Objective:To assess the three-dimensional dose distribution in radiotherapy plans using the structural similarity index(SSIM), compare the performance of SSIM with commonly used quality assessment indices, and develop a SSIM-based quality assessment method of multiple prescribed doses.Methods:The SSIM was introduced to providea quality score of various voxels by comparing actual and ideal three-dimensional dose data and combining the spatial location information of the voxels. Then the average value in a region of interest (ROI) was calculated as the quality score of the region. Fifty-three cases of cervical cancer were selected to analyze the correlation of the SSIM with the uniformity index (HI), conformity index (CI) of the dose distribution in various ROIs and to explore the capability of the SSIM to reflect the uniformity and conformity of dose distribution.Two types of quality defects were individually introduced into two of 53 radiotherapy plans. Then the two plans were compared with normal plans to characterize the response of the SSIM.Results:There was no correlation between HI and SSIM in positive lymph nodes(PGTVnd) due to the decrease in the HI sensitivity, while there was a significant negative correlation between them in regions where PGTVnd was removed from the planning target volume(PTV, R=-0.86, P<0.01). Meanwhile, there was a significant positive correlation between CI and SSIM in PGTVnd ( R=0.83, P<0.01). Therefore, the SSIM can be used to identify the artificial design defects in plans by determining abnormal dose gradients. Conclusions:Apart from reducing the defects of previous assessment parameters, the SSIM has the capability to assess the quality of radiotherapy plans by combining the uniformity and conformity of dose distribution and can provide accurate feedback on the spatial locations of quality defects.

AIM: To compare the differences in the efficacy and safety of combination of intravitreal dexamethasone(Ozurdex)and ranibizumab or monotherapy of ranibizumab in eyes with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion(RVO-ME).METHODS: Patients diagnosed with non-ischemic RVO-ME by fluorescein fundus angiography in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2022 were selected. All patients were initially treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(0.5 mg), and 42 patients(42 eyes)who had central retinal thickness(CRT)≥300 μm after 2 wk were included. They were randomly divided into combined treatment group and monotherapy group. The combined treatment group(21 eyes)received Ozurdex intravitreal injection immediately, while the monotherapy group(21 eyes)was treated with ranibizumab intravitreal injection by 3+pro re nata(PRN). The changes of best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), CRT, and intraocular pressure before and at 2 wk, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mo after treatment were recorded, and the ocular or systemic complications were observed.RESULTS:The BCVA and CRT of all patients at 2 wk, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mo after treatment were significantly better than those before treatment(all P<0.01). There were statistical significance in the BCVA and CRT between two groups at 2 and 3 mo after treatment(all P<0.05). The most significant increase of BCVA in the combined treatment group occurred at 2 mo after treatment. The mean recurrence time of macular edema in the monotherapy group was 1.45±0.53 mo, with 4.21±0.78 injection times of ranibizumab. None of the patients showed serious complications after treatment. The most common complications in the combined treatment group were subconjunctival hemorrhage and elevated intraocular pressure, which were manageable with topical ocular hypotensive agents, and no patient required antiglaucoma or cataract surgery.CONCLUSION: Compared with monotherapy of ranibizumab, intravitreal injection of dexamethasone combined with ranibizumab can significantly improve the visual acuity and effectively reduce the macular edema in the treatment of RVO-ME, with a long duration of efficacy and less intravitreal injection of drugs.

Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the strategies on COVID-19 outbreak control in Shenzhen, and to clarify the feasibility of these strategies in metropolitans that have high population density and strong mobility.Methods:The epidemic feature of COVID-19 was described by different phases and was used to observe the effectiveness of intervention. Hierarchical spot map was drawn to clarify the distribution and transmission risk of infection sources at different time points. The Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Asymptomatic-Recovered model was established to estimate case numbers without intervention and compare with the actual number of cases to determine the effect of intervention. The positive rate of the nucleic acid test was used to reflect the risk of human exposure. A survey on COVID-19 related knowledge, attitude and behaviors were used to estimate the abilities of personal protection and emergency response.Results:The epidemic of COVID-19 in Shenzhen experienced the rising, plateau and decline stage. The case number increased rapidly at the beginning, with short duration of peak period. Although the epidemic curve showed human-to-human transmission, the "trailing" was not obvious. From the spot map, during the intervention period, the source of infection was widely distributed. More cases and higher transmission risk were observed in areas with higher population density. After the effective intervention measures, both infection sources and the risk of transmission decreased. After compared with the estimated case numbers without intervention, actual number proved the COVID-19 control strategies were effective. The positive rate of nucleic acid test for high risk populations decreased and no new cases reported since February 16. Shenzhen citizens had high knowledge, attitude and behavior level, and high protection ability and emergency response.Conclusions:Although the response initiated by the health administration department played a key role at the early stage of the epidemic, it was not enough to contain the outbreak of COVID-19. The first-level emergency response initiated by provincial and municipal government was effective and ensured the start of work resumption after the Spring Festival. Metropolitans like Shenzhen can also achieve the goals of strategies and measures for containment and mitigation of COVID-19.
