Methods: Twenty-six patients (18 males and 8 females ranging from 9 to 56 years old, with an average of 19 years) with osteosarcoma underwent 64-slice spiral CTPI. We analyzed the correlations of CTPI parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), time to peak (TTP), and permeability surface (PS) with the expression of markers of angiogenesis. Statistical analysis was performed with paired-samples t test, and Pearson correlation analysis was employed to investigate the correlations of CTPI parameters with microvessel density (MVD). Results: Mean BF, BV, TTP, and PS values of osteosarcoma group were (46.6 ± 25.1) mL/100 g/min, (61.8 ± 29.5) mL/100 g, (122.9 ± 26.2) seconds, and (44.5 ± 14.6) mL/100 g/min, respectively. Those in the normal muscle group were (5.2 ± 6.6) mL/100 g/min, (9.6 ± 7.3) mL/100 g, (115.5 ± 33.1) seconds and (17.0 ± 29.3) mL/100 g/min, respectively. Osteosarcoma group showed higher BF, BV and PS compared with the normal muscle group (P = 0.000, P = 0.000, and P = 0.000, respectively). However, no significant difference was found in TTP between osteosarcoma tissue and normal adjacent muscle tissue (P = 0.273). BF, BV, and PS were positively correlated with MVD (r = 0.83, P = 0.000; r = 0.87, P = 0.000; and r = 0.63, P = 0.001, respectively). No correlation was found between TTP and MVD (r = –0.02, P = 0.93). Conclusion: CTPI is useful for assessing tumor vascularity of osteosarcoma and CTPI parameters are positively correlated with MVD.展开更多

X-ray diffi'action (XRD) and scanning elec- tron microscopy (SEM) results indicate that the as-synthesized samples are composed of face-centered cubic structure, and the average diameter is about 60-70 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding fast Fourier transformation (FFT) results show that Ag nanowires have a preferred single-crystal structure. Ultravio- let-visible (UV-vis) spectrum of Ag nanowire arrays exhibits UV emission band at 383 nm which can be attributed to the transverse dipole resonance ofAg nanowire arrays. A good surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum is observed by excitation with a 514.5 nm laser, and the intensity of the SERS peak is about 23 times higher than that of the normal Raman peak measured from an empty AAO template. The high enhancement factor suggests that this method can be used to fabricate SERS sensor with high efficiency.展开更多
