Objective:To investigate the current status of application of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in China, aiming to provide reference for promoting the development of this technology.Methods:From January to March 2024, a questionnaire was designed and distributed online, targeting member units of the Professional Committee of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment, which covers 175 radiotherapy units in 30 provinces and regions nationwide. The survey focused on the current application of SBRT technology and its utilization in the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A statistical description of the survey results was presented.Results:Of 175 questionnaires distributed, a total of 130 valid responses were collected, with an effective response rate of 74.3%. A total of 81.5% (106/130) of the units had implemented SBRT technology, and 99.1% of the respondents believed it was necessary to further promote SBRT technology, yet the actual training rate was only 67.0%. SBRT equipment configuration: there were a total of 267 SBRT equipment, featuring a diverse range of types, with traditional linear accelerators as the mainstays, accounting for 76.0% ( n=203), followed by 12.0% ( n=32) for TOMO, 6.4% ( n=17) for Cyber knife, 3.7% ( n=10) for Gamma knife, and proton/heavy ion equipment at 1.5% ( n=4), respectively. The percentage of units with multi-leaf collimator leaf widths ≤0.5 cm was 93.4% (99/106). The application of SBRT: the first radiotherapy unit commenced SBRT in 2000, and this technology entered a period of rapid growth after 2015, sustaining a steady increase over the past decade; SBRT technology was mainly applied in the brain, lung, liver, bone, adrenal gland, and kidney, with application rates of 97.2%, 94.3%, 86.8%, 71.7%, 56.6%, and 27.4%, respectively, while the application rates for the pancreas, metastatic lymph nodes, and other parts were less than 5%. Current status of SBRT technology application in early-stage NSCLC: 90.6% (96/106) of units had implemented SBRT; pre-treatment multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment accounted for 77% (74/96); the proportion of application units for peripheral and central type lung cancer lesions both exceeded 57.3%, whereas the application rate for ultra-central type and lesions > 5 cm lung cancer was less than 30%; there was significant variability in the selection of reference guidelines, dose fractionation patterns, and the concept of central type among units. Conclusions:The development of SBRT technology in China is in a period of steady growth, but several issues such as low training rate and lack of standardization still exist. The survey results provide important reference for clinical training and promotion of SBRT technology in China.

Pain is a distressing experience in sensory,emotional,cognitive,and social dimensions associated with existed or potential tissue damage.Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of acupuncture analgesia,but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.Bioelectrical signals,as one of the basic characteristics of life activities,play a key role in the process of acu-puncture analgesia.Through advanced neurophysiological techniques and multimodal imaging,it has been found that acupuncture can trigger specific changes in bioelectric signals,thus producing analgesic effects.With the rapid development of modern medi-cal technology,the study of bioelectrical signals has gradually delved into the cellular and molecular levels,providing more possi-bilities to reveal the analgesic mechanism of acupuncture.This review focuses on the close connection between bioelectrical sig-naling phenomena and acupuncture analgesia mechanism,summarizes the current research status of bioelectrical signaling phe-nomena in acupuncture analgesia mechanism by collating related literature.The future research directions were prospected,ai-ming to provide theoretical basis and new ideas for further understanding and applying acupuncture analgesia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of follicular lymphoma (FL) patients with different primary sites using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.Methods:Clinical data of 7167 patients with early-stage FL (stage I-II) from the SEER database between 2000 and 2015 were respectively analyzed. Primary sites were divided into intranodal and extranodal types. Intranodal primary sites included supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes (LN), subphrenic lymph nodes and Waldeyer's ring. Extranodal primary sites consisted of skin, gastrointestinal tract, duodenum, head and neck, other sites. Prognostic factors and overall survival (OS) in patients with different primary sites were analyzed. OS rate was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method and survival difference between primary sites was compared with log-rank test. Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) and multi-variable analysis were applied to adjust for confounding factors. Multivariate Cox regression analysis of influencing factors of OS was performed.Results:The median age was 63 years old, with the median follow-up time of 63 months. There was no difference in prognosis among the intranodal groups or between the intranodal and extranodal groups. The 10-year OS rates of the supradiaphragmatic lymph LN ( n=2146), subdiaphragmatic LN ( n=2811), and the Waldeyer's ring ( n=151) groups were 70.7%, 69.9% and 73.4%, respectively ( P=0.422 for infradiaphragmatic LN vs. supradiaphragmatic LN, P=1.000 for Waldeyer's ring vs. supradiaphragmatic LN), and 70.3% and 68.9% for intranodal ( n=5108) and extranodal ( n=2059), respectively. There was no significant difference in OS between the groups ( P=0.581) after IPTW adjustment. The most common primary sites in extranodal disease were skin, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck, and duodenum. The 10-year OS for skin, gastrointestinal tract, and cutaneous was 74.2%, 74.7%, and 87.3%, respectively, significantly higher than 55.6% for other sites (duodenum vs. others sites, gastrointestinal vs. others sites, skin vs. others sites: all P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that difference in OS was not significant among the intranodal groups or between the intranodal and extranodal groups. However, different extranodal primary site was an independent prognostic factor for OS. Conclusions:Early FL patients with supradiaphragmatic LN, subdiaphragmatic LN and Waldeyer's ring, and between the intranodal and extranodal primary sites obtain similar prognosis. However, early-stage FL patients with different extranodal primary sites have prognostic differences. The prognosis of primary skin, gastrointestinal tract and duodenum is significantly better than that of other extranodal primary sites.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and adverse events of different postoperative radiotherapy strategies (adjuvant radiotherapy versus salvage radiotherapy) and different irradiation fields (prostate bed versus prostate bed + pelvic radiation) in patients after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.Methods:This retrospective analysis included clinical data from 115 patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after radical prostatectomy at Beijing Hospital between March 2014 and September 2023. Among them, 40 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy, and 75 received salvage radiotherapy. And 74 patients received irradiation to both the prostate bed and pelvic (prostate bed + pelvic radiation group), while 41 patients received irradiation to the prostate bed alone (prostate bed irradiation group). Comparison was made between the adjuvant radiotherapy group and salvage radiotherapy group, as well as between prostate bed + pelvic radiation group and prostate bed irradiation group, in terms of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), and the incidence of adverse events. Clinical characteristics were compared using the chi-square test. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Prognostic factors affecting survival were analyzed using Cox multivariate regression.Results:The median follow-up duration was 73.1 months. The 5-year OS, PFS and LRRFS rates for the entire cohort were 96.4%, 86.4%, and 93.2%, respectively. A total of 59 patients (51.3%) experienced grade 1-2 acute radiotherapy-related adverse events, while 43 patients (37.4%) experienced grade 1-2 late radiotherapy-related adverse events. No grade ≥ 3 late adverse events were observed. There were no statistically significant differences in OS, PFS, or LRRFS between the adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy groups ( P = 0.807, 0.996, and 0.976, respectively), or in the incidence of grade 1-2 acute or late adverse events ( P > 0.05). The OS rate in the prostate bed + pelvic radiation group was significantly lower than that in the prostate bed irradiation group ( P = 0.036), while no significant differences were found in PFS or LRRFS ( P = 0.109 and 0.190, respectively), or in the incidence of grade 1-2 acute or late adverse events ( P > 0.05). Multivariable analysis showed no statistically significant differences in OS, PFS, or LRRFS between the adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy groups, or between the prostate bed and prostate bed + pelvic irradiation groups ( P = 0.756, 0.341, 0.605; 0.938, 0.987, 0.605, respectively). Conclusions:In the era of modern IMRT, both adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy, as well as prostate bed and prostate bed + pelvic irradiation, demonstrate similar efficacy and safety profiles after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Treatment outcomes were favorable, and adverse events were minimal.

Objective:To predict the monthly incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Hebei Province by using the generalized additive model (GAM).Methods:The incidence data of HFRS in Hebei from 2006 to 2020 were collected, and the correlation coefficients between meteorological factors and the monthly incidence of HFRS in Hebei were analyzed by Spearman's correlation, and the meteorological factors were lagged by 0-6 orders, and those with the largest absolute values of the correlation coefficients were screened to be included in the multifactorial GAM to evaluate the effects of meteorological factors.Results:The monthly incidence of HFRS had the strongest correlation with monthly mean air temperature at lag order 2, monthly mean wind speed at lag order 0, monthly mean sunshine at lag order 4, monthly mean precipitation at lag order 2 and monthly mean humidity at lag order 1, which were diagnosed by the variance inflation factor and included in the multifactorial GAM, and the results showed significant differences among the factors (all P<0.001), and they showed non-linear relationships with the monthly incidence of HFRS. Mean monthly temperature was an important factor influencing HFRS incidence. Mean monthly air temperature, mean monthly sunshine and mean monthly wind speed were negatively associated with HFRS incidence, whereas mean monthly precipitation and mean monthly humidity were positively associated with HFRS incidence. Conclusions:There was a complex non-linear relationship between meteorological factors and the incidence of HFRS. GAM incorporated with lagged meteorological factors can be used to predict the incidence of HFRS in Hebei.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive inhibition in children with hearing impairment and the impact of different types of materials on their cognitive inhibition.Methods From June,2024 to January,2025,21 children with hearing impairment from Liaocheng Special Education School and 20 typically developing children from Guotun Town Central Primary School in Yanggu County,Liao-cheng were randomly selected.A directed forgetting task was used in a mixed experimental design.The experi-mental procedure was presented using Eprime 3.0,and recall performance was recorded through paper-and-pen-cil tests.Results Three children with hearing impairment and two typically developing children were dropped down.The children with hearing impairment scored significantly lower on recall tasks than the typically developing children(F=13.545,P<0.001).In the typically developing children,recall performance under the memory condition was sig-nificantly lower than under the forgetting condition(P<0.001).In the children with hearing impairment,there was no significant difference in recall performance between the memory condition and the forgetting condition(P>0.05).Regardless of whether the materials were letters or figures,all the children showed significantly high-er recall scores under the forgetting condition compared to the memory condition(P<0.01).Conclusion Children with hearing impairment exhibit weaker cognitive inhibition compared to typically developing chil-dren.The type of materials doesn't impact individuals'cognitive inhibition performance.
