Abstract Objective To investigate the long-term therapeutic effects of the Chinese medicine Jiannao Yizhi Formula (健脑益智方, JYF) in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods Sixty mild-to-moderate AD participants were recruited and randomly allocated to the treatment (30 with JYF) and the control groups (30 with donepezil) for 6 months...
Abstract Objective To investigate protective effects of hirudin on oxidative stress and apoptosis of spinal dorsal root ganglion cells in high-glucose rats at the cellular and molecular level. Methods Dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRGn) were harvested from embryonic day in 15 SD rats, purified and identificated after primary culture. They were...
Abstract Objective To systematic review the effect of Chinese medicine (CM) on no or slow reflow after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in myocardial infarction (MI) patients. Methods The PubMed, EMBASE databases, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),...
Abstract Objective To observe the imbalance of anatomical and functional innervation factors of sympathetic nerves, nerve growth factor (NGF) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), in salt-sensitive hypertensive heart failure rats and to explore the effects of treatment with Guizhi Decoction (桂枝汤) on sympathetic remodeling by inhibiting cholinergic transdifferentiation. ...

Abstract Introduction The aim of this study is to determine whether 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT-based dosimetry could predict the actual absorbed dose in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases, treated by glass or resin microspheres. Material and methods Fifty-seven patients who underwent selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT)...
Abstract Purpose As an alternative to technetium-99m-macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA), a scout dose of holmium-166 (166Ho) microspheres can be used prior to 166Ho-radioembolization. The use of identical particles for pre-treatment and treatment procedures may improve the predictive value of pre-treatment analysis of distribution. The aim of this study was to analyze the agreement between 166Ho-scout and 166Ho-therapeutic dose...
Abstract Background Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin is used to estimate lung shunt fraction (LSF) prior to yttrium-90 (Y90). Studies have debated the safety and efficacy of Y90 in patients with LSF > 15%. We aimed to assess the role of Y90 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with LSF > 15%. Methods With IRB approval, we searched...
Abstract Purpose Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is effective for metastatic/inoperable neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Imaging response assessment is usually efficient subsequent to treatment completion. Blood biomarkers such as PRRT Predictive Quotient (PPQ) and NETest are effective in real-time. PPQ predicts PRRT efficacy; NETest monitors disease. We prospectively evaluated: (1) NETest as a surrogate biomarker for...
Abstract Aim One of the primary prerequisites for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) is the presence of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on NET cells. NET are highly heterogeneous and an individual patient as well as separate metastases can harbor cells with different clones, which influence the SSTR expression on NET cells. With this background we looked into our institutional...
