OBJECTIVE To evaluate the bioequivalence of a single oral administration of two palbociclib preparations in healthy subjects under fasting and fed conditions. METHODS Twenty-four healthy subjects (fasting test) and twenty healthy subjects (fed test) were enrolled and divided into two groups. A single-center, open-label, single-dose, two-formulation, two- period, two-sequence and crossover trial was designed. The subjects in the two groups were given the test preparation (domestic Palbociclib capsules) or the reference preparation (original Palbociclib capsules) orally under fasting or fed conditions respectively followed by a 14-day washout period. The blood samples were collected at different time points before and after treatment. After pretreatment, the mass concentration of palbociclib in vivo was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with palbociclib-d8 as the internal standard. SAS V9.4 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the bioequivalence. RESULTS Under fasting condition, the cmax of the test preparation and the reference preparation were (71.4±18.1) and (73.8±19.0) ng/mL; AUC0-t were (1 754±412) and (1 793±448) h·ng/mL; AUC0-∞ were (1 851±456) and (1 887±478) h·ng/mL, respectively. Under fed condition, the cmax of the test preparation and the reference preparation were (78.4±18.3) and (81.9±21.7) ng/mL; AUC0-t were (1 905±375) and (1 932±318) h·ng/mL; AUC0-∞ were (2 027±411) and (2 050±342) h·ng/mL, respectively. The 90%CI of the geometric mean ratio of the above parameters was within the acceptable range (80.00%-125.00%). Under fasting and fed conditions, there were 20 and 16 adverse events in 9 and 8 subjects, respectively, but no serious adverse event was observed. CONCLUSIONS Under the fasting and fed conditions, the test preparation and the reference preparation of Pibociclib capsules are bioequivalent and have comparable safety.

Objective:To evaluate the image quality of prostate T 2WI reconstructed based on deep learning (deep learning T 2WI) and the diagnostic performance for prostate cancer (PCa) in the transition zone. Methods:Totally 79 patients who underwent prostate MRI for elevated prostate specific antigen from December 2020 to September 2022 were prospectively consecutively collected from Beijing Hospital. Scan sequences included axial standard T 2WI, deep learning T 2WI, and diffusion-weighted imaging. The scan time was recorded. The image quality was scored subjectively including image quality, diagnostic confidence, noise level, artifacts, clarity and lesion detectability. For objective evaluation of image quality, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast signal-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated. Two-parameter MRI prostate imaging reporting and data system version 2.1 (PI-RADS v2.1) scoring was performed for transition zone lesions using deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI, respectively. The subjective and objective image quality evaluation metrics for deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. For transition zone lesions, the diagnostic performance of PI-RADS scores with deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI for PCa was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve based on the lesion (all lesions in the transition zone) and the patient (the most malignant lesions in the transition zone), respectively, using the pathologic results as the gold standard. The area under the curve (AUC) was compared using the DeLong test. Results:Deep learning T 2WI significantly reduced the examination time by 64.6.%, from 4 min 37 s to 1 min 38 s. The scores of subjective image quality of deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI all were 5 (4, 5). The differences in image quality and lesion detectability were statistically significant ( Z=-2.32, -2.36, P=0.020, 0.018), and the differences of all other image quality evaluation metrics were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The SNR of deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI were 17.11 (14.09, 21.92) and 9.15 (7.16, 11.17), with a statistically significant difference ( Z=-7.72, P<0.001). The CNR of deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI were 20.78 (13.42, 31.42) and 11.05 (7.82, 16.25), with a statistically significant difference ( Z=-7.54, P<0.001). Based on the lesion (40 PCa and 48 benign lesions), the AUC of the two-parameter PI-RADS score with deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI for diagnosing PCa in the transition zone were 0.915 (95%CI 0.856-0.975) and 0.916 (95%CI 0.857-0.976), without statistically significant difference ( Z=0.03, P=0.973). Based on the patient (33 PCa and 46 benign patients), the AUC of the two-parameter PI-RADS score with deep learning T 2WI and standard T 2WI were 0.921 (95%CI 0.857-0.984) and 0.939 (95%CI 0.886-0.992), without statistically significant difference ( Z=0.59, P=0.558). Conclusions:Compared with standard T 2WI, deep learning T 2WI of the prostate reduces scanning time while maintaining image quality and has comparable diagnostic performance for PCa in the transition zone.

Objective:To construct the tunnel-type peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization procedure guided by ultrasound and intracavitary electrocardiogram positioning, so as to provide guidance for clinical practice.Methods:From May to July 2021, the first draft of the tunnel-type PICC catheterization procedure guided by ultrasound and intracavitary electrocardiogram positioning was formed through literature review and expert meeting. The convenience sampling method was used to select 18 experts from 8 provinces/municipalities across the country to conduct Delphi expert consultation, solicit expert opinions, and then discuss in groups to determine the final draft of the tunnel-type PICC catheterization procedure. The degree of enthusiasm, authority, and coordination of opinions of experts were expressed by the effective recovery rate of the questionnaire, the ratio of experts who put forward opinions, the expert authority coefficient, Kendall coordination coefficient, and the coefficient of variation.Results:A total of two rounds of expert consultations were carried out. The effective recovery rates of the questionnaires were 90.00% and 100.00%, respectively. The ratio of experts who proposed revisions were 83.33% and 5.56%, respectively, and the expert authority coefficients were both 0.90, Kendall coordination coefficients were from 0.112 to 0.170 ( P<0.05) , and the coefficient of variation was 0 to 0.122. In the second round, the mean score of importance of each level of operation steps was 4.64 to 5.00. The final constructed tunnel-type PICC catheterization procedure guided by ultrasound and intracavitary electrocardiogram positioning includes 4 first-level operation steps, 19 second-level operation steps and 39 third-level operation steps. Conclusions:The tunnel-type PICC catheterization procedure guided by ultrasound and intracavitary electrocardiogram positioning is reliable and of high quality, which has important guiding significance for clinical catheterization practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features,differential diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration (BLL-11q).Methods:The clinical manifestations,histological morphology,immunophenotype and molecular genetic changes of 2 cases of BLL-11q admitted to the department of pathology of The First People's Hospital of Lianyungang in 2020 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively,and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:Patients were found with right neck masses inadvertently and grew rapidly. They presented with localized disease with Ann Arbor stages IA and IIA. Microscopically, the normal structure of the lymph node disappeared and was replaced by a diffuse proliferation of lymphocytes, with consistent morphology and medium size. And the presence of "star-sky" phenomenon was obvious, the morphological characteristics were similar to Burkitt lymphoma. Immunophenotypically, tumor cells were diffusely positive for CD20, CD79α, PAX5, CD10 and Bcl-6, partly moderately positive for C-MYC and MUM-1, however, CD3, Bcl-2, CD30 and TDT were negative,Ki-67 positive index was more than 95%, and EBER was negative. FISH detection showed that MYC, Bcl-2, and Bcl-6 were negative. Both cases had the 11q23.3 gain and 11q24.3 loss. Both patients were treated with chemotherapy and followed up for 10-22 months,and achieved complete remission and disease-free survival.Conclusion:BLL-11q is a rare germinal center B-cell lymphoma with abnormal long arm of chromosome 11 and lack of MYC gene rearrangement. It should be distinguished from Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, B-lymphoblastic lymphoma, large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement and high-grade B-cell lymphoma. On the basis of morphology and immunophenotype, the diagnosis depends on genetic detection. There may be a better prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of the combination of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in identifying the grade group of prostate cancer, using parameters derived from the two imaging modalities. Method:Prostate cancer patients diagnosed by histopathology and received 18F-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI during September 2018 to May 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively studied. The median age was 68(64-75), with the median PSA level of 14.74(7.75-24.19)ng/mL. All patients received mpMRI before biopsy. On biopsy, 6(12.2%) patients had International Society of Urological Pathology grade group(ISUP GG) 1 diseases, 16(32.7%) had ISUP GG 2 diseases, 12(24.5%) had ISUP GG 3 diseases, and 15(10.9%) had ISUP GG 4 or 5 diseases. Patients were then divided into high-grade group (ISUP 4-5) and low-grade group(ISUP 1-3). The median age of patients in high-grade group and low-grade group were 65(62-76) and 71(65-74), respectively. The PSA level in high-grade group and low-grade group were 15.11(6.63-42.86) ng/ml and 12.31(7.94-18.25) ng/ml, respectively. No significant differences were found in age and PSA level between the two groups ( P=0.334, P=0.448). All patients underwent 18F-PSMA PET/CT within 4 weeks after biopsy. The maximum standardized uptake value(SUV max) and the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC min)were recorded, and the ratio of SUV max/ ADC minwere calculated. The correlation between the above parameters and ISUP grade group were analyzed.The diagnostic value of the parameters was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:The data of 49 patients were analyzed. The average ADC minwas (0.57±0.16)×10 -3 mm 2/s, with the average SUV max and SUV max/ADC min of 15.30±12.54 and (29.69±23.72)×10 3, respectively. Statistical differences were found in SUV max ( P=0.012) and SUV max/ADC min ( P=0.002) between the high- and low-grade groups, while ADC min ( P=0.411) showed no statistical differences between the two groups. Significant positive correlations were found between SUV max(r=0.501, P<0.001), SUV max/ADC min (r=0.527, P<0.001) and ISUP grade group, respectively. There was a negative correlation between ADC min and ISUP grade group (r=-0.296, P=0.039). SUV max/ADC min was the best index to distinguish high-grade group from low-grade group prostate cancer with the area under the curve(AUC) of 0.749. In contrast, the AUC of SUV maxand ADC min were 0.731 and 0.615, respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of SUV max/ADC min were 73.3% and 85.3%, respectively, with a critical value of 37.23×10 3. Conclusion:The combination use of 18F-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI could improve the diagnostic efficiency for prostate cancer, compared to either modality alone. The ratio of SUV max/ADC min has a positive correlation with ISUP grade group, and is a promising index for distinguishing the high-grade prostate cancer from low-grade cancer.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and reliability of the frozen section during targeted prostate biopsy.Methods:The clinical and pathological information of patients who received cognitive fusion transperineal targeted plus systematic biopsy and frozen section of 1-2 core targeted biopsy were consecutively collected and retrospectively studied. The median age was 70 (ranging 64-78) years, with the median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 11.00 (ranging 6.63-16.52) ng/ml and the median prostate volume of 35.72 (ranging 22.59-47.71) ml. All patients received bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (bp-MRI) and have Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3 or higher lesions diagnosed on bp-MRI. The suspected lesions would be taken by targeted biopsy of which one or two cores would be sent to prepare for the frozen sections. Then a cognitive fusion targeted and systematic biopsy covering the above targeted zones would be routinely administered under a transperineal approach as a standard protocol. The total time used for diagnosis of the frozen sections, the pathological diagnosis and the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade groups (GG) would be recorded. The sensitivity, the positive predictive value, and the accuracy on grade groups would be analyzed, using the pathological diagnosis based on standard sections from the same targeted lesion.Results:A total of 29 patients were included in this study. Accordingly, 29 suspected lesions were identified on bp-MRI. A total of 20 lesions were finally diagnosed of PCa on frozen section, with the detection rate of 69.0%. Of those, 9(45.0%) cases were ISUP GG 1 diseases, 5(25.0%) cases were GG 2 diseases, 1(5.0%) case was GG 3 disease, and 5(25.0%) cases were GG 4-5 diseases. A total of 22 lesions were diagnosed with PCa on standard sections of cores from the same targeted lesions, with the detection rate of 75.9%. Of those, 6(27.3%) cases were GG 1 disease, 11(50.0%) cases were GG 2 diseases, 1(4.5) case was GG 3 disease, and 4(18.2%) cases were GG 4-5 diseases. The sensitivity and the positive predictive value of frozen section were 90.9% and 100%, respectively. No false positive diagnosis was made by frozen section. Compared to diagnosis from frozen sections, the GG diagnosed from final standard sections were found to upgrade and downgrade in 2 and 2 cases, respectively. The accuracy rate on GG of frozen sections was 80%. The time used for the diagnosis of frozen sections was (11±2) minutes. The histology quality control of four specimens was dissatisfactory. Two were due to tissue loss and deformation during sampling, and the other two were due to cytoclasis during low-temperature transferring.Conclusion:It is feasible and reliable to make a pathological diagnosis from frozen section of prostate targeted biopsy.
