Objective:To develop and design a during-treatment records auto-review program to comply the quality assurance(QA)requirement of radiotherapy chart auditing,and thereby improve the review efficiency and accuracy.Methods:Based on the items the guideline required,the Aria Oncology Information System database backup files was analyzed by Java,Vue,and etc.languages and the corresponding review logic was formulated.A total of 530 treatment records generated at Shanghai Concord Cancer Center from January to March 2024(10 weeks)were auto-reviewed and compared with the manual results for evaluating the accuracy and efficiency of the program.Results:The auto-review program was running smoothly.Overall with the above data,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and the error-miss rate were 73.4%,14.3%,87.7%and 12.3%respectively.For sub-set items,the source-skin distance(SSD)error detecting rate was 100%,the wrong session reporting was 100%correlated with the plans switching and the wrong fraction reporting was 100%related to plan revision.For the other items,auto and manual reviews gave out the same accuracy.Conclusion:The none-error results from the program are all true,so the manual rechecking could limit to those auto-review error records,which can reduce the workload by 73.4%,therefore improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the radiotherapy data review.

Objective To explore the predictive value of preoperative prognostic nutritional index(PNI)for postoperative out-comes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)undergoing transarterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods The clinical datas of 142 HCC patients treated with TACE as initial treatment were retrospectively collected.According to the cut-off value deter-mined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),PNI,aspar-tate aminotransferase-neutrophil ratio(ANRI),aspartate aminotransferase-lymphocyte ratio(ALRI)and aspartate aminotransferase-platelet ratio(APRI)were divided into high group and low group,and their effects of TACE on postoperative outcome were ana-lyzed.Results Preoperative PNI was negatively correlated with liver function 1 week after TACE.Preoperative PNI and tumor size were independent risk factors for overall survival(OS).The PNI≥42.35 group was better than PNI<42.35 group(OS 28 months vs 10 months),the tumor size<5 cm was better than tumor size≥5 cm(OS 37 months vs 11 months),and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).PNI was an independent risk factor for progression-free survival(PFS).The PNI≥42.35 group was better than PNI<42.35 group(PFS 6 months vs 3 months),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Preop-erative PNI has a certain prognostic value in HCC patients,and the OS and PFS of HCC patients with PNI<42.35 group after TACE are shorter.

Pathologically,hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is prone to invade the portal vein and form portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT).Although great advances in the treatment of HCC have been achieved in recent years,HCC patients with PVTT still have limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis.Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)is a therapeutic approach that combines local therapy with systemic antitumor effects,and a lot of studies have shown that HAIC carries certain survival benefit to patients with advanced HCC complicated by PVTT,and it is considered to be an effective local therapy for advanced HCC,especially for patients with type Vp3-4 HCC.Systemic therapy is the main treatment for advanced HCC,but the diversity of HAIC combined with targeted and immunotherapy may become a more effective treatment option for HCC with severe PVTT,and it is possible to achieve a tumor-free state through translational therapy,allowing patients with advanced HCC to survive for a longer time.This article aims to summarize the research progress in HAIC for advanced HCC complicated by PVTT.

Objective::To establish the Chinese population's amniotic fluid deepest vertical pocket (DVP) reference curves for dichorionic twin pregnancies and to investigate DVP links with adverse perinatal outcomes.Methods::This retrospective cohort study, conducted at Peking University Third Hospital from August 2011 to December 2020, used data from 375 women aged 20 to 45 years who had dichorionic twin pregnancies that were confirmed through first-trimester ultrasound. After exclusions, reference curves were developed using 318 women with 3,299 DVP scans, and the data analyzed included maternal demographics, pregnancy outcomes, ultrasound measurements, and neonatal information. DVPs were assessed via ultrasound at regular intervals and grouped by gestational age (GA) for analyses. Linear mixed models were used to create amniotic fluid reference curves. Associations between abnormalities and adverse perinatal outcomes were examined using Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests. Logistic regression provided both crude and adjusted odds ratios, adjusting for pre-pregnancy weight, age, ethnicity, parity, and conception mode. Significance was set at P < 0.05 with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and the analyses were conducted using SPSS ver. 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) and SAS ver. 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) software. Results::DVP increased from the first trimester to a maximum at 26 weeks (95% confidence interval ( CI), 2.7-8.3 cm for twin 1 and 2.8-7.9 cm for twin 2) and then decreased gradually toward term. Differences between twins 1 and 2 were significant after 26 weeks (95% CI for twin 1: 5.3, 5.5; 95% CI for twin 2: 4.4, 4.5; P < 0.010). Polyhydramnios of twin 1 increased the risk of large for GA. Oligohydramnios of twin 1 increased the risk of small for GA. Polyhydramnios of twin 2 increased the risk of small for GA, premature birth, and neonatal complications. Oligohydramnios of twin 2 increased the risk of preeclampsia, hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, and premature rupture of membranes. Conclusion::Reference curves for twin amniotic fluid volumes vary by GA and differ between twins, with potential implications for pregnancy outcomes.
