ABSTRACT
To study the feasibility of ArcCheck verification system in dosimetric verification for stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) the stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) with flattening filter free (FFF) model. Methods: A total of 76 cases under SRT treatment plans were introduced into ArcCheck phantom and recalculated. Threshold criteria was set as (3%, 3 mm, 10%) or (2%, 2 mm, 10%). The calculated dose distribution and the measured dose distribution of ArcCheck phantom were compared by means of distance to agree (DTA) and Gamma analysis method respectively. Results: Based on the threshold criteria (3%, 3 mm, 10%), the relative and absolute mean pass rates of SRT treatment plans by DTA and Gamma analysis were greater than 95%. Based on the threshold criteria (2%, 2 mm, 10%), the relative and absolute mean pass rates of SRT treatment plan by DTA and Gamma analysis were about 90%. The dose pass rate of Gamma analysis method was slightly higher than that of DTA analysis method (P<0.001). Conclusion: The ArcCheck verification system is a rapid and accurate method for SRT dose verification, and discrepancies are found in different analysis methods.

Objective To study the effec of nursing intervention on the quality of life in convalescent schizophrenia patients. Method 80 patients with schizophrenia were divided into observed group (n=40) and control group (n=40).The patients in observe group received nursing intervention.Patients were evaluated by Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) and General Quality of Life Inventory (GQOLI) at the time of beginning the trial and after half of a year of the intervention respectively. Results After the nursing intervention,the PANSS scores in observe group are significant lower than those of control group (P
