[Objective]To investigate the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT with different metabolic parameters in newly diagnosed limited-disease(LD)small cell lung cancer(SCLC).[Methods]Retrospective analysis was carried out in the patients between June 2005 to December 2016 in our hospital confirmed of LD SCLC by pathology or cytology and comprehensive imaging. Fifty-four patients were recruited. Record the general characteristics of patients,pre-treatment KPS score,smoking status,weight loss,serum LDH,NSE,OS,PFS. All lesions(primary lesions + metastases)were sketched out within one VOI,and the SUVmax, SUVmean and SUVpeak in the VOI were automatically measured and recorded. The automatic measurement was performed by the fixed threshold method. The thresholds of tumor of MTV and TLG were 40% and 50% of SUVmax. The TLG and MTV were identified as TLG40%,TLG50%,MTV40% and MTV50% respectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. All the prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox model.[Result]The median SUVmax was 13.92(2.61~43.28),the median of SUVmean was 8.31(1.71~26.85) and the median of SUVpeak was 10.51(1.49 ~ 27.48). The median of TLG40% was 340.22(16.58 ~ 2827.26),the median of TLG50%was 215.645(1.70 ~ 2270.36),the median of MTV40% was 36.71(1.15 ~ 259.47 cm3),the median of MTV50% was 19.65(0.93 ~1900.00)cm3. Univariate and multivariate analysis of metabolic index and prognosis showed that TLG50% was the prognostic factor of OS(P = 0.013),but not of PFS(P > 0.05). The SUVmax,SUVmean and SUVpeak were not the prognostic factors of OS and PFS(P >0.05).[Conclusion]The volume metabolic parameters TLG50%was the independent prognostic factor of the overall survival time of the LD SCLC. The volume metabolic parameters (TLG and MTV) of 18F-FDG PET/CT were related to the prognosis of SCLC ,which could provide the basis for individual chemotherapy.

Objective To study the capacity of dentifrice containing hydroxyapatite (HA) particles with various grain sizes on the sorption of Cu (Ⅱ) ion from aqueous solution. Methods Three groups of dentifrice suspensions containing 3% HA particles with 60 nm grain size, 3% HA particles with 12 μm grain size, and blank dentifrice were prepared with serial concentrations. Copper ion solutions with initial concentration of 4.0 mg/L were mixed with dentifrice suspensions respectively and then been kept still for 24 hours. The residual copper ion concentration of the supernatant was measured by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer and the sorption rate of copper ion was calculated. Results The residual copper ion concentration of the supernatant decreased with increase of the concentration of dentifrice suspensions. The sorption rate of copper ion of dentifrice containing 60 nm HA was highest among the three groups. Conclusion Nano HA should be added into dentifrice to enhance the sorption capacity of copper ion from aqueous solution.

Objective To evaluate the value of 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging in predicting the progno-sis of newly diagnosed SCLC with normal serum LDH ( SCLC-nsLDH) . Methods A total of 68 SCLC pa-tients (59 males, 9 females, median age:58.5 years) proved by pathology between June 2005 and Decem-ber 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT. The general information of patients, including LDH, NSE, OS, PFS and SUVmax , were recorded. SUVmax differences were analyzed with Mann-Whitney u test. Life-table method and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to estimate the survival rate and median survival time. The survival function curve was drawn. Log-rank test was used to analyze whether there existed statistical differences in survival period among different groups. Cox regression analysis was used for screening the influencing factors of prognosis. Results ( 1) In 68 SCLC patients, there were 38 cases with limited disease ( LD) and 30 cases with extensive disease ( ED) . There were 3 cases in stageⅠ, 7 cases in stage Ⅱ, 29 cases in stage Ⅲ, 29 cases in stage Ⅳ. The median SUVmax of the primary tumor was 11.35 (9.90, 13.90). There was no significant difference between the median SUVmax of LD group and that of ED group:11.05(9.72, 13.60) vs 12.25(10. 05, 14.12)months;z=-0.797, P=0.426. The median serum LDH was 195.15(171.00, 220.80) U/L. (2) The median follow-up time was 18(range:2-101) months. The disease developed in 46 patients and 35 patients died. The median OS was 23 (95%CI:13.3-32.7) months and median PFS was 17 (95% CI: 11.4-22.6) months. (3) ROC curve showed the optimal SUVmax cutoff value was 10.85. The OS of patients with SUVmax≤10.85 ( n=25) and with SUVmax>10.85 (n=43) were 40.0(95% CI:2.5-77.5) months and 18.0(95% CI:13.3-22.7) months(χ2=8.956, P=0.003), respectively. (4)Weight loss, VALG stage and primary tumor SUVmax were independent prog-nostic factors for OS (all P<0.05). Only VALG stage was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (P<0. 001) . Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET/CT can help to differentiate the different prognosis of SCLC-nsLDH patients, and provide more evidence for the choice of individual treatment strategy.

Objective:To investigate the early- and mid-term clinical, functional and radiographic outcomes of patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 64 patients (80 knees) who suffered from severe patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) and underwent PFA from January 2013 to December 2020. These patients were aged 60.50±8.82 (range from 27 to 82) years, including 9 males (12 knees) and 55 females (68 knees). All enrolled individuals presented typical PFOA. Unilateral PFA was performed in 48 cases, bilateral PFA in 16 cases, including one-stage PFA in 9 cases and two-stage PFA in 7 cases. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Oxford knee score (OKS) of patients with more than 5 years' follow-up were assessed to evaluate the clinical effects of PFA at the time before surgery, 1 year and 5 years after surgery. In addition, the patellar tilt angle (PTA) and hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle were measured and analyzed to evaluate the improvement of patellar tracking and progression of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis, based on axial X-ray imaging (skyline view) of knee and the full length standing X-ray imaging of the lower limbs at before surgery and 5 years after surgery. Meanwhile, the complications of all patients that related to the operation were recorded.Results:A total of 64 patients were followed up for 4.31±1.79 (range, 1.5 to 8.2) years. Twenty-five patients (32 knees) who followed up more than 5 years were analyzed. The VAS, HSS and OKS improved from 5.91±0.82, 68.06±6.03 and 21.22±3.46 preoperatively to 0.88±1.01, 90.09±3.30 and 39.06±3.37 at 1 year after surgery, and to 0.41±0.76, 94.53±2.99 and 42.13±3.17 at 5 years after surgery, respectively ( F=89.38, 81.47, 56.73, P<0.001). Additionally, comparing to the preoperative radiological data, the patellar tract was improved with the PTA decreased from 8.21°±3.14° preoperatively to 3.58°±4.48°at 5 years after surgery ( t=4.96, P<0.001). The HKA angle changed from 179.01°±1.43° preoperatively to 178.77°±1.67° at 5 years follow up ( t=1.71, P=0.096). There was no case of prosthesis loosening or wear and no case of obvious progression of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis that needed revision in all patients. Conclusion:Satisfied early- and mid-term clinical outcomes could be achieved by PFA in treating severe PFOA patients. PFA could relieve pain and improve function of knee joint.

The human body, as a highly complex ecosystem, harbors diverse microbial communities, with major factors triggering allergic reactions encompassing the skin microbiome and fungi. The global diversity of fungi is estimated to range from approximately 600 000 to 1 million species, and theoretically, IgE-mediated sensitization may occur to any fungal species. As of now, the World Health Organization/IUIS official database records 113 fungal allergens originating from 30 different fungi species, covering 42 allergen families. Regarding the skin microbiome, 14 distinct Malassezia allergens have been identified, all derived from three different Malassezia fungi species-- M. furfur, M. sympodialis, and M. globosa. The conditions of patients with these allergies are exceptionally complex. This article extensively discusses the latest research advancements and clinical applications related to skin microbiome and fungal allergies from the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) publication, "Molecular Allergology User′s Guide 2.0". Additionally, it compiles information on the sources of fungal allergens, characteristics of allergen component protein families, clinical relevance, and management strategies, both domestically and internationally. The aim is to enhance the profound understanding of allergen components among relevant professionals. Through the application of advanced allergen component diagnostic techniques, the goal is to achieve precise diagnosis and treatment of fungal allergy patients and explore the mechanisms underlying fungal sensitization and pathogenesis, laying the foundation for studying the fungal allergen protein sensitization spectrum in the Chinese population.
