ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of BIS-guided closed-loop target-controlled infusion on perioperative Th1/Th2 balance in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy under different anesthesia and sedation depths. Methods We applied random number table method to divide 73 elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic radical gastrectomy into BIS closed-loop target-controlled infusion group with BIS value of 55(group H, n=36) and BIS value of 45(group L, n=37).Intravenous blood samples were collected immediately before surgery (T1), 2h after surgery (T2), 24h after surgery (T3) and 72h after surgery (T4).IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ were determined by flow cytometry microsphere array.We compared operation duration, postoperative PACU stay time and postoperative hospitalization time between two groups. Results Compared with T1, IL-6 and IL-10 concentration in group H at T2, T3 and T4 significantly increased (P < 0.05), IL-4 and TNF-α in group H at T4 were significantly increased (P < 0.05), IL-2 and IFN-γ in group H at T2 and T4 were significantly increased (P < 0.05), the concentration of IL-6 and IL-10 in group L at T2, T3 and T4 were increased (P < 0.05), IL-2 in group L at T4 was decreased (P < 0.05), and IFN-γ/IL-6 in two groups were decreased at T2, T3 and T4(P < 0.05).Compared with group L, IL-6 and IL-10 in group H were significantly increased at T2(P < 0.05), IFN-γ/IL-6 in group H was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), IL-2 and IL-10 in group H were significantly increased at T4(P < 0.05).Operation duration, postoperative PACU stay time and postoperative hospitalization time had no statistical significance between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The anesthesia and sedation depth of BIS-guided closed-loop target-controlled infusion set at 45 is better than 55 in maintaining Th1/Th2 balance in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, but it has no obvious effect on long-term prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of radical image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) on the target dose in cervical cancer and investigate the appropriate application mode.Methods:Twenty patients with cervical cancer treated with helical tomotherapy (HT) in Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from 2012 to 2016 were selected. A megavoltage CT (MVCT) scan was performed before each treatment. The obtained MVCT images were used for dose parameter in the adaptive module of HT to obtain the actual dose (Plan 1) and the non-image-guided dose parameter was simulated (Plan 2). Each single dose distribution and the corresponding fused CT images were transferred to the software Mimvista 6.5 to obtain the total radiation dose parameter by dose superposition.Results:The motion of CTV, uterus and GTV in Plan 2 was significantly larger than that of Plan 1(all P<0.05), and the largest changes were seen in the ventrodorsal and uterine direction. The V 45Gy, V 50Gy, D 98% and D mean of CTV and uterus and V 50Gy of GTV in Plan 2 were significantly decreased compared with those in Plan 1(all P<0.05). The left-right motion of Plan 1 was negatively correlated with D 2% and D 98% of CTV and uterus (both P<0.05). The head-foot motion was negatively associated with V 45Gy and V 50Gy of GTV (both P<0.05). The ventrodorsal motion was negatively correlated with D 98% of uterus ( P<0.05). The left-right motion of Plan 2 was negatively correlated with D 2% of CTV and V 50Gy of uterus (both P<0.05). The head-foot motion was negatively associated with D 98% of CTV, and D 98%, D mean, V 45Gy and V 50Gy of uterus (all P<0.05). The ventrodorsal motion was negatively correlated with D 98% of CTV, D 98%, D mean, V 45Gy and V 50Gy of uterus, and D mean and V 45Gy of GTV (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In intensity-modulated radiotherapy for cervical cancer, the uterine body displacement is large and the low CTV area is mainly located in the uterine body. IGRT can significantly reduce the dosimetric deviation induced by organ movement.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes in volume and the planning volume of the bladder and rectum during helical tomotherapy (HT) treatment for cervical cancer,and to evaluate the impacts of bladder and rectum filling on their dosimetric parameters.Methods Twenty patients with cervical cancer who received HT in our hospital from 2012 to 2016 were enrolled as subjects.Before treatment,megavolt computed tomography (MVCT) and registration of planning CT images were preformed to recalculate the dose distribution,delineate the target volume,and measure the volume and position of the bladder and the rectum.Each MVCT image and the corresponding single dose were obtained by dose reconstruction using the Planned Adaptive module in HT planning workstation.The fused MVCT images and the corresponding single dose for each MVCT were loaded to MIM Maestro software 6.0 for dose stacking.The obtained total radiation dose was compared with that obtained by kilovolt CT.Between-group comparison was made by paired t-test or analysis of variance.Results If the volume change in the bladder was more than 400 ml or the rate of volume change was higher than 60％,the displacements of the bladder centroid toward the foot and dorsal sides were significantly increased;the Dmean and V50 were significantly increased (P＜0.05).If the volume change in the rectum was more than 30 ml or the rate of volume change was higher than 30％,the displacements of the rectum centroid toward the head and ventral sides were significantly increased;the V45 and V50 for the rectum were significantly increased (P＜0.05).Conclusions Although the bladder filling status has little effect on the radiation dose to the bladder,the volume change or the rate of volume change should be no more than 400 ml or 60％,respectively.Moderately filled bladder is recommended for positioning and treatment,which achieves satisfactory repeatability of the treatment.A volume change of more than 30 ml or a rate of volume change of higher than 30％ can result in an increase in the dose to the rectum.Empty rectum can effectively reduce the dose to the rectum.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the impact of parotid's position and volume changing on radiation dose for head and neck cancer treated with TomoTherapy.Methods Totally 12 patients with head and neck cancer were treated with TomoTherapy.Before the treatment,the dose distribution was recalculated with MVCT images,which would obtain the parameters of position,volume and actual radiation dose for parotids.Results The volume of parotids in Plan2 was significantly lower than in Plan1,and the percentage reduction was 29.06％ and 31.78％ for left and right parotid,respectively (Z =6.77,3.06,P ＜ 0.05).Distance between the COM (center of mass) of parotids and the midline of body was significantly smaller in Plan2 than in Plan1,and the percentage reduction was 6.72％ and 6.19％ (t =5.14,5.80,P ＜ 0.05) at left and right side,respectively.Average dose and V26 for both parotids were higher than those in Plan1,increasing by an average of 37.74％,25.08％ (Z =-6.03,-5.31,P ＜ 0.05) for left parotid and 30.45％,19.33％ (Z =-5.43,-3.26,P ＜0.05) for right parotid,respectively.Conclusions The actual radiation dose to parotids was significantly increased during the radiation therapy for patients with head and neck cancer.There was a linear correlation between the decrease of distance between the COM of parotids and the midline of body and the percentage increase of parotids' radiation dose.No correlation between the reduction of parotids' volume and dose to parotids.In order to reduce the parotids' radiation dose,modification of treatment plan at the appropriate time is essential.
