Objective To investigate the influence of helical tomographic radiotherapy plans with different combinations of lead gate width,pitch and algorithms on threading effects.Methods A target model was established with a Cheese Phantom used as the simulated human body,then three lead gate widths(1.0,2.5,and 5.0 cm),six screw pitches(0.143,0.172,0.215,0.287,0.430,and 0.500)and two computational grids(Fine algorithm and Normal algorithm)were respectively combined for designing the helical tomography radiotherapy plans.The radiotherapy plans with a pitch of 0.143,0.172,0.215,0.287 or 0.430 were enrolled into an experimental group,and the plans with a pitch of 0.500 were divided into a control group.The dosimetric parameters including maximum dose(Dmax),minimum dose(Dmin)and mean dose(Dmean)of the target area PTV1 and PTV2 were evaluated by the dose volume histogram(DVH).The dose homogeneity index(HI)of the target area was calculated,and the single rotation time and total treatment time of each plan were recorded and counted.SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results No significant threading effect appeared regardless of the pitch value when the lead gate width was 1.0 cm.The threading effects in the experimental group were weaker than those in the control group when the lead gate width was 2.5 or 5.0 cm.The threading effect gradually rose with the pitch increased when the lead gate width was 5.0 cm.The most significant difference was found between the threading effect in case of the screw pitch being 0.500 and that with the screw pitch being 0.143,with the differenes being statistically obvious(P<0.05).The lead gate width had significant effects on the Dmax,Dmin,Dmean and HI of PTV1 and PTV2.When the lead gate width was 5.0 cm,high HI value and uneven dose distribution were detected and lowered screw pitch weakened the threading effect.The single rotation time first remained constant and then increased with the screw pitch was enlarged,with the changing points occurring in case of the screw pitches of 0.287 and 0.430.With a certain lead gate width,the treatment time for plans was shortened with the decrease of the pitches in case of the pritches lower than 0.287,and tended to be constant after the screw pitches reached 0.287.The changes of the computational grid had no significant effects on the results of radiotherapy plans when the lead gate width and screw pitch were kept constant.Conclusion When designing a spiral tomotherapy plan with conventional doses,a lead gate width of 1.0 or 2.5 cm and a screw pitch of 0.287 or 0.430 should be selected in order to minimize the threading effect while ensuring the efficiency of plan implementation.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(8):58-66]

Knowledge about the neuronal dynamics and the projectome are both essential for understanding how the neuronal network functions in concert. However, it remains challenging to obtain the neural activity and the brain-wide projectome for the same neurons, especially for neurons in subcortical brain regions. Here, by combining in vivo microscopy and high-definition fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography, we have developed strategies for mapping the brain-wide projectome of functionally relevant neurons in the somatosensory cortex, the dorsal hippocampus, and the substantia nigra pars compacta. More importantly, we also developed a strategy to achieve acquiring the neural dynamic and brain-wide projectome of the molecularly defined neuronal subtype. The strategies developed in this study solved the essential problem of linking brain-wide projectome to neuronal dynamics for neurons in subcortical structures and provided valuable approaches for understanding how the brain is functionally organized via intricate connectivity patterns.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics,coexisting gene mutations and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients with GATA2 gene mutation.Methods:The clinical data of 370 newly diagnosed AML patients treated in our hospital from January 2008 to January 2021 was analyzed retrospectively,the next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect the mutated genes in those patients.The clinical characteristics of AML patients with GATA2 mutations,the co-mutated genes of GATA2 mutations,and the effect of GATA2 mutation on prognosis were analyzed.Results:A total of 23 patients(6.2%)with GATA2 mutation was detected in 370 AML patients.Compared with GATA2 non-mutation group,patients in GATA2 mutation group were mostly normal karyotypes(P=0.037)and in low-risk cytogenetic stratification(P=0.028).The incidence of CEBPAdm and NRAS in GATA2 mutation group was significantly higher than that in GATA2 non-mutation group(P=0.010,P=0.009).There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of sex,age,white blood cell count(WBC),platelet count,hemoglobin,bone marrow(BM)blast,induction chemotherapy regimen and CR rate(P>0.05).Among the 23 patients with GATA2 mutation,the most common co-mutated genes were CEBPAdm,NRAS(both 39.1%),NPM1,FLT3,TET2,WT1(all 17.4%),ASXL1 and IDH1(both 13.0%).Survival analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in 5-year overall survival(OS)and leukemia-free survival(LFS)rates between patients with and without GATA2 mutations in whole cohort(n=370)(P=0.306,P=0.308).Among 306 patients without CEBPAdm,the 5-year OS and LFS rates in GATA2 mutation group showed an increasing trend compared with GATA2 non-mutation group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.092,P=0.056).Among 64 patients with CEBPAdm,there was no statistically significant difference in 5-year OS rate between the GATA2 mutation group and the GATA2 non-mutation group(P=0.104),but the 5-year LFS rate of the GATA2 mutation group was significantly decreased(P=0.047).Among the 23 patients with GATA2 mutation,16 cases received the"3+7"induction regimen,of which 12 cases received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT);7 cases received the"DCAG"induction regimen,of which 3 cases received allo-HSCT.The CR rate was not statistically different between the"3+7"regimen group and the"DCAG"regimen group(P=1.000).The 5-year OS rate and LFS rate in the transplantation group were significantly higher than the chemotherapy group(P=0.021,P=0.020).Conclusion:GATA2 mutation is more common in AML patients with normal karyotype and low-risk cytogenetic stratification,and it is significantly associated with CEBPAdm and NRAS co-mutations.The prognostic significance of GATA2 is influenced by CEBPAdm.The choice of"3+7"or"DCAG"induction regimen in patients with GATA2 mutation does not affect their CR rate,while the choice of allo-HSCT can significantly improved the prognosis compared with chemotherapy only.
