Article Synopsis
  • A dosimetric evaluation was conducted on 49 stage III NSCLC patients treated with 4D-CT IMRT, focusing on the impact of omitting the clinical target volume (CTV).
  • Results showed that omitting the CTV at a lower dose of 60 Gy provided inadequate coverage for the target area, while increasing the dose to 74 Gy significantly improved coverage for more patients.
  • The simultaneous integrated boost (SIB-IMRT) plan offered the best protection for surrounding normal tissues and organs, suggesting it could be the optimal radiation therapy approach for these patients.

Based on the original data of cervical spine, the models of cervical C6 and C7 segments were reconstructed through medical image processing and reverse modeling operations, then the models were assembled to obtain the basic data of interbody fusion cage. According to the basic data, the structures of rectangular porous, gradient porous and octahedral porous interbody fusion cages were established respectively. Maximum force on the adult male neck was applied to the fusion device, and the stress, strain and maximum deformation of the fusion device were solved by finite element analysis.

The characteristics of acupoint indications vary according to the distribution of acupoints on the body, which is particularly prominent from the perspective of the differences between the acupoints on the trunk and those on the four limbs. The most of meridian-acupoint theories, especially the early theories are based on these differences and collected in ().

The theory that meridians connect the upper and lower, interior and exterior of the whole human body comes from the clinical experience of acupuncture therapy mainly by choosing the acupoints of 12 regular meridians at the four limbs. During the process of merging the theories of meridians and -organs (viscera), the expression of the intrinsic relationship of such connection gradually becomes more and more complicated. Therefore, the study on the correlation between the meridian and viscus should start from the characteristics of the meridian theory itself, and discriminate the "reasonable and unreasonable" components of the related theoretical descriptions in the literature in order to explore the scientific values of this correlation.

By doing calculations based on density functional theory, we predict that the two-dimensional anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) NiOsCl as a Chern insulator can realize the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect. We investigate the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies in different magnetic configurations and the Néel AFM configuration is proved to be ground state. When considering spin-orbit coupling (SOC), this layered material with spins perpendicular to the plane shows properties as a Chern insulator characterized by an inversion band structure and a nonzero Chern number.
