Objective To evaluate the value of whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT in the detection of recurrence/metastasis of cervical cancer.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 95 patients with cervical cancer who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT after treatment.The lesion characteristics on 18F-FDG PET/CT were assessed visually and semi-quantitatively.A final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology,diagnostic treatment and clinical follow-up imaging.The data were analyzed by Kappa test.Results 18 F-FDG PET/CT was positive in 54 patients,including 24 with local recurrence and 30 with distant metastases.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the detection of recurrence/metastasis of cervical cancer were 98.1% (52/53),95.2% (40/42) and 96.8% (92/95),respectively.The positive predictive and negative predictive value were 96.3% (52/54) and 97.6% (40/41),respectively.18F-FDG PET/CT showed concordant results with pathological/clinical follow-up findings (Kappa =0.936,P<0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT is a sensitive and specific modality for the detection of recurrence/metastasis of cervical cancer and might be useful for further treatment plan.

Objective:To explore in state of Chlamydia trachomatis persistent infection,the STAT3-TLR2 axis may be activated and mediating abnormal secretion of inflammatory cytokines.Methods: We established acute infection and IFN-γinduced persistent infection model of Ct in HeLa cell.Gene transcription, cytokine secretion and protein expression were detected by using qRT-PCR, ELISA and Western blot respectively in STAT3-TLR2 signaling axis in each Ct infection model.Results: Persistent Ct infections upregulated the transcription of TLR2,significantly increased both the secretion of inflammatory cytokine IL-1αand the expression of STAT3 and TLR2,moreover,enhanced the activation of STAT3 simultaneously.Conclusion: In the Ct persistent infection induced by IFN-γ,the STAT3-TLR2 signaling axis activated significantly in HeLa cell.

Objective To investigate the endogenous carnosine,glutathione system and oxidative stress level in serum of patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM),and the potential relationships among them.Meth-ods The serum of 102 healthy people,96 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 74 patients with diabetic car-diomyopathy in the third affiliated hospital of QiQihar Medical University were enrolled.Carnosine content was mea-sured by ELISA.T-GSH,GSH and GSSG were detected by using micro-enzyme labeling assay.GSH-Px,GST and GRAC were detected by using colorimetry. The content of NO was detected by nitrate reduction method. The con-tent of H2O2was detected by using molybdic acid coloring method. The activities of NOS and CAT was determined by colorimetry. Results Compared with the healthy control group,the average level of human serum carnosine, GSH content,GRAC,GSH/GSSG ratio,GST activity and T-SH content in the DM and DCM group were signifi-cantly reduced(P < 0.05,respectively). NO content,H2O2and iNOS activity were increased,but CAT activity was decreased in DCM group.Conclusion Decreases of levels of serum carnosine and glutathione(GSH)and the imbalance of redox state were observed in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy,which may promote the occur-rence and development of the diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Objective:To further understand the real experience of the nurse in the rotation of NICU in neurosurgery.Methods:Qualitative research method was used to analyze the reflective diary of 26 nurses and the semi-structured interview data of 8 nurses.Results:Three primary themes and 11 secondary themes were extracted from the real experience of rotation of nurses in the neurointensive care unit: department integration and mental process, role competency and influencing factors, career expectations and coping strategies.Conclusions:At present, the integration process of the nurses in the neurointensive care unit is slow. Influenced by many factors, it is difficult to change their roles. It is the direction that nursing managers should pay attention to establish a diversified discipline training system and create a better organizational commitment

Objective:To prepare specific molecular probe 18F-AlF-1, 4, 7-triazacylononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid-(polyethylene glycol) 4-ZD2 ( 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2) for targeting extradomain-B fibronectin (EDB-FN), and evaluate its properties in vitro and in vivo. Methods:18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was prepared by one-step chelation labeling with Al 18F. The radiochemical purity and in vitro stability were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The partition coefficient (logP) of 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was evaluated, and the cell uptake experiment was carried out (triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells (1×10 6/tube) were divided into 3 groups ( n=3 per group); positive group, inhibition group, control group). MicroPET imaging was performed on MDA-MB-231 bearing nude mice ( n=3) after 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 injection (30, 60, 90, 120 min) and compared with blocking group ( n=3, NOTA-PEG 4-ZQ 2 was preinjected at 0.5 h before 18F-AIF-NOTA-PEG a-ZD2 injection). Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results:18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was successfully prepared. The optimized radiochemical yield was (33.8±2.1)% (undecay corrected, n=8) and the radiochemical purity was >96%. After incubating 120 min at 37 ℃, the radiochemical purity of 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 in human serum and PBS was >93%, indicating its good stability in vitro. The specific activity was (11.1±3.2) GBq/μmol, and logP was -1.43±0.05. The uptake value of tumor cells was (1.77±0.28) percentage applied activity (%AR)/10 6 cells at 120 min post-injection in positive group, and the total uptake value of the inhibition group was (0.76±0.07) %AR/10 6 cells ( t=4.30, P=0.032). MicroPET imaging in tumor bearing nude mice showed that 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was mainly metabolized by the liver and kidneys. The tumor uptake value was (1.94±0.21) percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) at 60 min post-injection and the tumor/muscle ratio was 3.80±0.25 at 90 min post-injection in the experimental group, while the tumor uptake value of tumor bearing nude mice in the blocking group was (0.43±0.09) %ID/g at 60 min post-injection ( t=3.18, P=0.006). Conclusions:18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 can be prepared simply with high labeling rate and good stability in vitro, with high tumor uptake and tumor/muscle ratio in microPET imaging, and good specificity and long tumor residence time. The probe has good application prospect in breast cancer with high expression of fibronectin subtype EDB-FN.
