OBJECTIVES: To explore the synthesis of high-quality CT (sCT) from cone-beam CT (CBCT) using PE-CycleGAN for adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS: A perception-enhanced CycleGAN model "PE-CycleGAN" was proposed, introducing dual-contrast discriminator loss, multi-perceptual generator loss, and improved U-Net structure. CBCT and CT data from 80 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were used as the training set, with 7 cases as the test set. By quantifying the mean absolute error (MAE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), as well as the dose gamma pass rate and the relative dose deviations of the target area and organs at risk (OAR) between sCT and reference CT, the image quality and dose calculation accuracy of sCT were evaluated. RESULTS: The MAE of sCT generated by PE-CycleGAN compared to the reference CT was (56.89±13.84) HU, approximately 30% lower than CBCT's (81.06±15.86) HU (P<0.001). PE-CycleGAN's PSNR and SSIM were 26.69±2.41dB and 0.92±0.02 respectively, significantly higher than CBCT's 21.54±2.37dB and 0.86±0.05 (P<0.001), indicating substantial improvements in image quality and structural similarity. In gamma analysis, under the 2 mm/2% criterion, PE-CycleGAN's sCT achieved a pass rate of (90.13±3.75)%, significantly higher than CBCT's (81.65±3.92)% (P<0.001) and CycleGAN's (87.69±3.50)% (P<0.05). Under the 3 mm/3% criterion, PE-CycleGAN's sCT pass rate of (90.13±3.75)% was also significantly superior to CBCT's (86.92±3.51)% (P<0.001) and CycleGAN's (94.58±2.23)% (P<0.01). The mean relative dose deviation of the target area and OAR between sCT and planned CT was within ±3% for all regions, except for the Lens Dmax (Gy), which had a deviation of 3.38% (P=0.09). The mean relative dose deviations for PTVnx HI, PTVnd HI, PTVnd CI, PTV1 HI, PRV_SC, PRV_BS, Parotid, Larynx, Oral, Mandible, and PRV_ON were all less than ±1% (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS PE-CycleGAN demonstrates the ability to rapidly synthesize high-quality sCT from CBCT, offering a promising approach for CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.

Objective: To explore the moderating role of estradiol in the relationship between parenting styles and preschool children's behavioral problems, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving the development of human s emotional health development in early life stage. Methods: During September to November in 2022, 354 children aged 3-6 years and their parents from two kindergartens in Bengbu City were chosen by using stratified cluster sampling method for the questionnaire survey. The Parenting Style Scale and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were used to collect information on parenting style and child behavioral problems. Salivary estradiol of children was collected and tested. Independent samples t test was applied to compare the scores of the scale for parental up bringing and children s behavioral problems, and Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship among parental upbringing, estradiol and children s behavioral problems. Results: Parents doting, laissez faire, autocratic, and inconsistent parenting styles were positive associated with child behavior problems( r =0.14-0.70); fathers democratic parenting style was negatively associated with child behavior problems( r =-0.14，-0.22，-0.21，-0.17，-0.27，-0.20); mothers democratic parenting styles was negatively correlated with scores on all five dimensions of child behavior problems except the withdrawal dimension ( r =-0.14，-0.12，-0.13，-0.21，-0.12)( P <0.05). Estradiol levels had significant moderating effects on maternal doting parenting style and children s withdrawal ( β =0.68) as well as social problems ( β =-1.00), also moderating laissez faire parenting styles and children s withdrawal problems ( β =0.75)( P <0.05). For children with low levels of estradiol, withdrawal problem scores were negatively associated with mother s doting parenting style and positively associated with laissez faire parenting style, and socialization problem scores were associated with mother s doting parenting style; for children with high levels of estradiol, withdrawal problem scores were positively associated with mother s doting parenting style, and socialization problem scores were associated with mother s doting parenting style ( t=2.84, 6.24, 3.16 , 2.37, 4.49, P <0.05). Conclusions Parenting styles are strongly associated with child behavioral problems; estradiol levels play a moderating role in mothers doting, laissez faire parenting styles and children s withdrawal problems and social problems.Parents should adopt more positive parenting styles and focus on the role of estradiol levels in maternal education to reduce the occurrence of behavioral problems in children.

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease(NIID)is a slowly progressive rare neurodegenerative disease with the pathological feature of the appearance of eosinophilic clear intranuclear inclusions in the nervous system and vis-ceral organs,and it has complex and diverse clinical manifestations and lacks specificity,which often leads to misdiagno-sis or missed diagnosis.In recent years,skin biopsy and genetic testing have provided a basis for the diagnosis of NIID.This article reports a patient with NIID who had upper limb tremor as the main manifestation and was finally diagnosed by genetic testing,analyzes the clinical features of this patient,and summarizes the latest research advances in NIID through literature review,so as to improve the understanding of this rare disease among clinicians.
