		                        			Objective:To evaluate the clinical application potential of a novel prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted PET tracer 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 in patients diagnosed initially with prostate cancer. Methods:A total of 63 patients (age (68.7±8.7) years) with suspected prostate cancers who received 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT imaging in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University between March 2022 and January 2023 were enrolled prospectively. The diagnostic efficiency of 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT imaging was evaluated in a patient-centered manner. The ROI was drawn to obtain SUV max by semi-quantitative analysis with visual analysis, and the diagnostic threshold of SUV max was obtained by ROC curve analysis. The correlations of SUV max in primary foci with total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) and Gleason score (GS) were analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Based on the D′Amico risk stratification (prostate specific antigen (PSA)>20 μg/L and ≤20 μg/L, GS>7 and ≤7), the detection rates of metastases by 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT imaging in different stratifications were analyzed by Fisher exact test, and the differences between SUV max of metastases in different stratifications were determined by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT imaging was 92.06%(58/63), the sensitivity was 96.55%(28/29), the specificity was 88.24%(30/34), the positive predictive value was 87.50%(28/32), the negative predictive value was 96.77%(30/31), and the optimal SUV max threshold was 6.9. 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 showed varying degrees of high uptake in the primary foci of prostate cancer, and SUV max were positively correlated with tPSA and GS ( rs values: 0.657, 0.592, P values: <0.001, 0.001). Stratified analysis showed a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of bone metastases by 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT between the GS>7 and GS≤7 subgroups (9/17 vs 1/12; P=0.019), while no statistical significances were observed in the detection rates of bone metastases or lymph node metastases of another subgroups (all P>0.05). In addition, none of the differences in SUV max of metastases in patients with different stratifications were statistically significant ( z value: from -1.57 to -0.50, all P>0.05). Conclusions:68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT imaging has good diagnostic efficacy for prostate cancer, and it may provide a new strategy for the precise diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. Besides, GS stratification may affect the detection rate of bone metastases by 68Ga-PSMA-NYM032 PET/CT imaging.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the characteristics and reliability of a novel sub-classification of Wilkins type III lateral-flexion supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 92 children with supracondylar fracture of the humerus admitted to Provincial Children′s Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2013 to August 2021, including 38 males and 54 females, aged 2-13 years [(8.5±2.4)years]. Lateral-flexion Wilkins type III supracondylar humeral fractures were classified into two subtypes according to the fracture features: type IIIA ( n=14), complete fracture with the distal fragment displaced anteriorly and laterally, with no obvious anterior or posterior inclination (<10°) or rotation; type IIIB ( n=78), complete fracture with the distal fragment displaced anteriorly and laterally, with significant anterior or posterior inclination (>10°) or rotation. The incidence and risk ratio of ulnar nerve injury and open reduction were compared between the two subtypes of the fracture. The weighted Kappa method was used to test the inter- and intra-observer agreement of the two new subtypes. Results:Of all, 15 children had ulnar nerve injury, among which 1(6.7%) was type IIIA and 14(93.3%) were type IIIB; while other 77 children had no ulnar nerve injury. The risk of ulnar nerve injury in children with type IIIB was 3-fold higher than that in children with type IIIA ( OR=2.84, 95% CI 0.34- 25.56, P>0.05). The open reduction was performed in 11(73.3%) out of the 15 children with ulnar nerve injury, but in 18(23.4%) out of the 77 children with no ulnar nerve injury. The risk of open reduction in children with ulnar nerve injury was 9-fold higher than that in children without ulnar nerve injury ( OR=9.01, 95% CI 2.28- 33.17, P<0.01). Open reduction was performed in 29 children, among which 2(6.9%) were type IIIA and 27(93.1%) were type IIIB. The risk of open reduction in children with type IIIB was 3-fold higher than that in children with type IIIA ( OR=3.17, 95% CI 0.66-15.24, P>0.05). The intra-observer Kappa value was 0.49±0.09(95% CI 0.31-0.66), indicating a moderate agreement. The inter-observer Kappa value was 0.80±0.06(95% CI 0.68-0.91), indicating a strong or very strong agreement. Conclusions:Wilkins type IIIB lateral-flexion supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children is more likely to be accompanied by ulnar nerve injury and to be opt to open reduction in comparion with type IIIA. The new subtyping has reliable inter-observer and intra-observer consistency, and is able to facilitate the prediction of surgical plans.

The viral serological indicators and liver function were detected. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected. The peripheral blood pDC frequency and the quantitative expression of co-stimulatory molecule CD86 were detected by flow cytometry, and the correlation between the onset of chronic hepatitis B and the frequency and function of pDC was analyzed.Results:In IC group, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels, HBeAg levels and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA loads were significantly lower than those in IT group, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in IC group were significantly higher than that in IT group; pDC% in IC group was significantly lower than that in IT group; CD86 + pDC% and CD86 mean fluorescentintensity (MFI) showed no significant difference between the two groups. In the IC group, the baseline pDC% was negatively correlated with ALT levels, while CD86 + pDC%, CD86MFI, and CD86 antibody binding capacity (ABC) had no remarkable correlation with ALT levels. Conclusions:The frequency of pDC was correlated with the pathogenesis of CHB. The lower the frequency of pDC in patients with CHB, the more prone to hepatitis. Therefore, increasing the frequency of pDC may inhibit the occurrence of hepatitis.
