RESUMO

To compare late renal effects in pediatric and adult patients with malignancies after PBT involving part of the kidney. A retrospective study was conducted to assess changes in renal volume and function in 24 patients, including 12 children (1-14 years old) and 12 adults (51-80 years old). Kidney volumes were measured from CT or MRI images during follow-up. Dose-volume histograms were calculated using a treatment planning system. In children, the median volume changes for the irradiated and control kidneys were -5.58 (-94.95 to +4.79) and +14.92 (-19.45 to +53.89) mL, respectively, with a relative volume change of -28.38 (-119.45 to -3.87) mL for the irradiated kidneys. For adults, these volume changes were -22.43 (-68.7 to -3.48) and -21.56 (-57.26 to -0.16) mL, respectively, with a relative volume change of -5.83 (-28.85 to +30.92) mL. Control kidneys in children exhibited a marked increase in size, while those in adults showed slight volumetric loss. The percentage of irradiated volume receiving 10 Gy (RBE) (V10) and 20 Gy (RBE) (V20) were significantly negatively associated with the relative volume change per year, especially in children. The CKD stage based on eGFR for all patients ranged from 1 to 3 and no cases with severe renal dysfunction were found before or after PBT. Late effects on the kidneys after PBT vary among age groups. Children are more susceptible than adults to significant renal atrophy after PBT. V10 and V20 might serve as predictors of the degree of renal atrophy after PBT, especially in children. PBT has a minimal impact on deterioration of renal function in both children and adults.

RESUMO

Retardation of growth and development is a well-known late effect after radiotherapy for pediatric patients. The goal of the study was to examine the effect of proton beam therapy (PBT) on the growth of muscles included in the irradiated area. The subjects were 17 pediatric patients (age ≤ 5 years) who received PBT with a treatment field including a muscle on only one side out of a pair of symmetrical bilateral muscles and had imaging evaluations for at least 1 year after PBT. The thicknesses of the irradiated and non-irradiated (contralateral) muscles were measured retrospectively on CT or MRI axial images collected before and after PBT. The change of thickness divided by the period (years) for each muscle was compared between the irradiated and contralateral sides. Correlations of muscle growth with irradiation dose and age at the start of treatment were also evaluated. The median observation period was 39.2 months. The measurement sites included the erector spinae (n = 9), gluteus maximus (n = 5) and rhomboids + trapezius (n = 3) muscles. The average changes in muscle thickness were 0.24 mm/year on the irradiated side and 1.19 mm/year on the contralateral side, showing significantly reduced growth on the irradiated side (P = 0.001). Younger patients had greater muscle growth. Irradiation dose was not significant, but muscle growth tended to decrease as the dose increased, and muscles irradiated at >50 Gy (RBE) showed little growth. These results show that muscle growth is affected by PBT and that long-term follow-up is needed to evaluate muscle growth retardation.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to analyze renal late effects after proton beam therapy (PBT) for pediatric malignant tumors. A retrospective study was performed in 11 patients under 8 years of age who received PBT between 2013 and 2018. The kidney was exposed in irradiation of the primary lesion in all cases. Kidney volume and contour were measured on CT or MRI. Dose volume was calculated with a treatment-planning system. The median follow-up was 24 months (range, 11-57 months). In irradiated kidneys and control contralateral kidneys, the median volume changes were -5.63 (-20.54 to 7.20) and 5.23 (-2.01 to 16.73) mL/year; and the median % volume changes at 1 year were -8.55% (-47.52 to 15.51%) and 9.53% (-2.13 to 38.78%), respectively. The median relative volume change for irradiated kidneys at 1 year was -16.42% (-52.21 to -4.53%) relative to control kidneys. Kidneys irradiated with doses of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 GyE had volume reductions of 0.16%, 0.90%, 1.24%, 2.34%, and 8.2% per irradiated volume, respectively. The larger the irradiated volume, the greater the kidney volume was lost. Volume reduction was much greater in patients aged 4-7 years than in those aged 2-3 years. The results suggest that kidneys exposed to PBT in treatment of pediatric malignant tumor show continuous atrophy in follow-up. The degree of atrophy is increased with a higher radiation dose, greater irradiated volume, and older age. However, with growth and maturation, the contralateral kidney becomes progressively larger and is less affected by radiation.

RESUMO

Yellowtail meat containing 0 (control), 1% and 2% NaCl weas boiled and stored at 0 degrees C, and changes in 4-hydroxyhexenal (HHE) and malon aldehyde (MA) contents were analyzed after 0, 1, 2, and 3 d. The HHE contents in all samples increased significantly after 3 d. The MA contents in the NaCl-containing samples were significantly higher than those in the control after storage.
