Objective To investigate the synthesis, in vivo biodistribution of 99Tcm-HYNIC-PEG4-E[PEG4-c (RGDfk)] 2 (99 Tcm-Galacto-RGD2), and its potential usage for targeted imaging of mice orthotopic glioma.Methods 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 was synthesized straightforward and its radiochemical purity and stability and distribution in mice were analyzed.MicroSPECT-CT imaging was done in a mice orthotopic glioma model, which had been set up with U87MG cells, after administration of 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2.Region of interest (ROI) of glioma was drawn on SPECT-CT section images to quantify tumor uptake (％ ID/cm3).Glioma was harvested for pathological examination.Linear-regression was used to analyze the relationship between integrin αvβ3 and tumor uptake (％ID/cm3).Results The radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 was (97.7 ±0.8)％ and stable in vitro.Hynic-Galacto-RGD2 could specifically bind to integrin αv β3 of tumor cells with a IC50 of (18 ± 3) nmol/L.After tail vein injection, 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 was rapidly discharged from the blood, liver, kidneys and had a relative low concentration in normal brain tissue.MicroSPECT-CT imaging demonstrated that, after 60 min of injection, this drug was well uptaken by glioma tumor than that after 30 min (t =7.13 ,P ＜0.05), and the tumor to normal brain tissue (T/B) uptake ratio of 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 was 13.92± 3.43.Injection of HYNICGalacto-RGD2 2 min prior to 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 injection extensively reduced the uptake of radioactive drug in tumor tissue (t =11.36, P ＜ 0.05).Bland-Altman analysis showed that tumor volume based on SPECT-CT imaging measurement had almost same value with the tumor reference volume (95％ CI =-11.94％-11.92％).In addition, the tumor uptake of 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 and cellular integrin αvβ3 expression level had a linear relationship (R2 =0.896).Conclusions Stable 99Tcm-Galacto-RGD2 can be synthesized easily and is applicable for microSPECT-CT imaging analysis of orthotopic glioma in mice together with the evaluation of integrin αvβ3 level in tumor.

Objective To investigate the safety and short-term efficacy for evaluation of the low-profile visualized intraluminal support device (LVIS stents )compression and lantern release shapes for the treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Methods From December 2014 to October 2015,15 patients with intracranial wide-neck aneurysm (16 aneurysms)received LVIS stent treatment, whose stent shapes had shortening changes were analyzed retrospectively. Thecompression mode refers to the length of LVIS stent to be shorter for more than 5 mm than the label release value by operation. Thelantern mode refers to the widened diameter of LVIS stent at the neck of aneurysm. The metal coverage rate in the posterior communicating segment of internal carotid artery after stent compression was calculated, and its safety and efficacy were assessed immediately after procedure and at 3 months after procedure. Results (1 )Using LVIS stent-assisted treatment,16 wide-necked aneurysms were treated,including 8 posterior communicating aneurysms,6 ophthalmic aneurysms,one anterior choroidal artery aneurysm and one M2 bifurcation fusiform aneurysm. The aneurysm neck was 1. 8 to 8. 0 mm (mean 3. 9 ± 1. 7 mm). A total of 15 LVIS stents were implanted (one patient with 2 aneurysms were treated with 1 stent). All the stents were released by using compression mode,and 4 of the patients (4 stents)also used the lantern mode at the same time. (2 ) After LVIS stenting,the Raymond grade Ⅰ embolization was in 10 aneurysms (62.5%),the covered branch arteries were patent immediately after procedure. (3)No perioperative technology-related hemorrhagic and ischemic complications occurred. The success rate of stent implantation was 100%(15/15). (4)The metal coverage rate after stent compression in the internal carotid artery posterior communicating segment was 30. 3%-38. 5%(mean 35. 0 ± 2. 8%). (5)After LVIS stent implantation,15 patients were followed up by whole brain DSA for 3 to 5 months (mean 3. 2 ± 0. 5), 14 aneurysms were cured on imaging (Raymond gradeⅠ),and no aneurysm recurred. All branch arteries covered by the stents did not have vascular occlusion. There was no in-stent restenosis or parent artery occlusion. The total disability rate was 6. 7%(1/15),and no patient died. Conclusions LVIS stents can increase aneurysm neck metal coverage rate and short-term cure rate throughcompression andlantern modes,while does not affect the covered branches. Choosing the appropriate cases for thelanternmode may be beneficial to the short-term protection of the vascular branches at the aneurysm necks.

Objective:To retrospectively assess the relationship between immune disorder and acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) in patients after severe polytrauma.Methods:Totally 205 patients with severe polytrauma admitted to Tongji Hospital from April 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled as the observation group, and 23 healthy volunteers were served as the control group. According to the diagnostic criteria of AGI, all patients were divided into the AGI group (with AGI) or N-AGI group (without AGI), AGI patients were divided into the S-AGI group or L-AGI group according to the severity. The levels of cytokines and lymphocyte subset were evaluated at day 1, 7, and 14 after severe polytrauma. The differences between groups were statistically analyzed. The independent risk factors of AGI were analyzed by Logistic regression analyzed.Results:Totally 79.5% (163/205) of patients with severe polytrauma were accompanied by AGI. There were significant differences in the ratio of Tc, Th at day 1 after trauma, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, IL-10, the ratio of Ts, Th/Ts, Treg at day 7 after trauma, and the levels of IL-8, IL-10,the ratio of Ts, Th/Ts, Treg at day 14 after trauma between the AGI group and N-AGI group ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in the ratio of Tc, Th, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α at day 1 after trauma and the ratio of Ts, Th/Ts, Treg, the levels of IL-8, IL-10 at day 7 and 14 after trauma between the S-AGI group and L-AGI group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that Ts 7 d ( OR=2.018, 95% CI: 1.105-5.364, P=0.013), Treg 14 d ( OR=3.612, 95% CI: 1.375-8.476, P=0.006), IL-6 7 d ( OR=1.824, 95% CI: 1.011-5.835, P=0.024), IL-10 14 d ( OR=2.847, 95% CI: 1.241-6.216, P=0.014), TNF-α 7 d ( OR=1.754, 95% CI: 1.215-5.441, P=0.018) were independent risk factors in patients with AGI after severe polytrauma. Conclusions:AGI is more easily occurred in patients with the heavier immune disorders after severe polytrauma. AGI can also aggravate pre-existing immune disorders in patients after severe polytrauma.

Objective:To retrospectively assess early risk factor of persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome (PICS) in patients with severe polytrauma, in order to deepen the understanding of the pathological changes of chronic critical illness (CCI) after severe polytrauma.Methods:A total of 276 patients with severe polytrauma admitted to Department of Trauma Surgery of Tongji Hospital from March 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled. Inclusion criteria included patients who suffered severe polytrauma, and injury severity score (ISS) ≥27, age ≥18 years old, and had length of hospital stay >15 days. Exclusion criteria included previous medical history of malignancy, or immunological, consumptive, and metabolic diseases. The patient’s clinical characteristics, ISS scores, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), sequential organ failure assessment, APACHEⅡ scores, and nutrition and immune indexes on day 3 after injury were collected. The difference between the PICS group and N-PICS group were performed by Student’s t test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. The early risk factors were assessed in patients with PICS after severe polytrauma by logistic regression analysis. Results:According to the diagnostic criteria of PICS, all enrolled patients were divided into two groups: PICS group ( n=102) and N-PICS group (without PICS, n=174). Compared with the N-PICS group, patients in the PICS group were older and associated with more brain and chest injuries. On the third day after injury, serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10, and the ratio of Treg cells were significantly higher, the number and ratio of NK cells subset, and the ratio of activated T lymphocyte were significantly lower in the PICS group than in the N-PICS group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the age>65 years old ( OR=2.375, 95% CI: 1.442-4.531), GCS ≤8 scores ( OR=3.431, 95% CI: 1.843-8.512), IL-10 >10 pg/mL ( OR=2.173, 95% CI: 1.751-5.614), the ratio of Treg cells >7% ( OR=3.871, 95% CI: 1.723-6.312), and the occurrence of traumatic brain and chest injuries ( OR=2.846, 95% CI: 1.522-5.361) were the early risk factors in patients with PICS after severe polytrauma. Conclusions:Age>65 years old, GCS score, IL-10, the ratio of Treg cells, and the occurrence of traumatic brain and chest injuries could be used as the early risk factors in patients with PICS after severe polytrauma. The discovery of early risk factors will help identify patients at high risk of PICS after severe polytrauma, and create the possibility for early intervention.

Objective:To investigate the types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in polytrauma patients at different stages after polytrauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on polytrauma patients admitted to multiple trauma centers from June 2020 to December 2021. The inclusion criteria were patients >18 years old and treated due to polytrauma. Exclusion criteria included an admission time of more than 48 h after trauma, a history of malignancy, or metabolic, consumptive, and immunological diseases. The early stage was defined as the period of ≤48 h after polytrauma, and the middle stage was defined as the period between 48 h and 14 days. The patient’s medical history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging examination, injury severity score (ISS), and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were collected. The types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in different stages after polytrauma were analyzed, according to the diagnostic criteria of each type of shock. The differences between the groups were compared by Student’s t test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The incidence of the early and middle stage shock after polytrauma were 73.1% and 36.4%, respectively, with statistically significant difference between stages ( P<0.01). There were significant differences in the incidence of hypovolemic shock (83.6% vs. 28.4%), distributed shock (13.7% vs. 80.9%) and cardiogenic shock (3.5% vs. 6.6%) between stages (all P<0.05). The incidence of obstructive shock (8.4% vs. 9.7%, P>0.05) was similar between stages. The incidence of undifferentiated shock was 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively. There were 9.5% patients with multifactorial shock in the early stage and 14.4% in the middle stage. Totally 7 combinations of multifactorial shock were found in different stages after polytrauma. In the early stage, the combination of HS and DS accounted the highest ratio (42.3%) and followed by HS and OS for 28.8%. In the middle stage, the combination of HS and DS was the most common (48.6%) and followed by DS and OS (24.3%). Conclusions:The incidence of shock in polytrauma patients is high. Different types of shock can occur simultaneously or sequentially. Therefore a comprehensive resuscitation strategy is significant to improve the success rate of treatment.
