Energy metabolism is fundamental for life.It encompasses the utilization of carbohydrates,lipids,and proteins for internal processes,while aberrant energy metabolism is implicated in many diseases.In the present study,using three-dimensional(3D)printing from polycarbonate via fused deposition modeling,we propose a multi-nuclear radiofrequency(RF)coil design with integrated 1H birdcage and interchangeable X-nuclei(2H,13C,23Na,and 31P)single-loop coils for magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)/magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS).The single-loop coil for each nucleus attaches to an arc bracket that slides unrestrictedly along the birdcage coil inner surface,enabling convenient switching among various nuclei and animal handling.Compared to a commercial 1H birdcage coil,the proposed 1H birdcage coil exhibited superior signal-excitation homogeneity and imaging signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).For X-nuclei study,prominent peaks in spectroscopy for phantom solutions showed excellent SNR,and the static and dynamic peaks of in vivo spectroscopy validated the efficacy of the coil design in structural imaging and energy metabolism detection simultaneously.

Transport monitoring is an important link in the transport process of radioactive materials, involving the whole process, that is, before departure, during transportation and after arrival. To do well in transport monitoring, radiation monitoring organizations need to actively participate in the work, and also need to do a good job in the supervision of radioactive materials transport monitoring. Beijing is one of the radioactive materials distribution centers in China, the monitoring workload is large, the number of monitoring reports is large, the number of packages by air transportation is relatively large, and the transportation and monitoring for medical use is dominant. Through the introduction of radioactive materials transportation monitoring work, and analysis of 2006—2020 radioactive materials transportation monitoring situation, this paper discusses the problems that need to be paid attention to in the monitoring work and the ways to deal with them, so as to provide ideas for radiation monitoring organizations to carry out monitoring work and manage the transport of radioactive materials well.

Objective To explore the relationship between hemoglobin (Hb) level during the first trimester of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A total of 1 276 participants, who underwent scheduled prenatal examination and normal singleton delivery at the Fifth People′s Hospital of Shanghai and Hospital of Intergrated Chinese and Western Medicine in Minhang District, from January 2016 to May 2018 were included. There were 99 cases of GDM (GDM group) and 1 177 cases of normal (control group) pregnant women.Based on the serum Hb level during the first trimester of pregnancy, participants were divided into three groups, 236 cases of low Hb level group (Hb<110 g/L), 868 cases of normal Hb level group (110 g/L≤Hb<130 g/L), and 172 cases of high Hb level group (Hb≥130 g/L). Maternal clinical data were collected, including Hb level during the first trimester of pregnancy, three-point blood glucose (BG) of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting insulin during the second trimester of pregnancy. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and homeostasis model assessment of pancreatic β cell function index (HOMA-β) were used to evaluate insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell function. Results (1) Hb level during the first trimester of pregnancy in GDM group was significantly higher than that in control group [(123±10),(119±11) g/L, P<0.05]. There were no significant difference in gravidity, parity, index of liver and renal function (all P>0.05). (2) Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), 1-hour BG and 2-hour BG of OGTT were significantly increased in the high Hb level group during the first trimester of pregnancy, which were (23±4) kg/m2, (7.3±2.0) mmol/L, and (6.5±1.4) mmol/L (P<0.05), respectively. The pre-pregnancy BMI, 1-hour BG and 2-hour BG of the normal or low Hb level group were (22±3) kg/m2, (6.7±1.6) mmol/L, (6.1± 1.2) mmol/L; (22±3) kg/m2, (6.5±1.5) mmol/L, (5.9±1.1) mmol/L, respectively. There were no statistically significant difference in levels of fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and HOMA-β within 3 groups (all P>0.05). (3) In the high Hb level group, prevalence of pregnancy overweight or obesity and GDM were the highest, which were 37.2%(64/172) and 15.1%(26/172), respectively; the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (4) The serum Hb level in the first trimester was positively related with pre-pregnancy BMI (r=0.130, P<0.05), 1-hour BG (r=0.129, P<0.05), 2-hour BG (r=0.134, P<0.05), fasting insulin (r=0.096, P<0.05), and HOMA-IR (r=0.101, P<0.05).Logistic regression indicated that Hb≥130 g/L during the first trimester of pregnancy was an independent risk factor for GDM ( OR=2.799, 95% CI :1.186-6.604; P<0.05). Conclusion The high level of Hb (Hb≥130 g/L) during the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with GDM.

Objective To summarize the computed tomographic (CT) manifestations of pulmonary aspergillosis after organ transplantation and compare different signs between pulmonary aspergillosis and bacterial pneumonia.Methods CT images of pulmonary aspergillosis (n =62) and bacterial pneumonia (n =68) in post-transplantation patients were reviewed.The signs were categorized with consolidation,mass,large nodule (≥1crn),small nodule and bud-in-tree pattern.Some detailed useful differentiating signs such as halo sign,air bronchogram sign,reversed halo sign,hypodensity sign and cavitation were also analyzed.Results CT patterns of pulmonary aspergillosis included consolidation,mass,large nodule,small nodule and bud-in-tree pattern.The most common was large nodule (75.8％),followed by consolidation (48.4％)and mass (29.0％).And small nodule (16.1 ％) and bud-in-tree (12.9％) patterns were concurrent.For consolidation pattern,the proportion of bacterial pneumonia (69.1％) was the larger;For mass pattern,the proportion of pulmonary aspergillosis (29.0％) was the larger.For large nodule pattern,there was no difference.The detail sign of large nodule in two groups had no difference In detailed signs of consolidation pattern,air bronchogram sign was more often seen in bacterial pneumonia while cavitation was more frequently found in pulmonary aspergillosis.In detailed signs of mass pattern,pulmonary aspergillosis often has single lesion (66.7％),cavitation (83.3％)and air crescent sign (77.8％) is more common.The proportion of halo sign was 30.7％.Conclusions CT manifestations of pulmonary aspergillosis are diverse after organ transplantation.There is some difference and yet overlap with bacterial pneumonia.

Objective To study the effects of hypothermia on learning and memory ability and mRNA expression of fusion gene and fission gene of mitochondria in hippocampus of rats.Methods 32 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups according to low-temperature exposure time in the test:high-exposure group(low-temperature exposure for 24 h/d),middle-exposure group(low-temperature exposure for 12 h/d),low-exposure group(low-temperature exposure for 6 h/d) and control group.The temperature of low-temperature exposure was 0-5 ℃.The total test time was 45 d.Morris water maze test was performed on each group from the fifth day before the end of the low-temperature test to the first day after the low-temperature test.After the water maze test,the mRNA expressions of mitochondrial fusion genes (Mfn1,Mfn2) and fission genes(Fis1,Drp1) in hippocampus were detected by RT-qPCR.Results Compared with the control group,the escaping latency of the high-exposure group and the middle-exposure group at the first day and the fifth day of water maze test were significantly longer than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The escaping latency of the sixth day and the number of platform crossings at the beginning of the water maze test were significantly different from those in the control group(P ＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the control group,the escaping latency of the high-exposure group and the middle-exposure group was significantly prolonged on the sixth day,and the number of the platform crossings decreased significantly.The difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05,P＜ 0.01).The high,middle and low-exposure group of mitochondrial fusion and fission genes mRNA expressions were as follows respectively:Mfn1:4.05 ±0.21,1.51±0.23,1.17 ±0.83;Mfn2:5.38 ±0.74,0.84 ±0.53,0.47 ±0.33;Fis1:1.65 ±0.58,0.49 ± 0.42,0.40±0.32;Drp1:4.11 ±0.37,0.99 ±0.82,0.55 ±0.29.Compared with the control group,the mRNA expression of the fusion and the fission genes in the high-exposure group increased significantly(P＜0.01).Conclusion The abnormalities of mitochondrial fusion and fission gen mRNA expression in the hippocampus may be one of the mechanisms of the decline of learning and memory functions caused by low temperature exposure.

Objective To determine the association of high IL-1β levels with the migration of lung cancer H460 cells with acquired resistance to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Methods The resistant cells were referred to as H460-TR in this study. IL-1β levels in H460-TR cells and the parent H460 (H460-WT) cells were measured through RT-PCR, Western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The migration capacity of the cells was determined using the migration transwell assay. The extent of migration and the activation of phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase/serine-threonine kinase (PI3K/Akt) were detected in H460 cells treated with or without human recombinant IL-1 or IL-1R antagonist. Results Migration capacity of H460-TR cells in the conditioned medium and its IL-1β level were higher than those of H460-WT cells . The migration capacity and Akt activation were consistent with the IL-1β level in lung cancer H460 cells. Conclusions Significantly elevated IL-1β expression in cancer cells is associated with the high migration capacity of H460-TR cells, and Akt activation. Akt signaling as the downstream pathway of IL-1β and IL-1βmay function as a therapeutic target for metastatic lung cancer.
