Bystander effect in human hepatoma HepG2 cells caused by medium transfers at different times after high-LET carbon ion irradiation
Although radiation-induced bystander effects have been well documented in a variety of biological systems, whether irradiated cells have the ability to generate bystander signaling persistently is still unclear and the clinical relevance of bystander effects in radiotherapy remains to be elucidated. This study examines tumor cellular bystander response to autologous medium from cell culture irradiated with high-linear energy transfer (LET) heavy ions at a therapeutically relevant dose in terms of clonogenic cell survival. In vitro experiments were performed using human hepatoma HepG2 cell line exposed to 100 key/mu m carbon ions at a dose of 2 Gy. Two different periods (2 and 12 h) after irradiation, irradiated cell conditioned medium (ICCM) and replenished fresh medium were harvested and then transferred to unirradiated bystander cells. Cellular bystander responses were measured with the different medium transfer protocols. Significant higher survival fractions of unirradiated cells receiving the media from the irradiated cultures at the different times post-irradiation than those of the control were observed. Even replenishing fresh medium for unirradiated cells which had been exposed to the ICCM for 12 h could not prevent the bystander cells from the increased survival fraction. These results suggest that the irradiated cells could release unidentified signal factor(s), which induced the increase in survival fraction for the unirradiated bystander cells, into the media sustainedly and the carbon ions triggered a cascade of signaling events in the irradiated cells rather than secreting the soluble signal factor(s) just at a short period after irradiation. Based on the observations in this study, the importance of bystander effect in clinical radiotherapy was discussed and incorporating the bystander effect into the current radiobiological models, which are applicable to heavy ion radiotherapy, is needed urgently.

Particle-in-cell mode beam dynamics simulation of the low energy beam transport for the SSC-linac injector
A new SSC-linac system (injector into separated sector cyclotron) is being designed in the HIRFL (heavy ion research facility of Lanzhou). As part of SSC-Linac, the LEBT (low energy beam transport) consists of seven solenoids, four quadrupoles, a bending magnet and an extra multi-harmonic buncher. The total length of this segment is about 7 meters. The beam dynamics in this LEBT has been studied using three-dimensional PIG (particle-in-cell) code BEAMPATH. The simulation results show that the continuous beam from the ion source is first well analyzed by a charge-to-mass selection system, and the beam of the selected charge-to-mass ratio is then efficiently pre-bunched by a multi-harmonic buncher and optimally matched into the RFQ (radio frequency quadrupole) for further acceleration. The principles and effects of the solenoid collimation channel are discussed, and it could limit the beam emittance by changing the aperture size.National NatuLanzhou Univ, Sch Nucl Sci & Technol, Lanzhou 730000, Peoples R Chinaral Science Foundation of Chin
高频变谐波同步加速的方法及其控制装置
本发明涉及质子-重离子治癌同步加速器中加速离子的方法技术领域,具体涉及一种高频变谐波同步加速的方法及其控制装置。其采用与高频变谐波同步加速相对应的控制装置,并利用同步加速器中的高频腔首先采用频率等于储存离子回旋频率的高次谐波(2次或4次)的高频电场加速离子,当加速至一定的中间能量时,将高频腔的高频电场频率改变为储存离子回旋频率的低次谐波(1次或2次),继续加速离子直至临床所需要的能量。在高频腔工作频率范围内,采用高频变谐波加速技术,避免了铁氧体加载高频系统宽频带加速时低端扩展的困难。其在较窄的高频腔工作频率范围的基础上,拓宽俘获和加速离子的能量范围,实现人体不同深度肿瘤的离子束照射治疗对束流能量的要求
EXPERIENCE OF CYCLOTRON OPERATION WITH BEAM SHARING AT TSL
Following a reorientation in 2005/2006, the focus of<br />activities at TSL was shifted from nuclear physics to<br />proton therapy and radiation testing with protons and<br />neutrons. In order to use the beam as efficient as possible<br />beam sharing is employed. The paper describes the<br />development of a range of control system utilities, for<br />example switching of the beam between users by the<br />principal user instead of being controlled via a cyclotron<br />operator.IMP;Chinese Academy of Science
