Objective:To investigate the accuracy and feasibility of 3D-printing individualized template-guided and CT-guided 192Ir interstitial brachytherapy in the central recurrent gynecologic tumors by comparing pre-plan and intraoperative physical dosimetric parameters. Methods:This study involved 38 patients with central recurrent gynecologic tumors who underwent 3D printing individual template (3D-PIT)-assisted and CT-guided 192Ir interstitial brachytherapy in the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Peking University Third Hospital from Jan 2018 to Dec 2019.The prescription doses for the target tumor areas were 10-36 Gy to be delivered at 5-6 Gy/fraction for 2-6 fractions.The pre-plan and intraoperative dosimetric parameters were compared, including the minimum prescription doses delivered to 90% and 100% of target volume( D90, D100)and the mean percentage of volume receiving 100% of the prescription doses ( V100). Meanwhile, the doses delivered to 2 cm 3 ( D2 cm 3) of organs at risk (bladders, rectums, and colons) were analyzed.The quality parameters of the brachytherapy were studied, including conformity index (CI), homogeneity index (HI), and external index (EI) of the target volume.Perioperative complications were also observed. Results:A total of 194 treatments were included.During the treatment, 5-13 (median 6) needles were inserted, with a prescription dose of 5-6 Gy per fraction.There were no statistical differences between pre-plan and intraoperative D90, D100, V100, CI, HI, and EI as well as the D2 cm 3 of bladders and colons at risk ( P>0.05). In contrast, for the D2 cm 3 of rectums, the intraoperative dose was slightly higher than the pre-plan dose, showing a statistical difference ( t=-0.335, P=0.027). Conclusions:The 3D-PIT-assisted and CT-guided 192Ir interstitial brachytherapy at a high dose rate is accurate and feasible in the treatment of recurrent gynecologic tumors, meeting the pre-plan dose requirement.

Objective:To investigate the effects of pre-existing antibody on seroconversion rate after influenza vaccination.Methods:This study recruited 1 900 healthy volunteers to receive influenza split vaccines in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region and Yunnan Province from September 2009 to October 2018. Hemagglutinin agglutination inhibition assay was used to detect the titers of specific antibodies in blood samples collected before vaccination and 28 d after vaccination and the effects of pre-existing antibody on the seroconversion to different influenza vaccine components were analyzed.Results:Trend analysis showed that with the increasing titer of pre-existing antibody, the seroconversion rates to A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria and B/Yamagata vaccine components were gradually decreased (χ 2=121.76, P<0.001; χ 2=67.58, P<0.001; χ 2=45.25, P<0.001; χ 2=54.55, P<0.001). After adjusting for factors such as region, gender and age, multivariate logistic regression showed that pre-existing antibody titer equal to or higher than 40 was an independent factor that affected the seroconversion to A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria vaccine components, and the adjusted OR (95%CI) values were 2.50(2.00-3.13)、1.64(1.35-2.00) and 2.50(1.79-3.45), respectively. Conclusions:The seroconversion rate to each vaccine component was negatively correlated with the pre-existing antibody titer. The factor that pre-existing antibody titer equal to or higher than 40 was detrimental to the seroconversion to A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria vaccine components, but had no significant influence on B/Yamagata seroconversion.
