Objective To compare the ability of single-phase,dual-phase,and triphasic models in forecasting postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF)after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD)using radiomics based on triphasic enhanced CT.Methods A total of 181 patients who underwent multi-phase enhanced CT prior to PD were retrospectively selected,and the collection phase included non-contrast,arterial phase(AP),and equilibrium phase(EP).3D Slicer software was utilized to segment the region of interest(ROI)for the postoperative pancreatic remnant on each phase.Radiomics feature extraction was performed using R software,followed by feature selection through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression with five-fold cross-validation to prevent model overfitting.The effective features selected were combined in a weighted linear manner to obtain a Radiomics score(Radscore).The patients were divided into training set and test set in a 7︰3 ratio.Logistic regression was employed to construct seven POPF prediction models(three single-phase,three dual-phase,and one triphasic models)based on different phase combinations.The diagnostic performance of the models was evaluated using the area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,accuracy(ACC),sensitivity(SEN),and specificity(SPE).The DeLong test was applied to compare the differences in AUC among different models.Results After LASSO regression,24 effective features associated with POPF were selected from different phases.In the test set,the triphasic model exhibited the highest AUC and ACC(AUC=0.76,ACC=0.808).The calibration curve demonstrated the strongest agreement between the estimated probabilities and observed probabilities for the triphasic model.The decision curve analysis(DCA)curve indicated that the triphasic model had the largest threshold range with a higher net benefit.Conclusion Compared with single-phase and dual-phase models,the triphasic model based on enhanced CT provides better prediction of POPF after PD,aiding clinical decision-making and improve prognosis.

Objective To investigate the impact of immobilization devices and treatment couches on the planned dose in stereotactic body radiation therapy(SBRT).Methods A retrospective study was conducted involving 23 SBRT patients,all of whom underwent CT simulation with foam padding or vacuum bag immobilization.For each patient,two sets of contours were outlined on CT images:one encompassing only the patient's skin(Body),and the other including the skin plus immobilization devices(BodyF).Initially,a reference plan(noFC)meeting clinical requirements was generated based on the Body contour.Without altering the plan(noFC)parameters and field setups,plan calculations were performed separately based on three different contours:BodyF(with immobi-lization devices only),Body+C(with treatment couch only),and BodyF+C(with both immobilization devices and treatment couch),yielding plan(F),plan(C),and plan(FC),respectively.By comparing the target and skin dose parameters across these four plans,the effects of immobilization devices and treatment couches on the planned dose were evaluated.Results Compared to plans based solely on the patient's skin contour,plans incorporating immobilization devices showed reduced high-dose,prescription dose coverage,and average dose in the target volume.Notably,the difference in the percentage of the planning target volume(PTV)receiving 105%of the prescribed dose(PTV/V105%p(%))between plan(FC)and plan(noFC)could reach 61.86%.Conversely,plans with immobilization devices increased both the maximum and average skin doses.Specifically,the dose to 10 cc of skin within 2 mm of the surface(body 2 mm/D 10 cc(Gy))showed a 21.36%difference between plan(FC)and plan(noFC).For all target and skin parameters,no statistically significant differences were observed between plan(C)and plan(noFC).Among plans with immobilization devices,the minimum distance from the target to the skin correlated inversely with skin dose,indicating greater impact on skin dose with closer proximity.Conclusions Immobilization devices in SBRT lead to beam attenuation and altered build-up effects,significantly reducing target dose parameters while increasing skin dose.The closer the target is to the skin,the greater the impact of immobiliza-tion devices on skin dose.It is recommended to incorporate immobilization devices into the contour design during radiotherapy planning.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
