Objective To investigate the optimal workflow and protocol for integrated PET/MR by comparison with PET/CT.Methods A total of 228 patients were enrolled in this study for PET/CT and PET/MR evaluation on the same day.Six PET/MR protocols with different MR sequences but the same PET acquisition protocol were investigated and the optimal protocol was identified based on image quality,acquisition time and diagnostic performance.Results PET/MR workflow was similar to PET/CT,however,some special issues needed to be considered for PET/MR.Among the 6 protocols,protocol No.6 outperformed others for body and head regions.Types of artifacts were found more often in PET/MR than in PET/CT.Conclusions By optimizing the protocol,PET/MR could achieve almost the same diagnostic performance as PET/CT.However,the issues of long acquisition time and artifacts on PET/MR need to be further improved.

Objective:To study the clinical effect of early postoperative enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition after radical ex-cision of gastric cancer to provide a better way of treating gastric cancers. Methods:Retrospective analysis of 140 gastric cancer pa-tients who were admitted to the PLA General Hospital between February 2009 and February 2011 was conducted. These patients were randomized into two groups based on the clinical trial, i.e., 70 in the control group received an intravenous parenteral nutrition for the treatment, and for the other 70 in the observation group, jejunostomy was done 1 to 5 days after the radical surgery by using Supportan as the enteral nutritional agent with a dose of at TPF-T 500 mL/d to 1 000 mL/d. The postoperative long-term survival rate of the pa-tients, the serum albumin, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase levels before and after the treatment, as well as the situation of IgA, IgG, IgM and CD4+cells, NK cells, and B lymphocytes in the blood at the first and the seventh day after surgery were observed in the patients. Results:After the implementation of early enteral nutrition in the observation group, the 1-and 3-year survival rates were 84.29% (59/70) and 61.43% (43/70) respectively, whereas in the control group, the survival rates were 64.29% (45/70) and 47.143% (33/70) respectively, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). At the first and seventh day after surgery, the serum albumin, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group, with statistically significant differences between the two (P<0.05). Compared with the parameters in the observation group at the first day after surgery and those in the control groups at the eighth day after surgery, the levels of IgA , IgG, IgM and CD42+cells, NK cells, and B lymphocytes were significantly increased in the obser-vation group at the seventh day after surgery. The differences among them were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Early postoperative enteral nutrition for the gastric cancer patients undergoing radical surgery can be effective in improving the nutrition level of the patients and in enhancing their long-term survival rate, Thus, the treatment has value in clinical application.

Objective:To explore the application value of overall nursing intervention in PET/MR imaging in children with epilepsy.Methods:A total of 48 pediatric epilepsy patients who underwent PET/MR imaging in the Nuclear Medicine Department of the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from July 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled. Among them, 24 patients with overall nursing intervention were used as the experimental group, and 24 patients were routine nursing intervention patients, who were served as the normal control group, and the examination time, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores and patient satisfaction scores (filled in by the patient′s guardian) of the experimental group and the control group were collected and compared.Results:The inspection time of the experimental group was (15.1±0.5) min, significantly lower than (24.8±1.3) min of the control group ( tvalue was 32.940, P<0.01); the SAS score of the experimental group was (35.7±4.2) points, lower than(43.8±3.3) points of the control group ( tvalue was 7.357, P<0.01), and the patient satisfaction score was (92.8±5.5) points, higher than (69.8±11.1) points of the control group ( tvalue was 9.088, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusion:Overall nursing intervention in PET/MR imaging of pediatric patients with epilepsy can significantly cut down the examination time, reduce the anxiety of patients′ family members and improve the satisfaction of nursing care. It lays the foundation for clinicians to further accurately diagnose epilepsy foci and has important application value.

Objective To evaluate the value of SUVmax/ADCmin obtained by 11 C?choline PET/MR imaging in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant prostate disease. Methods Suspicious prostate cancer patients who underwent PET/MR before transperineal prostate biopsy in People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from April 2014 to January 2015 were observed. Prostate gland was divided into five dis?tricts. A ROI with the diameter of 1 cm was drawn at the highest radioactivity concentration and/or lowest ADC signal area in each district, and SUVmax , ADCmin and SUVmax/ADCmin were then calculated. Taking the pathological results as the gold standard, malignant and benign prostate disease districts were separated. Pearson correlation analysis and two?sample t test were used for statistical analysis. Results Biopsy pathol?ogy showed 9 cases were malignant ( 25 prostate cancer districts, and 20 benign prostate disease districts) , and 6 cases were benign (30 benign prostate disease districts). The SUVmax had a negative correlation with ADCmin( r=-0.521, P<0?05) . The SUVmax/ADCmin of benign and malignant districts was significantly dif?ferent(5.67±3.03 and 13?76±7.13; t=6.9, P<0.01). The ROC AUC for ADCmin, SUVmax and SUVmax/ADCmin were 0?880, 0?809 and 0.898. Using SUVmax/ADCmin of 7.78 as a cutoff, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 11 C?choline PET/MR imaging for differentiating the benign and malignant prostate lesions were 84.0%(21/25), 86.0%(43/50) and 85.3%(64/75), respectively. Conclusions Simultaneous 11C?choline PET/MR could be used for detecting prostate cancer. SUVmax/ADCmin may serve as an effective diag?nostic indicator for differentiating benign and malignant prostate lesions.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the parameters obtained from PET/MR in brain tumors.Methods In this prospective study,28 patients (21 males,7 females,age range: 6-82 years) with clinical suspicion of brain tumor from November 2012 to September 2015 underwent PET/MR multi-modality imaging.The examination of PET/MR included 11C-MET PET and multiple MR sequences.The qualities of images were estimated firstly.The ROC curve and the accuracy of SUVmax,ADCmean,rCBF and NAA/(Cho+Cre) ratio were calculated.The pathology or final clinical diagnosis was taken as the standard.The diagnostic efficiency of the multi-modality imaging was determined based on the cutoff values of the four parameters.Two-sample t test was used to analyze the differences of parameters between glioma group and inflammatory group.Results SUVmax,ADCmean,rCBF and NAA/(Cho+Cre) ratio were validated to be effective parameters in diagnosing brain tumors with the diagnostic accuracy of 89.3％(25/28),82.1％(23/28),78.6％(22/28) and 75.0％(21/28),respectively.The SUVmax exhibited the highest diagnostic accuracy,while the diagnostic efficiency of the combination of four parameters was superior to the separate parameter.The values of SUVmax,rCBF and NAA/(Cho+Cre) ratio were significantly different between glioma group(n=10) and inflammatory group(n=11;t values:-2.31,-3.11,-2.77,all P<0.05).Conclusions PET/MR can provide a one-stop examination with multi-modality imaging of brain.The obtained parameters SUVmax,ADCmean,rCBF and NAA/(Cho+Cre) ratio,especially their combination,have effective diagnostic values on brain tumor.

Autoimmune encephalitis(AE)is a kind of newly discovered autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.The cause of autoimmune encephalitis is complex and symptoms are lacking in specificity.There are many difficulties in diagnosis of AE.The clinical diagnosis of AE should be combined with its clinical characteristics, the detection of AE-related autoantibodies and laboratory-related tests, electroencephalogram, head imaging, et al.AE-related autoantibody detection is more helpful in the diagnosis,some of the autoantibodies also have a strong hint of potential tumor in the body,and can help to determine the treatment and prognosis.
