Two different end-to-end procedures were tested for real-time planning in breast HDR brachytherapy treatment. Both methods are using a 3D ultrasound (3DUS) system and a freehand catheter optimization algorithm. They were found fast and efficient. We demonstrated a proof-of-concept approach for personalized real-time guidance and planning to breast HDR brachytherapy treatments.

Poplar is an important tree species for timber supply and ecological protection in northern China. Cultivating and selecting high-quality varieties and germplasm resources suitable for cultivation are key factors in enhancing the quality and productivity of poplar plantations in the arid and semi-arid northern regions with shorter growing seasons. This study conducted a field cultivation experiment on 10 progeny clones from the direct cross (D × M) of imported 'DD-109' with and 7 progeny clones from the reciprocal cross (M × D) using one-year-old rooted cuttings planted at a 4 m × 8 m spacing.

Brachytherapy (BT) plays a key role in cancer treatment by delivering a high dose to a small volume over a short time. The use of BT is currently validated in a wide range of cancers such as cervical, prostate and breast cancers while being a favourable choice for organ preservation, such as in penile or rectal cancer, or in the setting of reirradiation. Consideration of the radiobiology of BT is integral to the choices made around dose and fractionation and combination with other techniques such as external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).

Purpose: The aim of this study was a retrospective dosimetric comparison of iridium-192 (Ir) high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy plans using model-based dose calculation algorithm (MBDCA) following TG-186 recommendations and TG-43 dosimetry protocol for breast, head-and-neck, and lung patient cohorts, with various treatment concepts and prescriptions.
Material And Methods: In this study, 59 interstitial Ir HDR brachytherapy cases treated in our center (22 breast, 22 head and neck, and 15 lung) were retrospectively selected and re-calculated with TG-43 dosimetry protocol as well as with Acuros BV dose calculation algorithm, with dose to medium option based on computed tomography images. Treatment planning dose volume parameter differences were determined and their significance was assessed.

Nanoplastics (NPs), which are characterized by plastic particles smaller than 1 μm, have emerged as pervasive environmental pollutants, raising concerns about their potential toxicity to living organisms. Numerous investigations have highlighted the tendency of NPs to accumulate in organs, resulting in toxic effects. Despite polyvinyl chloride (PVC) being one of the most prevalent NPs, its impact on the esophagus and the associated underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.

While cervical cancer is associated with a persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the progression to cancer is influenced by genomic risk factors that have remained largely obscure. Pathogenic variants in genes of the homology-directed repair (HDR) or mismatch repair (MMR) are known to predispose to diverse tumour entities including breast and ovarian cancer (HDR) or colon and endometrial cancer (MMR). We here investigate the spectrum of HDR and MMR germline variants in cervical cancer, with particular focus on the HPV status and histological subgroups.
