During 2015 - 2016 years on average there were no more than 100-170 handlings per day. Publication of a number of articles, as well as electronic versions of profile monographs and collections in the public domain, dramatically increased the number of handlings to the journal's website to 500 - 800 per day, and the total number of visits to the site at the end of 2017 was more than 230.000.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Theoretical and numerical simulation using Monte-Carlo method to assess the proof-of-concept mechanism of photon and proton capture therapy with gold compounds and solutions.

Material and methods: The simulation of photon capture therapy is done with MCNP code, the proton capture therapy using Geant4 framework and our own developed software methods C++ and Python. Both simulations carried with tissue-equivalent phantom. The number of additional simulations was required to find the theoretical mechanism of proton capture therapy.

Results: The 10 mg per 1 g Au-based tissue compound resulted in doubling the absorbed dose value mainly due to interaction γ-quanta with electron shells of atoms and induced cascade of electrons. The 1 mg per 1 g Au-based tissue compound for the proton capture therapy may result in qualitive changes in absorbed dose distribution, resulted in 15 % few dose for 50 MeV proton, 15 % higher dose for 150-250 MeV protons and same dose for 100 MeV protons. The additional experiments and simulations may be further required for proper investigation of such effects. And also with a proton energy increase there is a decrease of number of elastic collisions with gold compounds, which demonstrates significant reduction of the reaction cross section.

Conclusion: The Au-based solutions may be kindly introduced into clinical practice for the photon capture therapy, on the other side, the proton capture therapy are yet to be implemented under both the physical interaction models improve as well as qualitive assessment of radiobiology effect.

Key words: Monte-Carlo method, photon capture therapy, proton capture therapy, gold compounds

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities to control effects of HIFU treatment in patient with osteosarcoma bone metastases by SPECT-CT method.

Material and methods: SPECT/CT treatment monitoring of the patient with bone metastases of osteosarcoma after ultrasound ablation.

Results: Metastases were detected in the SPECT/CT-pictures. The dynamic observation during the treatment was carried. The effect of the treatment caused by thermoablative manifests in the early stages (observed after 1 month). The effect of the treatment is the lack of accumulation-seeking radiopharmaceutical labeled with 99mTc in the treatment area.

Conclusion: SPECT/CT study is a demonstrative method for early determination of pathological metabolism degree at bone metastases of osteosarcoma after HIFU. SPECT/CT is an effective method of treatment monitoring of bone metastases with use of HIFU therapies.

Key words: SPECT/CT, HIFU, osteosarcoma bone metastases

The Ultrasonic Diagnostic of Perinatal Neck Injury and Its Consequenses as the Alternative to the Radiological Examination

Kursk State medical university, Kursk, e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To reduce radiation exposure to infants of different age groups one must improve radiodiagnosis of perinatal neck injury and its effects.

Material and methods: 679 children in the age of from 7 days to 6 years receiving treatment in the neonatal and premature infants’ pathology unit, psychoneurological unit of children’s hospitals were examined. (X-ray and ultrasonic) examination was carried out. APOLLO X-ray diagnostic complex was used. Radiographs were taken by the standard technique. Ultrasonography of the neck was made on GE Lodgic Expert and ALOKA Prosound a6 ultrasonic scanners with use of the curved and linear transducers of the frequency from 2.9 to 7.5 MHz by our offered technique. Statistical data processing was carried out with use of Statistica 6.0 program.

Results: To reduce radiation exposure to infants of different age groups we suggested the ultrasonic examination technique of children with perinatal neck injury and later one. Comparison of radiological and ultrasonic examination methods in terms of diagnosis of perinatal neck injury and its effects on children of different age groups has been displayed. The diagnosed radiological and ultrasonic symptoms of perinatal children’s groups have been calculated. As the alternative to the radiological examination of the cervical spine, for reducing the radiation exposure to infantile contingent we have proposed the ultrasonic examination technique, intended for diagnosis of perinatal neck injury and its effects in neonatals and children of early and pre-school age.

Conclusions: 1. Functional ultrasonic neck examination of infants, children of early and pre-school age, including estimation of the clavisternomastoid muscles and other soft tissues improves the diagnosis of spinal perinatal injury and its effects. 2. Radiodiagnosis of perinatal neck injury of neonatal and infants of early age should be based on the ultrasonic examination. 3. The neck radiography in the frontal and lateral projections has the priority in the pathology diagnosis of children of pre-school age. However, functional X-ray examinations must be replaced by similar ultrasonic ones.

Key words: birth injury, X-ray diagnostics, ultrasonography, birth spinal injury sequelae, radiological protection, ionizing radiation
