Objective To explore the contents and clinical significance of soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 ( sICAM-1 ) in patients with single goitre,Graves'and Hashimoto disease. Methods The contents of sICAM-1 in 100 cases of simple goiter group, Graves disease (GD) group 250 cases, Hashimot group 50 cases and 100 normal control were examined by sICAM-1 Radioimmunoassay(RIA) method,and the results were analyzed. Results There were no significant difference of sICAM-1 contents between ( 170.43 ± 34. 23 ) μg/L in normal control group and ( 182.48 ± 40.05) μg/L in simple goiter group( t = 1. 104, P > 0. 05 ); The contents of slCAM-1 in GD group and HT group [( 279.93 ± 86.69) μg/L、 (250.36 ± 81.56) μg/L] were higher than the control group( t = 2.310,2. 210, all P <0. 05) ;The sICAM-1 contents in 3 species.methods after treatment [( 178.95 ±59.78) μg/L, ( 185.65 ±53.25)μg/L, (259.41 ± 71.46) μg/L)] were significantly lower than before treatment [(316.53 ± 66.13) μg/L, (277.79±64.30)μg/L,(285.71 ±72.14)μg/L](t=2.312,2.278,2.328,all P <0.05);After the Graves'patients were treated and their thyroid function were normal,their serum sICAM-1 levels( 251.92 ± 77.75 )μg/L were lower than that( 329.34 ± 90.47 ) μg/L in relapse Graves'group( t= 2.412 ,P < 0. 05). Conclusion sICAM-1 RIA can be used as a parameter in diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases and in evaluating effects of therapy,stopping medicine or the relapse of Graves' disease.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum adiponectin level and inflammatory factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods In our hospital out-patient and patients with T2DM were divided into combined macrovascular T2DM group(A group) 53 cases;T2DM without macroangi-opathy group(Bgroup) 47 cases;30 cases of healthy people as control group.The contents of insulin,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAIc),blood lipids,free fatty acids(FFA),C-reactive protein(CRP),adiponectin(APN),leptin and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α),insulin sensitivity index(ISI) and insulin resistance index(IR) were detected.Results ISI,IR,FFA,CRP,APN,Leptin,TNF-α levels were higher(P<0.05);anti-inflammatory treatment was significantly decreased(all P<0.05);APN level and HbAlc,HOMA-IR,CRP,TNF-α was significantly negatively correlated(P<0.05).Conclusion APN is a T2DM and atheroscherosis protection factor,anti-inflammatory treatment may improve the prognosis of T2DM.

Objective To investigate the quality control and quality assurance of the SPECT/CT system.Methods The energy peak,energy resolution capacity and the intrinsic uniformity of the device's detector were regularly examined, and the quality control was performed. Results The daily hardware maintain could reduce the rate of system's trouble. The device's energy peak,energy resolution capacity were consistent during half year's observation period. The two detector's intrinsic uniformity were better after calibration than before. [ detector Ⅰ: ( 2.71 ± 0.28 ) vs (2.37±0.11)(t=2.489,P<0. 05);detector Ⅱ:(2.68 ±0.12)vs(2.38 ±0. 19)(t =6.421,P <0.01) ] .Conclusion Regular quality control and maintain could keep the function stabilization,enhance the availability rate of the SPECT/CT system.

Objective To investigate the frequency of lesions detection in patients with cerebral infarction (CI) with SPECT/CT. To investigate fluctuation of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and its relationship with clinical symptoms. Methods Sixty-seven CI patients without cerebellar lesion were randomly selected. The rCBF in the regions of interest (ROI) was examined by SPECT/CT, which was collected from the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, thalamus, basal ganglia and cerebellum. The rCBF index was calculated. The association between fluctuation of rCBF index and clinical symptoms of patients was explored. Results There were 251 positive regions in all viewing regions , the total positive rate was 31.2%. The left side was 38.1%, while the right side was 24.4% (χ2=17.522,P < 0.01). In normal group, there were no statistical difference of average rCBF between two halves (P > 0.05). However, the average rCBF on the left parietal lobe was lower (P < 0.01). The average rCBF in the abnormal group was lower than that in ipsilateral normal group (P < 0.01). The average rCBF index in the abnormal group was higher (P < 0.01). In normal group , the average rCBF on the frontal lobe and parietal lobe was low , but the average rCBF on the thalamus and basal ganglia was high (P < 0.01). In abnormal group, there were no statistical difference in the average rCBF (P >0.05). rCBF≥0.7 is a clinical sign of abnormal ROI. Conclusion 30% of ROI of CI patients have lesions and the positive rate of the left side was higher. The biological rCBF values of all lobes were different. Therefore, rCBF index could be used to reflect whether the ROI is normal. rCBF≥0.7 could be used as a sign to quantitatively assess abnormal ROI in clinical practice.
