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 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 investigate the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) and losartan on ? cells,and its related molecular mechanisms.Methods Normally cultured RIN-m cells were divided into three groups:control group(cultured with RPMI 1640 medium),AngⅡ group(treated with 100 nmol/L AngⅡ),losartan group(treated with 1 ?mol/L losartan 15min before addition of 100nmol/L AngⅡ).After incubation for another 48h,the apoptosis rate of RIN-m cells was quantified by flow cytometry(FCM) with Annexin-V FITC/PI dual staining.The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting,and the activities of Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 were detected by spectrophotometry.Results The apoptosis rate of RIN-m cells was significantly higher in AngⅡgroup than in both control and losartan group(P0.05).In comparison to the control group,the expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein significantly declined,while of Bax mRNA and protein increased obviously in AngⅡ group(P0.05),but the expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were significantly higher(P0.05).Conclusion AngⅡ may induce the apoptosis of ? cells through mitochondrial pathway,and pre-intervention with losartan,which partly reverses the effect of AngⅡ,may play a protective effect on ? cells.

Objective To explore the correlation between the level of serum uric acid (UA) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) with sudden cardiac death of coronary artery disease.Methods Clinical data of 80 patients with coronary artery disease were collected,and according to whether occurred coronary heart sudden cardiac death,the patients were divided into the observation group(coronary heart disease with sudden cardiac death group) and the control group(coronary heart disease with non-sudden death group),each group had 40 cases.The levels of serum UA,low-density hpoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),blood sugar,hs-CRP of the two groups were detected and compared.Results The UA and hs-CRP levels of male and female in the observation group were (444.06 ±36.44.) μmol/L,(7.29 ± 0.57) mg/L,(399.25 ± 9.91) μmol/L,(6.56 ± 0.38) mg/L,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(289.40 ± 25.78) μmol/L,(1.04 ± 0.11) mg/L,(209.90 ±29.87) μmol/L,(1.22 ± 0.31) mg/L] (t =-15.49,-47.71,-26.90,-47.92,all P ＜ 0.01).There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of LDL-C and blood glucose between the same sex of the two groups(t =-1.34,-1.54,-1.06,-1.33,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The increased levels of serum UA and hs-CRP may be associate with sudden cardiac death of coronary artery disease.

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 investigate the effects of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression of early diabetic nephropathy. Methods: Ninety-five male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control rats, STZ-induced diabetic rats and diabetic rats treated with LMWH. The renal tissues were subjected to immunohistochemical staining after 1,2,4,6,and 8 weeks’ treatment respectively to quantify the VEGF expression. Results: Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated an increasing in VEGF positive cells in diabetic rats. It was found that there were significant differences in VEGF staining intensity between diabetic rats and normal control rats and between LMWH treated rats and untreated diabetic rats after two weeks treatment. Conclusion: The inhibition of VEGF expression may be one of the mechanisms of LMWH’s renal protective effects on early diabetic nephropathy.
