Objective:To compare the performance of 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT and MRI in preoperative diagnosis and staging of primary prostate cancer. Methods:Twenty-four patients with prostate cancer, who underwent preoperative 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and prostate MRI in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between April 2018 and December 2019, were retrospectively enrolled. The pathological and follow-up results were considered as the gold standard, and diagnostic efficiencies of the 2 imaging methods were compared per patient and per type of lesions (seminal vesicle invasion, bladder neck invasion, lymph node metastasis and bone metastasis). The χ2 test was used for data analysis. Results:Prostate cancer was confirmed by pathology in 24 patients, including 6 cases with both seminal vesicle and bladder neck invasion, 5 cases with seminal vesicle invasion and 3 cases with invasion of bladder neck. Gleason scores in patients were as follow: 7 in 9 patients, 8-9 in 15 patients. The detection rates of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and MRI for primary prostate cancer were both 100%(24/24). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and MRI for detecting seminal vesicle invasion were 10/11, 13/13, 95.8%(23/24) and 9/11, 11/13, 83.3%(20/24), respectively. The specificity and accuracy were significantly different ( χ2 values: 6.231, 13.470, both P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and MRI for detecting bladder invasion, which were 7/9, 13/15, 83.3%(20/24) and 3/9, 14/15, 70.8%(17/24), respectively, were not significantly different( χ2 values: 1.285, 0.164, 2.880, all P>0.05). Furthermore, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for detecting pelvic lymph node metastasis were 11/11, 13/13 and 100%(24/24), respectively, and those of MRI for evaluating pelvic lymph node metastasis were 6/11, 11/13 and 70.8%(17/24), and the specificity of the 2 methods were significantly different ( χ2=6.231, P<0.05). All the 5 patients with pelvic bone metastasis were positive on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging, but only 2 of them were positive on MRI. Information from 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT changed pelvic TNM stage in 41.7%(10/24) patients who underwent MRI for initial staging. Conclusions:68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging and MRI can both accurately detect intermediate- to high-risk primary prostate cancer and seminal vesicle invasion. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging is superior to MRI for evaluating lymph nodes and bone metastasis. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT provides high accuracy for preoperative diagnosing and staging intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer.
ABSTRACT
Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) overexpresses in most prostate cancer (PCa) lesions and plays an important role in the early diagnosis and preoperative staging,clinical decision making,recurrence and metastasis detection as well as targeted therapy.Radionuclide (especially 68Ga and 177Lu) labeled multiple small molecule inhibitors of PSMA have been wildly used in SPECT,PET imaging on PCa,and play an important role in the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).This review summarizes the development in these fields.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Currently, there is no uniform, standardized approach to isolate, purify and proliferate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Chlormethylbenzamido-1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine (CM-Dil) is a stable, reliable, high marking and simple marker. OBJECTIVE:To develop the methods for isolation, culture and identification of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. METHODS:Two male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 50-100 g were taken to col ect the bilateral femur and tibia bone marrow under sterile conditions, and then, primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured using bone marrow adherent separation and density gradient centrifugation. cells were amplified and purified through timely and repeated passage, and labeled at the third generation with fluorescent dyes CM-Dil in vitro as a source of donor cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured successful y in vitro using bone marrow adherent separation and density gradient centrifugation separation methods, but the former was superior to the latter in the number of cultured cells significantly, while the two methods were not different significantly in terms of cellviability and proliferation. Flow cytometry results showed that the positive rates of cultured cells were 17.5%for CD34, 97.9%for CD44, and 91%for CD90. CM-Dil can label bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells successful y, which is a stable, reliable, high marking and simple marker.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: It was uncertain that the migration, differentiation and survival of transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into myocardium after the acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the migration, differentiation and survival of rabbit transplanted autologous BMSCs in myocardium after the acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: Rabbit BMSCs were isolated and labeled by DAPI in vitro. Rabbit left anterior descending branch was ligated to establish acute myocardial infarction models. Following successful model establishment, 30 New Zealand rabbits were assigned to BMSC and control groups (n = 15). In the BMSC group, autologous BMSCs were infused into the surrounding sites of the infracted region by 4 points 1 hour following coronary artery ligation. In the control group, the same region was injected with an equal volume of saline. Injection volume was 30 μL in each point. Five animals from each group were sacrificed 10 minutes, 3 days and 4 weeks following transplantation. The heart was obtained to undergo frozen sections. The distribution of DAPI-labeled BMSCs was observed using fluorescence microscope. Immunofluorescence method was used to examine the troponin Ⅰ and α-actin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: DAPI-labeled BMSCs with blue nuclei were distributed extensively in the myocardium of the cell transplantation group, ovoid in shape and arranged in parallel with the cardiac muscle fibers. Troponin Ⅰ and α-actin were positive immunofluorescently in the cytoplasm of the labeled BMSCs. Results indicated that transplanted BMSCs in the ischemic myocardium could differentiate into myocardial cells under stimulation of local microenvironment.
ABSTRACT
Morbidity of myocardial infarction is increasing.Owing to the lack of replacement of necrotic cardiac myocytes,the therapeutic methods today are not sufficient to prevent left ventricular remodeling.However,the current insights into stem cell have opened up new perspectives for the infracted heart.Varied stem cells,including embryonic or foetal stem cells,myoblasts,and bone marrow stem cells,have been used for(cellular cardiomyoplasty.The review discusses recent animal experimental data and the clinical potential of varied stem cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To further prove the multipotentiality of rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by inducing it into cardiomyocytes with 5-azacytidine. Methods MSCs from rabbit were abstracted, isolated, cultured. Then MSCs were induced by 5-azacytidine in vitro for 24 hours. After cultured for 4 weeks, MSCs’ differentiation was studied by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy technique. Results Some of MSCs induced by 5-azacytidine expressed troponinT . Electron microscopy showed myofilaments. Conclusion MSCs which exist in bone marrow are mutipotential stem cells, and they can be induced into cardiomyocytes by 5-azacytidine in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of ramipril on nitric oxide(NO) concentration and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) activation in lung of rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension induced by monocrotaline(MCT).Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group,MCT group and ramipril group.Rats in MCT group and ramipril group were subcutaneously injected with 60mg/kg of MCT.Then the rats in ramipril group received ramipril gavage and rats in MCT group received normal saline gavage for 4 weeks,respectively.Rats in control group were subcutaneously injected with normal saline first and then received normal saline gavage for 4 weeks.Right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP) and right ventricle hypertrophy index(RVHI) were measured.The ratio of arteriol wall thickness/vascular external diameter(WT%) and wall area percentage(WA%) were evaluated.NO concentration in lung was determined.eNOS,P-Ser1177-eNOS and Akt phosphorylation were analyzed by Western blotting.Results The RVSP,RVHI,WT%,WA% were significantly increased,and NO concentration,the level of eNOS,P-Ser1177-eNOS,the state of Akt phosphorylation were significantly decreased in MCT group compared with that in control group(P
