Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic of regional cerebral glucose metabolism in patients with Wilson's disease (WD) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET.Methods Thirteen WD patients and 12 normal controls were studied by brain 18F-FDG PET, and the data were analyzed by visual analysis, semi-quantification and statistical parametric mapping (SPM). The radioactivity ratios of lenticular nuclei, caudate, thalamus and cerebellum to cerebral cortex and the ratio of lenticular nuclei to caudate were calculated, respectively. SPSS 11.0 software for statistics was also used to analyze the data. Results In WD patients, radioactivity of lenticular nuclei and candate was significantly decreased compared with controls. The radioactivity ratios of lenticular nuclei and caudate to cerebral cortex in WD patients were both significantly lower than that in normal controls (0.95±0.05 vs 1.26±0.05, t =15, P < 0.05 ; 1.02±0.06 vs 1.17±0.05, t = 8, P < 0.05), and the ratio of lenticular nuclei to caudate in WD patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls (0.93±0.06 vs 1.09±0.06, t =9, P< 0.05). Conclusion As compared with normal controls, patients with WD had significantly decreased glucose utilization in the basal ganglia, especially in the lenticullar nuclei.

Objective To investigate the clinical biomarkers of acute lung injury(ALI) after the Stanford A aortic dissection.Methods Thirty patients underwent Stanford A aoatic dissection were selected as subjects,who hospitalized from January 2006 to March 2013.Of which,21 patients underwent total arch replacement with stented elephant trunk procedure and 9 patients underwent triple-branched stent graft placement.The general information of patients,preoperation echocardiogram data,and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2) were recorded before,after the operation and entering ICU.Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDO2),oxygenation index (OI) were calculated.Results A-aDO2 and OI at preoperation,postoperative and entering ICU point were (112.47 ±41.06) mmHg,(136.13 ± 29.51) mmHg and (141.37 ± 25.94) mmHg; (535.23 ± 70.15) mmHg; (491.50 ± 73.12) mmHg and (387.33 ± 91.32) mmHg respectively,and the differences were significant (F=35.926,323.742;P =0.000).The levels of A-aDO2 and OI at entering ICU were significant different from that of pre-operation and post-operation (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Early postoperative oxygenation and switching functions of patients with Stanford A aortic dissection are subject to damage to some degree.The A-aDO2 and OI might be sensitive biomarkers of the diagnosis for early acute lung injury of aortic dissection patients.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of small margin in nephron sparing surgery for early localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods A total of 325 cases of RCC with normal contralateral kidney and staged as Tla were retrospectivly studied.According to the margin size,125 cases were with surgical margin ≤ 5 mm (group ≤ 5 mm),102 cases with margin 6-9 mm (group 6-9 mm) and 98 cases with margin ＞ 10 mm (group ＞ 10 mm).The margin size and status was pathologically evaluated and clinical results including local recurrence,distant metastasis and overall survival rate were followed up and comparatively analyzed. Results None of the patients had positive surgical margins.The mean and median margin sizes were 2.2 and 2.0 mm for group ≤ 5 mm,6.7 and 6.0 mm for group 6-9 mm and 11.8 and 12.0 mm for group ＞ 10 mm.The difference was statistically significant (P=0.025).The mean and median follow-up time for all the patients were 79 and 83 months (range 15-132 months),with 69 and 73 months (range,15-130 months) for group ≤ 5 mm,83 and 86 (range,17-132 months) for group 6-9mm and 82 and 82 (range 60-103 months) for group ＞ 10 mm.Three patients in group ≤ 5 mm,5 in group 6-9 mm and 2 in group ＞ 10 mm died of no-cancer related disease during follow-up.One patient in group ≤ 5 mm (0.74％) experienced ectopic recurrence in the same kidney and one in group 6-9 mm was detected local recurrence in situ (0.98％).No distant metastasis was detected in all the patients.The overall 5-year survival rate for patients in groups ≤ 5mm,6-9 mm and ＞ 10 mm were 99.2％,99.0％ and 98.0％,respectively.(Kaplan-Meier survival analysis,Log Rank,x2 =1.511,P=0.470). Conclusions Small margin in nephron sparing surgery is safe and effective in treating RCC with stage T1a,which provides excellent renal function preservation,favorable long-term progression-free survival rate,and is not associated with an increased risk of local recurrence.
