OBJECTIVETo compare retrospectively the role of (18)F-FDG SPECT-CT and conventional imaging in the detection of recurrence and metastases in postoperative breast cancer patients with elevated level of tumor markers, and to evaluate the impact of (18)F-FDG SPECT-CT on the management of breast cancer patients.
METHODS(18)F-FDG SPECT-CT was performed in 35 breast cancer patients with suspected recurrence based on elevated level of serum tumor markers. Chest, abdomen and pelvic CT were performed in all patients and whole-body bone scan was performed in only 21 patients. The final diagnosis of recurrent breast cancer was confirmed by either pathology or observation by imaging during the follow-up for more than 1 year.
RESULTSAmong the 35 patients, the final diagnosis of recurrence or metastasis was established in 19 patients. Of the 114 sites of increased FDG uptake, 93 were interpreted as malignant and 21 as benign. On site-based analysis, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values were 93.1%, 55.6%, 84.2%, 87.1% and 71.4%, respectively, for (18)F-FDG SPECT-CT, and 80.5%, 60.5%, 75.6%, 80.2% and 65.1%, respectively, for conventional imaging. On the patient-based analysis, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values were 84.2%, 62.5%, 74.3%, 72.7% and 76.9%, respectively, for (18)F-FDG SPECT-CT, and 74.1%, 67.6%, 70.6%, 68.3% and 73.9%, respectively, for conventional imaging. The results of (18)F-FDG SPECT-CT led to changes in the subsequent clinical management of 40.0% of these patients.
CONCLUSIONIn postoperative breast cancer patients with elevated level of tumor markers during the follow-up, (18)F-FDG SPECT-CT is more sensitive for detecting recurrence and metastases than conventional imaging.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the inhibitory effects of tyroservatide and its amino acid mixture on growth of hepatocarcinoma.
METHODSHepatocarcinoma in nude mice was induced by implantation of cells of human hepatocarcinoma cell line BEL-7402. The inhibition of hepatocarcinoma growth was determined by calculating the tumor volume and measuring the tumor weight. The effects of tyroservatide on tumor cells in nude mice were assessed by immunohistochemical staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), electron microscopic observation of ultrastructure, and apoptosis of tumor cells using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL).
RESULTSTyroservatide significantly inhibited the growth of human hepatocarcinoma in nude mice, with an inhibiting rate more than 60%. But the mixture of amino acid did not show a significant inhibitory effect on the tumor growth. Tyroservatide also induced apoptosis of tumor cells and decreased the expression of PCNA in tumor cells.
CONCLUSIONTyroservatide may significantly inhibit the growth of human hepatocarcinoma in nude mice by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation of tumor cells.

OBJECTIVETo observe the microstructure of the cell membrane of epileptic neurons using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
METHODSModel of epileptic neurons was established by subjecting the neurons culture for 14 days in vitro to magnesium-free media treatment for 3 h. Patch clamp technique was applied to record the electrophysiological activity of the epileptic neurons. AFM was performed to observe and measure the microstructure of the cell membrane of the epileptic neuron.
RESULTSAfter a 3-hour treatment with magnesium-free media, the epileptic neurons displayed sustained epileptiform discharge, which continued after the neurons were returned to normal medium culture on day 14. Under AFM scanning size of 80 microm x 80 microm and 2 microm x 2 microm, no obvious difference in the morphology of the cell membrane was noted between epileptic and normal neurons; under the scanning size of 500 nm x 500 nm, small pits occurred in the cell membrane in both groups, but no significant difference was found in the dimension of the pits between the two groups (the diameter and depth of the pits was 114.86-/+9.33 nm and 5.71-/+0.69 nm in epileptic neurons, and 116.4-/+9.13 nm and 5.69-/+0.71 nm in the control neurons, respectively, P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONAFM provides a new method for observing neuronal membrane microstructure at nanometer resolutions. No significant alterations occur in the membrane of the neurons after a 3-hour magnesium-free media treatment.
