The biologic effects of radiation on normal tissues and tumors represent a complex area for investigation. These effects are of far-reaching consequence to the diagnostic radiologist and the radiation oncologist having a significant impact not only in concepts relative to radiation protection but also in concepts relative to tumor biology and its response to radiation injury. The volume edited by SCHERER, STREFFER, and TROTT represents an extension of basic radiation biology data into the effects of radiation in producing pathology in organs and tissues. The data presented by the multiple authors involved in this text cover essentially all tissues in the body with specific definition of radiopathology changes and their impact on clinical care of the patient. This volume represents an important and significant contribution toward a better understanding of these effects and the pathology produced by radiations. L. W. BRADY H.-P. HEILMANN F. HEUCK M. W. DONNER Philadelphia Hamburg Stuttgart Baltimore Preface This book represents an attempt to describe the clinical radiobiology of complications arising in different organs after radiotherapy of cancer patients. Since by their very nature malignant tumors infiltrate the organ in which they have arisen and the neighboring tissues, curative radiotherapy requires the planned irradiation of considerable amounts of healthy but potentially or microscopically involved normal tissues and organs with the full target dose. This may lead to early or late normal tissue radiation injury.

A census of organs, body parts and tissues held by NHS pathology services was carried out to determine the size and nature of such stores. The census was conducted in the light of public concern expressed about events at Bristol Royal Infirmary and Alder Hey Hospital where there were reports of the widespread retention of children's organs for teaching or research purposes without the knowledge or consent of parents. The census also asked for information on consent policies and on the procedures for the disposal of organs or tissues no longer required. This report analyses the information from the census. It aims to: provide details of the approximate numbers of organs, body parts and tissues held by pathology collections in England; describe the types of organs and tissues that have been retained; indicate when the retention took place; assess the number of services with written policies on consent, retention and disposal of human organs and tissues; outline policies on asking for consent from families of the bereaved for the retention of human organs and tissues for diagnosis, research and teaching; identify policies and protocols for the disposal of human organs and tissues retained after post-mortem. The census methodology and definitions used are included. The report concludes that the scale of retention and body parts, although not large in proportion to the number of post-mortems which have taken place 1970-1999, still represents holdings from a substantial numbers of individuals with close relatives who may still be alive. The majority of these will have taken place after relatives signed forms presented to them shortly after the death occurred. Whilst some relatives will have fully understood what they were agreeing to, the unsatisfactory nature of the agreement forms, the lack of information and the lack of counselling support or advice at a distressing time, suggests that agreement to retention fell well short of fully informed consent in many cases. For many people, the fact that their loved one's organs are still held will be a surprise and a shock. The retention of body parts may be more unexpected and shocking. Retention of organs, body parts or tissues after post-mortem examination is governed by one or other of two pieces of legislation: the Coroners Act 1988 (and Coroners Rules 1984) or the Human Tissue Act 1961. The report concludes that the adequacy of these two pieces of legislation and the way in which they have been interpreted and operated is at the heart of this controversy over organ and tissue retention. The Human Tissue Act, the letter of which has been followed in the way in which permission for many post-mortems and subsequent retentions were obtained, uses a concept of "do not object" which now seems outmoded and paternalistic. Retention of organs or tissues following a coroner's post-mortem is not uncommon. The circumstances in which these take place does not seem to be covered by the legislation governing coroners' post-mortem examinations. The report expresses regret that the sensitivity shown in the arrangements for foetuses and stillborn babies has not extended to the disposal of tissues and organs, particularly from infants and children who have died. The Report recognises the value of archived tissues and organs for medical research and education but stresses the importance of ensuring that the obtaining and subsequent disposal of tissues and organs is in line with society's current expectations, that tissues and organs are treated with the respect they are due, and that the wishes of the relatives are paramount.

This volume covers all aspects of side effects in radio-oncological treatment of tumors, and of combined, multi-modal therapies. Recent developments as well as future perspectives in radiation biology of acute and late responding normal tissues are included. Special focus is given to more general treatment effects, such as anaemia, fatigue and impairment of quality of life, and post-treatment rehabilitation requirements. The book illuminates forensic aspects of radiation therapy and related complications; it further exemplifies incidence, documentation, and clinical management approaches for side effects as well as novel cyto-/tissue-protective strategies. Particular features of side effects after stereotactic or radiosurgical treatment of brain tumors, unconventional irradiation protocols for head and neck tumors, and conformal radiotherapy for prostate tumors are illustrated and followed by discussions of an optimization of physical treatment planning, e.g. by intensity modulation techniques. Bringing together medical, biological, molecular and physical expertise, research in the field of radiation-induced side effects is a true interdisciplinary effort. This publication will therefore be of great value to biologists, physicists and physicians of all disciplines involved in radio-oncological and multi-modal tumor therapy.

Radiation therapy is in the process of continual change, fueled by advances in computer technology, but also aided by the contributions of several disciplines such as physics, mathematics, radiological diagnostics, neurosurgery, and mechanical and electrical engineering. Based on the 3D imaging techniques CT and MRI, a complete change from the 2D consideration of the radiotherapy problem has taken place, leading to 3D treatment planning and to completely new treatment delivery systems. A 3D approach allows for a dramatic rethinking of the following central therapy issues: positioning, targeting, and dose and risk calculation. Major advances have been made in recent years in conformal or stereotactic techniques, in dosimetry, the target volume concept as well as clinical studies. The advances are reflected in the papers collected here from the international symposium '3D Radiation Treatment: Technological Innovations and Clinical Results' held in Munich in March 1999. The reports present the newest technical developments and clinical applications. New conformal and stereotactic technologies are discussed. Clinical results are presented in the treatment of lung cancer, prostate cancer, and brain tumors. The role of growth factors and cytokines in the pathogenesis of radiation injury is examined as are mechanisms in the development of normal tissue damage and their significance for understanding tolerated radiation dose. Included are reports on endovascular brachytherapy and new tools of 3D brachytherapy. This timely book will be of particular interest to radiation oncologists and related clinical practitioners, biologists and physicists.

Written by over seventy scientists and clinicians worldwide from China, USA, Germany, Canada, Japan and other countries, this monograph, with nearly 450 figures and tables, covers a wide range of advanced progress in acupuncture research, from experimental research to clinical applications. In addition to exploring the histopathological basis for acupuncture and mathematical simulation of acupoint response to stimulation, initiation and transduction of acupuncture signals and cellular mechanisms during acupuncture effects as well as chemical and physical characteristics of moxibustion on acupoints are broadly discussed. The topics also include novel data on acupuncture effect with advanced imaging techniques, a unique understanding of meridian-viscera correlation, specific interactions between meridians and neurosensory organs within the system of homeostatic regulation and the acupuncture-induced influences on autonomic function. Several chapters introduce specific approaches with dry needling, silver needling and stainless needling for certain diseases, such as myofascitis, supportive care for breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy as well as perioperative care of surgical patients. Moreover, this book discusses recent research on acupuncture therapy and potential mechanisms for a number of severe and refractory neurological disorders, including hyperactivity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, orofacial pain, chronic pain, itch, multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, depressive disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and ischemic brain injury. The vast amount of information offered in this book provides a comprehensive perspective on advanced acupuncture research to not only acupuncturists, but also to neuroscientists, neurologists, and other clinicians. For medical students and graduate and undergraduate students majoring in biology, physiology and neuroscience, this book offers an advanced course in learning about the mechanism-driven advances in alternative and complementary medicine.
