ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop the anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody 64Cu-1, 4, 7-trizacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-CD30 and visualize CD30 expression in lymphoma non-invasively. Methods:The CD30 expression levels of 5 cell lines (Karpas299, Raji, Daudi, Ramos, and U266) were assessed by Western blot. Cell lines with high and low CD30 expression were selected for flow cytometry to evaluate the specific binding affinity of anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody. Thirteen NSG mice were used to established CD30 positive and negative subcutaneous xenograft models. 64Cu-NOTA-CD30 was obtained and 64Cu-NOTA-immunoglobulin (Ig)G was used as the control. ImmunoPET imaging was performed 2, 24, and 48 h after the injection of 64Cu-NOTA-CD30 or 64Cu-NOTA-IgG. Finally, the biodistribution studies were conducted. Repeated-measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni test were conducted for comparison. Results:Karpas299 showed the highest CD30 expression, while Raji showed the lowest. Flow cytometry showed specific binding affinity of the anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody to the Karpas299 cell line. The radiochemical purities of the probes were both higher than 95%. In microPET, the 64Cu-NOTA-CD30 uptake of Karpas299 xenograft tumors increased over time, with (11.46±0.58), (17.60±1.16) and (19.46±0.99) percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) at 2, 24 and 48 h respectively. The contrast to normal tissue was good at 48 h, with the tumor/heart (blood) ratio of 2.20±0.22. The uptake of 64Cu-NOTA-CD30 in Karpas299 tumor at 48 h after injection was significantly higher than that in Raji tumor ((6.10±1.03) %ID/g) and 64Cu-NOTA-IgG in Karpas299 tumor ((5.12±0.89) %ID/g; F=290.99, t values: 19.65 and 22.25, all P<0.001). The uptake of 64Cu-NOTA-CD30 and the control probe in the heart and liver decreased over time in all groups. Ex vivo biodistribution at 48 h was mainly consistent with the results of microPET in vivo. Conclusions:64Cu-NOTA-CD30 is able to visualize the expression level and distribution of CD30 non-invasively. It is promising to be applied for screening the beneficial groups and evaluating efficacy for CD30-targeted immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the value of generative adversarial networks-based PET image reconstruction in improving the quality of low-dose 18F-FDG PET images and lesion detection in pediatric patients. Methods:Retrospective analysis of 61 PET images of children (38 males, 23 females, age (4.0±3.5) years) who underwent 18F-FDG total-body PET/CT imaging in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2021 to December 2021 was performed. The low-dose images (30 s, 20 s, 10 s) of all children extracted by list mode were input into the generative adversarial networks for deep learning (DL) reconstruction to obtain the corresponding simulated standard full-dose images (DL-30 s, DL-20 s, DL-10 s). The semi-quantitative parameters of the liver blood pool and primary lesion of standard full-dose 120 s, 30 s, 20 s, 10 s, DL-30 s, DL-20 s, and DL-10 s images were measured. The target-to-background ratio (TBR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and CV were calculated. The 5-point Likert scale was used for subjective scoring of image quality, and the detective abilities for positive lesions of each groups were compared. The sensitivities and positive predictive values of positive lesions detection were calculated. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test and χ2 test were used for data analyses. Results:CNR of the 30 s, 20 s, and 10 s groups were lower than those of DL-30 s, DL-20 s, and DL-10 s groups, respectively ( z values: -3.58, -3.20, -3.65, all P<0.05). Score of DL-10 s group was significantly lower than those of 120 s, DL-30 s and DL-20 s groups (4(3, 4), 5(4, 5), 4(4, 5), 4(4, 5); H=97.70, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in TBR, CNR, CV, SUV max and SUV mean of lesions and liver blood pool in 120 s, DL-30 s, DL-20 s, and DL-10 s groups ( H values: 0.00-6.76, all P>0.05). The sensitivities of positive lesion detection in DL-30 s, DL-20 s, and DL-10 s groups were 97.83%(225/230), 96.96%(223/230), 95.65%(220/230), respectively, and the positive predictive values were 96.57%(225/233), 93.70%(223/238), 84.94%(220/259), respectively. The positive predictive value in DL-10 s group was lower than those in DL-30 s and DL-20 s groups ( χ2=23.51, P<0.001). There were more false-positive and false-negative lesions detected by DL-10 s group than those of DL-30 s and DL-20 s groups in different sites. Conclusion:Based on the generative adversarial networks, the image quality of DL-20 s group is high and can meet the clinical diagnostic requirements.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is often used for detecting malignancy in patients with newly diagnosed hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), with acceptable sensitivity but relatively low specificity. The aim of this study was to improve the diagnostic ability of 18F-FDG PET/CT in identifying malignancy in patients with HLH by combining 18F-FDG PET/CT and clinical parameters. @*Materials and Methods@#Ninety-seven patients (age ≥ 14 years) with secondary HLH were retrospectively reviewed and divided into the derivation (n = 71) and validation (n = 26) cohorts according to admission time. In the derivation cohort, 22 patients had malignancy-associated HLH (M-HLH) and 49 patients had non-malignancy-associated HLH (NM-HLH). Data on pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT and laboratory results were collected. The variables were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test or Pearson’s chi-square test, and a nomogram for predicting M-HLH was constructed using multivariable binary logistic regression. The predictors were also ranked using decision-tree analysis. The nomogram and decision tree were validated in the validation cohort (10 patients with M-HLH and 16 patients with NM-HLH). @*Results@#The ratio of the maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the lymph nodes to that of the mediastinum, the ratio of the SUVmax of bone lesions or bone marrow to that of the mediastinum, and age were selected for constructing the model. The nomogram showed good performance in predicting M-HLH in the validation cohort, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.875 (95% confidence interval, 0.686–0.971). At an appropriate cutoff value, the sensitivity and specificity for identifying M-HLH were 90% (9/10) and 68.8% (11/16), respectively. The decision tree integrating the same variables showed 70% (7/10) sensitivity and 93.8% (15/16) specificity for identifying M-HLH. In comparison, visual analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT images demonstrated 100% (10/10) sensitivity and 12.5% (2/16) specificity. @*Conclusion@#18F-FDG PET/CT may be a practical technique for identifying M-HLH. The model constructed using 18F-FDG PET/CT features and age was able to detect malignancy with better accuracy than visual analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT images.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop a neural network model for the evaluation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on multilayer perceptual neural network, and to compare with the improved Chinese based creatinine GFR evaluation formula (C-GFR cr) and the evaluation formula (EPI-GFR cr) of the American Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) for the clinical applicability of multilayer perceptual neural network model in evaluating GFR. Methods:A total of 684 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients used for developing a modified version of China′s based creatinine GFR evaluation formula were taken as the research object. The data of 454 patients were randomly selected as the development group and the data of the other 230 patients were as the verification group. The multilayer perceptual neural network GFR evaluation model (M-GFR cr) was established. With the double plasma GFR as the reference value (rGFR), the correlation, mean difference, mean absolute difference, precision and accuracy of C-GFR cr, EPI-GFR cr and M-GFR cr were compared. Results:Among the 684 CKD patients, there were 352 males and 332 females, with age of (49.9±15.8) years. The correlation between M-GFR cr and rGFR was the highest (Pearson correlation =0.93, P<0.001). The mean difference of M-GFR cr was lower than that of C-GFR cr ( Z=9.929, P<0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( Z=10.573, P<0.001). The mean absolute difference of M-GFR cr was also lower than that of C-GFR cr ( Z=3.953, P<0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( Z=4.210, P<0.001). The accuracy of ±15% of M-GFR cr was higher than that of C-GFR cr ( χ2=26.068, P<0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( χ2=23.154, P<0.001). The accuracy of ±30% of M-GFR cr was also higher than that of C-GFR cr ( χ2=8.264, P=0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( χ2=11.963, P=0.001). The results of different stages of CKD showed that in the early stage of CKD (CKD 1-2), the mean difference of M-GFR cr was lower than that of C-GFR cr ( Z=7.401, P<0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( Z=8.096, P<0.001); the mean absolute difference of M-GFR cr was also lower than that of C-GFR cr ( Z=4.723, P<0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( Z=4.946, P<0.001); the accuracy of ±15% of M-GFR cr was higher than that of C-GFR cr ( χ2=23.547, P<0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( χ2=26.421, P<0.001); the accuracy of ±30% of M-GFR cr was also higher than that of C-GFR cr ( χ2=12.089, P=0.001) and EPI-GFR cr ( χ2=16.168, P<0.001). But there was no significant difference in the applicability among C-GFR cr, EPI-GFR cr and M-GFR cr in the advanced stages of CKD (CKD 3-5). Conclusion:Compared with the improved Chinese based creatinine GFR evaluation formula C-GFR cr and CKD-EPI evaluation formula EPI-GFR cr, the accuracy of multilayer perceptual neural network model to evaluate GFR in CKD patients has been significantly improved, especially in CKD 1-2 stage.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of radiomics based on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in predicting the Children′s Oncology Group (COG) risk stratification of neuroblastoma (NB). Methods:From March 2018 to November 2019, the 18F-FDG PET/CT images of 125 NB children (51 males, 74 females, age: 0.5-10.5 years) confirmed pathologically in Beijing Friendship Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the COG classification, patients were divided into high-risk group and non-high-risk group (including low- and intermediate-risk). Imaging radiomics features were extracted from PET and CT images and screened. Logistic regression was used to build the first model based on radiomics features (R_model) and calculate radiomics score (Rad_score), then build the second model (RD_model) based on Rad_score and demographic features and at last build the third model (RDC_modle) based on Rad_score, demographic features and clinical features. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of these models. Results:The training set contained 94 NB cases (63 high-risk cases, 31 non-high-risk cases), and the validation set contained 31 NB cases (21 high-risk cases, 10 non-high-risk cases). Four radiomics features were obtained by screening, of which two features were based on CT images and the other two features were based on PET images. The area under the curves (AUCs) of the R_model, RD_model and RDC_model in training or validation set were 0.91, 0.94, 0.98 or 0.86, 0.92, 0.95, respectively. The accuracies of the R_model, RD_model and RDC_model in training or validation set were 86%(81/94), 89%(84/94), 93%(87/94) or 84%(26/31), 84%(26/31), 87%(27/31), respectively.Conclusions:Radiomics based on 18F-FDG PET/CT can accurately predict the COG risk stratification of NB. Prediction model of radiomics features combined with demographic and clinical characteristics can further improve the accuracy of predicting NB COG risk stratification, which can help personalized and precise therapy protocol management in NB.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To identify factors of diuretic renography for predicting the therapeutic effect in management of children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) after Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty.Methods:Between January 2016 and January 2020, 170 children (136 males and 34 females, age: (57.3±51.8) months; UPJO of 130 in left and 40 in right) who were diagnosed as UPJO by diuretic renography and followed up for more than twice in Beijing Friendship Hospital were retrospectively collected. Patients′ information including age, gender, symptoms, affected side, types of operation, pre and post diuretic renography and urinary ultrasound, duration of clinical follow-up were collected. Patients were divided into improvement group and no change/deterioration group according to the comprehensive evaluation indicators including postoperative follow-up, urinary ultrasound and diuretic renography. Clinical characteristics of 2 groups were compared by using independent-sample t test and χ2 test. Predictors of therapeutic effect after Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty were analyzed by logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of independent prognostic factors were further constructed. Results:After pyeloplasty in 170 children of UPJO, they were divided into improvement group ( n=131) and no change/deterioration group ( n=39). The differential renal fraction (DRF) and response to furosemide stimulation (RFS) before pyeloplasty were significantly different between 2 groups ( t=-2.083, χ2=12.870, both P<0.05). Age (odds ratio ( OR)=1.272, 95% CI: 1.015-1.537), DRF ( OR=12.584, 95% CI: 1.119-24.543) and RFS ( OR=11.727, 95% CI: 2.263-60.780) before pyeloplasty were related to the therapeutic effect of UPJO children after pyeloplasty (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis identified DRF ( OR=9.770, 95% CI: 1.800-19.356) and RFS ( OR=10.599, 95% CI: 2.012-55.830) before pyeloplasty were independent predictors of therapeutic effect of UPJO children after pyeloplasty (both P<0.05). DRF and RFS combination predicted efficacy with a sensitivity of 85.7%(96/112), specificity of 63.8%(37/58), and area under curve of 0.735 (95% CI: 0.66-0.80). Conclusion:DRF and RFS after pyeloplasty, which reflecting renal function and upper urinary tract drainage, are important for the timing of surgery and postoperative outcome evaluation in children with UPJO.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical value of 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) SPECT/CT imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric patients with neuroblastoma ( NB) . Methods A total of 196 NB patients (103 males, 93 females;age 1-14 years) who underwent 123I-MIBG SPECT/CT imaging in Beijing Friendship Hospital between February 2018 and December 2018 were reviewed retrospec-tively. All patients underwent whole-body planar imaging and local SPECT/CT imaging. According to the clinical data and 123 I-MIBG imaging results, patients were divided into 3 groups ( group 1: patients under-went preoperative planar imaging; group 2: patients with positive results in postoperative planar imaging;group 3:patients with negative results in postoperative planar imaging). The final diagnosis was made ac-cording to pathological results, other related imaging results and clinical follow-up results. The diagnostic consistency between planar imaging or SPECT/CT imaging and final diagnosis in each group was calculated and compared using χ2 test. Results For group 1 ( n=34) , the diagnostic consistencies of planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging with the final diagnosis were 38.2%(13/34) and 82.4%(28/34) respectively (χ2=13.82, P<0.01), while those were 13.3%(12/90) and 74.4%(67/90) for group 2 (n=90;χ2=68.24, P<0. 01). In these two groups, SPECT/CT imaging improved the planar imaging results by 44.12%(15/34) and 61.11%(55/90) respectively. For group 3 (n=72), the diagnostic consistencies of planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging with the final diagnosis were 88.9%(64/72) and 94.4%(68/72;χ2=1.45, P>0.05), and planar imaging results in only 5.56%(4/72) patients were improved by SPECT/CT imaging. Conclu-sions For patients undergoing preoperative imaging and those with positive results in postoperative planar imaging, SPECT/CT imaging should be added. For patients with negative results in postoperative planar im-aging, unnecessary SPECT/CT imaging should be limited.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the possibility of establishment of an animal model of hydronephrosis by ureteropelvic junction obstruction,and to evaluate the value of CT perfusion imaging in assessment of the renal function in the animal models. Method Fifty 10-week-old male New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups:sham-operated group with separation of the left ureter (20 rabbits),and model group (30 rabbits) with the left ureter embedded at the ureteropelvic junction under the psoas major muscle. The left kidney function in the two groups was confirmed to be normal by SPECT before operation. CT perfusion and SPECT imagings were performed to assess the left kidney function in the two groups at three months after surgery,and the results were compared with that of pathological examination. Statistical analysis was performed on the parameters of SPECT and CT perfusion imaging and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results The success rate of model establishment was 70%,showing pathological changes of chronic hydronephrosis. CT perfusion demonstrated that BF,BV,PS of the left renal cortex and medulla were decreased,and had a good positive correlation with the changes of GFR. Conclusions It is feasible to establish a rabbit model of chronic hydronephrosis by embedding the left ureter at ureteropelvic junction under the psoas major muscle,and CT perfusion imaging parameters can be used to evaluate the renal function in the animal models.

ABSTRACT

Bone metastasis occurs as a result of a complex pathophysiologic process between host and tumor cells leading to cellular invasion, migration adhesion, and stimulation of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity. Several sequences occur as a result of osseous metastases and resulting bone pain can lead to significant debilitation. Pain associated with osseous metastasis is thought to be distinct from neuropathic or inflammatory pain. Several mechanisms, such as invasion of tumor cells, spinal cord astrogliosis,and sensitization of nervous system, have been postulated to cause pain. Pharmaceutical therapy of bone pain includes nonsteroidal analgesics and opiates. These drags are associated with side effects, and tolerance to these agents necessitates treatment with other modalities. Bisphosphonates act by inhibiting osteoclast-mediated resorption and have been increasingly used in treatment of painful bone metastasis. While external beam radiation therapy remains the mainstay of pain palliation of solitary lesions, bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals have entered the therapeutic armamentarium for the treatment of multiple painful osseous lesions. 32p has been used for over 3 decades in the treatment of multiple osseous metastases. The myelosuppression caused by this agent has led to the development of other bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals, including 89SrCl, and 153Sm-ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid (153Sm-EDTMP). 89Sr is a bone-seeking radionuclide, whereas 153Sm-EDTMP is a bone-seeking tetraphosphonate; both have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of painful osseous metastases. While both agents have been shown to have efficacy in the treatment of painful osseous metastases from prostate cancer, they may also have utility in the treatment of painful osseous metastases from breast cancer and perhaps from non-small cell lung cancer. This article illustrates the salient features of these radiopharmaceuticals, including the approved dose, method of administration, and indications for use.
