Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is able to synthesize intra-cellular electron-dense magnetite, which formed by BCM method in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The whole genome of the type strain Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 was analyzed by bioinformatics and some homolog genes of functional ones in magnetotactic bacteria were available. This study analyzed the different concentration of Fe2+ stress response of mpsA, magA, thy and mamB gene by using real-time PCR analysis. Temporal genes expression profiles were examined in cells subjected to different concentration of FeSO4 x 7H2O stress, they reached to high expression under 150-200 mmol/L FeSO4 x 7H2O stress. With this new method study, it is possible that we could do deeper research to generate a comprehensive description of the mechanism that how Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans synthesize the magnetic particles.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and stability of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) algorithm in optical surface imaging (OSI) system in non-coplanar radiotherapy.Methods:Three OSI imaging systems were used to measure the phantom repeatedly at different couch rotation angles to analyze the accuracy and stability of OSI system. Seven patients with multiple brain metastases who underwent single-center non-coplanar radiotherapy were randomly selected, and the accuracy and stability of OSI for patient imaging were analyzed. Stability is defined as the difference between the two OSI measurements when the couch is turned from 0° to a non 0° angle, and then back to 0°, using the 0° cone beam CT (CBCT) as the "gold standard". Accuracy is defined as the difference between OSI and CBCT (at 0° couch angle) measurement data. The measurement data with normal distribution were described as Mean ± SD. The data with non-normal distribution were expressed as M (Q). The difference of the former data was compared by one-way ANOVA, and the difference of the latter data was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis H nonparametric test. Results:For non-coplanarity, the translation accuracy of the phantom and the patient was ≤ 1.30 mm and ≤ 1.00 mm, and the rotation accuracy was ≤ 0.50° and ≤ 0.60°, respectively. The translation errors mainly occurred in the left-right and head-foot directions. In terms of stability, the maximum standard deviation of phantom coplanar translation and rotation was 0.06 mm and 0.06°. The maximum standard deviation of patient translation and rotation was 0.17 mm and 0.19°.Conclusions:Although the new SRS algorithm improves the non-coplanar accuracy, it still cannot meet the precise requirements of non-coplanar single isocenter radiotherapy for multiple brain metastases, especially in the left-right and head-foot directions. When the couch rotation angle is large, OSI is not recommended for image-guided radiotherapy. However, its high stability can be used to monitor the intrafractional motion of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of the optical surface imaging system (OSI) using stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) algorithm in single-center non-coplanar treatment of multiple brain metastases.Methods:Data of phantom and 15 patients with multiple brain metastases who underwent single-center non-coplanar radiotherapy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from February to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. kV/MV and OSI imaging were used for imaging of the patients and phantoms under the same non-coplanar couch angle, respectively. The accuracy of OSI imaging of the phantoms and patients was evaluated using kV/MV imaging as reference image. The difference between the OSI and kV/MV systems is defined as accuracy, and the percentage of the absolute difference ≤1.00 mm in the translational direction or ≤0.50° in the rotational direction is defined as the threshold pass rate. Origin software was used to draw radar maps and Bland-Altman plots for statistical analysis.Results:When OSI images were used for the phantom imaging, the average differences in six-dimensional directions of lateral, long, vertical, rotational, roll and pitch were 0.03 mm, -0.09 mm, -0.27 mm, 0.04°, 0.17° and -0.19°, respectively. The maximum values were -2.20 mm, -2.30 mm, -1.20 mm, 0.60°, -1.00°, and -1.00°, respectively. When OSI system was utilized for the imaging of 15 patients, the average differences in six-dimensional directions were 0.44 mm, 0.16 mm, -0.20 mm, -0.11°, 0.10°, and -0.12°, respectively. The maximum values were -1.80 mm, 2.00 mm, 0.90 mm, -0.90°, -0.70°, and 0.80°, respectively. The translational errors mainly occurred in the lateral and long directions. The qualified rates of the threshold values of the phantoms and patients were 77% and 75% in the lateral direction, 82% and 89% in the long direction, respectively. In addition, 57% and 56% of patients met the threshold conditions of ±1.00 mm and ±0.50° in the six-dimensional directions, respectively.Conclusions:The OSI system using new SRS algorithm cannot meet the high accuracy requirements of single-center non-coplanar radiotherapy for multiple brain metastasis, especially in the lateral and long directions. It is not recommended for non-coplanar image guidance.
