Objective:To explore the dosimetry difference between volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and tomo direct (TD) in tumor bed simultaneous push radiotherapy after left breast-conserving surgery, and to provide more dosimetry reference for clinic.Methods:A total of 22 patients with left breast cancer who underwent simultaneous quantitative radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery were selected from the Department of Radiation Oncology, Yunnan Cancer Hospital from December 2018 to June 2020. The localized CT images and target organs at risk and other structural data were collected. Two radiotherapy plans, VMAT and TD, were designed for the same patient, and the dosimetry differences of target areas and organs at risk were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results:In terms of target dosimetry, there were statistically significant differences in the D 2% [ (59.99±0.19) Gy vs. (59.55±0.51) Gy, t=4.09, P<0.001], D 98% [ (57.19±0.08) Gy vs. (57.46±0.22) Gy, t=-5.10, P<0.001], conformal index (CI) (0.76±0.05 vs. 0.58±0.13, t=8.19, P<0.001) and homogeneity index (HI) (0.05±0.00 vs. 0.04±0.01, t=4.89, P<0.001) of the planning gross tumor volume (PGTV) between VMAT and TD plans. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the D 50% [ (58.73±0.10) Gy vs. (58.73±0.24) Gy, t=-0.03, P=0.974]. There were statistically significant differences in the D 50% [ (52.21±0.33) Gy vs. (53.00±0.72) Gy, t=-4.81, P<0.001], D 98% [ (48.44±0.43) Gy vs. (49.09±0.21) Gy, t=-6.80, P<0.001], CI (0.83±0.06 vs. 0.67±0.06, t=10.52, P<0.001) and HI (0.20±0.01 vs. 0.19±0.01, t=8.75, P<0.001) of the planned target volume (PTV) between the two plans. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the D 2% [ (59.01±0.45) Gy vs. (59.00±0.48) Gy, t=0.22, P=0.830]. In terms of organs at risk, there were statistically significant differences in the V 20 [ (18.81±2.86) % vs. (22.03±1.91) %, t=-5.36, P<0.001] and D mean [ (11.66±1.32) Gy vs. (12.85±1.46) Gy, t=-4.10, P=0.007] of left lung, V 5 [ (5.70±2.90) % vs. (0.30±0.13) %, t=16.44, P<0.001] and D mean [ (2.45±0.29) Gy vs. (0.43±0.14) Gy, t=9.09, P<0.001] of right lung, D mean [ (3.22±0.72) Gy vs. (1.69±0.80) Gy, t=5.41, P<0.001] of right breast, D 2% [ (5.37±1.97) Gy vs. (0.46±0.09) Gy, t=11.75, P<0.001] of cord between VMAT and TD plans. There were no significant differences in the V 5 of left lung [ (53.00±5.99) % vs. (50.00±7.69) %, t=1.91, P=0.061], V 5 of right breast [ (11.51±4.60) % vs. (8.06±3.49) %, t=1.59, P=0.120], V 30 [ (1.49±0.69) % vs. (1.51±0.71) %, t=-0.06, P=0.952] and D mean [ (3.99±0.97) Gy vs. (3.90±1.03) Gy, t=0.56, P=0.581] of heart between the two plans. Conclusion:TD and VMAT can meet the clinical dosimetry requirements for patients with left breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery. However, the two techniques have their own characteristics. VMAT has better conformity and TD has better uniformity. TD is significantly better than VMAT in protecting the right lung, right breast and spinal cord of healthy organs at risk. VMAT is better in protecting the left lung. Both VMAT and TD basically achieve the same protection for heart.

Chronic migraine is one of neurological disorders with high rate of disability, but sufficient attention has not been paid in this field. A large number of clinical studies have shown traditional Chinese acupuncture is a kind of effective treatment with less side effects. Through the analysis of literature regarding acupuncture and migraine published from 1981 to 2017 in CNKI and PubMed databases, the mechanism of neural plasticity of acupuncture on chronic migraine was explored. It was believed the progress of chronic migraine involved the changes of neural plasticity in neural structure and function, and the neural plasticity related with neural sensitization during the process of chronic migraine was discussed from three aspects of electrophysiology, molecular chemistry and radiography. Acupuncture could treat and prevent chronic migraine via the mechanism of neural plasticity, but there was no related literature, hindering the further spreading and development of acupuncture for chronic migraine.
