Objective To evaluate the advantage and clinical value of javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma. Method Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma were made on electronic databases of CBM, CNKI, Wangfang, VIP and PubMed from 1990 to February 28, 2015. Quality of the included RCTs was assessed by Jadad scoring , and Meta-analyses were performed by RevMan5.3 software. Results Seven RCTs involving 575 patients were included in Meta-analysis. All studies were in low quality. The results of Meta-analyses showed that Javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma, compared with control groups, could increase the recent curative effect (P < 0.000 01) and improve the quality of live (P = 0.000 8), decrease the hematologic toxicities (P = 0.03) and the incidence rate of radioaction esophagitis (P = 0.02), but not enough evidence was found to prove that it can enhance survival rate (P = 0.25). Conclusions The results of Meta-analysis indicate that javanica oil emulsion injection may have therapeutic effects on the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Yet the effects of javanica oil emulsion injection still need to be confirmed by large multi-center randomized controlled trials.

Objective:To synthesize a new β-amyloid (Aβ) radioactive tracer (2-((2-6-[ 18F]fluoro-5-(methylamino)pyridin-2-yl)benzothiazol-6-yl)thio)ethanol ( 18F-FINH-Me), and evaluate its biological distribution and affinity to Aβ plaques. Methods:18F-FINH-Me was synthesized by GE FN automated module, and the quality control and stability of 18F-FINH-Me were determined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The biodistribution of 18F-FINH-Me was observed in normal C57BL/6 mice ( n=25). MicroPET/CT imaging was performed in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) model mice( n=5) and matched normal C57BL/6 mice( n=5). The brain tissues of mice were taken for Aβ immunohistochemical staining. 18F-FINH-Me autoradiography was performed in postmortem brain sections of one AD patient (female, 69 years old) and one healthy volunteer (female, 66 years old). Results:The decay correction yield of 18F-FINH-Me was (53±4)% ( n>20) with the radioactive purity of more than 98% ( n>20) and the specific activity of 79.90-122.00 GBq/μmol ( n=10). 18F-FINH-Me was stable in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) after incubation for 4 h at room temperature. The biodistribution showed that 18F-FINH-Me was mainly excreted through the liver and kidneys. MicroPET/CT imaging showed that 18F-FINH-Me was obviously uptaken in the brain of AD mice. After injection for 1-2 min, the uptake of 18F-FINH-Me reached the peak, and the elution speed was fast (whole brain standardized uptake value: 0.73±0.17 for 1 min, 0.31±0.06 for 30 min). The immunohistochemistry showed that there were abundant Aβ plaques in the brain of AD model mice but not in the normal C57BL/6 mice brain. The autoradiographic results showed that 18F-FINH-Me exhibited substantial plaque labeling in brain sections of one AD patient but not in the healthy volunteer. Conclusion:18F-FINH-Me may be an effective PET agent for detecting Aβ plaques in brain.
