Objective:To evaluate the detection rate and distribution characteristics of lesions in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer by 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 PET/CT. Methods:From January 2020 to March 2024, 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT examination results of 172 patients (age (69.4±6.5) years) with BCR after radical prostatectomy in Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT detection rate was explored. The location and quantity of lesions detected by 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT were analyzed in BCR patients with clear location after local treatment, and data were analyzed by Fisher exact test. Results:The detection rate of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in patients with BCR was 70.35%(121/172). The positive detection rate increased with the increase of PSA level, with detection rates of 0.2 μg/L≤PSA<0.5 μg/L, 0.5 μg/L≤PSA<1.0 μg/L, 1.0 μg/L≤PSA<1.5 μg/L and PSA≥1.5 μg/L groups of 49.12%(28/57), 67.24%(39/58), 15/16 and 95.12%(39/41), respectively. After local treatment, 64 cases were diagnosed with 95 recurrent and metastatic lesions. Among them, 22(34.38%) had simple prostate bed recurrence, 23(35.94%) had simple lymph node metastasis, 7(10.94%) had simple bone metastasis, and 12(18.75%) had multi regional metastasis. The proportion of bone metastasis (18.75%, 12/64) was significantly lower than that of prostate bed recurrence and lymph node metastasis (both 50.00%(32/64); both P=0.002). Conclusions:68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT has a high detection rate in patients with BCR after radical prostatectomy, especially in patients with high PSA levels. The lesions are mainly distributed in the prostate bed and lymph nodes, while bone metastases are relatively rare, which provide a theoretical basis for the selection of more accurate treatment plans for BCR patients in the future.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are a heterogeneous subset of lymphocytes, mainly T cells, present in tumor parenchyma and stroma. After being digested and isolated from tumor tissue and then cultured in vitro for activation and multiplication, it can be infused back into the patient's body to kill tumor cells. TILs have the advantages of high diversity of TCR, excellent ability to infiltrate into tumor sites, and low toxicity and are considered promising for the treatment of malignant solid tumors. At present, TIL therapy has been tested as a second-line treatment in a variety of solid tumors and has achieved preliminary results. Although there is still no clinical cohort report on the application of TILs in biliary tract cancer (BTC), recent clinical reports on multiple cancers have provided information on the efficacy of TIL therapy in a small number of BTC patients, which preliminarily confirmed the safety and efficacy of TIL therapy. However, since BTC is generally considered an immunologically repulsive tumor in which most effector T cells are sequestered at the tumor edge, the antitumor effect of TILs in BTC remains difficult to predict. Combination therapy with different anti-tumor methods and the development of new techniques to modify cells to enhance the anti-tumor ability of TILs are possible directions for breakthrough in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the safety, efficacy and performance of disposable cholangiopancreatoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct diseases.Methods:A total of 20 subjects were selected and 16 subjects were enrolled in the prospective and exploratory clinical study which were performed in the Digestive Endoscope Center of Hangzhou First People's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2021 to August 2021. The disposable cholangiopancreatoscope was used to diagnose bile duct diseases in routine endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Biopsies were performed in cases where malignancy was considered. The use related indexes and performance indexes of the instruments were analyzed.Results:Among the 16 patients, there were 6 cases of biliary space-occupying lesions, 6 cases of biliary calculi, and 4 cases of benign biliary stricture before operation. The success rate of the disposable insertion was 100.00% (16/16), and the success rate of observation was 100.00% (16/16). Three biliary space-occupying lesions diagnosed as malignant tumor under cholangiopancreatoscope were confirmed by pathology after operation. Diagnosis of other patients was consistent with preoperative diagnose, so no biopsy was conducted. The rate of positive feedback from operators in directional control was 81.25% (13/16), the image failure rate was 18.75% (3/16), and the rate of positive feedback for image clarity was 93.75% (15/16). In terms of clinical performance, the imaging quality of excellence was 93.75% (15/16), the flexible degree of excellence was 81.25% (13/16), and other indexes were all 100.00% excellence. During the period, there were no instrument defects, pancreatitis, perforation, bleeding or other instrument-related adverse events.Conclusion:The effectiveness, safety and performance indexes of domestic disposable cholangiopancreatoscope have reached the standards of clinical application with high pixel, integration, and portability. It's worthy of clinical recommendation.

Objective:To observe the effect of intravitreal injection of Conbercept with two different doses in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and explore the clinical feasibility of ROP treatment by lower dose conbercept.Methods:This was a prospective study. The premature infants were enrolled with pre-threshold type 1, threshold and acute aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) from March 2018 to June 2019, who received fundus screening in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Henan Eye Hospital. They were randomly divided into two groups. The group A (lower dose group) were received intravitreal injection of conbercept with 0.15 mg/0.015 ml, and those in group B (control group) were received intravitreal injection of conbercept with 0.25 mg/0.025 ml. We checked and recorded the lesion area, stage, scope (according to the clock range), additional lesion (plus), etc. Fundus examination should be performed with the pediatric wide-field fundus imaging system within 7 days after treatment. It was used to observe the plus disese, ridge, regression of neovascularization on ridge, and development of retinal vessels to serrated edge or scarring. The follow-up period was at least 24 weeks. The effect evaluation was divided into recovery, improvement, recurrence and aggravation.Results:The 43 ROP subjects (84 eyes) were enrolled including 21 cases (40 eyes) in group A and 22 (44 eyes) in group B. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender ( χ2=1.169), birth age ( t=0.283), birth weight ( t=0.547), hospitalization days in NICU ( t=1.187), first examination time ( t=1.811), first injection time ( t=0.492), follow-up time ( t=0.899) and ROP condition ( χ2=0.854) ( P>0.05). In group A, 21 eyes (52.5%) were cured, 17 eyes (42.5%) were improved, 2 eyes (5.0%) were recurred, and no aggravating cases were found. In group B, 24 eyes (54.5%) were cured, 14 eyes (31.8%) were improved, 6 eyes (13.6%) were recurred, and no aggravating cases were found. There was no significant difference of the cure rate ( χ2=2.210, P>0.05) and effective (recovery and improvement) rate ( χ2=1.814, P=0.269) between two groups after the first injection. Conclusion:Intravitreal injection of conbercept with the two doses should be effective in the treatment of ROP.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for elderly patients with advanced myeloid neoplasm.
Methods:
From September 2014 to September 2017, 30 consecutive hospitalized 50-plus-year-old myeloid neoplasm patients were retrospectively analyzed. At the time of transplantation, 6 patients reached complete remission and the others remained no remission after treatment. The donors were identical sibling (12), matched unrelated (6) and haploidentical family member (12), respectively. 18 patients received RIC while 12 patients received MAC conditioning regiments consisted of Busulfan, cytarabine, fludarabine or clarithromycin±TBI, respectively.
Results:
Five patients died early in the conditioning stage, 24 patients successfully engrafted. The median time of neutrophil engraftment was 14(10-18) d, whereas platelet engraftment was 15(10-19) d. Six cases (25%) experienced aGVHD grades Ⅱ, 8 cases (32%) cGVHD, including moderate to severe cGVHD in 2 cases (8%). Seven, 7 and 5 cases developed CMV viremia, pneumonia and herpeszoster, respectively after transplantation, but no patients died of infections. The median follow-up time of the patients was 7(0.5-38) months. Twenty-one patients were still alive. The estimated 2 years OS and LFS were 62.5% (95%

OBJECTIVE To explore the auditory outcomes and prognostic factors in ossiculoplasty using autogenous ossicles. METHODS A retrospective review was performed in 126 patients with cholesteatoma or chronic otitis media, who admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology in Jingzhou hospital affiliated to Tongji medical college from January 2014 to July 2016, and underwent canal wall-down tympanoplasty (CWDT) with ossiculoplasty using autogenous ossicles in a single stage. The postoperative complication and hearing thresholds were analyzed after 12 months' follow-up. RESULTS The rate of dry ear was 96.5%. We had not found any extrusion of prosthesis. There was no one with postoperative retraction pocket or recurrence of cholestatoma during the follow-up. Auditory outcomes showed air conduction threshold improved from (52.7±7.4)dB to (39.0±9.1)dB after operation, while the air-bone gaps improved from(27.4±6.9)dB to (20.8±6.2)dB. Postoperative outcomes were considered successful, if the postoperative air-bone gap was <20 dB. The successful hearing was achieved in 88 patients (69.8%). Prognostic factors were analyzed using multivariate analysis with logistic regression. And we found the presence of the stapes and the malleus handle was significantly favorable predictive factors. All the patients recovered well without severe complication. CONCLUSION Autogenous ossicles is very valuable in ossiculoplasty. The present stapes and malleus handle are important factors for the auditory outcomes in ossiculoplasty.

Objective To investigate the effects of low contrast agent concentration and optimal monoenergetic image on myocardial image quality in dual source, dual energy coronary CT angiography (CCTA).Methods Sixty patients,who were clinically suspected of coronary heart disease and referred to perform dual energy CCTA examination,were prospectively collected between January and June 2016 in the first affiliated hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and then randomly divided into two groups with thirty cases in each group.Dual-energy CCTA was performed in both groups with the same parameters expect the iodine contrast agent concentration.The iopamidol concentrations were 370 and 320 mg/ml for groups A and B, respectively. The raw images of the two groups were reconstructed to get conventional mixed energy images and 60,65,70,75,80,85,90 keV single energy images,respectively labeled as group A1 to A8 and group B1 to B8.The CT attenuation,noise,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast to noise ratio(CNR)were measured in images from groups A1 to A8 and B1 to B8. And the optimal monoenergetic image set was selected.Rank sum test was used to compare the CT value,noise,SNR and CNR between groups A1 to A8 and B1 to B8.The differences of above-mentioned parameters between A1 and B5 group,A5 group and B5 group were compared by independent sample t test.Results The differences of CT value,noise,SNR and CNR between groups A1 and A8, B1 and B8 were statistically significant (P<0.05). The CNR and SNR of group A5 were significantly higher than that of group A1,and the image noise of group A5 was lower than that of group A1(all P<0.05),and the images of A5 group(75 keV)were the optimal monoenergetic image. The SNR and CNR of the left ventricular lateral wall in group B5 were significantly higher than those in group B1,and the noise was lower than that in group B1(all P<0.05),and the image of B5 group(75 keV) was the optimal monoenergetic image. The difference of image noise between groups A1 and B5 was statistically significant(P<0.05),while the differences of SNR and CNR between these two groups were not significant(all P>0.05).The differences of image noise,SNR and CNR between groups A5 and B5 were not significant(all P>0.05).Conclusions The myocardial CCTA image quality by using iodine contrast agent (320 mg/ml) and optimal monoenergetic imaging (75 keV) is equivalent to that of conventional iodine contrast agent(370 mg/ml)mixed energy image.The strategy can effectively reduce the amount of contrast agent when meeting the needs of the clinical diagnosis.
