Accurate clinical staging of cervical cancer before treatment is very important for making treatment decisions,monitoring therapy effect,forecasting the prognosis,and adjusting treatment plan.The metabolic changes in the primary tumor and metastases of cervical cancer could be clearly detected by 18FFDG PET/CT whole body imaging,which helps to guide the clinical staging,treatment options,and is conducive to monitoring the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of hydroxysafflor yellow A(HSYA) preconditioning group on apoptosis induced by cold hypoxia/reoxygenation (cold H/R) injury in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK2 cells).Methods:After digestion and passage, HK2 cell lines were divided into Sham group (control group), cold hypoxia and reoxygenation group (cold H/R group, cells cold hypoxia for 4 h, reoxygenation for 4 h), and HSYA preconditioning group (each HSYA subgroup was given different doses of HSYA 0.5 h before hypoxia, and the other operations were the same as the cold H/R group). The cell survival rate was measured by CCK-8 method.The expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins in HK-2 cells were detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting.Results:(1) Compared with cold H/R group, different doses of HSYA could improve cell survival rate in different degrees, but only HSYA25 μmol/L group had the most significant effect (74.000±5.500 vs.59.000±3.800, P<0.05). (2) Immunocytochemistry semi-quantitative score: Compared with cold H/R group, the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 in HK2 cells of HSYA25 μmol/L group was significantly decreased(0(0, 1) vs. 8(6, 8), Z=2.041, P<0.05 and (3.400±0.548) vs.(7.800±1.095), t=11.000, P<0.01). The expression of Bcl-2 protein was increased significantly ((6.800±1.095) vs.(1.400±0.548), t=10.590, P<0.01). The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax increased significantly.(3)Western blot was used to detect protein: Compared with the cold H/R group, the protein levels of Bax, Cleaved-Caspase-3 and Pro-caspase-3 of HK2 cells in the HSYA25 μmol/L group were significantly decreased ((0.707±0.012) vs.(0.968±0.117), (0.480±0.009)vs.(0.735±0.005), (0.992±0.008)vs.(1.197±0.005), all P<0.01). The expression of Bcl-2 protein was significantly increased, and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was significantly increased ((0.410±0.009) vs.(0.273±0.008), (0.582±0.016) vs (0.282±0.080), all P<0.01). The experimental results were consistent with the immunocytochemistry. Conclusion:HSYA can effectively reduce the damage of HK2 cells after cold hypoxia and reoxygenation.
3.Strengthen multidisciplinary cooperation to help accurate diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules
Clinical Medicine of China 2024;40(1):49-52
With the popularization of low-dose lung CT screening and the renewal of people's concept of physical examination, more and more pulmonary nodules are detected. This paper discusses some hot issues in the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules from five perspectives: the concept and causes of pulmonary nodules, how to improve the diagnostic level of pulmonary nodules, the understanding of pulmonary nodules management in different specialties, the follow-up diagnosis of pulmonary nodules and the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules.

Objective To observe the effect of HIF-1a/iNOS signaling pathway on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat heart transplantation and the protective mechanism of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on donor heart after cardiac transplantation in rats.Methods Eighty healthy male Lewis rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,the control group (0.3 ml saline was infused via inferior vena cava 30 min before donor harvest or implantation),NAC donor pretreatment group [NAC (30 mg/kg.w) was injected into the vena cava of donor rat 30 min defore donor harvest],and the NAC receptor pretreatment group (NAC 300 mg/kg.w was injected into the vena cava of the recipient rats 30 min before transplantation.The 30 min was injected into the vena cava of the recipient rats).A transplant model was established and the graft was obtained after 24 h transplantation.The expression of iNOS,HIF-1a and mRNA in cardiac muscle tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry and Real time-PCR.Results HIF-1a protein expression in graft myocardial tissue was significantly lower in NAC donor pretreatment and recipient pretreatment group compared with control group (P <0.05),the differences were statistically significant (2.72±0.17 vs.2.24±0.23 vs.3.14.±0.16,F=56.26,P =0.000).The iNOS protein expression in NAC donor pretreatment group,and NAC recipient pretreatment group were lower than that in the control group (1.52±0.18 vs.1.61±0.19 vs.3.30±0.18,F=232.345,P =0.000),the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).24 h after transplantation,the differences in graft myocardial tissue HIF-1a and iNOS mRNA among the three groups were statistically significant (F=7.467,16.490,P=0.003,0.000).The expression of iNOS mRNA in the NAC receptor pretreatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion HIF-1a/iNOS signaling pathway can regulate ischemia reperfusion injury in rat heart transplantation,and the protective effect of NAC on donor heart maybe mediated via this pathway.
