Objective To investigate the effective indicators for the prognosis assessment in pa?tients with multiple myeloma (MM) by 18F?FDG PET/CT imaging. Methods A total of 36 patients(22 males, 14 females;median age 63.5 years) with MM confirmed by clinical or pathology from July 2007 to November 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The number of lesions detected by PET/CT, the number of lesions with SUVmax>2.5, the SUVmax and MTV of each lesion were calculated. The correlation analysis was performed between the number of lesions detected by PET or CT,the number of lesions with SUVmax>2.5, the SUVmax , MTV and serumβ2?microglobulin (β2?M) , respectively. The patients were divided into differ?ent groups according to the development of lesions and the survival situation during the follow?up ( 4-92 months) . Kaplan?Meier analysis and multivariate Cox model were used to analyze the prognostic significance of the number of lesions detected by PET or CT and the number of lesions with SUVmax>2.5, the SUVmax and MTV. Results Both the number of lesions with SUVmax>2. 5 and MTV showed positive correlations with blood β2?M (r=0.776, 0.954, both P<0.001), while the number of lesions detected by PET/CT and SUVmax were not correlated with β2?M ( r=0.053, 0.063, 0.398, all P>0.05) . The number of lesions with SUVmax>2.5 and MTV in the progressive group( n=14) were significantly higher than those in the regressive group(n=22):66.57±4.59 vs 31.95±4.75, t=4.95, P<0.001;(287.54±31.94) cm3 vs (72.17±14.35) cm3, t=6.93, P<0.001. The number of lesions with SUVmax>2.5 and MTV were significantly higher in the dead group(n=15) than those in the survival group(n=21):65.73±4.32 vs 30.90±4.87, t=5.10, P<0?001;(267.28±34.89) cm3 vs (76.39±15.67) cm3, t=5.49, P<0.001. The best cutoff values for predicting pro?gression?free survival and overall survival were both 42 for the number of lesions with SUVmax>2. 5, and those were 114.74 and 105.48 cm3 for MTV, respectively. The progression?free survival rate was worse in the patients with higher index than those with lower value (χ2=18.20, 29.74, both P<0.001) , and the same re?sult was also seen for the overall survival rate (χ2=19.07, 25.34, both P<0.001) . Conclusion The number of lesions with SUVmax>2.5 and MTV on 18 F?FDG PET/CT images could predict the progression?free survival and overall survival rates of patients with MM, which may provide accurate prognosis information.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of macrophages (MCs) on the differentiation of mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs). MethodsA total of 24 C57BL/6N mice were used to obtain MCs by peritoneal irrigation, and the supernatant was collected to obtain the conditioned medium of MCs (MC-CDM). Activin A, bone morphogenetic protein 4, and fibroblast growth factor were used to induce the differentiation of mouse iPSCs into HPCs. The differentiation of HPCs were randomly divided into control group (normal medium) and experimental group (MC group; use of MC-CDM medium on day 5 of induction). Morphology, immunofluorescence assay, and Western blot were used to compare the morphology of HPCs and the expression of related proteins between the control group and the MC group. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsHPCs derived from iPSCs were established in vitro, and HPCs had the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes. Immunofluorescence assay showed that compared with the D12 control group, the D12 MC group had a significant increase in the protein expression of the HPC-specific protein CK19 (0.901±0.072 vs 0.686±0.097, t=-3.093, P<0.05). Western blot showed that compared with the D12 control group, the D12 MC group had a significant increase in the protein expression of the HPC-related protein CK19 (1.922±0.103 vs 1.448±0.012, t =-7.881, P <005), as well as a significant increase in the protein expression of the autophagy-related protein LC3 (1.392±0.042 vs 1.101±0048, t =-5.978, P<005). ConclusionMCs can promote the differentiation of mouse iPSCs into HPCs, possibly by increasing the autophagy level of HPCs.

Objective To evaluate the long-term outcome of fully covered self-expandable metal stents(FCSEMS)for the treatment of benign biliary strictures(BBS). Methods Between June 2008 and September 2013, 68 patients with BBS receiving endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and FCSEMS placement were retrospectively enrolled. Data of endoscopic treatment, stricture resolution and recurrence were collected, and related risk factors were analyzed. Results FCSEMSs were successfully placed in all patients and removed in 93.4%(57/61). The median stent duration was 9.0(range 0.2-37.1)months. Stricture resolution occurred in 74.2%(46/62)patients. During median follow-up of 54.0 (range 2.5-96.0)months,stricture recurrences were seen in 16.7%(6/36)patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that distance between stricture and hepatic bifurcation of less than 1.5 cm(P=0.034,OR=6.395, 95%CI:1.153-35.464), and stent migration(P= 0.024, OR= 0.153, 95%CI:0.030-0.782)were significant risk factors for stricture resolution. Meanwhile, the stricture length longer than 1.0 cm(P=0.028, HR = 6.766, 95% CI:1.233-37.122)was a significant risk factor for stricture recurrence. Conclusion Endoscopic treatment combined with FCSEMS can achieve excellent efficacy in resolving BBS with low recurrence rate. However, location and length of BBS, as well as stent migration may impair its effectiveness.
