Objective To understand the level of tulnor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in serum of healthy adults and primary hypertension patients with different left ventricle,and to explore the role of TNF-α and ADMA in the pathophysiological mechanism of heart damage due to hypertension.Methods Thirty health adults were recruited as control.Based on the left ventricular mass index(LVMI)and relative wall thickness(RWT),66 patients of hypertension were divided into 4 groups:normal left ventricle group with normal LVMI and RWT,concentric remolding group with normal LVMI and incremental RWT,typical concentric hypertrophy group with incremental LVMI and RWT,eccentric left ventricular group incremental LVMI and normal RWT.TNF-α was measured by radioimmunoassay and ADMA was measured through reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography.Resuits TNF-α and ADMA increased with the severity of the left ventricle.Each left ventricle group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.01).The differences between left ventricle groups were statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusions TNF-α and ADMA may participate in the development of left ventricle.

Objective To prepare 99Tcm-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody (ABH2) and explore its feasibility as an imaging agent in HER2-positive breast cancer.Methods Sodium glucoheptonate and SnCl2 · 2H2O were used to label ABH2 with 99Tcm.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-ABH2 were determined.The stability of 99Tcm-ABH2 was tested in PBS and serum.The equilibrium disassociation constant (Kd) of 99Tcm-ABH2 was measured with MBA-MD-361 breast cancer cells.SPECT/CT imaging was carried out at 1.0 h and 4.5 h after injection of 37 MBq 99Tcm-ABH2 in nude mice (n=4) xenografted with MBA-MD-361 breast cancer.The T/NT (liver,brain,lung,heart,bone and muscle) ratios were deduced from SPECT/CT acquired data.For the blocking experiment,200 μg ABH2 was injected intravenously before 99Tcm-ABH2 injection.SPECT/CT imaging was performed in the same way.The T/NT ratios were compared between non-blocked and blocked groups by one-way analysis of variance.Results Fhe labeling yield of 99Tcm-ABH2 was above 99％.99Tcm-ABH2 was substantially stable in PBS and serum;the radiochemical purity was (95.0± 1.0)％ after incubation with serum at 37 ℃ for 6.0 h.The Kd of 99Tcm-ABH2 was 1.7 nmol/L.The radioactive uptake in cancer was visualized at 1.0 h and 4.5 h after injection of 99Tcm-ABH2 in HER2 positive MDA-MB-361 breast cancer.99Tcm-ABH2 was cleared out mainly through urinary system.The ratios of tumor to liver,lung,brain,heart,muscle and bone were 1.81± 0.60,8.95±1.13,20.08±6.12,7.61±0.56,10.62±1.78,11.42±2.07,respectively at 4.5 h after 99Tcm-ABH2 injection.After ABH2 blocking,the corresponding T/NT ratios were 0.60±0.23,3.05± 1.38,5.24±2.17,2.42±1.02,8.16±2.66,2.76±0.48 (F=29.38,P＜0.05) respectively.Conclusion 99Tcm-ABH2 could be synthesized with high purity,and this new agent could be used to image HER2-positive breast cancer specifically.

Objective To prepare 2-[18F]fiuoropropionic acid (18F-FPA) and evaluate its biodistribution and imaging capacity in Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice.Methods 18F-FPA was prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction,and its hydrophilicity was analyzed.18F-FPA (7.4-11.1 MBq) was injected into Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice via tail vein.MicroPET imaging was performed at 20,80 min after the injection.The biodistribution of 18F-FPA in organs was analyzed.The blocking effects of sodium propionate and dichloroacetate to 18F-FPA were tested in vivo.Data were analyzed by two-sample t test using GraphPad Prism software.Results The synthesis of 18F-FPA took 40 min.18F-FPA had high radiochemical purity (＞99％) and hydrophilicity.18F-FPA was mainly distributed in the carcinoma,the urinary bladder and the caecum.The radioactive uptakes in muscles,brown fat and bones were relatively low.Quantitative analysis showed that the uptake of 18F-FPA in Lewis lung carcinoma from 20 min to 80 min was slightly increased ((17.03±2.87) ％ID/g vs (19.33±2.45) ％ID/g) without significant difference (t=1.100,P＞0.05).Neither sodium propionate nor dichloroacetate could block the uptake of 18F-FPA in Lewis lung carcinoma (t=1.544,0.894;both P＞0.05).Conclusions 18F-FPA can be quickly synthesized and has good physicochemical properties.It can be used as a tracer to visualize Lewis lung carcinoma in mice,and its tumor uptaking can not be blocked by propionate and dichloacetate.18 F-FPA PET has the potential to detect lung cancer noninvasively in clinic.

Objective To demonstrate the origin of the right inferior phrenic artery(RIPA) in normal and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients and provide valuable anatomical information for angiographers before and after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods Four hundred and forty consecutive patients including 133 HCC cases who had biphase abdominal CT were assessed in this study.The routine abdominal enhanced CT scan(GE,LightSpeed16) was performed with 120 kV,200—240 mAs,10 mm collimation,1.375 pitch,and 10 mm reconstruction interval at 22—25 seconds for arterial phase triggered by timing bolus,60 seconds for portal venous phase after injection of 100 ml contrast material(300 mg I/ml) at a rate of 3.5 ml/s.Multiplanar reconstruction(MPR) and maximum intensity projection(MIP) images were generated using 1.25 mm images reconstructed with 1 mm interval in arterial phase and reviewed by two radiologists.An enhanced artery medial-posterior to the IVC,originated from aorta or its branches to the diaphragmatic dome was interpreted as the RIPA.Results The RIPA was showed in all(440 patients)(100%).Among 218(49.5%) RIPAs originated from the aorta,140 were from the right side of the aorta,22 from the left side of the aorta,56 from the anterior wall of the aorta,36 RIPAs had the same origin with the left inferior phrenic artery.Among 138(31.4%) RIPAs from the celiac artery,10 RIPAs had the same origin with the left gastric artery,and 33 RIPAs had the same origin with the left inferior phrenic artery.78(17.7%) were from the right renal artery,6(1.4%) were from the left gastric artery(the left gastric artery from aorta).The dilatation of the RIPA was demonstrated in 16 of(133 hepatocellular) carcinoma patients.Conclusion Multislice helical CT could demonstrate the origin of the RIPA in arterial phase and provide useful anatomical information for angiographer before and after TACE.

Objective To discover the risk factors of acute renal insufficiency(ARI) in perioperative of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods We took a retrospective study to analysis and summarize the clinical features of 33 ARI cases and 721 controls,all subjects were histopathologically confirmed NSCLC from January 2007 to October 2013.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the association between the risk factors and ARI.Results There were significant differences between the two groups in operation age,level of preoperative creatinine,preoperative rehydration and the use of plasma substitutes.After adjustment by confounding factors,operation age older than 60 years old and the use of plasma substitutes had higher risk of ARI [adjusted OR was 2.93 (1.30-6.62),95 ％ CI was 6.04 (1.41-25.87),respectively].Preoperative rehydration was protective factor of ARI(adjusted OR was 0.37,95％ CI was 0.17-0.83).Conclusion Operation age (≥ 60 years old) and the use of blood substitutes are independent risk factors of ARI,while preoperative rehydration can reduce the incidence of ARI after surgery.

Objective To evaluate t le effects of various mutants of PAK6 kinase on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and their roles in the pathology of prostate cancer. Methods Variant mutants of PAK6 kinase, including wild type ( WT),kinase activated type (SN) and kinase inactivated type (KM) , were in vitro constructed according to the PAK6 sequence,and were transfected into the LNCaP cells by Lipo-fectamine. G418 was used to select the stable cell line. Phosphorylated PAK6 antibody was used in Western blot to detect the kinase expression in the eel.s. The proliferation rate was measured by MTT assay;the growth effects of the cells stimulated by androgen were also recorded and compared. Results Different LNCaP cell lines expressing wild type, kinase activated and kinase inactivated PAK6 were prepared successfully. Wild type (WT) PAK6 and the kinase activated PAK6-SN significantly inhibited the growth of LNCaP cells by 32. 1% and 39. 3%,respectively (P
