Objective To evaluate the value of 68 Ga-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid-1-Nal3-octreotide ( DOTANOC) PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms ( pNENs) . Methods Data of 48 patients ( 18 males, 30 females, age: 23-86 (50.0±14.7) years) who underwent 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging from June 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The histopathological results were considered as the gold standard. The diagnostic efficacies of 68 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging and conventional imaging ( CI) for pNENs were analyzed and compared ( McNemar test) . Imaging characteristics of true positive lesions in 68 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT ima-ging were analyzed. The maximum standardized uptake value ( SUVmax ) in different pathological grades of pNENs lesions were compared (Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test). Accuracy for TNM staging by 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging and the correlations between the staging results and clinical TNM stages were analyzed (R× C contingency table). Results (1) The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging were 93.8％(30/32), 14/16, 93.8％(30/32), 14/16 and 91.7％(44/48). All true positive lesions detected by PET/CT showed focal up-take of 68 Ga-DOTANOC with SUVmax of 30. 52 ± 23. 57. There were 26 patients with confirmed pathological grades of G1 (n=10;SUVmax:28.20 (17.60, 49.22)), G2 (n=13; SUVmax: 27.60 (13.05, 56.08)) and G3 (n=3;SUVmax:13.68(10.02, 27.80)), with no significant difference in SUVmax among 3 groups (H=0.495, P>0.05). (2)Of the 48 patients, 95.8％(46/48) also underwent CI concurrent with PET/CT. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of CI were 60.0％(18/30), 9/16, 72.0％(18/25), 9/21 and 58.7％(27/46). The diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging was significantly higher than that of CI ( P=0.041) . ( 3) The accuracies of 68 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging for T, N, M staging were 93.3％(28/30), 6/6, 9/10, respectively, and the staging results were significantly correlated with clinical TNM stages (r=0.880, P<0.05). Conclusion 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging has great values in the diagnosis and staging of pNENs.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the safety and efficiency of the combined therapy of 89Sr plus zoledronic acid and those of 89Sr-chloride alone, in patients with painful bone metastases. Methods: A total of 87 patients with osseous metastasis were ran-domly divided into treatment groups of 89Sr-chloride alone (group A, 53 patients) and 89Sr plus zoledronic acid (group B, 34 patients). A total of 17 patients in group B received zoledronic acid 2-14 days after 89Sr therapy, and 13 other patients in the group received 89Sr 4-7 days after zoledronic-acid therapy. Pain response and KPS score were evaluated after the different treatments. Results: No obvious bone marrow suppression and liver damage were found in all cases. All patients who received both 89Sr-chloride and 89Sr plus zoledronic acid showed reduced bone pain and total discomfort, as well as improved KPS score, but the response was more pronounced in group B (P=0.047; P=0.036). No statistical differences in pain score and KPS scores were observed between the groups treated with zoledronic acid first and 89Sr therapy first (P=1.000; P=0.667). Comparison of bone pain relief and changes in the KPS score of different primary tumors after treatment with 89Sr-chloride or 89Sr plus zoledronic acid showed no statistical significance. Conclusion: Compared with 89Sr-chloride, treatment with 89Sr plus zoledronic acid was more effective in patients with painful bone metastases. The safety of these two treatments are similar.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have verified that under normal culture of neural stem cells (NSCs), folic acid can accelerate proliferation of NSCs by phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinase path activation ERK1/2. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of folic acid on NSC extracellular signal regulatory protein kinase pERK1/2 under hypoxic condition. METHODS: NSCs from Neonatal rats were cultured in vitro by serum-free culture method, and incubated in a flask at 1×10~8/L. Except normal control group, self-made hypoxia equipment was used in the hypoxia model, folic acid deficiency and folic acid supplemented groups at day 3. At 37 ℃, hypoxia culture was conducted in the thermostat for 6 hours. The contents of folic acid were 4 mg/L, 4 mg/L, 0.65 mg/L, 8 mg/L in the four groups. Cells following 6 days were collected to count the density using trypan blue. RT-PCR was utilized to detect pERK1/2 mRNA expression. Western blot assay was employed to determine pERK1/2 protein expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the normal control group, the proliferation of NSCs and the expression of ERK1/2mRNA and pERK1/2 protein were decreased significantly in the hypoxia model group. Compared with the hypoxia model group, the proliferation of NSCs and the expression of ERK1/2mRNA and pERK1/2 protein were increased in the folic acid supplemented group, whereas decreased in the folic acid deficiency group. There were significant differences among groups (P < 0.001). Above-described results verified that folic acid supplementation can activate ERK1/2 phosphorylatin and accelerate proliferation of NSCs under hypoxia condition.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with high selectivity to tilmicosin (TIM) were prepared using tylosin(TYL) as dummy template, methacrylic acid(MAA) as monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker.The effects of 4 porogens including dimethyl formamide, methanol, acetone, and chloroform on the recognition capability of MIPs were investigated.Orthogonal test was used to optimize the preparation of MIPs, and the optimal composition was as follows; 1.0 mmol TYL, 8.0 mmol MAA, 20.0 mmol EGDMA, 6.0 mL chloroform, 20.0 mg azobisisobutyronitrile.The solid phase extraction condi tions and characteristics of MIPs as adsorptive material for the selective extraction and enrichment of TIM were also studied.The recovery of TIM was above 90% when the following procedure was applied to MIPs cartridge: conditioning with methanol and water(pH 9.0), loading with acetonitrile, cleaning with methanol and chloroform respectively, and eluting with 3 mL methanol-ammonia(95:5, V/V).The recovery of TIM on non-imprinted polymers cartridge was only 32%.

Objective To evaluate the influence of early entemal nutrition and parenteral nutrition support on gastric juice pH in patients with severe brain injury. Methods Totally 168 patients with severe brain injury ( Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 8 ) admitted to our hospital from January 2007 to May 2009 were equally and randomly divided into early enternal nutrition (EEN) group and parenteral nutrition (PN) group. Gastric juice pH and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were monitored on admission and on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th day after admission. Results The gastric juice pH was significantly decreased in patients with severe brain injury. In addition, it was significantly higher in EEN group than in PN group on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th day after admission ( P ＜ 0. 001 ). The alimentary tract hemorrhage incidence showed no difference on admission between two groups but was significantly lower in the EEN group on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th day ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Hypersecretion of gastric acid may occur in patients with severe brain injury. EEN can neutralize gastric acid and increase gastric juice pH,which may lead to the decrease of upper gastriontestiual hemorrhage. Monitoring of the gastric juice pH also can provide a warning message of stress ulcer bleeding.

Objective To investigate the changes of leptin level in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and the relationship between leptin level and insulin resistance(IR). Methods 57 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (group A ), 50 patients with hypertension (group B), 41 healthy people (group C) were selected to determine the value of fasting blood-glucose ( FBG), fasting blood-insulin( FBI), leptin levels as well as insulin sensitivity index (ISI). Results The level of FNS and leptin was significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05 ) while the level of ISI was lower (P ＜ 0.05 ) in group A than those in group B and C. Correlation analysis showed that leptin level in HCH patients was negatively correlated with ISI, and positively correlated with FNS. Conclusion The results indicate that higher level of leptin and IR may play an important role in the occurrence of hypertension complicated cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To explore the imaging findings and diagnostic values of X-ray, CT, MR,and ultrasonography in traumatic knee joints hemarthrosis and lipohemarthrosis. Methods Traumatic knee joints hemarthrosis (12 knees) and lipohemarthrosis (18 knees) proved by operation (27 knees) or puncturation (3 knees) were included in the study. Horizontal-beam plain radiographs (16 knees), CT (30 knees), MRI (30 knees) and ultrasonography (24 knees) in supine position were investigated. Results (1)supine position horizontal-beam plain radiographs: Fat-liquid layer was found in 8 cases of lipohemarthrosis. Dense supragenual bursa was found in 1 case of lipohemarthrosis and 7 cases of hemarthrosis. Fracture (13 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (2) CT findings: double fluid-fluid layer was found in 11 of all 18 cases, and single fluid-fluid layer was found in 7 of 11 cases of lipohemarthrosis. Single fluid-fluid layer was found in 3 of 12 cases of hemarthrosis. Isodensity was detected in 9 cases, and high-density blood clot was found in 4 cases. Fracture (30 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (3) MRI findings: in 12 of 18 cases of lipohemarthrosis, double fluid-fluid layer was shown including supernatant layer as short T1, long T2signal and low signal after fat-suppression, middle layer as long T1, long T2 signal and high signal after fat-suppression, and dependent layer as iso-T1, iso-T2 and slight high signal after fat-suppression. Single fluid-fluid layer was seen in 6 cases, only had aforementioned upper and under layer.Only aforementioned supernatant layer and dependent layer were seen in 12 cases of hemarthrosis. 4 cases showed entire blood clot in fluid, T1WI showed middle signal or center iso-signal accompanied with peripheral high signal ring, and fat-suppression imaging showed high signal. T2WI and fat-suppressionimaging showed middling or high signal accompanied with peripheral low signal ring. Fracture (30 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (4) Ultrasound findings: In 10 of 14 cases of lipohemarthrosis, double fluid-fluid level was shown, supernatant layer as equal echo, middle layer as echoless, and dependent layer as cloudy echo. Four cases with single fluid-fluid level only showed aforementioned upper and under layer. Three of 10 cases of hemarthrosis showed single fluid-fluid level, only showing aforementioned upper and under layer,and 7 cases showed cloudy echo and float. In 3 cases the fluid blood clot showed irregular shape low-equal echo bolus. No fracture hne was found. Conclusions CT can clearly detect fracture line, hemarthrosis and lipohemarthresis, and can substitute plain radiography. MRI is the best way to diagnose hemarthresis and lipohemarthrosis. Ultrasonography can be used in diagnosing hemarthresis and lipohemarthrosis but not helpful in the diagnosis of fracture.
