ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the signaling transduction mechanisms of inhibiting effect of radiation on vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC).Methods Cell culture in vitro and semi quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR) were used to observe the dynamic change of VSMC focal adhesion kinase(FAK) on the mRNA expression level and result of the control group as compared to those of the irradiation ones at 2.5,10,15,20 Gy.Results Dose of 2～20?Gy irradiation down regulated the expression of FAK mRNA. At hour 48 after 2～20?Gy irradiation,the FAK mRNA expressions were all less than the control ones(F=364.21,P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the result of radiotherapy for primary cardiac neoplasm.Methods A patients with primary malignant mucinous Schwannoma in th left ventriclular wall had been treated by conservative surgery. He,then,received fast neutron radiotherapy one year after wards. Radiotherapy was given through opposing anterior and posterior fields of 7.8 cm?7.8 cm. The total radiation dose was 1?004.95 ncGy with 11 fractions of 100 ncGy in 48 days.Results The function of the patient's heart recovered after treatment. The patients has been followed for 5 years without evidence of recurrence or distance metastased. Conclusion Fast neutron radiotherapy is effective in the treatment of primary cardiac neoplasms by surgery combined with postoperative radiotherapy. It could improve the prognosis of patients with primary cardiac neoplasms.
ABSTRACT
This paper reports the sensitizing effect of Hematoporphyrin Derivative (HPD) to Radiotherapy (RT) and long survival rates of 28 patients were treated by HPD 5mg/kg iv+D T31Gy/10f/12d+Surgery with squamous cell carcinoma in head and neck. The result was compared with 33 patients who received routine preoperative radiotherapy D T40Gy/20f/26d without HPD.The total HPD group were 44.4%(13/28) of this patients failed to evidence of living tumour cell within surgical specimens. 59.09%(13/22) of patients with the tumour diameter of 4cm in HPD group. The control group was 9.1% only (P
