In the process of product collaborative design, the association between designers can be described by a complex network. Exploring the importance of the nodes and the rules of information dissemination in such networks is of great significance for distinguishing its core designers and potential designer teams, as well as for accurate recommendations of collaborative design tasks. Based on the neighborhood similarity model, combined with the idea of network information propagation, and with the help of the ReLU function, this paper proposes a new method for judging the importance of nodes-LLSR.

- Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma often undergo significant anatomical changes during intensity-modulated radiation therapy, which may necessitate adaptive radiation therapy to effectively target tumors while protecting critical structures.
- A study involving 20 patients assessed the benefits of a 3-phase adaptive radiation therapy technique, using repeat CT scans to recalibrate treatment plans after initial radiation doses.
- Results showed that adaptive radiation therapy significantly improved dose conformity for tumor targets and reduced radiation exposure to surrounding organs, outperforming nonadaptive plans in key dosage metrics.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to find the best timing for adaptive radiation therapy (ART) in treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by analyzing changes in anatomy and dosimetry during treatment.
- Nineteen NPC patients underwent repeat CT scans, allowing researchers to assess anatomical changes using advanced imaging techniques and generate hybrid treatment plans.
- Results showed significant reductions in tumor volume and improvements in dose parameters for certain target volumes, while some organs at risk experienced increased radiation exposure, indicating the need for careful monitoring and adjustments in treatment plans.
This prospective study was to assess interfractional and intrafractional errors and to estimate appropriate margins for planning target volume (PTV) by using daily cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Daily pretreatment and post-treatment CBCT scans were acquired separately after initial patient setup and after the completion of each treatment fraction in 10 patients treated with IMRT. Online corrections were made before treatment if any translational setup error was found.

The primary endpoints were treatment compliance and acute toxicities. Twenty-two patients with newly diagnosed NPC were recruited in this phase II trial.
