Purpose: The interval between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and surgery for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) remains controversial. At the same time, the prognostic effect of delayed surgery in patients with poor responses is currently unclear. Methods: Data was collected from patients who had poor responses to NAC and underwent modified radical surgery from January 2013 to December 2018. The interval from completion of NAC to surgery was divided into two groups: a longer (greater than four weeks) or shorter (four weeks or less) interval. The associations of these interval groups with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated by multivariable Cox models adjusting for the existing prognostic factors. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize election bias. Results: A total of 1,229 patients (mean age, 47.2 ± 8.9 years; median follow-up duration, 32.67 [6.57–52.63] months) were included. The 5-year OS rates were 73.2% and 60.8% in the shorter (n = 171) and longer interval group (n = 1,058), respectively, while the 3-year RFS rates were 80.8% and 71.7%, respectively. In multivariate Cox analysis, the longer interval was associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–2.02; p = 0.046) and recurrence (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.12–1.99; p = 0.006).There was an interaction between the molecular subtype and the surgery interval for OS (pinteraction = 0.014) and RFS (pinteraction = 0.027). After PSM, no significant difference in OS (p = 0.180) and RFS (p = 0.069) was observed between the two groups. Conclusion Among LABC patients with a poor response, those with a longer interval between NAC and surgery had worse OS and RFS. The results indicate that these patients should receive modified radical surgery timely, which may in turn improve their prognosis.

Objective To systematically review the epidemiological studies on primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and to investigate the prevalence rate of PBC in the Chinese general population and its influencing factors. Methods PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were searched for articles on the epidemiology of PBC in China published up to 31th March 2022. Two researchers independently performed screening and data extraction, and then related analyses were performed. Results A total of 9 articles were included. The positive rate of AMA was 1 049.05/100 000 (ranging fr om 159.65/100 000 to 2287.40/100 000), and the prevalence rate of PBC was 123.68/100 000 (ranging from 42.70/100 000 to 276.59/100 000). The positive rate of AMA was 636.51/100 000 (ranging from 52.55/100 000 to 1 164.33/100 000) in men and 1 265.47/100 000 (ranging from 225.23/100 000 to 1 704.93/100 000) in women, with a male/female ratio of 1∶1.99 for the prevalence rate of AMA. The prevalence rate of PBC was 40.81/100 000 (ranging from 23.54/100 000 to 75.10/100 000) in men and 148.71/100 000 (ranging from 77.36/100 000 to 214.91/100 000) in women, with a male/female ratio of 1∶3.64 for the prevalence rate of PBC. Conclusion Different studies show great differences in the positive rate of AMA and the prevalence rate of PBC in the Chinese general population, which is mainly affected by sex, age, and region. The positive rate of AMA and the prevalence rate of PBC increase with age, and the patients aged ≥50 years have a significantly higher positive rate of AMA than those aged < 50 years. The positive rate of AMA is significantly higher than the prevalence rate of PBC. There are significantly more women than men in the AMA-positive population and the PBC patients, and the influence of sex on AMA is lower than that on PBC.

Objective:To explore the value of digital information line mark coplanar template (also referred to as the line mark template) in 125I radioactive seed implantation for the treatment of lung cancers. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for 58 cases of lung cancers who were treated with template-assisted seed implantation in Oncology Department of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from Aug 2017 to May 2019.Line mark templates were adopted for 30 cases (the line mark template group) and general standard coplanar templates (also referred to as the general template) were used for 28 cases (the general template group). Pre-plan and post-implant parameters were compared, including the minimum prescription dose delivered to 90% of target volume ( D90), minimum peripheral dose (MPD), mean percentages of volume receiving 100%, 150% and 200% of the prescription doses ( V100, V150 and V200), external index (EI), conformity index (CI), and homogeneity index (HI) of target volume.The operation duration was also compared between the two groups. Results:There was no statistical difference between pre-plan and post-implant D90, MPD, V100, V150 and V200 in the line mark template group ( P>0.05). There was also no statistical difference between pre-plan and post-implant D90, MPD, V100, V150 and V200 of the general template group ( P>0.05). The operation duration of the line mark template group and the general template group was (44.3±12.4) and (60.0±12.8) min, respectively ( t=-3.03, P<0.05). Conclusions:The use of template-assisted seed implantation can accurately achieve preoperative planning, while the line mark template shortens the operation duration and thus improves the tolerance of patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of limited-stage small cell lung cancer ( LS-SCLC) treated with 125 I radioactive seed implantation guided by CT combined with systemic chemotherapy. Methods A total of 128 limited-stage small cell lung cancer patients were treated with 125 I radioactive seed implantation combined with chemotherapy from Jun 2008 to Jun 2012 in Tianjin Medical University Second Hospital. Theχ2 test was used to analyze the influencing factors of short-term efficacy. Survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, single factor analysis was performed by Log-rank, and multivariate analysis was performed by Cox proportional hazard model. Results Totally 128 patients finished the treatment. The overall response rate was 86.7％ ( 111/128 ) after 6 months of treatment. The 1-, 2-and 3-year overall survival rate was 77.9％, 39.8％and 28.0％, respectively, and the median survival time was 21.0 months. The univariate analysis showed that the following factors were main prognostic factors:age, performance status ( PS) , hemoglobin≥120 g/L before treatment, smoking index, the maximum diameter of tumor, neuron-specific enolase before treatment, subscribe for prophylactic cranial irradiation ( PCI) , number of chemotherapy cycle, chemotherapy response, prescribed dose ( PD ) , postoperation dose covering 100％ volume ( D100 ) , remedial model. multivariate analysis revealed that age, PS, hemoglobin≥120 g/L before treatment and PD, the maximum diameter of tumor, number of chemotherapy cycle, chemotherapy response, and remedial model were the independent prognostic factors for survival. 29 patients of 128 suffered from aerothorax and the incidence rate of aerothorax was 27.7％. Totally 16 patients occurred hemoptysis and theincidence rate was 12.5％. Conclusions 125 I radioactive seed implantation therapy showed good effecacy in the treatment of LS-SCLC. Age, PS, hemoglobin≥120 g/L before treatment, the maximum diameter of tumor, number of chemotherapy cycle, chemotherapy response, and remedial model might be the main prognostic factors for LS-SCLC patients.

Objective To investigate whether quality assurance and quality control using multimodal image guidance and radiation dosimetry optimization could ensure and improve the targeting of 125I seeds brachytherapy.Methods A total of 287 patients (184 males,103 females,average age 61.9 years) with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 122 patients (average age 65.5 years) with prostate cancer who were diagnosed by pathology or imaging methods (coincidence imaging,CT,flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy,ultrasonography) from October 2002 to October 2016 were retrospectively enrolled.All imaging methods were used to locate the target area.Optimization of radiation dosimetry was made according to treatment planning system (TPS) and evaluated by dose-volume histogram (DVH).125I seeds implantation was performed under the imaging guidance,followed by real-time location verification,dosimetric verification.Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated.Paired t test was used to analyze the data.Results The prescribed dose (PD) of planning target volume (PTV) was above 140 Gy.Immediate dosimetric verification was performed in 59 patients with NSCLC and 31 patients with pulmonary metastases.The radiation dose before and after the implantation was coincident in 93.2％ (55/59) of NSCLC and 93.5％ (29/31) of pulmonary metastases.The coincident rate of patients with dose delivered to 90％ GTV (D90)＞matched peripheral dose (MPD) was 93.2％ (55/59) and 87.1％ (27/31) respectively in NSCLC and pulmonary metastases.There was no significant difference in MPD,D90 and conformity index (CI) before and after implantation (t values:2.11-9.71,all P＞0.05).The average dose of the risk organs was significantly lower than the tolerance dose of the normal tissue.The incidence of radiation pneumonitis was 1.05％ (3/287).No other serious complications were found.Conclusion Targeted diagnosis and therapy of multimodal image guidance could be optimized to improve the effect of targeting and therapeutic gain ratio of 125I seeds brachytherapy.

As an interstitial brachytherapy,radioactive seed implantation could provide high doses in the local site and minimal doses at surrounding normal tissues.It has become one of the best choice for early stage prostate carcinoma.Radioactive seeds were implanted under the guidance by ultrasound,CT and MRI,featured with surgical and interventional treatment.Based on dosimetry for target and organs at risk,radioactive seed implantation is multiple disciplinary.In order to acquire the accurate and high quality seed implantation,it is necessary to set up a team including surgeons,radiation oncologists,interventional doctors and nuclear medicine doctors.The content of the consensus is as follows:radiation physics and dosimetry,indications,side-effects and 3 D-printing template work-follow.Despite the benefit of radioactive seed implantation for solid carcinoma,there still a compelling need for prospective randomized and stage Ⅲ clinical trials from multiple centers,so as to upgrade the evidencebased level,above all confirm the role of radioactive seed implantation in the comprehensive treatment of tumors.

Objective To explore the quality control and the short-term curative efficacy of 125Ⅰ radioactive seeds implantation in the treatment of spinal metastases by using co-planar template ( CPT ) assisted CT guidance. Methods Totally 12 cases of primary tumor were diagnosed by pathology, imaging changes for 16 lesions were consistent with the characteristics of spinal metastatic tumor. The prescription dose (PD) was 80 Gy, seed activity was 1. 48 × 107 -2. 59 × 107Bq(0. 4 -0. 7 mCi). According to preoperative plan, spinal metastases were treated with CPT assisted CT guided 125Ⅰ radioactive seeds implantation. The distribution of seeds was observed immediately after operation and the dose was assessed. Patients were followed up by CT to determine the change of tumor diameter and evaluate the efficacy. Follow-up time ranged from 3 to 29 months. And the improvement of pain was evaluated by pain grading. Results All of the 16 spinal metastases lesions were successfully implanted by the preoperative planning. After the implantation, quality verification showed the average dose of target region was (209. 21 ± 37. 16) Gy, D90 ( 115. 29 ± 7. 87 ) Gy, D100 ( 76. 59 ± 5. 53 ) Gy, V90 ( 99. 30 ± 0. 51 )%, V100 ( 98. 06 ± 1. 15 )%, conformal index (CI) 0. 981 ± 0. 012, external index (EI) 0. 012 ± 0. 007. And the average dose of the spinal cord was ( 30. 47 ± 4. 83 ) Gy. There was no significant difference in the mean dose between the target area and the spinal cord and the preoperative plan ( P>0. 05 ) . 3 months after surgery, among 16 spinal metastases lesions, complete response ( CR ) was 18. 8% ( 3/16 ) , PR ( partial response ) rate 62. 5% (10/16), PD(progressive disease) rate 6. 25%(1/16),SD(stable disease) rate 6. 25%(1/16), effective rate ( CR + PR ) 81. 3%. The were 3 cases in pain complete remission, 7 cases in partial remission, 2 cases in mild remission. The survival time range from 11 to 39 months. The median survival time was 24 months. No radiation damage of spinal cord was found. Conclusions CT guided CPT can be used to control the position and radiation dose of the seeds implantation before the operation, so as to achieve the objective of treating tumor with fewer complications and improvement of patients′tolerance.
