Objective:To investigate the dose characteristics of the Zeiss INTRABEAM system in air and water, providing dose reference for electronic brachytherapy.Methods:A Monte Carlo program was used to establish a three-dimensional model of a miniature X-ray source vacuum drift tube and a 4 cm spherical applicator. The process of electron beam bombardment on a gold target to generate X-rays was simulated, and parameters such as photon fluence spectrum, percentage depth dose, and half-value layer were calculated. Additionally, the radial dose uniformity in water was measured.Results:The average energy of X-rays at 3 cm in air was 20.8 keV, with a half-value layer of 0.08 mm Al. Under the influence of the applicator, the spectrum becomes hardened, with axial and radial average energies of 28.7 and 29.0 keV, respectively. In water, the percentage depth dose (PDD) curve follows an inverse cubic decay with depth, indicating strong dose concentration and rapid fall-off in near-field irradiation. The radial dose uniformity in water exceeded 99.5%.Conclusions:The INTRABEAM device emits low-energy X-rays characterized by shallow penetration depth, and concentrated dose delivery. Its highly uniform dose distribution ensures comprehensive coverage of the target area, making it particularly suitable for treating superficial tumors and for intraoperative radiotherapy at close range.

Objective To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of endovascular stent implantation in treating superior mesenteric artery stenosis.Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with superior mesenteric artery stenosis,who received endovascular stent implantation at the Chengdu Municipal Seventh People's Hospital of China from May 2019 to May 2023,were retrospectively analyzed,and its curative effect was evaluated.Results Successful endovascular stent implantation was accomplished in all the 21 patients.After surgery,the abdominal pain disappeared in all patients.All patients were followed up for 3-24 months.No obvious abdominal pain or other symptoms was observed in 19 patients.Two patients presented with abdominal pain again,and examination revealed that it was caused by an in-stent restenosis,and the abdominal pain disappeared after another interventional procedure.No severe complications such as intestinal necrosis or death occurred in all patients.Conclusion For superior mesenteric artery stenosis,endovascular stent implantation is a safe,effective and minimally-invasive treatment.

Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of catheter aspiration combined with catheterization thrombolysis in the treatment of acute renal infarction(ARI),so as to provide reference for the treatment of this disease.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and follow-up data of 11 ARI patients treated with catheter aspiration combined with catheter thrombolysis at our hospital during Jan.2019 and Jun.2023.Results Among the 11 patients,upon admission,7 manifested with abdominal pain,5 with lumbar pain,5 with nausea,and 1 with fever.All patients were successfully treated with catheter aspiration combined with catheterization and thrombolysis.After thrombolysis,computed tomography angiography(CTA)showed the renal artery trunk and branch vessels.In 11 patients,the renal artery,branch artery and splenic artery branch vessels were patent.D2 aggregates returned to the normal level 1 month after surgery(＜0.5 mg/L).During the follow-up of 3,6,12 months,no previous symptoms were observed.Ultrasound or CTA showed that the renal artery remained unobstructed.Conclusion The use of catheter aspiration combined with catheter thrombolysis for the treatment of ARI caused by renal artery thrombosis is effective,minimally invasive,and worth clinical promotion.

Objective To summarize the effect of treatment for common bile duct stones by laparoscope combined with choledocho-scope, and to assess the feasibility in judgment the patency of common bile duct by stone basket. Methods To review and analyze the clini-cal data of 32 patients who were given choledocholithiasis operation through laparoscope combined with choledochoscope,and the operation method,effect and complications were compared. Results In this research,32 choledocholithiasis operations were carried out using laparo-scope combined with choledochoscope from January 2013 to January 2014. The stones of 31 patients were taken out completely,and there were no stone in the other patient. All 32 patients recovered without any complication. After operation,all 32 patients showed unrestricted inferior bile common duct and no residual stone by T-tube cholangiography. Conclusion It showed satisfactory effect in treatment of choledocholithi-asis by laparoscope combined with choledochoscope. Compared to traditional laparotomy,which showed less injure and faster recovery. It is a simple and feasible method to judge the patency of common bile duct using large size stone basket combined with methylene blue injection.
