Objective: To investigate the multivoxel proton MR spectroscopy findings of brain tumors and the clinical value in differential diagnosis. Methods:Sixty patients with brain tumors underwent multivoxel proton MR spectroscopic examination with PRESS sequence. Distribution of the 60 final diagnoses of neoplasms was as follow: meningioma (n=22), glioma (n=21), lymphoma (n=3), metastasis (n=5), acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumor, PNET (n=2, respectively), vascularblastoma, arachnoid cyst, neurofibromatosis (n=1,respectively). The concentrations of NAA, Cho, Cr, Lac-Lip were obtained in the tumors and the contralateral normal brain region. The ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, NAA/Cho, tumor NAA/normal NAA, tumor Cho/normal Cho, tumor Cr/normal Cr were calculated. Results: 1H MRS showed decreased NAA, Cr and elevated Cho. NAA concentrations in meningioma, glioma, lymphoma decreased significantly to acoustic neuroma, metastasis, but Cho in tumors changed without significance. NAA/Cr ratio was significantly lower in glioma than in acoustic neuroma and metastasis, and p value was 0.014, 0.027, respectively. No significance was found in tumor Cho/Cr data. Conclusion:Multivoxel proton MR spectroscopy is available for study of tumor metabolites. The tumor NAA/normal NAA, NAA/Cr were helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intracranial tumors.

Theultraperformanceliquidchromatographycoupledwithmassspectrometry(UPLC-MS)was used to investigate the metabolic difference of the decoction of Radix Aconiti Preparata ( RAP ) and its co-decoctions with Radix Paeoniae Alba ( RAP-RPA ) or Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae ( RAP-RST ) in rat intestinal bacteria. The principal component analysis ( PCA) of the relative contents of Aconitum alkaloids after metabolism was performed by SIMCA-P software. The score plots of PCA could successfully distinguish the three groups of RAP, RAP-RPA and RAP-RST. The result indicated that the differences of biotransformation among the groups of PAP, RAP-RPA and RAP-RST were significant. With the loading plot and independent-samples T test, seven relevant markers with the significant differences were found in the group of RAP-RPA, six relevant markers were obtained in the group of RAP-RST. The relative content of four markers in RAP-RPA was higher than that in RAP, and one marker in RAP-RST was higher than that in RAP. The relative contents of other markers were all lower than that in RAP. These markers may be the effective substance for explaining the different effects of Radix Aconiti Preparata before and after combination with Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae.

In order to solve the problems of present quartz crystal microbalance ( QCM ) measuring instruments, such as high demand for crystal cutting technology and uncomprehensive measurements for crystal parameters, a modified quadrature demodulation-based method was proposed with broadband adaptive response capacity and high frequency resolution. Moreover, it is also capable of measuring both resonant frequencies and dissipation factor D synchronously and continuously. Experimental results at room temperature indicated that the adaptive frequency range was 1-9 MHz while the frequency resolution was less than 1 Hz, measured resonance frequency shifts of crystals in the range scale linearly with the equal thickness increments of poly acrylic acid ( PAA) membrane on the working electrode, and with the volatilization of different solvent factor D is measured continuously and effectively along the time axis. To sum up, compared with traditional ones, this new method has lower material cost and more obtained parameters.

Objective:To assess the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 ( CTLA-4) gene polymorphisms with the prognosis of patients with Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC). Methods:From February 2019 to October 2020, 256 BUS patients treated at the Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected as the study group, whilst 250 healthy individuals were selected as the control group. Genotypes of rs5742909 (-318C/T), rs231775 (+ 49A/G) and rs4553808 (-1661A/G) were determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles of the CTLA-4 gene were compared between the two groups. All patients had undergone surgical treatment and were followed up for 3 years and divided into good prognosis group ( n=166) and poor prognosis group ( n=86) based on the status of disease. The distribution of alleles and genotypes were compared, and Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the association of genetic polymorphisms with the prognosis. Results:No significant difference was found in the gender, age, BMI, smoking history and alcohol use between the two groups ( P>0.05). The frequencies of GG genotype and G allele for the rs231775 (+ 49A/G) and rs4553808 (-1661A/G) loci were significantly higher in the study group compared with the control group ( P<0.05), whilst no statistical difference was found in the genotypic and allelic frequency for the rs5742909 locus between the two groups ( P>0.05). Among the 252 subjects who had completed follow-up, 86 had poor prognosis and 166 had good prognosis. The frequencies of GG genotype and G allele at the rs231775 (+ 49A/G) and rs4553808 (-1661A/G) loci were significantly lower in the good prognosis group compared with the poor prognosis group ( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the survival time of patients with GG genotype for the rs231775 (+ 49A/G) and rs4553808 (-1661A/G) loci was significantly shorter than patients with AA or AG genotypes (Log Rank 2 = 13.654, 9.974, P<0.001). Conclusion:The polymorphisms of the rs231775 and rs4553808 loci of the CTLA-4 gene are associated with genetic susceptibility and poor prognosis for BUC, and a higher GG genotypic frequency may increase the risk for infection and poor prognosis of the patients.
