Objective To predict the value of 99mTc-NOET gated myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging (GSPECT) in detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) and the theraputic effect of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Methods First, 70 patients suspected of CAD underwent 99mTc-NOET (group NOET1) or 99mTc-MIBI (group MIBI1) rest GSPECT and coronary angiography (CAG) was performed within 1 week after GSPECT. Second, 53 patients with CAD underwent 99mTc-NOET (group NOET2) or 99mTc-MIBI (group MIBI2) rest GSPECT before and 1, 3 and 6 months after PTCA and/or stent treatment. Results The sensitivity and specificity had no difference between group NOET1 and MIBI1 in detecting CAD. Comparison of group NOET 2 and MIBI 2: ①59.29%, 64.60% and 66.37% of the abnormal myocardial segment was improved in group NOET2.1, 3 and 6 months after PTCA, while 20.35%, 55.10% and 61.22% respectively in group MIBI2;②There was no difference of the incidence of clinical events and the myocardial function parameters before and after PTCA in group NOET2 and MIBI2. Conclusion Compared with 99mTc-MIBI, 99mTc-NOET has a greater clinical value for CAD diagnosis, PTCA efficacy and observation of the clinical events incidence.

Objective To investigate the relationship between intracranial atherosclerotic plaque stability and stroke recurrence risk.Methods Forty-eight patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial atherosclerosis in Guangdong Province Hospital of TCM were analyzed retrospectively.After the Essen Stroke Risk Scale (ESRS) was used to assess the risk factors for the patients,they were divided into either an ESRS ≥3 group (n=21 in the high-risk recurrence group) or an ESRS <3 group (n=27 in the low-risk recurrence group).Both groups of patients underwent high-resolution MR imaging (HR-MRI) examinations of the intracranial guilty vessels (basilar artery or unilateral middle cerebral artery).According to the signal intensity of HR-MRI on the T1-weighted imaging,T2-weighted imaging,and T1 fat suppression sequences,the intracranial atherosclerotic stable plaques and unstable plaques were distinguished.The stabilization of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques was compared in patients of both groups.Results There were significant differences in the age and incidences of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and unstable plaques in patients of both groups (P<0.05).Further multivariate logistic regression analysis of the four factors showed that the age,hypertension,diabetes,and intracranial atherosclerotic unstable plaques were the high-risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke (ORs,87.114,159.423,8.942,and 11.551,respectively;95%CIs 4.218-1 799.078,3.235-7 855.957,1.054-75.857,and 1.011-132.043,respectively;all P<0.05).Conclusion In addition to the traditional risk factors such as age,hypertension,and diabetes,the intracranial atherosclerotic unstable plaque is an independent risk factor for high-risk recurrence of ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamic action of Yunkang Capsule(YKC).Methods The animals were divided into YKC groups(at high-,moderate-and low-dosage respectively),diphenidol control group,model control group and blank control group.The action of YKC on vertigo and thrombosis,hemorrheologic indexes,piamatral microcirculation and free radicals of the animal models were observed.Results YKC could significantly prolong the latency of vertigo,reduce wet weight of thrombus,decrease blood viscosity,plasma viscosity and hematocrit,promote the dilation of piamatral micro-vessels,increase the amount of interweave microdot,increase plasma SOD activity and decline plasma MDA content of animal models.Conclusion YKC has actions of counteracting vertigo and thrombosis,improving hemorrheology and microcirculation,and clearing away free radicals.

Objective To compare SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI in the diagnosis of benign hip lesions. Methods Twenty-two patients suspected avascular necrosis of femoral head with hip discomfort, pain or action limited were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent radionuclide bone scan and MR examination within 5 days, and the diagnosis was proved with clinical follow-up. Results Eighteen necrosis of the femoral head and 4 hip arthritis including 1 patient with ankylosing spondylitis were found in 44 hip joints of 22 patients. MRI detected 17 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis, while SPECT/CT fusion image found out 18 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis. There was corresponding relationship in signs of hip lesions between MRI and SPECT/CT fusion imaging. Conclusion SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI has no markedly difference in the diagnosis of hip benign lesions, and is complementary to each other. SPECT/CT fusion image can distinguish the hip lesions from the femoral head lesions, and has a higher accuracy of diagnosing hip lesions than whole body bone scanning.

The changes of Fas.FasL and Bcl-2 expression in thyrocytes of patients with Graves'disease were investigated before and 2 weeks after 131Ⅰ administration. The results showed that 131Ⅰ couhl induce thyrocytes to express the apoptotic protein Fas, FasL and the anti-apoptotic protein Bet-2 in patients with Graves'disease. A statistically significant correlation was found between the dose of 131Ⅰ and the expression levels of Fas and FasL but not Bet-2 ,suggesting that early onset of hypothyroid after 131Ⅰ administration may be due to the increased expression of Fas and FasL in thyrocytes.
