C 3-Substituted cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) derivatives were considered suitable candidates for recognition compounds due to their unique structures. In this study, a C3-substituted CTV derivative with three fluorogenic 8-quinolinyl groups (1) was designed and prepared as a fluorescent probe. The synthesized CTV derivative 1 exhibited a selective response of fluorescence enhancement toward Cu2+ ions among the examined cations. The sensing ability of CTV derivative 1 toward Cu2+ ions was superior to that of the previously reported C3-substituted CTV derivative with three 2-quinolinyl groups (2). It is, thus, suggested that the CTV structure plays an important role in selective sensing ability toward Cu2+ ions since the mono-quinoline compound 5 showed fluorescence properties toward the Cr3+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in addition to Cu2+ ions. In other words, the high Cu2+ ion-selectivity of CTV derivative 1 was demonstrated even in the presence of other co-existing examined cations. Moreover, it was found that CTV derivative 1 could work as a reversible fluorescence-enhanced probe toward Cu2+ ions by the simple addition of Et3N.

Evaluating the dosimetric impact of deep-learning-based auto-segmentation in prostate cancer radiotherapy: Insights into real-world clinical implementation and inter-observer variability.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of deep-learning-based auto-contouring in delineating clinical target volumes (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) for prostate cancer radiotherapy, comparing it to traditional manual methods.
- It involved analyzing 28 planning CT volumes with three contour types: original, auto-segmented, and expert-defined, examining dosimetric characteristics through various metrics like dose-volume histograms and homogeneity indices.
- Results showed automated contours had smaller geometric differences from manual contours than variations between different experts, and the automated process also significantly reduced contouring time while maintaining comparable dosimetric accuracy.
Time to Next Treatment Following Sub-Ablative Progression Directed Radiation Therapy for Oligoprogressive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Curr Oncol

Medicine and Surgery Department, University of Milan Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy.
We aimed to evaluate whether progression-directed radiation therapy (PDRT) can prolong the initiation of a subsequent systemic therapy regimen in a cohort of patients with oligoprogressive NSCLC. A retrospective analysis was conducted on NSCLC patients who underwent PDRT for extracranial oligoprogressive NSCLC, defined as limited (up to five) progressing lesions following initial complete, partial, or stable response to systemic therapy according to REC1ST 1.1 and/or PERCIST 1.

Article Synopsis
- Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) faces challenges from patient setup and proton range uncertainties, leading to longer planning times with robust optimization methods.
- A deep learning (DL) model was developed to predict dose distributions in various error scenarios for head and neck cancer patients, effectively evaluating plan robustness.
- The model demonstrated impressive accuracy, aligning closely with ground truth plans for most patients, and was able to predict full 3D dose distributions quickly, making it a viable option for enhancing IMPT treatment planning.
Successful cardiac resynchronization therapy reduces negative septal work in patient-specific models of dyssynchronous heart failure.
PLoS Comput Biol

Department of Bioengineering, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, United States of America.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with dyssynchronous heart failure (DHF) experience uneven heart muscle work due to conduction problems, but cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can improve this synchrony, leading to better health outcomes and quality of life.
- Researchers used advanced computational models to analyze heart function in eight patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB) before and after CRT, finding that the therapy enhanced overall myocardial work efficiency.
- The study revealed that the most significant reverse remodeling—improvement of heart structure—occurred in patients who initially had the greatest disparity in regional heart work, with effective CRT linked to increased function in specific areas of the heart rather than a reduction in overall work unevenness.
A Four-dimensional Computed Tomography Generated Internal Target Volume Approach to Paediatric High Risk Neuroblastoma to Reduce Organ at Risk and Normal Tissue Irradiation.

Aims: The magnitude of upper abdominal organ motion in children may be overestimated by current planning target volumes (PTV). A four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) - derived internal target volume (ITV) is frequently used in adult radiotherapy to take respiratory-related organ motion into account. In this study, the dosimetric consequences for target coverage and organs at risk from the use of an ITV approach compared to standard PTV margins in children with high-risk neuroblastoma were investigated.
