RuO2 nanowires and RuO2/TiO2 core/shell are synthesized by reactive sputtering. The obtained coating with TiO2. mechanical, optical, electrical optoelectronic properties of the characterized, indicate several potential applications nanowires.
The magnetic properties of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanowires are investigated by means electron holography, which deduces the information from phase shift electrons. flux is parallel to longitudinal axis (see figure). Observations on magnetization distribution reveal possibility regulating spin current with half-metallic nanowires, owing controlled in 1D form.
This study seeks to assess quality of life (QOL) and utility scores head neck cancer survivors.We compared QOL as indicated by EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-H&N35, time trade off (TTO) with previous published reference values tested series characteristics related global utility.A total 127 patients were recruited. Of the patients, 102 (80%) completed assessment. Cancer survivors had lower norm values. Patients without a spouse than those spouse. low annual family income also (p < 0.05). Other factors...
To review the experience and to evaluate results of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) via helical tomotherapy (HT), for treatment brachytherapy-unsuitable cervical cancer.Between September 1, 2008 January 31, 2012, nine cancer patients unsuitable brachytherapy were enrolled. All received definitive whole pelvic radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy, followed by SBRT HT.The actuarial locoregional control rate at 3 years was 78%. The mean biological equivalent dose in 2-Gy...
Three Asian patients with plasma cell myeloma stage IIIa IgG predominant were selected for autologous hematopoietic transplantation (HSCT). Total marrow irradiation (TMI) tomotherapy planned melphalan 140 mg/m2 as a preconditioning regimen of HSCT. Two image sets computed tomography (CT) scanned 2.5 mm and 5 the upper lower part plan, respectively. The junction was determined marked at 15 cm above knee on both thighs plan. clinical target volume (CTV) included entire skeletal system....
Abstract Background To compare the differences in dose-volume data among coplanar intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), noncoplanar IMRT, and helical tomotherapy (HT) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Methods Nine unresectable HCC PVT underwent step shoot IMRT intent to deliver 46 - 54 Gy tumor vein. The volume of liver received 30Gy was set keep less than 30% whole normal (V30 < 30%). mean dose at least one side kidney kept below 23 Gy, 50 as...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. The optimal therapeutic choice for early HCC surgical resection. However, the rate of intrahepatic recurrence high. objective this study was to evaluate effect various factors on survival patients HCC. Between January 1st, 2006 and December 31st, 2013, total 89 who underwent surgery were retrospectively enrolled. analysis conducted using Student's t-test, Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier method Cox...
Background/Objectives: To assess the pretreatment and posttreatment clinical factors associated with rate of survival at 1, 3, 5 years in stage IV nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Methods: Clinicopathological characteristics 61 Stage NPC patients diagnosed between 2008 2022 a single tertiary medical center were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate multivariate analyses performed to evaluate prognostic overall (OS), disease-specific (DSS), disease-free (DFS). A nomogram was developed...
Abstract Background To review the experience and to evaluate treatment plan of using helical tomotherapy (HT) for cervical cancer. Methods Between November 1st, 2006 May 31, 2009, 10 cancer patients histologically confirmed were enrolled. All received definitive concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) with whole pelvic HT (WPHT) followed by brachytherapy. During WPHT, all treated cisplatin, 40 mg/m 2 intravenously weekly. Toxicity was scored according Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events v3.0...
Limited-tomotherapy and hybrid-IMRT treatment techniques were compared for reductions in ipsilateral contralateral lung, heart, breast radiation doses.Thirty consecutively treated left-sided early-stage cancer patients scheduled lTomo hIMRT. For the hIMRT plan conventional tangential-field four-field IMRT plans combined with different weightings prescribed dose. a geometrically limited arc was designed beamlet entrance. A D p of 50.4 Gy 28 fractions used PTV. The dose coverage, homogeneity...
Abstract Background Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) administered via a helical tomotherapy (HT) system is an effective modality for treating lung cancer and metastatic liver tumors. Whether SBRT delivered HT feasible alternative to brachytherapy in treatment of locally advanced cervical patients with unusual anatomic configurations the uterus has never been studied. Case Presentation A 46-year-old woman presented 8-month history abnormal vaginal bleeding. Biopsy revealed squamous...
This study investigated whether the characteristics of users long-term care (LTC) facilities were associated with differing perceptions importance indoor environmental quality. Questionnaires distributed to three types building users—managers LTC facilities, people residing at for least months, and family members residents—to assess their perceived factors (temperature, humidity, natural lighting, illumination, ventilation, noise). The results showed that managers did not affect index. Among...
To evaluate the experience of induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiationwith helical tomotherapy (HT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Between August 2006 and December 2009, 28 patients with pathological proven nonmetastatic NPC were enrolled. All staged as IIB-IVB. Patients first treated 2 to 3 cycles EP-HDFL (Epirubicin, Cisplatin, 5-FU, Leucovorin). After chemotherapy, weekly based PFL was administered HT. Radiation consisted 70 Gy planning target volumes primary tumor...
Objectives Nasopharyngeal cancer ( NPC ) is an endemic disease in Taiwan. Prognostic factors the anatomical TNM stage are important for its prognostic stratification. An elevated neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio NLR has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis various solid tumours. In this study, we analysed impact of Design Single‐institution retrospective study. Setting Medical centre. Participants One hundred and eighty patients treated at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Taiwan,...
Symptom distress often occurs in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, a biomarker has not been identified to reflect the severity of their symptom distress.The aim this study was investigate relationship between and serum inflammatory biomarkers chemotherapy.A longitudinal, repeated-measures design used assess subjective symptoms (fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, depression, confusion), (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5a [TRACP5a], interleukin 6 [IL-6], IL-8,...
To evaluate the feasibility and optimal restricted angle of complete-directional-complete block (CDCB) technique in helical tomotherapy (HT) by including regional nodal irradiation (RNI) with internal mammary node (IMN) left-sided breast cancer.Ten cancer patients treated 50 Gy 25 fractions were compared five-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (5F-IMRT) six types HT plans. In plans, complete (CB), organ-based directional (OBDB) CDCB different angles used.The conformity index (CI)...
