Objective To investigate the dosimetry effect of Sum Plan and Bias Plan in the Monaco planning system for the addition of compensatory agents after left breast cancer surgery.Methods Twenty-nine patients with radical left mastectomy who received radiotherapy in this hospital from March 2023 to Feb-ruary 2024 were selected as the study objects.Based on the Monaco planning system and under the same opti-mal conditions,Sum Plan and Bias Plan were used to design the second-course plan based on the first-course plan.Sum Plan C1 and Bias Plan C2 were generated to compare the dosimetry differences of intensity modula-ted radiotherapy(IMRT)plans under the two dosimetric superposition methods.Results Compared with Sum Plan C1,the conformability index(CI)in the planned target area(PTV)of Bias Plan C2 was worse,the homogeneity index(HI)was better,and the mean cardiac dose(Dmean),V5,V10,V30,V40 in the organs at risk were better than that of Sum Plan C1.The Dmean,V5,V20 and contralateral V5 in the affected lung were lower,while the V5,V10,V15,V20,V25,V30 in the normal tissue were lower,while V35 was higher,and the number of subfields and machine hops were more,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Bias Plan dose overlay method was proposed in the design of segmental radiotherapy with compensator after left breast cancer surgery.

In recent years,with the rapid development of minimally-invasive interventional therapy technology,the effectiveness of neurointerventional therapy through radial artery puncture has been highlighted in clinical application.Compared with the commonly-used femoral artery puncture,transradial access can let the patients have a better comfort and willingness to accept the operation,which can also reduce postoperative complications and improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment.However,the perioperative nursing measures have always been based on the measures used in coronary interventional therapy,the nursing measures of neurointerventional therapy are still in the experience summary stage,and there is still a lack of unified,normative and guiding documents for formulating the clinical nursing care.This paper reviews the perioperative nursing measures of neurointerventional procedures via radial artery puncture,focusing on the advantages of radial artery puncture approach,the key points of preoperative care assessment,the intraoperative nursing strategy,the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications,etc.so as to provide evidence-based references for clinical nursing practice.

With the development of interventional technology and the innovation of interventional instruments,neurointerventional surgery has become one of the treatments for cerebrovascular diseases.Neurointervention has the advantages of less trauma,quick recovery and fewer complications.However,due to the complexity of cerebrovascular diseases and the vascular bending and variation,neurointerventional procedures often take a long time and require general anesthesia,which makes patients prone to hypothermia during surgery.At present,clinical studies on intraoperative hypothermia mainly focus on the surgical general anesthesia,and there are few studies related to hypothermia occurring in neurointerventional procedures,to which the clinical attention has not been highly paid.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the hypothermia during surgery,focusing on the effect of hypothermia on the body,the characteristics of neurointerventional therapy,the causes of hypothermia,and the prevention and treatment measures of intraoperative hypothermia,so as to provide reference for the medical staff working in the neurointerventional therapy department.

Objective:Analyze the impact of smoking on the mortality and life expectancy of residents in Tianjin in 2019.Methods:Use mortality case-control study method to collect all cause of death cases of residents in Tianjin in 2019 for analysis. After adjusting for the 5-years-old age group, education level, and marital status, the smoking attributed deaths from different diseases of different genders, smoking attributed deaths in different age groups, and their impact on life expectancy were analyzed.Results:The total number of deaths in 2019 was 75 254, with 42 201 males (56.1%). Among male deaths, 3 215 (9.9%) were attributed to smoking, of which 2 157 (50.2%) lung cancer deaths were attributed to smoking; The risk of lung cancer death among smokers was 3.075 times higher than that of non-smokers (95% CI: 2.812-3.364); Among the 33 053 female deaths (43.9%), 1 396 (5.8%) were caused by smoking, with 744 (29.1%) lung cancer deaths attributed to smoking. The age group with the highest number of deaths attributed to smoking for women was the 75-<80 years old age group, followed by the 70-<75 and 80-<85 years old age groups. The age group with the highest proportion of deaths attributed to smoking for men was the 55-<60 years old age group. In addition, smoking accounts for more than 60% of deaths in the 60-<65, 45-<50, 55-<60, and 65-<70 years old age groups. In 2019, the loss of life expectancy attributed to smoking deaths among all residents in Tianjin was 1.13 years, with a loss of 1.15 years for males and 0.57 years for females. The expected life expectancy excluding deaths caused by smoking was 82.92 years, 80.77 years for males and 84.61 years for females. Conclusions:Smoking remains one of the important risk factors for death among residents. Promoting effective measures to reduce smoking rates is an effective way to increase life expectancy.

【Objective】 To reveal the integral in vivo polypharmacokinetics (PPK) similarity or difference between Jinyinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, LJF) and Shanyinhua (Lonicerae Flos, LF), and provide reference for their clinical application. 【Methods】 The PPK model and its total quantum statistical moment similarity (TQSMS) method were used to compare the integral PPK profiles of nine components with anti-inflammatory efficacy (rutin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, dispsacoside B, macranthoidin B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid B, and isochlorogenic acid C) of LJF and LF. A total of 54 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) grade Kunming (KM) mice were randomized into LJF group and LF group (n = 27), and each group was divided into nine subgroups (n = 3) according to different time points. Subsequently, mice model of p-xylene-induced ear edema was constructed by oral administration of LJF and LF. The concentrations of the nine anti-inflammatory components in plasma samples of the mice were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS). And the pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of single component and the integral PPK parameters [total quantum statistical moment (TQSM) and TQSMS] of multiple components were calculated by Drug And Statistics (DAS) software and home-brew programs with Excel, respectively. 【Results】 There were significant differences in single-component PK parameters between LJF and LF (P < 0.05). Whereas, no significant differences were found in multi-component TQSM parameters, including total quantum zero moment (AUCT0-t, AUCT0-∞) and total quantum first moment (MRTT0-t, MRTT0-∞) for the total quanta (P > 0.05). Accordingly, single-component TQSMS varied from 0.220 4 to 0.968 9, and that for the total quanta was 0.828 4, suggesting no significant differences in the speed and extent of bioavailability between LJF and LF. Furthermore, in light of high TQSMS (0.828 4), the integral PPK profiles of the nine anti-inflammatory components of LJF and LF were similar under 90% confidence intervals. 【Conclusion】 The PPK model and its TQSMS method are appropriate and efficient to compare the similarity or difference of integral PPK profiles of multi-component herbal medicines. It is suggested in this research that LJF can be replaced with LF or vice versa for anti-inflammatory treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway in mediating the effect of puerarin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS: Fifteen BALB/C mice were randomized into control group, LPS group and puerarin treatment group, and in the latter two groups, the mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5 mg/kg), followed by daily injection of normal saline for 3 days or injection of puerarin (25 mg/kg) given 1 h later and then on a daily basis for 3 days. On day 5 after modeling, the kidney tissues were taken for histological observation and detection of cell apoptosis. The renal function indexes including urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured, and the expressions of SIRT1 and NF-κB-p65(acetyl K310) in the renal tissues were detected. RESULTS: Intraperitoneal injection of LPS caused obvious glomerular capillary dilatation, hyperemia, renal interstitial edema, and renal tubular epithelial cell swelling and deformation in the mice. The mouse models of LPS-induced AKI also showed significantly increased renal tubular injury score and renal cell apoptosis (P < 0.01) with increased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01), enhanced renal expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65(acetyl K310) (P < 0.01) and lowered renal expression of SIRT1 (P < 0.05). Treatment with puerarin effectively alleviated LPS-induced renal interstitial edema and renal tubular epithelial cell shedding, lowered renal tubular injury score (P < 0.01) and renal cell apoptosis rate (P < 0.01), and decreased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01). Puerarin treatment significantly reduced TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65 (acetyl K310) expression in the renal tissue (P < 0.05) and increased SIRT1 expression by 17% (P < 0.05) in the mouse models. CONCLUSION Puerarin can effectively alleviate LPS-induced AKI in mice possibly by modulating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor(AT/RT)is a rare and highly malignant embryonal tumor of the central nervous system in children,characterized by diverse histological morphology,high malignancy,rapid clinical progression,and poor prognosis for affected children.The pathogenesis of AT/RT involves mutations in chromosomes and genes,particularly the loss of function of the SMARCB1 gene.The diagnosis of AT/RT primarily relies on histological and immunohistochemical analysis.Currently,there is no standardized treatment protocol for AT/RT.The main treatment modalities include surgery,chemotherapy,radiotherapy,as well as emerging targeted therapy and immunotherapy.Despite progress in research and clinical trials on AT/RT in recent years,the prognosis for affected children remains poor,necessitating further research to develop more effective treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Objective:To establish an automatic planning method using volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for primary liver cancer (PLC) radiotherapy based on predicting the feasibility dose-volume histogram (DVH) and evaluate its performance.Methods:Ten patients with PLC were randomly chosen in this retrospective study. Pinnacle Auto-Planning was used to design the VMAT automatic plan, and the feasibility DVH curve was obtained through the PlanIQ dose prediction, and the initial optimization objectives of the automatic plan were set according to the displayed feasible objectives interval. The plans were accessed according to dosimetric parameters of the planning target volume and organs at risk as well as the monitor units. All patients′ automatic plans were compared with clinically accepted manual plans by using the paired t-test. Results:There was no significant difference of the planning target volume D 2%, D 98%, D mean or homogeneity index between the automatic and manual plans ((58.55±2.81) Gy vs.(57.98±4.17) Gy, (47.15±1.58) Gy vs.(47.82±1.38) Gy, (53.14±0.95) Gy vs.(53.44±1.67) Gy and 1.15±0.05 vs. 1.14±0.07, all P>0.05). The planning target volume conformity index of the manual plan was slightly higher than that of the automatic plan (0.77±0.08 vs. 0.69±0.06, P<0.05). The mean doses of normal liver, V 30Gy, V 20Gy, V 10Gy, V 5Gy and V< 5Gy of the automatic plan were significantly better than those of the manual plan ((26.68±11.13)% vs.(28.00±10.95)%, (29.96±11.50)% vs.(31.89±11.51)%, (34.88±11.51)% vs.(38.66±11.67)%, (45.38±12.40)% vs.(50.74±13.56)%, and (628.52±191.80) cm 3vs.(563.15±188.39) cm 3, all P<0.05). The mean doses of the small intestine, the duodenum, and the heart, as well as lung V 10 of the automatic plan were significantly less than those of the manual plan ((1.83±2.17) Gy vs.(2.37±2.81) Gy, (9.15±9.36) Gy vs.(11.18±10.49) Gy, and (5.44±3.10) Gy vs.(6.25±3.26) Gy, as well as (12.70±7.08)% vs.(14.47±8.11)%, all P<0.05). Monitor units did not significantly differ between two plans ((710.67±163.72) MU vs.(707.53±155.89) MU, P>0.05). Conclusions:The automatic planning method using VMAT for PLC radiotherapy based on predicting the feasibility DVH enhances the quality for PLC plans, especially in terms of normal liver sparing. Besides, it also has advantages for the protection of the intestine, whole lung and heart.

Objective:To study the association of duration and quality of sleep with metabolic syndrome.Methods:Multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to extract data from the '2015 adult chronic disease and nutrition monitoring population project’ from 42 communities of 7 districts in Tianjin. A total of 1 388 residents aged 45 to 59 years old were selected to analyze the relationship between both duration and quality of sleep and the metabolic syndrome. χ2 test, non-conditional logistic regression and classification tree models were used for data analysis. Result:The prevalence of metabolic syndrome appeared as 30.4%, 37.4 % and 43.1% in the poor, common or well sleep groups respectively. The prevalence rates of metabolic syndrome in the sleep time <6.0 h and >7.5 h, 6.0-7.5 h groups were 36.5% and 30.6% respectively. After adjusting for gender and age, results from the logistic regression analysis showed that short or long sleep duration, as well as poor sleep quality all appeared as risk factors on metabolic syndrome ( P<0.05). According to the classification tree model, factors as gender (importance: 0.004, standardized importance: 100%), quality of sleep (importance: 0.004, standardized importance: 99.5%), duration of sleep (importance: 0.002, standardized importance: 38.6%), education level (importance: 0.001, standardized importance: 22.3%) and salt intake (importance: 0.001, standardized importance: 22.2%) were all important on metabolic syndrome and with interactive effects. Conclusions:Both quality and duration of sleep were important influencing factors on metabolic syndrome among midlife population in Tianjin. More attention should be paid to sleep and health status among the midlife population. Ability on self-management of health should also be strengthened through health education, to prevent metabolic syndrome and other chronic diseases in this population.
