Objective:To assess performance advantages of voxel-less optimization(VoLO)algorithm of CyberKnife-based S7 treatment plan system for the optimization of stereotactic body radiation therapy(SBRT)for liver cancer.Methods:The case data of 20 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma from Chinese PLA General Hospital during June 2022 and April 2023 were retrospectively selected,which included 10 patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma and 10 patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma.All patients adopted respectively sequential optimization(SO)and VoLO to conduct optimization for plan.The optimized quality of plan and execution efficiency of two kinds of algorithms were assessed,and the influences of different tumor volumes also were considered.The planed quality assessment included dosimetric parameters of the target region and organ at risk(OAR).The assessment parameters of execution efficiency included the numbers of monitor units(MUs),nodes and beams,and estimated treatment time.Paired t-test method was adopted to analyze quality of plan and treatment efficiency.Results:On the aspect of the dose of target region,for small hepatocellular carcinoma,the conformity index(CI)value(1.08±0.05)of target region of VoLO algorithm was significantly better than(1.17±0.06)of SO algorithm(t=4.631,P<0.05).The gradient index(GI),coverage rate and dose by 95%(D95%)of VoLO algorithm were better than those of SO algorithm,while the differences were not significant(P>0.05).According to the defined standards of liver surgery,for large hepatocellular carcinoma,the differences in CI,GI,coverage rate and D95%of target region between two kinds of algorithms were significant(t=3.337,4.238,-3.359,-3.311,P<0.05),respectively.On the aspect of dosimetry for OAR,for the target region of large hepatocellular carcinoma,the differences of liver Dmean and D700 cm3 between two kinds of algorithms were significant(t=4.114,3.415,P<0.05).However,for small hepatocellular carcinoma,there was no significant statistical difference in dosimetry parameters of OAR between two kinds of algorithms(P>0.05).The execution efficiency of the plan of VoLO group was obviously higher than that of SO group,and the differences of MU number,node number,beam number and estimated treatment time between two groups were significant(t=12.661,4.423,5.024,9.487,P<0.05).Conclusion:The quality of VoLO plan is significantly better than that of SO,which has a significant improvement in execution efficiency of treatment.For the cases of large hepatocellular carcinoma with more complexity,the VoLO optimization shows better advantages on the aspect of dose on target region,and protection for normal liver.

【Objective】 To investigate the practice and benefit of national standardized management of type 2 diabetes in Yulin City. 【Methods】 We recruited the adult type 2 diabetes patients who sought medical help at our hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 as subjects. We collected their basic information (sex and age); measured height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure; calculated body mass index (BMI); and detected blood glucose, c-peptide, HbA1c, biomarkers, urinary microalbumin, sensory nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, ABI, and subcutaneous and visceral fat at the time of MMC recruited and the end of six months. T test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for measurement data and χ2 test or Fisher’s exact probability method for counting data to analyze the data. 【Results】 After 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and visceral and subcutaneous fat in all the patients decreased, but the level of fasting c-peptide increased compared with the baseline (all P<0.05). Secondly, compared with the baseline, the control rate of HbA1c (35.21% vs. 13.71% ) and the comprehensive control rate (13.97% vs. 7.26% ) were both significantly increased at six months (P<0.05). Thirdly, after 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, TC, and UA were decreased more, while the fasting c-peptide and postprandial c-peptide were increased more in the patients of the HbA1c standard group (HbA1c<7% ) than those of the non-standard group. 【Conclusion】 The multiple benefits of blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid and islet function can be achieved by taking type 2 diabetes patients into MMC. Meanwhile, the rates of HbA1c control and comprehensively reaching the standard are significantly increased. Therefore, MMC can explore a new way for the management of type 2 diabetic patients in this area.

Objective To investigate functional connectivity between the two hemispheres in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia using voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity ( VMHC ) based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods Eighteen patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and 22 healthy controls underwent the rs-fMRI. The whole brain VMHC was calculated in order to provide imaging basis for the study of the pathological mechanism of schizophrenia. Results Compared to the controls, VMHC values were decreased in the bilateral orbitofrontal cortex (t=-5.31, P<0.01), fusiform gyrus (t=-5.16, P<0.01), middle occipital gyrus (t=-5.31, P<0.01) in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Conclusion The functional coordination between homotopic brain regions is impaired in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia .

Objective? To explore the mental state of laryngeal carcinoma patients after total laryngectomy and to analyze its correlations with coping style and social support. Methods? From January 2017 to October 2017, we selected 36 laryngeal carcinoma patients with total laryngectomy in otolaryngology dead and neck surgery at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were investigated with the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). A total of 36 questionnaires were sent out and 34 of them were collected. Results? Among 34 patients, the total scores of SAS and SDS were (45.38±10.27) and (50.32±11.82) respectively. The score of "avoidance" coping style of patients after total laryngectomy was higher than that of norm with a statistical difference (P< 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SAS and SDS were negatively correlated with the total score of social support (P<0.05);SAS and SDS were positively correlated with the confrontation dimension of coping style (P<0.05), and were negatively correlated with the avoidance dimension (P< 0.05). Conclusions? After total laryngectomy, patients are with high levela of anxiety and depression. Medical staff should guide patients to take correct coping styles after surgery to face diseases, and improve patients' social support to relieve patients' negative emotions and total laryngectomy,and to promote the rehabilitation of diseases.
