Objective To label human VEGF targeted bevacizumab (avastin) with 111In and to evaluate the application of 111 In?DTPA?avastin SPECT imaging for tumor diagnosis. Methods DTPA?avastin was prepared by coupling with a bifunctional chelating agent, and then labeled with 111 In to obtain 111 In?DTPA?avastin. The stability and molecular integrity of the labeled radiotracer were studied. Human hepatoma cell ( BEL7404) bearing nude mice tumor model was employed for tumor targeting evaluation. Gamma imaging was acquired after intravenous injection of 18.5 MBq probe. At the end of the observation, animals were sac?rificed for bio?distribution study. Results 111 In?DTPA?avastin tracer was synthesized and purified to a?chieve a radiochemical purity yield above 98% and specific activity up to 185 GBq/nmol. Its stability in 5%BSA was optimal, and the radiochemical purity after incubation for 96 h was over 90%. Gamma imaging re?sults showed that the tracer possessed definite tumor targeting property. Its biodistribution was consistent with that of normal in vivo antibody metabolism while possessing a good tumor?targeting property with a relatively high uptake of (3.8±0.8) %ID/g in tumor tissues 96 h after injection. Conclusions 111 In?DTPA?avastin tracer has good physicochemical properties, in vivo stability and good VEGF targeted binding. 111 In?DTPA?avastin has potential to be a new molecular probe for SPECT imaging.

BackgroundOsteopontin is highly expressed in many metastatic tumors,but its expression in uveal melanoma and the relationship of osteopontin with metastasis is still under investigation.Objective This study was to investigate the relationship between osteopontin expression and uveal melanoma metastatic potential.Methods Fifty samples of uveal melanoma were collected in Beijing Tongren Hospital.The expressions of osteopontin in the samples were detected using immunohistochemistry,and expressions of osteopontin mRNA in different metastatic potential uveal melanoma cell lines (MU M-2B,C918,OCM-1A) were analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR).ResultsOsteopontin was positively expressed in 10 samples of 13 patients with metastasis and 14 samples of 37 patients without metastasis,showing a significant difference between them (x2=5.888,P=0.000).There were 11 samples and 13 samples exhibiting the positive expression of osteopontin in 15 epithelial type and 35 non-epithelial type of uveal melanoma respectively with the significant difference (x2=5.510,P =0.000).The positive expressing numbers of osteopontin were 20 tumors of 30 affected tumors and 4 tumors of 20unaffected ciliary tumors with the significant difference (x2 =10.470,P =0.000 ).No significant differences in the expression of osteopontige were found between different gender,age,eyes,largest basal diameters and invasion of scleral canal( P =0.536,0.256,0.802,0.848,0.555 ).The relative expression value of osteopontin mRNA was in turn 1.00±0.04,0.91 ±0.03,0.08±0.01 in MUM-2B,C918,OCM-1A with the significant difference among three cell lines( F=33.135,P＜0.05).The osteopontige mRNA expression was significant enhanced in high metastatic potentialcell lines( MUM-2B,C918 ) compared with low metastatic potential cell lines( OCM-1 A) (P＜0.05 ),but no significant difference was seen between two high metastatic potential cell lines(MUM-2B,C918) (P=0.804).Conclusions Osteopontige expression is associated with the uveal melanoma cell line invasion and metastasis potential.These results imply that osteopontige expression maybe an indicator of uveal melanoma invasion and metastasis ability.

Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp)and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in the cerebral cortex of rat with chronic fluorosis,and to reveal the mechanisms of damaged nervous system resulted from the toxicity of fluoride.Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups.The rats in each group were given drinking water containing different levels of fluoride:control group less than 0.5 mg/L,small amount of fluoride exposure group 10.0 mg/L and large amount of fluoride exposure group 50.0 mg/L.The animals were examined at the sixth month after initiating the experiment.Protein levels of P-gp and NF-κB in brain tissues were detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting,and the P-gp protein and mRNA level by quantitative real time PCR method.Results As compared to the control group(28.21 ±6.13),the numbers of positive staining cells by P-gp antibody in the cortex of rat brains were significantly increased in both the small and the large amount of fluoride exposure groups[(48.46 ± 8.00),(53.72 ± 9.15),respectively,all P ＜ 0.05] ; the protein levels in the control group(100.00 ± 3.86)％ detected by Western blotting were significantly increased in the cortex of rat brains treated with fluoride in both the small and the large amount of fluoride exposure groups[(189.47 ± 3.14)％,(191.36 ± 11.09)％,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05].The significantly increased expression of NF-κB at the protein level was observed in the cortex of rat brains of the small and the large amount of fluoride exposure groups[(365.97 ± 6.04)％ and (417.15 ± 10.89)％,respectively] as compared with the control group[(100.00 ± 10.07)％,all P ＜ 0.05].The mRMA level of P-gp in the cortex of rat brains of the small and the large amount of fluoride exposure groups(2396 ± 427,3479 ± 371,respectively) were higher than that of the control group(260 ± 106,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The increased expressions of P-gp and NF-κB in the cortex of rat brains are induced by chronic fluorosis,which might be connected with the mechanism of brain damages.

Objective To investigate the changes of reactive oxygen species(ROS) level and mitochondria fission-fusion-balance in cortical neurons of rats with chronic fluorosis and reveal the correlation between these two factors. Methods One hundred and twenty rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(control group, low-dose fluorosis group, high-dose fluorosis group) and 40 rats were in each group according to body weight and the experiments were carried out for 3 months or 6 months. The rats were fed with different concentrations of fluoride (NaF) to establish fluorosis models. Controls were fed with tap water( < 0.5 mg/L), experimental animals in low- or high-dose group were fed with water containing NaF 10.0,50.0 mg/L, respectively. The level of ROS and the morphology in mitochondria fission-fusion balance in neurons of the cortex of rat brains prepared with cortical frozen sections were detected with ROS fluorescent probe and MitoTracker RED probe, respectively. Results Significant differences of the level of ROS and the numbers of abnormal mitochondria in morphology in the cortical neurons were found between 3 groups at the experiment period of 3 month and 6 month(F= 3.07,3.06,3.05,3.07, all P < 0.05). As compared with control group(10.43 ± 5.98,4.12 ± 3.86) at the experiment period of 3 month, the level of ROS and the numbers of abnormal mitochondria in morphology in the cortical neurons were obviously increased in high-dose fluorosis group(25.48 ± 6.09,20.47 ± 6.09, all P < 0.05), whereas no significant changes were found in low-dose fluorosis group(11.67 ± 3.49,6.68 ± 3.48, all P> 0.05). Furthermore, the increases in both ROS level and abnormal numbers of mitochondria were significant observed in the cortical neurons of low-dose fluorosis group (63.02 ± 8.15, 49.33 ± 8.61) and high-dose fluorosis group(65.60 ± 7.40,53.10 ± 6.95) as compared with the control group (25.26 ± 6.41,20.26 ± 6.41) at the experimental period of 6 month (all P < 0.05). The abnormal numbers of mitochondria correlated with ROS level(r = 0.93,0.81, all P < 0.05). Conclusions Taking excessive amount of fluoride results in high level of oxidative stress and impaired the balance of mitochondrial fission-fusion,which is dependent on the feeding times and doses of fluoride. The mechanism of the mitochondrial abnormalities might be associated with the high level of oxidative stress induced by chronic fluorosis.

The diagnosis and treatment of the lacrimal passage obstruction with lacrimal endoscope was investigated and its subsidiary surgical procedures were evaluated. Ninety-three patients (109 eyes) with lacrimal passage obstruction, including presaccal canalicular obstruction (PSCO) and nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO), were examined under a lacrimal endoscope, and the obstructions were treated with laser or micro-drill. All patients were followed up after the operation for 3-6 months. The difference between the laser and the micro-drill treatment was observed. During the period of follow-up, the curative rate was 82.57%. The healing rate in PSCO group and NLDO was 80.36% and 84.91% respectively (P>0.05). After treatment with the laser, the healing rate was 93.33% in the PSCO group and 66.67% in the NLDO group respectively (P<0.05). After treatment with the micro-drill, the healing rate in PSCO and NLDO groups was 65.39% and 94.28% respectively (P<0.01). The lacrimal passage obstruction can be observed and treated directly through the lacrimal endoscope. Choosing different surgical procedures in operation according to the locations of the obstruction is helpful to improve the effectiveness.
