Objective:To determine the external bremsstrahlung doses and doses to radiation workers in selective internal radiation therapy using 90Y resin microspheres ( 90Y-SIRT). Methods:Using an AT1123 X-ray and gamma radiation dosimeter, the ambient dose equivalent rates of bremsstrahlung at distances of 30 and 100 cm from the 90Y drug with and without lead shielding were measured. The attenuation factors of 90Y bremsstrahlung attributed to lead cans and lead aprons were calculated. Furthermore, the dose rates at corresponding sites were theoretically estimated using formula. Finally, the annual doses to radiation workers were estimated based on estimated and measured bremsstrahlung doses. Results:The measured dose rates of 90Y bremsstrahlung ranged from 0.19 to 0.26 μSv·h -1·GBq -1 at a distance of 1 m from the surface of the lead shield and from 1.00 to 1.60 μSv·h -1·GBq -1 at a distance of 1 m from the surface of the unshielded penicillin bottle, plexiglass transport container, injection delivery box, and the patient. The deviations between the calculated and measured bremsstrahlung doses were mostly close to or less than ±20%. Under conditions of 200 patients treated annually, 3 GBq for each bottle of 90Y resin microspheres, and a maximum dose of 2 GBq per patient, the estimated annual effective doses to nuclear medicine technologists, interventional injection physicians, and ward-round physicians were 2.24, 1.04 and 0.22 mSv, respectively, and the annual equivalent doses to their hands were 49.9, 25.5 and 2.06 mSv, respectively. The measured attenuation factors of 90Y bremsstrahlung attributed to the lead can of 6.4 mmPb equivalent and the lead apron of 0.5 mmPb equivalent ranged from 0.13 to 0.15 and from 0.45 to 0.50, respectively. Conclusions:Under normal working conditions, the annual effective doses to the radiation workers in 90Y-SIRT will not exceed 5 mSv. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) or covering the injection sites of patients using a lead apron during 90Y injection can reduce the doses to the workers by approximately 50%.

Objective:To analyze the short-term clinical efficacy and safety of arsenic trioxide (ATO) combined with a modified N7 induction regimen in the treatment of children with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB).Methods:This study was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter phase Ⅱ clinical study. Sixty-seven high-risk NB children from eight units of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Wuhan Children′s Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Hainan General Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Kunming Children′s Hospital, Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Center Hospital were enrolled from January 2019 to August 2023 and were treated with ATO combined with a modified N7 induction regimen. The efficacy and adverse effects at the end of induction chemotherapy were assessed and analyzed, and the differences in the clinical characteristics were further compared between the treatment-responsive and treatment-unresponsive groups by using the Fisher′s exact test.Results:Among 67 high-risk NB children, there were 40 males (60%) and 27 females (40%), with the age of disease onset of 3.5 (2.6, 4.8) years. Primary NB sites were mostly in retroperitoneum (including adrenal gland) (56/67, 84%) and the common metastases sites at initial diagnosis were distant lymph node in 25 cases (37%),bone in 48 cases (72%),bone marrow in 56 cases (84%) and intracalvarium in 3 cases (4%). MYCN gene amplification were detected in 28 cases (42%). At the end of induction, 33 cases (49%) achieved complete remission, 29 cases (43%) achieved partial remission, 1 case (1%) with stable disease, and 4 cases (6%) were assessed as progressive disease (PD). The objective remission rate was 93% (62/67) and the disease control rate was 94% (63/67). The percentage of central system metastases at the initial diagnosis was higher in the treatment-unresponsive group than in the treatment-responsive group (2/5 vs. 2% (1/62), P=0.013), whereas the difference in MYCN gene amplification was not statistically significant between two groups (3/5 vs.40% (25/62), P=0.786). Grade Ⅲ or higher adverse reactions during the induction chemotherapy period were myelosuppression occurred in 60 cases (90%), gastrointestinal symptoms occurred in 33 cases (49%), infections occurred in 20 cases (30%), hepatotoxicity occurred in 4 cases (6%), and cardiovascular toxicity occurred in 1 case (2%). There were no chemotherapy-related deaths. Conclusion:ATO combined with N7-modified induction regimen had a superiority in efficacy and safety, which deserved further promotion in clinical practice.

Objective: Self-determination theory (SDT) deems that people have three causality orientations: autonomy orientation, control orientation, and impersonal orientation. Previous studies suggested that lower autonomy orientation or higher control and impersonal orientations may be associated with more addictive behaviors. Our study aimed to investigate if these associations exist in Internet gaming disorder (IGD), and if sensation seeking, anxiety, and depression could influence the associations between causality orientations and IGD symptoms. Methods: A total of 1,400 college students completed the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale, General Causality Orientation Scale, Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire. Correlation, multiple linear regressions, structural equation model (SEM) analyses, and moderation analyses were conducted to explore the associations. Results: The control and impersonal orientations were positively associated with IGD symptoms, while the autonomy orientation was negatively associated with them. Moreover, SEM analyses showed that the autonomy-IGD relationship was totally mediated by anxiety and depression, the impersonal-IGD relationship was partially mediated by anxiety, and the control-IGD relationship was partially mediated by depression. Finally, the effects of causality orientations on IGD were moderated by sensation seeking. Conclusion Overall, autonomy orientation is linked to fewer gaming problems, whereas control and impersonal orientations are associated with more gaming problems. Moreover, the relationships between causality orientations and IGD symptoms are mediated by anxiety and depression and moderated by sensation seeking. Our findings inform theory on the motivations of gaming behaviors and may shed light on the prevention and intervention of IGD from the perspective of SDT.
