Objective To synthesize 628F-Py-AMD3465,to investigate its biodistribution in mice and to perform the microPET/CT imaging on mice bearing human lung cancer cell (A549).Methods AMD3465 quaternary ammonium salt precursor was directly labeled with 18F,then 628F-Py-AMD3465 was synthesized through nucleophilic reaction,hydrolysis,neutralization and the product was purified using HPLC.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity were analyzed by HPLC.Fifteen Kunming mice were injected with 5.55 MBq of 628F-Py-AMD3465 and sacrificed at 5,20,40,60 and 120 min postinjection.The selected tissues were harvested and weighed,and the radioactivity in the tissues was measured by an automated γ-spectrometer.The ％ID/g was calculated.MicroPET/CT studies were performed on A549-bearing mice after injecting 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 through vena caudal.Paired t test was used.Results 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 was successfully synthesized with the labeling yield of (9.0±2.0)％,the total synthesis time was about 60 min,and the radiochemical purity was more than 98％.Biodistribution studies showed that the radiouptake was higher in the kidneys and bladder of normal mice,which demonstrated that 6-18 F-Py-AMD3465 was mainly excreted through the kidneys.Biodistribution in A549-bearing mice was similar to that in normal mice.The tumor/muscle ratio at 40 min was 5.0,but the radiouptake of the tumor was still lower than that of the normal lung:(8.05±0.35) ％ID/g vs (9.33±0.66) ％ID/g;t=5.26,P＜0.05.MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the high-uptake location of 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 in tumor-bearing mice was similar to the normal mice,and the tumor uptake reached the maximum level at 45 min post-injection (SUV 0.67).Conclusions 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 can be synthesized by a simple method.A lower uptake could be shown in the tumor compared to that in the lung and the tracer has limited diagnostic value for lung cancer.

Objective To explore the definition,classification and imaging characteristics of abdominal enterogenous cysts in in-fant.Methods 18 patients with abdominal enterogenous cyst in infant,confirmed by surgical pathology,with complete imaging data (including ultrasonography,CT and enhanced CT),have been enrolled in the study.The imaging findings and pathological character-istics have been analyzed,and the classification of diagnosis has been conducted.Results According to the positions and imaging fea-tures of the pathological changes,abdominal enterogenous cysts could be further classified as:gastrointestinal wall type,mesenteric type and retroperitoneal type.In this study,gastrointestinal wall type in 1 1 patients (outside intestinal wall in 2,inside intestinal wall in 8,and outside gastric wall in 1);mesenteric type in 4 and retroperitoneal type in 3 were identified.Conclusion Classification of diagnosis can be conducted according to the enterogenous cyst’s special imaging findings,which provides a reference for the surgical operation.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of barium stury of small bowel obstruction due to various bowel diseases.Methods Barium meal study and enteroclysis (small bowel enema)were performed in 23 patients with incomplete small bowel obstruction due to small bowel diseases confirmed by operation.The imaging data were retrospectively analysed.Results Of the 23 patients,14 cases were malignancy,9 cases were benignant.Conclusion Both barium meal study and enteroclysis( small bowel enema) with air-barium double-contrast technique are of diagnostic value in incomplete small bowel obstruction due to small bowel diseases.

According to the super-position principle of the reinforcement of biological activities, a series of novel E-substituted 2, 3-diaryl propenoic acyloxy phosphonate derivatives were designed and synthesized. And the structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the cytotoxicities of all compounds on A-549, SGC-7901 and EC-109 in vitro were evaluated by MTT assay, and some of them showed good antitumor activity. Among the active compounds, especially, the IC50 value of compound 3e was (12.7 ± 1.9) μmol x L(-1) against A-549 cells, similar to cisplatin [IC50 = (8.0 ± 1.5) μmol x L(-1)], compounds 3g and 3k had better inhibition effect on EC-109 cells growth, with the IC50 values of (9.5 ± 1.8) μmol x L(-1) and (11.5 ± 0.9) μmol x L(-1) respectively, and compounds 3i and 3k exhibited good cytotoxic property on A-549, SGC-7901 and EC-109, which were worth further investigation.

BACKGROUND: The degradable poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) has superior mechanical property and biocompatibility.OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the intravascular biocompatibility of PHBHHx in vivo.METHODS: We developed hybrid materials based on decellularized xenogenic vascular scaffolds that were coated with PHBHHx and implanted it into the abdominal aorta of New Zealand rabbits. The decellularized xenogenic pulmonary artery patch without PHBHHx coating served as the control. The implanted patches were determined for the histology, immunofluorescence staining, scanning electron microscopy and calcium contents at 1, 4 and 12 weeks after the surgery.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hybrid patches exhibited smooth lumen surface without thrombus, the intimal hyperplasia was mild and recellularization was complete; immunofluorescence staining showed that the endothelial cells in the neointima were positive for CD31, with continuous single-layer arrangement, interstitial cells were positive for smooth muscle actin; the calcium content in hybrid patches was obviously lower than that in uncoated patches. PHBHHx shows a remarkable intravascular biocompatibility in vivo and is believed as an ideal candidate for lumen coating of cardiovascular tissue engineering.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of radionuclide salivagram in children with pulmonary aspiration.Methods From March 2012 to June 2015,a total of 62 patients (37 males,25 females;age range:2 d-14 years) with suspected pediatric aspiration pneumonia were enrolled in this retrospective study.All patients underwent gastroesophageal reflux (GER) imaging and(or) radionuclide salivagram.Detection rate of pulmonary aspiration by the two imaging techniques was compared with x2 test.Results Of 62 patients,14 were diagnosed as pulmonary aspiration,including 1 detected by GER imaging,and 13 detected by salivagram.The detection rate for pulmonary aspiration by radionuclide salivagram (26.0％,13/50) was significantly higher than that by GER imaging (3.1％,1/32;x2=7.211,P＜0.05).Eight of the 13 cases with pulmonary aspiration diagnosed by radionuclide salivagram underwent upper gastrointestinal radiography,and 5 cases had visible contrast agent in the airway.Conclusion Radionuclide salivagram has a higher detection rate for pulmonary aspiration compared to GER imaging,and has good concordance with the traditional upper gastrointestinal radiography.

Objective To study the risk factors in patients with trauma accompanied by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.Method The data of 107 patients with trauma in ICU,Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology,were retrospectively studied.All patients were divided into 2 groups:MODS group and non-MODS group.The clinical and laboratory,results,ISS score,APACHEⅢscore and GCS score were studied.Results There were no differences on gender,age and mobility of shock between the two groups.There were significant differences on the treatment of shock,ISS score,APACHEⅢscore,CCS score,the levels of blood sugar and platelet between two groups.The Logistic regression analysis showed the main risk factors were treatment of shock,ISS score and APACHEⅢscore.Conclusions The risk factors in patients with trauma accompanied by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome were the treatment of shock, ISS score and APACHEⅢscore.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of postmortem multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) by observing and analyzing the injury features in the traffic accident victims. METHODS: Ten traffic accident victims were scanned with whole body MSCT. The systemic autopsy was subsequently performed to compare with the results of MSCT. The advantages and disadvantages of autopsy and MSCT for obtaining the information of traffic accident injuries were then analyzed. RESULTS: MSCT could reveal 3D shape of fractures clearly and detect air accumulation in different positions of the body, which showed the obvious advantages compared with autopsy. However, the resolution of MSCT was limited compared to the detection of organ and soft tissue injuries. CONCLUSION A combination of MSCT and autopsy is the best way for determining the manner and the cause of death in traffic fatality victims.
