1.The value of ~(18)F-FDG PET and ~(18)F-FDG PET/CT in clinical evaluation of sarcoma
Tumor 2010;(3):253-256
As a functional imaging method, positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used in tumor diagnosis, pathological classification, stage assessment, and clinical outcome evaluation. Combination of metabolic information acquired from ~(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (~(18)F-FDG) PET with pathological grading results is helpful for further defining the grade of sarcomas and predicting prognosis. ~(18)F-FDG PET appears to be superior to other imaging modalities in detecting bone metastases or pulmonary metastases of sarcoma patients, so it could be used in clinical staging and restaging of sarcoma. Tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) and standardized uptake value (SUV) are two important parameters for quantitative analysis and are helpful for assessing chemotherapy response of tumor. PET imaging offers important information to help maximize the clinical benefit of patients with sarcoma. This article reviews the clinical value of ~(18)F-FDG PET and ~(18)F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of sarcoma.
2.Distribution and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Anaerobic Bacteria in Periodontal Pocket of 84 Patients with Chronic Periodontitis
Journal of Kunming Medical University 2016;37(6):69-72
Objective To study the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibilities of anaerobic bacteria from periodontal pockets of patients with chronic periodontitis, so as to guide the anti-infection therapy. Methods Eighty-four patients with chronic periodontitis were enrolled in this study. The anaerobes were isolated from periodontal pockets of patients with chronic periodontitis. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the anaerobes to seven kinds of antibiotics (like metronidazole, penicillin, cefmetazole, etc.) was tested with the agar dilution technique. Results A total of 305 cultivable anaerobes were isolated from periodontal pockets of 84 patients with chronic periodontitis. All patients were infected by anaerobes. 59.34%of cultivable anaerobes were gram-positive anaerobes, and 40.66%were gram-negative anaerobes. The P.melanin ogenica and P.gingivalis were the most common among the cultivable anaerobes, accounting for 51.19% and 55.95%, followed by P.intermedia (36.90%), P.micros (35.71%), F.mucleatum (33.33%), Capnocytophaga ssp (27.38%), Actinomyces ssp (10.71%), and so on. Most isolated anaerobes were sensitive to seven antibiotics. All isolated anaerobes were susceptible to Chloromycetin and Imipenem. 98.03%of isolated anaerobes were susceptible to Amoxicillin. Approximately 76%to 88%of isolated anaerobes were susceptible to Cefmetazole and Metronidazole. Susceptibility to Clindamycinum and Penicillin were 65.91%and 55.73%. Conclusions There is a close relationship between chronic periodontitis and anaerobes. P.melanin ogenica and P.gingivalis are the most frequently isolated anaerobes from periodontal pockets of patients with chronic periodontitis. Chloromycetin and Imipenem can be used for the treatment of anaerobes infected chronic periodontitis.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with highly heterogeneous both clinically and biologically. So the prediction for prognosis of DLBCL and identifying patients with high risk are coming into the focus of the 58th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. International prognostic index (IPI) risk model is widely known as the powerful prognostic indicator for DLBCL but in rituximab-era is challenged by a variety of new prognosis systems. Biological markers and mutation and expression of genes play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of lymphoma, and its prognostic value draw much more attention. The prognostic factors of DLBCL, specific types, such as primary breast DLBCL, intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, the presence of a DLBCL component in a follicular lymphoma and relapsed/refractory DLBCL have been paid more attention in this meeting.

Objective To evaluate the applicability of formula R0, R1, R2 of ECToolbox software in measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with gated myocardial imaging. Methods Rest gated myocardial SPECT with ~(99m)Tc-MIBI and rest gated blood-pool SPECT with ~(99m)Tc-RBC were performed on 64 patients (44 with CHD, 20 with hypertension). LVEFs were separately calculated with formula R0, R1, R2 of ECToolbox software, and the results were recorded as R0 LVEF, R1 LVEF and R2 LVEF, respectively, and compared with LVEFs from gated blood-pool imaging (GBPI LVEF). Results The LVEFs from formula R0, R1 and R2 were all significantly correlated with GBPI LVEF (r=0.905, 0.905 and 0.903, P<0.05, respectively). The accuracy within ±15% deviation from the GBPI LVEF was 54.30%, 71.40% and 22.90%, and within ±30% was 81.40%, 88.60%,74.30%, respectively. The differences among R0 LVEF, R2 LVEF and GBPI LVEF were statistically significant (P<0.05), while between R1 LVEF and GBPI LVEF was not (P>0.05). Conclusion The formula R1 of ECToolbox software is most applicable in measuring LVEF with gated myocardial imaging.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of tamsulosin on proliferation and apoptosis in prostatic cancer PC-3 cells. METHODS:After treated with 0 (blank control group),12.5,25 and 50 μmol/L tamsulosin (tamsulosin low,medium and high-concentration groups)for 48 h,the viability of PC-3 cells was detected by MTT method. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to detect cell apoptosis rate. Western blot was used to determine the expression level of Bax and Bcl-2 protein,and the phosphoryla-tion level of protein kinase B(Akt),mammalian target rapamycin(mTOR),ribosomal S6 protein kinase(p70S6K)and 4E bind-ing protein 1(4E-BP1). RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,PC-3 cells viability and the phosphorylation level of Akt, p70S6K and 4E-BP1 decreased in tamsulosin low,medium and high-concentration groups,while expression level of Bax protein in-creased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the apoptosis rate of PC-3 cells was increased in tamsulosin medium and high-concentration groups,while the expression level of Bcl-2 and phosphorylation level of mTOR were decreased(P<0.01),in concentration-depen-dent manner. CONCLUSIONS:Tamsulosin can inhibit PC-3 cells proliferation and induce cell apoptosis via blocking Akt/mTOR signal pathway.
