Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety between WangShiBaoChiWan and mosapride in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:From September 2019 to September 2020, patients with postprandial fullness and early satiation who met the Rome Ⅳ criteria for FD diagnosis were enrolled from 15 hospitals, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changhai Hospital), Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical College. The subjects were randomly divided into WangShiBaoChiWan (experimental) group and mosapride (control) group in the ratio of 1∶1. The treatment regimens were WangShiBaoChiWan+ mosapride simulator, WangShiBaoChiWan simulator+ mosapride, respectively with a treatment period of 2 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was the improvement rates of main symptoms before and after treatment, the secondary efficacy primary efficacy outcome was the total clinical effective rate and the change of the single symptom score. And the safety indicator included adverse events. Independent sample t-test, paired t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 251 FD patients were enrolled in the full analysis set, including 124 in the experimental group and 127 in the control group; 241 FD patients were in the per-protocol analysis set, including 117 in the experimental group and 124 in the control group. The analysis of per-protocol analysis set showed that the improvement rates of the main symptoms of the experimental group and the control group were (66±29)% and (60±30)%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The improvement rate of the main symptoms of the experimental group reached 117% of that of the control group, which exceeded the expected non-inferiority standard of 80%. The total clinical effective rates of the experimental group and the control group were 76.07% (89/117) and 75.81% (94/124), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of full analysis set showed that the incidence of adverse events of the experimental group and the control group was 1.62% (2/124) and 1.57% (2/127), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were no serious adverse events in the two groups. Conclusion:The improvement rate of the main symptoms of WangShiBaoChiWan is not inferior to that of mosapride in the treatment of FD, and it has good safety.

Cannulated Screw is a common internal fixation for the treatment of femoral neck fractures. However, the traditional implantation method has disadvantages such as inaccuracy and large radiation exposure. Based on the anatomical characteristics of the femoral neck and geometric principles, we develop a novel guide device for cannulated screws insertion. The cadaver experiment showed that it can improve the accuracy of cannulated screws implantation, reduce puncture attempts and the radiation exposure of doctors and patients.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of the "task-based" teaching mode in dose measurement of tumor radiotherapy to develop the independent practical ability of students.Methods:Twenty-one undergraduate students majoring in radiotherapy dosimetry were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=11) and control group ( n=10). The "task-based" teaching mode based on independent learning, thinking and designing was used in the experimental group, while the traditional teaching mode based on the guidance of teachers was applied in the control group. Then the practical examination of students was carried out through the case of measuring the absorbed dose of accelerator electron beam. The practical ability of the two groups of students was scored and compared by the objective and comprehensive scoring criteria. Results:The scores of each practical step and total score in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The average total scores of the two groups were (90.18±1.97) and (83.70±3.68), respectively. Conclusion:The "task-based" practice teaching mode can improve students' ability of completing radiotherapy dose measurement independently.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric effect of accelerator gantry rotation angle errors, collimator and multileaf collimator ( MLC) leaf position errors on volumetric-modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) for cervical cancer. Methods A total of 10 patients with cervical cancer were selected. The plan. Trail file of each clinical plan was extracted from the Pinnacle3 V9. 2 planning system of USA Philips, then the operating parameters of tach control point were read and modified by Matlab programs, and thus the operating error of the accelerator was simulated. Results In this paper, it was discovered that systematic accelerator gantry rotation angle errors, systematic collimator position errors and systematic MLC shift errors which led to the maximum changes of the PTV dose limit were 0. 16%, 0. 46% and 0. 57%, respectively, and the maximum changes of the dose limit of organs at risk ( OAR) were 0. 38%, -1. 32% and -0. 44%, respectively. When the systematic MLC gap width errors were ± 0. 5, ± 1 and ± 2 mm, respectively, the maximum changes of PTV dose were 2. 11%, 3. 04% and 6. 03%, respectively, while the maximum changes of the OAR average dose were 2. 17%, 3. 92% and 7. 97%, respectively. Furthermore, the dose limits of PTV and OAR showed a strong linear correlation with MLC open or close errors(t=21. 201~90. 562,P<0. 05). If actual errors of each parameter of accelerator were introduced, the maximum changes of PTV and OAR dose limits were 0. 16% and 1. 30%, respectively, and conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) were barely changed. Conclusions No significant effect was found for systematic accelerator gantry rotation angle errors, systematic collimator position errors and systematic MLC shift errors for cervical cancer VMAT patients. However, there is a high sensitivity to dose distribution for MLC open or close errors. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention on the quality control of the accelerator running in particular MLC position errors to ensure the therapeutic accuracy.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics, imaging feature, surgical outcomes, and prognosis of recurrent aneurysmal bone cysts (RABC) of the extremities. Methods: Between January 2008 and January 2016, 29 patients histopathologically diagnosed with RABC were treated at our hospital. These patients included 15 males and 14 females. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 17.4 years(range 4-42 years). The most common site of the RABC was the proximal tibia (12 cases), followed by the distal femur (11 cases), and 3 cases each with involvement of the proximal humerus and the proximal femur. Recurrence was most commonly ob-served within 24 months following the initial treatment. Intralesional re-curettage was performed in 24 patients and en bloc resection of the tumor and reconstruction in 5 patients. The medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) score was used to evaluate postoperative func-tion of the affected limb, and the comprehensive clinical efficacy was evaluated on the basis of the Mankin criteria. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 64 months (range 24-90 months). Re-recurrence occurred in 1 patient with a total re-recurrence rate of 3.4%. The postoperative MTSS score was 26-30 points (mean 29.1 points) in the intralesional re-curettage group and 21-27 points (mean 23.0 points) in the tumor resection group. Based on the Mankin criteria, excellent and good clinical outcomes were observed in 95.8% of patients in the intralesional and 60% of the patients in the tumor resection and reconstruction groups. Conclusions: Regular follow-up is essential for the early diagnosis of RABC. The re-recurrence rate following intralesional re-curettage was within an acceptable range, and postoperative limb function was satisfactory; therefore, intralesional re-curettage is the treatment of choice for RABC in-volving the extremities. Tumor resection can be performed in patients with severe articular surface destruction and repeated recur-rence, although long-term complications may occur.

Aberrant regulation of miRNA genes contributes to pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases, including cancer. The TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a RNA/DNA binding protein associated with neurodegeneration, is involved in miRNA biogenesis. Here, we systematically examined miRNAs regulated by TDP-43 using RNA-Seq coupled with an siRNA-mediated knockdown approach. TDP-43 knockdown affected the expression of a number of miRNAs. In addition, TDP-43 down-regulation led to alterations in the patterns of different isoforms of miRNAs (isomiRs) and miRNA arm selection, suggesting a previously unknown role of TDP-43 in miRNA processing. A number of TDP-43 associated miRNAs, and their candidate target genes, are associated with human cancers. Our data reveal highly complex roles of TDP-43 in regulating different miRNAs and their target genes. Our results suggest that TDP-43 may promote migration of lung cancer cells by regulating miR-423-3p. In contrast, TDP-43 increases miR-500a-3p expression and binds to the mature miR-500a-3p sequence. Reduced expression of miR-500a-3p is associated with poor survival of lung cancer patients, suggesting that TDP-43 may have a suppressive role in cancer by regulating miR-500a-3p. Cancer-associated genes LIF and PAPPA are possible targets of miR-500a-3p. Our work suggests that TDP-43-regulated miRNAs may play multifaceted roles in the pathogenesis of cancer.

Objective To reduce the dose to organ at risk ( OAR) by script-based optimizing the gantry angles of tangential beams for forward-planned intensity-modulated breast radiotherapy ( fIMRT ) plans. Methods A total of 46 patients with breast cancer (26 in left and 20 in right) after conservative surgery who were treated with manually planned fIMRT were retrospectively re-planned using a script to place the tangential beams automatically. The script program was developed using Pinnacle3 scripting language as imbedded in the Pinnacle3 treatment planning system, and the Python scripting language. Dosimetric indices, including V20 of the ipsilateral lung, D1 of the contralateral breast and V10 of the heart were extracted by the script for plans of different gantry angles. Then the optimal tangential angles were selected by a penalty function. Results For the 26 left breast cancer cases, V20 of the ipsilateral lung for manual and script were (18.2 ±3.4)% and (18.1 ±3.4)%, respectively(P>0.05), while D1 of the contra-lateral breast(249. 2 ± 88. 4) cGy and (230. 4 ± 80. 2) cGy, respectively( t=2. 27, P<0. 05), V10 of the heart (13. 7 ± 5. 7)% and (13. 1 ± 5. 7)%(t=2. 82, P<0. 05). The V20 of the ipsilateral lung of the 20 right breast cancer cases were (19. 8 ± 3. 8)% and (19. 8 ± 3. 9)%, respectively(P>0. 05). The script plans achieved better V10 of the heart[(298. 0 ± 239. 7) cGy] than the manual plans[(340. 0 ± 286. 2) cGy] (t =2. 53, P <0. 05). Conclusions Compared with the manualmethod, the script can assess of the impact of tangential beam angles on the OAR dose, patient-specifically and quantitatively, hence make better trade-offs and improve the plan quality.
