The paper is to report the study of pharmacokinetics of transdermal administered nicotine in the brain of freely moving rat by using microdialysis with stable labeled isotope as internal standard. The pharmacokinetic behavior of nicotine in Sprague Dawley rat brain was investigated after intranasal administration (3.75 mg). Brain fluid samples were collected by intracerebral microdialysis with DL-nicotine as internal standard. Concentrations of nicotine and DL-nicotine in the sample were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed by Das 2.0 pharmacokinetic software. The recovery of nicotine and the delivery of DL-nicotine were the same. The fate of absorption and distribution was two compartment model and the values of t1/2alpha was 170.31 min, t1/2beta was 263.30 min and the AUC(0-infinity) was 2.75 x 10(5) microg x L(-1) min separately. DL-nicotine can be used to calibrate the recovery of nicotine, and the new method of stable isotope microdialysis can be used to study the pharmacokinetics of freely moving rat. It will make sense for the treatment of addiction of tobacco and provide a new thought for the research of pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamic combination.

Objective:To explore and compare the value of radiomic features based on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and CT in distinguishing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:Pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT images and EGFR gene status of 114 patients (64 males and 50 females, aged range: 35-84 (average age: 61) years) with primary lung adenocarcinoma between January 2017 and December 2017 were retrospectively collected. The volume of interest was drawn manually slice by slice, then the features were extracted by the LIFEx software. The parameters were screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method for 200 times, and ten-fold cross-validation was used to select the best tuning parameter λ. Three models, namely M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT, were constructed by binary logistic stepwise regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. The AUCs of three models were compared by Delong test. Results:Totally, 53.51%(61/114) patients were with wild type EGFR and 46.49%(53/114) patients had EGFR mutation. There were 3, 3, 7 parameters selected to form M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT, respectively. The AUCs for M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT were 0.730, 0.752 and 0.866 respectively. When the cut-off values were 0.427, 0.522, 0.378 for M PET, M CT and M PET+ CT, the Youden index were up to the maximum as 0.420, 0.405, 0.630, with sensitivities of 83.0%(44/53), 58.5%(31/53), 92.5%(49/53), specificities of 59.0%(36/61), 82.0%(50/61), 70.5%(43/61) and accuracies of 70.2%(80/114), 71.1%(81/114), 80.7%(92/114), respectively. There was no significant difference between AUC of M PET and M CT ( z=-0.320, P>0.05). The differences of AUCs between M PET+ CT and M PET, M PET+ CT and M CT were statistically significant ( z values: 2.963, 2.523, both P<0.05). Conclusions:PET, CT and PET+ CT radiomic features are all associated with EGFR gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma. M PET+ CT has the highest predictive efficiency.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) with three frequencies (100 Hz, 2 Hz, and 2 Hz/100 Hz) on the apoptosis of neurons and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in the hippocampus of rats with vascular dementia (VD), and explore the mechanism of EA intervention for VD. Methods: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a model group, a sham operation group, a 100 Hz EA group, a 2 Hz EA group, and a 2 Hz/100 Hz EA group, with ten rats in each group. The VD model rats were established by repeated ischemia-reperfusion of bilateral common carotid arteries. The rats in the EA groups received EA intervention at Baihui (GV20), Dazhui (GV14), Geshu (BL17) and Zusanli (ST36), once a day for 14 d. Afterward, Morris water maze was used to examine the learning and memory performances of the rats in each group, hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe the histomorphological changes in the hippocampal CA1 region, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling to test the apoptosis of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region, and Western blot to detect the protein expression levels of JNK, phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK), Caspase-8, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus tissue. Results: Compared with the sham operation group, the escape latency of the model group in water maze test was prolonged; the number of crossing the original platform was decreased (P<0.01); the hippocampal neurons were severely damaged and the number of surviving neurons was decreased (P<0.01), whereas the number of apoptotic neurons was increased (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of JNK, p-JNK, Caspase-8, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the escape latency of each EA group was significantly shortened; the number of crossing the original platform was significantly increased (P<0.01); the damage of hippocampal neurons was alleviated, the number of surviving neurons was increased (P<0.01), and the number of apoptotic neurons was decreased (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of JNK, p-JNK, Caspase-8, and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus were decreased (P<0.01). The results in the 2 Hz EA group and the 2 Hz/100 Hz EA group were superior to those in the 100 Hz EA group. Conclusion: EA with the three frequencies (100 Hz, 2 Hz, and 2 Hz/100 Hz) can improve the learning and memory performances in VD rats subjected to ischemia-reperfusion, its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of neuronal apoptosis and the regulation of the related protein expression of JNK signaling pathway, and the intervention effects of EA with 2 Hz and 2 Hz/100 Hz are more significant.

Open surgery is currently the gold standard for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm(TAAA), while endovascular aortic repair(EVAR) has also been widely carried out. Because it involves important branches supplying internal organs, the technical system for treating TAAA is particularly complex. However, with the advent of newer, low-cost, flexible stent systems, total endovascular repair techniques have become more feasible and attractive. For young and low-risk patients, the choice of open or endovascular treatment remains controversial. Despite the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure, EVAR carries a greater risk of spinal cord injury and may require secondary endovascular intervention to repair endoleak when its unique complication occurs, and the long-term durability after EVAR is not clear. This article reviews the open and endovascular treatment of TAAA, introduces the development of open surgery and endovascular repair, the advantages and disadvantages of various types of stents, and discusses how to select a more suitable surgical method for patients, providing clinicians with a treatment reference.

With the continuous in-depth study of minimally invasive cardiac surgery(MICS), minimally invasive cardiac surgery in children has also been developed in this period, but there is still a certain gap compared with adults. Because of the large difference in body size and the low tolerance of surgery in children, minimally invasive cardiac surgery in children still has a short board on complex cardiac diseases. This article reviews several commonly used minimally invasive techniques: (1) small incision cardiac surgery; (2) thoracoscopic and robot-assisted cardiac surgery; (3) minimally invasive cardiopulmonary bypass(MiECC) and cardiac surgery to avoid cardiopulmonary bypass; (4) hybrid surgery and enhanced cardiac rehabilitation surgery(ERACS) in pediatric cardiac surgery and their application and research progress.
