ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the critical value of TSH-stimulated Tg(sTg) in the diagnosis of metastasis from DTC, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of the ratio of sTg to suppressed Tg (sTg/suppressed Tg).Methods A total of 330 post-operative DTC patients(87 males, 243 females, age range: 12-70 years)who underwent thyroid remnant ablation from August 2008 to December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.Their serum TgAb levels were normal.The patients were divided into non-metastasis group(147 cases)and metastasis group(183 cases) according to results of ultrasonography, CT and WBS.The difference of sTg between the two groups were compared by Mann-Whitney rank sum test.ROC curve was used to analyze the relationship between sTg, sTg/suppressed Tg ratio and metastasis, the cutoff value was calculated.Results The sTg was significantly different between the non-metastasis group and metastasis group: 1.0 (0.1, 2.0) μg/L vs 36.5 (3.9, 126.7) μg/L;u=-6.642, P<0.05.The AUC for ROC curve in metastasis group was 0.85, and the cutoff value was 2.05 μg/L, with the sensitivity 85.2%, specificity 67.3%, and accuracy 82.3%.While sTg<2.05 μg/L, the AUC of sTg/suppressed Tg ratio was 0.941, and the cutoff value was 4.3, with the sensitivity 93.3%, specificity 88.2%, and accuracy 92.3%.Conclusions The sTg has a specific value for the diagnosis of metastasis from DTC after operation and the cutoff value is 2.05 μg/L in this set of patients.The ratio of sTg/suppressed Tg could be used to correct the sTg and to improve the diagnostic sensitivity.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and influencing factors of 131I treatment for cervical lymph node metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods Eighty-nine post-operative PTC patients (24 males,65 females,11-72 years) with cervical lymph nodes as the only site of metastasis (negative serum TgAb,1-4 times of 131I treatment) on 131I planar Rx-WBS or SPECT/CT were retrospectively reviewed.Results of 131I Rx-WBS or SPECT/CT,serum Tg levels under both TSH-suppressed and TSH-stimulated conditions were measured and recorded.CR and PR were recognized as effective therapy.x2 test and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.Results The effective rate of 1-4 times of 131I treatment was 57.30%(51/89),73.03%(65/89),80.90%(72/89),83.15%(74/89),respectively (x2=18.792,P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis suggested that therapeutic effectiveness was related to the size of metastatic lymph nodes and whether metastatic lymph nodes could be visualized on the post-ablative 131I Rx-WBS or SPECT/CT.Conclusions 131I treatment is an effective modality for PTC patients with cervical lymph nodes as the only site of metastasis.The cumulative effective rate increased within a limited times of treatment.The size of metastatic lymph nodes and whether metastatic lymph nodes could be visualized on the first post-ablative 131I Rx-WBS or SPECT/CT are the key factors for the therapeutic effectiveness.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intracoronary,antologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation on the patients with chronic heart failure.Methods Eighty patients with chronic heart failure were assigned into bone marrow cell transplantation group (n=48) and control group (n=32),with intmcomnary delivery of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell suspension or not respectively,in addifion to conventional treatment.The left venlrieular ejection fractions (LVEF),the level of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),and the siges of myocardial perfusion defect were measured and compared with useing single photom emission computed tomography (SPECT) and echocardiography before and after the treatment.Results The one year follow-up results showed that LVEF increased from base-line (42.1±5.8)%,(43.9±6.7)% to (54.1±4.8)%,(49.8±7.7)% by echocardiography.The plasma levels of BNP decreased from base-line (699±101)ng/L,(687±95)ng/L to (305±78)ng/L,(399±89)ng/L,and the size of myocardial perfusion defect decreased from bese-line (26.8±8.6)%,(26.3±6.5)% to (15.8±4.3)%,(20.5±7.8)% in bone marrow cell transplantation group and control group respectively,the absolute changes were statistically significant.During and after the procedure of bone marrow cell transplantation group,there was no complication occurring. Conclusion Intmcoronary autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation for treating patients with chronic heart failure results in improvement in left ventricular systolic function and myocardial perfusion,and this therapy is safe and feasible.

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect the clinical value of evaluating myocardial viability in patients with old myocardial infaretion(OMI) by measuring myocardial isovolumie contraction motion indices with tissue Doppler imaging(TDI) under the quiescent condition. Methods The myocardial isovolumic contraction motion indices of 30 normal subjects and 30 patients with OMI were examined by TDI. The sample gate was located at left ventricular postero-septal,lateral,anterior,inferior,antero-septal and posterior walls in basal and middle segments separately. The peak positive and negative veiocities(VIVC1 ,VIVC2 ) during myocardial isovohimic contraction phase, and the difference(DIVC) between VIVC1 and VIVC2 were measured, which were analysed combined with the viable fraction(VF) calculated by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Results VIVC1, DIVC were significantly decreased,and VIVC2 was significantly increased in infarct zones of patients with OMI than those of the normal subjects( P <0.05). Compared with normal subjects, myocardial isovolumic contraction motion indices of non-infarct wails in patients with OMI were steady( P >0.05). In OMI group,DIVC of short axis was significantly decreased than that in long axis( P <0.05). Statistic analysis showed that DIVC values on both of short and long axis had significant positive correlations with VF derived from SPECT,and the correlation coefficients were 0. 837 ( P<0. 001) and 0. 797( P<0. 001 ) ,respectively. The sensibility and specificity of evaluating viable myocardium was 75% and 75% separately supposing the cutoff of DIVC on short axis was more than - 1.50,and the sensibility and specificity was 77. 8% and 87.5% separately if the cutoff of DIVC on long axis was more than 0.92. Conclusions Myocardial isovolumic contraction's TDI of infarct zones in patients with OMI had characteristic changes. DIVC on both of short and long axis could be as a new method of evaluating myocardial viability.
