Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment methods for malignant tumors, which can cause the radiation damage to normal tissues. Radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) is one of the main adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy. The main clinical manifestations of RISI are dermatitis, ulcer, erosion and necrosis, which seriously affect the quality of life and treatment effect of tumor radiotherapy patients, and even affect the overall survival of patients. The pathological mechanism of RISI is still unclear. Some studies have shown that inflammation and oxidative stress are the main causes of RISI. RISI can be divided into acute and chronic RISI according to the different onset time, and different treatment strategies can be formulated according to the severity of the injury. In this article, clinical manifestations, classification, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of RISI are comprehensively summarized.

Objective:To evaluate the characteristics of diastolic left intraventricular pressure differences(IVPD) and intraventricular pressure gradients(IVPG) among normal adults in different ages by vector flow mapping.Methods:From March 2019 to October 2020, 1 093 healthy volunteers were selected from the physical examination center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, and they were divided into youth group (18-40 years old), middle-aged group (41-65 years old) and elderly group (>65 years old). IVPD and IVPG during isovolumetric relaxation(IR) period, rapid filling (RF) period, slow filling(SF) period, and atrial contraction(AC) period were measured by vector flow mapping, and were correlated with left ventricular diastolic function parameters.Results:①IVPD-IR, IVPD-AC, IVPG-IR, and IVPG-AC gradually increased while IVPD-RF, IVPD-SF, and IVPG-RF gradually decreased from the youth group to the elderly group(all P<0.05). ②IVPD-RF and IVPG-RF were positively correlated with E( r=0.391, 0.402, P<0.001, respectively). IVPD-AC and IVPG-AC were positively correlated with A( r=0.407, 0.425, P<0.001, respectively) and E/e′( r=0.268, 0.294, P<0.001, respectively) while negatively correlated with E/A( r=-0.510, -0.506, P<0.001, respectively) and e′/a′( r=-0.514, -0.511, P<0.001, respectively). Conclusions:IVPD and IVPG can quantitatively analyze the changes of left ventricular hemodynamics in normal subjects, which are expected to be new indexes to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function.
