AIM: To investigate that nicotine inhibits HMGB1 expression and release in RAW264.7 cells.METHODS: (1) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in 6 wells plate, treated with 250 μg/L LPS and 1 μmol/L or 10 μmol/L nicotine, in which the cells treated with or without 250 μg/L LPS were regarded as nicotine 1 group (N1), nicotine 2 group (N2), LPS group (LPS) and control group (C), respectively. HMGB1 protein in the cell culture media and in cell nuclear was examined by Western blotting and the cellular HMGB1 mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR. (2) Transfected with antisense RNA or sense RNA of α~7 subunit-containing nicotinic receptor (α~7nAChR), RAW264.7 cells were treated with 250 μg/L LPS and 10 μmol/L nicotine, HMGB1 protein in the culture media was also tested by Western blotting.RESULTS: (1) HMGB1 mRNA level in C group was low (1 659.20±121.05) and no significant statistical difference among groups of N1, N2 and LPS was observed (P>0.05). (2) Higher HMGB1 accumulation in the cell culture media was detected in LPS group (445.34±28.52) than that in C group. Compared to LPS group, both N1 and N2 groups distinctly attenuated HMGB1 accumulation in culture media (P<0.05). (3) Nuclear HMGB1 accumulation was lower in LPS group than that in C group, and two different nicotine concentrations markedly increased the nuclear HMGB1 accumulation compared to LPS group (P<0.05). (4) No significant difference of HMGB1 levels in culture media between antisense RNA group and LPS group was observed (P>0.05). In sense RNA group, however, HMGB1 level was observably reduced compared to antisense group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that nicotine dramatically inhibits RAW264.7 cell nuclear HMGB1 translocation and extracellular release, and this effect relies on α~7nAch receptor expression.

Objective:To investigate the effects of organ dose modulation (ODM) on image quality and radiation dose to lens during sinus CT scanning.Methods:The GE Revolution EVO CT was used to scan the anthropomorphic head with ODM turned off as the control group and ODM turned on as the observation group. With different parameter combinations of tube voltage (140, 120, 100 kV), noise index (N17, N18), pitch (0.531, 0.969 at 20 cm collimation width, 0.516, 0.984 at 40 mm collination width), 24 series of images were acquired respectively. The tube current (mA) valuesat the anterior (A), left (L), posterior (P) and right (R) positions, volume CT dose index (CTDI vol) and dose length product (DLP) were recorded. Average CT values (AV), standard deviation (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and image quality factor (FOM) of ROI were calculated. Double blind method was used to evaluate the edge sharpness, soft tissue level, noise and artifact on a subjective scale of 3 points. Results:For the combinations of different scanning parameters, the radiation dose of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. The tube current attheposition A for the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.28, P<0.05). The differences oftube currentsatposotions of L, P and R, CTDI vol and DLP values in twogroupswere not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in SD, SNR, CNR and FOM between the two groups of images ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the subjective scores of edge sharpness, soft tissue gradation, noise and artifacts between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:ODM technique can effectively reduce the radiation dose of eye lens without decompromising the image quality, which could meet the requirements of diagnosis, and accord with the principle of radiological protection optimization.

Objective:To investigate the radiation dose and detection efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI) system for solid nodules in chest phantom with different scanning protocols.Methods:A total of 60 simulated nodules with different CT values and diameters were uniformly placed in each lung lobe and lung segment of the anthropomorphic chest phantom. GE Revolution evo CT was used to scan the chest phantom. 64 groups of images with different scanning parameters were collected at the tube voltage of 80, 100, 120, 140 kV, different noise indexes (NI 10-40 with interval 2), and other fixed parameters. The detection result of simulated nodules were recorded on AI software, and the detection rate and false detection rate were calculated, respectively, for different shapes of nodules. The mean volume CT dose index (CTDI vol) and dose length product (DLP) of each scan were recorded. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the detection rate and false detection rate of spherical nodules and irregular nodules at different tube voltages( P > 0.05), but there were and statistically significant with different noise indices ( F=10.57, 17.77, 9.33, P < 0.001). Different tube voltages had no statistical significance for CTDI vol and DLP ( P > 0.05), while different noise indices had statistical significance for CTDI vol and DLP ( F=59.87, 60.92, P < 0.001). The detection rates of nodules were moderately or weakly correlated with noise indices, CTDI vol and DLP ( r=0.43, 0.56, -0.58, -0.78, P<0.05), but no correlation with tube voltage ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Scanning protocol has an impact on AI detection efficiency of pulmonary nodules. Reasonable scanning parameters should be selected according to different image quality requirements in clinical practice.
