Objective To investigate the feasibility of monitoring the tumor's hypoxic changes by 99Tcm-2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ethyl eihydrogen phosphate (MNLS) imaging after radiotherapy.Methods (1) H22 cells were cultured and mice model with liver cancer xenografte was made.The mice were imaged at 0.5,1,2,3,4,6 and 8 h (six mice in each group) after injected with 7.4 MBq 99TcmMNLS when the tumor size reach about 1 cm.Then the mice were sacrificed.The T/NT and ％ID/g of each time point was calculated.(2) The liver cancer bearing mice of radiotherapy group (25 Gy) and control group were imaged at 0,24,48 h,and then the technique of ROI was adopted to calculate the T/NT at each time point in the two groups.Immunohistochemical stain method was used to evaluate the expression level of HIF-1α in liver cancer.(3) One-way analysis of variance,the least significant difference t test,two-sample t test and Spearman correlation analysis were performed.Results (1) The uptake of 99TcmMNLS in the liver cancer bearing mice was significant at 2 h after injection and the ％ID/g was the highest.99Tcm-MNLS was excreted mainly through kidneys.(2) The T/NT and HIF-1α expression level in radiotherapy group at 24 h (2.65±0.27,(50.62±3.78)％) were lower than those at the instant (3.35±0.19,(85.32±0.94)％,t=5.640,6.701,both P＜0.05),but higher than those at 48 h (2.23±0.52,(21.69±0.75)％,t=7.674,4.911,both P＜0.05).The T/NT and HIF-1α expression in the radiotherapy group were significantly higher than those in the control group at the instant (2.74 ± 0.29,(28.26 ± 1.70) ％,t =4.235,3.473,both P＜0.05) but lower at 48 h (3.15±0.88,(67.64±3.55) ％,t =7.902,3.258,both P＜0.05).However,no significant difference was observed at 24 h between radiotherapy group and the control group (2.98±0.16,(58.45±0.98) ％,t =0.525,2.043,both P＞0.05).The change of T/NT closely correlated with the expression of HIF-1α in both the radiotherapy group and control group(r,=0.793,0.756,both P＜0.05).Conclusion 99Tcm-MNLS hypoxia imaging has potential to monitor changes of hypoxia in tumor after radiotherapy.

Stem cells refer to undifferentiated or inad equately differentiated cells that have the ability to become a variety of tissues,regenerate organs,and self expand.There is strong evidence that stem cells have abilities of self renewal differentiation,immune regulation,and a potential for targeted therapy,which all together support development of stem cell transplantation.Stem cell transplantation thera py has become a hot topic in recent years,and the basic theory and clinical application have made great progress.The a bilities of stem cells make their transplantation ideal to pro mote liver regeneration,inhibit liver fibrosis,and provide treatment for many diseases.This article will review the cur rent status and outlook of stem cell transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of radionuclide salivagram in children with pulmonary aspiration.Methods From March 2012 to June 2015,a total of 62 patients (37 males,25 females;age range:2 d-14 years) with suspected pediatric aspiration pneumonia were enrolled in this retrospective study.All patients underwent gastroesophageal reflux (GER) imaging and(or) radionuclide salivagram.Detection rate of pulmonary aspiration by the two imaging techniques was compared with x2 test.Results Of 62 patients,14 were diagnosed as pulmonary aspiration,including 1 detected by GER imaging,and 13 detected by salivagram.The detection rate for pulmonary aspiration by radionuclide salivagram (26.0％,13/50) was significantly higher than that by GER imaging (3.1％,1/32;x2=7.211,P＜0.05).Eight of the 13 cases with pulmonary aspiration diagnosed by radionuclide salivagram underwent upper gastrointestinal radiography,and 5 cases had visible contrast agent in the airway.Conclusion Radionuclide salivagram has a higher detection rate for pulmonary aspiration compared to GER imaging,and has good concordance with the traditional upper gastrointestinal radiography.

Objective To explore the influence of different injection techniques on the quality of bolus in 99mTc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging.Methods 395 patients accepted 99mTc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into three groups according to injection techniques:direct injection group (187 cases),intravenous route injection group (84 cases)and venous indwelling needle injection group (124 cases).The three groups were injected by each technique.Areas of interest (ROI) were drawn on abdominal aorta by Xeleris workstation in blood flow perfusion imaging.The time-radioactivity curves of ROI were got.The patients whose ROI curve formed a peak was successfully injected,and did not formed was unsuccessfully injected.The number of patients in three groups who were successfully or unsuccessfully injected was respectively calculated.The data of three groups was taken Chisquare test by SPSS17.0 software.Results 174 patients of the direct injection group,46 of the intravenous route injection group and 115 of the venous indwelling needle injection group were injected successfully.The successful rate respectively was 93.0％,54.8％ and 92.7％.The successful rate of the direct injection group and venous indwelling needle injection group were higher than intravenous route injection group.The difference had statistical significance.The successful rate of the direct injection group and venous indwelling needle injection group hadn't statistical significance.Conclusions The successful rates of the direct injection group and venous indwelling needle injection group were similar.The venous indwelling needle injection technique can be chosen.The successful rate of the intravenous route injection group was lower than the other two groups.The intravenous route injection technique should be chosen prudently.

Objective To detect the variations of the serum α-MSH and TNF-α in multiple-trauma patients and discuss their role in severity of casualties.Methods Fifty casualties were divided into two groups for study.There were 30 casualties with moderate severe trauma(ISS 16 ～ 25 point)and 20 patients with extreme severe trauma(ISS ＞ 25 point),and another 15 healthy subjects were enrolled as controls.The blood samples were obtained within 24 hours,and 3 days,5 days,7 days after admission.The serum levels of α-MSH and TNF-α in casualties with multiple injuries were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent double antibody sandwich method(ELISA).The data were expressed in((x)± s),and analyzed with chi-square test and repetitive measures of ANOVA by using SPSS 13.0 package.P value less than 0.05 indicated statistical significance Results The serum α-MSH levels of casualties within 24 hours,and 3 days,5 days,7 days after injury in the two groups were much lower than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.01),while the serum TNF-α levels of casualties were much higher than those in the control group (P ＜0.01).The serum α-MSH levels of casualties with extreme severe traumawere lower,and the TNF-αlevels of casualties with extreme severe trauma were higher than those in patients with moderate severe trauma(P ＜0.01,respectively).There were negative correlations between two biomarkers 24 hours,5d and 7d after injury.Conclusions In casualties,the serum levels of α-MSH decreased and the serum levelsof TNF-α increased,and the degrees of changes were closely depended on the severity of trauma,the more severe the more significant changes.There was a negative correlation between two biomarkers.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of percutaneous transhepatic variceal em-bolization (PTVE) with Cyanoacrylate(TH glue) with that of endoscopic variceal ligatien (EVL) in the treatment of esophageal varlceal bleeding. Methods In this prospective randomized controlled trial, cirrhot-ic patients with acute or recent esophageal variceal bleeding were assigned randomly to PTVE (n = 52) or EVL (n=50) groups. Variants including upper gastrointestinal (UGI) re-bleeding, esophageal variceal re-bleeding, relapse of esophageal variees and survival were evaluated. Results During the follow-up (median 24 and 25 months in the PTVE and EVL groups, respectively), UGI re-bleeding developed in 8 patients (15. 4%) in PTVE group and in 21 (42%) in EVL group (X2 =8. 87, P=0. 005). Recurrent esophageal varices bleeding occurred in 3 patients (5. 8%) in FIVE group and 12 (24%) in EVL group (X2 =5.38, P =0. 012, relative risk 0. 24, 95% confidence interval 0. 05 -0. 74). Reccurent rates of esophageal vari-ces in two groups were 17.3% (9/52) and 52% (26/50), respectively (X2 =13.61, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in survival rate between two groups (X2 = 3.30, P = 0. 054). Conclusion With sufficient embolization of lower esophageal and pefi-esophngeal varices and/or the cardial submucosal and perforating vessels, PTVE was more effective than EVL in the management of esophageal varices recur-rence and re-bleeding.
