Objective To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).Methods The clinicopathological data of 75 patients(46 males,29 females;average age 38 years) with IBD confirmed by colonoscopy from March 2010 to March 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.Among the 75 patients,30 were with ulcerative colitis(UC) and 45 were with Crohn's disease (CD).All underwent whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.Enteroscope and CRP examination were performed within 1 week before or after PET/CT imaging.The results of 18F-FDG PET/CT were compared with those of located CT and enteroscope (x2,t tests).Linear correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between CRP and the SUVmax of lesions presented in IBD.Results (1) 18 F-FDG PET/CT accurately detected 65 patients with IBD,while located CT diagnosed 55 patients with IBD.The diagnostic sensitivities were significantly different:86.7％ (65/75) vs 73.3％ (55/75),x2 =4.167,P＜0.05.(2) Among 65 patients with positive results in 18F-FDG PET/CT,lesions were consistent with those detected by endoscopy in 33 (33/75,44.0％)patients.Results of the 2 methods in 24 patients (24/75,32.0％)were not completely same,those in 8 patients (8/75,10.7％)were totally different.18F-FDG PET/CT detected 145 lesions,while enteroscope only detected 119 lesions.Diffuse high FDG uptake was shown in intestinal wall in 40 of 65 patients,and mild mucosa injury was showed by enteroscope in 18 patients (45.0％,18/40).(3)Fortyeight of 65 patients detected by PET/CT were proven clinically to be in active stage,and the rest were in stable stage.The SUVmax of active stage group (8.31±4.21) was significantly higher than that of the chronic stage group (6.36±3.15;t =2.033,P＜0.05).There was a linear correlation between CRP and SUVmax of patients in active stage(r=0.453,P＜0.01).Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT is helpful to assess the activity of IBD and may serve as a supplementary diagnosing tool to detect the lesions under the epithelium of bowel,which are often false-negative by enteroscope.

Objective To evaluate the complementary value of 11C-choline (CHO) PET/CT to 18F-FDG PET/CT in the staging of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and diagnosis of HCC.Methods From December 2007 to January 2010,15 patients with locally advanced NPC and 76 patients with HCC were prospectively enrolled into this study.The research was approved by the ethics committee,and all patients signed informed consents.Whole body 18 F-FDG PET/CT scans were performed on all patients and regional 11C-CHO PET/CT was conducted in 43 patients (15 with NPC,28 with HCC).A lesion with increased uptake of either 11 C-CHO or 18F-FDG was considered positive.SUVmax,tumor/brain (T/B) ratio and tumor/liver (T/L) ratio were calculated for semi-quantitative analysis.Two-sample t test,x2 test,Fisher exact test and linear correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) The lesion SUVmax of 18 F-FDG was higher compared to 11C-CHO (12.81 ± 5.00 vs 6.84 ± 2.76 ; t =6.416,P ＜0.01) in NPC patients.However,11C-CHO PET/CT had a much higher T/B ratio than 18F-FDG (18.62 ±7.95 vs 1.38 ±0.59 ; t =8.801,P ＜ 0.01).Significant correlation was found between the 2 tracers with regard to NPC lesion uptake (r =0.712,P ＜0.01).Compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT,11C-CHO PET/CT had better delineation of intracranial invasion in 50.0％ of patients (12/12 vs 6/12; x2 =8.000,P ＜0.05),skull base invasion in 4/14 patients and orbital invasion in 3/3 patients.(2) 18F-FDG PET/CT showed positive findings in 63.1％ (48/76) of HCC patients.In 28 HCC patients with negative findings on 18F-FDG PET/CT,11 C-CHO PET/CT was positive in 71.4％ (20/28) of patients.The dual-tracer PET/CT improved the diagnostic sensitivity (89.5％,68/76) of HCC compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT (63.1％,48/76) alone (x2 =14.559,P ＜0.01).11C-CHO PET/CT was more sensitive than 18F-FDG PET/CT for the detection of well differentiated HCC (6/9 vs 35.7％ (5/14) ; P =0.214).For the detection of moderately differentiated HCC,the sensitivity of 11C-CHO and 18F-FDG PET/CT was similar to each other (6/7vs 72.0％ (18/25),P =0.648).11C-CHO PET/CT was more sensitive than 18F-FDG for the detection of HCC lesions ＜5.0 cm (72.7％ (16/22) vs 42.1％ (16/38) ; x2 =5.249,P ＜0.05),especially for lesions ＜ 2.0 cm (5/7 vs 0/7; P =0.021).Conclusions 11 C-CHO PET/CT could improve the accuracy in T staging of NPC.It might also play a complementary role for 18 F-FDG PET/CT in the detection of HCC.

Objective:To study the applied value of CREG Zygosity Principles in kidney transplantation.Methods:Relationship between HLA CREG zygosity and acute rejection incidence was analyzed in 173 kidney transplantation and the concerned principles were discussed.Results:HLA-A,B,DR antigens of 0 mismatch (MM) were 7.51%,4.04%,3.46%;and those of 2 MM were 39.88%,65.31%,58.38% respectively.Compared in CREGs,A,B,and DR,the 0 MMs were 49.71%,30.63% and 24.27%;whereas 2MMs were only 5.20%,12.14% and 8.67%.In HLA-A,B and DR antigens 0 MM,the incidence of acute rejection was 21.96%,21.38% and 7.51% respectively;and in 2MMs,those were 22.54%,20.23%,and 66.67% respectively.Compared by CREGs A,B and DR 0 MM,acute rejection reached 21.83%,20.21% and 6.14%;and in 2MMs the incidence of acute rejection were 22.22%,20.00% and 69.82%.Conclusion:CREGs model is a novel method of choosing kidney transplantation donor-recipients’s matching.

Objective To establish a diagnostic model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT and clinical data and assess its diagnostic potency for characterizing SPN.Methods From November 2004 to May 2014,164 patients with SPN who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan were retrospectively analyzed.The patients'clinical factors (age,gender,history of smoking and history of malignancy),information on CT (diameter,location and spiculated edge of the lesion) and metabolic information on PET imaging were collected to establish a diagnostic model by using the binary logistic regression.Then,the optimal operating point (OOP)of the established model was set.The diagnostic potencies of the established model and PET were assessed by ROC curve.Results Malignancy was diagnosed in 104 of 164 SPN patients.The rest 60 patients had benign diseases.The factors of age,spiculation(0:no spiculation,1:obvious spiculation) and metabolic information(0:≤ mediastinal blood pool,1:＞mediastinal blood pool) were demonstrated to be useful for the establishment of the model (x2 =5.486,16.240,33.855,all P＜0.05).However,the factors of gender,history of smoking,the diameter and location of lesions showed no influence for the model (x2 =2.452,0.453,0.127,0.390,all P＞0.05) and rejected from the model established.The history of malignancy was excluded from statistical analysis because there were only 2 patients with history of malignancy.The established model was as follows:P=1/(1+e-Z),z=-5.512+0.061xage+2.208xspiculation+3.767×metabolic increase.The ROC AUC of the established model and PET using two-point scoring scale (TPSS) for charactering SPN were 0.92(95％ CI:0.87-0.96)and 0.80(95％ CI:0.73-0.86).The model had higher diagnostic efficacy compared with TPSS (z=4.369,P＜0.05).When P=0.796 7 was set as an OOP,the diagnostic sensitivities of the model and PET for charactering SPN were 91.3％ (95/104) and 94.2％ (98/104) respectively,and no significant difference was found between them (x2 =0.800,P＞0.05).However,significant difference was found between the diagnostic specificities of them (80.0％ (48/60) vs 65.0％ (39/60);x2 =7.111,P＜0.05).Conclusions A new diagnostic model for characterizing SPN based on the information from 18FFDG PET,thin-section CT and clinical data is successfully established.Its sensitivity for diagnosis of lung cancer is high,and its specificity is superior to PET using with TPSS.This model has a potential value for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 18 F?FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of recur?rent and metastatic endometrial cancer. Methods A total of 62 patients with endometrial cancer from October 2004 to February 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic efficiency of 18 F?FDG PET/CT for the de?tection of recurrent and metastatic endometrial cancer was evaluated based on the results of pathological biopsy or clinical follow?up. Results There were 28 endometrial cancer cases with recurrence and metastasis, 9 ca?ses with a second primary cancer and without recurrence and metastasis of endometrial carcinoma. PET/CT imaging had false positive findings in 3 cases, false negative findings in 2 cases. The overall sensitivity, speci?ficity and accuracy of PET/CT for detection of recurrence and metastatic endometrial carcinoma were 93.3%(28/30), 90.6%(29/32), 91.9%(57/62), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT for the diagnosis of vaginal stump recurrence, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were 9/10 and 98. 1%(51/52), 95.7%(22/23) and 92.3%(36/39), 15/18 and 95.5%(42/44), respectively. Conclusion 18F?FDG PET/CT is a useful diagnostic tool for the detection of recurrent and metastatic endometrial cancer and a second primary cancer.

Objective To investigate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of treatment response and prognosis for patients.with recurrent uterine cervical cancer.Methods Forty-five patients with recurrent uterine cervical cancer underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT before and after treatment from October 2004 to December 2014,and their PET/CT results were retrospectively analyzed.Treatment response was categorized as complete metabolic response (CMR),partial metabolic response (PMR),stable metabolic disease (SMD) and progressive metabolic disease (PMD) according to PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used.The difference of progression-free survival (PFS) between patients with and without PMD was compared by x2 test.The PFS difference among patients with different SUVmax on pretreatment PET/CT was also compared byx2 test.Results After treatment,22.2％ (10/45) of patients were categorized as CMR,22.2％(10/45) as PMR,4.4％(2/45) as SMD and 51.1％ (23/45) as PMD by post-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT.Thirty-two patients had long-term (6-64 months) clinical follow-up.The PFS was 1-64 months and the median PFS was 5 months.The patients without PMD had a significantly better PFS than those with PMD(12.2 vs 4.2 months,x2 =7.223,P＜0.01).Patients with lesion SUVmax＜7.5 on pretreatment PET/CT had a better PFS than those with SUVmax ≥7.5 (16.3 vs 5.9 months,x2 =5.415,P＜0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT is useful forthe evaluation of treatment response and prognosis in patients with recurrent cancer of the uterine cervix.

Objective To assess the clinical value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the prediction of postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients with NSCLC.Methods Eighty-five patients (64 males,21 females; average age:58.0 years) with NSCLC were enrolled.All patients underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT within one week before surgical operation and 3 months after the operation.The diagnosis of recurrent cancer and metastasis was confirmed by pathologic findings,other imaging modalities and clinical follow-up.The diagnostic efficacy of PET/CT was calculated and the predictors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis were analyzed.x2 test and two-sample t test were used for statistical analysis.Results Among 85 patients,43 had recurrence and metastasis post operation.The postoperative recurrence and metastasis were detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT in 9.3％(4/43) within 6 months,30.2％(13/43) within 1 year,76.7％(33/43) within 2 years and 97.7％(42/43) after 2 years.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the detection of recurrent tumor and metastasis were 97.7％ (42/43),95.2％ (40/42),96.5％ (82/85) respectively.The preoperative cancer staging,size and SUVmax of primary tumor were significant factors for the prediction of postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis within 2 years (x2 =12.360,t=3.281 and 2.465,all P＜0.05),but not gender,age or pathological findings (x2 =0.639,0.012 and 3.800,all P＞0.05).Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT has an important role for the detection of postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients with NSCLC.Preoperative cancer staging,size and SUVmax of the primary tumor might be the predictive factors for postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis within 2 years.

Objective To investigate the imaging presentation of T-and NK/T-cell lymphomas with different pathology subtypes on 18F-FDG PET/CT.Methods A total of 95 patients (66 males, 29 females, average age 38.42 years) with T-and NK/T-cell lymphoma proved by pathology from June 2006 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax), nodal invasion, nodal distribution, extra-nodal involvement and staging were compared among 7 pathological subtypes of T-and NK/T-cell lymphomas.One-way analysis of variance, Fisher exact test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for data analysis.Results There were significant differences in terms of 18F-FDG uptake, nodal invasion, nodal distribution, extra-nodal involvement and staging among different pathological subtypes of T-and NK/T-cell lymphomas (F=2.937, P<0.05;Fisher exact test,all P<0.01;H=19.883, P<0.01).NK/T-cell lymphoma was found to be prone to invade the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, enteropathic type T-cell lymphoma was specific to the intestine, and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma presented with subcutaneous infiltration.All those 3 subtypes were quite specific in their extra-nodal involvement.Most patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (ATCL), peripheral unspecified T-cell lymphoma (PUTCL) and T immunoblastic lymphoma (TIBL) presented as stage Ⅳ disease.Widespread lymph node disease associated with splenic, parotid and serous membrane involvement were often seen in ATCL patients (most commonly to involve the parotid glands and serous membrane among the 7 subtypes).Nodal involvement was found in PUTCL patients, but extranodal involvement was rather non-specific.TIBL had a non-specific pattern of nodal involvement with low 18F-FDG uptake, lower than ATCL and the other 5 subtypes.Anaplastic large cell lymphoma subtypes had the highest 18F-FDG uptake when compared with the other 6 subtypes, but were less often to manifest as stage Ⅳ disease despite their preponderance for marrow and nodal infiltration.Conclusion Different pathological subtypes of T-and NK/T-cell lymphoma manifest different imaging presentations on 18F-FDG PET/CT, which are useful for understanding their biological characteristics.

Objective: To study status of social support and its influencing factors in female migrant workers. Methods: Study participants were selected with a random cluster design from participants 16-60 years old in non-registered residents from 10 districts in one city. Social support revalued scale and general questionnaire were used to survey social support status of female migrant workers in August-December of 2016. Results: There was statistic difference in social support among different districts, occupations, and income of female migrant workers (P<0.05) . Results of multiple linear regression demonstrates that districts, occupations, and income of female migrant workers were associated with social support scale (district standarized β=0.03, occupations standarized β=-0.03, incorue standarized β=0.10, P<0.05) . Conclusion We should be attentive to self-employed and Low-income participants among female migrant workers.

Aim The TRPV1 plasmid was transiently transfected into human embryonic kidney HEK 293T cells to establish the heterologous expression system of TRPV1-channel. Methods The transfection efficiency was confirmed under fluorescence mi-croscope and the TRPV1 protein expression was identified by u-sing Western blot, and the functional characteristics of the chan-nel were studied by using the method of confocal microscopy. Results The transfection rate could reach 40% ~50%; the transfected cells were found to have a clear band at the corre-sponding position that TRPV1 should be, which indicated that TRPV1 channel protein was expressed in the transfected cells. The confocal microscopy imaging result showed that the trans-fected HEK 293T cells were activated by TRPV1 channel ago-nist. Conclusion Transient transfection of HEK 293T cells with TRPV1 channel is successfully constructed and the heterol-ogous TRPV1 channel is verified to have normal calcium-media-ting function.
