Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective
The dose perturbation effect of immobilization devices is often overlooked in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for gynecologic cancer. This retrospective study assessed the dosimetric effects of a prone immobilization device combined with a belly board (PIDBB) on the skin.
Methods
We recruited 63 women with gynecologic cancer undergoing postoperative IMRT at our institute. A 0.3 cm thick skin contour and body contours with or without PIDBB system were outlined for each patient. Dose calculations were performed for the two sets of contours using the same plan, named Plan− and Plan+, respectively. The accuracy of calculated doses was verified by gafchromic EBT3 film and anthropomorphic phantom.
Results
The V40 Gy, V30 Gy, V20 Gy, V15 Gy and Dmean of skin increased by 56.94%, 65.48%, 53.12%, 41.91%, and 1.91%, respectively. Even after excluding the effect of prescription dose coverage, the V40 Gy, V30 Gy, V20 Gy, V15 Gy and Dmean of skin still increased by 46.90%, 92.07%, 72.81%, 52.25%, and 18.06%, respectively. No significant differences were observed in doses to other organs at risk. The EBT3 measurements showed that the skin dose map to the anthropomorphic phantom was 23.66% higher than that calculated by the treatment planning system without the PIDBB system.
Conclusions
While the PIDBB system effectively reduces the low dose to small intestine, it also induces radiation attenuation, leading to a sharp increase in skin dose, particularly in patients receiving radiation in the groin and perineum area. Therefore, immobilization devices should be included in the external contour to account for dose attenuation and the increment in skin dose.

Authors: Omwoma Vincent , Nderu Lawrance , Ogada Kennedy , Mwalili Tobias 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Neural machine translation systems have recorded tremendous performance in data-intensive application, where the performance declines when we have limited training examples. In this paper we benchmark NMT between English and four African Bantu LRL pairs (Luganda, Swahili, Shona Tsonga [LSST]). Our aim was to evaluate current state of NMT for LRLs especially Bantu languages. Being the most morphological rich languages, but with OOV (Out of Vocabulary Problem) we proposed an NMT model using Multi-head self-attention. The model worked along with pre-trained BPE and Multi-BPE embeddings to develop a state-of the art translation system for low resourced morphological rich Bantu languages which have scarce translations online. We were able to address the issues with the publicly available corpora after refining the data for further use. We subjected our results to BLEU score for our system performance evaluation. Our experiments showed exemplary and first ever LRL translation BLEU score of; Eng.-Tsonga, Eng.-Swahili, Eng.-Shona and Eng.-Luganda as 62, 37, 22 and 20 respectively.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Background
This study aimed to assess the fairness of resource allocation of registered nurses in the Guangdong Province, based on the Healthy China strategy. It aimed to identify the issues with resource allocation fairness and provide optimisation suggestions.
Methods
To assess the allocation fairness of registered nurses, the study used the Gini coefficient, health resource density index, Lorenz curve, and index of dissimilarity. Additionally, the study employed three methods to calculate the Gini coefficient to analyse equity among registered nurses.
Results
In 2021, the allocation of registered nurses in hospitals accounted for 71.22% of registered nurses in the province, that of registered nurses in general hospitals accounted for 72.73% of the hospitals, and that of registered nurses in tertiary medical institutions accounted for 62.28% of the medical institutions at all levels. In terms of health resource allocation density, the demographic density of registered nurses in Guangzhou and Zhuhai was greater than 1; the difference index was 0.44 and 0.43 by geography and population, respectively. Calculated by population, three methods were used to calculate the Gini coefficient, taking the mean value to be 0.31; according to the geographical distribution, the average of the three calculation methods was taken, and the Gini index of registered nurses in the functional districts was 0.39.
Conclusion
When considering the geographical allocation, it is evident that there are disparities in the fair distribution of registered nurses in Guangdong. Specifically, the allocation of registered nurses in the west wing of the coastal economic belt and the ecological development zone (mountain area) of northern Guangdong is insufficient, as indicated by the Gini coefficient of different functional zones. This study recommends improving regional coordinated development to enhance the fairness of registered nurses’ allocation in the Guangdong province.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
Different hormone receptor (HR) expression patterns have significant biological and therapeutic implications in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, the distinction between HR-positive /HER2-positive (HR+/HER2+) and HR-negative/HER2-positive (HR-/HER2+) subtypes remains unclear.
Methods
This retrospective study analyzed 828 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2012 to 2022. Baseline characteristics were compared by chi-square test. Survival outcomes were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
In total, 56.3% (n = 466) had HR-positive and 43.7% (n = 362) had HR-negative disease. Comparatively, HR+/HER2 + breast cancers presented favorable clinicopathological features. At a median follow-up of 49 months, 199 disease-free survival (DFS) events and 99 deaths were observed. HR+/HER2 + patients significantly had significantly better survival outcomes than HR-/HER2 + patients. HR-positive status was an independent protective factor for overall survival (OS) [P = 0.032; hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.39–0.96] and DFS (P = 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.46–0.81). HR+/HER2 + patients were significantly less sensitive to neoadjuvant therapy than HR-/HER2 + patients. In the first-line treatment for HR+/HER2 + advanced breast cancer, receiving endocrine therapy significantly improved advanced-OS (P < 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.18–0.59) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P < 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.25–0.58) compared with not receiving endocrine therapy. Moreover, maintenance endocrine therapy after HER2-targeted therapy and chemotherapy is associated with significant advanced-OS and PFS benefits compared with no maintenance endocrine therapy (advanced-OS: P < 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.03–0.12; PFS: P < 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.21–0.57).
Conclusions
This study reveals the high heterogeneity of HER2-positive breast cancer related to HR status in clinicopathological features, metastasis patterns, and outcomes. Large randomized controlled trials are warranted to optimize treatment strategies for the HER2-positive breast cancer population.

Authors: Verma Rajat 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Introduction-Colloid cysts are rare intracranial tumours occurring in 3 individuals per million per year. They constitute around 2% (range 0.5 to 3%)3-5 of all primary brain tumours.
Materials and methods- We retrospectively studied the imaging of 47 patients of colloid cyst of third ventricle who were admitted in PGIMER, Chandigarh in last 10 years for surgical excision. Of them 31 underwent endoscopic excision while 16 went microsurgical excision. Preoperative NCCT head and MR imaging of all patients were studied.
Results-Analysis revealed that in 91.5% cases cyst size was between 1 to 3 cm with mean cyst diameter of 17.55±8.32mm. We encountered 3 giant cysts (>3 cm) in our study. On NCCT head, cyst was hyperdense in 85.11% of cases, hypodense in 4.25% of cases and isodense in 10.64%. On T1 weighted MRI sequences, 42.55% of cysts were hyperintense, 31.92% were hypointense, while 25.53% were isointense. On T2 weighted sequences 57.45% of cysts were hyperintense, 38.30% were hypointense while 4.25% were isointense. Peripheral contrast enhancement was present in 8.51% of cysts. Two cysts showed intracystic haemorrhage, out of which one was giant cyst and one showed intramural nodule.
Conclusion-This article describes case studies of patients with atypical findings in imaging like giant colloid cysts, peripheral contrast enhancement, intracystic haemorrhage & intramural nodule.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to develop a prognosis prediction model and visualization system for acute paraquat poisoning based on an improved machine learning model.
Methods: A total of 101 patients with acute paraquat poisoning admitted to 6 hospitals from March 2020 to March 2022 were selected for this study. The patients were divided into two groups, the survival group (n=37) and the death group (n=64), based on treatment results. The biochemical indexes of the patients were analyzed, and a prognosis prediction model for acute paraquat poisoning was constructed using HHO-XGBoost, an improved machine learning algorithm. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to verify the value of the self-screening features in the model.
Results: Seven features were selected in the HHO-XGBoost model, including oral dose, serum creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil count, urea nitrogen level, and thrombin time. Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences between the survival group and death group for these features (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis identified four features that were significantly associated with prognosis-serum creatinine level, oral dose, ALT level, and WBC count - indicating their critical significance in predicting outcomes.
Conclusion: The HHO-XGBoost model based on machine learning is highly valuable in constructing a prognosis prediction model and visualization system for acute paraquat poisoning, which can provide important help for clinical prognosis prediction of patients with paraquat poisoning.
The protective effect of imatinib against pancreatic β-cell apoptosis induced by dexamethasone via increased GSTP1 expression and reduced oxidative stress

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are known to stimulate pancreatic beta (β)-cell apoptosis via several mechanisms, including oxidative stress. Our previous study suggested an increase in dexamethasone-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis via a reduction of glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), which is an antioxidant enzyme. Imatinib, which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, also exerts antioxidant effect. This study aims to test our hypothesis that imatinib would prevent pancreatic β-cell apoptosis induced by dexamethasone via increased GSTP1 expression and reduced oxidative stress. Our results revealed that dexamethasone significantly increased apoptosis in INS-1 cells when compared to the control, and that imatinib significantly decreased INS-1 cell apoptosis induced by dexamethasone. Moreover, dexamethasone significantly increased superoxide production in INS-1 cells when compared to the control; however, imatinib, when combined with dexamethasone, significantly reduced superoxide production in INS-1 cells. Dexamethasone significantly decreased GSTP1, p-ERK1/2, and BCL2 protein expression, but significantly increased p-JNK, p-p38, and BAX protein expression in INS-1 cells – all compared to control. Importantly, imatinib significantly ameliorated the effect of dexamethasone on the expression of GSTP1, p-ERK1/2, p-JNK, p-p38 MAPK, BAX, and BCL2. Furthermore – 6-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-ylthio) hexanol (NBDHEX), which is a GSTP1 inhibitor, neutralized the protective effect of imatinib against pancreatic β-cell apoptosis induced by dexamethasone. In conclusion, imatinib decreases pancreatic β-cell apoptosis induced by dexamethasone via increased GSTP1 expression and reduced oxidative stress.
