Background: Radiotherapy for pelvic malignant tumors inevitably causes intestinal tissue damage. The regeneration of intestinal epithelium after radiation injury relies mainly on crypt fission. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of crypt fission events.

Despite the widespread use of perirectal spacers to reduce radiation-induced rectal toxicity during prostate cancer treatment, postmarketing data reveal rare but significant complications. This case report details a severe complication of rectourethral fistula necessitating robotic pelvic exenteration with urinary and faecal diversion following perirectal spacer placement. Although SpaceOAR has been shown to reduce rectal radiation dose, the ensuing clinical benefit remains inconclusive in real-world data.

The increasing use of radiation presents a risk of radiation exposure, making the development of radioprotectors necessary. In the previous study, it is investigated that Deinococcus radiodurans (R1-EVs) exert the antioxidative properties. However, the radioprotective activity of R1-EVs remains unclear.

Background: Intestinal organoid has emerged as an energetic tool for modeling intestine physiology and relevant diseases in vitro. Here, we reported that development of intestinal organoids could be used to explore the toxicology mechanism for combination effects of low dose nanoplastic (NPs) chronic exposure and acute radiation on intestine injury, the two classical chemical and physical substances.
Methods: Integrated acute radiation-induced intestine injury model in vivo and mice intestinal organoids in vitro were conducted in this study.
Radiotherapy is a primary treatment method for lung cancer, and radiation-induced lung injury has been widely studied. However, the lung and intestines are closely related, and patients receiving lung radiotherapy often experience gastrointestinal reactions. Huanglian Decoction has proven effective in treating intestinal diseases, but its role in radiation-induced intestinal injury in lung cancer has not yet been demonstrated.
