Objective To systematically review the efficiency of 18 F-FDG PET in glioma grading by using Meta-analysis. Methods Retrieval in PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)was performed. Relevant papers concerning with glioma diagnoses with 18 F- FDG PET were selected. Paper quality was evaluated according to the standard of diagnostic test recommended by Cochrane Workshop. The data of glioma malignancy degree defined as semi-quantitatively and qualitatively were extracted from the papers. Meta-analysis was conducted with the Meta-Disc software to calculate pooled weighted sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence interval (CI). Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was performed and the areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated. Results Seven hundred and fifty-three patients from 17 papers ( 16 in English, 1 in Chinese) were included. Two hundred and seventy-two patients from 11 papers were using semi-quantitative (tumor to cortex ratio, T/C; tumor to white matter ratio,T/W) method and 481 patients from 9 papers were using qualitative method (visual observation, some of the papers had 2 or more methods). After heterogeneity test was done, different effect models were selected. The pooled weighted sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with 95% CI for T/C group was 0. 952 (95% CI: 0. 903 -0. 980), 0. 409 (95% CI: 0. 318-0. 504) and 11. 746 (95% CI:5. 368-25. 702) respectively. The pooled weighted sensitivity, specificity and DOR with 95% CI for T/W group was 0. 857 (95% CI: 0. 768-0. 922), 0. 538 (95% CI: 0. 431 -0. 642) and 22. 066 (95% CI:7. 077-68. 800) respectively. The pooled weighted sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR)with 95% CI for qualitative method was 0.810 (95%CI: 0.757-0.855), 0.870 (95%CI: 0. 819-0.911 ) and 15.282 (95% CI: 3. 716-62. 851 ) respectively. The AUC for T/C group, T/W group and qualitative method was 0.8604, 0. 8373 and 0. 8724 respectively. Conclusions Grading glioma by 18 F-FDG PET with semi-quantitative method may provide high diagnostic sensitivity. If qualitative method is used, the diagnostic specificity may be higher.

Fatty acids of Ralstonia solanacearum cultured under different temperatures, times, pH values and cultural media were detected by using gas chromatography (GC) method. Rs-J.1.4-010704-01v, a viru- lent strain of R. solanacearum isolated from ginger was chosen for the experiment. The results showed that the kind of fatty acid of Rs-J.1.4-010704-01v fluctuated from 14 to 33. The contents of its three plentiful fatty acids, C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH, C16:0 and C18:1?7c (with retain times of 10.644, 10.950 and 14.177 min, respectively), also varied in a range of 55.66% to 75.69%. The diversification of the bacterium’s fatty acids at various cultural conditions was clustered into four groups by cluster analysis, according to the kinds and percentage contents of the fatty acids detected. The pathogenicities of Rs-J.1.4-010704-01v under 20?C and 25?C were deduced to be mid-virulent, with C16:0 less than C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH. The bac- terium showed as a virulent strain under the other cultural conditions including 30?C~40?C, 24 h~96 h, pH 5~9 and four cultural media (LB、NA、TTC and TSB), with C16:0 more than C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH.However, the difference between C16:0 and C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH raised significantly from 2.35 to 13.23 under 40?C and 48 h~96 h. Meanwhile, the kind of fatty acid increased more than 30 as the cultural time increased. It was concluded that temperature and cultural time had more significant effects on the fatty acid composition of R. solanacearum than pH value and cultural medium.
