Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for tumor with increasingly high request for technique precision and the equipment stability. Machine learning may bring radiotherapy simplicity, individualization and precision, and may improve the automatic level of planning and quality assurance. Based on the process of radiotherapy, this paper reviews the applications and researches on machine learning, with an emphasis on deep learning, and proposes the prospects in the following aspects: segmentation of normal tissue and tumor, planning, treatment delivery, quality assurance and prognosis prediction.
目的 探讨原发性空、回肠肿瘤的临床表现、病理类型及其特点，为进一步提高对该类疾病的诊断水平提供临床经验。 方法 对2003年1月－2012年11月62例原发性空、回肠肿瘤患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析。 结果 患者年龄（55 ± 16）岁，＞40岁者占83.9%。良性肿瘤9例，恶性肿瘤53例，良、恶性之比为1︰5.9。53例恶性肿瘤包括恶性间质瘤26例，恶性淋巴瘤15例，腺癌9例，另有平滑肌肉瘤、肉瘤样癌、滤泡树突状细胞肉瘤各1例；主要临床表现为腹痛（44/62，71.0%）、肠梗阻（22/62，35.5%）、贫血（16/62，25.8%）、腹胀不适（11/62，17.7%）、消化道出血（10/62，16.1%）、腹部包块（8/62，12.9%）。术前小肠肿瘤的诊断率仅为25.8%（16/62），46例患者经手术探查及术后病理检查得以确诊。 结论 原发性空、回肠肿瘤缺乏特异性临床表现，早期诊断相当困难，术前误诊率高，高度警惕和加深对该疾病的认识十分重要。
ObjectiveTo evaluate the short-term effectiveness of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for medial compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee. MethodsBetween January 2008 and October 2013, 18 patients with medial compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee were treated by UKA, including 11 males and 7 females with an average age of 67.2 years (range, 60-72 years). The disease duration ranged from 3 to 5 years (mean, 3.7 years). All patients had loading pain and walk-associated pain of the medial compartmental knee. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 6.8±1.4. The full-length radiograph of lower limb and anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the knee showed medial compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee. According to Ahlback staging, 8 knees were at stageⅡand 10 knees at stageⅢ. The knee range of motion (ROM) was (112.3±11.3)°, and the angle of genu varus was (13.2±1.3)°. The American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was 59.0±6.4. ResultsPrimary healing of incision was obtained in all patients, and no infection or lower limb deep venous thrombosis occurred. All of the patients were followed up 6-50 months (mean, 28 months). No prosthetic loosening and dislocation or lesions of contralateral compartment and patellofemoral joint developed. At 6 months after operation, the VAS score was significantly reduced to 2.8±1.2 (t=9.20, P=0.00); most of patients achieved significant relief of pain. The HSS score was significantly increased to 92.0±3.1 (t=19.69, P=0.00); and the results were excellent in 12 cases, good in 5 cases, and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 94.4%. The knee ROM was (115.2±10.2)°, showing no significant difference when compared with preoperative one (t=-0.81, P=0.23). The alignment of limbs showed that the angle of genu varus was significantly reduced to (6.8±2.1)° (t=10.99, P=0.00). ConclusionUKA has satisfactory short-term effectiveness in the treatment of medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis, however, long-term effectiveness need further studies.
