ABSTRACT
@#<b>Objective</b> To study the setup error under deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) guided by optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) and free breathing (FB) FB1 and FB2 (without OSMS guidance, directly set up the body marker line by laser lamp) in radiotherapy after radical mastectomy for left breast cancer, and to provide a basis for individualized clinical target volume-planning target volume (CTV-PTV) expansion for the doctor in charge to delineate the target volume. <b>Methods</b> A total of 36 patients with left breast cancer after radical mastectomy were selected and divided into three groups, in which cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were taken in three states: DIBH, FB1, and FB2, respectively. CBCT and CT images were analyzed for registration; the absolute error data of linear displacement in the ventro-dorsal, cranio-caudal, and left-right directions were recorded, and the expanding margin was calculated. <b>Results</b> The translation errors in the ventro-dorsal, cranio-caudal, and left-right directions were (0.06 ± 0.22) cm, (0.05 ± 0.23) cm, and (0.01 ± 0.24) cm in the DIBH group, (0.07 ± 0.21) cm, (0.02 ± 0.23) cm, and (0.02 ± 0.21) cm in the FB1 group, and (0.07 ± 0.24) cm, (0.07 ± 0.34) cm, and (0.25 ± 0.09) cm in the FB2 group. The statistical results of the DIBH group and FB1 group in the ventro-dorsal, RTN, and ROLL directions were significantly different (<i>P</i> < 0.05). The statistical results of the FB1 group and FB2 group in the ventro-dorsal direction were significantly different. The relation of three groups in the value of margin of planning target volume was DIBH < FB1 < FB2 in the ventro-dorsal and cranio-caudal directions and FB1 < DIBH < FB2 in the left-right direction. <b>Conclusion</b> OSMS-guided DIBH radiotherapy in patients with left breast cancer after radical mastectomy can reduce the setup error and provide an important basis for individualized CTV-PTV expansion for the doctor in charge to delineate the target volume.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the change of serum leptin in different risk stratifications of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to investigate its relationship with the severity of coronary artery lesion and the coronary artery Gensini score and its value in the coronary heart disease risk stratification .Methods According to coronary angiography ,120 research subjects were enrolled and di-vided into 4 groups :the non-CHD group ,stable angina(SAP) group ,unstable angina pectoris(UAP) group and myocardial infarc-tion group(AMI) ,respectively .The serum leptin levels in 4 groups were determined by immunoassay and the correlation between the leptin level with the coronary heart disease risk factor and biochemical markers of risk assessment was analyzed .Results The serum leptin level in the AMI group was significantly higher than that in the non-CHD group and the SAP group ,the leptin level showed the increasing trend with the increase of the coronary lesion severity and the Gensini scores and was positively related with the CHD risk stratification indicators cTnT and smoking index ,and negatively related with blood uric acid .Conclusion The serum leptin may be used as the valuable marker for evaluating the occurrence of acute coronary event and has good correlation with usual biochemical markers of CHD risk stratification and the severity of coronary artery lesion .
