Although conventional photon radiotherapy can eradicate tumors, the presence of radioresistance has limited treatment efficacy. Nowadays the multiple radiotherapies carried out around different physics beam types will provide more options for tumor treatment. Under the current trend of anti-tumor immunotherapy, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), as an important component of the tumor microenvironment, significantly influence tumor progression and prognosis of comprehensive tumor therapy through reciprocal regulation with radiotherapy. The aim of this review is to summarize the influence of radiotherapy with various beam types on the biological effects of TAMs, and to explore the physiological basis for the conjunction of radiotherapy and immunotherapy based on TAMs. Ultimately, these data will provide an evidence-based medical rationale and translational research basis for optimizing the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy as a treatment modality for tumors in the future.

The well-known technique of microtomy, which is an essential cutting tool, was first developed for light and transmission electron microscope uses, but it is currently also utilized to prepare specimens for atomic force microscopy (AFM), ion microscopy using a focused ion beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultramicrotomy can only be used on soft substances and metals that are sufficiently ductile to be cut with a diamond knife. Before being sliced by a microtome, many soft materials must first go through numerous preparatory processes.

Introduction: Pilots have an increased incidence of cutaneous melanoma compared to the general population; occupational exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of several potential risk factors. Cockpit windshields effectively block UVB (280-315 nm) but further analysis is needed for UVA (315-400 nm). The objective of this observational study was to assess transmission of UVA through cockpit windshields and to measure doses of UVA at pilots' skin under daytime flying conditions.

Ion irradiation has routinely been used to create defects or even pattern two-dimensional (2D) materials. For efficient defect engineering, that is, choosing the proper ion fluence to achieve the desired concentration of defects, it is of paramount importance to know the probability of creating defects as a function of ion energy. Atomistic simulations of ion impacts on 2D targets can provide such information, especially for free-standing systems, but in the case of supported 2D materials, the substrate can strongly affect defect production.

Objectives: To compare the effects of different adjuvant treatments for different pathological types of early-stage cervical cancer post-surgery.
Materials And Methods: Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages I-II squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (ADC), and adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) who underwent hysterectomy and postoperative radiotherapy (RT) from 2004 to 2015 in the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results program database were analyzed. The clinicopathological characteristics and survival rates were compared.
