Objective To develop a nomogram model based on the clinical features and the radiomics texture analysis of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),so as to predict the tumor response in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)3 months after receiving transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods A total of 105 patients with advanced HCC,whose diagnosis was pathologically-confirmed at the Suzhou Municipal Ninth People's Hospital between January 2017 and December 2021,were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomly divided into training group(n=63)and verification group(n=42).Before chemotherapy,T1WI,T2WI,dynamic contrast-enhanced(DCE)scan,and diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)were performed by using a 3.0T MRI scanner.A.K.software was used to extract the texture.Three months after chemotherapy,according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(mRECIST)the patients were divided into response group(n=63)and non-response group(n=42).Results Compared with the response group,in the non-response group the percentage of Child-Pugh grade B and BCLC stage C was obviously higher and the serum alpha fetoprotein(AFP)level was remarkably elevated(P＜0.05).A.K.software extracted 396 MRI texture features,and LASSO regression analysis screened out 6 optimal predictors.The radiation score(Rad-score)was calculated by ROC.The AUC of Rad-score for predicting tumor non-response after TACE by ROC in the training group and verification group were 0.842 and 0.803 respectively.Multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that AFP≥50 ng/mL(OR=1.568,95%CI=1.234-1.902,P=0.003),Child-Pugh grade B(OR=1.754,95%CI=1.326-2.021,P=0.001),BCLC stage C(OR=1.847,95%CI=1.412-2.232,P=0.001)and Rad-score(OR=2.023,95%CI=1.569-2.457,P＜0.001)were the independent risk factors for tumor non-response.Clinico-radiomics combination had the highest AUC value for predicting tumor non-response.The correction curve showed that the nomogram model had a good agreement.Conclusion The quantitative score of radiomics texture analysis of multimodal MRI has a certain value in predicting tumor non-response in advanced HCC patients 3 months after TACE,and the nomogram model,which is constructed if combined with clinical factors,carries good practical potential.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:63-68)

Objective To evaluate the mechanism of governor vessel electroacupuncture in rats with post-stroke limb spasm by observing the changes of glutathione antioxidant system-related factors.Methods A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group(n=12),sham operation group(n=12)and modeling group(n=36).The middle cerebral artery obstruction model was prepared by thread approach method in the modeling group,and 24 rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into the model group and the electroacupuncture group,with 12 rats in each group.At the 3rd day after modeling,the electroacupuncture group was treated with electroacupuncture at three acupoints of the governor vessel,namely,"Dazhui"(GV14),"Jizhong"(GV6)and"Houhui"(anteromedial of the transverse process of the sixth lumbar vertebra),for 30 min each time,once a day for 7 days.The neurological function of rats was assessed by Zea Longa neurological deficit score.The muscle tension of rats was detected by modified Ashworth dystonia rating and electrophysiological tracing method.The brain tissue water content was measured by the dry-wet weight method.The volume of cerebral infarction of rats was measured by the TTC staining method.The contents of glutathione(GSH),catalase(CAT),oxidized glutathione(GSSG),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and malondialdehyde(MDA)in the cortex of rats were detected by colorimetry.The protein and mRNA expressions of glutathione reductase(GR),glutamate cysteine ligase(GCL)C,GCLM,and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in the cortex of rats were measured by Western blotting and real-time PCR,respectively.Results Compared with rats in the normal and sham operation groups,the Zea Longa neurological deficit score,modified Ashworth dystonia rating,the volume of cerebral infarction,brain tissue water content,and GSSG and MDA contents in cortex were increased in the model group,the tension signal value and the proteins and mRNA expressions of GR,GCLC,GCLM,and GPX4 in cortex were decreased,and the contents of GSH,CAT,and SOD in cortex were decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the Zea Longa neurological deficit score,modified Ashworth dystonia rating,the volume of cerebral infarction,brain tissue water content,and GSSG and MDA contents in cortex were decreased in the electroacupuncture group,the tension signal value and the proteins and mRNA expressions of GR,GCLC,GCLM,and GPX4 in cortex were increased,and the contents of GSH,CAT,and SOD in cortex were increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Governor vessel electroacupuncture can improve the severity of post-stroke limb spasm in rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of glutathione antioxidant system in cerebral cortex.

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are precursors of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Deregulated cellular energy metabolism is a critical hallmark of cancer cells. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC1α) plays vital role in mitochondrial energy metabolism. However, the molecular mechanism of PGC1α on OPMDs progression is less unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of knockdown PGC1α on human dysplastic oral keratinocytes (DOKs) comprehensively, including cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, xenograft tumor, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes (ETC), reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxygen consumption rate (OCR), extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), and glucose uptake. We found that knockdown PGC1α significantly inhibited the proliferation of DOKs in vitro and tumor growth in vivo, induced S-phase arrest, and suppressed PI3K/Akt signaling pathway without affecting cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, downregulated of PGC1α decreased mtDNA, ETC, and OCR, while enhancing ROS, glucose uptake, ECAR, and glycolysis by regulating lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA). Moreover, SR18292 (an inhibitor of PGC1α) induced oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction of DOKs and declined DOK xenograft tumor progression. Thus, our work suggests that PGC1α plays a crucial role in cell proliferation by reprograming energy metabolism and interfering with energy metabolism, acting as a potential therapeutic target for OPMDs.

Objective To establish a quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR)method for the analysis of human-derived SRY DNA in mouse tissues,and to study the tissue distribution of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(HUCMSCs)in immunodeficient NOG mice after a single intravenous injection.Methods We established a quantitative PCR method for the analysis of human SRY DNA in mouse tissues,and validated the standard curve,linear range,accuracy,precision,and stability.Thirty-six NOG mice(18 male,18 female)were administered 3.5×107 HUCMSCs/kg by single intravenous injection.Six mice were then anesthetized and dissected after blood collection(EDTA anticoagulation)at 6,12,24,and 72 h,and at 1 and 2 weeks,respectively.DNA was extracted from lung,kidney,heart,liver,brain,spinal cord,stomach,small intestine,fat,skin,spleen,testis,uterus,and ovary tissues,and the distribution of HUCMSCs in each tissue was determined by the validated quantitative PCR method for detecting the human-derived SRY gene in mouse tissues.In addition,18 NOG mice(9 male,9 female)were divided into control(n = 6)and treatment groups(n = 12)injected intravenously with 0.9%sodium chloride and 3.5×107 cells/kg,respectively.Acute toxic reactions were observed during the administration period,and four animals were dissected at 72 h and at 2 and 4 weeks after administration to observe the gross organs.Mitochondrial protein expression was detected in paraffin sections of lung tissues by immunohistochemistry to analyze the colonization of HUCMSCs in lung tissues.Results The established RT-qPCR method for human-derived SRY DNA in mouse tissues met the validation criteria for each index.After a single intravenous injection in NOG mice,HUCMSCs were mainly distributed in the lungs and blood within 1 week after administration,with higher concentrations in lung tissues than in blood.The concentrations of HUCMSCs in lung tissue and blood remained relatively stable within 6～24 h and 6～72 h,respectively,and then decreased over time.The distribution of HUCMSCs in other tissues was not measured at all sampling points.The colonization result showed that HUCMSCs were detected in lungs 72 h after intravenous injection,but not at 2 and 4 weeks.No obvious acute toxicity was observed in NOG mice after single intravenous administration of HUCMSCs.Conclusions The above method for analyzing the distribution of HUCMSCs in mouse tissue is reliable and feasible.HUCMSCs were mainly distributed in lung and blood in NOG mice within 1 week after a single intravenous injection,and mainly colonized lung tissue at 72 h.A single intravenous administration of HUCMSCs has a good safety profile.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and the safety of the radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for the septal accessory pathway (AP) in children.Methods:From September 2013 to March 2019, 626 patients plan to underwent RFCA for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine.Among them, 74 consecutive patients with right or left septal APs were included in the study and their clinical and RFCA data were analyzed.Results:The age of these 74 children (45 males, 29 female) was (7.8±3.5) years, ranging from 10 months to 13 years.The body weight (BW) was (27.7±14.4) kg, with 3 patients BW<15 kg.A discordant ventricular wall motion (DVWM) was found in 5 patients, and the combined congenital heart diseases were discovered in 2 patients.A three dimensional mapping system was applied in 69 ablations, and 3 ablations were performed only with the fluoroscopy monitor of 5 cases.According to the AP location, the number of cases located in the anteroseptal, the midseptal, the mouth of coronary sinus, the left posteroseptal and the right posteroseptal, were 28, 18, 10, 10 and 8, respectively.The ablation operations were applied in 72 patients.The initial acute success reached in 67 (93.1%) patients.The ablation energy was (18.0±1.8) W, the fluoroscopy time during the ablations was (4.7±2.7) minutes, and the procedure duration was (151.5±58.6) minutes.One inadvertent complete atrioventricular block (AVB) was noted as the ablation-related complication.All 5 children with the pre-DVWM were recovered after ablations.During a follow-up of (23.8±10.8) months, 4 patients experienced the recurrence of preexcitation syndrome atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.Conclusions:With the 3D-mapping system, the RFCA of septal APs can be performed safely and effectively in pediatric patients of paroxysmal supraventri-cular tachycardia.However, as the ablation-related complication, AVB should not be ignored.
