OBJECTIVETo investigate the value and applicability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) radiomics in differentiating primary lung cancer (PLC) from solitary lung metastasis (SLM) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).MATERIALS AND METHODSThis retrospective study included 103 patients with CRC and solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to screen for optimal radiomics features and establish a PET/CT radiomics model. PET/CT Visual and complex models (combining radiomics with PET/CT visual features) were developed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to determine the predictive value and diagnostic efficiency of the models.RESULTSThe AUC of the PET/CT radiomics model for differentiating PLC from SLM was 0.872 (95% CI: 0.806-0.939), which was not different from that of the visual (0.829 [95% CI: 0.749-0.908; p = .352]). However, the AUC of the complex model (0.936 [95% CI:0.892-0.981]) was significantly higher than that of the PET/CT radiomics (p = .005) and visual model (p = .001). The sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), accuracy (ACC), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of PET/CT radiomics for differentiating PLC from SLM were 0.720, 0.887, 0.806, 0.857, and 0.770, respectively.CONCLUSIONPET/CT radiomics can effectively distinguish PLC and SLM in patients with CRC and SPNs and guide the implementation of personalized treatment.

PURPOSERadioiodine-131 (RAI or iodine-131) is one of the most frequently used radionuclides for diagnosis and therapy of thyroid diseases (90% of all therapies in nuclear medicine). In order to optimize the patient protection, it is important to evaluate the long-term biological effects of RAI therapy on non-target organs.MATERIALS AND METHODSAn experimental animal model has been adopted, it consists on miming RAI therapy. An activity of RAI has been administrated in two models of Wistar rats: the first model with an intact thyroid gland (Thy + model), and the second one was thyroidectomized (Thy- model). For each model, 6 rats were orally contaminated with a solution 18.5 ± 1MBq of [131I]NaI and 6 others rats were used as controls. The 24 rats have been placed in individual cages for a period of 08 months then they were euthanized. The blood was collected by cardiac puncture and all organs were immediately removed. A fraction of thyroid, liver, kidneys and testicles was put in vials containing formaldehyde (10%) for histological investigation.RESULTSHistological observations show some liver disorders more accentuated in the case of the Thy- model, the appearance of kidney tissue effects (hemosiderin deposits, fibrosis and glomerular necrosis) for both models and an absence of any anomaly for the testicles slides. The disturbance of blood parameters specific to each organ has been revealed.CONCLUSIONSLong-term biological effect of 131I-administration shows the appearance of various histological disorders confirmed by disturbances in hepatic and renal functions.

PURPOSEWe explored the elicitation role of the laser irradiations on the alleviation of nutrient-deficiency induced damage in anthocyanin-producing red-fleshed apple cell suspension in continuous production of anthocyanin.METHODSAnthocyanin-producing red-fleshed apple cells were irradiated by 4 intensity levels of red He-Ne (RHNL) and blue diode (BDL) lasers for 20 min.RESULTSNutrient deficiency indicated negative effect on total soluble proteins (TSP), superoxidase dismutase (SOD) activity, and total phenolics content (TPC) while it displayed a positive effect on malondialdehyde (MDA), total flavonoids content (TFC), O2-, H2O2-, and lipoxygenase (LOX) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities in light controls, illustrating oxidative stress. The laser irradiations on suspension cells indicated variable effects on measured parameters and were time of growth-, levels of intensity-, and laser type-dependent. Likewise, the elicitation effects of lasers relied on a critical threshold among ROS generation and antioxidative system which determines the fate of cells against oxidative stress. The same trend was displayed by RHNL at 6.46 mWcm-2 intensity and BDL at 13.73 mWcm-2. These intensities resulted in a significant increase in SOD, APX, POD, and CAT activities and TSP, TPC, TFC, proline, and glycine betaine accumulation, while induced decrease in LOX, and PPO activities and MDA, and ROS generation, alleviating cellular injury from prolonged nutrient deficiency by diminishing lipid peroxidation and oxidative damages of cell membrane.CONCLUSIONResults suggested that lasers application on mitigating nutrient deficiency stress relied on establishing a suitable balance between ROS generation and antioxidative system, which enables the nutrient-starved anthocyanin-producing cells to continuously produce anthocyanin.
