ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the displacement of the selected silver clip in the different respiratory state achieved by active breathing control ( ABC ) system on the displacement of the geometry constituted by all of the silver clips at the border of the cavity in external-beam partial breast irradiation (EB-PBI).MethodsTwo sets of CT images in state of moderate deep inspiratory breathing hold (mDIBH),deep expiratory breathing hold (DEBH),and free breath (FB) were acquired in the same CT simulation assisted by ABC system for each of the 27 patients after breast conservative surgery.All silver clips in the cavity were delineated based on each set of CT images.Thereafter,the irregular geometry based on the silver clips as the vertices was automatically formed.Four selected clips located at the top,bottom,lateral border and medial border of the cavity were correspondingly manually registered based on automatic registration of the CT images acquired in the same or different state of respiration including mDIBH,FB,and DEBH.The displacement of center of the geometry in the direction of right-left (RL),anterior-posterior (AP),and superior-inferior (SI) separately based on automatic registration and manual registration was evaluated.The difference of the displacement was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis H-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z-test.Results When registered between mDIBH and mDIBH,FB and FB,DEBH and DEBH,the differences of the displacement of the center of geometry were not statistically significant (H =0.00 - 1.76,P=0.184-0.954). When registered between mDIBH and DEBH,the differences were statistically significant ( Z =11.31 - 23.00,P =0.000 - 0.001 ).There were statistically significant differences in the displacement of geometry center based on the selected silver clip between different registration forms in AP and SI directions (Z=4.76-25.54,P=0.000-0.029).ConclusionsThe difference of intrafraction displacement of the geometry constituted by the clips between the same respiratory states in the three dimensional direction is not statistically significant,but the difference is statistically significant between the different respiratory states in AP and SI directions.

Objective To evaluate the impact of respiratory motion for dose of target and organ at risk during external-beam partial breast irradiation (EB-PBI).Methods 4D-CT scan sets were acquired for 20 patients who underwent EB-PBI.The volume of the tumour bed (TB) was determined based on seroma or surgical clips on the ten sets of 4D-CT images.For each patient a conventional 3D conformal plan (3D-CRT) was generated based on the 4D-CT end inhalation phase images,then copied and applied to the other phases.The following parameters were calculated to analyse:mean dose (D),homogeneity index (HI),conformal index (CI),and the volumes that received ≥ x Gy (Vx).Results During free breathing,the TB centroid motion was 0.90,0.75 and 0.80 mm in the lateral,anteroposterior and superior-inferior directions,respectively.The medium spatial motion vector was 0.95 mm.In the superiorinferior direction,TB motion significantly correlated with D HI,and CI of PTV (r =-0.458,-0.451 and 0.462,P < 0.05),as well as D V20 and V30 received by the ipsilateral normal breast (r=0.527,0.488 and0.526,P <0.05).And in the motion vector,the D V5,V10,V20 of the ipsilateral lung all correlated with TB motion (r =0.416,0.503,0.522 and 0.498,P < 0.05).A correlation also existed between dose and percent volume of heart and volume variation of heart (Dmean,V5 and V10) (r =0.727,0.704 and 0.695,P < 0.05).Conclusions Small TB motion caused by respiratory motion during free breathing result in dosimetric variation of the target and potential dosimetric off-target or suboptimal dose coverage for EB-PBI.The doses of lung during free breathing were relatively sensitive to TB motion and thorax expansion,while heart doses were not influenced notably.

Objective To study the value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)in combination with portal vein chemotherapy (PVC) after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma to prolong survival. Methods From January 2000 to July 2007, 168 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent tumor resection in our hospital. After operation, TACE in combination with PVC was performed in 48 patients (combined group), TACE alone in 26 (TACE group), PVC alone in 50 (PVC group) and none of the above in 44 (control group). All the patients were followed up for 17-96 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were compared among the 4 groups. Results Accumulative 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were higher in the combined and TACE groups than in PVC and control groups. Conclusion After resection of HCC, combined use of TACE and PVC is the same as TACE in prolonging patient survival. However, it is better than PVC alone and non-surgical procedure.
