This paper reported the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of a case of recurrent endometrial stromal sarcoma with term pregnancy. The patient had undergone laparoscopic surgery to remove hysteromyoma before conception in 2017, which was pathologically diagnosed as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma after surgery. Due to her strong reproductive willingness, the patient attempted to conceive in light of her stable condition and no evidence of recurrence and was closely followed up with an informed choice. She conceived successfully in 2020 and underwent regular pregnancy examinations. Ultrasound examination at 37 +4 weeks of gestation revealed a slightly hypoechoic mass of about 6.3 cm×4.5 cm size in the pelvic cavity. After admission, a pelvic MRI indicated multiple solid nodules in the right adnexa uteri and beside the iliac vessels in the left pelvic wall and anterior pelvic wall with the larger one being about 58 mm×28 mm. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed multiple pelvic nodules and masses with significant diffusion restriction. The patient was diagnosed as having multiple solid nodules and masses in the pelvic cavity, and the recurrence of sarcoma was highly suspected. Brain CT and lung CT showed no obvious metastatic lesions. A consultation involving the Department of Gynecological Tumor Chemoradiotherapy was held and the sarcoma recurrence during pregnancy was prenatally diagnosed. After ruling out the contraindications for surgery, a cesarean section was performed in the lower segment of uterus under general anesthesia and a live female baby was delivered at 38 +3 weeks. The excised mass was confirmed as recurrent uterine stromal sarcoma by rapid freezing pathology during cesarean section. A combination surgery was performed subsequently, including total extra-fascial hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, appendectomy, greater omentum resection, pelvic lesion resection (right side), and pelvic adhesiolysis. Recurrent low-grade uterine stromal sarcoma was reconfirmed by postoperative pathology. The patient was discharged after recovery. After two years of follow-up, no distant metastasis recurrences were found.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and dosimetric parameters associated with acute hematologic toxicity (AHT) resulting from radiation-induced damage to hematopoietic organs in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer and to provide a reference for establishing dose constraints in relevant regions of interest (ROIs) and predicting adverse tissue reactions during the development of clinical treatment plans. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 556 patients with cervical cancer who underwent chemoradiotherapy at our hospital. Univariate (χ2 and t-test) and multivariate (binary logistic regression analyses) methods were employed to investigate the association of clinical factors and pelvic dose-volume parameters with grade ≥ 3 AHT in patients with cervical cancer. Clinical factors comprised patients’ age, clinical stage, pathologic stage, whether the patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and dose-volume dosimetric parameters Vx and Dmean for pelvic bone marrow (BM) and femoral head (FH) structures. Results The incidence of AHT among the included cases was 30.4% (169/556). Chi-square analysis of the clinical factors revealed that whether the patient had received chemotherapy, patient’s age, and pathologic stage had a significant impact on AHT. Univariate analysis showed that the factors associated with AHT were mean dose, V5, V10, V15, V20, and V25 of BM and FH; dosimetric parameters such as V35 of FH had a significant impact on the development of AHT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified V15 of pelvic BM as an independent risk factor for AHT (P=0.041), with a threshold value of 84.29% as determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Conclusion Whether a patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and patient’s age and pathologic stage can serve as predictors of AHT. V15 of BM is an independent risk factor for AHT development. Therefore, when formulating a treatment plan, it is crucial to ensure that pelvic V15 remains below 84.29% to effectively reduce the incidence of grade ≥ 3 acute bone marrow depression.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of SECI (socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization) model in clinical practice training of hematology nurses.Methods:A total of 86 students from the clinical practice training course for hematology nurses from October 2022 to September 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The 43 trainees who received practical training from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 were included in the traditional group, and the 43 trainees who received practical training from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 were included in the observation group. The traditional group received traditional teaching, while the observation group received SECI teaching. After the training, basic assessment and satisfaction evaluation were conducted, and a long-term evaluation was conducted at 6 months after the training. The t test and chi-square test were performed using SPSS 25.0. Results:The observation group had higher scores in case reports [(92.03±2.21) vs. (88.14±2.36)], theoretical assessments [(95.61±3.79) vs. (86.58±3.75)], and operational assessments [(96.24±1.45) vs. (90.13±1.41)] compared with the traditional group (all P<0.05). The observation group had higher scores for teaching plans, teaching methods, teaching effectiveness, teaching atmosphere, internship content, and overall satisfaction with practical training than the traditional group ( P<0.05). The long-term evaluation showed that the theoretical and operational assessment scores of the observation group were higher than those of the traditional group at 6 months after training (both P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of SECI teaching in the clinical practice training of hematology nurses has shown good results, which can help nurses better grasp clinical theoretical knowledge and significantly improve their practical operation ability and training satisfaction.

Background::A phase II trial on recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) has previously shown its preliminary efficacy in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. This study was designed as a pivotal postmarketing trial to compare its efficacy and safety with rrecombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator alteplase (rt-PA) in Chinese patients with STEMI.Methods::In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial, patients with acute STEMI were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an intravenous bolus of 16 mg rhTNK-tPA or an intravenous bolus of 8 mg rt-PA followed by an infusion of 42 mg in 90 min. The primary endpoint was recanalization defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 2 or 3. The secondary endpoint was clinically justified recanalization. Other endpoints included 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and safety endpoints.Results::From July 2016 to September 2019, 767 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rhTNK-tPA ( n = 384) or rt-PA ( n = 383). Among them, 369 patients had coronary angiography data on TIMI flow, and 711 patients had data on clinically justified recanalization. Both used a –15% difference as the non-inferiority efficacy margin. In comparison to rt-PA, both the proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow (78.3% [148/189] vs. 81.7% [147/180]; differences: –3.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: –11.5%, 4.8%) and clinically justified recanalization (85.4% [305/357] vs. 85.9% [304/354]; difference: –0.5%; 95% CI: –5.6%, 4.7%) in the rhTNK-tPA group were non-inferior. The occurrence of 30-day MACCEs (10.2% [39/384] vs. 11.0% [42/383]; hazard ratio: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.50) did not differ significantly between groups. No safety outcomes significantly differed between groups. Conclusion::rhTNK-tPA was non-inferior to rt-PA in the effect of improving recanalization of the infarct-related artery, a validated surrogate of clinical outcomes, among Chinese patients with acute STEMI.Trial registration::www.ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT02835534).

Endodontic diseases are a kind of chronic infectious oral disease.Common endodontic treatment concepts are based on the removal of inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue and the replacement by gutta-percha.However,it is very essential for endodontic treatment to debride the root canal system and prevent the root canal system from bacterial reinfection after root canal therapy(RCT).Recent research,encompassing bacterial etiology and advanced imaging techniques,contributes to our understanding of the root canal system's anatomy intricacies and the technique sensitivity of RCT.Success in RCT hinges on factors like patients,infection severity,root canal anatomy,and treatment techniques.Therefore,improving disease management is a key issue to combat endodontic diseases and cure periapical lesions.The clinical difficulty assessment system of RCT is established based on patient conditions,tooth conditions,root canal configuration,and root canal needing retreatment,and emphasizes pre-treatment risk assessment for optimal outcomes.The findings suggest that the presence of risk factors may correlate with the challenge of achieving the high standard required for RCT.These insights contribute not only to improve education but also aid practitioners in treatment planning and referral decision-making within the field of endodontics.

Objective:To explore the potential categories and associated factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A total of 393 community-dwelling older adults with MCI in Huzhou City were selected through multistage random sampling from January to July 2022.The survey was conducted by the general information questionnaire, Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and 15-item geriatric depression scale(GDS-15). Latent profile analysis (LAP) was applied to explore latent categories based on the characteristics of cognitive impairment, and Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the factors associated with these MCI categories. The statistical software was SPSS 26.0.Results:The community-dwelling older adults with MCI was categorized into four subgroups: generalized mildly impaired subgroup, mixed impaired with visuospatial executive dysfunction subgroup, narrative memory dysfunction impaired subgroup, and high-risk severely impaired subgroup, with corresponding MoCA scores of (23.10±0.96), (21.87±0.92), (20.43±0.93), (19.00±0.00), PSQI scores of (6.00 (4.00)), (7.00 (6.00)), (7.00 (6.00)), (10.00 (3.00)), and GDS-15 scores of (4.00 (4.00)), (4.00(5.00)), (6.00(5.00)), (8.00 (3.00)), respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that compared to generalized mildly impaired subgroup, gender, age, exercise habits, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, chronic disease count, and medication count significantly affected other three subgroups, with female, older age, and never/irregular exercise as common risk factors. Poor sleep quality and depressive symptoms could positively predict mixed impaired with visuospatial executive dysfunction subgroup and narrative memory dysfunction impaired subgroup( B=0.82, OR=2.27, 95% CI=1.26-4.08; B=1.12, OR=3.06, 95% CI=1.36-6.91).Additionally, poor sleep quality, depressive symptoms, chronic disease and medication count could significantly predict high-risk severely impaired subgroup ( B=4.13, OR=62.32, 95% CI= 1.71->999.99; B=3.31, OR=27.49, 95% CI=1.37-549.99; B=1.20, OR=3.32, 95% CI= 1.06-10.41 and B=0.80, OR=2.22, 95% CI=1.04-4.71). Conclusion:Four latent MCI categories are identified among community-dwelling older adults, and each category was characterized by unique cognitive impairment features and factors. Healthcare professionals are advised to customize assessments and management strategies according to these specific characteristics to effectively slow cognitive decline.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging with time-dependent diffusion MRI (td-dMRI) in the diagnosis of malignant breast lesions.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. The clinical, pathological and imaging data of patients with breast lesions admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March to August 2023 were prospectively analyzed. All patients firstly underwent T 2WI, diffusion-weighted imaging, followed by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), and finally APTw imaging and td-dMRI were performed for breast lesions using DCE-MRI as reference. Reconstructed images from APTw imaging measured lesions with a frequency shift of 3.5 ppm asymmetric magnetic susceptibility MTR asym(+3.5 ppm). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values at different oscillating frequency gradients (ADC PGSE, ADC 17 Hz, ADC 33 Hz values) were measured using reconstructed td-dMRI images. Independent sample t-test was used to compare APTw imaging, td-dMRI parameter differences between benign and malignant breast tumors, breast malignant tumors with different molecular types [estrogen receptor (ER) negative and positive, progesterone receptor (PR) negative and positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2) negative and positive, proliferation index (Ki-67) low and high expression] and different histological grades (grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ). Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the efficacy of APTw imaging and td-dMRI parameters in differentiating benign and malignant breast tumors, molecular classification and histological grading of malignant breast lesions. Results:There were 171 lesions in 171 patients, including 103 malignant lesions and 68 benign lesions. Histological grades were grade Ⅱ in 51 cases and grade Ⅲ in 38 cases of 89 cases of invasive carcinoma. Totally 98 cases of malignant lesions were included in molecular typing analysis, 36 cases were ER negative and 62 cases were ER positive. PR was negative in 51 cases and positive in 47 cases. There were 33 negative HER-2 patients, 65 positive HER-2 patients. There were 50 cases of low Ki-67 expression and 48 cases of high Ki-67 expression. The MTR asym(+3.5 ppm) value of malignant breast lesions was higher than that of benign lesions ( t=5.76, P<0.001), and the ADC PGSE, ADC 17 Hz and ADC 33 Hz values were lower than those of benign breast lesions ( t was 4.84, 4.62, 4.01, respectively, all P<0.001). MTR asym(+3.5 ppm) had the highest AUC value (0.83) and the highest specificity (90.38%), and ADC PGSE had the highest sensitivity (85.86%). There were no significant differences in MTR asym(+3.5 ppm), ADC PGSE, ADC 17 Hz and ADC 33 Hz between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ histological grades of malignant breast lesions (all P>0.05). The ADC PGSE value of ER negative was higher than that of ER positive ( t=2.34, P=0.018), and the AUC for distinguishing ER positive from negative was 0.64. The ADC PGSE and ADC 17 Hz values of PR negative were higher than those of PR positive ( t=2.87, 2.81, P=0.004, 0.006, respectively), and their AUCs for identifying PR positive versus negative breast malignant lesions were 0.68 and 0.67, respectively. The ADC 33 Hz value of negative HER-2 was lower than that of positive HER-2 ( t=3.00, P=0.003), and the AUC for distinguishing positive and negative HER-2 was 0.67. There were no significant differences in other parameters among different subtypes of breast malignant lesions (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with td-dMRI, APTw imaging is more effective in differentiating benign and malignant lesions of breast tumors, and ADC values at different gradient oscillation frequencies obtained by td-dMRI show better diagnostic efficacy in differentiating different molecular types of breast malignant lesions.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of applying ArcherQA to independent dose verification of MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) plans performed on Elekta Unity 1.5 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance-linear accelerator (MR-Linac).Methods:The dose calculation accuracy of ArcherQA under a specific magnetic field was validated using a homogeneous water phantom. A total of 32 patients who received MR-guided online ART on Elekta Unity were randomly selected by lottery, with 32 offline plans and 177 online plans for five treatment sites (brain, mediastinum, liver, kidney, and vertebral body) enrolled. Finally, the γ pass rates (threshold: 10%; criteria: 3 mm/3% and 2 mm/2%) were compared among the result upon independent dose verification of ArcherQA, measurements of ArcCheck, and calculations using the Monaco treatment planning system (TPS) to quantitatively evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of ArcherQA in independent dose verification of online plans on Elekta Unity.Results:ArcherQA was proven accurate in calculating the dose distribution of therapeutic photon beams under the specific magnetic field. With the 3 mm/3% criterion, the γ pass rates of verification result exceeded 99% in all square fields of a water phantom. Under the stricter 2 mm/2% criterion, the γ pass rates also surpassed 95% in all square fields except 20 cm × 20 cm field. Regarding the verification of treatment plans, the ArcherQA result were found to be highly consistent with those measured or calculated using ArcCheck and Monaco TPS, with the average γ pass rates exceeding 99% under the 3 mm/3% criterion and above 97% under the 2 mm/2% criterion. ArcherQA was acceptably efficient for independent dose verification of online plans, with 50 to 150 s, (108 s on average) required to complete the independent dose verification of 177 online plans.Conclusions:ArcherQA allows for accurately and efficiently calculating the dose distribution of therapeutic photon beams under a specific magnetic field, establishing it as an effective supplementary tool for independent dose calculation of MR-guided offline and online ART plans, thereby ensuring the safety of patient treatment plans.
