Objeetive To study the application of template in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)planning.Methods With Philips Pinnacle3(R) version 7.6c treatment planning system(TPS) platform.a template for left breast cancer's IMRT planning was customized by using the function of scripting.Ten patients received IMRT alone after breast-conserving surgery were selected,two IMRT plans were designed for each patient:individual plan and the plan based on the template.Dose parameters of target,including conformal index(CI)and homogeneity index(HI),dose-volume histogram parameters,including V30,V20 of lung and cardiac,and the planning time were compared respectively.Results Of the two IMRT plans based on the template method and individual method.The average time of design an IMRT plan were 7±0.82 min and 36.5±6.84 min(t=13.55,P=0.000),the PTV average CI were 0.851± 0.015 and 0.845±0.032(t=0.59,P=0.560),the PTV average HI were(13.2±1.3)%and(14.4±1.6)%(t=1.804,P=0.08),the lung average V30 were(8.80±0.53)%and(8.31±0.74)%(t= cardiac average V30 were(9.89±1.14)%and(9.66±1.43)%(t=0.41,P=0.688).Conclusion For the tumor with the same location and stage,the application of template can simplify planning process and reduce working time,which was worthy of expansion.

Objective:To observe the clinical features in Gitelman syndrome (GS) patients with different urinary calcium excretion, and investigate the value of urinary calcium excretion in the clinical classification for GS.Methods:GS cases from the National Rare Diseases Registry System of China (NRSC) (2016-2018) with SLC12A3 gene screened in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were collected. The features of urinary calcium excretion were analyzed, and the phenotypes of patients with hypocalciuria were compared to those without. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) test was performed according to the standard process, and the maximal increment of chloride excretion fraction (ΔFECl) was calculated. Results:A total of 83 GS patients were included, among whom 53 (63.86%) patients had hypocalciuria. The ratio of urinary calcium/creatine was significantly lower in patients with hypocalciuria compared to those without [(0.085±0.058) mmol/mmol vs (0.471±0.284) mmol/mmol, t=7.349, P<0.001]. Age, gender, estimated glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure, serum and urinary electrolytes, and alkalosis were all comparable between groups. Fatigue ( χ2=4.595, P=0.032) and polyuria ( χ2=5.778, P=0.016) were less frequently reported in hypocalciuria patients, while all the other clinical symptoms were comparable. Sixteen patients in each group underwent HCT test, and the median value of ΔFECl was comparable between patients with and without hypocalciuria [0.539%(0.430%, 1.283%) vs 0.829% (0.119%,1.298%), U=130.000, P=0.956], both of which indicated no response to HCT. Conclusions:The proportion of low urinary calcium in GS patients is 63.86%. There is no definite relationship between urinary calcium excretion, phenotype and the extent of NCC dysfunction.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the number of sentinel regional lymph node (SALN) and non-sentinel regional lymph node (NSALN) metastasis in patients with early breast cancer after sentinel regional lymph node (SALN) biopsy.Methods:Retrospectively selected 400 female patients with early breast cancer who underwent SALN biopsy at the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery, Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 2016 to July 2021, and summarized and analyzed their clinical case data. The Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the count data between groups. Perform single-factor analysis on the research indicators, then screen out indicators with statistically significant differences, then perform multi-factor Logistic regression analysis, draw a receiver operating characteristic curve, and combine the area under the curve to establish a predictive model.Results:SALN biopsy was performed in 400 patients with early breast cancer. A total of 1 504 lymph nodes were detected in 320 cases of total mastectomy, with an average of 4.7, 47 cases of macrometastasis, and 2 cases of postoperative macrometastasis. The false negative rate was 4.3%. Among 400 cases, 67 cases were positive for SALN, and the positive rate was 16.75% (67/400). The results of univariate analysis showed that the number of tumor thrombus in the vessel, the number of positive SALN and the metastasis of NSALN were closely related ( χ2=8.775, 16.53, P=0.003). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of tumor thrombi and SLN-positive ≥3 in the vessel were independent predictive risk factors for NSLN metastasis ( OR=16.149, 95% CI: 3.016-86.473, P<0.001; OR=31.76, 95% CI: 5.242-192.43, P<0.001). SALN positive was closely related to NSALN metastasis, but as the number of SALN detected increases (more than 6) and when only 1 to 2 SALN was positive, the probability of NSALN metastasis was significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The positive number of SALN and intravascular tumor thrombolus were closely related to NALN metastasis. SALN positive number ≥3 was the most important independent predictor of NSALN metastasis. The recurrence risk of sentinel lymph node can be reduced by increasing the number of SALN detected, when 1-2 positive sentinel lymph node are detected and the number of sentinel lymph node detected >6, axillary lymph node dissection can be exempted as appropriate.
