Résumé
@#Circular RNA (circRNA) is a novel type of non-coding RNA with covalently closed loops which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes. In this paper, the relationship between circRNA and type 2 diabetes in terms of the regulation of pancreatic β-cell function by circRNA and the metabolic activity of heart, kidney and other organs is reviewed, and the possibility of circRNA as a clinical diagnostic marker for type 2 diabetes and its complications is emphasized, hoping to provide reference and clues for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the feasibility of prophylactic cranial irradiation with hippocampal avoidance (HA-PCI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with brain metastases of NSCLC who were treated from 2011 to 2014 were collected.Brain metastases and the hippocampus were delineated on T1 W1 contrast-enhanced MRI,and the distance between brain metastases and the hippocampus was analyzed;an HA-PCI regimen was also developed,and the distribution of the metastases in planning target volume (PTV) low-dose regions around the hippocampus was analyzed.Results None of the 139 metastases involved the hippocampus.There were 6(4.3％) and 18 (12.9％) metastases within 5 mm and 10 mm,respectively,outside the hippocampus.In the HA-PCI regimen,the D50％ and D2％ of PTV were 25.6 Gy and 27.1 Gy,respectively.Dmean and D2％ for the hippocampus were 7.4 Gy and 9.9 Gy,respectively;D50％ within 0-5.0 mm,5.1-10.0 mm,and 10.1-15.0 mm outside the hippocampus was 10.3 Gy,15.1 Gy,and 20.5 Gy,respectively.Conclusions HA-PCI may be feasible theoretically,but this needs to be confirmed by the intracranial failure pattern in patients with long-term survival.
Résumé
Objective To analyze the stability and accuracy of the equipment for three-dimensional ultrasound-based image-guided radiation therapy (3DUS-IGRT) in daily practice, and to provide a basis for clinical application of radiotherapy for soft tissue tumors.Methods A specific calibration phantom was used for continuous calibration and quality control of the 3DUS-IGRT equipment in a year.The method for daily quality control of ultrasound-guided equipment was explored, and its stability and accuracy were monitored.Results The phantom position errors in both Sim and Guide stations of the 3DUS-IGRT equipment were within 1 mm.Conclusions The 3DUS-IGRT equipment has a stable performance with the support of a complete set of stringent and accurate calibration and quality control, which provides a new image-guided method for precise radiotherapy for soft tissue tumors.
