Objective To track and evaluate the implementation and application of the occupational health standard Radiation shielding requirements for radiotherapy room—Part 4: Radiotherapy room of 252Cf neutron afterloading (GBZ/T 201.4-2015) by radiation health technical service agencies, medical institutions, health supervision agencies, and radiotherapy facility design units, and to provide a scientific basis for the further revision and implementation of this standard. Methods Following the Guideline for health standards tracking evaluation (WS/T 536-2017) and the project implementation plan, relevant practitioners were randomly selected for a questionnaire survey. The survey primarily focused on their awareness, standard training, application, and revision suggestions of GBZ/T 201.4-2015. The results were summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 168 evaluation questionnaires were collected from relevant practitioners in 28 provinces. Only 31.6% of the respondents reported being “well familiar” or “ familiar” with the standard, 27.4% of the respondents believed that the standard was widely used, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard could meet the needs of their work. Only 14.9% of the respondents had received relevant training on the standard, more than half of the respondents had not applied the standard within the past 10 years, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard "needs to be revised". Conclusion Due to the small number of californium-252 neutron afterloading radiotherapy devices in operation on the market, the overall awareness of the standard is low, suggesting that relevant authorities need to strengthen training and publicity of the standard, and that certain sections of the standard need to be revised or merged.

Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure, but postoperative infections and rejection reactions are key factors affecting the survival of the patients. Recently, the incidence of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection following transplantation has increased. B19V is a non-enveloped virus that primarily infects the upper respiratory tract and exhibits significant tropism for erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, leading to the lysis of erythrocytes and hematological abnormalities. After B19V viremia, it may further infect other cells, triggering inflammatory responses and tissue damage. B19V infection may lead to chronic anemia in organ transplant patients, thereby affecting the success of the transplant and the survival of the patients. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose and monitor B19V infection post-transplantation. Due to the immunosuppressive therapy following transplantation, traditional serological detection methods, such as IgM and IgG antibody tests, are often unreliable. In contrast, molecular biological detection, especially real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology, provides more accurate results. However, the diversity of B19V genotypes may lead to the missed detection of some genotypes. Thus, it is necessary to use different detection techniques to improve the diagnostic accuracy of B19 virus infections. Additionally, there is a need to explore more precise diagnostic methods to enhance the early identification and management of B19V infection, further improving the survival and life quality of the patients.

Radiomics is a new diagnostic and treatment technology,which can be employed to extract high-throughput radiomics features from CT,MR,and PET images and screen features closely related to diagnostic and treatment purposes,so as to accurately predict tumor or disease classification,prognosis,or genomic changes.Ki-67 is a type of nuclear protein,which is present only in nuclei of proliferative and dividing cells but not in those of quiescent phase cells;hence,it can be used as a predictor of cell proliferation and has been proven to be closely related to prognosis of lung cancer.This article reviews the mechanism and progress in radiomics research related to Ki-67 in lung cancer.

Objective :
To verify the feasibility of using a homemade lung phantom for quality control of Cyberknife by
comparing the measurement results of the homemade lung phantom and CIRS dynamic phantom in E2E testing of Cyberknife lung tracking.
Methods :
The patient treatment process was simulated, including CT positioning, plan design, irra-
diation implementation, film scanning, and analysis using the homemade phantom and CIRS phantom. The two phantoms
were measured five times using MLC under the S7 generation Cyberknife and five times using Iris under the M6 generation
Cyberknife. The differences in measurement results between the two phantoms were analyzed using independent sample t-test.
Results :
For the S7 generation Cyberknife, the statistical analysis of differences between the two phantoms in the detection values on the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, and total deviation showed P values of 0.236, 0.175, 0.289, and 0.668, respect-
ively. For the M6 generation Cyberknife, the statistical analysis showed P values of 0.880, 0.891, 0.573, and 0.433, respect-
ively. The P values were all > 0.05. Therefore, there were no statistically significant differences in the detection results
between the homemade lung phantom and the CIRS phantom under the S7 and M6 generation Cyberknife. The total deviation values were <1.5 mm.
Conclusion
The homemade lung phantom and CIRS phantom have consistent measurement
results in the E2E testing of Cyberknife lung tracking and meet the requirements of Report of AAPM TG-135 and WS 667-
2019 standard. Therefore, the homemade lung phantom is feasible for clinical quality control of Cyberknife.

Objective To explore the feasibility of quartz glass for radiotherapy dosimetry through the experimental study of the thermoluminescence characteristics of synthetic quartz glass. Methods The thermoluminescence glow curves of quartz glass under different annealing conditions were analyzed, the thermoluminescence characteristics of quartz glass were studied, and the measurement parameters were optimized. Using the Co-60 reference radiation field in the National Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory, the quartz glass samples under different annealing conditions were irradiated following the dose levels of radiotherapy, i.e., 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, and 10.0 Gy, respectively. According to the relationship between the absorbed dose of quartz glass and the relative thermoluminescence signal intensity, the linearity and dispersion of the dose response of quartz glass were obtained, and the feasibility of quartz glass for radiotherapy dosimetry was analyzed. Results The linear correlation coefficient of dose response of quartz glass under annealing condition of 430℃ for 10 min was 0.9984, and the dose response dispersion was 0.97% at the absorbed dose of 2 Gy. The linear correlation coefficient of dose response of quartz glass under annealing condition of 600℃ for 1 h was 0.9911, and the dose response dispersion was 1.4% at the absorbed dose of 2 Gy. Conclusion Preliminary results suggest that quartz glass with annealing condition of 430℃ for 10 min has the potential to be used for radiotherapy dosimetry.

Objective:
To discuss the feasibility of applying home-made auto quality assurance (AQA) phantom in Cyberknife AQA test.
Methods:
The same treatment plan for AQA test was designed in the Cyberknife treatment planning
system. The AQA tests were performed under the same conditions using the home-made AQA phantom and the AQA
phantom in the fourth-generation (G4) Cyberknife mode and the fifth-generation (VSI) Cyberknife mode, respectively, and each measurement was repeated five times to analyze and compare the differences in test results between the two phantoms.
Results:
The total deviations of the home-made AQA phantom and the AQA phantom in the AQA test under the G4 Cy-
berknife mode were (0.28 ± 0.12) mm and (0.28 ± 0.15) mm, respectively (P > 0.05); the test results under the VSI Cy-
berknife mode were (0.46 ± 0.19) mm and (0.50 ± 0.07) mm, respectively (P > 0.05); the total deviations of all test results
were smaller than 1.0 mm, which met the requirements of WS 667—2019 Specification for Testing of Quality Control in Ro-
botic Arm Radiotherapy Device.
Conclusion
The test results of the home-made AQA phantom and the AQA phantom are
consistent in the AQA test, and the home-made AQA phantom can be used for Cyberknife quality control.
