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.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation between human erythrocyte membrane phospholipid profile and insulin sensitivity in elderly diabetic patients. MethodsThe levels of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine(PS),phosphatidtlinostiol(PI),phosphatidylethanolamine(PE),the maximum erythrocyte deformation index(DImax) , the maximum erythrocyte aggregation index(AImax) and glucose disposal contant Ki (KITT) were measured in 32 cases of elderly diabetics and 30 healthy old subjects. ResultsThe KITT was lower in diabetic patients than in normal controls (P

Objective To determine the prognostic factors after radical resection (RR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Altogether 144 patients who had undergone RR for HCC from 1988 through 1995 were included for a univariate and a Cox multivariate analysis.Nineteen factors contributing to overall survival rate (SR) and disease-free SR were analysed.Results The 5-year SR and disease-free SR (N=144) were 47.3% and 23.9%,separately.Multivariate analysis revealed that classification of RR was the signficant factor to overall SR,and presence of vessel invasion was the signficant factor to disease-free SR.The 5-year SR and disease-free SR in the patholngically RR and clinically RR groups were 60.2%,29.0% and 14.0%,0%,respectively.The 5-year disease-free SR in the group without (or with) vessel invasion was 27.8% (or 0%).Conclusions The classification of RR is the determinative prngnostie factor.Pathologically RR is the first option for patients with in- dications.It is essential to improve adjuvant therapy to decrease postoperative recurrence and metastasis rates.

Objective: To investigate the expression of EMS1 in laryngeal carcinoma and its clinical signifi-cance. Method:The expression of EMS1 protein was measured in 40 samples of, 40 samples of para carcinoma tis-sues (which were near to cutting margin of laryngeal carcinoma tissuse over 0. 5 cm) ,and 20 samples of normal la-ryngeal mucosa as controls by Flow Cytometere( Epics-XL Ⅱ ). Results:The quantity and percentage of EMS1 pro-tein expression in laryngeal carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than those in para carcinoma and in normal laryngeal mucosa tissues respectively(P<0. 05). There was no significant expression difference between the para carcinoma tissues and normal laryngeal mucosa tissues. There were positive correlation between the expressions of EMS1 protein and metastasis, pathological grade and clinical stage in laryngeal carcinoma. But there were not rela-tionship with patients' clinical classification, tumor size, smoking history, age and sex. Conclusion: The high ex-pression of EMS1 may contribute to the carcinogenesis and development of laryngeal carcinoma. The expression of EMS1 protein is an important index of judging differentiation, infiltration, metastasis and staging of laryngeal car-cinoma.

Effect of ginsenoside total saponin (GTS) on the regulation of P450 of livers of rats after γ-ray irradiation was studied. Rats were irradiated by the ⁶⁰Coγ-ray for one-time dose of 5.5 Gy, dose rate of 117.1-119.2 cGy. The cocktail probe, qPCR and Western blot were used to detect expression of enzymatic activites, mRNA and protein of rats. Contrasted with blank group, expression of CYP1A2, 2B1, 2E1, 3A4 of irradiation group showed a up-regulated (P < 0.05). Contrasted with irradiation group, exprression of CYP1A2, 2B1, 2E1, 3A4 of GTS group showed a downward trend. GTS had negative agonistic action against expression of P450 of rats by irradiatied.

Objective To compare the effect of TNF-α preconditioning and ischemic preconditioning on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury ( IRI) and investigate the underlying mechanisms of TNF-αpreconditioning. Methods Fourty healthy male Wistar rats were random-ly divided into four groups which were Sham-operated group ( SO) ,ischemia-reperfusion group ( IR group:produced by total inflow occlusion for 30 min) ,ischemic preconditioning group ( IPC group:induce with 10 min hepatic ischemic and open 10 min before IR) and TNF-αpre-conditioning group ( TPC group:intraperitoneal injection with 1 μg/kg TNF-a 30 min prior to IR) . The sample of blood and hepatic tissue of all groups were taken after experiment. The protein levels of NF-κBp65 and Bcl-2 in the hepatic tissue were detected by immunohistochemis-try. Results There was significant difference (P<0. 05) between IR group and IPC group,TPC group on the level of ALT,AST and the expression of NF-κBp65 and Bcl-2,apoptosis index in hepatic tissue. There was no significance difference (P>0. 05) between IPC group and TPC group. Conclusion TNF-α preconditioning decreased the intensity of hepatic IRI,just as ischemic preconditioning,by induces an de-crease in the NF-κBp65 expression and an increase in the Bcl-2 expression.

Objective To study the biochemical alterations in rat brain under chronic cerebral ischemia by means of 1H and 31 P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) Methods Chronic cerebral ischemia was induced by permanent bilateral commom carotid artery occlusion (2 VO)in the regions of the hippocampal CA1 area and the whole brain. Results In vivo 1H MRS did not reveal any significant change in the concentrations of N acetyl aspartate (NAA) and Lactate (Lac) in the hippocampal CA1 region 31 P MRS in the whole brain showed an elevation of phosphomonoesters (PME). The ratio of PME/(PME+PDE) was 0 54?0 03 in sham group and 0 69?0 02 in 2 VO group ( P
