DPOAE对系统性低血压患者的耳蜗功能监测及其临床意义

目的用畸变产物耳声发射(distortion-product otoacoustic emission,DPOAE)来观察系统性低血压和慢性进行性听力损伤的关系。方法实验组为34例体检中发现的系统性低血压患者(诊断标准:舒张压<60mmHg,收缩压<90mmHg),对照组由年龄、性别相匹配的30例正常人组成,两组在同一实验室中进行了生化、心血管、耳鼻咽喉专科和纯音测听、声阻抗、DPOAE等听力学检查。将两组的各项结果进行比较。结果实验组DPOAE听力图结果显示16例患者有一个以上频率轻到中度的听力损伤,主要在低频范围。与对照组相比,实验组的DPOAE幅值在一个以上的频率低下甚至缺失。结论系统性低血压有可能是导致耳蜗功能损伤的因子之一,而DPOAE可作为早期监测此类患者耳蜗功能损伤情况的有效工具。

Subthreshold transpupillary thermotherapy of the retina and experimental choroidal neovascularization in a rat model

PURPOSE: To study the effect of subthreshold transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) on the retina and experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the rat. METHODS: Subthreshold TTT was performed on normal Brown Norway rats or those with krypton laser-induced CNV and appropriate controls with an 810-nm diode laser coupled to a slit lamp. At different intervals after TTT, fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) and histopathological examinations were performed. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to detect apoptosis. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression. RESULTS: In normal retina, edema and whitening was found on day 1 after TTT. Different degrees of hyperfluorescence could be seen on FFA. Obvious retina damage, especially in the outer layers, was observed by histology in all the lesions that appeared whitened. In the CNV there was congestion and less damage in the overlying retina than in normal retina on day 1 after TTT. Apoptosis was detected in all retinal layers and CNV lesions by TUNEL. In normal eyes, after TTT, Hsp70 expression was increased in the inner layers of the retina and some of the cells in the choroid. Hsp70 was also increased in laser-induced CNV. Two weeks after TTT, the CNV showed a tendency for fibrosis by Masson staining. FFA did not show much change in the CNV lesions 2 weeks after TTT. CONCLUSION: Subthreshold TTT has adverse effects on the overlying retina and thus is likely to cause significant functional and morphological long-term sequelae. Subthreshold TTT can cause apoptosis in laser-induced CNV in rats.     

The effect of fraction time in intensity modulated radiotherapy: theoretical and experimental evaluation of an optimisation problem.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), the complexity and the number of treatment fields have expanded. This may imply that the delivery time for each fraction becomes prolonged. In a number of IMRT techniques used in the clinic, the delivery time per fraction is usually 10-15 min, sometimes more than 15 min. In studies on human skin, prolonged delivery time is shown to cause significant reduction of radiation effects compared with acute irradiation. In this paper the effect of changes in fraction delivery time was studied by in vitro irradiation of mammalian cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Chinese hamster fibroblasts (V79-379-A) were used for simulating clinical situations. Most experiments were performed with 2Gy/fraction with 4-h intervals in 40-60 replicates. Each fraction was divided into different subfractions, simulating the delivery of a complicated treatment. The effect of changing the delivery time for each fraction was studied. Parameters for the cell survival curve and repair kinetics were determined experimentally. The same methods were also used for large fraction sizes (8Gy). The validity of the most widely used models in the literature, all derived from linear-quadratic formalism, were tested against the experimental results. RESULTS: The effect of prolonging the fraction time for 2-Gy fractions was underestimated by the biological models. The experiments showed that 10-min prolonged delivery time gave a ratio between surviving fractions at 2Gy (S-ratio) of 1.054 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.030-1.080, while the models predicted 1.007 and 1.009. Extending the fraction time to 20 min gave an S-ratio of 1.063 with CI of 1.045-1.080, while the models predicted 1.012 and 1.014. For 8-Gy fractions, there was a good agreement between predications and experimental results. The ratio between surviving fractions at 8Gy is 1.370 with CI of 1.300-1.440, while the models predicated 1.37 and 1.35. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of prolonging fraction time at conventional dose/fraction is underestimated by biological models. Prolonging the fraction time will spare tissues with a fast DNA repair. There is a risk for sparing tumours. This should be considered when IMRT technique is implemented in the clinic.
