ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of using the ratio of (Cho + Cr)/Cit derived by MRS to predict the differentiation grades of prostatic cancer and Gleason grading.Methods Five postoperative prostate specimens were spitted and layered according to the region of interest of MRS inspections.The correlation between the CC/C values of each region of interest in each layer and the Gleason scores of the corresponding pathological sections was analyzed.The optimum diagnostic cutoff value was determined by conducting the hypothesis test of the area below the ROC curve of the well and moderately differentiated groups and poorly differentiated ones on the basis of CC/C values with a Spearman test.Results A total of 90 regions with valid pathologic diagnosis were obtained,70 cancer-affected and 20 cancer-free.In MRS,a CC/C value above 0.86 was used as a criterion for defining a cancer-affected region As a result,65 cancer-affected regions and 25 cancer-free regions were identified,among which pathologic diagnosis confirmed 59 and 14,respectively.Spearman′s rank correlation analysis revealed that the CC/C values of the prostatic carcinoma had significant positive correlation with Gleason scores ( r =0.746,P =0.000).For the well and moderately differentiated groups,the hypothesis test about the cutoff value,which was obtained by calculating the area below the ROC curve,was of no statistical significance.For the poorly differentiated groups,the optimum cutoff value was defined as 0.948,and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.4% and 75.0%,respectively.It was also observed that the Gleason scores of the poorly differentiated endemic regions had positive correlation with the CC/C values ( r =0.605,P =0.000 ),suggesting that CC/C value was associated with the differentiation grade of the poorly differentiated prostatic cancer.When CC/C value was above 0.948,the poorly differentiated prostatic cancer was typically detected and Gleason score was often above 7.Conclusions CC/C values has positive correlation with Gleason scores.MRS may be used to predict the differentiation of prostate cancer.

Aims To establish a UPLC-MS/MS meth-od for the determination of plasma concentration of scutellarein and its metabolite and to study their phar-macokinetics in rat plasma. Methods The analysis was achieved by BEH C18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0 . 1 % formic acid in acetonitrile and 0 . 1% aqueous formic acid using step gradient elution. A TQD tandem mass spectrometry equipped with electros-pray ionization source was used as detector and opera-ted by multiple reaction monitoring( MRM) positive ion mode. After intravenous injection of scutellarein, the concentrations of scutellarein and its major metabolite glucuronide scutellarin in rat plasma were determined at different time points. The pharmacokinetic parame-ters were calculated by DAS 2. 0 software. Results Good linearity was achieved for scutellarein, the ex-traction recovery was between 80 . 5 % to 90 . 5 %, the precisions and accuracy were good. The result showed the pharmacokinetic profiles of scutellarein and glucu-ronide scutellarin both fit to the two-compartment mod-el. Conclusion The above mentioned method is spe-cific, rapid, sensitive and suitable for the pharmacoki-netic studies of scutellarein and its metabolite.

ObjectiveTo study effect of Herba Erigerontis on metabolites in cerebral ischemia rats with high-resolution magic angle spinning 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(HR MAS 1H NMR). Methods18 male Wistar rats, weighing 150~200 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups such as normal (n=6), ischemia (n=6), Herba Erigerontis treatment (n=6). Rat ischemia model was established with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), reperfusing or dosed with Herba Erigerontis after 3 h ischemia. The metabolites, including N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cre), choline (Cho), glutamate (Glu), and aspartate (Asp) etc., of cerebra and cerebella was observed using HR MAS 1H NMR. ResultsExcluding Cho, Glu, Asp, the concentrations of most metabolites of rat brain during ischemia were significantly lower than that of normal rats, and could be increased after drug treatment. ConclusionHerba Erigerontis shows positive effect on metabolites in cerebral ischemia rats.

Objective To observe therapeutic benefits of intravenously transplanted hone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) on alcohol-associated dementia (AAD) rat model and study its underlying mechanisms.Methods BMMSCs were isolated by the method of differential adhesion and membrane antigens were detected with flowcytometric analysis.To establish AAD model,SD rats were intragastricly administrated with ethanol (20%,8ml/kg) for 28 days.Then BMMSCs were labeled with DAPI and injected into the blood via caudal vein.And animals were evaluated by observing Morris Maze behavior,hippocampal morphology and neuronal apoptosis.The expression of BDNF was detected by the method of immunohistochemistry.And the activities of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in rat blood serum were also measured.Results The results of flowcytometry analysis indicated BMMSCs were CD29,CD90-positive,and CD45,CD34-negative.And the cells labeled with DAPI were observed in rat hippocampus 3 days after intravenous injection.Compared with PBS group,the escape latency of rats in BMMSC group was apparently shortened((10.17 ±0.71)s vs.(4.71 ± 0.34)s,P <0.01).And the morphological structure was repaired and neuronal apoptosis was reduced in rat hippocampus after BMMSC transplanting((72.67 ± 2.73) vs.(55.5 ± 5.14),P<0.05).Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of BDNF was significantly increased in the hippocampus of rats in BMMSC group ((71.54 ± 13.71) vs.(135.25 ± 22.20),P <0.05).Also,the activity of GSH-Px was apparently improved in the blood serum of rats treated with BMMSC transplanting ((526.89 ± 62.73) vs.(2592.75 ±243.73),P <0.01),but no change for that of T-SOD.Conclusion The results provide a novel therapeutic strategy for improving learning and memory function and reducing hippocampal damage induced by ethanol administration,which is closely related to enhance BDNF expression in the hippocampus and improve the activity of antioxidants.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of esophageal intraluminal stents with 125I seeds based on survival time and quality of life (QOL) of patients with advanced esophageal cancer.Methods A total of 37 patients with advanced esophageal cancer who underwent placement of esophageal 125I irradiation stent were followed up.The QOL was evaluated by QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OES18 questionnaires before the procedure, and 1 week and 3 months after.Results The mean survival time of 37 patients was 28 weeks, with 3-month and 6-month survival rates at 94.6% (35/37) and 51.4% (19/37), respectively.Compared with the baseline, the scores of emotional functioning(EF), cognitive functioning(CF),global quality of life(QL), fatigue(FA), pain(PA), financial difficulties(FI) and pain of QLQ-OES18(OESPA) assessed 1 week after stent placement increased (P<0.05) significantly and dysphapia of QLQ-OES18(OESDYS), eating of QLQ-OES18(OESEAT), trouble swallowing saliva of QLQ-OES18(OESSV) and choked when swallowing of QLQ-OES18(OESCH) decreased significantly (P<0.05).At 3 months after stent placement, the scores of FI increased significantly (P<0.05), and those of nausea or vomiting (NV), OESDYS,OESEAT, OESSV and OESCH decreased significantly (P<0.05).The scores of FI,OESDYS, OESCH, role functioning(RF), EF,CF,FA and OESPA at 3 months were significantly different from those at 1 week after the procedure (P<0.05).Other variables at 1 week and 3 months after the procedure were not different from those before (P>0.05).Conclusion Implantation of 125I seeds combined with esophageal intraluminal stents may prolong survival time and improve QOL of patients with advanced esophageal cancer.
