Positron emission tomography (PET) now plays an important role in the research and development (R&D) of central nervous system (CNS) drugs. PET could characterize the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and receptor binding of CNS drugs quantitatively. The present review summarized the quantitative methods of PET used in the pharmacokinetics and receptor occupancy analysis of CNS drugs. Moreover, the present review listed various applications of PET supporting R&D of CNS drugs, which could provide a new direction for the R&D of CNS drugs.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the novel prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET imaging agent 18F-AlF-P16-093 in combination with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for prostate cancer (PCa), and to explore its application in guiding transperineal puncture biopsy. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of 36 patients diagnosed as PCa (age: 68-76 years) who underwent 18F-AlF-P16-093 PET/CT and mpMRI examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from August 2023 to March 2024. The entire prostate was divided into 12 regions based on biopsy localization. Imaging evaluations were performed using PET/CT and mpMRI at the lesion level, with biopsy pathology as the gold standard. The correlations between mpMRI scores, PET/CT scores and pathological diagnosis results were evaluated by Phi coefficient analysis. Diagnostic efficacy was assessed by ROC curve analysis. Logistic regression was used to determine the impact of bleeding on image interpretation. Results:18F-AlF-P16-093 PET/CT showed a moderate positive correlation with pathological diagnosis result ( Phi=0.415, P<0.001), which was superior to mpMRI ( Phi=0.338, P<0.001). The diagnostic efficacy of PET single-modality model was superior to mpMRI in all indicators. The combination of 18F-AlF-P16-093 PET/CT with mpMRI significantly improved diagnostic specificity and positive predictive value, with the diagnostic specificity of the PET+ T 2 weighted imaging (WI)+ diffusion WI (DWI) and PET+ T 2WI+ DWI+ apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) combinations exceeding 90%, and the positive predictive value exceeding 80%. Bleeding did not significantly affect the diagnosis of PCa by mpMRI and PET/CT (odds ratio ( OR): 0.463-0.785, all P>0.05). Conclusion:18F-AlF-P16-093 PET/CT is superior to mpMRI in the detection and diagnostic efficacy of PCa lesions, and the combination of 18F-AlF-P16-093 PET with mpMRI can further improve diagnostic specificity and positive predictive value, which is of guiding significance for targeted prostate biopsy.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between sleep quality and slow-flow in patients with acute coronary syndrome during percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) and its impact on clinical prognosis.Methods:200 patients with ACS hospitalized in the cardiology department of Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2017 to October 2018 were selected. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was measured before elective PCI, and the sleep breathing of patients was monitored by micro motion sensitive mattress sleep monitoring system (MSMSMS). The patients were divided into normal sleep group (68 cases, PSQI≤7 points) and sleep disorder group (132 cases, PSQI>7 points). The levels of plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured. The " slow-flow" that took place during PCI were also recorded. Major cardiac adverse events (MACE) of patients took placed during 12 months follow-up periods were recorded and compared between two groups.Results:Compared with normal sleep group, patients in sleep disorder group had higher ratio of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS), hypoxemia and lower deep sleep (25.00% vs 10.29%, 25.76% vs 11.76%, 66.67% vs 48.53%, all P<0.05); lower level of NO and higher level of ET-1 [(28.65±3.26)μmol/L vs (30.24±4.08)μmol/L; (21.17±3.08)pg/ml vs (18.90±2.95)pg/ml, P<0.05]; more slow-flow events took place during PCI in sleep disorder group than normal sleep group (16.67 vs 5.88%, P<0.05); After 12 months of follow-up, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed patients of the two groups had significantly different cumulative non-events survival rates (19.70% vs 7.35%, Log rank=5.06, P=0.025). Conclusions:Sleep disorder increase the slow-flow phenomenon during PCI in patients with ACS and affect the clinical prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of applying Stent Boost Subtract (SBS) technique during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with complex coronary lesions.Methods:200 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who hospitalized in the department of cardiology in Guangzhou First People′s Hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled. The coronary lesions of all patients were corresponding to B2 or C type suggested by American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) according to coronary angiography and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were randomly divided into SBS group ( n=82, SBS technique was applied during PCI) and IVUS group [ n=118, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was applied during PCI]. After stent implantation, quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) automatic analysis system was used to measure the related parameters of stent diameter (including the minimum, maximum and mean value of stent diameter) and calculate the stent eccentricity index. During PCI, stent eccentricity index, post-stent expansion, poorly positioned stent with open lesions, failure of overlapping stent with long lesions, mean cumulative dose (CD), product of total dose area (DAP), X-ray time, operation time and operation cost of each PCI were recorded in the two groups. Patients were followed up for 18 months after PCI, and the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was recorded during the follow-up period, and the cumulative survival rate without MACE was compared between the two groups. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in stent eccentricity index, proportion of guided stent expansion, proportion of poorly positioned stent with open lesions, proportion of stent failure to overlap, with statistically significant difference[(0.12±0.04) vs (0.10±0.03); 80.49% vs 85.49%; 2.44% vs 2.54%; 1.22% vs 2.54%, all P>0.05]. There were no significant differences in CD, X-ray time and DAP in SBS group compared with IVUS group [(1 394.18±42.29)Gy/cm 2 vs (1 391.82±45.06)Gy/cm 2; (18.79±3.01)min vs (18.95±3.12)min, (100.24±5.70)Gy/cm 2 vs (99.47±5.93)Gy/cm 2; all P>0.05]. The operation time in SBS group was shorter than that in IVUS group [(70.91±6.51)min vs (73.89±8.95)min, P<0.05], and the operation cost was less than that in IVUS group [(2.98±0.86)ten thousand yuan vs (3.85±0.81)ten thousand yuan, P<0.05]. After 18 months of follow-up after PCI, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no significant difference in MACE event-free survival between SBS group and IVUS group (91.46% vs 94.07%, Log Rank=0.480, P=0.489). Conclusions:SBS is a kind of convenient and effective technique in guiding PCI in patients with complex coronary lesions without increasing operation time and radiation dose, which can achieve the same effect as IVUS guidance.

Objective:To investivate the relationship of serum estradiol and oxidative stress with microcirculation resistance in women with syndrome X.Methods:A total of 120 patients with syndrome X who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology in Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were enrolled. All patients underwent coronary angiography and pressure wire examination and were divided into two groups according to the index of microcirculation resistance (IMR). Forty healthy people in the medical examination center were used as controls in the same period. The level of serum estradiol, interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured among three groups.Results:The rate of diabetes mellitus in high IMR group was higher than that in control group and low IMR group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between low IMR group and control group ( P>0.05). The levels of serum estradiol and SOD were significantly lower in high IMR group than those in low IMR group and control group. The levels of IL-1 and TNF-α were significantly higher in high IMR group than those in low IMR group and control group ( P<0.05). These indexes have the same relationship between low-IMR group and control group ( P<0.05). The level of serum estradiol was negatively correlated with the levels of IL-1 and TNF-α in high and low IMR groups and positively correlated with the level of SOD in these groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, low serum estradiol level, low SOD level, high IL-1 level, high TNF-α level were the independent risk factors for microcirculation resistance in women with syndrome X ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The decreased serum estradiol is an important factor for coronary microcirculation disorders in women with syndrome X. The decrease of serum estradiol level leads to the loss of the corresponding antagonistic effect in oxidative stress state, which may be one of the important mechanisms of the formation and progress of coronary microcirculation disorder.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in infants in Lishui, and summarize the related factors of CMV infection, evaluate its influence on the growth and development of infants, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of CMV infection.Methods:In this study, 2 254 cases of infants admitted in pediatric ward in Lishui Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Qingtian County People′s Hospital, Suichang County People′s Hospital, Qingyuan County People′s Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 with integral clinical data were selected. All the babies were followed up from the time when they were born to 1 year old. The serum CMV antibody and the urine CMV-DNA were screened, the general situation and clinical features of CMV infection were summarized, and the relevant factors of infants CMV infection were analyzed and screened by the single factor and multiple factors analysis. They were followed up to 1 year old to clarify the influence of CMV infection on the growth and development of infants.Results:From 2015 to 2017, the total positive infection rate of CMV-IgM in infants under 1 year old in Lishui was 10.43%(235/2 254), and CMV-IgM positive infection decreased year by year. The positive rate of CMV-IgG did not change significantly with time. The positive rate of CMV-IgM was the highest at 1—3 months, and up to 15.29% (61/399). The positive rate of CMV-IgM decreased with the age of the babies. The positive rate of CMV-IgG increased with the age of the babies. The positive rate of CMV-IgM in infants showed no significant difference in gender ( P>0.05). The positive rate of CMV-IgM was higher in men than that in women [65.43% (810/1 238) vs. 55.51% (564/1 016)], and there was significant difference ( P<0.05). The gestational age of the infected group was lower than that of the non-infected group [(37.41 ± 1.63) weeks vs. (38.97 ± 0.97) weeks], and the breast-feeding rate of the infected group was higher than that of the non-infected group [57.87%(136/235) vs. 40.00%(40/100)], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Thrombocytopenia, the increase of transaminase, necrotizing enterocolitis of newborn, and hepatosplenomegaly of infected group is higher that of the non-infected group [18.72%(44/235) vs. 1.00% (1/100), 29.36% (69/235) vs. 13.00% (13/100), 26.81% (63/235) vs. 10.00% (10/100), 9.79% (23/235) vs. 0], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Gestational age and breast-feeding were possible risk factors for CMV infection in infants under 1 year old ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in height, weight, head circumference and intelligence score between the infected group and the non-infected group at the age of 1 year ( P>0.05). The total abnormal rate of hearing development and the abnormal detection rate of B-ultrasound in the infected group were higher than those in the non-infected group [13.62%(64/470) vs. 1.00%(2/200), 6.38%(15/235) vs. 0], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The CMV active infection rate of infants under 1 year old in Lishui is relatively high and decreases year by year. It decreases with the prolongation of birth time, and there is no gender difference. Gestational age and breast-feeding are the risk factors for active CMV infection in infants. CMV infection affects the hearing development and the brain development of infants under 1 year old, which is the main cause of hepatitis. It is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of CMV infection, strengthen maternal perinatal health care, and strengthen the screening of CMV infection in high-risk groups.

Objective Investigation of the significance for applying the percentage of neutrophils, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio combined with contrast enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnose of coronary artery disease through examining the percentage of neutrophils, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio on peripheral blood. Methods 130 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS group) , 90 patients with stable angina (SAP group) and 50 nonCAD patients (control group were observed. The neutrophils counts of all the patients were detected and Neut％, NLR were calculated; all the patients were asked to examine enhanced carotid contrast echocardiography. The plaque enhancement (DE) , and luminal enhancement ratio (Ratio) were recorded. The differences in neut％, NLR and CEUS were compared among the three groups. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between Ratio and Neut％, NLR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of Neut％, NLR and CEUS for ACS. Results (1) The value of Neut％, NLR of the peripheral blood, DE, and Ratio in both ACS group and SAP group were higher than those in control group, and the value of ACS group was higher than that in SAP group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); (2) The analysis of Linear correlation showed that the ratio of CEUS in ACS patients was positively correlated with Neut％ (r = 0.422, P = 0.001) and NLR (r = 0.407, P = 0.001). (3) The ROC results showed that circulating Neut％, NLR and DE, Ratio play a significant role in the diagnose of unstable plague in CAD patients; (4) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Neut％, NLR, DE, Ratio were independent indicators of the ACS patients (P< 0.05 or P < 0.01).Conclusions Contrast enhanced carotid examination combined with leukocyte analysis on peripheral blood were useful to detect plaque instability and inflammatory response in CAD patients, and it also provide lots of objective evidence for predicting and intervening unstable plaque in CAD patients.

Objective To investigate the value of baseline levels of aldosterone(ALD)in predicting the cardiovascular events and in-stent restenosis12 months after coronary stent implantation. Methods 268 patients with coronary heart disease admitted to the department of cardiology from January 2014 to July 2016 were selected (96 cases of stable angina pectoris and 172 cases of acute coronary syndrome).The ALD level in the preprocedural serum was detected before coronary stent implantation. According to the level of ALD,the patients were divided into two groups:ALD<130 pg/mL(n=127)and ALD≥130 pg/mL(n=141).The cardiovascular events(angina pectoris,myocardial infarction,death)and in-stent restenosis were observed and recorded 12 months after the procedures. Logistic regression analysis was done to analyze the independent risk factors of ISR. Results The baseline levels of ALD in the patients with acute coronary syndrome were significantly higher than those with stable angina pectoris[(160 ± 58)pg/mL vs.(118 ± 46)pg/mL,P < 0.05]. The cardiovascular events and those in in-stent restenosis in the patients with high baseline levels of ALD were significantly higher than those with normal baseline levels of ALD 12 months too(24.1% vs 3.1%;P<0.05;16% vs 7.4%;P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that serum ALD levels were the strongest predictors of ISR,with the odds ratio of 2.56 per 10 pg/mL. Conclusions Preprocedural ALD level is a predictor for 12 months outcome of in-stent restenosis for the patents undergoing coronary stent implantation. It indicates that the complications and clinical restenosis in 12 months are markedly influenced by the activation of the rennin angiotensin aldostenone system.
