The si-con group (transfected si-con), si-UCA1 group (transfected si-UCA1), miR-513a-5p group (transfected miR-513a-5p mimics), miR-NC group (transfected miR-NC), IR+ si-con group (transfected si-con, and irradiated), IR+ si-UCA1 group (transfected miR-NC and irradiated), IR+ miR-513a-5p group (transfected miR-513a-5p mimics and irradiated), IR+ miR-NC group (transfected miR-NC and irradiated), IR+ si-UCA1+ anti-miR-513a-5p group (co-transfected si-UCA1, anti-miR-513a-5p and irradiated) were transfected into the A549 and H1299 cells by liposome method, and then the cells in certain groups were subject to 4Gy irradiation.

However, the role of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (PORT) has been controversial. The survival benefits of two-dimensional radiotherapy are not significant. However, precision radiotherapy has significantly changed tumor radiotherapy. The value of PORT for thymoma may also be altered. At present, the effect of radiotherapy in patients with positive surgical margins or inoperable resection is confirmed. For patients with complete surgical resection, Masaoka-Koga stage Ⅰ patients do not require PORT. Whether PORT should be given for stage Ⅱ patients remains debated if stage Ⅱb, large volume and B2/B3 type were considered during radiotherapy. The role of PORT for stage Ⅲ patients is also in disputed, whereas a majority of findings support the application of PORT. Precision technology is recommended during PORT. The clinical target volume suggests that the three-dimensional expansion of the tumor bed is 0.5 cm, including the mediastinal pleura involved by the tumor and 0.5-1.0 cm along the anterior and posterior direction of the mediastinal pleura, the cranial and caudal direction, the lung side is expanded within the 0.5 cm, and the vascular wall around the tumor and part of the vascular space, so as to avoid including too much normal tissue. The dose for complete resection is 45-50 Gy and 54-60 Gy or slightly higher for incomplete resection, which may increase the benefits and reduce the risk of PORT.The application of new radiotherapy techniques such as particle therapy can gain the advantage of dosimetric distribution, and whether it can be transformed into clinical benefits needs to be further explored. \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Thymoma/radiotherapy; Radiotherapy, postoperative; Progress","PeriodicalId":10288,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology","volume":"29 1","pages":"308-312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41522835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A deep residual convolutional neural network was used to train CTV and OARs segmentation models. An end-to-end deep learning-based automatic segmentation platform (DLAS) was established. The accuracy of the DLAS platform delineation was verified using 42 left breast cancer and 40 right breast cancer patients. The overall Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and the average Hausdorff Distance (AHD) were calculated.

The layer-by-layer analysis of CTV and OARs reached 0.90 or above, indicating that the doctors were only required to make slight or no modification, and the DSC_s ≥ 0.9 of CTV automatic delineation accounted for approximately 44.7% of the layers. The automatic delineation range for OARs was 50.9%-89.6%.

The simulated geometries consisted of the 60Co source inside a water phantom of 10.0cm×10.0cm×10.0cm in size. The magnetic field strength of the 0T, 1.5T and 3.0T was considered, respectively. The voxels with a size of 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.5 mm were established along the x-, y-and z-axis. The influence of the magnetic field on the Kerma (kinetic energy released to matter) distribution and dose distribution within the 10.0mm region from the source center was evaluated. Furthermore, the ratio of the Kerma to dose as a function of the distance to the center source was acquired.ResultsThe 1.5T magnetic field exerted no effect on the dose distribution adjacent to 60Co HDR brachytherapy source, whereas3.0T magnetic field caused significant increase in the dose distribution within r<6 mm from the source center. The dose distribution was increased by 40% at r=5.4 mm from the source center.
