Objective To investigate the risk factors and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after intra--coronary stent implantation.Methods A retrospective and case control study was done with data analysis in 325 patients who underwent intra-coronary stent implantation from January 2010 to March 2011.The patients were divided into two groups as per the criteria of AKI identified on the 7th day after implantation of stent.The variables to be studied included:(1) age,gender,hypertension,diabetes,cerebrovascular disease,left ventricular insufficiency,peripheral angiopathy,creatinine,urea nitrogen,estimated glomerular filtration rate,hyperuricemia,proteinuria,emergency operation,hydration,and medication (ACEI/ARB,statins) before operation; (2) dose of contrast media,operation time,hypotension during intra-operative period; and (3) postoperative:hypotension.The variables were analyzed with the process of One-way ANOVA and multivariate Logistical regression analysis.Consequently,the independent risk factors of AKI in patients after intra-coronary stent implantation could be found.Further,the prognosis of AKI patients was analyzed.Results Of the 325 patients,51 (15.7％) developed AKI.Compared the normal group,hospital stay (P ＜ 0.01 ) and in-hospital mortality (P ＜ 0.05) increased significantly in the AKI group.Monofactorial analysis showed that age,pre-operative laboratory and clinical data including left ventricular insufficiency,peripheral angiopathy,creatinine,urea nitrogen,estimated glomerular filtration rate, hyperuricemia, proteinuria, hydration and emergency operation, and intraoperative information such as operation time and hypotension,and postoperative hypotension in AKI patients group were significantly different in comparison with control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that elderly age (OR =0.253),pre-operative proteinuria (OR =5.351 ),preoperative left ventricular insufficiency ( OR =8.704),eGFR ≤ 60 ml/ ( min · 1.73 m2 ) ( OR =6.677 ),prolonged operation time ( OR =1.017),intra-operative hypotension ( OR =25.245 ) were independent risk factors of AKI ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions AKI is a common complication and associated with increase in mortality after intra-coronary stent implantation.Increase in age,pre-operative proteinuria,pre-operative left ventricular insufficiency,pre-operative low estimated glomerular filtration rate,prolonged operation time,intra-operative hypotension are the independently risk factors associated with AKI.

Objective The purpose of the present study is to compare the pharmacokinetic and biodistribution properties of 99Tcm N-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide (99 Tcm N-MPO) with 99 Tcm-sestamibi (99 Tcm-MIBI) in normal dogs, and to investigate the potential of 99TcmN-MPO as a myocardial perfusion agent in canines with acute myocardial infarction. Methods Twelve healthy mongrel dogs were injected intravenously with 99TcmN-MPO (n = 6) or 99Tcm-MIBI (n = 6). Tracer kinetics in body fluids were determined by collecting blood of 1 ml via a femoral vein catheter at 30 s, 1,2,3,4,5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60and 90 min post-injection (p. i.). The collected blood samples were weighed and counted for radioactivity in a γ-counter. Anterior and posterior planar γ-camera images were collected at 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after injection, with organ uptake quantified by region-of-interest (ROIs) analysis. For comparison, 99Tcm-MIBI was also evaluated in the same twelve dogs. Canine infarct models were set up by micro-invasive interventional embolization. SPECT images in the canine infarct model were collected 24 hours after myocardial infarction at 30 min and 60 min after the administration of 99Tcm N-MPO (n = 5) or 99Tcm-MIBI (n = 5). Results Both of 99Tcm N-MPO and 99Tcm-M1BI had a rapid blood clearance with less than 50% of initial radioactivity remaining at 1 min [99TcmN-MPO: (35. 77 ± 6. 31)% ID/mg ,99Tcm-MIBI (34. 46 ± 6. 83) % ID/mg] and less than 5% at 30 min p. i. [99Tcm N-MPO(3. 11 ± 1.44) % ID/mg,99Tcm-MIBI (2.93 ±0. 39)% ID/mg] . After injection, 99TcmN-MPO showed significant accumulation in the myocardium and prolonged retention. This rapid liver clearance of 99TcmN-MPO led to favorable heart-to-liver ratios, reaching values of 0. 54 ±0. 06 at 10 min, 1.02 ±0. 06 at 30 min, and 1.38 ±0. 06 at 60 min p. i.In contrast, the heart/liver ratio of 99Tcm-MIBI remained low at all time points (0. 46 ± 0. 03 at 10 min,0. 63 ±0. 03 at 30 min, and 0. 62 ± 0. 12 at 60 min p. i.). SPECT imaging studies in canines with acute myocardial infarction indicated that good visualization of the left ventricular wall and perfusion defects could be achieved at 30 min after administration of 99TcmN-MPO, but not 99Tcm-MIBI. Conclusion The combination of high heart uptake and rapid liver clearance makes 99TcmN-MPO a promising new radiotracer for myocardial perfusion imaging.

Objective To investigate the antitumor therapeutic effect of combined therapy of magnetic induction heating by nano-magnetic particles, herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene(HSV-tk suicide gene) and internal radiation in mice bearing MCF-7 breast carcinoma. Methods The transfection reagents, plasmids heat shock protein-HSV-tk (pHSP-HSV-tk), ferroso-ferric oxide nano-magnetic fluid flow and 188Re-ganciclovir-bovine serum albumin-nanopaticles (GCV-BSA-NP) were prepared. The heating experiments in vivo were carried out using ferroso-ferric oxide nano-magnetic fluid flow. Sixty mice tumor models bearing MCF-7 breast carcinoma were established and randomly divided into six groups. Group A was the control group, B was gene transfection therapy group, C was hyperthermia group, D was gene transfection therapy combined with radionuclide brachytherapy group, E was gene therapy combined with hyperthermia group, and F was gene therapy, hyperthermia combined with radionuclide brachytherapy group. The tumor growth, tumor mass and histopathological changes were evaluated. The expression of HSV-tk in the groups of B, D, E and F was detected by RT-PCR. Poisson distribution and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for statistical analysis by SPSS 10.0 software. Results In the animal heating experiments, the temperature of tumor increased up to 39.6 ℃, 43.2 ℃, and 48.1 ℃ quickly with different injected doses (2, 4 and 6 mg respectively) of nano-magnetic particles and maintained for 40 min. The temperature of tumor tissue reduced to 36.8 ℃, 37.5 ℃ and 37.8 ℃ in 10 min when alternating magnetic field (AMF) stopped. The tumor mass in Groups C ((452.50 ±30.29) mg), D ((240.98 ±35.32)mg), E((231.87 ±27.41) mg) and F ((141.55 ±23.78) mg) were much lower than that in Group A ((719.12±22.65) mg) (F=800.07, P＜0. 01), with the most significant treatment effect in Group F.The tumor mass in Group B((684.05 ±24.02) mg) was higher than that in Group D (t =32. 805, P ＜0. 05). Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of HSV-tk in Groups B and D (0.33 ±0. 13 and 0. 46 ±0.12) was significantly different from that in Groups E and F (0.66 ±0.13 and 0.74 ±0. 11)(F = 21. 573, P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Combined use of hyperthermia, gene therapy and radionuclide brachytherapy could effectively depress the growth of MCF-7 breast carcinoma, thus possessing treatment potential for this tumor.

AIM: To explore the factors and analyze the occurrence of neovascular glaucoma(NVG)after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR).

METHODS:Retrospective analysis on the clinical materials from January 2013 to December 2017, including 233 PDR patients(237 eyes)treated with vitrectomy in which 20 patients(20 eyes)occurred NVG after vitrectomy surgeries. The factors might lead to NVG were investigated.

RESULTS: Totally 20 patients(20 eyes)developed NVG, in which there were 12 eyes combined with cataract surgeries, of the 12 eyes, 6 eyes had posterior lens capsule deficiency; 14 eyes complicated with hypertensions; 16 eyes complicated with hyperlipoidemia; 6 eyes had reoperations of vitrectomy surgeries; 2 eyes were silicone oil-filled eyes or silicone oil-removed eyes. There were correlations between the combinations of the cataract surgeries, posterior lens capsule deficiency, and vitrectomy with the occurrences of NVG after PDR surgeries; vitreous silicone oil filling might inhibit the occurrence of NVG to a certain extent. There was no statistical significance in hypertensions, high plasma lipids and reoperations of vitrectomy surgery for occurrence of NVG after PDR surgery.

CONCLUSION: There is positive significance in correctly grasping the timing of lens surgery, and properly selecting the vitreous cavity filler.
