Objective:To simulate the spot characteristics of light emitting diode (LED) array light sources used in non-invasive phototherapy at different distances and to provide reference for the formulation of clinical non-invasive phototherapy treatment schemes.Methods:The ray tracing module in Comsol software was used to simulate the spot characteristics of LED light sources with different power and arrays at different distances, and the fitting curve was analyzed. The model was verified by the actual LED spot measurement, and the feasibility of the treatment scheme was verified by the mouse back wound model.Results:Under the irradiation of 2×2 LED light source array, with the increase of the vertical distance from the light source, the area of the effective area and the treatment area gradually increased, the power density value in the area gradually decreased, and the uniformity gradually increased. These changes showed a linear or binomial correlation with the vertical distance. The model was improved based on the actual LED light spot, and the new model consisted of an array of 18 LEDs as the light source, and the treatment area showed better uniformity and power density values. The simulated optical parameters were used to treat mice’s wounds with light, and the results showed that light treatment could promote wound healing.Conclusions:The established medical LED array light source spot characteristics simulation can provide a reference for the development of clinical non-invasive phototherapy protocols, thus helping the clinic select the appropriate LED power and array distribution according to the treatment needs and also providing a basis for the development of medical LED array light sources.

Evaluate the effect of the fresh air purification system on the improvement of indoor PM 2.5 levels in a primary school classroom in Jinan City, Shandong Province. Our purpose is to explore the optimal operating time of the fresh air system and the main factors that affect the fresh air purification system to improve indoor air quality. From December 9, 2019 to December 10, 2019, two classrooms of the same area on the third floor of a primary school building in Jinan City, Shandong Province were selected as monitoring points. During the operation of the fresh air purification system, the PM 2.5 concentration in the classroom is reduced by an average of 48.1%-61.5% compared to the outdoor PM 2.5 concentration. After running for about 2 hours, the indoor PM 2.5 concentration decreased to a relatively stable concentration level. The operating time of the fresh air purification system, student activities between classes, indoor temperature, indoor relative humidity, and outdoor PM 2.5 concentration are important factors that affect the indoor particulate removal rate. In the case of a certain amount of fresh air and indoor area, closing doors and windows and appropriately extending the operation time of the fresh air purification system can improve the air quality in the classroom to a certain extent and protect the health of students.

Objective:To test the usefulness of PET-range verification (RV) method for proton radiation accuracy verification in poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) phantom using off-line PET/CT scanning.Methods:Proton irradiation dose of 2 Gy and 4 Gy were delivered in PMMA phantom. Given the difference of clinical target volume (CTV), 7 subgroups with different depth (5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, 20.0 cm) were set for each dose (14 radiation plans or radiation fields). PET/CT scan was performed 10 min after irradiation of 48-221 MeV proton beam. A co-registration between CT from treatment planning system and PET/CT was performed, as well as the smoothing and normalization of PET/CT data. The region of interest (ROI) and profile lines were drawn with the Raystation PET-RV software. The predictive induced radioactivity and the measured induced radioactivity profile lines were analyzed to evaluate the Δ R50, namely, the error at the position corresponding to 50% of the maximum predictive induced radioactivity at the end of both curves. Results:The size of each ROI was 5.0 cm×5.0 cm×2.5 cm. Profile lines were evenly distributed with the interval of 3 mm, and totally 289 pairs of profile lines were drew. The 2 Gy- and 4 Gy-dose groups yielded similar mean depth errors (Δ R50 between 1 mm and -1 mm with a standard deviation <1 mm). Conclusions:The off-line PET/CT scanning of PMMA phantom reveals a good agreement between predicted and measured PET data, with error of ±1 mm. The PET-RV method can be extended to clinical cases′ verification in human body treatment with further investigation.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of early monitoring doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity by apoptosis molecular imaging of 2-(5-[¹⁸F]fluoro-pentyl)-2-methyl-malonic acid (¹⁸F-ML-10) PET/CT. Methods: Forty-seven BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the chemotherapy group (n=30) and the control group (n=17) according to the random number table. The mice in chemotherapy group were intraperitoneally injected with DOX (4 mg/kg) once a week for 3 weeks and mice in the control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline. All mice were subjected to ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and ¹⁸F-ML-10 PET/CT imaging at day 0, 2, 9, 16, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was continuously monitored using cine cardiac MR (cine-CMR) imaging. The region of interest (ROI) was delineated on PET/CT images, and the maximum percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) was calculated. The mice were sacrificed after imaging, and the heart tissue was taken for HE staining and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. One-way analysis of variance, independent-samples t test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: In the chemotherapy group, the myocardial ¹⁸F-FDG uptake on day 0, 2, 9, 16 were (63.3±14.5), (93.7±24.0), (153.6±20.6) and (135.8±32.5) %ID/g respectively, and ¹⁸F-ML-10 uptake were (0.09±0.02), (0.18±0.03), (0.22±0.04) and (0.55±0.12) %ID/g respectively. Compared with baseline (day 0), ¹⁸F-FDG and ¹⁸F-ML-10 uptake were significantly increased in the chemotherapy group at each time point after DOX administration(F=6.823, 20.848, both P<0.01). The myocardial ¹⁸F-ML-10 and ¹⁸F-FDG uptake were essentially unchanged at all time points in the control group(F=2.036, 1.155, both P>0.05). TUNEL and HE staining indicated that the cardiomyocytes in the chemotherapy group showed obvious apoptosis and vacuolization, and the apoptotic index (AI) was positively correlated with the ¹⁸F-ML-10 uptake (r=0.950, P<0.01). The cine-CMR imaging results showed that the LVEF in the chemotherapy group continued to decrease after DOX administration (F=4.507, P<0.05), and significant difference was identified at day 16 (t=2.980, P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between ¹⁸F-ML-10 uptake and LVEF (r=-0.709, P=0.01). Conclusions Both ¹⁸F-FDG and ¹⁸F-ML-10 PET/CT imaging can early assess DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo. Given the high targeting specificity of ¹⁸F-ML-10, it may have a greater clinical transformation advantage over ¹⁸F-FDG in early assessment of cardiotoxicity.

Objective: To observe the evaluation function of gated equilibration ventriculography for the changes of left ventricular function in breast cancer with targeted therapy. Methods: From February 2016 to December 2017, a total of 60 female breast cancer patients (age: 28-65 (48.7±9.4) years) were included prospectively. Patients were divided into 2 groups: lapatinib combined with taxeme-based chemotherapy group (group A; n=25, age: 29-65 (47.8±11.3) years) and lapatinib monotherapy group (group B; n=35, age: 31-62 (51.1±8.5) years). All patients underwent gated equilibration ventriculography before treatment and 6/12 months after treatment. The parameters of left ventricular function including left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), peak ejection rate (PER), peak filling rate (PFR), 1/3 ejection fraction (EF), 1/3 filling fraction (FF), time to peak ejection rate (TPER) and time of peak filling rate (TPFR) were observed. Repeated measurement analysis of variance, independent-samples t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were performed. Results: In group A, the PER at 12 months after treatment ((3.11±0.48) end-diastolic volume (EDV)/s) was lower than that before treatment ((3.60±0.62) EDV/s; F=3.447, t=0.60, P<0.05), while there was no statistical difference between PER at 6 months after treatment ((3.34±0.57) EDV/s) and that before treatment (t=0.51, P>0.05); the PFR at 6 months ((3.07±0.71) EDV/s) and 12 months after treatment ((2.84±0.54) EDV/s) declined significantly compared with that before treatment ((3.57±0.81) EDV/s; F=5.345, t=0.82 and 0.75, both P<0.05). In group B, the PFR at 12 months after treatment ((2.86±0.55) EDV/s) declined significantly compared with that before treatment ((3.23±0.87) EDV/s; F=3.214, t=0.84, P<0.05). The decrease of PFR at 6 months and 12 months after treatment in group A was greater than that in group B (-0.37(-0.78, 0.15) vs -0.13(-0.44, 0.17) EDV/s; z=-1.569, P<0.05). Conclusions The gated equilibration ventriculography can effectively monitor the left ventricular function of breast cancer patients after targeted therapy. PER and PFR may be more sensitive than other parameters to assess heart function changes. The lapatinib combined with taxeme-based chemotherapy can affect diastolic function more and earlier than lapatinib monotherapy.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hesperidin ( HDN) on antioxidant ac-tivity in mice.Methods HDN scavenging free radicals was detected by spectrophotometry, inhibition of mitochondrial swelling was detected by pyrogallol autoxidation, and erythrocyte hemolysis was detected by Fe2+phenanthroline.The mice were fed with HDN at different concentrations (0, 80, 160, 320 mg/kg) by gastric gavage for 12 days.ELISA and spec-trophotometric methods were used to assay the amount of MDA in mouse liver and kidney tissues and the activity of antioxi-dant enzymes ( SOD, CAT, GSH-PX) , and the antioxidant enzyme gene mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR.Re-sults Compared with the control group, the radical (· OH, O2 -· , DPPH· ) clearance rate was significantly increased in the HDN groups.There was a significant decrease of oxidative hemolysis of erythrocytes and mitochondrial swelling in vitro. MDA content in the mouse liver and kidney tissues and serum showed a decrease, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes ( SOD, CAT, GSH-PX) in the HDN group was significantly higher than that in the control group.There was an up-regula-tion of mRNA expression of antioxidant enzyme in mouse liver and kidney tissues.Conclusions The results showed that HDN can eliminate free radicals, reduce cell oxidative damage caused by free radicals, inhibit superoxide production, up-regulate antioxidant enzyme gene expression and enhance their enzyme activity, thus showing a good antioxidant effect.

Objective To study the anatomic data of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and to provide anatomical basis for clinical tissue transplantation based on the first metatarsal dorsal artery.Methods The 16 adult cadaver specimens with 32 feet were dissected and meas-ured by vernier caliper.Then the anatomic data of the first metatarsal dorsal artery were analyzed.Results Through the examinations of 32 feet sample,the first metatarsal dorsal artery were classified into 5 types.Type Ⅰ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs at the surface of the first dorsal interosseous muscle (13 sides,40.6%).Type Ⅱ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs in the interior of the first dorsal interosse-ous muscle (11sides,34.4%).Type Ⅲ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs underneath the first dorsal interosseous muscle (6 sides, 18.8%).Type Ⅳ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery is slender (1 side,3.1%).TypeⅤ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery is absent (1 side, 3.1%).Distance relationship was measured between the first metatarsal bone and the first metatarsal dorsal artery:the vertical distance be-tween the origin of the posterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and base of the first metatarsal bone was (2.4 ±0.3)mm,the ver-tical distance between the origin of the posterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and head of the first metatarsal bone was (10.1 ±1.0)mm;the vertical distance between the origin of the anterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and the first metatarso-phalangeal joint was (7.6 ±2.7)mm.Conclusion The first metatarsal dorsal artery has clinical reference significance for the hands and feet’s trauma and skin flap transplantation such as thumb reconstruction.

Objective To investigate the effect of PPARγ in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) for the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and plaque stability. Methods We selected 102 patients with ACS, including 52 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (ACS+T2DM group) and 50 patients with simply ACS (ACS group). Meanwhile, we selected 30 patients without coronary heart disease and T2DM as the control group. All basic clinic data, CAG and the Gensini score were compared among all groups. To all patients, blood was drew when they were enrolled to detect the level of PPARγ and MMP-9. Results Gensini points in the ACS+T2DM group was much higher than that of the ACS group (P < 0.05). The levels of PPARγ of the ACS group and the ACS+T2DM group, when compared with the control group, were decreased significantly, but the level of MMP-9 were increased (all P < 0.05). The level of PPARγ in the ACS+T2DM group was much lower than the ACS group, and the level of MMP-9 was much higher (P<0.05). Gensini scores (r=-0.416, P<0.05), the level of MMP-9(r= - 0.503, P < 0.05) were correlated negatively with the level of PPARγ. Conclusions Complicating with T2DM can aggravate coronary artery disease and plaque instability degree in ACS patients, and PPARγpossibly make an protective effect.
