ABSTRACT
Objective:By comparing the positioning errors caused by 3D printed personalized breast bracket and common headrest in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the fixation effect of 3D printed personalized breast bracket in IMRT was analyzed.Methods:Thirty-two breast cancer patients from January to July 2021 were randomly divided into a the 3D printed breast bracket group and common headrest group. All patients in two groups were kept in supine position, head tilted to the healthy side, the affected hand held the grip bar on the same side of the horizontal bar, the healthy hand held the opposite side of the vertical bar, and the chest and mandible were fixed with thermoplastic film. CBCT scan was performed weekly, and gray level registration was carried out according to the three registration regions of interest: breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field, and axillary field. The positioning errors in the left and right, head and foot, abdomen and back directions were analyzed between two groups.Results:In the 3D printed breast bracket group, the positioning errors of breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field and axillary field in the left and right, head and foot, abdomen and back directions were (1.75±1.26), (1.77±1.11) and (1.70±1.08) mm, (1.75±1.25), (1.72±1.09) and (1.70±1.05) mm,(1.86±1.34), (2.14±2.13) and (1.66±1.19) mm, respectively.In the common headrest group, the positioning errors of breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field and axillary field in the left and right, the head and feet, the abdomen and back directions were (2.54±1.84), (2.73±3.62) and (2.18±2.45) mm, (3.25±2.02), (3.52±2.26) and (2.62±2.83) mm, (3.25±2.05), (4.44±2.90) and (3.10±3.18) mm, respectively.The positioning errors significantly differed between two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The positioning error of 3D printed personalized breast bracket fixation is less than that of common headrest fixation. The positioning consistency of 3D printed personalized breast bracket in the three target areas of breast or chest wall field, supraclavicular and inferior field and axillary field is better than that of common headrest.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the method and application of measurement uncertainty in clinical biochemical tests .Meth-ods The synthetic uncertainty and expanding uncertainty of 13 emergency biochemical tests items were compared between Hitachi 7600 and Beckman DXC800 automatic biochemical analyzer by usingmodel method.The test items included aspartate aminotrans-ferase ,total protein ,albumin ,glucose ,urea ,creatinine ,creatine kinase ,lactate dehydrogenase ,amylase ,potassium ,sodium ,calcium and chloride .Results Measurement uncertainty of aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase were 3 .66% and 3 .51%respectively ,which were the top two on Hitachi 7600 analyzer ;measurement uncertainty of calcium and creatinine were 4 .00% and 3 .90% respectively ,which were the top two on Beckman DXC800 .Compared between the two analyzers ,the test item with the lar-gest difference of measurement uncertainty was sodium(2 .62% ) ,and the second was creatinine(2 .40% ) .The difference of meas-urement uncertainty of the 13 emergency biochemical test items between the two analyzers were relatively small .Conclusion The two analyzer both have good performance ,Model methodis suitable for the evaluation of regular test items′measurement uncer-tainty in clinical biochemical laboratory .
ABSTRACT
Objective We sought to summarize the experience in nursing the patients of Robertsonian translocation receiving pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).Methods Thirty-eight patients with Robertsonian translocation received PGD.These patients received health education and psychological nursing except for routine therapy and nursing.Results All these patients had no obvious negative emotion and complied with the therapy.Nine patients were successfully pregnant and pregnancy rate was 23.7％,7 of them delivered healthy neonates.Conclusions Health education,psychology nursing together with controlled ovarian stimulation,egg retrieval and embryonic transplantation can reduce negative emotion,improve compliance of therapy,and benefit the process of PGD and clinical outcomes.
