基于品质因素评价瓦里安锥束CT成像质量与辐射剂量风险收益比

目的 分析比对不同Varian加速器平台机载千伏锥束CT（kV CBCT）系统的辐射剂量和成像质量，指导临床选用风险收益比（成像质量/辐射剂量）最高的图像引导方案。方法 利用CT剂量指数模体（CTDI模体）和CT电离室，以及Catphan604模体分别获取Edge、Truebeam、新旧两台ix加速器机载CBCT典型扫描模式的辐射剂量和成像质量参数，使用品质因素（figure of merit，FOM）值评估各图像引导方案的风险收益比。结果 不同型号的瓦里安加速器配置的kV CBCT系统的FOM不同，差异广泛分布于0.65（温和成像一圈）~48.46（温和成像半圈）区间；各扫描参数间FOM也存在较大差异，均值为22.14±13.47。结论 由于设备间和参数间存在显著差异，基于实际测量的验证评估有助于临床选择合理的影像引导方案，剂量敏感患者应优先选择加权CT剂量指数（CTDI_w）低的参数和设备；对图像质量要求高的患者应优选对比度噪声比（CNR）高的方案；而普通患者则可依据风险收益比进行选择，此时品质因素FOM可为临床决策提供有利工具。     

Fusion imaging to evaluate the radiographic anatomical relationship between primary tumors and local recurrences in retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma

BackgroundLocal recurrence (LR) of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) is a common and life-threatening event. The evaluation of the exact anatomical patterns of local recurrence might help to improve local treatment in RPS.MethodsOf our local database we extracted ten patients with LR of RPS with axial MRI and/or CT datasets of the primary tumor (PT) and the LR. Using the Osirix DICOM viewer Version v.3.9.4 64-bit (Pixmeo, Geneva, Switzerland) we performed a three-step fusion algorithm consisting of: a) 3-point co-registration of the axial datasets depicting the PT and the LR using three abdominal landmarks b) re-orientation of the datasets and c) image fusion. We evaluated the feasibility of this technique with regard to categorizing the localization of LR as within or distant from the PT.ResultsFusion imaging was feasible in seven out of ten patients. In the other three patients anatomical shifting of organs after surgery led to a relevant mismatch of anatomical landmarks and impeded interpretation of the fused images. In five of seven patients with successful fusion imaging, local recurrences were located within the anatomical borders of the primary tumor, in two out of seven patients local recurrences were distant to the primary.ConclusionsFusion imaging of primary tumors and local recurrences is feasible in most patients with RPS. Most local recurrences occurred within the anatomical localization of the primary tumor. For further investigations validation of the technique in larger patient cohorts is required.

食管癌根治性放疗剂量研究进展

同步放化疗是不可手术局部晚期食管癌的标准治疗模式,国际推荐根治性放疗剂量为50.0~50.4Gy,但中国食管癌与西方国家在病理类型、生物学行为等方面大有不同,行根治性放疗剂量仍倾向于60Gy。增加放疗剂量能否带来生存获益成为临床亟待解决的问题。有研究认为高剂量放疗可提高局控率、改善生存,但也有研究认为提高剂量未能带来生存获益,且可增加不良反应事件发生率。因此,本文就食管癌根治性放疗剂量对预后的影响进行探讨,并通过放化疗后疗效评估对放疗剂量做出适当调整,以期达个体化放疗。     

Breast reconstruction after therapeutic or prophylactic mastectomy for breast cancer: A comparison of guideline recommendations

BackgroundThe purpose of this article is to illuminate differences in published clinical practice guideline recommendations for breast reconstruction after prophylactic and therapeutic mastectomy.MethodsTen guidelines were identified through a systematic search of websites and databases of reputable oncology guideline developers, and key differences and gaps in recommendations were noted. Quality assessment of the guidelines was conducted by three reviewers using the AGREE II tool, focusing on breast reconstruction specific documents rather than the general breast cancer guidelines.ResultsThe most comprehensive guidelines were published by Alberta Health Services, Cancer Care Ontario, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Association of Breast Surgery/British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. AGREE II scores in the domains of “Scope and Purpose” and “Clarity and Presentation” were ranked relatively high for all four guidelines while “Applicability” and “Editorial Independence” were ranked relatively low. The Alberta and Ontario guidelines were the overall highest ranked guidelines across all domains.ConclusionOverall, these guidelines provide consistent recommendations on who should receive breast reconstruction education, who is a candidate for postmastectomy breast reconstruction, and the appropriate timing of reconstruction and extent of mastectomy. Future updates from all should focus on expanding to include alloplastic and autologous forms of reconstruction and should include a broad scope of relevant questions.

氩离子凝固术加黏膜下药物注射治疗放射性肠炎初步临床分析

目的 初步探讨内镜下氩离子凝固术(APC)联合黏膜下去甲肾上腺盐水注射治疗放射性肠炎的临床疗效,尤其是对难治性放射性肠炎的疗效评估。方法 回顾分析22例患者临床资料,分别采用改良内镜评分法(A)和Sherman′s classification (B)对患者进行严重程度评分。治疗成功的标准是临床症状的改善或便血停止(或仅有少量便血不需要进一步干预)。结果 22例患者疗后均达到临床症状改善,其中18例(82%)便血完全停止。A评估法:轻度肠炎15例(68%),重度肠炎7例(32%)。B评估法:轻度9例(41%),重度13例(59%)。采用A评估法进行相关分析发现,治疗次数与内镜等级(或内镜评分)有很好的相关性(r=0.86,P<0.001)。结论 初步证明内镜下APC联合黏膜下去甲肾上腺盐水注射治疗放射性肠炎不仅对轻-中患者有效,对难治性放射性肠炎同样可维持长久疗效。A评估法更适合在临床中推广。
