Dose-rate scaling factor estimation of THOR BNCT test beam.

In 1998, an epithermal neutron test beam was designed and constructed at the Tsing Hua Open-Pool Reactor (THOR) for the purpose of preliminary dosimetric experiments in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). A new epithermal neutron beam was designed at this facility, and is currently under construction, with clinical trials targeted in late 2004. Depth dose-rate distributions for the THOR BNCT test beam have been measured by means of activation foil and dual ion chamber techniques. Neutron and structure-induced gamma spectra measured at the test beam exit were configured into a source function for the Monte Carlo-based treatment planning code NCTPlan. Dose-rate scaling factors (DRSFs) were determined to normalize computationally derived dose-rate distributions with experimental measurements in corresponding mathematical and physical phantoms, and to thus enable accurate treatment planning using the NCTPlan code. A similar approach will be implemented in characterizing the new THOR epithermal beam in preparation for clinical studies. This paper reports the in-phantom calculated and experimental dosimetry comparisons and derived DRSFs obtained with the THOR test beam.

目的　观察关木通所致慢性肾损伤的临床和病理改变特点。方法　本组 7例中 ,男 5例 ,女 2例。 3例服关木通汤药 ,4例服含关木通成药。分析服用时间、累积总量与肾损害首发症状及症状出现时间、肾功能和肾病理改变的关系。结果　汤药组 :服药时间平均 3 3 3个月 ,累积总量平均 82 9 3 g ,首发症状为乏力 3例 ,夜尿增多 2例 ,平均时间为 8 3个月 ,Cr平均 40 2 μmol/L。肾病理 :3例均为重度寡细胞性肾间质纤维化 ,肾小管广泛萎缩。成药组 :服药时间平均 7 5个月 ,累积总量平均 13 6g ,乏力 3例 ,夜尿增多 1例 ,恶心呕吐、头痛头晕 1例 ,平均18 8个月 ,Cr 3 62 8μmol/L。肾病理为重度寡细胞性间质纤维化和灶状纤维化各 2例 ,肾小管灶状萎缩 3例 ,广泛萎缩 1例。结论　汤药组关木通积累大 ,发病时间早 ,肾病理改变重。提示关木通所致肾损其临床表现、病理改变与服用关木通时间、剂量相关。     

The effect of bismuth subnitrate on cisplatin toxicity

Bismuth subnitrate (BSN), a bismuth compound medically used for antidiarrheics, was orally administered to see whether it can reduce CDDP nephrotoxicity or not. Thirteen patients aged 19 approximately 60 with ovarian cancer entered this BSN-CDDP trial. A total of thirty three courses of BSN-CDDP treatment was undergone. BSN was administered orally at a dose of 50 mg/kg for five days before CDDP therapy. CDDP was infused for two hours. No vigorous hydration or diuresis was performed. Only 2,000 ml of saline with 20 mEq per liter of KCl was given for post-hydration. The median dose of CDDP was 100 mg/m2. The renal toxicity of BSN-CDDP treatment was minimum. 82% of the courses at the sixth day after the treatment had creatinine clearance levels which were more than 80% of those before the treatment. But twenty-four hour NAG and beta 2-microglobulin excretion were significantly increased. Bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal disturbance were commonly observed. The results of our study indicate that BSN pretreatment reduces the renal toxicity of CDDP to some extent.     

Variations in serum thyroxine concentrations with time after an oral replacement dose

Serum thyroxine concentrations were measured sequentially in eight healthy male volunteers after the oral administration of one of two brand name, commercially available thyroxine tablets. In all cases, levels peaked at 2 hours and did not return to baseline values until 24 hours after dosing. From 2 through 10 hours, statistically significant elevations in serum thyroxine concentrations were observed. Such fluctuations may be important in evaluating laboratory results in patients receiving replacement doses of thyroxine.     

Promoting effect of the Chinese medicinal herb, wikstroemia chamaedaphne and tung oil extracts on carcinoma of the uterine cervix induced by HSV-2 or methylcholanthrene (MCA) in mice

The promoting effect of the Chinese medicinal herb, Wikstroemia chamaedaphne and Tung oil extracts (WC and HHPA) on carcinoma of uterine cervix induced by HSV-2 or MCA in mice was studied. The results showed that WC and HHPA extracts were not carcinogenic themselves. After carcinogen HSV-2 and MCA treatment, WC and HHPA were added separately. The inducing rates by HSV-2 increased from 7.4% to 21.1% and 26.3%, those by MCA increased from 56.5% to 82.8% and 84.4%. There was a significant difference between the combined groups and groups with HSV-2 or MCA only. The experimental results suggest that these two kinds of extracts play a promoting effect on carcinogenesis. The relation between the carcinogenesis of uterine cervix or nasopharynx and WC or HHPA extracts is discussed.
