Localized proton spectroscopy of inoperable brain gliomas. Response to radiation therapy

Within vivo 1H-MRS resonances of several metabolites were simultaneously measured in cerebral gliomas and adjacent normal brain. 15 patients with inoperable brain gliomas all histologically verified were monitored with 1H-MRS and MRI before and after radiotherapy. 11 patients were evaluable. 1H-MRS technique evolved from single volume measurements to one dimensional and two dimensional 1H spectroscopic imaging. In all patients N-acetyl-aspartate signals were decreased in tumour areas compared to the normal brain hemisphere. No recovery was seen after radiotherapy. Choline signals were increased in tumour margins of high grade gliomas and more diffusely in low grade gliomas. In 5 patients the choline resonance decreased after radiotherapy, accompanied by a shrinkage of tumour diameter on MRI. Lactate signals were present in high grade and unspecified astrocytomas and absent in most low grade gliomas. In 3 patients the lactate signal disappeared after radiotherapy. These observations indicate the feasibility of 1H-MRS in monitoring metabolic responses on radiotherapy of brain gliomas.

硒对辐射所致过氧化脂质含量及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性的影响

以肝、脾组织中过氧化脂质(LPO)含量及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSHL-Px)活性为指标探讨硒的辐射防护效应。实验结果表明:BALB/C纯系雄性小鼠经3Gy ~(60)Co γ射线照射后3天,肝、脾组织LPO生成量比未照射者均显著增多,而GSH-Px活性却都显著降低;但于照射前连续7天每日经口灌胃亚硒酸钠溶液0.2ml(含硒12.5μg)的实验组动物,肝、脾组织LPO含量均明显少于照射对照组,而GSH-Px活性都显著高于照射对照组,结果提示,通过降低LPO含量和增加GSH-Px活性,硒对小鼠可能有辐射防护作用。     

周围剂量当量仪的研制

周围剂量当量仪研制是根据国际辐射单位和测量委员会（ＩＣＲＵ）３９号报告推荐的周围剂量当量而设计的一种数字化智能型辐射防护仪。方法采用能量补偿对探测器进行能响校正。结果补偿结果使得探测器在４７～２３０ｋｅＶ与ＩＳＯ推荐的Ｈ＊（１０）／Ｋａ值误差在５％以内。本文重点描述了周围剂量当量仪探测器部分的工艺结构和剂量学性能以及电子学测量部分的主要功能。结论通过实际应用我们初步获得的结论是由于该仪器可直接测量周围剂量当量，稳定性好且具有自动取平均值特点，它可做为实验室校准用测量仪器，又由于该仪器体积小，电池供电，读数面板又有背光功能，它也可以做为现场仪器用于辐射防护实践的现场测量

In-vitro synthesis of steroid hormones in corpora lutea from normal women and women treated with 300 micrograms norethisterone.

The in-vitro oestradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) production by corpora lutea (CL) obtained at sterilization from 30 untreated women and 43 women treated with norethisterone (NET) 300 micrograms daily was measured. The CL were obtained at different stages of the luteal phase in the untreated women [luteinizing hormone (LH) 0 to +3, n = 7; LH +4 to +7, n = 7; LH +8 to +11, n = 9; LH +12 to menses, n = 7] and on days LH +8 to +11 or cycle days 22 to 26 in the NET-treated women. In the treated women, four types of ovarian reaction were identified. Four women showed ovarian reaction Type A (completely inhibited ovarian activity), 14 women Type B (marked follicular activity, but no luteal function), 12 women Type C (normal follicular activity, followed by insufficient luteal function) and 13 women Type D (apparently normal follicular and luteal activity). The CL were incubated in Eagle's medium with and without stimulation by human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) for 2 and 4 h. In the untreated women, P and E2 production increased significantly with both incubation time and stimulation by HCG throughout the luteal phase, except in the late luteal phase (LH +12 to menses) where P increased (P less than 0.01) only after 4 h stimulation by HCG. The maximal production of P was found after 4 h incubation with HCG stimulation of CL tissue in the early-mid luteal phase (LH +4 to +7).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

特发性脊柱侧凸King型和型远端融合椎的选择

目的回顾采用椎弓根钩和螺钉CD技术治疗特发性脊柱侧凸King型和型患者,分析选择性缩短融合节段的治疗效果。方法2000年3月~2003年1月,治疗58例特发性脊柱侧凸单胸弯患者,男17例,女41例,年龄12~18岁,平均14岁。其中King型40例,King型18例。胸弯Cobb角平均64°(50~83°),柔韧性62%;腰弯Cobb角平均37°(16~48°),柔韧性105%。腰弯腰骶角平均为17°(10~22°)。所有患者C7重力垂线均不同程度地偏离骶骨中线。采用椎弓根钩和螺钉CD技术矫形治疗,以中立椎为基础选择远端融合椎,所有远端融合节段均未超过中立椎。术后随访摄站立前后位和侧位X线片,观察各项指标的变化。结果患者均获随访1年8个月~3年2个月,平均2.4年,均未出现明显的躯干侧方移位和双肩不平衡。术后Cobb角平均丢失3.1°(-1~5°);最后随访时,胸弯矫正率68%;除2例C7重力垂线偏离骶骨中线1~2cm外,其余均通过骶骨中线;腰弯腰骶角减少至平均8°(2~13°),矫正率为53%;48例远端融合椎为非稳定椎者术后成为稳定椎。与Harrington远端融合椎选择原则相比,患者远端融合椎平均节省1.4个节段(1~2个节段)。结论采用三维节段性器械内固定系统治疗特发性单胸弯时,以中立椎为基础选择远端融合椎,可获得较好的临床效果。     

放疗中呼吸引起的组织深度波动对吸收剂量的影响

目的研究放疗中呼吸引起的组织深度波动对吸收剂量的影响。方法在不同能量、组织深度波动幅度、呼吸频率及平均测量深度时，分别用研制的能模拟组织深度波动的辐射剂量测量水箱进行测量，以获得“组织深度波动因子”（Fdw）进行比较。结果组织深度波动确实对实际吸收剂量有影响，而且组织深度波动幅度、呼吸频率及射线能量越大，Fdw值越小，即对吸收剂量的影响越大，而Fdw与平均测量深度无关。结论放疗中必须根据患者的呼吸频率、所用射线类型及呼吸引起的组织深度波动幅度用Fdw对肿瘤或组织的实际吸收剂量进行修正，以提高疗效。
