Objective:To investigate the radiation protection effect of furosemide intervention on 18F-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( 18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. Methods:A total of 146 patients were randomly divided into two groups, with test group of 74 patients and control group of 72. The test group was administrated orally with furosemide of 40 mg for each one before injection, while the normal control group did not undergo special treatment. 60 and 120 min after 18F-FDG injection, the horizontal measurement of ambient dose equivalent rates was carried out at 0.5 m from the front of both chest and abdomen respectively. Results:For the test group, the ambient dose equivalent rates were measured to be (30.80±8.61) and (41.38±11.06) μSv/h 60 min after injection of 18F-FDG whereas (18.26±4.85) and (24.66±6.50) μSv/h 120 min after injection, respectively, both lower than in the control group and with statistically significant difference between the both ( t =15.36, 13.13, 18.73, 17.29, P<0.05) . No significant difference was found between mediastinal SUV max and liver SUV max in the experimental group and control group ( P>0.05) . Multivariate ANOVA showed that body surface area was a major factor influencing ambient dose equivalent rate regardless of furosemide injection ( t=-13.52, 2.96, P<0.05) , and no obvious effects of age and sex on ambient dose equivalence rate were found. Conclusions:Furosemide intervention can promote urination, effectively reduce the internal radiation exposure of the examinated patietns in the premise of not affecting the image quality, and therefore provide a better radiation protection effect.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between triglyceride glucos (TyG), C-reaction protein/albumin (CRP/Alb), 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] and the prognosis of patients with continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods:A total of 220 CAPD patients in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2017 to March 2020 were prospectively selected and divided into death group and survival group according to the 6-month prognosis. The peritoneal urea clearance index (Kt/V urea), TyG, CRP/Alb, 25(OH)D were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of CAPD patients. The predictive value of TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D on the prognosis of CAPD patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:After 3 months and 6 months of dialysis, the peritoneal Kt/V urea in the death group [(1.21±0.18)ml/(s·1.73 m 2), (1.02±0.14)ml/(s·1.73 m 2)] was significantly lower than that in the survival group [(1.57±0.40)ml/(s·1.73 m 2), (1.49±0.42)ml/(s·1.73 m 2)] (all P<0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of dialysis, the TyG [(8.79±0.86), (9.24±1.03)] and CRP/Alb [(4.98±0.94)×10 -4, (5.14±1.39)×10 -4] in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [(8.03±0.60), (7.26±0.93), (3.57±1.19)×10 -4, (3.07±0.88)×10 -4], while the 25(OH)D [(19.14±2.29)ng/ml, (17.79±3.17)ng/ml] was lower than that of survival group [(22.67±3.03)ng/ml, (24.31±2.51)ng/ml] (all P<0.05). TyG and CRP/Alb at 3 months and 6 months of dialysis were negatively correlated with Kt/V urea, while the 25(OH)D was positively correlated with Kt/V urea (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that Kt/Vurea, TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D were associated with prognosis in the two groups after 3 and 6 months of dialysis (all P<0.05). The AUC of TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D at 6 months of dialysis combined to predict the prognosis of CAPD patients was the highest, which was 0.911. Conclusions:TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D are associated with all-cause mortality in CAPD patients. High TyG and CRP/Alb and low 25(OH)D suggest a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Combined detection of all indicators can effectively predict the prognosis of CAPD, which is convenient for early clinical intervention.

This paper focused on the research progress of the assessment methods of carers′ fall concern for the elderly. The content of this review included the definition of carers′ fall concern, and the advantages and disadvantages of various assessment method of carers′ fall concern for the caregivers to the elderly, such as qualitative interviews, questionnaires, and scales. Through this review, the authors hoped to provide a reference for selecting or developing a localized carers′ fall concern assessment tool.

OBJECTIVE:To establish and optimize a extraction method of Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormallis ,and to analyze and identify chemical components of the extract simultaneously. METHODS :Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormallis was extracted with CO 2 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)method. Based on single factor tests ,using extraction yield as index ,extraction temperature , extraction pressure and extraction time as investigation factors ,SFE technology was optimized with orthogonal test ,and validation test was performed. Chemical components in the extract were identified by GC-MS. Relative percentage of each component was calculated with area normalization method. RESULTS :The optimal SFE extraction technology of Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormallis was extraction temperature of 60 ℃,extraction pressure of 300 MPa and pression time of 15 min. Average extraction of 3 times of validation tests was 1.73%(RSD=1.78%,n=3). The 48 components in the extracts of Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormallis were identified,which accounted for 98.31% of the total amount of the extracts. The extracts of Fructus Gleditisae Abnormalis mainly included organic acids ,accounting for 36.99%,followed by alkaloids ,accounting for 12.59% in total. Main components were palmitic acid (16.62%),oleic acid (14.12%),N-aminotetrahydropyrrole(9.79%),2,6-dimethyloctane-1,7-dien-3-ol(5.95%), tetrahydropyran(3.83%),vanillin(3.39%),etc. CONCLUSIONS :SFE method of Fructus Gleditisae Abnormalis is established successfully,and the extract is mainly organic acids.

OB JECTIVE To study the protective effects of saponins from Gleditsia sinensis on ischemic stroke with phlegm and blood stasis (ISPBS)model rats ,and to explore its mechanism. METHODS Totally 119 rats were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline ),sham operation group (normal saline ),model group (normal saline ),nimodipine group (positive control group ,5 mg/kg),G. sinensis saponin low-dose ,medium-dose and high-dose groups (3.21,6.42 and 12.84 mg/kg),with 17 rats in each group. Except for normal group ,other groups were all given high-fat diet+suture-occluded method to induce ISPBS model. The neurological function score ,water content of brain tissue ,pathological morphology of brain tissue ,the changes of hemorheology indexes (whole blood viscosity , erythrocyte aggregation index , Casson-viscosity), four items of blood lipid [triacylglycerol (TG),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)] and inflammatory factors in serum and oxidative stress indexes [malondialdehyde (MDA),nitric oxide (NO),superoxide dismutase (SOD)] in brain tissue were determined or observed in rats. The protein expressions of B lymphocytoma 2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)and caspase- 3 in cerebral tissue were also detected. RESULTS Compared with normal group ,the score of nerve function ,5 kinds of serum indexes (TC,TG,LDL-C,TNF-α,IL-1β), hemorheology indexes ,the contents of MDA and NO and protein expressions of Bax and caspase- 3 in cerebral tissue were all increased significantly in model group (P<0.01). The levels of HDL-C and IL- 10 in serum ,SOD activity and protein expression of Bcl- 2 in cerebral tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.01),and obvious lesions such as nuclear pyknosis and cell membrane fragmentation occurred in brain tissue. Compared with model group ,above indexes of administration groups were improved to different extents ,among which there was statistical significance in above indexes of G. sinensis saponin high-dose group (P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Saponin from G. sinensis has a good protective effect on ISPBS model rats. Its mechanism may beassociated with reducing oxidative damage , reducing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and resisting neuronal apoptosis.
