Objective To provide theoretical reference for clinical therapy of pulmonary adenocarcinoma by evaluating the effects of polysaccharides and pioglitazone on mouse model of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and to explore the relationship between inflammation and pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Methods One hundred mice were averagely divided into five groups, including control group, model group, polysaccharides group, pioglitazone group, polysaccharides and pioglitazone group (unite group). Polysaccharides solution (500 mg/kg) was given to polysaccharides group, pioglitazone solution (15 mg/kg) was given to pioglitazone group, polysaccharides solution (500 mg/kg) and pioglitazone solution (15 mg/kg) were given to unite group;and the equal volume of saline (10 mL/kg) was given to control and model group (1 t/d, 5 d/w, continuously 20 w ). The pulmonary adenocarcinoma induced by urethane was evaluated in each group at different time points. The levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were measured in each group at the 12th week and the 20th week respectively. Results The body weights were increased in the control group, which were decreased in other groups during urethane-injection, but increased continuously after the injection. At the 20th week, nodules were found in lung surfaces in all mice except mice of control group. The lung index was higher in all mice except mice of control group. The levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 were significantly higher at 12th week and 20th in model group, polysaccharides group, pioglitazone group, polysaccha?rides and pioglitazone group than those of control group. The levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 were significantly lower in polysaccharides group, pioglitazone group, polysaccharides and pioglitazone group than those of model group. Con?clusion Sustained inflammatory response is one of the risk factors for the development of lung adenocarcinoma. Polysaccha?rides and pioglitazone can reduce the level of inflammation in mouse lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting that both of them can be used as potential adjuvant in the clinical treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Ambu AuraOnce laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in Chinese patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods Fifty-six female patients, aged 20-64 yr, weighing 45-75 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiology physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ (Mallampati Ⅰ-Ⅲ), scheduled for elective breast surgery under general anesthesia, were equally and randomly divided into either Ambu AuraOnce LMA group (group A) or LMA Supreme group (group S) using a random number table.After induction of anesthesia, Ambu AuraOnce LMA was inserted in group A, and LMA Supreme was placed in group S.After successful placement of LMA, correct position was confirmed by fiberoptic laryngoscopy.Intermittent positive pressure ventilation was performed during surgery to maintain pulse oxygen saturation ＞ 95％ and partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 at 30-45 mmHg.The success rate, insertion time, extubation time, airway sealing pressure, peak airway pressure and occurrence of air leakage of LMA were recorded.After removal of the LMA, the blood stains on the LMA were checked, and the occurrence of hypoxemia, regurgitation, nausea, vomiting and bucking was recorded.The occurrence of sore throat, hoarseness and dysphagia was also recorded within 24 h after surgery.Results There were no significant differences in terms of insertion time, overall success rate, success rate at first attempt, removal of LMA time, airway sealing pressure, and incidence of air leakage of LMA, hypoxemia, blood stains on the LMA, sore throat, hoarseness and dysphagia between the two groups.The rate for correct position of LMA confirmed by fiberoptic laryngoscopy was significantly higher in group A than in group S.Conclusion Ambu AuraOnce LMA can safely and effectively be applied for airway management in Chinese patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Objective:To investigate the preoperative diagnostic value of 99Tc m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), and analyze the relevant factors affecting the imaging results. Methods:From June 2016 to September 2019, a total of 62 patients (15 males, 47 females, age range: 27-80 years) confirmed as PHPT by postsurgical pathology in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were retrospectively enrolled. The diagnostic efficacies of 99Tc m-MIBI planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging were compared using χ2 test. The differences of preoperative serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), Ca and the maximum diameter of lesion between the positive and negative groups of planar imaging were analyzed using independent-sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test. The region of interest (ROI) method was applied to calculate the uptake ratio of lesions to normal tissues at the early phase (T/Ne) and delayed phase (T/Nd) in positive cases of planar imaging. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of T/Ne, T/Nd with preoperative serum PTH, Ca and the maximum diameter of lesion. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of preoperative serum PTH, Ca and positive planar imaging were drawn and the cut-off values were obtained. Results:The sensitivity of planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging was 69.35%(43/62) and 87.10%(54/62) respectively ( χ2=5.729, P=0.017). The preoperative serum PTH, Ca levels and the maximum diameter of lesion in patients with positive planar imaging (253.32(107.00, 331.70) ng/L, 2.78(2.51, 2.87) mmol/L, (2.01±0.88) mm) were higher than those with negative planar imaging ((111.86±44.29) ng/L, (2.59±0.21) mmol/L, (1.42±0.55) mm; z values: -2.802, -1.978, t=3.300, all P<0.05). T/Ne was positively correlated with preoperative serum PTH ( rs=0.511, P<0.001) and the maximum diameter of lesion ( r=0.381, P=0.012), and T/Nd was positively correlated with preoperative serum PTH ( rs=0.538, P<0.001), Ca ( rs=0.348, P=0.022) and the maximum diameter of lesion ( r=0.463, P=0.002). The area under the ROC curve between preoperative serum PTH, Ca and planar imaging was 0.725 and 0.646, respectively. Preoperative serum PTH had a better predictive value with the optimal cut-off value of 150.4 ng/L. Conclusions:Preoperative serum PTH, Ca and the maximum diameter of lesion are positively correlated with 99Tc m-MIBI uptake in PHPT patients with positive planar imaging results. When preoperative serum PTH is lower than 150.4 ng/L, planar imaging is prone to false negative. SPECT/CT imaging has a significant value in preoperative diagnosis and the combination of PTH and CT can improve the positive rate.

Objective: To investigate the response to ¹³¹I therapy and to explore the influence factors in postoperative differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with negative preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (psTg) and iodine-positive lymph node after the first radioablation. Methods: From May 2016 to October 2018, 108 DTC patients (28 males, 80 females, age: (45.7±10.4) years) with negative psTg who underwent ¹³¹I treatment for the first time in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were retrospectively enrolled. All patients had iodine-positive lymph nodes, which were showed by SPECT/CT imaging 5-6 d after ¹³¹I treatment. The treatment response was evaluated at 6-24 month after ¹³¹I treatment. Patients were divided into excellent response (ER) group and non-excellent response (non-ER) group according to the response to the first ¹³¹I treatment. Independent-sample t test, χ² test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze differences of factors (e.g. age, gender, extraglandular infiltration) between the 2 groups, and then multivariate logistic regression was performed to find the influence factors for treatment response. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to evaluate the predictive value of the iodine-positive lymph node size in ¹³¹I treatment response. Results: A total of 82 patients (75.93%, 82/108) achieved ER, and 26 (24.07%, 26/108) was non-ER patients. There were significant differences in age (t=-2.540, P=0.016), extraglandular infiltration (χ²=5.764, P=0.016), T stage (χ²=19.857, P<0.001), N stage (χ²=14.145, P=0.001), risk stratification of recurrence (χ²=11.487, P=0.003), ultrasound results before ¹³¹I treatment (χ²=44.819, P<0.001), dose of the first ¹³¹I treatment (U=780.0, P=0.018), size (long diameter) of iodine-positive lymph node (U=184.0, P<0.001), and psTg level (U=776.0, P=0.037) between ER and non-ER groups. Multivariate logistic regression showed that age, size of iodine-positive lymph node and ultrasound results before ¹³¹I treatment were closely related to ¹³¹I treatment response. The odds ratio (OR) values (95% CI) were 1.123 (1.025-1.231), 4.275 (1.893-9.653) and 260.86 (8.123-8 376.764), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for non-ER were 100%(26/26), 70.73%(58/82), 77.78%(84/108), 52.00%(26/50) and 100%(58/58) respectively when the cut-off value of iodine-positive lymph node size was 5.5 mm. Conclusion The response of some DTC patients with negative psTg and iodine-positive lymph node after the first radioablation were non-ER. Age, ultrasound results before ¹³¹I treatment and size of iodine-positive lymph node are sensitive indicators for predicting clinical outcome in DTC patients with negative psTg and iodine-positive lymph node after the first radioablation.

Objective:To investigate the value of cellular immune status before initial 131I treatment for predicting treatment response in young and middle-aged patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods:From March 2018 to April 2019, 150 young and middle-aged patients with PTC (46 males, 104 females, age (40.0±9.8) years) who underwent total thyroidectomy and neck lymph node dissection in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were enrolled retrospectively. All patients underwent radioablation 1-2 months after operation, and the serum lymphocyte subsets (CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4/CD8) as well as natural killer (NK) cells were detected 1 d before the initial 131I treatment. Patients were divided into excellent response (ER) group and non-ER group according to the response of 6-12 months after 131I treatment. Clinicopathological characteristics, preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (psTg), initial 131I dose and lymphocyte subsets that might affect the response to 131I treatment were analyzed (independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, multiple logistic regression analysis). ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of significant factors for non-ER. Results:Of 150 patients, 84 cases were in ER group (56.00%), and 66 cases (44.00%) were in non-ER group. Age ( z=-2.86, P=0.004), M stage ( χ2=13.64, P<0.001), psTg ( z=-8.94, P<0.001), initial 131I dose ( z=-7.60, P<0.001), CD4 + ( t=2.50, P=0.014), CD4/CD8 ( z=-2.22, P=0.027) of the two groups were significantly different. Multivariate analysis showed that psTg (odds ratio ( OR)=1.27, 95% CI: 1.16-1.40, P<0.001) and CD4/CD8 ( OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.15-0.99, P=0.048) were independent factors for predicting 131I treatment response. The cut-off values of psTg and CD4/CD8 for predicting non-ER were 6.78 μg/L and 1.67, respectively. Conclusions:Cellular immune status before initial 131I treatment may predict treatment response in young and middle-aged patients with PTC. It indicates non-ER response when Tg is higher than 6.78 μg/L and CD4/CD8 is lower than 1.67.
