Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of using dual-energy CT scanner to differentiate two contrast media bismuth and gadolinium. Materials and Methods Two phantoms containing contrast media of different ratio were scanned on dual-energy CT. Group 1 was mixture of iodine and gadolinium solution with volume ratio of 0∶1, 1∶6, 1∶1, 6∶1 and 1∶0. Group 2 was mixture of iodine and bismuth solution with mass ratio of 0∶1, 1∶6, 1∶1, 6∶1, 1∶0. Monoenergetic image reconstruction was performed at 80 keV. Liver VNC software was used for virtual scanning and iodine concentration analysis. Results Under 80 keV reconstruction, the measured CT attenuation of Group 1 was 379-383 HU, and 170-173 HU in group 2. The iodine concentration of two groups was not signiifcantly different between the calculated and actual iodine concentration (P>0.05). The dual-energy CT can distinguish two contrast media. Iodine and gadolinium contrast media were not statistically different, while iodine and bismuth contrast media agent could be easily differentiated. Conclusion Dual-energy CT can distinguish two contrast media with different attenuation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds into the pancreas of pig under CT-guidance. Methods Twelve healthy pigs were equally divided into 6 groups.~(125)I seed implantation into the pancreatic tail under CT-guidance was performed in pigs of study groups (group A-E), while ghost seeds that contained no radioactive materials were used in the control group (group F). Imaging examination and laboratory tests, including serum amylase, hepatic and renal functions, were conducted before and 1, 7, 15, 21, 30, 60 days after the procedure. Every two pigs (group A-E) were sacrificed each time at 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 days after treatment, and specimens of pancreas, duodenum, liver, kidney, etc. were collected and sent for pathologic examination. Results The ~(125)I seeds were successfully implanted in all pigs. During the follow-up period, no severe complications occurred. Imaging and pathologic studies demonstrated that in study groups necrosis of pancreatic tissue appeared around the implanted ~(125)I seeds in 15 days, the necrosis area increased significantly in 45 and 60 days, and in 75 days the necrosis size remained quite the same as seen in 60 days. No necrosis was found in the control group (group F) 60 days after treatment. No serious complications, such as effusions, hemorrhage or necrosis of the adjacent duodenum, stomach, liver or kidney, occurred 75 days after the treatment. Conclusion Percutaneous interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds into the pig's pancreas under CT-guidance is safe and feasible.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of CT-guided ~(125)I seed implantation with simple Gemcitabine chemotherapy for the treatment of unresectable pancreatic carcinoma. Methods Forty-six untreated patients with unresectable advanced pancreatic carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups: group A (n = 22), treated with ~(125)I seed implantation and group B (n = 24), treated with intravenous chemotherapy using Gemcitabine only. The clinical benefit response (CBR), objective tumor response (OTR), safety and the improvement of living quality were evaluated and analyzed. Results Three months after the treatment, the OTR rate of group A and group B was 45.5% and 8.33% respectively (P < 0.05). The CBR rate of group A and group B was 47.1% and 25% respectively (P < 0.05). No significant difference in PFS between group A and group B (P > 0.05). And also, the incidence of hematological toxicity and complication between two groups were of no significant difference. Conclusion For the treatment of advanced unresectable pancreatic carcinoma, both simple Gemcitabine chemotherapy and ~(125)I seed implantation are able to obtain a moderate objective response, although ~(125)I seed implantation seems to be more effective than Gemcitabine in improving the living quality and survival rate.

Objective:To evaluate the role of miR-188-5p in oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R) injury to mouse neuroblastoma (N2a) cells and its relationship with small ubiquitin-like modifier-specific proteases 3 (SENP3).Methods:N2a cells were cultured and divided into 5 groups ( n=23 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), OGD/R group, group NC, transfection of mir-188-5p agonist group (group M) and transfection of mir-188-5p inhibitor group group (group I). Cells in group C were cultured routinely.Cells in group NC, group M and group I were transfected with mir-188-5p negative control miRNA, agonist and inhibitor, respectively.N2a cells were subjected to OGD for 3 h followed by restoration of oxygen-glucose supply to establish the model of OGD/R injury.At 24 h of oxygen-glucose restoration, the cell viability was recorded by the cell counting kit-8 assay, the amount of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) released was detected, the expression of miR-188-5p and SENP3 mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and SENP3 expression was determined by Western blot.The targeting relationship between miR-188-5p and SENP3 mRNA was detected using dual luciferase reporter assay. Results:Compared with group C, the cell viability was significantly decreased, amount of LDH released was increased, and expression of SENP3 and its mRNA was up-regulated in the other 4 groups, miR-188-5p expression was down-regulated in OGD/R and I groups, and miR-188-5p expression was up-regulated in group M ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with group OGD/R, the cell viability was significantly decreased, amount of LDH released was increased, and expression of SENP3 and its mRNA was up-regulated, and miR-188-5p expression was down-regulated in group I, and the cell viability was increased, amount of LDH released was decreased, expression of SENP3 and its mRNA was down-regulated, and miR-188-5p expression was up-regulated in group M ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The dual luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-188-5p could act directly on SENP3. Conclusion:miR-188-5p is involved in OGD/R injury, which is associated with targeted down-regulation of SENP3 expression in N2a cells.

Objective To establish a big animal model of secondary infection of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods Thirty young pigs were allocated to experiment group ( n = 20 ) or control group (n = 10). The ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of a mixture solution of 5% sodium taurocholate and 5% trypsin (0. 5 ml/kg body weight) into the main pancreatic duct and ligation of the proximal end of the main pancreatic duct, and then the second step was injecting 3 ~ 4 ml living Escherichia coli (E coli) suspension (108/ml) to the necrotic area of the pancreas by fine needle aspiration technique under CT guidance in the experiment group, and by injecting 3 ~ 4 ml inactivated E coli in the control group using the same method. Multi-slice spiral CT dynamic enhanced scan was performed in both groups 1 day and 2 or 3 days after ANP modeling and 5 days after bacterial injection to calculate the CTSI score. Serum amylase, blood WBC count and blood bacterial culture was performed in both groups. 5 days later, the animals were scarified to observe the infected or necrosis foci, and perform smear, bacterial culture and pathologic examinations of the tissue around the infected or necrosis foci. Results The ANP secondary infection model was successfully established in 16 of the 20 animals in the study group, with a success rate of the 80.0% (16/20). There were 17 foci where the positive rate of bacterial culture was 100% (17/17 foci), and the success rate of blood bacterial culture was 68.8%(11/16). In the control group, the ANP model was established successfully in 7 of 10 animals (70%), except for one case of contamination, only one foci was identified;the positive rate of bacterial culture and the success rate of b|ood bacterial culture was 14.3% (1/7). Serum amylase and white blood WBC count increased with similar trends, WBC count in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). The mean CT severity index(CTSI) was all ≥4 in beth groups, indicating the severity was moderate to severe. Conclusions A stable and reliable model of secondary infection of ANP in big could be established satisfactorily by injecting active E. coli into the pancreatic necrosis tissue under CT guidance, which helps further pathogenic mechanism studies and clinical studies, especially imaging studies.
