ObjectiveTo summarize the incidence and clinical features of drug hypersensitivity reactions in children treated with sustained-releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists （GnRHa）， aiming to provide guidance for the safe clinical application of GnRHa in children. MethodsThe medical data of children diagnosed with central precocious puberty （CPP） or early and fast puberty （EFP） were retrospectively analyzed， who received GnRHa treatment at the Children's Growth Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 1990 and July 2023. The occurrence of GnRHa-related drug hypersensitivity reactions were summarized， including the incidence and clinical features of systemic reactions and sterile abscesses. ResultsAmong the 1 684 children treated with GnRHa for CPP/EFP， the female-to-male ratio was 3.8∶1. A total of nine children （0.53%） developed 44 occurrences of drug hypersensitivity reactions. Four children （0.24%） presented with sterile abscesses （21 occurrences）， and five children （0.30%） experienced systemic hypersensitivity reactions （14 occurrences）. Four children were hypersensitive to triptorelin acetate， three were hypersensitive to leuprorelin acetate， and two were hypersensitive to both triptorelin acetate and leuprorelin acetate. The predominant hypersensitivity reactions to leuprorelin acetate were sterile abscesses， observed in four cases （4/277， 1.44%）， whereas the main reactions to triptorelin acetate were systemic hypersensitivity reactions， affecting five cases （5/1 501， 0.33%）. Case one presented with a severe and complex condition， exhibiting hypersensitivity to multiple GnRHa preparations （sustained-releasing triptorelin， sustained-releasing leuprorelin， and short-acting triptorelin）， and presenting with diverse manifestations， including induration， sterile abscesses， systemic hypersensitivity reactions， and even loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis， leading to treatment failure. ConclusionsThe proportion of children experiencing drug hypersensitivity reactions to sustained-releasing GnRHa is relatively low at 0.53%， with diverse manifestations. The reactions primarily manifest as sterile abscesses and systemic hypersensitivity reactions， and in severe cases， may lead to treatment failure due to loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Objective:To analyze the status of registration of clinical trials of radiopharmaceuticals in China, and to provide reference for the development and clinical application of radiopharmaceuticals.Methods:By searching the clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the data on clinical trials of radiopharmaceuticals registered from 2014 to 2024 were collected and analyzed for trial design, administered dose, common indications, and geographical distribution.Results:A total of 77 clinical trials were included. The Compound Annual Growth Rate for the number of projects from 2014 to 2024 was 40%. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals were predominantly based on 18F and 99Tc m, while therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals primarily utilized 177Lu and 90Y. All indications were concentrated in the field of oncology. Regarding trial design, non-randomized (71.4%), open-label (89.6%), and single-arm (66.2%) trials accounted for the highest proportions. Geographical distribution showed Beijing (29 trials), Shanghai (18 trials), and Jiangsu province (14 trials) as the regions with the highest concentration of clinical trials. Conclusions:Radiopharmaceutical clinical trials in China have shown rapid growth. However, research remains predominantly focused on oncology, with a relatively high proportion of early-stage trials. In order to fully utilize the potentials of radiopharmaceuticals and improve the quality of clinical trials, nuclear medicine researches should broaden therapeutic applications, implement prudently administerd dose in clinical trials, and implement optimized radiation protection procedures across all clinical trial centers.

Purpose To investigate the cortical thickness features in Parkinson's disease(PD)patients at various stages and their association with dopamine transporter(DAT)levels in the putamen.Materials and Methods We retrospectively enrolled 30 PD patients and 15 healthy subject who underwent 11C-CFT PET and T1 MRI scans at the Department of Nuclear Medicine/PET Center of Huashan Hospital from August 2016 to October 2020.DAT average radioactivity in the anterior and posterior putamen was analysis using SPM12 software,with the occipital lobe as the reference region.Cortical segmentation and reconstruction were performed on T1 images using Freesurfer v7.2.The differences in cortical thinning between the groups were compared using a general linear model.Additionally,the relationship between cortical thickness in various brain regions and DAT uptake in the putamen were assessed.Results Compared to healthy subjects,significant cortical thinning was observed in the left inferior parietal lobule and the right and left inferior middle frontal gyrus of PD patients(all P<0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between the cortical thickness of the left inferior parietal lobule and right inferior middle frontal gyrus and DAT uptake in the corresponding anterior/posterior parts of the putamen(r=0.30-0.47,all P<0.05).Furthermore,the DAT uptake in the right precentral gyrus was positively correlated with the ipsilateral posterior putamen,exhibiting a stronger correlation than on the contralateral side(r=0.32,P=0.029).Conclusion The results show that the thickness of the thinning cortex area in the PD patients correlates significantly positively with DAT levels in the putamen,highlighting the importance of the basal ganglia cortical circuit and providing a basis for further research into the neural mechanisms of PD.

Objective To observe the correlation between cortical thickness and pathological deposition of β-amyloid(Aβ)in patients with Alzheimer disease(AD)induced mild cognitive impairment(MCI)or dementia.Methods Totally 22 AD patients were prospectively enrolled and divided into dementia group(n=12)and MCI group(n=10)based on the degree of cognitive impairment,while 17 healthy individuals without cognitive impairment were recruited as control group.MR examination and 18F-florbutaben(18F-FBB)PET imaging were performed,the cortical thickness and Aβ deposition value(Centiloid[CL]value)were calculated and compared among 3 groups and between each 2 groups,then the correlation between the above two indexes was analyzed.Results The cortical thickness in dementia group,MCI group and control group was(2.18±0.14),(2.35±0.08)and(2.36±0.09)mm,respectively,with significant difference among 3 groups(P＜0.05).The cortical thickness in dementia group was significantly thinner than that in MCI group and control group(both P＜0.05).CL value in dementia group,MCI group and control group was 77.97(63.07,95.55),65.51(54.54,90.50)and-1.17(-9.66,4.88),respectively,with significant difference among 3 groups(P＜0.05).CL value in dementia group and MCI group were significantly higher than in control group(both P＜0.05).The cortical thickness was moderately negatively correlated with CL value in MCI group(r=-0.580,P=0.048)but not in the other 2 groups(both P＞0.05).Conclusion The cortical thickness was moderately negatively correlated with abnormal deposition of Aβ in patients with AD induced MCI,but was not during dementia.

Objective:To investigate the potential value of cerebral glucose metabolism characteristics in anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) antibody-related encephalitic patients during acute phase as the clinical indicator of disease outcomes.Methods:From October 2019 to December 2023, 28 patients (18 males, 10 females; age (56.6±11.9) year) with anti-LGI1 antibody-related encephalitis diagnosed at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were prospectively enrolled. All patients received baseline brain 18F-FDG PET imaging and were divided into different subgroups according to the prognosis (good prognosis and poor prognosis groups) and recurrence (recurrence and non-recurrence groups) after follow-up. The difference of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score between the two groups was compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis was used to analyze the PET images of different groups by independent-sample t test, and the characteristics of cerebral glucose metabolism of patients with different outcomes were obtained. Results:MoCA scores between the recurrence group ( n=6) and the non-recurrence group ( n=22; 14.0(9.8, 20.5) vs 22.0(18.0, 24.0); Z=2.17, P=0.030), and between the poor prognosis group ( n=13) and the good prognosis group ( n=15; 14.0(10.0, 22.0) vs 22.0(19.8, 25.3); Z=2.47, P=0.013) were significantly different. Compared with the good prognosis group, the cerebral glucose metabolism in the poor prognosis group was decreased in the bilateral frontal lobe, lateral temporal lobe, inferior parietal lobule and cingulate gyrus, but increased in the brainstem, bilateral lentiform nucleus and bilateral paracentral lobule/postcentral gyrus (all t=1.71, all P<0.05). Compared with the non-recurrence group, the metabolism of bilateral medial frontal gyrus, anterior cingulate gyrus, bilateral insula, superior temporal gyrus and thalamus decreased in the recurrence group, while the metabolism of bilateral precentral gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus and bilateral lentiform nucleus increased (all t=1.71, all P<0.05). Conclusion:18F-FDG PET imaging reveals the differences in brain metabolism of anti-LGI1 antibody-related encephalitic patients at baseline with different outcomes (prognosis, recurrence or not), which can provide a new perspective for the clinical evaluation of the disease at baseline.

ObjectiveTo sum up the clinical features of 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency （5α-RD2） complicated by central precocious puberty （CPP）， and provide experience for clinicians. MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of child patients with 5α-RD2 followed up to puberty at a single tertiary pediatric center， in whom 6 cases developed CRP. Clinical characteristics and treatment history of them were analyzed. A literature review was also performed to investigate possible mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of 5α-RD2 and CPP. ResultsThe median age at initial presentation was 5.55 years （IQR 3.50-7.20）. Common clinical features included micropenis and hypospadias. Median stretched penile length （SPL） was 2.25 cm （IQR 1.8-2.8）， with an SPL-SDS of -4.5 （IQR -3.1 to -5.8）. Median external masculinization score （EMS） and Prader scores were 8.5 （IQR 5.0-9.0） and 4.5 （IQR 3.0-5.0）， respectively. Pubertal onset occurred at a median age of 8.70 years （IQR 7.80-9.00）. Three patients were overweight or obese. Five had received 2.5% dihydrotestosterone （DHT） gel prior to pubertal onset， with a median cumulative dose of 205.5 mg/kg （IQR 72.0-660.3 mg/kg） with DHT gel therapy. Notably， one patient with normal body mass index （BMI） and no history of androgen or gonadotropin therapy also exhibited early pubertal onset at 8.4 years. ConclusionCPP in children with 5α-RD2 may be associated with prior dihydrotestosterone （DHT） gel therapy and elevated BMI； however， a potential intrinsic link to the underlying disorder cannot be excluded. Further studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms.
