Methods:Thirty heart specimens from cadaver of normal adult were studied. The dimensions of four levels inaortic root were measured and the relationships between the aortic sinues and its neighbouringstructure were observed. Results: The dimensions of four levels in aortic root obtained as follows;Sinus > STJ1 > STJ0 > Base (P < 0.05) . The dimensions of the aortic valve leaflets were measured.The right coronary leaflet was larger than those of the left coronary and noncor-onary leaflets .But there was no statistical signiftcane (P > 0.05) . The relationships between the middle axis ofthe anterior valve of the bicuspid valve and the aortic sinuses were examined. The middle axis ofthe anterior valve in 26 specimens (86.6%) located between the left coronary sinus and thenoncoronary sinus . The relationship between the aortic prominence of the right atrium and theaortic sinuses was examined. The aortic prominence was formed from noncoronary sinus in 22 specimens(73.3%) . The relationship between the middle point of the right and left pulmonary valves and theaortic sinuses was examined. The middle point of the right and left pulmonary valves in 24 specimens(80%) was faced to the point between the right and left aortic sinuses . Conclusion: The dimensionof the four levels in aortic root is as follows, sinus > STJ1 > STJ0 > Base (P < 0.05) . There wasno statistical significance in the size of the three aortic valve leaflets (P > 0.05).展开更多

METHODS： From 2003 to 2009, 7 patients with paraaortic lymph node recurrence （1-3 lesions） from colorectal cancer were treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy. Total gross tumor volumes ranged from 4 to 40 mL. The doses were escalated from 36 Gy/patient to 51 Gy/patient and were delivered in 3 fractions. RESULTS： One and 3 year overall survival rates were 100% and 71.4%, respectively, and median survival was 37 mo. Grade IV intestinal obstruction was reported in 1 of 7 patients. This patient received 48 Gy in 3 fractions with a maximum point dose to the intestine of 53 Gy and V45Gy = 3.6 mL. However, 6 patients received an intestinal maximum point dose of 〈 51 Gy and V45Gy of 〈 1 mL, and did not develop any severe complications. CONCLUSION： This pilot study suggests selected paraaortic lymph node recurrence （1-3 closed lesions） that failed to respond to chemotherapy can be potentially salvaged by stereotactic body radiotherapy.展开更多
