This experiment confirmed that the cause of rupture of the anastomosis in gastroenterostomy did not depend upon the layers of suture The rupture of anastomosis did not occur between the needle suture points if the submucosa was properly sutured, it may occur when the needle suture hole was gradually enlarged and connected each other So, it is reasonable that the distance of suture points should be kept about 0 5cm If the distance is too short or the suture layers are too many, it is not good for the healing of the anastomosis

Objective Knowledge?based radiotherapy ( KBRT ) can reduce the plan quality variability induced by different experiences between physicians and improve the quality of treatment plans. Methods The Varian Rapid Plan system was used to train a dose?volume histogram ( DVH) prediction model. The obtained model was preliminarily applied to semi?automatic design of the preoperative treatment plans for rectal cancer. Eighty high?quality volumetric modulated arc therapy plans were imported into the model training set of the Rapid Plan system. The structures of the plans were matched to the corresponding labels and codes as listed in the library. The training started after the verification of prescription. The residual plots,regression curves,geometric plots for organ at risk ( OAR) ,in?field DVH plots,and model training logs were examined. After removal of the mismatch, the original plans were assessed to rule out outliers and influential data points. More similar plans may be added for another round of training. Ten KBRT plans were designed using the final model and compared with the clinical plans. Results For the two major OARs,the femoral head and bladder,the average goodness of fit of the principal component were 0?999 415/1.0 and 0?999 963/1.0 for the DVH model,and 0?999 651/1.0 and 0?999 945/1.0 for geometry?based expected dose model,respectively. In all the plans, 11 had Cook ’ s distance values exceeding the tolerance and 4 had studentized residual values exceeding the tolerance. The outliers were all kept in the training set to generalize the scope of the model. The 10 KBRT plans had significantly improved homogeneity indices for PGTV and PTV than the original plans (P=0?00,0?04).The 10 KBRT plans also had significantly reduced D50% to the femoral head and bladder as well as significantly reduced mean doses to the bladder than the original plans (P=0?042,0?000,0?005). Conclusions In this study,the Rapid Plan system is used to train a KBRT model for design of preoperative radiotherapy plans for rectal cancer. The results of preliminary application meet the clinical requirements.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and dosimetric features of a volume modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-configured model in knowledge-based optimization of fixed-field dynamic intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans based on the Varian RapidPlan system.Methods ① A dose-volume histogram prediction model was trained with 81 qualified preoperative VMAT plans for rectal cancer and then statistically verified.② For clinically approved 10 IMRT plans with the same dose prescription,the above model was used to automatically generate new optimization parameters and dynamic muhileaf collimator (MLC) sequences with field geometry and beam energy unchanged.③ In order to rule out the disparities between different versions,a single algorithm was used to calculate the absolute doses of the original and new plans.④ Statistical analyses were performed on dosimetric parameters after comparable target dose coverage was achieved in the two plans by appropriate normalization.Results On the basis of similar target dose homogeneity and coverage,RapidPlan significantly reduced the doses to the urinary bladder (D50% by 9.01 Gy,P =0.000;Dmean by 8.08 Gy,P =0.005) and the femoral head (D50% by 4.20 Gy,P =0.000;Dmean by 3.84 Gy,P=0.005) but significantly elevated the mean total number of monitor units (1211±99 vs.771±79,P=0.000) and the number of fields with multiple MLC carriage groups.The knowledge-based semi-automated optimization caused a significantly larger number of high-dose hotspots but a similar D2% (52.54 vs.52.71 Gy,P=0.239).Conclusions The VMAT model can be used for the knowledge-based semi-automated optimization of IMRT plans to enhance the efficiency and OAR protection.However,the resulting high-dose hotspots need further manual intervention.
