Dosimetric comparison of volumetric modulated arc therapy plans with flattening filter and flattening filter-free for whole-breast radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery for left breast cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To compare the dosimetric difference between volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans with flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) for whole-breast radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery for left breast cancer.Methods:Twenty patients with left breast cancer who underwent breast conserving surgery in Xuzhou Central Hospital from August 2017 to August 2018 were selected by random number table method, and the CT data were obtained. Both FF-VMAT plan and FFF-VMAT plan were designed with ECLIPSE 10.0.4 treatment planning system (TPS) of American Varian company. The prescription dose of the planned target volume (PTV) was 50 Gy (2 Gy/time), and the local tumor bed was irradiated with 10 Gy/5 times. The dosimetric parameters of the two plans were compared.Results:The two plans of all patients met the prescription dose requirements. Compared with FF-VMAT plan, FFF-VMAT plan had better conformity (conformal index: 0.87±0.04 vs. 0.77±0.05) and homogeneity (homogeneity index: 7.36±0.88 vs. 10.89±3.00) (both P < 0.01); FFF-VMAT plan had lower average dose of heart [(7.73±1.44) Gy vs. (9.16±4.24) Gy] and contralateral lung [(3.61±0.74) Gy vs. (8.42±0.45) Gy] (both P < 0.01), FFF-VMAT plan had higher average dose of contralateral breast [(3.92±1.08) Gy vs. (2.02±1.42) Gy] ( P < 0.01), and V 2 Gy in the heart [(79.27±1.18)% vs. (58.94±21.25)%] and V 5 Gy in the ipsilateral lung [(44.89±2.17)% vs.(37.86±8.33)%] (all P < 0.01). The monitor unit of the FF-VMAT plan was (973±89) MU, which was lower than that of the FFF-VMAT plan [(1 356±201) MU] ( P < 0.01). Conclusion:FFF-VMAT plan can effectively reduce the cardiac dose after breast conserving surgery for left breast cancer, but it increases the risk of organ damage at low dose area.

Effect of Ranae Oviductus on Follicular Development Based on PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of Ranae Oviductus (RO) on ovarian follicular development， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway， and pregnancy function in rats, and the estrogen-like mechanism of OR. Method:Seventy female Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal group， a progynova+ luteohormone group (1 mg·kg^-1+40 mg·kg^-1), a clomiphene group (10 mg·kg^-1), and high-dose(400 mg·kg^-1) and low-dose(200 mg·kg^-1) RO groups. Rats were administered correspondingly by gavage for eight weeks. After seven weeks of intragastric administration, the estrus cycle of all rats was measured. After eight weeks of intragastric administration， four rats from each group were selected to give birth. For other rats, blood was collected on the day of estrus， and the serum levels of estradiol (E₂)，progesterone (P)， testosterone (T)， follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)， and luteotropic hormone (LH) were detected. Uterus and ovaries were extracted and weighed to calculate organ index. One ovary was made into pathological sections, and the follicles at different developmental stages and corpus luteum were counted. Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）and Western blot were performed on the other ovary to detect mRNA and protein changes in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Forty female Kunming mice were randomly divided into a normal group and RO groups (400 mg·kg^-1) with 14 days， 28 days， and 56 days of intervention. Mice in the RO groups were raised with male mice in cages after intragastric administration of OR for 14， 28， and 56 days， respectively. After 18 days, the number of intrauterine fetuses on both sides and the number of stunted fetuses were counted. Result:After eight weeks of intragastric administration of OR， the rats showed decreased uterine index (<italic>P</italic><0.05)， declining serum LH (<italic>P</italic><0.05)， reduced luteum (<italic>P</italic><0.01)， dwindled primary follicles (<italic>P</italic><0.05)， and increased rate of follicle atresia (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Additionally， more luteal or interstitial glands degenerated into interstitial structures in the ovarian cortex in a short time. The mRNA expression levels of PI3K and Akt in the ovary were elevated (<italic>P</italic><0.01)， while the mRNA expression levels of mTOR and PTEN were reduced (<italic>P</italic><0.01). The phosphorylation level of Akt protein showed a downward trend without significant difference. For the rats， the number of fetuses was decreased (<italic>P</italic><0.05). The pregnancy rate of mice was decreased to varying degrees after administration of RO for different durations， with the lowest in the 14 day RO group， as low as 30%. After 28 days of intragastric administration of RO， the difference in left and right uterine pregnancy increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05). Conclusion:Long-term administration of RO can lead to premature ovarian failure by over-stimulating the ovary， which is similar to clomiphene. Short-term administration can result in decreased pregnancy rate， excessive ovulation on one side， and inhibition of ovulation on the other side. The influence on follicles needs further exploration.

Application of linac-based fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy in treatment of oligo brain metastases / 肿瘤研究与临床

Brain metastases are common in oncologic patients. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an effective treatment for oligo brain metastases. However, SRS is not suitable for large metastatic lesions. Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) is a new option for the treatment of brain metastases. It can deliver high doses of radiation to tumor while protecting the normal tissues and organs outside the irradiation field as much as possible and maintaining good local control rate of tumors. This article reviews the dose-response relationship and adverse reactions of FSRT with different fractionated dose schemes, and the progress of FSRT combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Electrochemical Dopamine Sensor Based on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes-Tungsten Oxide Nanocomposites / 分析化学

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes-tungsten oxide (MWCNTs-WOx) nanocomposites were fabricated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) through a simple electrodeposition method,in which WOx were fabricated on MWCNTs. The morphology and constitution were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Electrochemical characterization of modified electrode was done by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The cyclic voltammogram (CV)method was adopted to investigate the electrochemical behavior of dopamine (DA) on MWCNTs-WOx-modified glassy carbon electrode, and a new detection method for DA was developed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results showed that MWCNTs-WOx nanocomposites had obvious electrocatalytic effect on DA in phosphate buffer solution (pH=6.5). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the DA peak current demonstrated a good linear relationship with concentration in the range of 0.05-1.00 mmol/L, and the detection limit was 17 μmol/L(S/N=3). Effects of different experimental parameters on the response current of the modified electrode were investigated,and it was found that the prepared electrochemical sensor displayed good reproducibility,high selectivity and strong anti-interference ability. UA did not interfere with the detection of DA. A new electrochemical method for the quantitative determination of DA was established and successfully applied to the determination of dopamine hydrochloride injection samples.

Bone regeneration imaging after bone grafting using phase-contrast computed tomography with synchrotron radiation / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: With a clear distinction from traditional computed tomography (CT) imaging with information absorption, phase-contrast CT with synchronous radiation has implemented the microstructure imaging of soft tissues in organisms with an unprecedented imaging mechanism. OBJECTIVE: To explore the synchrotron radiation phase-contrast CT imaging technology in the bone regeneration imaging after bone grafting. METHODS: Four New Zealand white rabbits were used to make a metaphyseal defect model. Then, model rabbits were randomized into a group with calcium phosphate bone grafting and a group with Bio-Oss bone grafting in the defects. The specimens were imaged by the synchrotron radiation phase-contrast CT and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and sirius red 2 weeks after bone grafting. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Bio-Oss bone graft material group: Osteoid was observed not only around the graft material but also in the area far from the graft bone material as reticulate structure by the synchrotron radiation phase-contrast CT. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed a large amount of red osteoid tissues arranged as trabecular bone, and a large amount of osteoblasts with obvious osteogensis. Sirius red-stained pathological sections were largely stained yellow, and there were round or oval osteoblasts with strongly expressed type I collagen. (2) Calcium phosphate bone graft material group: There was no reticulate structure shown by the synchrotron radiation phase-contrast CT, and the creep of osteoid tissues was only around the bone graft. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed a large amount of red osteoid tissues, and sirius red-stained pathological sections were stained yellow and red. To conclude, the synchronous radiation phase-contrast CT can clearly display the regenerated structure of bone grafts.

Objective To investigate and compare the curative effect between delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting 12-24 hours from symptom onset and medical therapy on acute myocardial infarction patients presenting with ST-segment elevation (STEMI). Methods Using a prospective,open,parallel,controlled research approach,186 patients with STEMI were divided into delayed PCI group(n=89),which received PCI within 12-24 hours after STEMI and medical therapy group(n=97),which received medical therapy after STEMI. All patients were followed up 1-6 months with average follow-up (5.6 ± 1.4) months. Data of hospitalization period, the cardiac structures detected by echocardiography such as left atrial diameter (LAD), left ventricular diastolic diameter(LVDd),left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF,left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS),composite end point events and major adverse cardiac events(MACE)were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with medical therapy group, the hospitalization cycle was significantly shorter in delayed PCI group. Data of the LAD and LVDd were significantly decreased,but LVEF and LVFS were increased in delayed PCI group compared with those of medical therapy group at 30 d and 6-month follow-up. The incidence of MACE and composite end point events were significantly less in delayed PCI group than those of medical therapy group (P<0.05). Conclusion Delayed PCI treatment can decrease the time of hospital stay and decrease the incidence rates of MACE and composite end point events,and improve left ventricular function and prognosis of patients.

Eeffects of Coptis Chinensis on vasoconstrictive activity of isolated thoracic aorta of normoxic and chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxic rats / 中国应用生理学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of Coptis Chinensis on vasoconstrictive activity of isolated thoracic aorta rings of normoxic and chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxic (CIHH) rats, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normoxic group and CIHH group: the fonnrmer were not given any special treatment; the latter were exposed to hypoxia in a hypobaric chamber simulating 5000 m altitude (PB = 404 mmHg, PO2 = 84 mmHg, 11.1% O2), 6 hours daily for 28 days. The isolated thoracic aorta rings of rats were prepared and perfused in thermostat, and the effects of Coptis on vasoconstrictive activity of aorta rings were recorded, the mechanisms were investigated simultaneouly.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Coptis Chinensis significantly decreased NE and KC-induced vasoconstriction of normoxic and CIHH rats' isolated aortic rings, but the inhibitive effects had no obvious discrepancy between the two groups. The contractive amplitude had no marked change after the removal of endothelium. When calculated by Logit Loglinear analysis, IC50 of NE and KCl-induced contractive amplitude in normoxic group were respectively 2.99 g/L and 6.14 g/L, while they were 3.45 g/L and 5.81 g/L in CIHH group. The inhibitive effect of Coptis on vasoconstrictive activity of both groups could be partly decreased by Glibenclamide and nitro-L-arginine methyl ester; Indomethacin suppressed the effect on normoxic group as well. Also Coptis significantly inhibited NE-induced both intracellular and extracellular calciumion-depended vasoconstriction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Coptis Chinensis obviously relaxes isolated thoracic aorta rings of normoxic and CIHH rats, but the effects are endothelium-independent and have no marked discrepancy between the two groups. The mechanisms of the effects may be related to the opening of ATP-sensitive K+ channel, raise of nitric oxide concentration in both groups, and the increasing of PGI2 in normoxic group. Besides, Coptis may inhibit sarcoplasmic reticulum releasing Ca2+ and decrease the inflow of extracellular Ca2+ via cell membrane.</p>
