OBJECTIVE:To establish HPLC fingerprints of Yigan yiqi jieyu granules. METHODS:HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Diamonsil C18column with mobile phase consisted of water-acetonitrile(gradient elution)at flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 230 nm,and column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. Using paeoniflorin as control,HPLC chromatograms of 10 batches of samples were determined.The similarity was evaluated by using TCM Chromatogram Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System(2004 A version)to determine common peak. RESULTS:There were 34 common peaks in HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of samples,with the similarities>0.98. After validation,HPLC chromatograms of 10 batches of were in good agreement with control fingerprint. CONCLUSIONS:Established fingerprint can provide reference for identification and quality evaluation of Yigan yiqi jieyu granules.

Objective To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT and multiparameter MRI in the diagnosis of primary tumors of newly diagnosed prostate cancer.and analyze the correlation between SUVmax and clinical parameters of prostate cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 104 patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who underwent 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT and multi-parametric MRI from June 2017 to April 2018.The final pathological results were used as the gold standard for diagnosis.The age ranged from 42 to 89 years,with an average of (70.4 ± 8.9) years.The median total serum PSA was 18.44 (8.71,48.01)ng/ml.The pathological results were positive in 68 cases and negative in 36 cases.The sensitivity,specificity was calculated,the ROC curve was drawn and AUC value was calculated.The relationship between SUVmax value of prostate cancer and clinical parameters was analyzed.Results The sensitivity of 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT was 95.59％ (65/68) and the specificity was 88.89％ (32/36);the sensitivity of MRI examination was 91.18％ (62/68) and the specificity was 63.89％ (23/36).There were statistical differences between the specificity of the two examination (P =0.012).The ROC curve of 68 Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT was plotted and the AUC value was 0.954.Among the 104 suspected prostate cancer patients,the median SUVmax of benign prostatic tissue was 3.20(2.83,3.70),and the median SUVmax of prostate cancer tissue was 12.21 (7.48,17.46).Among 68 patients with prostate cancer,there were statistical differences between SUVmax values of prostate cancer tissues with different Gleason scores (P ＜ 0.01),ISUP group (P ＜ 0.01),risk grades (P =0.021),and SUVmax values.There was a positive correlation with Gleason score and ISUP group (r1 =0.7420,P＜0.01;r2 =0.754,P＜0.01).Conclusions The 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT examination had higher diagnostic efficacy than the multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer.The higher the SUVmax value predict the higher grade and higher risk.

Objective To compare the diagnostic differences for the detection of bone metastases between 68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT and 99Tcm-MDP bone scintigraphy in preliminary diagnosed prostate cancer patients.Methods Seventy-three patients who were diagnosed with prostate cancer by pathology were retrospectively analyzed from June 2017 to February 2018,and they all underwent both ss Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT and 99Tcm-MDP bone scintigraphy without therapy beforehand.Mean age was 69.1 (range 40-88) years,the mean PSA level was 144.59 (range 5.62-1 260.00) ng/ml,and the Gleason score ranged 6-10.The patients were divided into two groups by whether or not had bone metastases according to the aforementioned two examinations.Both the sensitivity and specificity are calculated.The number of bone metastatic focus of the two examinations were also compared through the Wilcoxon rank testing.Results Thirty-two of 73 patients were diagnosed with bone metastases.68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT and 99Tcm-MDP detected 32 and 31 bone metastases,with the sensitivity of 100.0％ (32/32,95 ％ CI 89.1％-100.0％) and 90.6％ (29/32,95％ CI 75.0％-98.0％),the specificity of 100.0％ (41/41,95％ CI 91.4％-100.0％) and 95.12％ (39/41,95％ CI 83.5％-99.4％),and the AUC of 1.000 (95％ CI 0.951-1.00) and 0.929 (95％ CI 0.844-0.976),respectively.There was significant difference in AUC between the two methods(P =0.034).Two examinations exhibited significantly different number of metastatic sites (Z =-2.949,P =0.003).Conclusions 68 Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT outperform 99Tcm-MDP bone scintigraphy for the detection of bone involvement in prostate cancer patients.It will be an important imaging supplement for prostate cancer patients and play an important role in term of the accurate treatment based on the more accurate evaluation.
