1.Diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of 18F-FDG PET/CT in bone marrow infiltration of lymphoma
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(5):395-397
18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT) and bone marrow biopsy (BMB) have high consistency in the detection of lymphoma bone marrow infiltration (BMI).18F-FDG PET/CT has a high sensitivity to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) BMI,while the sensitivity of indolent NHL is low.Since 18F-FDG PET/CT may appears false positive or false negative,so it can not replace the conventional BMB.We can carry out a BMB under the guidance of 18F-FDG PET/CT,which can greatly improve the detection rate of BMI.

Objectives To explore polymorphisms of CD152 gene promoters (-1722T/C,-1661A/G) and exon1 (+49A/G) in children with idiopathic ischemic stroke and assess the association between these polymorphisms with the disease. Methods Us-ing the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, polymorphisms in the CD152 exon1 region (+49A/G) and promoter regions (-1722T/C,-1661A/G) were genotyped in 51 Han children with idiopathic ischemic stroke and 74 healthy Han children. Results The CD152 genotypes in control group and idiopathic ischemic stroke children were consistent to principle of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) byχ2 test. The CD152+49GG genotypes and G allele frequency in the patients showed a signiifcant increase compared to the controls (χ2=7.053, 6.351, P<0.05). However, the CD152-1722T/C,-1661A/G genotypes and allele frequency showed no signiifcant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). Clinical features (hemi-paresis, dysarthria, seizures, consciousness change, and preceding infections) did not show signiifcant correlation with genotypes and frequency of the CD152+49 polymorphisms in children with idiopathic ischemic stroke (P>0.05). Conclusions The CD152+49A/G polymorphisms may relate to idiopathic ischemic stroke.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and action mechanism of abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping for primary insomnia.Methods:A total of 66 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=33) and a control group (n=33). Cases in the observation group received abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping, whereas cases in the control group received abdominal acupuncture alone. After 2, 6 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks after end of treatment, the patients in both groups were evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and measure your medical outcome profile (MYMOP) based on the patients' self-report. Results:After 2 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate was 90.9% in the observation group, versus 63.6% in the control group, showing a statistical difference (P<0.05). After 6 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in total effective rate (P>0.05). After 6 weeks, the sleep quality and efficiency scores in the observation group were better than those in the control group. Four weeks after end of treatment, the scores of sleep quality and MYMOP in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping can obtain fast, accurate effect for primary insomnia and improve patients' sleep quality and efficiency.
