Objective To explore the possibility that the neck extension in chest CT scanning would make thyroid move upward and reduce thyroid radiation exposure. Methods The images of 1 994 patients who underwent chest CT examination in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from March to June in 2017 were compared and analyzed retrospectively. According to different cervical positions, patients were divided into extension group and routine group with 997 cases in each group. In the extension group, the head and neck bended back to the maxillary top position while in the regular group with normal position. The length of thyroid glands exposed to the scanning range and the number of cases of all glands moved out of the scanning range were observed with the first rib head as the baseline counting mark. The differences in exposed length of thyroid gland in primary radiation area between the two groups were compared. Results The length of exposed thyroid gland by primary radiation in the extension group (4.69±5.68) mm was significantly shorter (U=91 073.5, P<0.05) than that in the routine group (17.16±6.68) mm. In addition, the number of thyroid glands out of scanning range completely in the extension group (n=519, with ratio of 52.1%) was significantly more (U=594.8, P<0.05) than those in the routine group (n=32, with ratio of 3.2%). Conclusions During chest CT scan, the length of thyroid gland in the scanning field can be shortened with neck backbend position and the radioation protection for thyroid gland can be effectively improved.

Objective To investigate the changes of accumulated dose in target area and organs at risk (OARs) for radiotherapy of left breast cancer by deformable and rigid image registration. Methods A total of 16 left breast cancer patients treated with 6 MV X-ray IMRT were analyzed retrospectively. All targets included the lymph node drainage area and the chest wall. All patients underwent simulation of the primary positioning and repositioning to obtain CT images. Primary and secondary treatment plans were developed using primary positioning CT (CT1) and repositioning CT (CT2), denoted as Plan1 and Plan2 respectively. The dose distribution of Plan2 was mapped to CT1 with rigid and deformable registration from CT2 to CT1 and then added to the dose distribution of Plan1 to obtain Plan-rigid and Plan-deform, respectively. The dosimetric differences between targets and the OARs of the four plans were compared. Results The CTV volume on CT2 was reduced by 6.64% from that on CT1. The homogeneity index (HI) increased by 23.05% after deformation-based accumulation. The Dice similarity coefficients (DSCs) of the heart, left lung and right lung were lower than those before deformable registration (0.94±0.01 vs. 0.89±0.05, 0.96±0.01 vs. 0.91±0.03, and 0.96±0.01 vs. 0.92±0.03, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-3.208, -3.533, -3.535, P 0.05), while the dose-volume indices in Plan-rigid were higher than that in Plan-deform. Conclusions Rigid registration is recommended in patients undergoing radical resection of left breast cancer with little change in the volume and dose-volume index of the target area and organs at risk. The dose-volume index of the initial intensity modulation plan can basically reflect the dose-volume statistics of both lungs and heart.

Objective To study the expression of neuronal migration-related factors and spatial learning and memory of rats exposed to tritiated water (HTO). Methods Hippocampal neural cells from newborn Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats at postnatal 24 h were primarily cultured in DMEM/F12 medium with 20% of fetal bovine serum for 6 days, followed by subjection to tritiated water(HTO) at concentrations of 3.7×102, 3.7×103, 3.7×104, 3.7×105, 3.7×106 Bq/ml for 24 h, respectively. Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to determine the expression levels of F-actin, α-tubulin, tau, AP2, BDNF mRNA and Reelin mRNA. 16 pregnant SD rats at embryonic (E) day 14 were randomly divided into the tested and control groups (8 rats/ each group). The tested rats were injected with body fluid of HTO (3.7×106 Bq/g) intraperitoneally, while the saline as the control. Morris water maze (MWM) was employed for the spatial learning and memory of rats. Results Compared to the control cells, HTO caused a significant downregulation of expressions of cytoskeletal proteins [F-actin (t=8.898-19.896, P<0.05), α-tubulin (t=3.261-7.900, P<0.05), tau (t=2.274-5.003, P<0.05), and MAP2 (t=2.274-5.003, P<0.05)] and mRNA of BDNF(t=3.580-19.792, P<0.05) and Reelin (t=3.240-39.692, P<0.05) in the tested neural cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the escape latency of irradiated offsprings was significantly prolonged (t=-2.563, P<0.05), the time for offsprings to cross through target quadrant was markedly reduced (t=3.214, P<0.05), and the swimming time in the platform quadrant of irradiated offsprings were obviously shortened (t=3.874, P<0.05) in the MWM trial. Conclusions The results indicate that HTO irradiation in utero downregulates the expressions of neuron migration-related factors and induces brain dysfunction, which may shed a light on a mechanism of the radiation-induced brain impairment.

Objective To study the effect of LncRNA CRNDE on radiosensitivity of colorectal cells and underlying mechanism. Methods Colorectal cancer HT-29 cells were transfected with CRNDE shRNA and the interference efficiency was determined by Real time PCR. HT-29 cells transfected with CRNDE shRNA or co-transfected with CRNDE shRNA and miR-384 inhibitor were irradiated at 8 Gy dose, then cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by MTT and flow cytometry assay, respectively, and cell radiosensitivity was evaluated by cloning assay. It was predicted by a bioinformatics software that CRNDE and miR-384 have complementary binding sites, and this was identified by a luciferase reporting system. Results CRNDE shRNA reduced the expression of CRNDE in HT-29 cells(1.00±0.08 vs. 0.42±0.06, t=10.051, P<0.05). Both CRNDE shRNA and radiation inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis of HT-29 cells, and their combination treatment had synergistic effect in apoptosis induction [Apoptosis rates: (2.27±0.13)%, (23.58±2.35)%, (26.91±2.81)%, (36.84±3.24)%, F=24.660, P<0.05; A values: 0.45±0.06, 0.30±0.02, 0.28±0.03, 0.20±0.02, F=106.207, P<0.05]. Transfection of CRNDE shRNA increased the radiosensitivity of HT-29 cells with a radiosensitization ratio of 1.374. CRNDE negatively regulated the expression of its target miR-384. The miR-384 inhibitor antagonized the effect of CRNDE shRNA on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis promotion of radiation-treated colorectal cancer cells. Conclusions Down-regulation of LncRNA expression enhances the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells by regulating miR-384 expression.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect and prognostic factors of induction chemotherapy plus intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with or without consolidation chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods One hundred and eight patients with ESCC treated between January 2010 to August 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients received IMRT and platinum-based chemotherapy. The overall survival (OS) and local control (LC) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the univariate prognostic analyses were tested by the Log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results The follow-up rate was 97.2%. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 76.9%, 50.9% and 32.3% respectively, and the LC rates were 73.6%, 58.5% and 54.9% respectively. The median OS with and without consolidation chemotherapy were 51 and 15 months (χ2=5.076, P=0.024), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that clinical N staging, recent curative effect and consolidation chemotherapy were important prognostic factors for OS, and recent curative effect was associated with LC. The rates of acute grade 3 radiation-induced esophagitis, gastrointestinal side effects, myelosuppression and radiation-induced pulmonary injury were 7.4%, 6.5%, 12% and 0.9%, respectively, and no grade 4 occurred. The late toxicity was mainly radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Conclusions Induction chemotherapy plus IMRT with or without consolidation chemotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of ESCC. The addition of consolidation chemotherapy may help prolong the survival of some patients and further research is necessary. Individualized treatment should be selected for patients who cannot tolerate or refuse concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Objective To analyze the levels of entrance surface dose (ESD) to patients from diagnostic medical X-ray examinations in Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Methods The investigation of diagnostic medical X-ray examinations was completed in 30% of the number of hospitals under the requirement of the program plan of the national survey on frequency and dose from medical exposure. The investigation of ESDs to patients from general diagnostic X-ray examinations was carried out in terms of the scale of annual outpatients in different levels of hospital. The difference in ESDs to patients was compared for different equipments, different grade hospitals and different exposure sites, with the comparison result being subjected to rank sum test. Results In all types of diagnostic medical X-ray equipment, DR photography equipment accounted for the majority. During various routine diagnostic X-ray examinations, the average ESDs was lumbar vertebral 3.39 mGy, pelvic and hip 1.65 mGy, cervical spine 0.90 mGy, extremities 0.38 mGy and thorax 0.37 mGy, respectively. In the diagnostic examinations of chest, lumbar and cervical spine, the ESDs caused by the use of screen film photography equipment were higher than those by DR photography equipment, with statistically significant difference (Z=-3.229, -4.820, -5.265, P<0.05). Conclusions Screen film photography equipment results in higher ESD than DR photography equipment. The doctor′s operation behavior is an important factor that affects the ESD.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of T2N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods By retrospectively analyzing the clinical data of 30 inoperable patients with stage T2N0M0 NSCLC treated by SBRT, the overall survival, progression-free survival, cancer-specific survival and adverse effects were determined. Results The median follow-up was 18.4 months. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival rates were 92.2%, 92.2% and 80.6%, respectively. The corresponding cause-specific survivals were 95.7%, 95.7% and 83.7%. The progression-free survivals were 70.2%, 54.1% and 40.6%. The local control rates were 100%, 94.4%, and 94.4%. The regional controls were 84.2%, 72.1%, and 54.1%; and distant controls were 84.6%, 72.4% and 64.3%, respectively. Twenty patients (66.7%) developed symptoms of grade 1 radiation-related toxicities: dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, cough, esophagitis, or pneumonia. Among these, 5 patients suffered grade ≥2 radiation pneumonitis, and one patient experienced grade 4 radiation pneumonitis. Conclusions SBRT was efficient and safe for patients with inoperable T2N0M0 NSCLC, imposing tolerable toxicities.

Objective To estimate the effective dose burden to the public in Suzhoui induced by medical exposure from computed tomography (CT) and digital radiography (DR). Methods Twenty-seven hospitals were selected by stratified random sampling. The application information was colleted from picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and radiology information system (RIS). For DR, DAP was measured by the dose-area product meter in different body parts, then the effective dose values were calculated by the DAP. For CT, effective dose was estimated by measuring CT dose index weighted (CTDIw) and scanning parameters in different parts of the body. The public dose burden caused by DR and CT medical exposure in Suzhou was estimated according to the scanning time and effective dose to each part. Results The effective dose due to DR examination was abdomen AP 0.565 mSv, pelvis AP 0.280 mSv, skull LAT 0.016 mSv, skull AP 0.012 mSv, chest LAT 0.111 mSv, chest AP 0.060 mSv, thoracic spine LAT 0.100 mSv, thoracic spine AP 0.102 mSv, lumbar spine LAT 0.307 mSv and lumbar spine AP 0.152 mSv, respectively. The effective doses from CT scanning were 1.33 mSv for head, 5.75 mSv for thorax and 7.31 mSv for abdomen, respectively. The annual collective effective dose in Suzhou in 2017 from DR exposures and CT scans was 9 593.07 man·Sv, and the average annual effective dose was 0.898 mSv. Conclusions The contribution of CT medical radiation to the public dose is much greater than that of DR. Controlling the frequency of medical exposure and single scan dose is an effective way to reduce the public dose burden. The public dose burden from DR and CT medical exposure in Suzhou is at a high level and attention needs to be paid by relevant health administrative departments.
