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.

AIM: To examine Nucleostemin (NS) expression in tumor cells, and observe the effect of NS specific RNA interference on the cell proliferation in Hela cells. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from 6 kinds of cultured tumor lines, the NS expression level was measured by RT-PCR and Northern blot. An NS-specific siRNA expression vector was constructed to transfect HeLa cell (NS-siRNA-HeLa), and the proliferation of the cell was observed. RESULTS: NS was highly expressed in 6 kinds of tumor cells. NS expression level in the NS-siRNA-HeLa cells was remarkably reduced, and the percentage of G_0/G_1 cells increased. The neoplasm forming ability in nude mice by the NS-siRNA-HeLa cells was decreased. CONCLUSION: NS is highly expressed among tumor cells. NS-specific siRNA inhibits the entry of the cell cycle into the S phase, and remarkably reduces the proliferation ability of HeLa cells in vitro and in vivo.

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.

SUMOylation is a post‐translational modification involved in various cellular processes .SUMO‐specific protease (SENP) regulates SUMOylation by removing SUMO from conjugated substrates (deSUMOylation) and promoting maturation of SUMO precursor .In order to express Giardia lambia (C2 strain) SENP catalytic domain in E .coli ,the full‐length open reading frame of SENP was amplified by PCR from Giardia lamblia genome DNA .The PCR product about 1 620 bp was cloned into cloning vector pGM‐T .Sequencing result showed the sequence of SENP in C2 strain was identical with that in Gi‐ardia WB strain .Bioinformatics analysis showed that SENP protein possessed a 372 aa discontinuous ULP catalytic domain at C‐terminal .The catalytic domain of SENP was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET‐28a(+ ) .The recombinant vector pET‐28a(+ )‐SENPc was transformed into E .coli Rosetta(DE3) ,then the recombinant SENPc protein was expressed by IPTG induction .SDS‐PAGE and Western blot using anti‐His Tag antibody showed that the expression product of SENPc was a fusion protein with a molecular weight of 43 kD .The successful prokaryotic expression and bioinformatics analysis of Giardia lamblia SENP protein provide basis for further functional study of SENP .

Objective To investigate the relationship between a novel polymorphism of C5L2 gene and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Uygur population from Xinjiang region.Methods A novel single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP),698C>T(P233L) was found using a polymerase chain reaction direct-sequencing method.C5L2 gene 698C > T variant from 252 patients with T2DM and 747 healthy control subjects was detected by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism.Result Heterozygote carriers of the 698CT genotype were more frequent among T2DM patients than that among controls (0.107 vs 0.036,x2 =18.576,P<0.01) in the Uygur population. After adjustment of confounding factors such as sex,age,smoking,alcohol consumption,and hypertension,as well as serum levels of triglyceride,total cholesterol,low-density lipoproteincholesterol,and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol,the difference remained significant ( P<0.01,OR =3.373,95% CI 1.736-6.553 ).Conclusion The CT genotype of the C5L2 gene might be a risk factor of T2DM in Uygur nationality population in Xinjiang.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in the detection of radiation-induced myocardial damage in beagles by comparing two pre-scan preparation protocols as well as to determine the correlation between abnormal myocardial FDG uptake and pathological findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The anterior myocardium of 12 beagles received radiotherapy locally with a single X-ray dose of 20 Gy. 18F-FDG cardiac PET/CT was performed at baseline and 3 months after radiation. Twelve beagles underwent two protocols before PET/CT: 12 hours of fasting (12H-F), 12H-F followed by a high-fat diet (F-HFD). Regions of interest were drawn on the irradiation and the non-irradiation fields to obtain their maximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax). Then the ratio of the SUV of the irradiation to the non-irradiation fields (INR) was computed. Histopathological changes were identified by light and electron microscopy. RESULTS: Using the 12H-F protocol, the average INRs were 1.18 +/- 0.10 and 1.41 +/- 0.18 before and after irradiation, respectively (p = 0.021). Using the F-HFD protocol, the average INRs were 0.99 +/- 0.15 and 2.54 +/- 0.43, respectively (p < 0.001). High FDG uptake in irradiation field was detected in 33.3% (4/12) of 12H-F protocol and 83.3% (10/12) of F-HFD protocol in visual analysis, respectively (p = 0.031). The pathology of the irradiated myocardium showed obvious perivascular fibrosis and changes in mitochondrial vacuoles. CONCLUSION: High FDG uptake in an irradiated field may be related with radiation-induced myocardial damage resulting from microvascular damage and mitochondrial injury. An F-HFD preparation protocol used before obtaining PET/CT can improve the sensitivity of the detection of cardiotoxicity associated with radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the value of (99)Tc(m)N-NOET dual-phase SPECT in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung tumors.
METHODSCT scan, early (20 to 30 min) and delayed (2 h) imaging of NOET SPECT were performed on 61 patients suspected of lung lesions before operation. The results were compared with the pathological findings. All cases were not treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgery before checks. Moreover, all patients had pathological diagnosis. To determine the value in differential diagnosis of tumors by analyzing the tumor uptake and excretion of (99)Tc(m)N-NOET, and the results were compared with that of CT.
RESULTSThe value of early T/N ratio (ER) in the malignant (G1) and benign (G2) groups was 1.25 ± 0.15 and 1.09 ± 0.11 (P < 0.001), respectively, and delayed T/N ratio (DR) was 1.40 ± 0.17 and 1.18 ± 0.21 (P < 0.001). The retention index (RI) of groups G1 was (12.22 ± 6.38)% and group G2 was (8.3 ± 10.91)%, with a non-significant difference between them (P > 0.05). The ER, DR and RI of NOET SPECT in the malignant patients were not significantly correlated with TNM staging, pathological types, tumor diameter, cavity in the lung tumor mass, history of smoking, tumor size and patient gender (P > 0.05). The sensitivity of NOET dual-phase SPECT and CT in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung tumors was 94.1% vs. 90.2%, specificity was 70.0% vs. 80.0% , positive predictive value (PPV) was 94.1% vs. 95.8%, negative predictive value (NPV) was 70.0% vs. 61.5 %, and accuracy was 90.2%. vs. 88.5% (P > 0.05 for all).
CONCLUSIONS(99)Tc(m)N- NOET dual-phase SPECT could be used in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung tumors, with no significant differences compared with the efficacy of CT imaging. The semiquantitative indexes (ER, DR and RI) of NOET SPECT can also be used in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung tumors, and are not significantly correlated with TNM staging, pathological types, tumor diameter, cavity of the lung tumor mass, history of smoking, tumor size and patient gender.
