Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of conventional dose and reduction dose of bortezomib in combination with bisphosphonates for treating patients with multiple myeloma ostespathy.
Methods: A total of 150 patients with multiple myeloma ostespathy were chosen in the period from March 2011 to July 2015 and randomly were divided into 2 groups: A group (75 cases) and B group (75 cases). The patients in A and B groups were treated with conventional dose of bortezomib and reduction dose of bortezomib on the basis of bisphosphonates respectively and the clinical efficacy, the improvement rate of life quality, NRS score, levels of IL-6 and CRP before and after treatment, and the adverse effects of 2 groups were compared.
Results: There was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy between 2 groups (P<0.05). The improvement rate of patients life quality in B group was significantly better than that in A group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the NRS score, levels of IL-6 and CRP after treatment between 2 groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of neutrophil reduction and thrombocytopenia between 2 groups (P<0.05). The incidence of BiPN, nausea and vomiting, herpes zoster and fatigue of B group was significantly lower than that in A group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Conventional dose and reduction dose of bortezomib in combination with bisphosphonates for treating patients with multiple myeloma ostespathy possess the same effects, including pain relief and disease progression control; but the reduction dose of bortezomib application can efficiently improve the life quality of patients and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.

Validity of one-time phantomless patient-specific quality assurance in proton therapy with regard to the reproducibility of beam delivery.

Background: Patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) is a crucial yet resource-intensive task in proton therapy, requiring special equipment, expertise and additional beam time. Machine delivery log files contain information about energy, position and monitor units (MU) of all delivered spots, allowing a reconstruction of the applied dose. This raises the prospect of phantomless, log file-based QA (LFQA) as an automated replacement of current phantom-based solutions, provided that such an approach guarantees a comparable level of safety.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used to monitor disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study aims to systematically evaluate the correlation between MRI measures and histopathological changes, including demyelination, axonal loss, and gliosis, in the central nervous system of MS patients. We systematically reviewed post-mortem histological studies evaluating myelin density, axonal loss, and gliosis using quantitative imaging in MS.

Rib pathology is uniquely difficult and time-consuming for radiologists to diagnose. AI can reduce radiologist workload and serve as a tool to improve accurate diagnosis. To date, no reviews have been performed synthesizing identification of rib fracture data on AI and its diagnostic performance on X-ray and CT scans of rib fractures and its comparison to physicians.

Background: Although several studies have examined the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the factors associated with kidney-related symptoms have not been fully explored.
Methods: This nationwide multicenter cohort study enrolled 2248 patients. To identify the factors associated with each item or the three KDQOL domains, such as burden of kidney disease, symptoms/problems of kidney disease, and impact of kidney disease on daily life, multiple regression analysis was performed using baseline data.

Background: The heterogeneity of breast cancer (BC) necessitates the identification of novel subtypes and prognostic models to enhance patient stratification and treatment strategies. This study aims to identify novel BC subtypes based on PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) and construct a robust prognostic model to guide individualized treatment strategies.
Methods: The transcriptome data along with clinical data of BC patients were sourced from the TCGA and GEO databases.
