Objective To evaluate the influence of the wearing position of dosimeters outside lead aprons on effective dose estimation for interventional radiology workers, analyze the differences between single and double dosimeter methods in effective dose estimation, and provide a reference for the personal dose monitoring of interventional radiology workers. Methods This study employed a combined approach of on-site monitoring and Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the impact of the wearing position of dosimeters outside lead aprons on effective dose estimation, as well as the differences between effective doses measured using single and double dosimeters. Interventional radiology workers wore dosimeters at three positions: the neck outside the lead collar, the left chest outside the lead apron, and inside the lead apron. Effective doses were estimated using the single and double dosimeter methods specified in GBZ 128-2019 Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational external exposure, and the impact of different wearing positions on the estimation results was compared. Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations were used to model dose distributions at the neck outside the lead collar and at the left chest outside the lead apron for operators performing cardiovascular interventions under tube voltages of 70, 80, 90, and 100 kVp and exposure angles of posteroanterior (PA), anteroposterior (AP), and left anterior oblique 45° (LAO45°) positions. The study assessed the impact of dosimeter wearing position on effective dose estimation. Results Monte Carlo simulations demonstrated that neck doses consistently exceeded left chest doses across different tube voltages and exposure angles, with neck-to-chest dose ratios of 0.80-0.90. Under identical tube voltage conditions, AP showed the highest doses, followed by LAO45°, and PA demonstrated the lowest doses. The single and double dosimeter methods exhibited consistent patterns in effective dose estimation. Single dosimeter method generally yielded higher effective doses with relative deviations of 9.9% to 83%, though these deviations decreased under high tube voltages. Field monitoring data indicated that most interventional radiology workers maintained relative deviations between single and double dosimeter calculations below 6%, with neck-to-chest dose ratios of 0.95-1.1. The estimation patterns remained consistent across both methods, though single dosimeter method showed slightly higher results. Conclusion Under PA, AP, or LAO45°, the doses at the neck consistently exceeded those at the left chest. Therefore, when wearing lead protective equipment, the dosimeter should be properly positioned at the neck outside the lead collar to accurately reflect the radiation doses of surgeons. Some interventional radiology workers improperly positioned the dosimeter (intended at the neck outside the lead collar) at the left chest outside the lead apron, and this may result in an underestimation of the effective dose.

Objectives:To explore the clinical efficacy and the postoperative recurrence rate of the vertebral"Collapse"lesion resection for treating thoracolumbar spinal metastases compared to separation surgery.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 78 patients with thoracolumbar spinal metastases treated at Tianjin University General Hospital from December 2018 to December 2022.There were 42 males(53.8％)and 36 females(46.2％),with a mean age of 61.9±10.6 years(range 34-76 years).The patients were divided into separation surgery group(21 cases)and"Collapse"resection group(57 cases).Two to three weeks after surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy or targeted drugs were given according to the type of primary tumor after wound healing.The data on operative time,intraoperative blood loss,drainage volume,Frankel classification for spinal cord injury,and visual analogue scale(VAS)scores for pain preoperatively,7d after operation and at final follow-up,as well as local recurrence rates and perioperative complications were collected.Results:The operative time and intraoperative blood loss in the"Collapse"resection group(328.7±89.2min,782.5±89.2mL)were significantly higher than those in the separation surgery group(243.2±89.2min,585.7±89.2mL)(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative drainage volume between the two groups("Collapse"resection group 698.2±230.2mL vs separation surgery group 674.7±180.7mL)(P＞0.05).During follow-up,all the patients in the separation surgery group received stereotactic radiotherapy postoperatively;While 10 patients(21.2％)in the"Collapse"resection group underwent radiotherapy,and the remaining 47(78.8％)patients received targeted,immunological,or chemotherapy as part of comprehensive treatment.The recurrence rate in the separation surgery group was approximately 9.5％(2/21).Among the patients who received"Collapse"resection plus radiotherapy,there was 1 local recurrence,resulting in a recurrence rate of 10％(1/10),while the patients who didn't receive radiotherapy experienced 3 local recurrences,with a recurrence rate of 6.4％(3/47).The overall recurrence rate for patients in the"Collapse"resection group was 7.0％(4/57).There was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between the two surgical procedures(P=0.708).In the separation surgery group,postoperative complications included one case of wound infection,one case of wound dehiscence two months after postoperative radiotherapy,and one case of epidural hematoma causing compression.In the group of"Collapse"resection,complications included one case of cerebrospinal fluid leakage with secondary infection and one case of superficial wound infection.VAS scores on 7d postoperatively significantly decreased compared to preoperative scores in both groups(P＜0.05),and there were significant differences in VAS scores at final follow-up compared to preoperative scores(P＜0.05).No statistical difference in VAS scores was observed between the two groups on 7d postoperatively and at final follow-up(P＞0.05).Except for 5 Frankel A-D grade patients with no significant improvement in neurological function,the remaining 73 patients showed no deterioration in neurological function,with varying degrees of recovery of at least 1 grade,yielding an improvement rate of 93.6％(73/78).Conclusions:The vertebral"Collapse"resection for thoracolumbar spinal tumors does not require postoperative radiotherapy,as the tumor recurrence rate is comparable to that of patients treated with separation surgery followed by radiotherapy.

The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges in quality digitization for complex multi-stage processes, especially in small-sample systems. Here, an intelligent quality prediction and diagnostic (IQPD) framework was developed and applied to Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, utilizing four years of data collected from four production units, covering the entire process from raw materials to finished products. In this framework, a novel path-enhanced double ensemble quality prediction model (PeDGAT) is proposed, which combines a graph attention network and path information to encode inter-unit long-range and sequential dependencies. Additionally, the double ensemble strategy enhances model stability in small samples. Compared to global traditional models, PeDGAT achieves state-of-the-art results, with an average improvement of 13.18% and 87.67% in prediction accuracy and stability on three indicators. Additionally, a more in-depth diagnostic model leveraging grey correlation analysis and expert knowledge reduces reliance on large samples, offering a panoramic view of attribute relationships across units and improving process transparency. Finally, the IQPD framework integrates into a Human-Cyber-Physical system, enabling faster decision-making and real-time quality adjustments for Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, a product with annual sales exceeding 100 million CNY. This facilitates the transition from experience-driven to data-driven manufacturing.

Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) have emerged as a promising modality in precision oncology, enabling targeted delivery of cytotoxic payloads while minimizing off-target toxicity. The integration of covalent warheads, such as those based on sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) chemistry, enhances drug-target residence time and tumor accumulation. However, existing screening methods for covalent peptide (CP) libraries require post-translational warhead conjugation, limiting throughput. Here, we present an integrated mRNA display platform that incorporates covalent warheads during ribosomal synthesis, enabling efficient screening of ultra-diverse covalent macrocyclic peptide libraries (>10¹³ variants). This approach, using site-specific incorporation of N-chloroacetyl-d-phenylalanine and fluorosulfate-l-tyrosine, accelerated the discovery of irreversibly binding (K _i = 3.58 μmol/L) Nectin-4-targeting peptide CP-N1-N₃ via proximity-triggered SuFEx. The peptide was further conjugated to cytotoxic payloads, yielding the covalent PDC CP-N1-MMAE with potent cytotoxicity (IC₅₀ ≈ 43 nmol/L) against MDA-MB-468 cells. This platform establishes a new paradigm for precision covalent drug discovery.

The qualification rate (including excellence) of the municipal-level gross alpha/beta detection in 2022 and 2024 were lower than in 2023( χ2=29.93, P < 0.01). Among all regions, the 2024 personal dose monitoring intercomparison result showed that the qualification rate (including excellence) in East China was higher than in Southwest and Northwest China ( χ2=15.62, P <0.01). East China also outperformed Northwest China ( χ2=16.21, P <0.01). In the 2022 gross alpha/beta detection capability intercomparison, the qualification rate (including excellent performance) in East China and South China was higher than in Northwest China ( χ2=23.76, 11.22, P<0.01). Overall, East China showed relatively higher qualification rate in intercomparison result of both personal dose monitoring and radiation detection (including excellence), while Northwest China showed lower qualification rates (including excellence). Conclusions:Although the radiation detection capability of disease control and prevention institutions at all levels has improved in recent years, there are still insufficience of detection capabilities at some municipal- and county-level laboratories and even unbalance between different regionas. Policy support should prioritize underdeveloped areas, such as municipal- and county-level institutions and the Northwest, and enhance the technical proficiency and quality management of laboratory personnel.

Objective To preliminarily design a wide-energy-spectrum CR-39 solid-state nuclear track individual neutron dosimeter with different energy sections. Methods The thickness of the converter was optimized using the Monte Carlo SRIM program to broaden the energy range of the dosimeter. The self-made wide-energy-spectrum CR-39 individual neutron dosimeter was calibrated using ²⁴¹Am-Be, ²⁵²Cf, and thermal neutron sources to evaluate its dosimetric performance, including linearity, energy response, and neutron energy resolution. Results The linear correlation coefficient of the measurement system exceeded 0.98. The relative deviations of the energy response were 35.0% for blank section and 42.0% for polyethylene section, falling within the range of −50% to + 100% and meeting the monitoring requirements. The detection sensitivity for thermal neutron dose was 67 137.2 tr·cm⁻²·mSv⁻¹, and the detection sensitivity for thermal neutron fluence was 0.98 × 10⁻³ tr·n⁻¹, demonstrating good thermal neutron detection capability. Conclusion The self-made wide-energy-spectrum CR-39 individual neutron dosimeter fundamentally meets the requirements for individual neutron dose monitoring and is suitable for individual neutron dose monitoring in the energy range of thermal neutrons (up to approximately 15 MeV).

Objective To identify the reasons why the monitored personal doses of radiation worker A in an institution exceeded the investigation level in 2023 and 2024, and remind workers to wear personal dosimeters in a standardized manner in scenarios such as work and business trips to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the monitoring data. Methods A thermoluminescence measurement system was used to read the personal dosimeters worn by radiation workers. Investigations were carried out on personnel whose doses exceeded the investigation level described in the “Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational external exposure” (GBZ 128—2019). The reasons for doses exceeding the investigation level were analyzed using additional dosimeters and conducting on-site experiments. Results In 2023 and 2024, radiation worker A recorded a total of 5 personal dose equivalents exceeding the investigation level (1.23 mSv) over a total of 8 monitoring cycles (each lasting 90 days). Following one cycle where the dose exceeded the investigation level, two additional dosimeters (each for a 30-day cycle) were issued to worker A, revealing readings below the investigation level for the 30-day monitoring cycle (0.41 mSv). The reading for the dosimeter was 2-3 μSv per time when passing through an X-ray security scanner, and approximately 2.10 mSv per time when passing through a computed tomography security scanner. Conclusion Within a 90-day monitoring cycle, a single exposure of a personal dosimeter to a computed tomography security scanner can result in a dose exceeding the investigation level. Radiation workers should avoid placing dosimeters in backpacks or suitcases that pass through computed tomography security scanners during business trips, so as to reduce the impact of security scanner irradiation on personal dose monitoring.
