用Lyman NTCP模型分析原发性肝癌三维适形放疗引起的放射性肝病

目的建立原发性肝癌三维大分割适形放疗Lyman NTCP模型的参数和探讨放射性肝病的影响因素。方法109例患者进行大分割三维适形放疗,其中93例患者肝硬化Child-Pugh分级A级,16例为B级。患者每星期治疗3次,每次间隔48h,(4．8±0．5)Gy/次,平均剂量(53．5±5．5)Gy。用最大拟然比方法分别得到Child-A和Child-B患者Lyman模型中的NTCP参数。结果共有17例发生放射性肝病,发生在Child-A组8例,Child-B组9例。多因数分析表明,肝硬化分级程度是与放射性肝病相关的独立因素(P=0．000)。所有患者的NTCP参数为n=1．1,m=0．35,TD_(50) (1)=38．5Gy；Child-A级为n=1．1,m=0．28,TD_(50)(1)=40．5Gy；Child-B级为n=0．7,m=0．43,TD_(50)(1)=23Gy。结论肝硬化分级是预测放射性肝病发生的危险因子。Child-B患者进行适形放疗易引起放射性肝病。

Clinical evaluation of tumor markers in breast cancer patients

During the past 4 years, the performances of various tumor markers such as CA15-3, CEA, ferritin, beta 2-microglobulin and TPA have been evaluated in 78 cases of mammary cancer. The results were categorised according to differences in stages, difference in values from patients with recurrent tumors, the incidence of abnormal values and differences in values before and after surgery. When the incidence of values higher than the cutoff value was determined for each of stage I, II and III + IV, the rates for CEA were 14.3%, 4.9% and 27.8%, respectively, whereas those for TPA were 25.0%, 22.2% and 26.7%, respectively. In addition, for CA15-3, the incidences were 0% in stage I, 5.0% in stage II and 57.1% for combined stages III + IV. The average values for patients with recurrent tumors were 3.2 ng/ml CEA, 194.5 ng/ml ferritin, 316.2 U/l TPA and 81.3 U/ml CA15-3. The rates of abnormal values were 40.0% for CEA, 40.0% for ferritin, 85.7% for TPA and 63.6% for CA15-3. Differences in the values after surgical removal of the tumor were observed with these tumor markers: the CEA value was reduced from 1.6 +/- 1.4 to 1.1 +/- 0.5 (p less than 0.01) and the CA15-3 value from 12.2 +/- 8.4 to 9.3 +/- 4.1 (p less than 0.05), respectively, whereas that for ferritin was conversely increased from 48.9 +/- 48.0 to 74.0 +/- 70.0 (p less than 0.01). However, the values for TPA, despite showing a tendency to decrease, did not show any statistically significant alteration. The fluctuations of these marker levels in patients with recurrent tumors reflects the progress of the disease, with a sudden elevation in values indicating imminent death. The diagnostic significance of these markers is not high, but they are considered to be useful in detecting the progress or condition of a recurrent tumor.     

Surface modification of titanium by etching in concentrated sulfuric acid

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to characterize the etching behavior of titanium in concentrated sulfuric acid and discuss its application on surface modification of titanium for biological use. METHODS: Commercially pure titanium (cpTi) plate was etched in 48% H2SO4 at RT -90 degrees C for 0.25-8 h. The weight loss was derived from the weight differences before and after etching. The surfaces after etching were characterized by surface roughness, X-ray diffractometry, and scannning electron spectroscopy. The apparent activation energy of the dissolution of cpTi into acid was derived from an Arrhenius plot of the rate of weight loss versus the acid temperature. RESULTS: The surface roughness of cpTi increased with the acid temperature and etching time. The surface roughness was strongly related to the weight loss. The weight loss increased drastically with the acid temperature after an initial period, which shortened with increasing acid temperature. The apparent activation energy for the dissolution of cpTi in H2SO4 was derived as 67.8 kJ/mol. SIGNIFICANCE: This study indicates that etching with concentrated sulfuric acid is an effective way to modify the surface of titanium for biological applications.     

Effect of isoelectric point on biodistribution and inflammation imaging with indium-111-labelled IgG

Electrostatic effects play an important role in protein interactions and may alter the biodistribution of antibodies. To study the effect of molecular charge on the biodistribution and infection imaging properties of human polyclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG), its iso electric point was varied by changing the level of diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) substitution: 0.8, 0.9, 3.7, 5.1 and 5.9 DTPA/IgG. Biodistributions of the different IgG preparations were determined at 10 min, 1, 6, 24, and 48 h post injection in normal rats, and infection imaging properties were determined in rats withEscherichia coli thigh infections. The biodistribution was significantly affected by pl. The immunoglobulin preparations with 0.9 and 3.7 DTPA/IgG showed faster clearance from the circulation and generally lower accumulation in most organs. The images had a target-to-background ratio of approximately 1.3–2.3:1. These results suggest that even though targeting is not affected by the level of DTPA substitutions, preparations with 0.9 and 3.7 DTPA/IgG may be superior imaging agents because of reduced accumulation by background organs.     

Simultaneous development of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and alopecia areata universalis

Alopecia areata universalis developed gradually over nine months in a 25-year-old woman. When her scalp hairs were totally lost and other body hair began to fall out, the symptoms of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, an organ-specific autoimmune disease, developed rapidly and progressed to diabetic coma. Alopecia did not regress after the metabolic state improved following insulin therapy. Biopsy of the scalp skin revealed significant reduction of the total number of hair bulbs and prominent lymphocyte infiltration into the remaining hair follicles. Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and alopecia areata universalis are both thought to be related to the autoimmune mechanism and sometimes coexist. However, simultaneous development of these two disorders is extremely rare.
