RESUMO
Objective:To establish a chemiluminescence immunoassay method for free metanephrines measurement in plasma, and verify its performance.Methods:The samples (calibrator, plasma, and quality control sample) were extracted and acylated, the processed analyte samples were then competed with the immobilized specific antigens of metanephrine (MN), normetanephrine (NMN) respectively, to combine specific antibodies marked by Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP), the immobilized antigens-antibody-HRP immune reaction product was then formed through the immune reaction, which could be detected through measurement of HRP catalytic substrate luminescence. Performance verification was performed using specificity, sensitivity,precision,thermally accelerated stability, and accuracy metrics.Results:The established detection methods for MN and NMN have no obvious cross-reactions when detecting multiple structural analogs; the limit of blank, limit of detection and functional sensitivity of the MN detection reagent was 10.51, 21.15 and 25.76 ng/L, and the performance of the NMN detection reagent was 11.54, 28.43 and 31.29 ng/L; the coefficients of variation of the detection reagents for MN and NMN were 2.41%-5.38% and 1.61%-3.22% respectively; the accelerated stability test of the two detection reagents showed that the reagents could be stored stably for 1 year at 2-8 ℃; and the measurement results of this method can be traced to the mass spectrometer.Conclusion:In this study, a chemiluminescence immunoassay detection method for free metanephrines in plasma is successfully established.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To present the surgical outcomes of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) since the implementation of a personalized approach and to validate multiple predictive models for R0 resection. METHODS: Personalized strategies included: 1) Non-invasive model: preoperative clinico-radiological assessment according to Suidan criteria with a predictive score for all individuals. Patients with a score 0–2 were recommended for primary debulking surgery (PDS, group A), or otherwise were counseled on the choices of PDS, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC, group B) or staging laparoscopy (S-LPS). 2) Minimally invasive model: S-LPS with a predictive index value (PIV) according to Fagotti. Individuals with a PIV < 8 underwent PDS (group C) or otherwise received NAC (group D). Intraoperative assessment (with Eisenkop, peritoneal cancer index [PCI], and Aletti scores) and surgical results were prospectively collected. RESULTS: Between September 2015 and August 2017, 161 pathologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer patients were included. A total of 52 (32.3%) patients had a predictive score of 0–2, and 109 (67.7%) patients had a score ≥ 3. Among these individuals, 41 (25.5%) patients received S-LPS. Finally, 110 (68.3%) patients underwent PDS (A+C), and 51 (31.7%) patients received NAC (B+D). The R0 resection rates in PDS and NAC patients were 56.4% and 60.8%, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of Suidan criteria was 0.548 for group (A+C). The AUC of Fagotti score was 0.702 for group C. The AUC of Eisenkop, PCI, and Aletti scores were 0.808, 0.797, and 0.524, respectively. CONCLUSION: The Suidan criteria were not effective in these AEOC patients. S-LPS was helpful in decision-making for PDS and should be endorsed in the future.

RESUMO
Background and purpose: One of the main mechanism of chemotherapy is inducing tuomr apoptosis. Molecular imaging can allow noninvasively and dynamically monitor tumor apoptosis in vivo, and help to drug screening and therapeutic evaluation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 in detecting apoptosis at an early phase after chemotheraphy. Methods:Annexin B1 was labeled with 18F using SFB as a chelating agent. Tissue distribution of 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 was studied in healthy mice by the dissection method. W256 tumor-bearing rats were injected with 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 intravenously at 24 h after the treatment of cyclophosphamide (CTX 200 mg/kg) or saline. Then imaging was acquired at 1, 2, 3, and 4 h postinjection on a PET/CT, and the tumor-to-muscle ratio of SUVmax (T/M) and the AI from TUNEL testing were compared. Results: 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 had a radiochemical pruity (RCP)>95%. Biodistribution of this probe showed a predominant uptake in the kidney, then was liver, spleen, and myocardium, rapid clearance from blood and urinary was observed. The radios of T/M were 4.38±0.56, 6.75±1.16, 6.44±1.12, 4.81±0.17, respectively at 1, 2, 3, 4 h post injection of the chemotherapy group, much higher than that of the saline group (2.35±0.14, 2.99±0.55, 3.04±0.41, 2.33±0.47, respectively). The differences between the two groups were significant (F=23.790, 16.913, 14.046, 77.517, respectively, all P<0.05). TUNEL staining revealed that chemotherapy treatment significantly increased the percentage of apoptosis cells with an AI of (21.00±0.04)%in the chemotherapy group, higher than that in the saline group (8.58±0.01)%, the difference was significant (F=21.539, P<0.05). The radios of T/M were significantly correlated with the values of AI (r=0.91, P<0.05). Conclusion: 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 can be used to apoptosis imaging and early therapeutic evaluation in vivo because it can reflect apoptosis at an early stage after chemotheraphy.
RESUMO
Background and purpose:Integrinαvβ3 receptor plays an important role in promoting, sustaining and regulating the angiogenesis. It is overexpressed on neovascular endothelial cells and tumor cells. RGD peptide specifically binds to integrinαvβ3, which could evaluate growth status and invasiveness of tumor. This study aimed to investigate the biodistribution in healthy KM mice and micro PET/CT imaging in U87MG tumor-bearing mice of 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2]. Methods: 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2] was produced using an automated synthesis module via a simple one-step 18F-labeling strategy of the precursor 4-NO2-3-TFMBz-E[c(RGDfK)2]. The percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) was calculated at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 h post injection of the probe. Micro PET/CT images of U87MG tumor-bearing nude mice with or without 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2] blocking were acquired at each time point. Results: The labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity of 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2] were 10% and 98%, respectively. 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2] was excreted via renal route, with a high blood clearance. The other organs had background-level activity accumulation. At 1 h, the%ID/g of kidney, liver, intestine, muscle and blood was (1.02±0.16)%ID/g,(0.24±0.06)%ID/g, (0.35±0.03)%ID/g, (0.13±0.03)%ID/g and (0.11±0.03)%ID/g 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2] had initial high tumor uptake [(5.2±0.56)%ID/g] and good tumor-to-background contrast (5.36) at 1 h post injection. Tumor uptake for blocking group was lower than those without blocking, and T/M reduced to 1.57. Conclusion: 18F-E[c(RGDfK)2] appears a promising PET molecular imaging probe targeting integrin αvβ3, with high tumor uptake. It could be suitable for prognosis evaluation of integrin-positive tumor, selection of vascular targeting therapy and therapy effect monitoring.
RESUMO
Background and purpose: As the most common tracer used for PET/CT to detect malignant tumors. ~(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (~(18)F-FDG) can reflect the metabolism of glucose. However, there exists physiologic uptake in the intestinal tract of healthy people. Because ileocecal foci is predilection site of malignant tumors and inflammatory disease, the purpose of this study was to investigate the discrimination of PET/CT detection of incidental ileocecal high FDG uptake. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 28 unexpected ileocecal focal uptake of ~(18)F-FDG localized by PET/CT, and then semi-quantitatively analyzed the extent of radioactive uptake in ileocecal foci. After PET/CT, the etiology of the findings was confirmed histologically by surgery, endoscopic or by long-term follow-up. All the data were assessed for statistical significance using one-way ANOVA. Results: In all the ileocecal foci, there were 14(50%) physiologic FDG uptake, 8 (28.6%) benign diseases and 6 (21.4%) malignant tumor. Maximal standardized uptake value was 5.2±1.6 in physiologic uptake, 6.8±4.1 in benign lesions and 12.8±5.5 in malignant lesions. There was statistically significant difference between malignant tumors and the other 2 groups. According to ROC analysis, when SUN_(max) was 6.75, the sensitivity and specificity of ileocecal malignant tumor were 100% and 86.4%, respectively. Conclusion: The significant value of discrimination between benign and malignant lesions of ileocecal focal FDG uptake by PET/CT was affirmative. It is very important to recognize physiologic uptake of ileocecal conjunction in the interpretation of image. Semi-quantitative analyze was not helpful to identify benign lesions from physiologic uptake.
