Objective To investigate the bilateral flow-mediated dilation of brachial artery (BA-FMD) and nitroglycerin mediated dilation (BA-NMD) in patients with cerebral infarct, and to find out if the vasodilation of internal catotid artery after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin can be detected as a more direct way to reflect the vasodilation in patients with cerebral vascular diseases. Methods High resolution ultrasonic system was used to measure 13 patients with acute cerebral infarction. The diameter of brachial artery, internal carotid artery and common carotid artery was measured at relaxation, reactive congestion in the brachial artery and after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin. Meanwhile, the intima media thickness (IMT) and plaques of carotid artery was detected. Results Paralysis did not lead to differences in vasodilation of brachial artery (r=0.52, P=0.07). There was a correlation between ICA-NMD and BA-NMD (r=0.83, P=0.01). Conclusion There were no significant differences between brachial vasodilation in paretic and non-paretic limbs of patients with acute cerebral infarction. Ultrasonic measurement of ICA-NMD can be a more direct measure of the vasodilation of patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective:To investigate the impact of Bayesian penalized likelihood (BPL) PET reconstruction method on the uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of lungs, liver, aorta and bones. Methods:From March 2019 to June 2019, the 18F-FDG PET/CT images of 60 patients with clinical diagnosed tumors (29 males, 31 females, age: 24-89 (60.4±15.2) years) in Yuhuangding Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. PET images were reconstructed with ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM), time of flight (TOF)+ point spread function (PSF) and BPL (β=350) algorithms. Volumes of interest (VOIs) were delineated on the right upper lung lobe, the right liver, aortic root and lumbar vertebra. The mean standardized uptake value (SUV mean), maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max), peak of lean body standardized uptake value (SUL peak), standard deviation of standardized uptake value (SUV SD) and the SNR were measured. The percentage of SNR change (%ΔSNR) between the BPL method and non-BPL methods were calculated. The correlations between body mass index (BMI) and %ΔSNR were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference (LSD) t test were used to analyze the data. Results:There were no significant differences of SUV mean and SUL peak in lung, aorta, liver and lumbar vertebra among 3 methods ( F values: 0.04-1.95, all P>0.05). The SUV max in lung, aorta, liver and lumbar vertebra of BPL reconstruction (1.14±0.82, 2.13±0.37, 2.95±0.50 and 2.76±0.87) was significantly lower than those of TOF+ PSF (1.56±0.61, 2.99±0.75, 4.32±0.94 and 4.05±1.48) and OSEM (1.51±0.67, 3.00±0.70, 4.45±1.12 and 3.81±1.06) reconstructions ( F values: 20.59-52.24, all P<0.001) and SUV SD (0.13±0.07, 0.20±0.05, 0.26±0.06, 0.38±0.17) was also significantly lower than those of TOF+ PSF (0.24±0.11, 0.43±0.11, 0.58±0.15, 0.67±0.21) and OSEM (0.21±0.09, 0.42±0.10, 0.58±0.14, 0.63±0.20) reconstructions ( F values: 24.46-124.95, all P<0.001), while the SNR (4.67±1.34, 7.74±2.22, 8.17±1.77, 4.45±1.22) was significantly higher than those of TOF+ PSF (2.54±0.72, 3.55±0.82, 3.77±0.91, 2.49±0.69) and OSEM (2.65±0.64, 3.67±0.80, 3.75±0.87, 2.60±0.67) reconstructions ( F values: 83.04-247.73, all P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences between OSEM and TOF+ PSF reconstructed images in SUL peak, SUV mean, SUV SD and SNR (all P>0.05). In BPL group, SNR increased with the increase of BMI, and there were statistically differences of aortic SNR (7.07±2.21 vs 9.67±2.26) and liver SNR (7.75±1.85 vs 9.32±0.70) between BMI<25 kg/m 2 and BMI≥30 kg/m 2 ( F values: 3.46 and 4.19, both P<0.05). Positive correlations were found between %ΔSNR of lung, aorta, liver and lumbar vertebra in OSEM and TOF+ PSF and BMI ( r value: 0.042-0.354, all P<0.05). Conclusion:In background tissues, BPL algorithm has no significant impact on absolute quantification compared with OSEM and TOF + PSF reconstruction methods but it can significantly improve SNR, especially for the patients with large body weight.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical efficacy of adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy for the OSAHS children with sinusitis. METHOD: Reviewing 112 cases of children with OSAHS, in which the 80 patients without chronic sinusitis, 32 ones with chronic sinusitis. Among them, 103 cases of children with adenoidectomy, tonsil resection, 9 cases adenoidectomy only. We did questionnaire survey before and after surgeryand also did post-surgery clinical follow-up. RESULT: The effective rate was 90.0% for the OSAHS children without sinusitis after adenoid and tonsil ectomy surgery, while the effective rate was 46.9% for the ones with sinusitis, the efficiency was significant different in the two groups after surgery; the 16.1% children after tonsil ectomy surgery complained the incidence of pharyngeal foreign body sensation and pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia in children was 23.2%. CONCLUSION The efficiency was aviable for the OSAHS children without sinusitis after surgery; The efficiency was not aviable enough for the OSAHS children with sinusitis after surgery, so the latter one need adjuvant drug treatment; We also should be attention to the pharyngeal foreign body sensation and the lymphoid hyperplasia in children after tonsillectomy.

Purpose:The efficacy of evaluation of changes of tumoral uptake of 3'-deoxy-3'-[~(18)F] fluorothymidine (FLT) was comparatively analyzed with that of ~(18)F-FDG at early stage after anticancer chemotherapy.Materials and Methods:Cells derived from human lung adenocarcinoma were incubated with cisplatin (CDDP),5-fluorouracil(5-FU),doxorubicin (Dox),for 1,4,24 and 72h.The doses(CD-DP: 67 μM; 5-FU 1,540 μM;MTX: 440 μM;) were determined corresponding to a estimated 10% - 95% proliferation inhibition.The cells were allowed to recover before FLT or FDG being added into the culture media for 60 min.Cell counts,viability,estimated by MTT method,were used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy.Results: FLT uptake was increased significantly at 1 and 4 h after treatment with 5-FU( 145 ± 12%,150 ± 14%,P <0.01).decreased at 24 h and 72 h.In contrast,FLT accumulation was significantly reduced at cytostatic concentrations of CDDP at different time.The uptake of FDG did not change significantly at early time points after treatment,but decreased at 72 h.Conclusion: The tumor cell uptake of FLT revealed specific changes depending on the auti-cancer drug used at much earlier time than FDG after chemotherpay.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the long-term efficacy of nasal endoscopic opticnerve decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy(TON) and to explore its possible influencing factors. METHOD: To summarize the clinical data of 39 cases underwent transnasal decompression, which were followed-up for more than 1 year. The data, including optic canal CT scanning, flashed-elicited visual-evoked potential (FVEP), preoperational vision and visual field examination were reviewed. Nasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression was preformed. Whether or not optic nerve sheath incision decided to perform was according to preoperative CT and situations in operation. Postoperative follow-up including vision, visual field, funduscopy, nasal endoscopy were performed. RESULT: Total efficacy rate was 30. 77% (12/39), inefficacy rate was 69. 23%(27/39). The efficacy rate was 85. 71% with better than nolight perception, and the efficacy rate was 18. 75% with nolight perception, the clinical effect in the group of preoperative better than nolight perception was better than that of nolight perception, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The efficacy rate was 34. 38% with duration of less than 7 days from the traumatic point to the operation point, and the efficacy rate was 14. 29% for more than 7 days, but the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0. 05). The efficacy rate was 26. 32% with optic nerve sheathincision, while the efficacy rate was 35. 00% without optic nerve sheath incision, and there was no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05); Postoperative vision tended to stabilize until about 6 months post-operation, without complications. CONCLUSION The long-term efficacy of nasal endoscopic opticnerve decompression for TON was certain; The efficacy with preoperative residual vision was better than that of nolight perception, the factor of long or short duration from the trauma point to the operation point and the factor of optic nerve sheath incision didn't influence long curative effect. To avoid the secondary damage to the optic nerve after trauma was the key to increase long curative effect in TON.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of petroleum ether (60-90 ℃),ethyl acetate,ethanol and pyridineas residual organic solvents in imatinib mesylate API. Methods Capillary gas chromatography was adopted.The determination was performed on DB-WAX capillary column with FID detector.The injector temperature was 180 ℃and the temperature of FID was 200 ℃ by temperature programming with nitrogen serving as carrier gas at a flow rate of 5 mL·min-1.The injection volume was 1 μL.With N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) serving as solvent,four kinds of organic solvent residues in the samples were calculated by external standard method. Results The four kinds of organic solvent were completely separated under the established chromatographic condition.A good linearity was obtained in the concentration ranges of them (r=0.999 8-0.999 9).The sampling precisions (RSDs) were less than 2.0%(n=5).The average recovery rates of ethyl acetate,ethanol and pyridine were 97%-101%and that of petroleum ether was 88.7%(RSD<2.0%,n=5).The limits of detection for them were 0.58,0.42,0.18 and 0.61 ng respectively(S/N=3:1).The limits of quantification for them were 1.8,2.1,0.5 and 2.5 ng,respectively (S/N=10:1). Conclusion The method is simple,sensitive,accurate and reliable.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between p73 gene and the development and progression of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

METHODSThe levels of p73 transcripts in 61 ALL cell lines and 53 childhood ALL patients were assayed using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and their relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. Besides, the methylation status of p73 exon 1 was analysed by restriction-enzyme related PCR, methylation-specific PCR and bisulfite genomic sequencing in the 61 ALL cell lines.

RESULTSOf the 61 ALL cell lines, 42 showed expression of p73 mRNA, with a negative rate of 31.1%, and of the 53 primary childhood ALL samples, 39 showed expression of p73 mRNA, with a negative rate of 26.4%. Loss of p73 expression was significantly associated with the reduced disease free survival and overall survival of the patients. 39.3% (24/61) of the ALL cell lines showed hypermethylation of p73 exon 1, while normal lymphocytes and most cell lines expressed p73 mRNA were not hypermethylated.

CONCLUSIONThere was a higher negative expression rate of p73 mRNA in childhood ALL. The main mechanism of the loss expression would be the hypermethylation of p73 gene. p73 gene inactivation might play an important role in the pathogenesis of ALL. Examination of p73 mRNA might have clinical significance in predicting prognosis of childhood ALL.
