The application of 18 F-FDG PET-CT in the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma includes early diagnosis,clinical staging,contouring target volume,predicting the sensitivity of tumors to radiotherapy and effect evaluation,and monitoring the residual and recurrence.However,18 F-FDG uptake of tumor cells is under the influence of various factors,so false positive and false negative are unavoidable.Therefore it is need to develop more specific tracer agent in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment,as well as to carry out multicenter clinical trial to identify the correlation of standardized uptake value (SUV)and radiation target volume.

Objective To evaluate the protective effects of Jiedu Huayu Decoction(JHD)on hepatic immune injury in mice induced by concanavalin A(Con A) and to explore its mechanism.Methods Sixty NIH mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group(group A),model group(group B),high-dose JHD group(group C),low-dose JHD group(group D) and bifendate group(group E).Except those in group A,mice in other groups were injected with Con A(at the dose of 20 mg/kg) via the tail vein at the first day of experiment.Group C and group D were orally administrated with JHD at the dose of 72.0 g/kg and 18.0 g/kg,respectively.Group E were orally administrated with bifendate at the dose of 150 mg/kg.All the drugs were given once daily for 5 consecutive days.Four hours after last medication,mice were injected with Con A once again at the same dose of 20 mg/kg.Serum aminotransferase(ALT) activity and interleukin-6(IL-6) concentration were detected at the 8th hour after Con A administration.Hepatic histopathological examination was performed,and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in hepatic tissue was detected by immunohistochemical method.Results ALT activity and IL-6 content in group C and group D were obviously lowered,hepatic histopathological changes were alleviated,and the expression of ICAM-1 in liver tissue was attenuated compared with those in group B(P

【Objective】To observe the protective effect of Phyllanthus Compound Ⅱ(PCⅡ) on experimental hepatic damage in mice.【Methods】Sixty NIH mice were randomized into 5 groups: normal control group,model group,high-,moderate-and low-dose PCⅡ(110,55,and 27.5 g/kg respectively) groups,bifendate(150 mg/kg) group.Mice models of acute hepatic damage were induced with concanavalin A(Con A) and D-galactosamine(D-GalN)respectively.Serum levels of alanine transferase(ALT) and aspartate transferase(AST),and superoxide dismustase(SOD) activity were examined.The pathological changes of hepatic tissue were also observed.【Results】 PCⅡmarkedly decreased serum ALT and AST levels,and decreased hepatic SOD activity(P0.05 compared with bifendate group).The hepatic pathological changes were improved in PCⅡ groups.【Conclusion】PCⅡ exerts a better protective effect on mice hepatic damage induced by Con A and D-GalN,and its protective mechanism may be related with the inhibition of lipoperoxidation damage.

[Objective] To investigate the renal histological parameters in SD rats and beagles and to supply evidence for renal toxicological and pathological diagnosis. [Methods] Forty SD adult rats and 20 adult beagles (half males and half females) , were respectively executed at 12 weeks and 12 months old. Then, kidney tissue was fixed in 10% neutral formalin, embedded in paraffin, made into slices at 5?m and stained by HE. The larger diameter and shorter diameter of glomerulus in the renal cortex and outer stripe of rats and beagles were determined by Spot Advanced image analysis software. The differences of the above parameters appearing in different species and genders were compared. [Results] The larger diameter was about 96 ?m, and the shorter diameter 76 ?m in the renal cortex of the beagles, and the larger was about 120?m and the shorter 94 ?m in the outer stripe of the beagles. The differences of the larger and shorter diameters were insignificant between the male and female beagles, but the larger and shorter diameters in the outer stripe were longer than those in the cortex. The larger diameter and shorter diameter were about 87 ?m and 64 ?m respectively in the renal cortex of SD rats, and the larger was about 88 ?m and the shorter 64 ?m in the outer stripe of SD rats. The differences of the larger and shorter diameters were insignificant between the male and female beagles, as well as in the outer stripe and the cortex. [Conclusion] The nephron in the outer stripe is larger than that in the cortex of beagles but no difference of the nephron exists in SD rats. The nephron in beagles is larger than that in SD rats, and there is no difference in the nephron between male and female beagles and SD rats.

Objective To evaluate the in-vivo effect of Compound Phyllanthus urinaria Ⅱ(CPU Ⅱ) on duck hepatitis B virus(DHBV).Methods Thirty ducks with congenital infection of DHBV,which were DHBV-DNA positive confirmed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),were randomly divided into 5 groups: DHBV control group,high-,middle-,and low-dosage CPU Ⅱgroups(in the dose of 33.6,18.6 and 8.4 g-1?d-1,respectively),and Lamivudine group(20 mg?kg-1?d-1).The serum DHBV-DNA level of all ducks was detected by quantity real-time fluorescence PCR before and after medication.Results On the 7th,14th,21st,and 28th day of medication and on the 5th day of suspension of medication,the serum DHBV-DNA level in both of the high-and middle-dosage CPU Ⅱ groups was obviously lower than that before medication and than that in the DHBV control group(P

Objective:To investigate the MRI features of the primary sinonasal malignant melanoma (SMM) and evaluate the signal pattern based on T 1WI and T 2WI, in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of SMM. Methods:The MRI findings of 63 SMM cases confirmed by pathology from April 2007 to November 2018 at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. The signal intensity of malignant melanoma was classified into four types(Ⅰ—Ⅳ) according to the proportion of signal areas of the largest slice of the tumor on T 1WI and T 2WI. The classification criteria according to T 1WI: type Ⅰ, the area of hyperintensity was ≥50%; type Ⅱ, the area of hyperintensity was <50%; type Ⅲ, the tumor did not show hyperintensity, and the area of isointensity was ≥50%; type Ⅳ, the tumor did not have high signal area, and the area of low signal was ≥50%. The classification criteria according to T 2WI: type Ⅰ, the area of low signal in the tumor was ≥50%; type Ⅱ, the area of low signal was <50%; type Ⅲ, the tumor did not contain low signal area, and the area of isointensity was ≥50%; type Ⅳ, the tumor did not have low signal area, and the area of high signal intensity was ≥50%. The proportion of each type was calculated. Results:According to T 1WI, typeⅠwas identified in 27 cases (42.9%, 27/63), typeⅡ in 25 cases (39.7%, 25/63), type Ⅲ in 4 cases (6.3%, 4/63), and type Ⅳ in 7 cases (11.1%, 7/63). According to T 2WI, type Ⅰwas demonstrated in 29 cases (46.0%, 29/63), type Ⅱ in 28 cases (44.4%, 28/63), type Ⅲ in 2 cases (3.3%, 2/63), and type Ⅳ in 4 cases (6.3%, 4/63). There were 16 cases classified as type I based on T 1WI and T 2WI. Conclusions:Typical and atypical SMM can be identified according to signal patterns. The typeⅠsignal pattern of SMM cases on T 1WI and T 2WI is typical and can be easily diagnosed, but the proportion was less than 50%. For atypical SMM, malignant melanoma should be strongly suspected if hyperintense on T 1WI or hypointense on T 2WI is found.
