Objective To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Methods Totally 32 patients with RCC confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.The tumor diameter and maximum standard uptake values (SUVrmax) of different pathological types (clear and none clear RCC),different Fuhrman grades (high grade and low grade of clear RCC) and different clinical stages (distant and without distant metastases) were ana lyzed and compared.Results 32 RCC patients including 33 primary tumors,31 lesions were detected by PET/CT and 2 were false negative,the detection rate was 93.94％.The PET/CT findings of 31 primary lesions were mixed density soft tissue masses,and the 18F-FDG uptake accessible,above or below to the normal renal parenchyma;the other 2 lesions of PET/CT findings were normal.18F-FDG uptake of vein tumor thrombus in 8 cases and metastases in 19 cases were higher than the organs affected.The tumor diameter and SUVmax had no statistically significant difference in different pathological types and Fuhrman grades;The tumor diameter had no statistically significant difference,and SUVmax had statistically sig nificant (t=3.852,P=0.001) between different clinical stages.Conclusion The PET/CT findings of RCC primary lesion are varied,and small clear RCC with low Furhman grade may have no obvious abnormality and missed diagnosis;18F-FDG PET/CT has important value in the preoperative staging of RCC.

Objective:To eliminate the interference of matrix in urea cream on the microbial limit test. Methods: A certain a-mount of magnesium sulfate was added to the test solution followed by stirring and placing sometime to make the cream layering, and the water layer was used for the microbial limit detection. Results:After magnesium sulfate was added to urea cream, microbial limit test was not affected by the matrix. The average recovery of Escherichia oli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger was 96. 00%, 97. 00%, 100. 00%, 99. 00% and 101. 00%, respectively. The negative and positive results of Psudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus auress were reliable. Conclusion:In the detection of microbial limit for urea cream, mag-nesium sulfate can be used as a good auxiliary agent to make the detection method more convenient and reliable.

To observe the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression in C 6 glioma cells with VEGF antisense oligonucleotides.VEGF expression in C 6 glioma cells was examined quantitatively and qualitatively with immunofluorescence flow cytometric analysis and immunohistochemistry.Results showed that VEGF antisense ODNs inhibited the VEGF expression in C 6 glioma cells,and the inhibition was concentration dependent.This indicates that VEGF antisense ODNs can effectively suppress the VEGF expression in C 6 glioma cells.

To observe the inhibitory effects of VEGF antisense oligonuoleotide on angiogenesis and glioma growth of tumor bearing rats. 1?10 6 C 6 glioma cells(20?l) were seeded with high flow microinfusion into right caudate nucleus of all rats with sterotactic technique. In the treatment groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ 1 000 ?mol/L, 2 000 ?mol/L VEGF antisense oligonucleotide was respectively given at the site of seeding twice 1 and 2 weeks after cell inoculation. The control group received only 20?l Hank′s solution twicely. Three weeks after cell inoculation, the general condition of the treated rats were better, while rats in control group were in precarious conditions. The inhibition rate of tumor growth was 91 5% in the treated group Ⅰ, 100% in the treated group Ⅱ. The expressions of VEGF mRNA, VEGF, and MVD were significantly different between treatment and control groups. The results indicated that VEGF was required for the maintenance of angiogenesis in the tumor, and inhibition of VEGF might be a therepeutic strategy in the treatment of glioma.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of psychological intervention on anxiety and depression in hearing-impaired children and adolescents. MethodsThe literature was researched from the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang Database on psychological intervention on anxiety and depression for hearing-impaired children and adolescents until July, 2023. After screening, author, country, study object, study design, intervention mode, outcome, and measurement tools were extracted from the literature. ResultsEight articles from three countries were included, including eight randomized controlled trials, involving 404 participants, publishing mainly from 2013 to 2023. The types of psychological intervention included family support education, emotional intelligence training, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-confidence group training, and play therapy, and so on, which improved social phobia, and relieved the levels of anxiety and depression of children and adolescents with hearing impairment. ConclusionPsychological intervention can effectively alleviate the anxiety and depression of children and adolescents with hearing impairment.

AIM: To explore the mechanisms of resistance to 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) in human colon cancer cells.METHODS: 5-FU-resistant cell lines were established and their IC50 were calculated by detection of cell survival rate.Western blotting was performed to analyze the expression of several proteins,by which the possible mechanisms of acquired resistance to 5-FU were determined in human colon cancer cells.RESULTS: The resistant cells were resistant to 5-FU-induced S phase arrest as well as the expression of DNA damage marker-phosphor-histone H2A.X.Furthermore,data demonstrated that over-expression of Bik,Bcl-Xs,and Bcl-XL proteins were observed in 5-FU-resistant cell lines.However,the DLD1/Bcl-XL cells were only partially resistant to 5-FU-induced apoptosis,but not 5-FU-induced S phase arrest and phosphor-histone H2A.X.CONCLUSION: Over-expression of Bcl-XL protein certainly contributes to acquired 5-FU resistance in human colon caners,but has no effect on 5-FU-induced DNA damage and cell cycle disorder,suggesting that other mechanisms are involved in acquired resistance to 5-FU in human colon cancer.

Objective To explore the safety of Yttrium-90 resin microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) on malignant liver tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 patients with malignant liver tumors who underwent ⁹⁰Y-SIRT from February 2023 to November 2024 at Weifang People’s Hospital. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment were analyzed to assess the safety of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT. Results Among the 64 patients, there were 52 males (81.25%) and 12 females (18.75%); the average age was (56.29±11.08) years. Seven patients (10.94%) had tumors with maximum diameter of less than 5 cm, 38 patients (59.38%) had tumors with maximum diameter of 5-10 cm, and 19 patients (29.68%) had tumors with maximum diameter of greater than 10 cm. There were 47 cases (73.44%) of solitary lesions and 17 cases (26.56%) of multiple lesions; 53 cases (82.81%) were primary liver cancers and 11 cases (17.19%) were metastatic liver cancers. Of the 64 patients, 63 successfully completed the Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (^99mTc-MAA) perfusion test and received the ⁹⁰Y-SIRT; one patient received ⁹⁰Y-SIRT after the second ^99mTc-MAA perfusion test due to a work error. The most common adverse reactions included grade 1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation in 26 cases (40.62%) and grade 2 in 2 cases (9.37%), grade 1 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation in 27 cases (42.18%) and grade 2 in 7 cases (10.93%); grade 1 nausea in 17 cases (26.56%) and grade 2 in 6 cases (9.37%); grade 1 abdominal pain in 12 cases (18.75%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%); grade 1 vomiting in 11 cases (17.18%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%). Conclusion The adverse reactions of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT for treating malignant liver tumors are mild, indicating good safety.
