Objective To investigate the influence on the behavior of withdrawal and relapse after deep brain stimulation of bilateral nucleus accumbens in morphine-dependent rats. Methods The rats with a strong unconditioned preference were discarded in preconditioning test, the selected rats were distributed into five groups randomly. After operation,morphine hydrochloride was injected subcutaneously into SD rats for 12 days (once every day,initial 5 mg/kg,increasing by 5 mg/kg per time,stable in 20 mg/kg ). A modified electrical circuit was used to procedure the DBS,the parameter was 130 Hz,150 A,60 s,l h/d,14 d. CPP test was used to exam the effect of DBS. A minor morphine dose (3 mg/kg) was injected to induce the behavior of relapse, and CPP was tested again after 24 h. Two-way ANOVA was performed on the data with Bonferroni posttest. Result ①After CPP training,CPP score of group morphine, morphine + sham and morphine + DBS was ( 155. 87 ± 20. 45 ) s, (107.33 ± 18.10)s,(135.45 ±22.09)s,and had significant difference with group of control( ( -70.34 ± 15.40) s)(t = 9.45,P<0.01; t = 6.94,P<0.01;t = 8.04,P<0.01).②After 7 days' DBS,the CPP score in group of morphine + DBS reduced significantly compared to group of morphine( t = 4.21, P<0.01) and morphine + sham( t=1.10, P<0.05).0n the 14th day,there was more pronounced reduction ( t = 5. 15, P<0.01; t = 3.92, P< 0.01). ③ 24 hours after the minor morphine dose was injected,the CPP score in morphine + DBS didn't increase significantly, and had significant difference with group of morphine ( t = 4.04, P<0.01) and morphine + sham ( t= 4. 13, P<0.01). Conclusion DBS bilateral nucleus accumbens in morphine-dependent rats can interfere the behavior of morphine-induced CPP and relapse.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT and multi-parameter MRI (mpMRI) in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 22 patients ((72.6±6.2) years) with pathologically confirmed PCa in the Affiliated Taizhou People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between April 2021 and September 2022. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and mpMRI examination within 30 d, and the imaging parameters were collected, including PSMA-SUV max, FDG-SUV max, minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC min), mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC mean), PSMA-SUV max/ADC min, PSMA-SUV max/ADC mean, FDG-SUV max/ADC min, FDG-SUV max/ADC mean. Patients were divided into groups based on the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading (≤3 vs >3) and serum total prostate specific antigen (TPSA; ≤20 μg/L vs >20 μg/L), and differences of imaging parameters between groups were compared (Mann-Whitney U test or independent-sample t test). ROC curves were generated to evaluate the diagnostic ability of each parameter for different levels of PCa. χ2 test and ROC curve analysis were used to compare the detection rate and diagnostic efficiency of three imaging methods for primary focus, lymph node metastasis, and bone metastasis in PCa. Results:Differences were found between ISUP≤3 ( n=6) and >3 ( n=16) groups in PSMA-SUV max/ADC min, PSMA-SUV max/ADC mean, PSMA-SUV max, and ADC min ( z values: from -2.65 to -2.36, t=3.60, P values: 0.002-0.018). But there was no significant difference found between TPSA≤20 μg/L ( n=5) and >20 μg/L ( n=17) groups in all indices ( z values: from -1.76 to -1.45, t values: -1.19 and 1.28, all P>0.05). The optimal cut-off value for PSMA-SUV max/ADC min in differentiating high-grade and low-grade PCa was determined to be 22.628×10 3. In the patient-based analysis, no statistical difference was found in the detection rate of PCa primary tumors among 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and mpMRI ( χ2=1.91, P=0.767). However, the detection rates of lymph node and bone metastasis among three imaging methods were significantly different (72.73%(16/22), 59.09%(13/22), 36.36%(8/22) and 81.82%(18/22), 63.64%(14/22), 45.45%(10/22); χ2 values: 6.03, 6.29; P values: 0.049, 0.043). 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT resulted in a 36.36%(8/22) increase in N stage and the 40.91%(9/22) increase in M stage compared to mpMRI. Conclusions:PSMA-SUV max/ADC min is a valuable parameter for differentiating high-grade and low-grade PCa. 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT demonstrates superior detection rate of PCa lymph node and bone metastasis compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT and mpMRI, and exhibits higher diagnostic efficiency, so it can be recommended for NM staging in patients with PCa.
