Objective To observe the correlation between 1-hour postload plasma glucose and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in elderly male patients with hypertension.Methods One hundred and twenty six elderly male patients with hypertension were enrolled and divided into four groups: normal glucose tolerance with normal 1 h plasma glucose (1 hPG) group (low-NGT, n=42); normal glucose tolerance with high lh plasma glucose group (high-NGT, n=23);impaired glucose tolerance group (IGT, n=27) and diabetic group (n=84). The differences of blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid and intimia-media thickness among groups were analyzed.Results OGTT 1 hPG in high-NGT group was similar with IGT group[(12.0±1.1)mmol/L vs. (11.1±1.8)mrnol/L, P>0. 053 ,but significantly higher than that in Iow-NGT group ((12.0±1.1)mmol/L vs. (9. 1±1.4) mmol/L, P<0.01]. The value of IMT was gradually increased in four groups (P<0.05) and it was (1.02±0. 12) mm in high-NGT group. OGTT 1 hPG was the independent risk factor for IMT(P< 0.01).Conclusions OC-TT 1h plasma glucose is associated with atherosclerosis in elderly male hypertensive people.

Background and purpose:Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of lymphoma patients. This study aimed to explore clinical and pathological features and bone marrow infiltration status in lymphoma patients with diffused high bone marrow glucose uptake on18F-FDG PET/CT.Methods:It was a retrospective study. Bone marrow infiltration status, pathological and clinical data from 62 cases of pathologically diagnosed lymphoma and diffused high bone marrow glucose uptake were analyzed.Results:Distribution of histopathological subtype in those cases was in accordance with that in previously reported Chinese lymphoma patients. Significant difference was demonstrated in standard uptake value (SUV) between pa-tients with aggressive and indolent histopathological subtypes (8.43vs 5.38,P=0.048), patients with and without B symp-toms (8.30vs 5.72,P=0.033), and patients with and without bone marrow infiltration (8.78vs 6.96,P=0.020). 32 patients were diagnosed as “bone marrow infiltration” by bone marrow biopsy. There was significant difference in histopathologi-cal subtype distribution between patients with and without bone marrow infiltration (P=0.001). In patients with bone marrow infiltration, there were higher proportions of mantle cell lymphoma, nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma, Burkitt’s lym-phoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In contrast, patients without bone marrow infiltration suffered more from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, peripheral T cell lymphoma, enteropathic T cell lymphoma and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal type). False positive results in bone marrow glucose uptake may be caused by fever or anemia.Conclusion:Diffused high bone marrow glucose uptake on18F-FDG PET/CT should be evaluated in combination with the uptake values, clinical features and histological subtypes, to minimize the misdiagnosis and to better guide staging and therapy of lymphoma.

Objective:To study the signal enhancement of lung adenocarcinoma nude mice after injection of immunomagnetic bead solution (magnetic beads conjugated with monoclonal antibody NJ001) in micro-CT scan. Methods:The models of lung adenocarcino-ma nude mice were established by injecting SPC-A1-luc cells through the tail vein and were validated by bioluminescence imaging (BLI). The nude mice were divided into three groups: physiological saline group, bare magnetic bead group, and immunomagnetic bead group. Three groups of nude mice were injected with physiological saline, 750 nm bare magnetic bead solution, and immuno-magnetic bead solution via the tail vein every week, and micro-CT scan was taken before and 4 h after injection. Immunohistochemis-try (IHC) was used to detect the expression of antigen SP70 in tumor tissues. Results:The tumor was detected in the immunomagnetic bead group at the fourth week, whereas in the physiological saline and bare magnetic bead groups, the tumor was undetectable until the sixth week. The tumor intensities detected at the sixth week by micro-CT scan in the physiological saline, bare magnetic bead, and immunomagnetic bead groups were 59.05 ± 0.66, 60.69 ± 0.55, and 58.25 ± 0.32 before injection and 60.30 ± 1.83, 61.05 ± 0.68, and 67.41±3.82 after injection, respectively. Compared with the tumor intensities before injection, they significantly increased after injec-tion in the immunomagnetic bead group;the difference was statistically significant (P=0.0079). By contrast, no statistical significance was observed in the tumor intensities before and after injection in the physiological saline and bare magnetic bead groups (P=0.1867 and P=0.3839, respectively). Conclusion:The immunomagnetic beads had enhanced effect on micro-CT scan of lung adenocarcinoma nude mouse models.

Objectives To evaluate accurately hepatocyte injury degree of severe hepatitis patients by quantifying plasma DNA of severe hepatitis patients and study its clinical application in diagnosis of severe hepatitis comparing with ALT.Methods Six milliliters of peripheral blood samples were collected from 185 patients with hepatitis B which are divided into four groups, severe hepatitis with 30 cases, acute hepatitis with 20 cases, chronic B hepatitis with 90 cases, and liver cirrhosis with 45 cases. 100 healthy controls were enrolled. Circulating DNA was extracted from plasma by the BILATEST virus DNA/RNA extraction kit and quantified with a novel duplex real-time PCR assay, respectively.Results Plasma DNA levels of hepatitis B patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (104.2 ng/ml vs. 23.4 ng/ml (median),P=0.0000).A significant difference of plasma DNA concentration was found between severe hepatitis and acute hepatitis (P=0.0018), and chronic B hepatitis (P=0.0000), and liver cirrhosis (P=0.0000).The median value of serum ALT of hepatitis B patients was 107.5 U/L, much higher than that of the healthy controls (24.1 U/L,P=0.0000).The levels of serum ALT were significantly different between severe hepatitis and acute hepatitis (P=0.0024), while there was no remarkable difference between severe hepatitis and chronic B hepatitis (P=0.0600), liver cirrhosis (P=1.0000). Moreover, for distinguishing severe hepatitis from liver cirrhosis and chronic B hepatitis, the plasma DNA assay was notably superior to ALT by the analysis of receive operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC, 0.95 vs. 0.51,P=0.0000; 0.86 vs. 0.34,P=0.0000).Conclusion The results by measuring plasma DNA of hepatitis B patients with the novel duplex real-time quantitative PCR showed that plasma DNA may be considered as a robust predictive marker for accurately evaluating hepatocyte injury degree of severe hepatitis patients.

To meet the needs of management of medical case information and biospecimen simultaneously, we developed a novel medical case information system integrating with biospecimen management. The database established by MS SQL Server 2000 covered, basic information, clinical diagnosis, imaging diagnosis, pathological diagnosis and clinical treatment of patient; physicochemical property, inventory management and laboratory analysis of biospecimen; users log and data maintenance. The client application developed by Visual C++ 6.0 was used to implement medical case and biospecimen management, which was based on Client/Server model. This system can perform input, browse, inquest, summary of case and related biospecimen information, and can automatically synthesize case-records based on the database. Management of not only a long-term follow-up on individual, but also of grouped cases organized according to the aim of research can be achieved by the system. This system can improve the efficiency and quality of clinical researches while biospecimens are used coordinately. It realizes synthesized and dynamic management of medical case and biospecimen, which may be considered as a new management platform.
