We performed this dosimetric study to compare a nonstandard volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and helical tomotherapy (HT) techniques with high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BRT) plan of vaginal vault in patients with postoperative endometrial cancer (EC). Twelve postoperative patients with early stage EC were included in this study. Three plans were performed for each patient; dosimetric and radiobiological comparisons were made using dose-volume histograms and equivalent dose for determining the planning target volume (PTV) coverages in brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy, and organs-at-risk (OARs) doses between three different delivery techniques. All the plans achieved adequate dose coverage for PTV; however, the VMAT plan yielded better dose conformity, and the HT plan showed better homogeneity for target volume. With respect to the OARs, the bladder D2cc was significantly lower in the BRT plan than in the VMAT and HT plans, with the highest bladder D2cc value being observed in the HT plan. However, no difference was observed in the rectum D2cc of the three plans. Other major advantages of the BRT plan over the VMAT and HT plans were the relatively lower body integral doses and femoral head doses as well as the fact that the integral doses were significantly lower in the BRT plan than in the VMAT and HT plans. This is the first dosimetric comparison of vaginal vault treatment for EC with BRT, VMAT, and HT plans. Our analyses showed the feasibility of stereotactic body radiotherapy technique as an alternative to HDR-BRT for postoperative management of EC patients. 相似文献

Previous studies of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in sarcoidosis have revealed both ethnic heterogeneity of I/D frequencies and controversy surrounding the association between the polymorphism and severity of disease. The objective of this study was, therefore, to clarify the role of the ACE I/D polymorphism in (1) disease susceptibility, (2) pulmonary disease severity (with particular reference to pulmonary fibrosis), and (3) pulmonary disease progression, in two distinct European sarcoidosis populations. Standard chest radiographic staging was performed on 118 UK and 56 Czech white patients with sarcoidosis at 2 yr from presentation. Pulmonary function data were analyzed, and patients were then categorized according to disease severity. A PCR-SSP assay was used to determine the ACE I/D genotype of each patient studied. The I/D allele frequencies from these patients were compared with frequencies from ethnically matched UK (n = 386) and Czech (n = 179) control subjects using a chi-square contingency table. No significant differences were seen in the distribution of the ACE I/D genotypes, allele frequencies or phenotype frequencies. Furthermore, no association was found between the ACE I/D polymorphism and pulmonary disease severity, fibrosis, and progression. We conclude that the ACE I/D polymorphism has no role in sarcoidosis susceptibility in European whites and that it is not a regulatory variant in this disease. 相似文献

Celiac disease can be triggered by upper abdominal surgery, such as vagotomy, oesophagectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and gastrojejunal anastomosis. Here we report a case of a 24 year-old woman who developed celiac disease after an ileal resection for perforated Meckel's diverticula. This is the first reported celiac case that has been triggered, not by upper abdominal surgery, but after ileal resection for Meckel's diverticula. 相似文献

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is suggested to be an important enzyme for modulating the bioactivity of insulin, but its clinical significance in diabetes mellitus (DM) is not yet characterized. We measured the serum level of ADA in healthy controls (C, n=29) and type 2 diabetic patients (n=42). The mean serum level of ADA in C, and type 2 diabetic patients was 13.04 +/- 3.3 and was 22.2 +/- 4.3 U/L, respectively (P<0.01[corrected] vs. C). ADA levels of patients were significantly correlated with HbA1c (r=0.45, p<0.01). Our findings suggest that ADA may play a role in insulin effect and glycamic control. On the other hand, increased activity of ADA in type 2 DM might be a marker for insulin indication. However, further studies are required for the pathogenic role of elevated ADA activity in type 2 DM. 相似文献

Purpose
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between epicardial fat tissue (EFT) volume and left ventricular diastolic function.Materials and methods
A total of 63 patients (29 male, 34 female, mean age 57.8 ± 10.9 years) were enrolled in the study. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and 2D transthoracic echocardiography were performed in 29 patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and 34 patients with normal diastolic function. EFT volume and coronary calcium score were measured by MDCT.Results
Mean EFT volume was 137.2 ± 56.2 cm3 for the whole study group. Mean EFT was 114.1 ± 46.6 cm3 in patients with normal left ventricular diastolic function and 164.4 ± 54.9 cm3 in those with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (p = 0.0002). Diastolic dysfunction had no significant correlation with diabetes, hypertension, and coronary calcium scoring (p > 0.05). Also in our patient group EFT volume had no significant correlation with coronary calcium score (r = 0.148, p = 0.248).Conclusion
Patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction had significantly increased EFT volume. 相似文献7.

Purpose
To determine whether setup errors during external beam radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer are influenced by the combination of androgen deprivation treatment (ADT) and RT.Materials and methods
Data from 175 patients treated for prostate cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment was as follows: concurrent ADT plus RT, 33 patients (19%); neoadjuvant and concurrent ADT plus RT, 91 patients (52%); RT only, 51 patients (29%). Required couch shifts without rotations were recorded for each megavoltage (MV) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, and corresponding alignment shifts were recorded as left–right (x), superior–inferior (y), and anterior–posterior (z). The nonparametric Mann–Whitney test was used to compare shifts by group. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to measure the correlation of couch shifts between groups. Mean prostate shifts and standard deviations (SD) were calculated and pooled to obtain mean or group systematic error (M), SD of systematic error (Σ), and SD of random error (σ).Results
No significant differences were observed in prostate shifts in any direction between the groups. Shifts on CBCT were all less than setup margins. A significant positive correlation was observed between prostate volume and the z?direction prostate shift (r = 0.19, p = 0.04), regardless of ADT group, but not between volume and x? or y?direction shifts (r = 0.04, p = 0.7; r = 0.03, p = 0.7). Random and systematic errors for all patient cohorts and ADT groups were similar.Conclusion
Hormone therapy given concurrently with RT was not found to significantly impact setup errors. Prostate volume was significantly correlated with shifts in the anterior–posterior direction only.8.
Purpose
To compare soft-tissue cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT-P) and fiducial marker (CBCT-FM)-based image guided radiotherapy in prostate cancer patients.Materials and methods
Sixteen prostate cancer patients were treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy. Manual alignment using CBCT-P and CBCT-FM was performed for each patient. Couch shifts were calculated and compared between methods in the left–right (x), superior–inferior (y), and anterior–posterior (z) directions.Results
CBCT-P and CBCT-FM alignments were compared using 252 scans from the 16 patients. Mean displacement from zero was 2.4 ± 1.3, 1.7 ± 1.2, and 1.8 ± 1.1 mm for CBCT-P and 2.3 ± 1.3, 1.7 ± 1.1 and 1.8 ± 1.1 mm for CBCT-FM in the x, y and z directions, respectively. There was no difference in median displacement between CBCT-P and CBCT-FM; however, there was a significant positive correlation between CBCT-P- and CBCT-FM-based displacements in the x (r = 0.881; p < 0.001), y (r = 0.789; p < 0.001) and z (r = 0.856; p < 0.001) directions by linear regression analysis. Systematic deviations within each group were <1 mm; however, random and systematic errors were similar in the x and y directions but larger in the z direction.Conclusion
Our study demonstrated that CBCT-FM was not superior to CBCT-P for image-guided radiotherapy in prostate cancer patients.9.

HER-2 amplification is a biomarker for identifying patients who respond to trastuzumab and has been evaluated as a factor
predicting the response to anthracyclines. The relationship between HER-2 and response to anthracycline therapy may also be
the result of the close localization of TOP2A on 17q. It has been a matter of debate whether these two genes, HER-2 and TOP2A,
behave separately on different amplicons or act together thus making it possible to predict the TOP2A status from the HER-2
status. In this study TOP2A, HER-2 and chromosome 17 aneusomy were investigated by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)
in 50 consecutive breast cancer patients. HER-2 amplification was detected in 11 patients (22%) and TOP2A changes were seen
in 6 patients (12%); two amplifications and two deletions were observed in HER-2-amplified cases and two deletions in HER-2-nonamplified
cases. Three of the TOP2A-deleted cases had polysomy 17. HER-2 copy number was higher than the TOP2A copy number in one patient
with co-amplification. Polysomy was observed in 9 cases (18%) and monosomy in 6 cases (12%). Aneusomy was the sole anomaly
in 11 patients (22%). We conclude that the TOP2A status cannot be predicted from the HER-2 status and evaluation of the TOP2A
status only in patients with HER-2 overexpression may lead to missing cases with TOP2A deletion with possible resistance to
therapy. Other factors modulating topo IIα activity may also affect the response to therapy. Studies evaluating different
parameters that can modulate topo IIα activity and the response to the drugs targeting the enzyme are necessary. 相似文献
