Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of the Yuying powder combined with the Huanglian Shangqing pill for the treatment of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) with cervical anterior pain as the main complaint, as well as its impact on serum pain factors and oxidative stress levels in patients.Methods:A prospective selection of 100 SAT patients with anterior cervical pain as the main complaint admitted to the Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to May 2022 was conducted. They were randomly divided into two groups, with 50 patients in each group. The control group was treated with sustained-release diclofenac sodium tablets, while the observation group was treated with external application of the Yuying powder and internal administration of the Huanglian Shangqing pill. After 2 weeks of continuous treatment, the analgesic efficacy and adverse drug reactions of both groups were observed. The analgesic onset time of two groups of anterior cervical pain was compared. Two simplified McGill pain questionnaires before and after treatment [the SF-MPQ scores, including Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Current Pain Intensity (PPI) ], were compared; the traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score, Serum Pain Factors levels [ tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α, interleukin-1 β(IL-1β), prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2), and nitric oxide (NO) ] and oxidative stress indicators [the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) ] were also compared. Results:The total effective rate of analgesia in the observation group [98.00%(49/50)] was significantly higher than that in the control group [82.00%(41/50)] ( P<0.05). The analgesic onset time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of various components (PRI, VAS, PPI) and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores in the two groups of SF-MPQ were significantly reduced compared to before treatment (all P<0.05); and the decrease was more significant in the observation group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TNF -α, IL-1β, PGE 2, and NO in both groups significantly decreased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05), and the levels of serum pain inducing factors in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, both groups showed a significant decrease in serum MDA content (all P<0.05), and a significant increase in serum SOD and GSH-Px levels (all P<0.05); And the improvement was more significant in the observation group (all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group [4.00%(2/50)] was lower than that in the control group [16.00%(8/50)] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall efficacy of external application of Yuying powder combined with oral administration of Huanglian Shangqing pill in the treatment of SAT with cervical anterior pain as the main complaint is definite, and its effect may be related to significantly downregulating the expression level of serum related pain inducing factors in patients and reducing the level of oxidative stress in the body.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective: To measure setup error of head and neck neoplasm in radiotherapy and discuss over effects of error on physical dose acting on target region and organs at risk of nasopharynx cancer [NPC] patients treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT]
Methods: A total of 152 patients who developed head and neck neoplasm and received IMRT were randomly selected. Through comparing digital portal image and digital reconstruction image, we measured setup error, calculated expanding margin from clinical target volume [CTV] to planning target volume [PTV] and analyzed whether there was rules between setup error and treatment time. Additionally, 20 cases of NPC were selected. Three-dimensional error was simulated in planning system. Dose distribution was recalculated and a series of dose parameters of target volume and OAR were analyzed
Results: Setup error in left-right, head-feet and ventral-dorsal direction was [-0.62 +/- 1.46] mm, [-0.41 +/- 1.54] mm and [-0.31 +/- 1.67] mm respectively. Regarding limit value, the maximum and minimum value in left right direction, head-feet direction and ventral-dorsal direction was 2.70 mm and -6.00 mm; 3.00 mm and -5.00 mm, 5.00 mm and -7.50 mm. Expanding margin from CTV to PTV was 2.26 mm, 1.88 mm and 1.97 mm in left-right direction, head-feet direction and ventral-dorsal direction
Conclusion: During IMRT, only when setup error is controlled below 3 mm can sharply reduce the damage caused by radiation to normal tissue; therefore, quality security and control of electronic portal imaging device need [EPID] to be improved
