Real world clinical experience using daily intelligence-assisted online adaptive radiotherapy for head and neck cancer

BackgroundAdaptive radiation therapy (ART) offers a dynamic approach to address structural and spatial changes that occur during radiotherapy (RT) for locally advanced head and neck cancers. The integration of daily ART with Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) imaging presents a solution to enhance the therapeutic ratio by addressing inter-fractional changes.MethodsWe evaluated the initial clinical experience of daily ART for patients with head and neck cancer using an online adaptive platform with intelligence-assisted workflows on daily CBCT. Treatment included auto-contour and structure deformation of Organs at Risk (OARs) and target structures, with adjustments by the treating physician. Two plans were generated: one based on the initial CT simulation with the edited structures (scheduled) and a re-optimized plan (adaptive). Both plans were evaluated and the superior one approved and delivered. Clinical and dosimetric outcomes were reviewed.ResultsTwenty two patients with head and neck cancers (7 Nasopharynx, 6 Oropharynx, 1 oral cavity, 8 larynx) stages I-IVA were treated with daily ART. 770 adaptive and scheduled radiotherapy plans were generated. 703 (91.3%) adaptive plans were chosen. Median time to deliver ART was 20 minutes (range: 18-23). Adaptive compared to scheduled plans demonstrated improved mean V95 values for the PTV70, PTV59.5, and PTV56 by 1.2%, 7.2%, and 6.0% respectively and a mean 1.4% lower maximum dose in PTV70. Fourteen of 17 OARs demonstrated improved dosimetry with adaptation, with select OARs reaching statistical significance. At a median follow up of 14.1 months, local control was 95.5%, two patients developed metastatic disease and four patients died. 9.1% of patients had acute grade 3 dysphagia and 13.6% had grade 2 chronic xerostomia.DiscussionThese findings provide real world evidence of the feasibility and dosimetric benefit of incorporating daily ART on CBCT in the treatment of head and neck cancer. Prospective study is needed to determine if these dosimetric improvements translate into improved outcomes.

Size-Switchable Ru Nanoaggregates for Enhancing Phototherapy: Hyaluronidase-Triggered Disassembly to Alleviate Deep Tumor Hypoxia.

Hypoxia is a critical factor for restricting photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumor, and it becomes increasingly severe with increasing tissue depth. Thus, the relief of deep tumor hypoxia is extremely important to improve the PDT efficacy. Herein, tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive size-switchable hyaluronic acid-hybridized Ru nanoaggregates (HA@Ru NAs) were developed via screening reaction temperature to alleviate deep tumor hypoxia for improving the tumor-specific PDT by the artful integration multiple bioactivated chemical reactions in situ and receptor-mediated targeting (RMT). In this nanosystem, Ru NPs not only enabled HA@Ru NAs to have near infrared (NIR)-mediated photothermal/photodynamic functions, but also could catalyze endogenous H2O2 to produce O2 in situ. More importantly, hyaluronidase (HAase) overexpressed in the TME could trigger disassembly of HA@Ru NAs via the hydrolysis of HA, offering the smart size switch capability from 60 to 15 nm for enhancing tumor penetration. Moreover, the RMT characteristics of HA ensured that HA@Ru NAs could specially enter CD44-overexpressed tumor cells, enhancing tumor-specific precision of phototherapy. Taken together these distinguishing characteristics, smart HA@Ru NAs successfully realized the relief of deep tumor hypoxia to improve the tumor-specific PDT.

Young Students’ Aesthetic Literacy and Online Usage During COVID-19 in Taiwan

Digital learning has been prevalent in both pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research suggests that mental health problems in young people have been exacerbated by COVID-19, possibly related to a lack of social connection. Young people spend more time on using the internet for either study or connecting with their peers. The United Nations Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) proposed the “OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030 project”, which directly addresses the unpredictable situation with the future trend. Students not only need to develop knowledge and skills, but also develop attitudes and values. Creating new value requires critical thinking and creativity to find different solutions to problems and collaborate with others to find solutions to complex problems. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) education action has been valued. In 2011, President Obama proposed the importance of innovation, technology, and education and issued “A blueprint for reform: The reauthorization of the elementary and secondary education act.” Inter order to promote STEM courses, US$3.1 billion had been invested in 2014. STEM is the 4-letter abbreviation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, which is an emerging educational issue that combines the four professional fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Rhode Island School of Design in the United States launched the “from STEM to STEAM” movement, which gradually spread among the private sector, local governments and education in various countries. Scholar in Hong Kong reviewed existing literature on STEAM courses and summarized two views on A: 1. ART = visible beauty, 2. ART = design thinking. Researchers and experts with art and communication media backgrounds believe that the most effective entry point for STEAM is to combine technology, science and art from the perspective of design. In the process of solving problems, design gives a clear purpose to the integration of art, technology, and science. Problem-solving is the commonality between STEM and ARTS that are closely connected. The problem-solving of STEM is based on practicality, while that of ARTS is based on creativity. The ability of expression is the main focus. The Curriculum Guidelines of 12 Year Basic Education in Taiwan emphasize literacy-oriented teaching and cultivates students’ knowledge, abilities, and attitudes through 12 years of national education. One of the core competencies is “artistic literacy and aesthetic literacy,” which is an important part of “communication and interaction.” However, most parents expect children to study further education. The teaching time of art-related courses or education are often borrowed from those of mathematics, science, and Chinese classes, which invisibly deprives young students of the opportunity to live an aesthetic life.
