China Medical Equipment 2017;14(4):21-24
How to study a method that can significantly improve the therapeutic gain ratio of malignant tumor is one of the problems must be solved in the field of cancer therapy. However, how can effectively treat malignancy patients with contraindications of operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been a difficult problem in cancer therapy. The 125I brachytherapy was suitable for malignancy patients with contraindications of operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The guidance of multimodal imaging could contribute to the definitions of tissue density imaging target and biological target, and could ensure the targeting and conformity of treatment. Using the quality assurance and quality control measurements (QA/QC) optimized by radiation dosimetry; using therapy planning system (TPS) to make plan, and adopt optimizing radiation dosimetry and dose volume histogram (DVH) to evaluate TPS, and using image to guide particle implantation and adopt series of methods, such as real-time location verification, dosimetry verification post-implantation, therapy efficacy determination, follow-up and so on, to improve therapeutic gain ratio and partially control therapy efficacy, and then significantly reduce adverse reaction. All of these have important clinical value for increasing survival rate and quality of life.

China Medical Equipment 2017;14(4):13-17
Single nuclear medicine functional imaging (including SPECT and PET) couldn't fully meet the demand of clinical diagnosis because of its own limits, thus the multimodality imaging equipment integrated anatomical and functional images has became the development trend of the nuclear medicine and even the entire medical imaging. Following the earliest SPECT-CT and PET-CT which having been widely used in clinic, the newest PET-MR has also been applied to clinical practice. PET-MR combined MR images with PET function image is substantial to the clinical diagnosis of cerebral nervous system diseases, cardiovascular system diseases and tumor, etc. In this paper, we reviewed the current application situation and prospects of PET-MR in cerebral nervous system diseases.

Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2003;0(05):-
SUMMARY Neuroreceptor imaging with radionuclide tracing in vivo has been greatly developed recently.Distribution,density,and activity of receptors in the brain can be visualized by the radioligands labeled for emission computed tomography(ECT),including PET(positron emission tomography)and SPECT(single photon emission computed tomography).The functional and quantitative imaging for several receptors,such as dopamine receptors,serotonin receptors,cholinergic receptors,benzodiazepine receptors,and opioid receptors,has clinical importance.The preparation of receptor imaging agents,foundation of the physio-mathematical model,and the development of nuclear medicine instruments are the main points.In the present review,we will concentrate on introducing the development of brain receptor imaging.

Even though multimodal imaging system has already been applied in clinic, the PET-MRI still is a revolutionary progress of medical imaging, and it is a landmark after PET-CT imaging equipment. MRI not only can solve the limitations of CT, but also can provide abundant morphology and function information; at the same time, PET also play important role in the diagnosis of tumor, nervous system diseases and cardiovascular disease; and in the treatment decision, treatment effect evaluation and prognosis evaluation when it is applied in research of physiological and disease state at the levels of molecular activity and metabolism of human body. With the rapid development of science and technology, this article has summarized the imaging technology and clinical application of PET-MRI in recent years.

The radioactive iodine uptake(RAIU) has great value in determining the 131I treatment dosage of patients suffered from hyperthyroidism and judging thyroid function. Many factors which could interfere the results of RAIU were as follows: instrumental factors, thyroid radioactivity counts measurement, counts of a calibrated standard in a neck phantom and counts of room background, iodinated drugs and food, anti-thyroid medication, among other causes, have shown to induce varying degrees of errors in RAIU measurements. Irregular measurements which may interfere with radioactive iodine uptake are commonly seen in clinical practice, yet its actual influence has not been reported. Optimization, regularization and quality control of the radioiodine uptake measurement are essentials for clinical routine practice to guarantee appropriate values for clinical hyperthyroidism diagnosis and treatment. All the above factors affecting the measurement of thyroid function instrument for radioactive iodine uptake are analyzed and then put forward the corresponding solutions.

The microRNA (miRNA) is a novel class of small noncoding RNA that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNA.It has been shown to play important roles in a broad range of biological processes,especially in the occurrence,development,invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors.Conventional detection methods,such as Northern blot and realtime PCR have been used to assess endogenous miRNA expression.However,these techniques are invasive and cannot be used repetitively in living animals.Recent remarkable advances of in vivo imaging techniques have provided the capability of noninvasive imaging of miRNA in vivo.The recent progress about the reporter gene,antisense luminescence,nanoparticle and multimodal imaging for visualizing miRNA expression in vivo was reviewed.

Early diagnosis and precision medicine generally show significant differences in the prognosis of patients with carcinoma. Angiogenesis not only plays a key role in tumor pathophysiology but also acts as an important drug target. Peptides with specific se-quences can target specific molecules on the endothelial cellular membrane during tumor angiogenesis. Radionuclide-labeled molecu-lar probes exhibit many advantages in oncotherapy. This article focuses on the progress of radionuclide-labeled RGD and RRL in radio-immunoimaging and radioimmunotherapy targeting tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the quality of autoantibody testing around the whole country.Methods Laboratories that perform autoantibody testing were recruited by letters or telephone communications.The auto-antibodies examined by the quality-control survey included anti-nuclear antibody (ANA),anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibody,anti-extractable nuclear antigens (anti-ENA),antimitochondria antibody (AMA),anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA),and anti-citrulline antibody (CCP).Each autoantibody was tested for 3 samples,so 15 samples were tested in total.Sample distribution and data analysis were double-blinded.Qualitative interpretation,staining patterns were evaluated by IIF.The agreement with qualitative interpretation for each specimen was evaluated by ELISA,and Immuno-Blot/Dot-Blot.Results One hundred and eight laboratories participated in this study.The testing methods included indirect immumofluorescence (IIF),immuno-Blot (IB),Dot-Blot (DB),double diffusion method (DID),enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),chemo-illuminescent assay,Dot-immunogold filtration assay.The accuracy rates were 82%,83%,95%,96%,86%,respectively for ANA,anti-dsDNA,AMA,ASMA,and anti-CCP antibody.Anti-ENA were further divided into anti-SNP,anti-Sm,anti-SSA,anti-SSB,anti-Scl-70 subgroups,and the accuracy rates were 84%,95%,98%,98%,88%,respectively.The distribution of quantitative values by different laboratories for ANA (by IIF),anti-dsDNA,anti-CCP antibody (by ELISA) varied remarkably.Conclusion Hospitals that enrolled in the survey and the items involved for quality control were increasing year by year.The accurate rates of ANA,anti-dsDNA in this survey were similar to the past national quality control surveys,the quality of AMA/ASMA,anti-CCP antibodies test was better than that of the past surveys,but the quality of anti-ENA antibodies test needs to be improved.
