Methods: one hundred and one patients with esophageal carcinoma were divided into two groups. Observing group (49 cases) were treated by whole-course 3DCRT. Patients in control group (52 cases) were treated by conventional radiotherapy. Clinical efficiencies and radiation toxicities were compared between two groups. Results: The side effects including radiation esophagitis (63.2%) and tracheitis (49.0%) decreased in observing group, but there was no significant difference between two groups (69.2% and 55.7% in controls). The 1-, 2-and 3-year tumor local control rates and overall survival rates in the observing group were significantly improved compared with the control group, being respectively 87.8%, 75.5%, 63.3% vs 71.2%, 55.8%, 42.3% and 85.7%, 71.4%, 46.7% vs 69.2%, 51.9%, 26.9% (all P 0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of whole-course 3DCRT combined with LCAFR for esophageal carcinomas is superior to conventional radiotherapy.展开更多

Methods: Between 2006 to 2010, 78 cases of locally advanced NSCLC were enrolled into this trial. All patients were given platinumbased chemotherapy combined with concurrent threedimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). Chest CT scans were obtained during endexpiratory and endinspiratory pauses when performing positioning. Image fusion was done after the image data was transferred to treat ment plan system (TPS). The target volume was delineated on the fusion images. The chemotherapy was given on the first day of radiotherapy. Comprehensive examinations were conducted 46 weeks after concurrent chemoradiotherapy to assess shortterm efficacy. Results: Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 8 cases and partial remission (PR) in 54 cases. The efficiency rate reached 79.5%. Grade IllIV radiation esophagitis occurred in 11.5%. No exit and death cases during treat ment. Conclusion: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy could significantly improve the shortterm efficacy and prolong survival of stage III NSCLC, meanwhile the adverse reactions could be tolerated.展开更多

Suppose that αM consists of two homeomorphic surfaces F1 and F2, and both F1 and F2 are compressible in M. Suppose furthermore that g(M, F1) = g(M) + g(F1), where g(M, F1)is the Heegaard genus of M relative to F1. Let Mfbe the closed orientable 3-manifold obtained by identifying F1 and F2 using a homeomorphism f : F1 → F2. The authors show that if f is sufficiently complicated, then g(Mf) = g(M, αM) + 1.展开更多

Utilization of the interplay of dimensionality (I-D, 2-D and 3-D), orientation of functional groups of the building blocks, influence of rigid/flexible linking groups, and weak interactions provides an interesting route for the creation of novel supramolecular architectures in the crystal lattice. N-unsubstituted 1H-benzotriazole and carboxylic acid, being self-complementary molecules, offer a broad scope of study of binary compounds based on the complementary combination of H-bonding/donating sites. We report here the construction of three extended molecular networks in cocrystals of the carboxylic acid group of the acid and the 1H-benzotriazole triazole moiety. We have been able to identify four major supramolecualr synthons that would be helpful in the prediction of structural motifs for these kinds of studies. Interestingly, these heterosynthons are strikingly similar, to those of the homosynthons of the individual functional groups. The nature of the aza groups helps to enhance the overall volume of the crystal lattice thus lead- ing to the formation of various supramolecular assemblies. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of mass loss.展开更多
