Objective To quantify the setup errors for the different anatomical sites of patients who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with linear accelerator on-board kilovolt fan beam CT(kV-FBCT) as non-isocenter IGRT and megavolt cone beam CT (MV-CBCT) as isocenter IGRT. Methods A retrospective analysis was performedon 70 patients who underwent radiotherapy, kV-FBCT, and/or MV-CBCT scans after each routine setup prior to IMRT. The average displacement (M), systematic error (Σ), and random error (б) at different treatment sites in the left-right, anterior-posterior, and cranial-caudal directions were calculated according to the individual displacements. The formula 2.5Σ+0.7б was used to estimate the PTV margin in respective direction. For each single patient, the root mean square in three directions was used as 3D displacement. Results A total of 1130 displacements were recorded in the 70 patients. The PTV margin was estimated to be 1.9-3.1 mm in head and neck cancer, 2.8-5.1 mm in thoracic cancer, 4.6-5.1 mm in breast cancer, 3.0-5.5 mm in upper abdominal cancer, and 3.5-6.8 mm in pelvic tumor. For the 3D mean displacements, the head and neck, thoracic, breast, upper abdominal, and pelvic cancer were 2.4±1.0, 4.0±1.6, 4.1±2.0, 4.6±2.1, and 4.6±2.1 mm, respectively. The average 3D displacement obtained by kV-FBCT and MV-CBCT were 4.1 and 3.4 mm, respectively (

Excess activation of cardiac fibroblasts inevitably induces cardiac fibrosis. Emodin has been used as a natural medicine against several chronic diseases. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of emodin on cardiac fibrosis and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Intragastric administration of emodin markedly decreased left ventricular wall thickness in a mouse model of pathological cardiac hypertrophy with excess fibrosis induced by transaortic constriction (TAC) and suppressed activation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by angiotensin II (AngII). Emodin upregulated expression of metastasis associated protein 3 (MTA3) and restored the MTA3 expression in the setting of cardiac fibrosis. Moreover, overexpression of MTA3 promoted cardiac fibrosis; in contrast, silence of MTA3 abrogated the inhibitory effect of emodin on fibroblast activation. Our findings unraveled the potential of emodin to alleviate cardiac fibrosis upregulating MTA3 and highlight the regulatory role of MTA3 in the development of cardiac fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of parecoxib combined with ropivacaine for incision infiltration on agitation during recovery from anesthesia in patients undergoing abdominal hepatectomy. Methods Forty patients of both sexes, aged 35-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg∕m2 , of Ameri-can Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective partial hepatectomy, were di-vided into parecoxib sodium group ( group P ) and parecoxib sodium plus ropivacaine group ( group RP ) with 20 cases in each group. Parecoxib sodium 40 mg was intravenously injected at 30 min before operation in group P. Parecoxib sodium 40 mg was intravenously injected at 30 min before operation, and incision in-filtration was performed with 0. 5% ropivacaine 20 ml at the end of surgery in group RP. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was performed at the end of surgery in both groups. The development of agitation, re-spiratory depression and nausea and vomiting was recorded within 30 min after operation. Blood samples were collected from the radial artery immediately before induction ( T0 ) , at the end of surgery ( T1 ) and at removal of extubation ( T2 ) for determination of plasma cortisone ( Cor) concentrations ( by radio-immunity method), plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay) and blood glucose ( using a blood gas analyzer) . Results Compared with the baseline at T0 , the plasma concentrations of Cor, Glu, E and NE were significantly increased at T1,2 in two groups ( P>0. 05) . The incidence of agitation and plasma concentrations of Cor, Glu, E and NE were significantly low-er at T1,2 in group RP than in group P ( P<0. 05) . No patients developed nausea and vomiting and respira-tory depression in two groups. Conclusion Parecoxib combined with ropivacaine for incision infiltration can decrease the occurrence of agitation during recovery from anesthesia, which is related to inhibiting stress responses of patients undergoing abdominal hepatectomy.
