A normalised weighted-sum score can then be calculated from the answers as a quality indicator. The score sheet can also be used to suggest how the quality might be improved, e.g. by focussing on questions with high weight, or by encouraging consideration of aspects given insufficient attention. Whilst the overall aim of this framework and scoring system is to improve the scientific quality of treatment planning studies and papers, it might also be used by reviewers and journal editors to help to evaluate scientific manuscripts reporting planning studies.
The presence of previously unnoticed bilateral macroscopic salivary gland locations in the human nasopharynx was suspected after visualization by positron emission tomography/computed tomography with prostate-specific membrane antigen ligands (PSMA PET/CT). We aimed to elucidate the characteristics of this unknown entity and its potential clinical implications for radiotherapy.

The presence and configuration of the PSMA-positive area was evaluated in a retrospective cohort of consecutively scanned patients with prostate or urethral gland cancer (n=100). Ruboxistaurin Morphological and histological characteristics were assessed in a human cadaver study (n=2). The effect of radiotherapy (RT) on salivation and swallowing was retrospectively investigated using prospectively collected clinical data from a cohort of head-neck cancer patients (n=723). With multivariable logistic regression analysis, the association between radiotherapy (RT) dose and xerostomia or dysphagia was evaluated.

All 100 patients demonstrated a dema an opportunity to improve their quality of life.
To present our technique for liver cancer treatments with proton therapy in pencil beam scanning mode and to evaluate the impact of uncertainties on plan quality.

Seventeen patients affected by liver cancer were included in this study. Patients were imaged and treated in forced breath-hold using the Active Breathing Coordinator system and monitored with an optical tracking system. Three simulation CTs were acquired to estimate the anatomical variability between breath-holds and generate an internal target volume (ITV). The treatment plans were optimized with a Single Field Optimization technique aimed at minimizing the use of range shifter. Plan robustness was tested simulating systematic range and setup uncertainties, as well as the interplay effect between breath-holds. The appropriateness of margin was further verified based on the actual positioning data acquired during treatment.

The dose distributions of the nominal plans achieved a satisfactory target coverage in 11 out of 17 patients, while in tscanning in forced deep expiration breath-hold. The initial data on plan robustness and patient positioning suggest that the choices in terms of planning technique and treatment margins are able to reach the desired balance between target coverage and organ at risk sparing.

This phase 1 trial aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD; primary objective) of a p38-MAPK inhibitor, ralimetinib, with radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (TMZ), in the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients.

The study was designed as an open-label dose-escalation study driven by a Tite-CRM design and followed by an expansion cohort. Ralimetinib was administered orally every 12h, 7days a week, for 2 cycles of 2weeks at a dose of 100, 200 or 300mg/12h. Patients received ralimetinib added to standard concurrent RT (60Gy in 30 fractions) with TMZ (75mg/m
/day) and 6 cycles of adjuvant TMZ (150-200mg/m
on days 1-5 every 28days).

The MTD of ralimetinib was 100mg/12h with chemoradiotherapy. The three patients treated at 200mg/12h presented a dose-limiting toxicity one patient had a grade 3 face edema, and two patients had a grade 3 rash and grade 3 hepatic cytolysis (66%). Of the 18 enrolled patients, 15 received the MTD of ralimetinib. At the MTD, the grade≥3 adverse events during concomitant chemoradiotherapy were hepatic cytolysis (2/15 patients), dermatitis/rash (1/15), lymphopenia (1/15) and nausea/vomiting (1/15). No interaction of TMZ and ralimetinib when administrated concomitantly has been observed. Inhibition of pMAPKAP-K2 (-54%) was observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

This phase 1 trial is the first trial to study the combination of a p38-MAPK inhibitor, ralimetinib, with radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (TMZ), in the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients. The MTD of ralimetinib was 100mg/12h. The most frequent dose-limiting toxicities were hepatic cytolysis and rash.

Although, butandiol dehydrogenases are known to play a key role in the production of 2,3-butandiol, their potential as biocatalysts is still not well studied. Here, we investigate the biocatalytic properties of the meso-butanediol dehydrogenase from Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13T (BlBDH). The encoding gene was cloned with an N-terminal StrepII-tag and recombinantly overexpressed in E. coli. BlBDH is highly active towards several non-physiological diketones and α-hydroxyketones with varying aliphatic chain lengths or even containing phenyl moieties. By adjusting the reaction parameters in biotransformations the formation of either the α-hydroxyketone intermediate or the diol can be controlled.
