Technical note: reconstructing dose distributions from manually planned electron boosts in breast radiotherapy.

PURPOSE: In breast radiotherapy, delivery of manually-calculated electron boosts limits retrospective dose-response analyses as dose distribution is unavailable. This work evaluates the feasibility of reconstructing dose distributions from manually planned electron boosts in breast-conserving radiotherapy. METHODS: Only 72 out of 198 breast cancer patients had complete stored dose distributions from sequential electron boosts in the REQUITE study. Arbitrary data from 70/72 patients were used to develop and validate dose reconstruction method. Twenty patients were used to determine optimal parameters for Monte-Carlo-based (MC) electron dose reconstruction on RayStation (v.11B-R), considering CT-calibration curve, MC-history number, andcalculation grid resolution. Remaining 50 patients were used to quantify dose reconstruction accuracy. The similarity between reconstructed and stored dose was evaluated using 3D-gamma index and dosimetric parameters extracted from breast and tumour bed contours. Dose difference location was evaluated using dose-location histogram. RESULTS: Calculation grid resolution significantly impacted electron dose distribution (p < 0.01), where the finest grid (0.15 cm) showed highest similarity to stored doses. CT-calibration curve and MC-history number had a negligible influence on dose reconstruction. Dosimetric difference between reconstructed and stored doses was < 1 Gy for breast and tumour bed. Reconstructed dose was achieved > 90% gamma passing rate in the validation set. However, around 2.5 Gy dose differences were observed at the skin and tissue interface regions. CONCLUSIONS: Retrospective electron boost dose reconstruction is feasible with acceptable accuracy, and could increase data completeness in large cohort studies. Caution is advised when assessing dose near tissue interface and further validation is needed outside the REQUITE dataset.

Electron capture dissociation mass spectrometry in characterization of post-translational modifications.

Electron capture dissociation (ECD) represents a significant advance in tandem mass spectrometry for the identification and characterization of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of polypeptides. In comparison with the conventional fragmentation techniques, such as collisionally induced dissociation and infrared multi-photon dissociation, ECD provides more extensive sequence fragments, while allowing the labile modifications to remain intact during backbone fragmentation. This unique attribute offers ECD as an attractive alternative for detection and localization of PTMs. The success and rapid adoption of ECD recently led to the culmination of The 1st International Uppsala Symposium on Electron Capture Dissociation of Biomolecules and Related Phenomena (October 19-22, 2003, Stockholm, Sweden). Herein, we present a general overview of the ECD technique as well as selected applications in characterization of post-translationally modified polypeptides.

Direct integration of pervaporation as a sample preparation method for a dedicated "electronic nose".

The present study investigates the possibility of monitoring the bioproduction of a complex aroma profile with an analytical electronic aroma-sensing technique, the so-called "electronic nose", combined with a pervaporative sample enrichment method necessary to overcome the ethanol interference on the sensors' response. It presents in detail the development of a direct integrated pervaporation-electronic nose unit for a simple and fast analysis, which are key criteria for this technique to be broadly implemented. The system developed was investigated using model solutions simulating the muscatel wine must fermentation. It proved to be able to evaluate different relevant aroma compounds in solutions of varying degree of complexity, and also in the presence of ethanol, which is a major interference on the sensors' response to the aromas. The transient sensors' response was investigated in detail, revealing information for sample discrimination and reducing the analysis time. The system developed allowed a simple, fast, and selective analysis, therefore permitting a high sample throughput over time, with the possibility of fully automation.
