ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of oxaliplatin on the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), as well as the association of oxaliplatin with microRNA-30a-5p and autophagy. MethodsHSC-LX2 cells were cultured and divided into groups according to the following three protocols: control group, PDGF treatment group, oxaliplatin treatment group, oxaliplatin+PDGF treatment group; control group, microRNA-30a-5p transfection group, PDGF treatment group, microRNA-30a-5p transfection+PDGF treatment group; control group, 3-MA group, microRNA-30a-5p inhibitor group, microRNA-30a-5p inhibitor+3-MA group. Western Blot was used to measure the expression of HSC activation-related proteins (Collagen-I and alpha-smooth muscle actin [α- SMA]) and HSC autophagy-related proteins (Beclin-1, P62, and LC3B); LysoTracker staining and immunofluorescence assay were used to measure the expression of LC3B autophagosomes; RT-PCR was used to measure the expression level of microRNA-30a-5p; bioinformatics techniques were used to predict the potential targets of microRNA-30a-5p in HSCs. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsAfter the cells were treated with oxaliplatin, RT-PCR results showed that the oxaliplatin treatment group had a significantly higher expression level of microRNA-30a-5p than the control group (P<0.01); Western Blot showed that the oxaliplatin treatment group had significant reductions in the expression levels of the HSC activation-related proteins α-SMA and Collagen-‍Ⅰ and the autophagy-related proteins Beclin 1 and LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ (all P<0.001); immunofluorescence assay showed that the oxaliplatin treatment group had a significantly lower number of autophagosomes than the control group (P<0.05). After HSC-LX2 cells were transfected with microRNA-30a-5p mimic, compared with the control group, the microRNA-30a-5p mimic group had significant reductions in the expression levels of the autophagy-related proteins Beclin 1 and LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ (P<0.05) and the HSC activation-related protein Collagen-‍‍Ⅰ (P<0.001); after HSC-LX2 cells were transfected with microRNA-30a-5p inhibitor, Western Blot showed that compared with the control group, the microRNA-30a-5p inhibitor group had significant increases in the expression levels of the HSC activation-related proteins Collagen-‍Ⅰ and α-SMA and the autophagy-related protein Beclin 1 (t=2.41, 2.32, and 4.57, all P<0.05). Western Blot showed that compared with the control group, the microRNA-30a-5p inhibitor group had significant increases in the expression levels of the HSC autophagy-related protein Beclin 1 and the HSC activation-related protein α-SMA (both P<0.05), and after the treatment with the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA, there were no significant differences in the expression of these proteins between the two groups (P>0.05). The bioinformatics analysis using TargetScan, PicTar, and miRanda databases showed that the autophagy-related protein Beclin-1 might be a potential target of miRNA-30a-5p. ConclusionOxaliplatin can inhibit the activation of HSCs by upregulating the expression of microRNA-30a-5p, which provides new ideas and a new target for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

ABSTRACT

@#Abstract: The aim of this study was to prepare a high drug-carrying capacity micellar drug delivery system (CTD@Sol) of the polymer zebra tetracycline and to preliminarily investigate the feasibility of this drug delivery system for the treatment of breast cancer. Firstly, CTD@Sol was prepared using sol as the carrier material and CTD as the model drug, and its pharmacological properties such as appearance and morphology, particle size, potential and in vitro release were evaluated. The growth inhibitory and apoptotic effects of CTD@Sol on breast cancer (4T1) cells were investigated by MTT assay and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay; the uptake efficiency of 4T1 to this delivery system was investigated by flow cytometry; and the in vivo tissue distribution of the delivery system and the targeting of tumour tissues were investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technique. The results showed that CTD@Sol appeared as a light pale blue creamy white colour, with an average particle size of (159.73 ± 1.96) nm, a PDI of 0.198 ± 0.006, Zeta potential of –(47.60 ± 1.77) mV, an encapsulation rate of (90.29 ± 1.69)% and a drug loading capacity of (45.00 ± 0. 84)%; the in vitro release and haemolysis experiments showed that the drug release rate of CTD@Sol in acidic environment (pH 5.5) was significantly faster than that in neutral environment (pH 7.4), suggesting that the system is acid-sensitive and has good biosafety under endocytosed pH conditions. Cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and apoptosis experiments showed that CTD@Sol was more lethal to 4T1 cells, and the sol-gel polymer micelles as a drug delivery vehicle could significantly improve the cellular uptake efficiency of the drug; in vivo experiments showed that the delivery system had a significant targeting effect on tumour tissues.In conclusion, this study has successfully produced a CTD@Sol drug delivery system with high drug loading capacity (>45%), good pharmacological performance, strong targeting and biosafety, which has the potential to be used in the treatment of breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of different blood sodium levels on the condition and prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 150 cases of severe craniocerebral injury admitted to Zhangye People′s Hospital Affiliated to Hexi University from January 2020 to October 2022. According to the five blood sodium values measured on the first day after admission and during the peak period of brain edema (2-4 days after injury) and 7 days after injury, 102 cases of blood sodium metabolic disorder, 43 cases of low sodium group: average blood sodium value<135 mmol/L, 59 cases of high sodium group: average blood sodium value>145 mmol/L. The characteristics of sodium ion metabolism imbalance and the relationship between serum sodium level and Glasgow coma score (GCS), Glasgow prognosis score (GOS) and APACHE Ⅱ score at 2 weeks after injury were analyzed. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and comparison between groups was conducted using the t-test. count data were expressed as cases or percentages(%), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Chi-square test. Results:The imbalance rate of sodium metabolism in the acute phase after injury was 68.00%(102/150), including 57.84%(59/102) of hypernatremia and 42.16%(43/102) of hyponatremia. The imbalance rate of sodium metabolism at 7 days after injury was significantly higher than that immediately after injury. Hypernatremia occurred earlier than hyponatremia and lasted longer than hyponatremia ( P<0.05). There was no correlation between the low sodium group and the scores of GCS ( R=0.523), GOS ( R=0.367), APACHE Ⅱ ( R=-0.453) ( P>0.05), but the scores of GCS ( R=-0.448) and GOS ( R=-0.486) were negatively correlated with the blood sodium level of the high sodium group ( P<0.05), and the high sodium group was positively correlated with the scores of APACHE Ⅱ ( R=0.477, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with severe craniocerebral injury are often accompanied by blood sodium disorder. Hyponatremia can be corrected in a short time and has no effect on the patient′s condition and prognosis. However, hypernatremia seriously affects the recovery of consciousness, prognosis and quality of life of the injured.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of 3D printed individualised prosthesis in treating bone and joint defects in upper limbs remained after earlier microsurgical repairs.Methods:From June 2019 to September 2021, 12 patients were treated in the Institute of Orthopaedic Trauma of PLA, the 80th Group Army Hospital for bone and joint defects in upper limb that had been remained after earlier repairs with soft tissue flaps. The defects were: 1 in completely severed wrist, 2 defects of digit metacarpal bone, 4 defects of interphalangeal joint, 4 defects of bones in radiocarpal joint and 1 defect of lunate bone. The area of soft tissue defect ranged from 1.5 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×18.0 cm, and the length of bone defects ranged from 2.5 to 8.5(average 3.64) cm. For incompletely severed and completely severed limbs, replantation of severed limbs (digits) were performed in the primary surgery and the repair of soft tissue defects were performed in the second stage surgery. The remaining defects of bone and joint were reconstructed by 3D printed individualised prostheses in the third stage surgery. Finger soft tissue defects were covered with a local flap in the primary surgery, and bone and joint defects were reconstructed with a 3D printed prosthesis in the second surgery. Finger soft tissue defects were covered with a local flap in the first phase, and bone and joint defects were reconstructed with a 3D printed prosthesis in the second phase. After the surgery, the bone integration between the broken end of the bone joint defect and the prosthesis was determined based on the X-ray results and the Paley fracture healing score standard. Simultaneously measured the Total Active Motion(TAM) of the forearm and hand joints. At 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after hospital discharge. Follow-up X-ray examinations were taken followed by examinations on the recovery of soft tissues and bones. The upper limb function was graded according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association.Results:Postoperative follow-up at outpatient clinic lasted for 6 to 26 months, with an average of 11.5 months. All flaps were free from necrosis and infection, also there was no infection in bones and joints. According to the Paley fracture healing scale, 10 patients were in excellent and 2 in good. In addition, according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, 5 patients achieved upper limb function in excellent, 5 in good and 2 in fair. The ranges of motion of the affected wrists were 30°-42°(average 37.3°) for the implanted prostheses of distal end of radius and the radial shaft. Wrist flexion 40° to 55°(average 43.5°). The range of motion of finger and wrist was 60° to 70°(average 65.7°) with a metacarpal and phalangeal bone prosthesis.Conclusion:3D printed individually customised prostheses are safe, accurate and effective in repair of the remained bone and joint defects in upper limbs after primary and early stages of microsurgical flap repairs. It can effectively restore anatomical structures of bone and joint in upper limbs.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of a new teaching mode, which includes bridge-in, outcome, pre-test, participation, post-test and summary (BOPPPS), on the online teaching of radiobiology related knowledge for cancer radiotherapy practitioners.Methods:Taking the cell survival curve, cell cycle and radiosensitivity as examples, the radiotherapy practitioners in multiple university-affiliated hospitals were organized to carry out a multicenter prospective randomized control study. All practitioners were randomly divided into BOPPPS group and control group. The courses for BOPPPS group were designed as an online classroom, consisting of pre-class preparation, online teaching and post-class stages. The online teaching stage included video viewing, basic knowledge learning, literature discussion, group discussion and others. The control group employed the traditional teaching mode. The χ2 test was used to compare the consistency of general conditions between the two groups, and nonparametric test was used to compare the differences in scores between two or more groups. Results:The score of the pre-class test was 58.56 ± 0.99. Post-class average score for BOPPPS group was 85.48±0.85 and for control group 77.79±1.10, with the former being higher 7.69 ( Z=5.31, P<0.001) than the latter. The average answer time was (296.62±15.40) s for BOPPPS group and (386.41±21.27) s for control group, with the former being shorter 89.79 s ( Z=3.34, P=0.001) than latter. Subgroup analysis shown that the scores of BOPPPS group were significantly rising, regardless of whether or not the students had studied radiobiology courses. Among the students who have not studied these courses, the scores were rising greatly. Moreover, From the analysis of different positions, it was found that both the scores of BOPPPS group and control group have risen, especially for doctors, deputy chief doctors, physicists and technicians. There were also statistically differences between different degrees, with significantly rise in scores for undergraduate and doctoral students ( Z=3.64, 4.18, P<0.001). Conclusions:The flexible application of BOPPPS teaching mode to the online education of such boring disciplines, like radiobiology, is of great significance to raise the theoretical basis of radiotherapy practitioners.

ABSTRACT

Objective:Partial stereotactic ablative boost radiotherapy(P-SABR)is a method to deliver SABR boost to the gross tumor boost volume(GTVb), followed by conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to the whole tumor area(GTV). GTVb is the max volume receiving SABR while ensuring the critical organ-at-risk(OAR)falloff to 3 GyE/f. We investigated the potential advantage of proton therapy in treating bulky non-small cell lung cancer(the tumor length greater than 8 cm).Methods:Nine patients with bulky NSCLC treated with photon P-SABR in our institute were selected. For the treatment planning of proton therapy, the GTVb target area was gradually outwardly expanded based on the photon GTVb target area until the dose to critical OARs reached 3 GyE/f. The GTV and CTV areas remained the same as photon plan. A proton intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(proton-IMPT), a photon intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(photon-IMRT)and a photon volumetric modulated arc therapy(photon-VMAT)were created for each patient, respectively. The dosimetric parameters of different treatment plans were compared.Results:The volume ratio of GTVb-photon and GTVb-proton to GTV was(25.4±13.4)% and(69.7±30.0)%,respectively( P<0.001). In photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT, and proton-IMPT plan groups, the mean dose of CTV was(76.1±4.9)Gy, (78.2±3.6)Gy, and(84.7±4.9)Gy, respectively; the ratio of tumor volume with Biologic Effective Dose(BED)≥ 90 Gy to GTV volume was(70.7±21.7)%, (76.8±22.1)%,and(97.9±4.0)%,respectively. The actual dose and BED to the tumor area of the proton-IMPT plan group were significantly higher than those of the photon plan group(both P<0.05). Besides, the OARs dose was significantly decreased in the proton-IMPT group, with(49.2±22.0)%, (56.8±19.0)% and(16.1±6.3)% of the whole lung V5 for photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT and proton-IMPT, respectively(all P<0.001). Conclusions:Larger GTV boost target volume, higher BED and reduced OARs dose can be achieved in proton plans compared with photon plans. Proton P-SABR is expected to further improve the local control rate of bulky NSCLC with fewer adverse effects.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To understand the HIV infection status in male outpatients in sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in Tianjin from 2016 to 2020. Methods: According to the sentinel surveillance protocol, continuous cross-sectional studies were conducted between April and June during 2016-2020 to collect the information about the awareness of AIDS related knowledge, related sex behaviors, HIV infection, syphilis prevalence and HCV infection of male STD outpatients in Tianjin with a sample seize of 400 in each sentinel clinic. Results: From 2016 to 2020, a total of 4 000 male STD outpatients were surveyed. The HIV positive rate increased from 1.13% (9/800) to 2.25% (18/800) (trend χ2=14.22, P<0.001), the positive rate of syphilis increased from 9.38% (75/800) to 13.00% (104/800) (trend χ2=7.30, P=0.007) in this population during this period. The overall HCV positive rate was 0.45% (18/4 000). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with those who were unmarried, had registered residence in Tianjin, had no temporary sexual behavior in the past 3 months, had no anal sex and had negative syphilis test result, the risk factors of HIV infection in the male STD outpatients included cohabitation (aOR=7.53, 95%CI:2.13-26.62), being from other provinces (aOR=3.64,95%CI:1.58-8.38), having temporary sexual behavior in the past 3 months (aOR=2.24,95%CI:1.03-4.89), having homosexual anal sex (aOR=85.99,95%CI:38.76-190.74) and suffering from syphilis (aOR=6.06,95%CI:3.18-11.56). Conclusion: The detection rates of HIV infection and syphilis in male STD outpatients in Tianjin showed upward trends from 2016 to 2020. Having temporary sexual behavior and anal sex, and suffering from syphilis were the main risk factors of HIV infection in male STD outpatients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the risk factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhotic ascites, and to establish a new model for predicting the development of SBP. Methods A total of 215 patients who were diagnosed with cirrhotic ascites in Hebei General Hospital from September 2016 to September 2020 were enrolled, and according to the presence or absence of SBP, they were divided into SBP group with 55 patients and non-SBP group with 160 patients. Related clinical data were collected and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, MELD combined with serum sodium concentration (MELD-Na) score, and Child-Pugh score were calculated. The t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen out independent risk factors, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the performance of ALBI score, procalcitonin (PCT), polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) count in ascites, and the ALBI-PMN-PCT combined model in the diagnosis of SBP. Results Compared with the SBP group, the non-SBP group had a significantly higher concentration of Na + ( Z =-3.414, P =0.001) and significantly lower total bilirubin ( Z =-2.720, P =0.007), creatinine ( Z =-1.994, P =0.046), urea nitrogen ( Z =-2.440, P =0.015), C-reactive protein ( Z =-9.137, P 0.272 had an increased risk of developing SBP. Conclusion The ALBI-PMN-PCT combined model has a high value in predicting the onset of SBP in patients with cirrhotic ascites.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the amplitude of normal kidney motion in the 3D direction and its influencing factors under free-breathing condition.Methods:Clinical data of 28 patients with a KPS score≥80 who received 4D CT scan from March 2018 to March 2019 were collected. All patients were diagnosed with liver, pancreatic or lung tumors. The kidney was outlined and the geometric center and 3D coordinate values were recorded. The motion of bilateral kidneys in each direction and the 3D direction was calculated. The volume of kidney and surrounding organs, age, sex, height and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Clinical data were statistically compared by t-test or nonparametric test. Results:The motion of the left and right kidneys in the the sup-inf (SI) direction were the largest up to (8.39±3.18) mm and (7.71±3.55) mm. The motion amplitudes of bilateral kidneys in male patients were significantly larger than those of the female counterparts in the left-right (LR), SI and 3D directions (all P<0.05). The motion amplitudes of bilateral kidneys in patients taller than 165 cm were significantly larger than those of their counterparts with a height of ≤165 cm (all P<0.05). Patients with a BMI≥25 kg/m 2 had significantly larger motion amplitudes of the left kidney in the LR and ant-post (AP) directions compared with those of normal weight counterparts (all P<0.05). The motion amplitude of the left kidney in the AP direction in patients with the left kidney volume of >180 cm 3 was significantly larger than that of patients with smaller left kidney volume ( P=0.014). Age was not significantly associated with kidney motion in each direction ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Kidney motion mainly occurs in the SI direction. The kidney motion amplitudes in male and taller patients are larger. Special attention should be paid to the use of breath motion control device to decrease the normal tissue damage.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate changes in the estimate glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)with aging and the risk factors.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed based on people receiving physical examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to January 2018.Subjects were divided into seven subgroups according to age: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and ≥80 years old.eGFR was estimated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPIScr)equation.Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between eGFR and the influencing variables.The chi-square test was used to compare the incidences of eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73m -2in different age groups. Results:A total of 33 824 participants were included in this study.There was a negative linear eGFR-age correlation in the subjects.The mean annual rate of decline in eGFR was 0.83 ml·min -1·1.73m -2.Furthermore, the decline was steady and accelerated from the third and seventh decade onward( F=9.51, 5.37, both P=0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that aging was the most prominent factor( β=-0.604, -0.534, both P=0.000), followed by serum uric acid(BUA)( β=-0.270, -0.280, both P=0.000), fasting blood-glucose(FBG)( β=-0.064, -0.046, both P=0.000), systolic blood pressure(SBP)( β=-0.015, -0.028, both P<0.05), and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)( β=-0.010, -0.026, both P<0.05). In non-elderly subjects, eGFR was found to have negative associations with body mass index(BMI)and albumin(ALB)( β=-0.028, -0.047, all P=0.000). However, in the elderly, eGFR was positively associated with ALB( β=0.022, P=0.031). eGFR showed no statistically significant correlation with BMI, TC and LDL-C.The prevalence of eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73m -2increased with age, at 1.55%(523/33 824)for all subjects, of whom 73.80%(386/523)were aged over 60.The incidence obviously increased from 0.22%(14/6 453)for aged 18-29 to 22.57%(214/948)for aged 80 and above( χ2=2433.71, P=0.000). Conclusions:eGFR decreases significantly with age.The incidence of eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73m -2in the elderly is high; eGFR is significantly correlated with BUA, FBG, SBP, DBP, and ALB in the elderly.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare aging models for renal tubular epithelial cells induced by different drugs.Methods:Different concentrations of D-galactose(D-gal), hydrogen peroxide(H 2O 2)and cisplatin(CDDP)were administered to the human proximal tubular epithelial cell line(HK2). Cell activity and the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)were measured by the CCK-8 assay; cell senescence was assessed by senescence-related β-galactosidase staining(SA-β-gal); senescence-related gene expression was detected by Western blotting; cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry.Pathological changes in renal tubules and interstitial tissues were examined in D-gal-induced and naturally aging mice using HE staining, and p16 expression was detected using immunohistochemistry. Results:CCK-8 assay results showed that HK2 cell activity was inhibited treatment with each of the three compounds.The 48-hour IC50 values were(365.8±9.7)mmol/L for D-gal, (385.4±20.8)μmol/L for H 2O 2 and(8.4±1.6)μmol/L for CDDP.Light microscopic observation revealed slowed growth of HK2 cells in the three groups.The rate of SA-β-gal-positive cells increased, compared with the control group( P<0.05). Treatment resulted in an increase in G0/G1 phase cells by(22.9±1.0)% in the 400 mmol/L D-gal group and by(13.0±4.4)% in the 400 μmol/L H 2O 2 group, while G2/M phase cells increased by(14.4±1.9)%( t=48.07, 6.40, 16.53, P<0.05)in the 8 μmol/L CDDP group, compared with the control group.Also, compared with the control group, HK2 cell apoptosis increased by(50.3±1.0)% in the 400 μmol/L H 2O 2 group and by(41.9±2.0)% in the 8 μmol/L CDDP group, which was significantly higher than(7.7±0.4)% in the 400 mmol/L D-gal group( t=77.47, 33.73, 28.35, all P<0.05). Western blotting results indicated that the expression of CCND1 was down-regulated after any of the three drugs reached a certain concentration.The expression of p16 in the D-gal group was up-regulated( F=92.88, P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the expression of p16 after H 2O 2 or CDDP treatment.Mice of the D-gal model showed a decline in renal tubular cells, thickened basement membrane, widened interstitial spaces and increased expression of p16 in renal tubules similar to those observed in naturally aging mice. Conclusions:For HK2 cell senescence models induced by three different drugs, the renal tubular epithelial cell senescence model induced by D-gal is relatively close to the natural senescence model.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for all metastases in patients with metachronous oligo-metastatic prostate cancer after radical treatment.Methods:From October 2011 to February 2021, 41 patients with prostate cancer with less than 5 metastases after radical treatment were retrospectively analyzed in a single center. The median age at radiotherapy was 68 (57-81) years. Forty patients (98%) received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). There were 28 patients in the hormone sensitive (HSPC) group and 13 patients in the hormone resistant (CRPC) group. The median initial PSA was 24.4 (7.4-399.0) ng/ml. Tumor stage: T 2 stage 11 patients, T 3 stage 27 patients, T 4 stage 3 patients.30 patients were in N 0 stage and 11 patients in N 1 stage. Gleason score was 7 in 12 patients, 8 in 9 patients, 9 in 18 patients, and 10 in 2 patients.33 patients were treated with surgery, and 8 patients were treated with radiotherapy. The time span from diagnosis to metastasis was 3.1 (0.2-1.8) years. Conventional imaging examination (CT/ MRI/bone scan) before radiotherapy was used in 7 patients, and PSMA PET/CT examination was used in 34 patients.The median PSA before radiotherapy was 1.3(0.1-33.8) ng/ml. There were 62 metastases in 41 patients, including 1 lesion in 28 patients, 2 lesions in 9 patients, 3 lesions in 2 patients, and 5 lesions in 2 patients. Fifty-four patients had bone metastases and eight had retroperitoneal lymph node metastases. Twenty-two bone metastases were located in the pelvis, 18 in the vertebral body, 12 in the ribs, one in the femur and one in the sternum.The median metastatic volume was 5.8(0.2-81.7) cm 3.Daily image-guided rotational intensity modulated radiotherapy was used to cover all metastases.Dose segmentation modes include 37.5Gy/7.5Gy/5F, 60Gy/3Gy/20F, 65-70Gy/2.6-2.8Gy/25F.The median biological effective dose (BED 3) was 120 (67-147) Gy. The primary endpoint was biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS), the secondary endpoints were acute and late toxic side effects, local relapse-free survival (LPFS), and overall survival (OS). Results:The median follow-up time was 21 months (range 5-72 months). All patients completed radiotherapy, and 16 patients had grade 1 to 2 acute toxicity and side effects, and no grade 3 or above acute and late stage side effects. 1-year LPFS was 97.1%.The 1-year and 2-year BPFS were 77.5% and 59.2%, respectively. The median BPFS time was 29 months (range 13.9-44.2 months). Univariate analysis showed that the HSPC group ( P<0.001) and the group with total metastatic volume ≤ 5.8cm 3 ( P=0.010) had higher BPFS. The median BPFS time was 37 months in the retroperitoneal lymph node metastases subgroup and 17 months in the bone metastases subgroup ( P=0.141). In the HSPC group, the median BPFS was 30(22-38) months. After radiotherapy, PSA decreased in all 28 patients, and increased in 6 patients. The median BPFS was 12(4-18) months. In the CRPC group, the median BPFS was 4(0-8) months. PSA decreased in 10 patients (76.9%) after radiotherapy, and PSA decreased in 6 patients. The median BPFS was 5(3-28) months. Three patients’PSA did not decrease after radiotherapy, and they were treated with new endocrine therapy drugs, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other systemic therapy. Conclusions:For patients with metachronous metastases after radical treatment, full coverage radiotherapy has good safety and high local control rate. HSPC patients and patients with low tumor load could be recommended to receive radiotherapy for all metastatic lesions preferentially, and patients with only retroperitoneal lymph node metastases may have better prognosis after radiotherapy than patients with bone metastases.

ABSTRACT

Since 2008, we have carried out a systematic exploration of case-based PBL teaching model in clinical medical undergraduates. The questionnaire results show that the students are highly satisfied with the course setting and the teaching quality of teachers, and have a strong sense of gain in the cultivation of learning interest and the improvement of learning capacity. The analysis of the examination results in the past ten years also reveals that the excellent student rate of the class with case-based PBL seminars have been significantly improved. The retrospective analysis also shows that the students' knowledge level, professional background, class size, and the curriculum system settings have significant influences on the teaching effect. Therefore, for students with different academic systems and majors, PBL teaching mode should be designed differently to achieve better teaching effect.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the treatment effect of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)/endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) extracellular matrix-based tissue engineering bone (ECM-TEB) in repair of femoral defects in rats.Methods:Bone marrow-derived MSC and EPC were isolated and cultured for functional identification, and planted on the nanocrystalline collagen-based artificial bone particles. After culturing for 14 days, the cells were lyophilized to obtain MSC/EPC ECM-TEB and MSC ECM-TEB. A scanning electron microscope was used to observe the morphology of MSC and EPC on the surface of the scaffold. The protein extracts of MSC ECM-TEBs (control group) and the protein extracts of MSC/EPC ECM-TEBs (experimental group) were added to the EPC culture system for migration test, scratch repair assay, and tube formation detection; and to the MSC culture system for alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase? (ALP) staining detection. The cell recruitment, angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation were observed. A total of 12 SD rats were selected to establish a femoral defect model. According to the random number table, the rats were divided into: (1) sham group: debridement treatment was performed only at the defect; (2) MSC ECM -TEB group: MSC ECM-TEB was implanted at the defect; (3) MSC/EPC ECM-TEB group: MSC/EPC ECM-TEB was implanted at the defect, with 4 rats per group. Two months later, micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) and Masson's tricolor staining were performed to observe the treatment effect of the bone defect. When the cells were stored at low temperature for three months after lyophilization, the different protein profile between MSC ECM-TEB and MSC/EPC ECM-TEB in vascularization was detected by isotope relative labeling and absolute quantification technology (iTRAQ). The gene ontology/Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome Technology (GO/ KEGG) function enrichment was used to analyze the key differences.Results:MSC and EPC grew well and formed a smooth cell layered structure on the surface of the scaffold. The number of cell migration, ratio of scratch repair, and length of the tube in experimental group were respective 121.6±8.3, (61.5±5.9)%, (11.3±0.6)mm, significantly increased compared with control group [85.0±6.7, (39.3±3.6)%, (5.9±0.4)mm] (all P<0.01). Alizarin red staining and ALP staining results showed that the proportion of calcium nodule mineralized area in experimental group increased significantly compared with control group [(38.8±3.3)%∶(49.9±3.0)%, (38.8±2.4)%∶(45.3±3.3)%] (all P<0.05). Base on the Micro-CT and Masson staining, bone defect healing was good in MSC/EPC ECM-TEB group, only a small amount of new bone was formed in MSC ECM-TEB group, and there was almost no new bone regenerated in sham group. Significant differences were found in bone volume/total volume, trabecular number and trabecular thickness among groups (all P<0.05), which were in line with Micro-CT and Masson staining results. The protein profile analysis showed that 83 angiogenesis-related factors in MSC/EPC ECM-TEB group were significantly up-regulated compared with MSC ECM-TEB group (fold change>2, P<0.05). GO/KEGG function enrichment analysis showed that MSC/EPC ECM-TEB group had projecting ascendancy in "vascular development" and in "vascular smooth muscle contraction pathway" compared with MSC ECM-TEB group (both P<0.01). Conclusion:MSC/EPC ECM-TEB has advantages in cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and new bone formation compared with MSC ECM-TEB, and is a better construction strategy for repair of traumatic bone defect.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the dosimetric properties of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans for simulated treatment planning in patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) using stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR), in comparison with the volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT).Methods:A total of 25 gross target volume (GTV) of the apical, anterior, septal, inferior and lateral wall of the left ventricle (LV) were delineated on the CT simulation images of 5 patients with complete data. An additional 5 mm GTV margin was added to the internal target volume (ITV), and an additional 3 mm ITV margin was added to the planning target volume (PTV). VMAT and IMPT plans were designed in each target area. Dose prescription was 25 Gy (RBE) in a single fraction. The dosimetric differences of ITV and organ at risk (OAR) were compared between VMAT and IMPT.Results:The median volume of ITV was 45.40 cm 3(26.72-67.59 cm 3). All plans had adequate target coverage(V 95%Rx≥99%). Compared with the VMAT plans, IMPT reduced the D mean of whole heart, pericardium and non-target cardiac tissues (relative difference) by 44.52%, 44.91% and 60.16%, respectively, which also reduced D 0.03 cm 3 of the left anterior descending artery by 17.58%( P<0.05). After stratified analysis according to the lesion sites, IMPT could still reduce the dose of most OAR. However, the D 0.03 cm 3 of LAD and LCX for the lesions in the anterior wall of LV, the D 0.03 cm 3 of LCX in the inferior wall and D 0.03 cm 3 of LAD in the apical wall did not significantly differ (both P>0.05). Conclusions:Both VMAT and IMPT plans can meet the clinical dosimetric requirements when SABR is simulated in patients with VT. However, IMPT can lower the dose of normal heart tissues, which has the potential benefit of reducing the risk of complications, such as ischemic heart disease, pericarditis/pericardial effusion, etc.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of hemoglobin changes in prostate cancer patients during radiotherapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and analyze the relationship between the hemoglobin changes and long-term prognosis.Methods:The changes of hemoglobin levels in 145 prostate cancer patients treated with radiotherapy combined with ADT in Department of Radiation Oncology of Peking University First Hospital from November 2011 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was employed for conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist was utilized for endocrine therapy.Results:The median hemoglobin reduction during radiotherapy combined with ADT was 8 g/L. The higher the baseline level of hemoglobin, pelvic irradiation and GS score before radiotherapy, the more obvious the decrease of hemoglobin during treatment (all P<0.001). Pelvic radiotherapy significantly increased the decline tendency of hemoglobin throughout the combined treatment (86.8% vs. 72.8%, P=0.05). The duration of endocrine therapy before radiotherapy and the hemoglobin changes during endocrine therapy alone were not significantly correlated with the degree of hemoglobin decline during subsequent radiotherapy ( P=0.53 and 0.837). The biochemical failure-free survival did not significantly differ between patients with significant and mild hemoglobin reduction ( P=0.686). Conclusions:The baseline level of hemoglobin before radiotherapy is negatively correlated with the decrease of hemoglobin during combined therapy. Pelvic radiotherapy is positively correlated with hemoglobin reduction during combined therapy. Hemoglobin reduction during combined therapy is not associated with the long-term biochemical failure-free survival of patients.
