Correlation of brain cell glucose metabolism and patient's condition in children with epileptic encephalopathy An assessment using fluorine-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission computed tomography

We examined a total of 16 children with epileptic encephalopathy using fluorine-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose （18F-FDG） positron emission computed tomography （PET）, magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） and electroencephalography. Children with infantile spasms showed significant mental retardation, severely abnormal electroencephalogram recordings, and bilateral diffuse cerebral cortex hypometabolism with I^F-FDG PET imaging. MRI in these cases showed brain atrophy, multi-micropolygyria, macrogyria, and porencephalia. In cases with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, 18F-FDG PET showed bilateral diffuse glucose hypometabolism, while MRI showed cortical atrophy, heterotopic gray matter and tuberous sclerosis. MRI in cases with myoclonic encephalopathy demonstrated bilateral frontal and temporal cortical and white matter atrophy and 18F-FDG PET imaging showed bilateral frontal lobe atrophy with reduced bilateral frontal cortex, occipital cortex, temporal cortex and cerebellar glucose uptake. In children who could not be clearly classified, MRI demonstrated cerebral cortical atrophy and ~aF-FDG PET exhibited multifocal glucose hypometabolism. Overall, this study demonstrated that the degree of brain metabolic abnormality was consistent with clinical seizure severity. In addition, ~SF-FDG PET imaging after treatment was consistent with clinical outcomes. These findings indicate that ~SF-FDG PET can be used to assess the severity of brain injury and prognosis in children with epileptic encephalopathy.

Congenital hyperinsulinism:Role of fluorine-18L-3, 4 hydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography scanning

Congenital hyperinsulinism(CHI) is a rare but complex heterogeneous disorder caused by unregulated secre-tion of insulin from the β-cells of the pancreas leading to severe hypoglycaemia and neuroglycopaenia. Swift diagnosis and institution of appropriate management is crucial to prevent or minimise adverse neurodevel-opmental outcome in children with CHI. Histologically there are two major subtypes of CHI, diffuse and focal disease and the management approach will significantly differ depending on the type of the lesion. Patients with medically unresponsive diffuse disease require a near total pancreatectomy, which then leads on to the de-velopment of iatrogenic diabetes mellitus and pancre-atic exocrine insufficiency. However patients with focaldisease only require a limited pancreatectomy to re-move only the focal lesion thus providing complete cure to the patient. Hence the preoperative differentiation of the histological subtypes of CHI becomes paramount in the management of CHI. Fluorine-18L-3, 4-hydroxy-phenylalanine positron emission tomography(18F-DOPA-PET) is now the gold standard for pre-operative differentiation of focal from diffuse disease and locali-sation of the focal lesion. The aim of this review article is to give a clinical overview of CHI, then review the role of dopamine in β-cell physiology and finally discuss the role of 18F-DOPA-PET imaging in the management of CHI.

Cost-effectiveness of Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in tumours other than lung cancer: A systematic review

AIM: To systematically review published data on the cost-effectiveness of Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography(FDG-PET) or PET/computed tomography(PET/CT) in tumours other than lung cancer. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search of studies published in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and Embase databases through the 10th of October in 2013 was carried out. A search algorithm based on a combination of the terms:(1) "PET" or " PET/computed tomography(PET/CT)" or "positron emission tomography"; and(2) "cost-effectiveness" or "cost-utility" or "cost-efficacy" or "technology assessment" or "health technology assessment" was used. Only cost-effectiveness or cost-utility analyses in English language were included. Exclusion criteria were:(1) articles not within the field of interest of this review;(2) review articles, editorials or letters, conference proceedings; and(3) outcome evaluation studies, cost studies or health technology assessment reports. For each included study, information was col-lected concerning basic study, type of tumours evaluated, perspective/type of study, results, unit and comparison alternatives. RESULTS: Sixteen studies were included. Head and neck tumours were evaluated in 4 articles, lymphoma in 4, colon-rectum tumours in 3 and breast tumours in 2. Only one article was retrieved for melanoma, oesophagus and ovary tumours. Cost-effectiveness results of FDG-PET or PET/CT ranged from dominated to dominant. CONCLUSION: Literature evidence about the costeffectiveness of FDG-PET or PET/CT in tumours other than lung cancer is still limited. Nevertheless, FDGPET or PET/CT seems to be cost-effective in selective indications in oncology(staging and restaging of head and neck tumours, staging and treatment evaluation in lymphoma).

Significance of incidental focal fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in colon/rectum,thyroid,and prostate:With a brief literature review

BACKGROUND Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(F-18 FDG PET/CT),a functional imaging method,is usually performed on the entire torso,and regions of unexpected suspicious focal hypermetabolism are not infrequently observed.Among the regions,colon,thyroid,and prostate were found to be the common organs in a recent umbrella review.Some studies reported that a high rate of malignancy was shown in incidentally identified focal hypermetabolic regions and suggested that further examinations should not be ignored.AIM To investigate the malignancy rate of incidental focal FDG uptake,useful PET parameters and their cutoffs in discrimination between malignant and benign lesions.METHODS Retrospectively,the final reports of 16510 F-18 FDG PET/CT scans performed at our hospital between January 2016 and March 2022 were reviewed to identify incidentally observed FDG uptake in the colon/rectum,thyroid,and prostate.The scans of patients with current or prior malignancies at each corresponding location,without the final reports of histopathology or colonoscopy(for colon and rectum)for the corresponding hypermetabolic regions,or with diffuse(not focal)hypermetabolism were excluded.Finally,88 regions of focal colorectal hypermetabolism in 85 patients(48 men and 37 women with mean age 67.0±13.4 years and 63.4±15.8 years,respectively),48 focal thyroid uptakes in 48 patients(12 men and 36 women with mean age 62.2±13.1 years and 60.8±12.4 years,respectively),and 39 focal prostate uptakes in 39 patients(mean age 71.8±7.5 years)were eligible for this study.For those unexpected focal hypermetabolic regions,rates of malignancy were calculated,PET parameters,such as standardized uptake value(SUV),capable of distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions were investigated,and the cutoffs of those PET parameters were determined by plotting receiver operating characteristic curves.RESULTS In the colon and rectum,29.5%(26/88)were malignant and 33.0%(29/88)were premalignant lesions.Both SUVmax and SUVpeak differentiated malignant/premalignant from benign lesions,however,no parameters could distinguish malignant from premalignant lesions.Higher area under the curve was shown with SUVmax(0.752,95%CI:0.649-0.856,P<0.001)and the cutoff was 7.6.In the thyroid,60.4%(29/48)were malignant.The majority were well-differentiated thyroid cancers(89.7%,26/29).The results of BRAF mutation tests were available for 20 of the 26 welldifferentiated thyroid cancers and all 20 had the mutation.Solely SUVmax differentiated malignant from benign lesions and the cutoff was 6.9.In the prostate,56.4%(22/39)were malignant.Only SUVmax differentiated malignant from benign lesions and the cutoff was 3.8.Overall,among the 175 focal hypermetabolic regions,60.6%(106/175)were proven to be malignant and premalignant(in colon and rectum)lesions.CONCLUSION Approximately 60%of the incidentally observed focal F-18 FDG uptake in the colon/rectum,thyroid,and prostate were found to be malignant.Of the several PET parameters,SUVmax was superior to others in distinguishing between malignant/premalignant and benign lesions.Based on these findings,incidental focal hypermetabolism should not be ignored and lead physicians to conduct further investigations with greater confidence.

Assessment of incidental focal colorectal uptake by analysis of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography parameters

BACKGROUND Colon and rectal cancers are among the top five cancers worldwide in terms of their incidence and mortality rates.As the treatment options for cure include surgery even in specific advanced-stage cases,the early detection of lesions is important for applying active treatment methods.Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose(F-18 FDG)positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT)is an established imaging study for many types of cancers;however,physiologic uptake in the gastrointestinal tract is a frequent finding and may interfere with lesion identification.Nevertheless,as unexpectedly observed focal colorectal F-18 FDG uptake may harbor malignant lesions,further examination must not be avoided.AIM To assess the clinical implications of unexpected focal colorectal F-18 FDG uptake by analyzing FDG PET parameters.METHODS A total of 15143 F-18 FDG PET/CT scans performed at our hospital between January 2016 and September 2021 were retrospectively reviewed to identify incidentally observed focal colorectal FDG uptake.Finally,83 regions showing focal colorectal FDG uptake with final histopathological reports from 80 patients(45 men and 35 women with mean ages of 66.9±10.7 years and 63.7±15.3 years,respectively)were eligible for inclusion in the present study.Each focal hypermetabolic colorectal region was classified as malignant,premalignant,or benign according to the histopathological report.PET parameters such as maximum and peak standardized uptake value(SUVmax and SUVpeak),metabolic tumor volume(MTV),mean SUV of the metabolic tumor volume(mSUVmtv),and total lesion glycolysis(TLG)were measured or calculated for the corresponding hypermetabolic regions.Parametric and nonparametric statistical comparisons of these parameters were performed among the three groups.Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to identify cut-off values.RESULTS The detection rate of incidental focal colorectal uptake was 0.53%(80/15,143).Of the 83 regions with unexpected focal colorectal hypermetabolism,28.9%(24/83)were malignant,32.5%(27/83)were premalignant,and 38.6%(32/83)were benign.Overall,61.4% of the regions had malignant or premalignant lesions.SUVmax,SUVpeak,and mSUVmtv differentiated malignant and/or premalignant lesions from benign lesions with statistical significance(P<0.05).mSUVmtv3.5 differentiated malignant from benign lesions,with the largest area under the curve(AUC)of 0.792 and a cut-off of 4.9.SUVmax showed the largest AUC of 0.758 with a cut-off value of 7.5 for distinguishing between premalignant and benign lesions.Overall,SUVmax with a cut-off value of 7.6(AUC:0.770,95% confidence interval(CI):0.668-0.872;sensitivity,0.686;specificity,0.688)was a superior parameter for distinguishing between malignant/premalignant and benign lesions or physiologic uptake.No parameters differentiated malignant from premalignant lesions.Moderate or weak positive correlations were observed between the long diameter of the malignant lesions and PET parameters such as SUVpeak and some mSUVmtv.CONCLUSION Approximately two-thirds(61.4%)of incidental focal hypermetabolic colorectal regions were malignant/premalignant lesions,for which SUVmax was an independent diagnostic parameter.Unexpected suspicious focal colorectal FDG uptake should not be avoided and consideration for further evaluation is strongly recommended not to miss the two-thirds.

Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography for Osteochondromas Utilizing a Triple-Time Point Protocol

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess solitary osteochondroma and hereditary multiple osteochondral exostoses (HMOCE) utilizing FDG PET and a triple time point protocol. Methods: Seven patients were consented and recruited for PET evaluation of presumed benign osteochondroma. Following injection of 15 mCi of FDG, the lesion(s) of interest was imaged with PET-CT at 45 minutes post injection, whole body at 50 minutes post, and lesion of interest at 95 minutes post injection. A maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was obtained for the lesion(s) of interest at each time point, and an SUVΔ was calculated for each lesion of interest from the first time point to the third time point. Results: 16 lesions from 7 patients were included in the study. Mean SUVmax for all 3 time points was 1.04 with a standard deviation of 0.50 (range 0.3 - 2.2). The mean SUV was 0.096 with a range of 0 - 0.4. Among the 3 patients with histologically confirmed osteochondromas, mean SUVmax was 0.67, with standard deviation of 0.23 and range of 0.3 to 1.0. The mean SUVΔ13 was 0.081 (range 0 - 0.4), mean SUVΔ12 was 0.10 (0 - 0.3), and mean SUVΔ23 was 0.11 (range 0 - 0.4) (p = 0.74). Conclusion: Benign lesions were found to not have progressively increasing uptake on multiple time point FDG PET. Until chondrosarcomas are evaluated using triple time point 18FDG PET, its applicability in the evaluation of osteochondroma versus malignant change remains uncertain.

Fluorine-18 Radiochemistry: A Novel Thiol-Reactive Prosthetic Group, [18F]FBAMPy

A novel thiol-reactive bifunctional agent, an analogue of fluorobenzaldehyde-O-[6-(2,5-dioxo-2,5- dihydro-pyrrol-1-yl)-hexyl]oxime, (FBAM) has been synthesized. The new prosthetic group, [18F]- FBAMPy, replaces the 4-fluorophenyl moiety with a 2-fluoropyridinyl moiety leading to increased polarity (FBAM analytical HPLC Rf = 6.4 min;FBAMPy Rf = 4.8 min) while retaining the sulfur-reactive pendant. By altering the polarity of the molecule, this new prosthetic group should have significant impact in coupling it with small peptides and other biomolecules.

DOBUTAMINE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING PREDICTS CONTRACTILE RESERVE OF CHRONICALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL MYOCARDIUM: COMPARISON WITH FLUORINE-18 FLUORODEOXYGLUCOSE POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY

This study sought to investigate whether low dose dobutamine MRI can detect residual myocardial viability in patients with chronic myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction. Methods. Eleven patients with chronic myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction were employed for identification of viable myocardium by cine MRI during dobutamine infusion. All patients underwent coronary angiography and left ventriculography, 18 FDG PET, MRI at rest and stress.The systolic wall thickening measured at rest and during stress was compared with the results of 18 FDG PET, respectively. Results. A significant difference of either dobutamine induced systolic wall thickening (SWth stress ) or dobutamine induced contractile reserve (ΔSWth= SWth stress - SWth rest ) was present between viable and scar regions (1 0±0 3 versus -0 3 ±0 1, P<0 01; 1 0±0 3 versus -0 2±0 2, P<0 01). Conclusions. Dobutamine induced contractile reserve can be predicted in the regions of akinesia or dyskinesia at rest when systolic wall thickening was 1 0 mm during dobutamine stimulation.

KRT18与mRNA及长链非编码RNA互作调控椎间盘髓核细胞损伤的机制

背景:椎间盘中差异表达的RNA结合蛋白在椎间盘退变中发挥着关键作用,其中RNA结合蛋白KRT18水平的降低与椎间盘退行性病变相关,但其在椎间盘髓核细胞中的具体作用尚未完全确定。目的:探讨KRT18与mRNA及长链非编码RNA结合互作对椎间盘髓核细胞的影响及机制。方法:对因腰部骨折或椎间盘退行性病变而接受椎间融合术的患者进行人体髓核组织取样获得正常髓核细胞和退变髓核细胞,并进行iRIP-seq、功能富集分析以及DNA微阵列分析,随后根据分析结果在髓核细胞中敲低KRT18,通过蛋白免疫印迹及qRt-PCR在蛋白和RNA水平检测相关基因水平的表达。结果与结论:通过iRIP-seq分析发现GUAAUC和AGCCUC序列中存在大量的KRT18结合位点,表明KRT18可参与调控RNA的转录、翻译、稳定性或在细胞信号传导途径中发挥作用。其能够与成熟的mRNA稳定结合,其中表达较高的基因包括CRLF1及IGFBP4等,同时与其结合的长链非编码RNA的峰值基因包括SNHG25、SNHG12、NEAT1、USP32、EIF4A2和CDH4,这些基因多涉及细胞凋亡、炎症等多种生物过程,并且能介导细胞外基质代谢的相关通路,KRT18能够调控它们的稳定性、转运、翻译、剪接等多个方面的功能,进而影响基因的表达和细胞功能。实验结果验证了在髓核细胞中敲低KRT18,细胞外基质代谢水平被抑制出现失衡,导致体外椎间盘退变。该研究首次从KRT18与mRNA及长链非编码RNA结合的角度探讨其调控机制,并推测了KRT18在椎间盘退变发病机制中的潜在功能,为今后KRT18关键功能的研究奠定了基础。

Imaging of atherosclerotic aorta of rabbit model by detection of plaque inflammation with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography

Abstract：Background Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the primary mechanism of thrombosis which plays a key role in the onset of acute coronary syndromes. Detection of these plaques prone to rupture （vulnerable plaque） could be clinically significant for prevention of cardiac events. It has been shown that high metabolism cells have a high uptake of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose （18F-FDG）. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation of FDG uptake and the immuno-histochemistry parameters of plaques, and the effect of atorvastatin on vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque in a rabbit model.Methods Ten male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into three groups as follows： （1） normal control group （n=2,C group）： the animals were fed a standard diet at 120 g/d and were given water ad labium; （2） atherosclerosis group （n=4,As group）： animals were fed with high fat diet for 5 months after aortic endothelia damage; （3） treatment group （atherosclerosis ＋ atorvastatin, n=4, Statin group）： animals were fed with high fat diet for 5 months and then changed into normal chow plus atorvastatin （2.5 mg·d-1·kg-1） treatment for another 4 months. Then these four rabbits were imaged with fluorine-18 fluorodexyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography （PET/CT） and sacrificed for pathohistologic studies. FDG uptake by the aorta was expressed as target-to-background ratio （TBR）. Maximal standardized uptake value （SUV） was measured over the thoracic and abdominal aortas. The aortic smooth muscle cell （SMC） number, CD-14 antibody positive cell （macrophage） number and the ratio of the thickness of fibrous cap to the thickness of lipid core （cap-to-core ratio） in atherosclerotic plaques were analyzed.Results As group showed significantly higher uptake of FDG than C group （SUVs： 0.746±0.172 vs. 0.286±0.073, P 〈0.001）. After 4 months of atorvastatin treatment and the modification of diet, SUVs decreased significantly （Statin group：0.550±0.134, compared to As group, P 〈0.001）. However, no marked difference was found in TBR, the number of macrophages, the number of SMC and the cap-to-core ratio in the aortic segments between Statin group and As group.The correlation of aortic FDG uptake with SMC assessed by histopathology was negatively significant （r=0.57, P〈0.001）. When aortic FDG uptake was expressed as TBR, it correlated significantly （r=0.69, P 〈0.001） with the macrophage number, and also correlated significantly （r=0.78, P 〈0.001） with the cap-to-core ratio.Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT might serve as a useful non-invasive imaging technique for detection of atherosclerotic plaque and potentially permit monitoring of relative changes in inflammation within the atherosclerotic lesion.

基于改进ResNet18的干香菇等级识别

为解决干香菇等级识别技术复杂及识别精度不高的问题,提出了一种基于残差神经网络ResNet18的干香菇等级识别方法。首先将传统的ResNet18中Stem的7×7卷积层替换为3个3×3卷积层串联,保证在感受野保持不变的情况下进一步减小计算量;其次针对残差块中线性变换和非线性变换不足的问题,引入融合非对称卷积和h-swish激活函数,增加了模型的复杂性,使其能够进行更深层次的特征学习;最后在ResNet18骨干网络中引入高效通道注意力机制,加强模型提取特征的能力。实验结果表明,改进后的ResNet18网络模型准确度达97.04%,相比ResNet18网络模型方法提升了4.81%,且性能优于VGG16、MobileNetV2、DenseNet121、ResNet34等网络模型方法,可提高干香菇等级的识别精度,单幅图像的检测时间为5.91 ms,对干香菇智能分拣过程中的等级识别具有借鉴意义。

^(18)F-FDG PET/CT征象及Ki-67表达与肺腺癌EGFR突变相关性研究

目的探讨^(18)F-FDG PET/CT征象及Ki-67表达与肺腺癌表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR)突变的相关性。方法回顾分析95例经病理证实肺腺癌患者的^(18)F-FDG PET/CT征象、EGFR突变检测结果、Ki-67表达及一般临床资料。分析PET/CT征象(包括毛刺征、分叶征、胸膜牵拉征、血管集束征、空泡征、支气管截断征、SUVmax)、Ki-67表达、性别、年龄、吸烟史与EGFR突变状态的相关性。采用受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线计算最大标准摄取值(SUVmax)的截断值,Logistic回归分析影响EGFR突变的预测因素。结果EGFR突变患者的SUVmax值明显低于野生型患者(t=2.813,P=0.006),21号外显子突变患者的SUVmax低于野生型患者(t=3.274,P=0.002),野生型患者与19号外显子突变患者的SUV m a x差异无统计学意义(t=1.323,P=0.193),两种不同类型突变型SUVmax差异无统计学意义(t=-1.579,P=0.124)。ROC曲线分析显示,SUVmax预测EGFR突变的截断值为6.36。EGFR突变患者的Ki-67与野生型相比更易发生低表达(χ^(2)=4.867,P=0.027),21号外显子突变型患者Ki-67表达与野生型差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=5.576,P=0.018),19号外显子突变型与野生型Ki-67表达差异无统计学意义(χ^(2)=0.328,P=0.567),两种不同类型突变型Ki-67表达差异无统计学意义(χ^(2)=1.791,P=0.181)。单因素分析结果显示,性别、吸烟、分叶征、血管集束征及SUVmax与EGFR突变有关(P<0.05),而年龄、毛刺征、胸膜牵拉征、空泡及支气管截断征与EGFR突变无关(P>0.05)。根据Logistic多因素分析的结果,性别、血管集束征和SUVmax是预测EGFR突变的独立因素(P<0.05)。结论SUVmax是预测肺腺癌EGFR突变的独立因素,在预测EGFR突变中具有一定的参考价值。

目的 探讨芪参益气滴丸对老年高血压合并急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者血清白细胞介素18(IL-18)水平及预后的影响。方法 前瞻性选取2020年1月至2022年1月于天津市胸科医院就诊的老年高血压合并ACS患者330例,根据是否在标准西医治疗基础上加用芪参益气滴丸,随机分为芪参益气滴丸组164例和对照组166例。比较2组一般临床资料、治疗后1年血清IL-18、血压、血脂、血糖水平及随访1年内主要不良心血管事件(MACE)发生率,多因素logistic回归分析高血压合并ACS患者再发MACE的影响因素,ROC曲线分析血清IL-18对MACE的预测价值。结果 芪参益气滴丸组1年后血清IL-18、收缩压、舒张压、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、总胆固醇及随访1年内MACE发生率显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,芪参益气滴丸是老年高血压合并ACS患者发生MACE的独立保护因素(OR=0.259,95%CI:0.087~0.772,P=0.010),高水平的基线血清IL-18是再生MACE的独立危险因素(OR=1.075,95%CI:1.046~1.106,P=0.000)。血清IL-18预测老年高血压合并ACS患者再发MACE的ROC曲线下面积为0.786(95%CI:0.696~0.877,P<0.01),敏感性为65.00%,特异性为90.00%。结论 血清IL-18对老年高血压合并ACS患者的预后具有预测价值,芪参益气滴丸可以降低血清IL-18、血压及血脂水平,减少炎性反应,进而降低患者心血管事件发生风险,改善预后。
