Objective To compare the differences of the spectral CT parameters between benign and malignant mediastina lymph nodes and to investigate the value of spectral imaging in the differential diagnosis. Methods According to the follow-up and pathology results, a total of 73 patients were enrolled in this study. One experienced radiologist determined the locations of lymph nodes on CT images corresponding to the surgical pathological ones. A total of 47 malignant nodes and 65 benign nodes were found. The longest and shortest diameters of lymph nodes in mediastina window were measured .The vHU, IC, WC, Zef and the CT values of normal lung, normal muscle and lymph nodes at 40, 70 and 140 keV were measured. The indices were compared between the benign nodes and malignant nodes by independent-samples t test. The Spectral HU curves were drawn. Results The long and short diameter of malignant lymph nodes were (28.8 ± 10.5),(20.3 ± 9.1)cm , while they were were (14.0 ± 4.6),(7.5 ± 1.8)cm for benign lymph nodes. Malignant nodes were significantly larger than benign nodes (t= 6.54, 7.13, respectively, P<0.05), The differences of the CT values at 40, 70 and 140 keV and the vHU, IC, WC, Zef for the normal lung, normal muscle and lymph nodes between the two groups had no statistical significance (P>0.05). The two groups showed similar spectral HU curve slopes (1.86 values 1.73). Conclusion Spectral imaging may not be helpful in the differential diagnosis of malignant and benign lymph nodes.

Objective To study features of the MRI and clinic in a family with pure hereditary spastic paraplegia (PHSPG) type 6.Methods Target loci (SPG3, 4, 6, 8 10 and 12) linkage analysis was performed in a SPG pedigree having 6 affected individuals using microsatellite markers and NIPA1 gene was screened for mutation by PCR-amplification and sequencing. MRI of brain and cervical and thoracic spinal cord were examined in these 6 patients and 6 normal controls matched for age and sex by two independent radiologists blinded to the clinical diagnosis. Cross-sectional areas and anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the spinal cord at the levels of C2~3, C7, T1~4, T9 were measured and data was statistically analyzed using the student's t test. Results A missense mutation of 316g→c in NIPA1 was identified in the affected subjects, presumably resulting in substitution of glutamic acid for arginine in residue 106. Evaluation of the brain MRI images revealed non-specific brain abnormalities. All patients presented thinning of cervical and upper thoracic spine with atrophy in both gray and white matter and enlarged subarachnoid cavity. In severe atrophic segments, a distinct boundary between grey and white matter was observed and the lesions in grey matter presented literal high intensity spots or patches with clear boundary on transaxial T2-weighted images (T2WI) and high signal intensity longitudinal strip on the sagittal T2WI. Cross-sectional areas and anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the spinal cord at C2~3, C7, T1~4 were significantly smaller in patients than in controls, while at the T9 level only transverse diameter showed significant difference (7.22±0.08 vs 8.17±0.41, t=2.870, P=0.046). Conclusions These findings indicate that the disease process in patients with SPG6 might be confined to the cervical and thoracic spinal cord, with atrophy in both white and grey matter having a distinct boundary.

Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2019;45(1):184-189
Objective: To construct and identify the monoclonal antibody of ATP synthase beta subunit (ATP5B) with high purity, and to lay foundation for further study. Methods: The ATP5B gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into the pET28a vector and transformed into K. coli BL21 (DE3). The protein expression was induced by IPTG and then the fusion protein was purified by nickel affinity chromatography column. The protein purity was detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Three female Balb/C mice were immunized with purified fusion protein and the tail vein blood was taken to detect the titer of ATP5B antibody by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The spleen cells from the immunized mice with the highest serum titer were mixed with the SP2/0 cells to establish the hybridoma cells and the fused cells were screened by indirect ELISA and monoclonally cultured. Karyotype analysis were performed in the positive cells. The hybridoma cells were intraperitoneally injected into 12 weeks old BALB/C mice to estabilish the ascites models. The titer of ascites was detected by indirect ELISA. The purity of tlie antibody was detected by SDS-PAGE. The antibody subtype was detected by ELISA. Results: After PCR amplification, a specific band of 1 455 bp was obtained, and the pET28a empty vector was ligated to obtain a recombinant pET28a/ATP5B vector. The target protein was expressed in the IPTG-induced bacteria solution; the SDS-PAGE results showed that the protein band was found at 51 000. The indirect ELISA results showed that the serum titer of the venous blood of immunized mice was up to 1: 64 000. In karyotype analysis, the total number of chromosomes in hybridoma cells was about the sum of myeloma cells and normal mouse spleen cells. The mouse ascites was prepared with the hybridoma cell line, and the highest titer of tlie antibody was 1 5 240 000. The subtype of the monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma cells was IgGl. Conclusion: The monoclonal antibody against ATP5B protein is successfully prepared by cloning, expressing and purifying the recombinant protein.

OBJECTIVETo explore the mechanism of paraquat (PQ) poisoning and to observe the changes in inflammatory cytokines in PQ-exposed rats treated in different ways.
METHODSFifty 8-week-old clean male Wistar rats were randomly divided into high-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group, low-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group, high-dose curcumin group, PQ poisoning group, and blank control group. On days 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 after PQ exposure, serum levels of transforming growth factor-β₁(TGF-β₁) , tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured. The pathological changes in lung tissue were evaluated by HE staining.
RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, the high-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group, low-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group, high-dose curcumin group, and PQ poisoning group had significantly increased serum levels of TGF-β₁, TNF-α, and IL-6 (P<0.05) , and the three cytokines in each group reached peak levels on day 14 after exposure. Compared with the PQ poisoning group, the high-dose curcumin group had significantly reduced serum levels of TGF-β₁, TNF-α, and IL-6 (P<0.05). On day 21 after exposure, there were no significant differences in serum levels of TGF-β₁, TNF-α, and IL-6 between the high-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group and the low-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group (P>0.05). The HE staining revealed alveolar inflammatory changes on days 1~7 and massive pulmonary fibrosis on days 14~21 in the high-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group, low-dose curcumin plus conventional treatment group, high-dose curcumin group, and PQ poisoning group, but the above changes were milder in the high-dose curcumin group than in the PQ poisoning group.
CONCLUSIONFor rats with PQ poisoning, curcumin can significantly reduce inflammatory response and pathological changes in lung tissue and inhibit and delay the development and progression of body injury.
