The study in the mobility of lung tumors and impact factors / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

Objective To investigate the mobility of the lung tumors in order to guide the margin that CTV is to be expanded to PTV during stereotaetic radiotherapy for lung tumors.Methods Eighty-three lung tumom ineluded,in which 7 invaded the chest wall.1-2 gold marker(s)was/were implanted into or nearby the tumor.The motion of lung tumors in x(right-left),y(superior-inferior)and:(anterior-posterior)directions were measured via X-ray simulator system.One week later,1.25 mm thick of 16-slice spiral CT lung scan were taken.Apex,middle,and bottom of the lung were classified according to anatomic boderlines.Results No significant difference was detected among movements of apex,middle and bottom of the lung lesions in x axis direction((1.6±0.8),(2.6±1.1),(2.8±1.7)mm,respectively(F=1.76,P=0.179))and,y axis direction((2.0±1.3),(4.3±2.8),(4.0±2.0)mm,respectively(F=2.06,P=0.135))in 76 lesions of 63 patients.Significant differences were detected in:axis((2.7±0.8),(7.3±3.6),(12.0±5.3)mm(F=16.33,P=0.000)).The mobilities of the 7 lesions of 7 patients invading the chest wall were very small in all directions(0.9±0.7,0.7±0.7.and 2.0±0.6 mm,respectively).Motion amplitude did not correlate with the sex,age,height,weight and FEV1/FVC(r=-0.001-0.136.all P>0.05).Conclusions Motion amplitude of lung tumor due to breathing is associated with tumor loeation and status of chest wall invoivement.Identification of the mobile rules and the influencing factors is important for the internal margin set-up in lung tumor radiotherapy.

On health information in America and its revelation / 中华医院管理杂志

The US federal government regards health information technology (HIT) as an important action to stimulate growth of the health information economy.To implement HIT,the federal government proposed a tiered plan from organization guarantee,institutional innovation,HIT system design to economy stimulating mechanism,and to health care providers as well.In view of China's HIT development,it is proposed that HIT must proceed with healthcare reform in parallel.Stage-setup by the government,competition among enterprises,and active role of medical service providers constitute fundamental guarantee to ensure HIT go on wheels.Electronic health records of individuals should play key roles in promoting pragmatic and shared medicine health care information system.
