Objective To observe the osteogenic effect of tissue-engineered bone constructed by poly-L-lysine-demineralized bone matrix (PLL-DBM) enriched bone marrow stem cells in the space of goat transverse process bone fusion model and explore a new tissue-engineered bone construction method. Methods PLL was used to decorate goat DBM to prepare a matrix material (PLL-DBM). The osteo-genic effect of tissue-engineered bone constructed by PLL-DBM enriched bone marrow cells ( Group Ⅰ A) was detected in goat lumbar intertransverse graft bone model; autogenous iliac bone (Group Ⅰ B), DBM enriched bone marrow (Group Ⅱ C) and DBM (Group Ⅱ D) were used as controls. The osteogenesis of the bones in the fused segments of four groups were compared and evaluated by X-ray, three-dimensional CT, CT value testing and biomechanical testing. Results The results of X-ray showed that the fusion ranges in groups ⅠA and ⅠB were basically the same, which were significantly wider than that in Group Ⅱ, with no fusion detected in Group Ⅱ D. The CT value was (696.76±10275) HU in Group Ⅰ A and (766.03±69.24) HU in Group B, which were significantly higher than that in Group Ⅱ C (P <0.05), but there was no statistical difference in CT value between Groups Ⅰ A and Ⅰ B (P > 0.05). The CT val-ue in Group Ⅱ C was significantly higher than in Group ⅡD (P <0.01). There was no statistical differ-ence between Groups Ⅰ A and Ⅰ B in the maximum load and bending strength (P > 0.05). The maxi-mum load and bending strength in Groups Ⅰ A and Ⅰ B were significantly higher than that in Group Ⅱ C (P < 0.05), and the two indices in Group Ⅱ C were significantly higher than that in Group Ⅱ D (P <0.01). Conclusion Tissue-engineered bone constructed by PLL-DBM enriched bone marrow cells is an ideal tissue engineered bone and its osteogenic potential is similar to that of autologous bone.

Objective This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT Metabolic and Heterogeneity Parameters Combined with Clinical Features Before Definitive Chemoradiotherapy(D-CRT)in predicting the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)Patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 106 patients with ESCC who received D-CRT at the first affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between January 2017 and December 2021.All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination before the treatment.The primary tumor′s metabolic and heterogeneity parameters were obtained through data processing.All patients were followed up for overall survival.The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between clinical features,tumor metabo-lism and heterogeneity parameters and patient prognosis.Results The 1-and 1.5-year overall survival rates of all patients were 77.4%and 51.9%.The median survival time was 20 months.Univariate analysis showed that N stage,M stage,metabolic tumor volume,total lesion glycolysis,heterogeneity index-2(HI-2),and coefficient of variation with a threshold of 40%maximum standard uptake value(CV40%)were correlated with the prognosis of ESCC(all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that N stage and CV40%were independent predictors of prognosis in patients with ESCC(P = 0.039 and P<0.001,respectively).Conclusion N stage and tumor metabolic heterogeneity parameter CV40%,which offering a degree of predictive value,are closely related to the prognosis of patients with ESCC treated with D-CRT.

Objective: To explore the gene lifestyle interaction of ATP2B1-eNOS pathway gene polymorphisms on blood pressure. Methods: Using the convenient cluster sampling method, a total of 872 junior middle school students from 3 school in July to August 2019, were included in the final analysis. The survey included questionnaire investigation, anthropometry measurement and blood sample collection. After DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, the gene polymorphisms ( ATP2B1 gene rs 17249754 and rs 2070759, eNOS gene rs 1799983 and rs 2070744) were genotyped. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between gene polymorphism and blood pressure phenotypes. Results: The prevalence of high blood pressure was 9.52 % in adolescents(9.15% in boys and 9.87% in girls),with no significant sex difference ( χ 2=0.13, P =0.72). There were statistically significant differences between boys and girls in age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI) classification, birth weight, daily school physical exercise time and daily playing video games time ( P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that, eNOS gene rs 2070744 polymorphism was associated with high blood pressure (HBP) under the recessive model, and the risk of HBP in CC genotype carriers were higher than that TT/TC genotype carriers ( OR=3.88, 95%CI =1.00-15.02, P < 0.05 ). The results of gene lifestyle interaction showed that ATP2B1 gene rs 2070759 polymorphism gene had an interaction with the time of physical exercise in school ( P interaction =0.05). In the subgroup with daily physical exercise time at sch ool ＜1 hour , the TT/TG genotype carriers were associated with increased risk of HBP compared with GG genotype carriers( OR= 2.65 , 95%CI =1.11-6.30, P <0.05). But in the subgroup with daily physical exercise time in school ≥1 hour, rs 2070759 was not significantly associated with HBP. Conclusion eNOS/rs 2070744 polymorphisms are associated with risk of HBP among adolescents. There is significant interaction between ATP2B1 gene rs 2070759 polymorphism and physical exercise time in school on HBP. Adolescents should spend more time on physical activity in school, which will help to maintain normal blood pressure level.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most common neurodegenerative disease,typically affecting individuals aged 65 and older.Mild cognitive impairment is generally regarded as a precursor stage of AD.The underlying molecular and cellular processes of AD can be visualized in vivo using PET/CT technology.Multi-modal imaging based on Aβ PET,tau PET,and FDG PET within the ATN framework can effectively characterize the core neuropathological features of AD.Many novel PET tracers have recently been developed and applied to deeply probe the pathophysiological dysfunction and internal environmental alterations in AD.Therefore,this review will summarize the recent advances of amyloid,tau protein,FDG,and neuroinflammatory PET probes in AD research within the ATN framework.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of treatment using non-selective versus highly selective partial splenic embolization in patients with hypersplenism secondary to liver cirrhosis.Methods:The clinical data of patients with hypersplenism secondary to hepatitis B cirrhosis who underwent splenic embolization at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Leshan People's Hospital from July 2017 to July 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Of 65 patients with hypersplenism, there were 42 males and 23 females, with age of (58.5±9.8) years. Twenty-six patients underwent splenic artery non-selective partial splenic embolization (the non-selective group) and 39 patients underwent partial splenic embolization using highly selective intubation (the highly selective group). The postoperative peripheral hematological indexes, liver function, operation-related complications and portal vein color Doppler ultrasonography were compared between the two groups.Results:The white blood cell count and platelet count of patients in the 2 groups were significantly higher than those before operation. The white blood cell count at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after operation and the platelet count at 12 and 24 weeks after operation in the highly selective group were significantly higher than those in the non-selective group ( P<0.05). Compared with the non-selective group, the total bilirubin, ICG-R15, portal vein diameter and portal vein blood flow in the highly-selective group significantly lower ( P<0.05). The incidences of 0/Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ pain in the non-selected group was significantly higher when compared with that in the highly selected group (5/10/11/1 vs. 12/22/7/0), ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidences of postoperative complication between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with non-selective partial splenic embolization, highly selective partial splenic embolization gave more stable and lasting treatment outcomes in patients with hypersplenism caused by liver cirrhosis with better recovery of blood-related indicators, better improvement in postoperative liver function and relief of portal hypertension symptoms.

Background and Purpose:Accurate differentiation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)from mass-forming chronic pancreatitis(MFCP)is clinically significant.The application of dual-layer spectral detector CT(DLCT)in pancreas has been explored.This study aimed to investigate the value of DLCT in distinguishing resectable PDAC from MFCP.Methods:We retrospectively collected data of 33 patients with resectable PDAC and 19 patients with MFCP admitted to Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from September 1,2021 to May 31,2023.Prior to surgery,patients underwent enhanced DLCT scans,including arterial phase(AP),parenchymal phase(PP)and venous phase(VP).DLCT quantitative parameters,including attenuation enhancement fraction(AEF),lesion-to-parenchyma ratio(LPR)and iodine enhancement fraction(IEF)were calculated.Difference analysis was conducted using independent sample t-test or chi-square test.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using binary logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used for performance evaluation.P＜0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:Statistically significant differences were observed between PDAC and MFCP in AEF_AP/PP,LPR40_VP,IEF_PP/VP,carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9)and double-duct sign(all P＜0.05).The spectral combined model composed of LPR40_VP and IEF_PP/VP exhibited the best discriminatory efficacy,surpassing CA19-9,double-duct sign and AEF_AP/PP(all P＜0.05).The combined model demonstrated an area under curve(AUC)of 0.841,sensitivity of 90%,specificity of 73%,and accuracy of 79%.Conclusion:DLCT has certain potential in differentiating resectable PDAC from MFCP.Spectral quantitative parameters can complement CA19-9 and outcome shortcomings of conventional CT in distinguishing resectable PDAC from MFCP.
