Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the sixth most common cancer in the world.The majority of patients with HCC present with unresectable disease.These patients have historically had limited treatment options secondary to HCC demonstrating chemoresistance to the currently available systemic therapies.Additionally, normal liver parenchyma has shown intolerance to tumoricidal radiation doses,limiting the use of external beam radiation.Because of these limitations,novel percutaneous liver-directed therapies have emerged. The targeted infusion of radioactive microspheres (radioembolization)represents one such therapy. Radioembolization is a minimally invasive transcatheter therapy through which radioactive microspheres are infused into the hepatic arteries that supply tumor. Once infused,these microspheres traverse the hepatic vascular plexus and selectively implant within the tumor arterioles.Embedded within the arterioles, the 90Y impregnated microspheres emit high energy and low penetrating radiation doses selectively to the tumor.Radioembolization has recently shown promise for the treatment of patients with unresectable HCC. The objective of this review article is to highlight twocurrently available radioembolic devices(90Y,188Rh)and provide the reader with a recent review of the literature.

应用GC-MS分析方法对全国75处自来水厂原水及出厂水中苯、甲苯、乙苯、二甲苯、苯乙烯等7种苯系物进行了分析。结果表明:除1处原水水样含有苯(浓度为0.000 6 mg/L)外,其余原水和出厂水中苯系物浓度均低于GC-MS检测限。对含有苯的原水水样进行健康风险评价,计算得到其化学致癌物风险值为1.03×10-6,大于美国环保局提出的最大可接受值(10-6)。对机器检测限对应的苯系物浓度进行健康风险

二沉池是活性污泥系统中的重要处理单元,其运行好坏会直接影响污水处理厂的出水水质,为此采用数值模拟方法进行了二沉池的结构优化研究。借助Fluent软件,结合实际沉淀柱试验结果,首先对拟采用的模型进行了验证,其模拟精度高达97%。运用该模型,以北京市某污水处理厂的辐流式二沉池为研究对象,研究了二沉池中导流筒高度和水平位置对内部速度场和浓度场的影响,结果显示,这两个参数都会影响水流在二沉池中的停留时间,
