Objective To explore the factors related to the tolerance to enteral nutrition (EN) in gastric carcinoma patients undergoing surgical treatment and the implementation strategy of EN.Methods Fifty-four patients with gastric carcinoma undergoing surgery from November 2011 to September 2012 in the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University were enrolled.EN were applied with sequential and gradual strategies.The tolerance status to EN was recorded.Factors related to the patient tolerance to EN were analyzed using single-factor and multiple-factor Logistic regression analysis.The incidences of gastrointestinal symptoms during EN application were recorded.Results Among the 54 patients,49 (90.74%) patients could tolerate EN.Single-factor analysis and multiple-factor Logistic regression analysis both showed that tumor staging (single-factor analysis:x2 =7.287,P =0.007 ; multiple-factor analysis:t =2.559,P =0.014) and surgical approach (singlefactor analysis:x2 =7.825,P =0.005 ; multiple-factor analysis:t =2.254,P =0.043) were major factors affecting patient tolerance to EN.Among the patients tolerant to EN,abdominal distension (19/49,38.8%) was the major gastrointestinal symptom of EN.Conclusion The sequential and gradual EN application strategy is suitable for the patients with gastric cancinoma after surgery,and can be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic mechanism of Mongolian medicine Sendeng-4 decoction for rheumatoid arthritis by 99Tc m-hydrazinonicotinamide-(polyethylene glycol) 4-E[(polyethylene glycol) 4-c((Arg-Gly-Asp)fk)] 2 (3PRGD 2) imaging. Methods:A total of 200 female SD rats (age: 6-7 weeks) were divided into collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) group ( n=176) and blank control group ( n=24). Rats in the CIA group were divided into Sendeng-4 decoction treatment group ( n=24), etanercept treatment group ( n=24), and negative control group ( n=24) by simple random sampling method. 99Tc m-3PRGD 2 SPECT/CT imaging was performed before and after modeling and treatment. The differences of target/non-target (T/NT) ratio and serological, pathological, and immunohistochemical results among groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. The correlation was analyzed by Pearson correlation or Spearman correlation analysis. Results:There were 95 (95/176) CIA models successfully established. The T/NT ratios of Sendeng-4 decoction treatment group and etanercept treatment group were lower than that of negative control group (0.260± 0.094, 0.238±0.099, 0.766±0.144 ; F=163.00, P<0.001), while there was no significant difference between the two drug treatment groups ( P>0.05). After drug treatment, serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and α vβ 3 were significantly lower than those of negative control group ( F values: 49.43-92.36, all P<0.001), pathological score was also lower than that of negative control group ( H=34.25, P<0.001), and levels of immunohistochemical makers (VEGF, TNF-α, α vβ 3, CD31, CD34) were also lower than those of negative control group ( H values: 13.51-26.84, all P<0.001), while there were no significant differences between the two drug treatment groups (all P>0.05). The T/NT ratios were positively correlated with above indictors in Sendeng-4 decoction treatment group ( r values: 0.56-0.59, rs values: 0.49-0.69), etanercept treatment group ( r values: 0.50-0.55, rs values: 0.46-0.70) and negative control group ( r values: 0.55-0.80, rs values: 0.58-0.86, P<0.001 or P<0.05). Conclusion:Verified by 99Tc m-3PRGD 2 SPECT/CT imaging and molecular pathology, Mongolian medicine Sendeng-4 decoction can inhibit neovascularization by down-regulating vascular factors such as VEGF, resulting in delaying the progression of the disease and improving clinical symptoms.

Objective:To compare the quantitative parameters of myocardial blood flow based on SPECT imaging and those determined by PET imaging in coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) animal models, in order to clarify the accuracy and feasibility of SPECT quantitative analysis in CMVD.Methods:Seven Saanen milk goats (either male or female; (20±5) kg), were selected for establishing CMVD animal models by microsphere embolization. Dynamic myocardial perfusion imaging (DMPI) with one-day method of resting + ATP stress 99Tc m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) SPECT was performed before and after the modeling, respectively. One-day method of resting + ATP stress 13N-ammonia PET DMPI was performed after the modeling. The quantitative parameters determined by SPECT and PET after the modeling, including stress myocardial blood flow (SMBF), resting myocardial blood flow (RMBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR), were compared by paired t test. Parameters based on SPECT after modeling were compared with those of baseline levels. Bland-Altman analysis was applied to access the agreement between SPECT and PET. Results:Four of the seven experimental goats were fully imaged. The RMBF(ml·g -1·min -1; 1.52±0.27 vs 1.29±0.20), SMBF(ml·g -1·min -1; 0.74±0.19 vs 0.99±0.26), and MFR (0.53±0.16 vs 0.76±0.10) of the left ventricle (global) obtained by SPECT and PET in CMVD models were not significantly different ( t values: 3.121, 1.195, 1.930, all P>0.05). Among left anterior descending branch (LAD), left circumflex (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA), the RMBF, SMBF and MFR values quantified by SPECT and PET were neither statistically significant ( t values: 0.182-2.734, all P>0.05). Bland-Altman analysis showed the quantitative parameters measured by SPECT and PET DMPI in left ventricle, LAD, LCX, RCA had a good consistency. The difference between the two methods for determining RMBF was up to 0.63 ml·g -1·min -1, and that of SMBF was up to 0.66 ml·g -1·min -1. All points are within the 95% confidence limit; MFR differs at most by 0.56, and 14/16 points were within 95% confidence limit. The RMBF (ml·g -1·min -1) of left ventricle measured by SPECT after modeling was not significantly different from that before modeling (1.52±0.27 vs 1.57±0.36; t=0.166, P>0.05); the SMBF (ml·g -1·min -1) and MFR after modeling were significantly lower than those before modeling (0.74±0.19 vs 2.34±0.89, 0.53±0.16 vs 1.39±0.31, t values: 3.836, 6.309, both P<0.05). Similar results were found when comparing the parameters of LAD/LCX/RCA after modeling with those before modeling (RMBF t values: 0.191, 0.235, 0.195, all P>0.05; SMBF/MFR t values: 0.411-19.911, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The blood flow quantitative parameters measured by SPECT imaging have a good consistency with those based on PET imaging, and the myocardial blood flow quantitative analysis of SPECT can evaluate the blood flow perfusion of CMVD.
