Objective To explore the effect of plasma-activated gas(PAG)in promoting wound healing.Methods The pro-healing effect of PAG was explored by testing the effectiveness of PAG in promoting cell proliferation and healing of infected wounds.Cell proliferation assay:five different cells(i.e.,HSF,IHSMC,WPMY-1,HaCaT,and HFF)in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into culture plates.After the cells grew adherently to the wall,the different cells were each grouped experimentally using a suitable time gradient.After the cells were treated with PAG for different time,their activity was detected by CCK-8 method.Animal infected wound healing assay:a wound of about 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm in size was created on the back of SD rats with sterile tweezers and scissors,and then the wound was infected with P.Aeruginosa with A600nm=6.5.After the infection was completed,the wounds were treated with PAG at regular intervals,and the experiment groups were subdivided according to the different treatment durations.Wound healing photographs and changes in relative wound area were used as indicators of healing performance.Results Cell proliferation assay:PAG treatment was effective in promoting cell proliferation for a reasonable period of time,while overdose led to cell death.Therefore,the dose of cells treated with plasma activation gas was defined as=W/N(J/cell),where W is the work consumed by the activation gas device during the treatment process and N is the number of cells.The three indexes(starting dose,optimal dose and safe dose range)were used to characterize the proliferative effect of PAG.Animal infected wound healing assay:the experimental groups all showed accelerated wound healing,so the optimal treatment time was used to characterize the pro-healing effect of PAG.The sterilization mode played a primary role,with an optimal treatment time of 2 min,and the pro-healing mode played a secondary role.The treatment conditions with the best overall healing effect were 2 min for the sterilization mode and 1 min for the pro-healing mode.Conclusion PAG has the effect of promoting cell proliferation and infected wound healing,and indicators can be summarized to quantitatively describe its effect,which is conducive to further standardization of PAG research and clinical utility.

Objective To explore the correction of beam trajectories in the presence of fringe fields in magnetic resonance imaging-guided proton therapy and dose changes in the body before and after correction.Methods The open-source treatment planning software matRad was used to design plans for brain tumor,liver tumor,and prostate cancer cases,and simulation studies were conducted in the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit TOPAS to calculate proton dose distribution.A proton beam trajectory correction model suitable for three-dimensional magnetic fields was established,and a beam trajectory correction algorithm was developed.The deflection of the proton Bragg peak in the presence of fringe fields was analyzed.Furthermore,3 treatment plans were simulated and dose correction was carried out when the fringe field existed.Gamma analysis method is used to evaluate the correction effect;and the dose changes in the target area and organs-at-risk after correction were quantitatively analyzed.Results The perturbation of the magnetic field would cause lateral deflection of the proton beam trajectory,and the presence of fringe fields would significantly increase this effect,which increased with the increasing of beam energy.When the fringe field existed,the treatment plans for brain tumor,liver tumor,and prostate cancer were corrected.Under the 3%/3 mm criterion,the gamma passing rates for target area were 94.844%,92.054%,and 97.863%,respectively,and after correction,the total dose in the body was increased by 2.8%,2.5%,and 1.5%,respectively.The increased dose was mainly contributed by incident protons.Conclusion In magnetic resonance imaging-guided proton therapy,the effects of fringe fields should be considered.The increase in incident proton beam energy after correction will lead to an increase in the total dose in the body.Since the beam trajectory still has curvature,the dose changes differently in different organs-at-risk.

Objective·To compare the effects and complications of carbon dioxide laser laryngectomy and open partial laryngectomy in the treatment of laryngeal carcinoma.Methods·Clinical data of 101 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma admitted to Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2013 to January 2018 were selected and divided into open surgery group and minimally invasive group according to different surgical methods.The open surgery group received open partial laryngectomy(57 cases),and the minimally invasive group received carbon dioxide laser laryngectomy(44 cases).Follow-up visits were made by telephone and outpatient visits,and the operation time,postoperative laryngeal mucosa edema time,length of stay,5-year survival rate,complication rate and recurrence rate of the two groups were compared in the different clinical stages(stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,and stage Ⅲ)and tumor locations(glottic type and non-glottic type).Results·The operation time,postoperative laryngeal mucosa edema time and length of stay of the minimally invasive group were shorter than those of the open surgery group(P＜0.05).Comparison of the 5-year survival rates of patients with the same clinical stage and glottic type between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference(both P＞0.05);while comparison of the 5-year survival rates of patients with non-glottic type between the two groups(62.5％in the open surgery group vs 0 in the minimally invasive group)showed a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).In the minimally invasive group,there were 3 cases of complications,including 1 case of fever and 2 cases of lung infection;in the open surgery group,there were 14 cases of complications,including 5 cases of fever,7 cases of lung infection and 2 cases of pharyngeal fistula.The complication rate of patients in the minimally invasive group(6.82％,3/44)was lower than that in the open surgery group(24.60％,14/57),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);the complication rate of patients with stage Ⅱ and glottic type in the minimally invasive group was significantly lower than that in the open surgery group(P＜0.05).Comparing the recurrence rate of patients in the two groups(10.53％in the open surgery group vs 2.27％in the minimally invasive group),the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion·Compared with open partial laryngectomy,carbon dioxide laser laryngectomy has faster postoperative recovery and lower complication rate in the treatment of early and middle laryngeal malignant tumors,so it is worth promoting.
