A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO REDUCE THE CONTAMINATION OF PHOTONEUTRONS AND PHOTONS IN ORGANS/TISSUES DURING RADIOTHERAPY

A Feasibility Study to Reduce the Contamination of Photoneutrons and Photons in Organs/Tissues during Radiotherapy

Introduction: Due to out-of-field effects in radiation therapy, the determination and reduction of both unwanted photon and photoneutron doses are essential for the reasonable assessment of the risks to healthy tissues.Material and Methods: By the application of a multilayer shield throughout the phantom and using two models for photoneutron and ph

Mechanisms of Lung and Intestinal Microbiota and Innate Immune Changes Caused by Pathogenic Enterococcus Faecalis Promoting the Development of Pediatric Pneumonia

Bacterial pneumonia is the main cause of illness and death in children under 5 years old.We isolated and cultured pathogenic bacteria LE from the intestines of children with pneumonia and replicated the pediatric pneumonia model using an oral gavage bacterial animal model.Interestingly, based on 16srRNA sequencing, we found that the gut and lung mi
