ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo assess the safety of celiac plexus brachytherapy with 125Ⅰseeds placementguided by endoscopic ultrasound in porcine model, and to evaluate its effect on surrounding vessels and organs.MethodsFourteen pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups to accept celiac plexus block by bilateral injection with 2 non-radioactive seeds in group A (n=4),0.4 mCi seeds in Group B (n=4),0.8 mCi seeds in Group C (n=4) and one lateral injection with 5 ml dehydrated alcohol,respectively.Abdominal X-ray,Enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction of blood vessels were performed to confirm the proper placement of the seeds in group A,B and C.Routine blood test,liver and renal function,serum amylase and CD4+/CD8+ratio were examined preoperatively and at the end of the follow-up in all groups.Animals were euthanized in batch to observe the position of the implanted seeds.Tissues and organs around the seeds were dissected for pathological examination.ResultsThe procedure succeeded in 12 pigs (85.7%)and failed in two others (1 in group A,and 1 in C) due to inappropriate position.Rescue procedures were performed on another day and succeeded.No significant difference was found in routine blood test,liver and renal func-tion,serum amylase and CD4+/CD8+ratio,except WBC elevation and small abcesses were found 7 days after the procedure in one pig of group C.In the radiated area, there was degeneration,necrosis and mild in-flammation at the outer membrane of blood vessels,with fibrosis around,which was positively correlated with the radiation dosage and duration.There was no change at the muscular layer and the innermost membrane of blood vessels,and no thrombosis was found.In group D,the celiac trunk became slightly brown and wider with obvious hemorrhage,necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the outer membrane of blood vessles and connective tissues around.ConclusionBrachytherapy has little negative effect on the organs a-round. It does not harm immunnity but induces lesions in blood vessels. Compared with dehydrated alcohol,this negative effect is limited.Therefore,celiac plexus brachytherapy with125Ⅰseeds guided by endoscopic ultrasound is safe.
