Objective To track and evaluate the implementation and application of the occupational health standard Radiation shielding requirements for radiotherapy room—Part 4: Radiotherapy room of ²⁵²Cf neutron afterloading (GBZ/T 201.4-2015) by radiation health technical service agencies, medical institutions, health supervision agencies, and radiotherapy facility design units, and to provide a scientific basis for the further revision and implementation of this standard. Methods Following the Guideline for health standards tracking evaluation (WS/T 536-2017) and the project implementation plan, relevant practitioners were randomly selected for a questionnaire survey. The survey primarily focused on their awareness, standard training, application, and revision suggestions of GBZ/T 201.4-2015. The results were summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 168 evaluation questionnaires were collected from relevant practitioners in 28 provinces. Only 31.6% of the respondents reported being “well familiar” or “ familiar” with the standard, 27.4% of the respondents believed that the standard was widely used, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard could meet the needs of their work. Only 14.9% of the respondents had received relevant training on the standard, more than half of the respondents had not applied the standard within the past 10 years, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard "needs to be revised". Conclusion Due to the small number of californium-252 neutron afterloading radiotherapy devices in operation on the market, the overall awareness of the standard is low, suggesting that relevant authorities need to strengthen training and publicity of the standard, and that certain sections of the standard need to be revised or merged.

Currently, in precision cardiac surgery, there are still some pressing issues that need to be addressed. For example, cardiopulmonary bypass remains a critical factor in precise surgical treatment, and many core aspects still rely on the experience and subjective judgment of cardiopulmonary bypass specialists and surgeons, lacking precise data feedback. With the increasing elderly population and rising surgical complexity, precise feedback during cardiopulmonary bypass becomes crucial for improving surgical success rates and facilitating high-complexity procedures. Overcoming these key challenges requires not only a solid medical background but also close collaboration among multiple interdisciplinary fields. Establishing a multidisciplinary team encompassing professionals from the medical, information, software, and related industries can provide high-quality solutions to these challenges. This article shows several patents from a collaborative medical and electronic information team, illustrating how to identify unresolved technical issues and find corresponding solutions in the field of precision cardiac surgery while sharing experiences in applying for invention patents.

Objective Using Cerenkov radiation energy transfer (CRET) effect of rare earth nanoparticles (RENPs) to enhance and convert Cerenkov luminescence into Cerenkov luminescence excited fluorescence,and to compare the accuracy of Cerenkov luminescence tomography (CLT) and Cerenkov luminescence excited fluorescence tomography (CLFT).Methods 68Ga (0.74 MBq) was used to respectively excite Y2O3 ∶Eu3+,Er2O3 and Eu2O3(10 mg/ml).Various radioactivities of 68Ga (3.70,1.85,0.92,0.46,0.23 MBq) were used to respectively excite Y2O3 ∶Eu3+ with a fixed concentration (10 mg/ml).A fixed radioactivity of 68Ga (3.70 MBq) was used to excite Y2O3 ∶Eu3+ with different concentrations (10.0,5.0,2.5,1.2,0.6 mg/ml) in order to find the relationships between the optical intensity and the radioactivity of 68Ga or the concentration of Y2O3 ∶Eu3+.Polyethylene tubes containing 68Ga (0.74 MBq) and 68Ga (0.74 MBq) +Y2O3 ∶Eu3+(1 mg) were respectively implanted into two nude mice,then PET/CT and optical imaging were acquired.Three-dimensional reconstruction was proceeded.One-way analysis of variance,two-sample t test,linear correlation analysis were used for data analysis.Results Y2O3 ∶Eu3+ could significantly and stably enhance the Cerenkov optical signal (F=53.35,q =17.03,P＜0.001).The enhanced optical signal intensity had linear relationships with the radioactivity of 68Ga or the concentration of Y2O3 ∶Eu3+(r values:0.99and 0.93).Three-dimensional reconstruction result showed that CLFT had significantly higher similarity than CLT (0.43±0.14 vs 0.16±0.06,t =5.090,P＜0.05).Conclusion CLFT could reflect the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals more precisely than CLT,and therefore might have potential in biologic optical imaging.

Objective To explore the impact of blood-activatingand qi-nourishing therapy on the hypercoagulable state of rats after femur fracture.Methods One hundred and twenty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,namely normal group,model group,low-molecular-weight heparin(LMWH) group,combination group (LMWH + Tongmai Decoction),30 rats in each group.The rat model of femur fracture was established.After successful modeling,LMWH group was given subcutaneous injection of LMWH 600 U/kg,and the combination group was given subcutaneous injection of LMWH 600 U/kg together with gastric gavage of Tongmai Decoction,the model group was given subcutaneous injection of the same volume of normal saline.The treatment lasted for 1-7 days after the surgery.The pathologic features of the left great saphenous vein were observed by HE staining method,and the relative volume,thickness and quantity of the blood vessels were also measured.The plasma D-dimer (D-D) and fibrinogen (FIB) levels were determined by biochemical analyzer,and the plasma levels of whole blood viscosity at low shear rate (WBV-lsr) and whole blood viscosity at high shear rate (WBV-hsr) were measured with hemodynamic detector.Results On day 7 after the modeling,less endothelium cells,agglomerative red cells,and large thrombi were found in the great saphenous vein tissue section of the model group under microscope.Compared with the normal group,the levels of D-D,FIB,WBV-lsr and WBV-hsr in the model group at various time points were increased,the difference being significant (P ＜ 0.05).After 7-day treatment,the levels of D-D,FIB,WBV-lsr and WBV-hsr in LMWH group and combination group were lower than those of the odel group,and the decrease in the combination group was superior to LMWH group(P ＜ 0.05).The blood vessel endothelium cells in the combination group were arranged neatly with same cellular width while without enlargement or swelling,the effect being superior to that of LMWH group.Conclusion Blood-activating and Qi-nourishing therapy can effectively relieve hypercoagulable state of rats after femur fracture.

Objective To quantitatively compare the diagnostic capability of 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG in well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) bearing mice by microPET/CT imaging.Methods The in vitro cellular uptake, in vivo microPET/CT imaging and biodistribution studies of 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG were quantitatively compared in SMMC-7721-based well-differentiated HCC.The human fibrosarcoma (HT-1080) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells/xenografts were respectively used as positive and negative reference groups for CD13.The expression of CD13 was qualitatively verified by immunohistostaining.The levels of CD13 and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) were semi-quantitatively analyzed by Western blot test for all 3 types of tumors.Two-sample t test was used for data analysis.Results The in vitro cellular uptake showed that the 68Ga-NGR uptake in SMMC-7721 and HT-1080 cells was higher than that in HT-29 cells, and the 68Ga-NGR uptake was higher than 18F-FDG uptake in SMMC-7721 cells.The in vivo microPET/CT imaging results revealed that the uptake of 68Ga-NGR in SMMC-7721 tumor was (2.17±0.21) %ID/g, remarkably higher compared to (0.73±0.26) %ID/g of 18F-FDG uptake (t=8.826, P<0.01).The tumor/liver ratio of 68Ga-NGR was 2.05±0.16, which was 2.03-fold higher than that of 18F-FDG.In the HT-1080 tumors, the uptakes of 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG were both high, and the values were (2.46±0.23) %ID/g, (3.47±0.31) %ID/g.The uptake of 68Ga-NGR was significantly lower than that of 18F-FDG in HT-29 tumors: (0.67±0.20) %ID/g vs (3.17±0.29) %ID/g;t=4.221, P<0.01.Western blot and immunohistostaining results were as follows: HT-1080(CD13+, G6Pase-), SMMC-7721(CD13+, G6Pase+), HT-29(CD13-, G6Pase-).Conclusions The uptake of 68Ga-NGR is higher than 18F-FDG uptake in SMMC-7721 tumor bearing mice, therefore it is worthwhile to consider the feasibility of clinical translation for PET/CT in diagnosis of HCC.Furthermore, because of the difference in 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG avidities in tumors with different molecular phenotypes of CD13 and G6Pase, there is an underlying potential for molecular imaging in the determination of molecular phenotypes.

BACKGROUND:Previously deep burn wound or skin defects are generaly repaired with skin grafting or flap of skin grafting. Obvious scar hyperplasia usualy appears after operation, which requires multiple surgeries. Meanwhile, patients have to suffer from great pain and bear high cost. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effects on deep wounds by continuous traction of self-designed skin-stretching device (patent No. ZL 2012 2 0022443.7). METHODS: Thirty patients with deep burn wound, skin defect or funicular scar were enroled, including 22 males and 8 females, aged 18-49 years, and randomly divided into two groups. Skin-stretching device was adopted for skin traction treatment. Twenty cases underwent skin traction from 1 kg puling force to 5 kg, with an increase of 1 kg per 2 days, 6 hours a day for 10 days. Blood flow at the beginning, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes of the skin traction, and the changes of wound edge skin as wel as histological changes of the skin were observed. Of the remaining 10 cases, 2, 6, and 2 cases underwent skin traction of 2, 4, 7 kg, respectively. Blood flow and skin changes were also observed to find out the most suitable and safe force. RESULTS AND CONLUSION:Al the 30 cases achieved primary healing without necrosis of skin, infection or peripheral circulatory disorders, and the appearance and function recovered wel. The healing time was 8-24 days. The skin-stretching device was most safe under 4 kg puling force, by which, there was neither blood circulation obstacle nor tear of skin. After traction, the skin blood flow and the number of cels increased, especialy the epithelial basal cels. The colagen fibers became thicker and denser, and the elastic fibers regenerated significantly; the fibroblasts and capillary density increased. It has been proved that we can better close the wound and reduce scar formation effectively with the self-designed skin-stretching device for skin traction.

Objective To describe and analyze the surgical outcomes of modified enlarged translabyrinthine approach (ETLA),which is combined with middle ear eradication and blind sac technique.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 28 patients who underwent surgery for vestibular schwannoma (VS) via modified ETLA from Jan.2001 to Dec.2012.The sizes of tumors were 25-52 mn[(38.2-± 9.1)mm (x-± s)].Main outcomes measures included the rate of total removal,the rate of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leakage after surgery,complications,and intraoperative anatomical preservation of facial nerve and facial nerve function.Results Among the 28 patients who underwent modified ETLA,the rate of total removal was 100％.There was no death after surgery via modified ETLA.The rate of CSF leakage after surgery was 3.5％ (1/28).The rate of intraoperative anatomical preservation of facial nerve was 89.3％ (25/28).Short-term and long-term good facial nerve function rates were 25.0％ (7/28) and 42.9％ (12/28),respectively.Conclusions Modified ETLA is suitable for VS ＞ 3 cm with extension to the anterior region of cerebellopontine angle,VS involve with labyrinth part of facial nerve,high jugular bulb,preposing sigmoid sinus and highly pneumatized temporal bone.This approach can provide a wide surgical field and well prevention of CSF leakage.

Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis is a relatively rare disease. Most patients may be successfully treated with anti-coagulation alone. However, bowel stricture may develop due to intestinal ischemia which may require surgical treatment. This report describes a rare case of small bowel stricture occurring one month after successful treatment of SMV thrombosis. After segmental resection of strictured bowel, the patient's post-operative course was uneventful.
