Background::Lymph node staging of prostate cancer (PCa) is important for planning and monitoring of treatment. 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computerized tomography ( 18F-PSMA PET/CT) has several advantages over 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, but its diagnostic value requires further investigation. This meta-analysis focused on establishing the diagnostic utility of 18F-PSMA PET/CT for lymph node staging in medium/high-risk PCa. Methods::We searched the EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane library, and Web of Science databases from inception to October 1, 2022. Prostate cancer, 18F, lymph node, PSMA, and PET/CT were used as search terms and the language was limited to English. We additionally performed a manual search using the reference lists of key articles. Patients and study characteristics were extracted and the QUADAS-2 tool was employed to evaluate the quality of included studies. Sensitivity, specificity, the positive and negative likelihood ratio (PLR and NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), area under the curve (AUC), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18F-PSMA PET/CT. Stata 17 software was employed for calculation and statistical analyses. Results::A total of eight diagnostic tests including 734 individual samples and 6346 lymph nodes were included in this meta-analysis. At the patient level, the results of each consolidated summary were as follows: sensitivity of 0.57 (95% CI 0.39-0.73), specificity of 0.95 (95% CI 0.92-0.97), PLR of 11.2 (95% CI 6.6-19.0), NLR of 0.46 (95% CI 0.31-0.68), DOR of 25 (95% CI 11-54), and AUC of 0.94 (95% CI 0.92-0.96). At the lesion level, the results of each consolidated summary were as follows: sensitivity of 0.40 (95% CI 0.21-0.62), specificity of 0.99 (95% CI 0.95-1.00), PLR of 40.0 (95% CI 9.1-176.3), NLR of 0.61 (95% CI 0.42-0.87), DOR of 66 (95% CI 14-311), and AUC of 0.86 (95% CI 0.83-0.89).Conclusions::18F-PSMA PET/CT showed moderate sensitivity but high specificity in lymph node staging of medium/high-risk PCa. The diagnostic efficacy was almost equivalent to that reported for 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. Registration::International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), No. CRD42023391101.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective To analyze the relationship between bone cement leakage after balloon kyphoplasty(BKP)and balloon expansion pressure(BEP)in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture(OVCF).Methods The clinical data of 116 elderly patients with OVCF who received BKP in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent X-ray examination and CT enhanced scan before surgery and 72 hours after surgery to evaluate the efficacy and the occurrence of bone cement leakage.According to whether the bone cement leaked or not,he patients were divided into the bone cement leakage group and the non-bone cement leakage group.The pain was assessed by visual analogue scale(VAS)score,and the disturbance of daily living was assessed by Barthel index score.The area under the curve(AUC)and optimal cut-off value of BEP and bone cement volume to predict bone cement leakage were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The risk factors of bone cement leakage was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results There were 82 cases of mono-segment operation,27 cases of double-segment operation,and 7 cases of three-segment operation,involving 157 vertebrae.The anterior vertebral height and posterior vertebral height,the local kyphosis Cobb angle at the sagittal plane,and thoracolumbar kyphosis angle after surgery were significantly corrected,and the VAS score and Barthel index score were better than those before surgery(P<0.05).The bone cement leakage after surgery occurred in 24 patients,including 1 case with pulmonary cement embolism.The intraoperative BEP and volume of bone cement in the bone cement leakage group were significantly higher than those in the non-bone cement leakage group(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that both the intraoperative BEP(AUC=0.756)and bone cement volume(AUC=0.661)could predict cement leakage,with the optimal cut-off value of 135 psi and 6.08 mL,respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BEP≥135 psi was a risk factor for bone cement leakage(OR=1.038,95%CI:1.018 to 1.058,P<0.001).Conclusion BKP is a safe and effective treatment for OVCF in elderly patients,higher BEP is a risk factor for cement leakage,and patients with BEP≥135 psi are at higher risk of bone cement leakage.

Objective:To investigate the application value of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 18F prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT combined with the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmin) of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) in predicting pathological upgrading after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer. Methods:The data of 89 patients with localized prostate cancer treated at Beijing Hospital from April 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analysed. The average age of patients was (68.4±7.0) years old, with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 7.7 (5.4, 12.9) ng/ml, prostate volume of 34.6 (26.9, 47.1) ml, tumor diameter of 1.3 (1.0, 1.8) cm, prostate imaging reporting and data system(PI-RADS) score of 5 in 29 cases (32.6%), clinical stage ≥T 3 in 13 cases (14.6%). There were 31 cases (34.8%) in group 1 of targeted biopsy International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP)grading groups, 36 cases (40.4%) in group 2, 11 cases (12.4%) in group 3, and 11 cases (12.4%) in group 4. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA PET/CT and bpMRI examinations before RP. The index lesion, identified as the highest Gleason score in pathological whole-mount sections, were outlined. SUVmax and ADCmin values were calculated from the images' region of interest. Pathological upgrading was defined as the post-RP grade group higher than the targeted-biopsy grade group. Clinical data of patients with and without pathological upgrading were compared. Spearman correlation coefficient analysis was used to assess the correlation between SUVmax and ADCmin. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the factors influencing pathological upgrading. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was employed to assess the predictive value of each indicator for pathological upgrading. Results:Among the 89 cases, 31 cases (34.8%) experienced pathological upgrading. Compared with the patients without pathological upgrading, the SUVmax [11.3 (8.1, 16.4) vs. 6.7 (4.6, 9.2)], SUVmax/ADCmin ratio [3.1 (2.0, 4.6) vs. 1.4 (0.9, 2.1)], PSA [9.8 (6.3, 15.6) ng/ml vs. 7.1 (5.1, 10.5) ng/ml], PSA density [0.3 (0.2, 0.5) ng/ml 2 vs. 0.2 (0.1, 0.3) ng/ml 2], and post-RP ISUP grade group [≥3 group 17 cases (54.8%) vs. 13 cases(22.4%) ]were higher in patients with pathological upgrading, while ADCmin [3.8 (3.0, 5.3) ×10 -4 mm 2/s vs. 5.2 (3.6, 6.1)×10 -4 mm 2/s] and targeted biopsy ISUP grade group [≤2 group 27 cases(87.1%) vs. 40 cases(69.0%) ] were lower (all P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed a negative correlation between SUVmax and ADCmin ( R = -0.227, P = 0.032). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that SUVmax ( OR = 1.108, 95% CI 1.020-1.238), ADCmin ( OR=0.607, 95% CI 0.390-0.874), and SUVmax/ADCmin ratio ( OR = 1.815, 95% CI 1.282-2.949) independently predicted pathological upgrading. The AUC of the SUVmax/ADCmin ratio for predicting pathological upgrading (AUC = 0.817) was higher than that of SUVmax (AUC = 0.774) and ADCmin (AUC=0.686), indicating a higher predictive efficiency. Conclusions:SUVmax, ADCmin, and SUVmax/ADCmin ratio can independently predict pathological upgrading in targeted biopsy of prostate cancer. The SUVmax/ADCmin ratio has a stronger predictive value for pathological upgrading.

Objective:To investigate the accuracy and feasibility of applying rapid immunohistochemistry(IHC) with CK5/6 antibodies in prostate biopsy tissues to assist frozen pathology diagnosis.Methods:The data of 41 patients who underwent prostate puncture and frozen tissue rapid IHC with CK5/6 antibody in Beijing Hospital from October 2022 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age of the patients was 76 (69, 79) years old, and the median PSA value was 12.37 (7.07, 26.17) ng/ml.The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scores of the target lesions were all ≥3. The PI-RADS score of 9 patients(21.95%) was 3, 15 (36.59%) was 4, and 17(41.46%) was 5. The median diameter of the lesions in the MRI examination was 1.40 (1.09, 2.20) cm.Fourteen lesions (34.14%) were located in the migratory zone, 23 (56.10%) were located in the peripheral zone, and 4 (9.76%) involved both peripheral and migratory zone lesions. Transperineal cognitive fusion targeted combined systematic biopsy was used, and intraoperatively, 1 additional needle was taken from each of the target and non-target areas for frozen pathology section, and hematoxylin eosin(HE) staining and rapid IHC staining with CK5/6 antibody was performed, then the frozen remaining tissue was HE staining and CK5/6 IHC staining. Data such as HE and rapid IHC results of frozen pathology sections and HE and IHC results of routine sections of the frozen remaining tissues, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading groupings(GG), and actual diagnostic results of targeted combined systematic puncture were recorded. Using the routine IHC results of the same needle tissue as the gold standard, the sensitivity and positive predictive value of applying rapid IHC frozen pathology to diagnose prostate cancer and the accuracy of its pathological GG were analyzed.Results:Among the 41 patients, a total of 35 cases were diagnosed with prostate cancer(PCa) by HE staining in frozen section of target tissue, with a positivity rate of 85.37%(35/41). Among these, there were 17 cases (48.57%) in ISUP GG 1, 8 cases (22.86%) in GG 2, 4 cases (11.43%) in GG 3, and 6 cases (17.14%) in GG 4 to 5. In addition, a total of 35 cases were diagnosed with PCa by HE staining in frozen remaining section of target tissue, with a positivity rate of 85.37%(35/41). Among these, there were 17 cases (48.57%) in ISUP GG 1, 8 cases (22.86%) in GG 2, 4 cases (11.43%) in GG 3, and 6 cases (17.14%) in GG 4 to 5. The results of rapid IHC of target tissue: 35 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 6 cases were positive. The results of routine IHC of target tissue: 35 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 6 cases were positive. The results of rapid IHC of non-target tissue: 12 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 29 cases were positive. The results of routine IHC of non-target tissue: 12 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 29 cases were positive. Thirty-five cases of target tissue rapid IHC diagnosis of PCa were in complete agreement with routine IHC diagnosis, with a false-positive rate of 0, a sensitivity of 100.00% (35/35) and a positive predictive value of 100.00% (35/35). Twelve cases of non-target tissue rapid IHC diagnosis of PCa were in complete agreement with routine IHC diagnosis, with a false-positive rate of 0, a sensitivity of 100.00% (35/35), and a positive predictive value of 100.00% (12/12).Conclusions:The preliminarily study results confirmed that the application of rapid IHC with CK5/6 antibodies in prostate biopsy tissues assisted frozen pathology diagnosis with high accuracy, but the reliability of rapid IHC technology in assisting frozen pathological diagnosis during puncture surgery still needs further validation through large sample size prospective studies.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT PRIMAY score combined with multiparameter MRI (mpMRI) PI-RADS score for clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa). Methods:The data of 63 patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy at Beijing Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 70 (64, 75) years old with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 8.46 (5.40, 14.80) ng/ml. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI examination before surgery, and pathological large sections of prostate specimens were made after surgery. The prostate lesions were diagnosed and located by two radiologists and one pathologist respectively. Lesions with Gleason scores (GS)≥3+ 4 from the surgical pathology were diagnosed with CsPCa, and lesions with negative or GS=6 were diagnosed with non-CsPCa. The PSMA PET/CT images were evaluated using the PRIMARY study criteria (5-level PRlMARY score): no pattern (score of 1), diffuse transition zone or central zone(not focal) (score of 2), focal transition zone(score of 3), focal peripheral zone(score of 4), or an SUV max of at least 12 (score of 5). The degree of uptake of imaging agent in prostate lesions was semi-quantitatively evaluated using lesion-to-background ratios (LBR) of SUV max. MpMRI was evaluated according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. The patients were divided into CsPCa group and non-CsPCa group based on patients and lesions. Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used to compare the differences between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent predictive factors of CsPCa. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal diagnostic threshold for each independent predictor. Predictive models were constructed for PRIMARY score, PI-RADS score, and their combined application, and the diagnostic performance of each model for CsPCa was compared. Results:Of all 63 patients, there were 54 cases in CsPCa group (85.7%) and 9 cases in non-CsPCa group (14.3%).There was significant difference between CsPCa group and non-CsPCa group in the serum PSA level [9.64 (6.1, 15.3) ng/ml vs. 5.6 (4.6, 7.6) ng/ml]( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in age [71 (64, 75) years vs. 65 (63, 69) years], and number of lesions [2 (1, 2) vs. 2 (1, 3)] (all P>0.05). Of all 109 lesions, there were 81 lesions in CsPCa group(including 49 lesions with Gleason score = 3+ 4, 16 lesions with Gleason score=4+ 3, 14 lesions with Gleason score = 8, and 2 lesions with Gleason score>8) and 28 lesions in non-CsPCa group(including 14 lesions with Gleason score = 3+ 3 and 14 with benign prostate lesions). There was significant difference between CsPCa group and non-CsPCa group in PRIMARY score [4 (3, 5) vs. 2 (1, 4)], LBR [2.69 (2.08, 4.48) vs. 1.89 (1.45, 2.48)], PI-RADS score [4 (3, 5) vs. 2 (2, 3)] (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the lesion distribution including the number of lesions located in the transition zone [15(18.5%) vs. 8(28.6%)] and in the peripheral zone[66(81.5%) vs. 20(71.4%)]( P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that PRIMARY score ( OR=2.134, 95% CI 1.429-3.187) and PI-RADS score ( OR=2.689, 95% CI 1.618-4.469) were independent predictors of CsPCa (both P<0.01). ROC curves analysis revealed that the cut-off value for diagnosing CsPCa was both 3 for PRIMARY score and PI-RADS score. The accuracy for PRIMARY score, PI-RADS score, and their combined complication in diagnosing CsPCa was 72%, 67%, and 83%, respectively. The sensitivity was 72%, 63%, and 91%, and the specificity was 75%, 79%, and 57%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 89%, 89%, and 86%, and the negative predictive value was 48%, 42%, and 70%, respectively. The area under the curve of the PRIMARY score, PI-RADS score, and their combined complication of the ROC curve for CsPCa were 0.733 (95% CI 0.624-0.842), 0.708 (95% CI 0.599-0.817), and 0.743 (95% CI 0.623-0.862), respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of their combined complication was higher than PRIMARY score or PI-RADS score alone (both P<0.01). Conclusions:Both the 18F-PSMA PET/CT PRIMAY score and the mpMRI PI-RADS score have good diagnostic value for CsPCa. The combined application of the two imaging parameters can improve the accuracy, sensitivity, and negative predictive value, which have a higher diagnostic efficiency of CsPCa.
