Radiation sterilization of tissue allografts:A review

Tissue substitutes are required in a number of clinical conditions for treatment of injured and diseased tissues.Tissues like bone,skin,amniotic membrane and soft tissues obtained from human donor can be used for repair or reconstruction of the injured part of the body.Allograft tissues from human donor provide an excellent alternative to autografts.However,major concern with the use of allografts is the risk of infectious disease transmission.Therefore,tissue allografts should be sterilized to make them safe for clinical use.Gamma radiation has several advantages and is the most suitable method for sterilization of biological tissues.This review summarizes the use of gamma irradiation technology as an effective method for sterilization of biological tissues and ensuring safety of tissue allografts.

Magnetic resonance diffusion-perfusion mismatch in acute ischemic stroke: An update

The concept of magnetic resonance perfusion-diffusion mismatch(PDM) provides a practical and approximate measure of the tissue at risk and has been increasingly applied for the evaluation of hyperacute and acute stroke in animals and patients.Recent studies demonstrated that PDM does not optimally define the ischemic penumbra;because early abnormality on diffusion-weighted imaging overestimates the infarct core by including part of the penumbra,and the abnormality on perfusion weighted imaging overestimates the penumbra by including regions of benign oligemia.To overcome these limitations,many efforts have been made to optimize conventional PDM.Various alternatives beyond the PDM concept are under investigation in order to better define the penumbra.The PDM theory has been applied in ischemic stroke for at least three purposes:to be used as a practical selection tool for stroke treatment;to test the hypothesis that patients with PDM pattern will benefit from treatment,while those without mismatch pattern will not;to be a surrogate measure for stroke outcome.The main patterns of PDM and its relation with clinical outcomes were also briefly reviewed.The conclusion was that patients with PDM documented more reperfusion,reduced infarct growth and better clinical outcomes compared to patients without PDM,but it was not yet clear that thrombolytic therapy is beneficial when patients were selected on PDM.Studies based on a larger cohort are currently under investigation to further validate the PDM hypothesis.     

Value of MR contrast media in image-guided body interventions

In the past few years,there have been multiple advances in magnetic resonance (MR) instrumentation,in vivo devices,real-time imaging sequences and interventional procedures with new therapies.More recently,interventionists have started to use minimally invasive image-guided procedures and local therapies,which reduce the pain from conventional surgery and increase drug effectiveness,respectively.Local therapy also reduces the systemic dose and eliminates the toxic side effects of some drugs to other organs.The success of MR-guided procedures depends on visualization of the targets in 3D and precise deployment of ablation catheters,local therapies and devices.MR contrast media provide a wealth of tissue contrast and allows 3D and 4D image acquisitions.After the development of fast imaging sequences,the clinical applications of MR contrast media have been substantially expanded to include pre-during-and post-interventions.Prior to intervention,MR contrast media have the potential to localize and delineate pathologic tissues of vital organs,such as the brain,heart,breast,kidney,prostate,liver and uterus.They also offer other options such as labeling therapeutic agents or cells.During intervention,these agents have the capability to map blood vessels and enhance the contrast between the endovascular guidewire/catheters/devices,blood and tissues as well as direct therapies to the target.Furthermore,labeling therapeutic agents or cells aids in visualizing their delivery sites and tracking their tissue distribution.After intervention,MR contrast media have been used for assessing the efficacy of ablation and therapies.It should be noted that most image-guided procedures are under preclinical research and development.It can be concluded that MR contrast media have great value in preclinical and some clinical interventional procedures.Future applications of MR contrast media in image-guided procedures depend on their safety,tolerability,tissue specificity and effectiveness in demonstrating success of the interventions and therapies.     

Preoperative transarterial Embolisation in bone tumors

Bone tumors include a variety of lesions, both primary and metastatic. The treatment modalities for bone tumors vary with the individual lesion, but in general surgical excision is the treatment of choice with other adjunctive therapies. However, surgery for many bone tumors is complex due to several factors including tumor bulk, vascularity, vicinity to vital structures and potentially inaccessible location of the lesion. Transarterial Embolisation (TAE) is one of the important adjuvant treatment modalities and in some cases it may be the primary and curative treatment. Preoperative TAE has proved to be effective in both primary and metastatic bone tumors. It reduces tumor vascularity and intraoperative blood loss, the need for blood transfusion and associated complications, allows better definition of tissue planes at surgery affording more complete excision, and hence reduced recurrence. Preoperative chemoEmbolisation has also been shown to increase the sensitivity of some tumors to subsequent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There are several techniques and embolic agents available for this purpose, but the ultimate aim is to achieve tumor devascularization. In this review, we discuss the techniques including the choice of embolic agent, application to individual lesions and potential complications.     

Potential of (18)~F-FDG-PET as a valuable adjunct to clinical and response assessment in rheumatoid arthritis and seronegative spondyloarthropathies

AIM: To evaluate the role of fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) in various rheumatic diseases and its potential in the early assessment of treatment response in a limited number of patients. METHODS: This study involved 28 newly diagnosed patients, of these 17 had rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 11 had seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SSA). In the SSA group, 7 patients had ankylosing spondylitis, 3 had psoriatic arthritis, and one had non-specific SSA. Patients with RA were selected as per the American College of Rheumatology criteria. One hour after FDG injection, a whole body PET scan was performed from the skull vertex to below the knee joints using a GE Advance dedicated PET scanner. Separate scans were acquired for both upper and lower limbs. Post-treatment scans were performed in 9 patients in the RA group (at 6-9 wk from baseline) and in 1 patient with psoriatic arthropathy. The pattern of FDG uptake was analysed visually and quantified as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in a standard region of interest. Metabolic response on the scan was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively and was correlated with clinical assessment. RESULTS: The qualitative FDG uptake was in agreement with the clinically involved joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein values and the clinical assessment by the rheumatologist. All 17 patients in the RA group showed the highest FDG avidity in painful/swollen/tender joints. The uptake pattern was homogeneous, intense and poly-articular in distribution. Hypermetabolism in the regional nodes (axillary nodes in the case of upper limb joint involvement and inguinal nodes in lower limb joints) was a constant feature in patients with RA. Multiple other extra-articular lesions were also observed including thyroid glands (in associated thyroiditis) and in the subcutaneous nodules. Treatment response was better appreciated using SUVmax values than visual interpretation, when compared with clinical evaluation. Four patients showed a favourable response, while 3 had stable disease and 2 showed disease progression. The resolution of regional nodal uptake (axillary or inguinal nodes based on site of joint involvement) in RA following disease modifying anti-rheumatoid drugs was noteworthy, which could be regarded as an additional parameter for identifying responding patients. In the SSA group, uptake in the affected joint was heterogeneous, low grade and nonsymmetrical. In particular, there was intense tendon and muscular uptake corresponding to symptomatic joints. The patients with psoriatic arthritis showed intense FDG uptake in the joints and soft tissue. CONCLUSION: 18F-FDG PET accurately delineates the ongoing inflammatory activity in various rheumatic diseases (both at articular and extra-articular sites) and relates well to clinical symptoms. Different metabolic patterns on FDG-PET scanning in RA and SSA can have important implications for their diagnosis and management in the future with the support of larger studies. FDG-PET molecular imaging is also a sensitive tool in the early assessment of treatment response, especially when using quantitative information. With these benefits, FDG-PET could play a pivotal clinical role in the management of inflammatory joint disorders in the future.

Objective To discuss the clinical application of damage control (DC)in the treatment of severe liver trauma. Methods A retrospective study was done to analyze the clinical data of 28patients with severe liver trauma ( Ⅲ-Ⅵ degree) who had the complications of hemodynamic instability,hypothermia, metabolic acidosis and blood coagulation disturbance and were treated with DC from April 2003 to April 2010 to sum up the operation indication, complications and mortality rate of DC. Results Of all the patients, 16 patients were cured and four died, with cure rate of 80% and mortality rate of 20%. Ten patients (50%) had complications after operation. Conclusions For the patients with severe liver trauma, DC is a safe and reliable operation method and can effectively lower complications and mortality rate when there appear hemodynamic instability, hypothermia, metabolic acidosis and blood coagulation disturbance complications.     

Miliary nodules due to secondary pulmonary hemosiderosis in rheumatic heart disease

Pulmonary hemosiderosis is defined as the clinical and functional consequence of iron overload of the lungs,which usually occurs due to recurrent intra-alveolar bleeding.It can manifest as miliary mottling and should be entertained in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with miliary nodules on chest radiography,especially those with mitral stenosis.The management of secondary pulmonary hemosiderosis secondary to valvular heart disease includes valvuloplasty and/or valve replacement.The radiological opacities may disappear with successful treatment of the underlying valvular disease in many patients.However,they may persist with no physiological impairment to the patient.Here,we present a 32-year-old man with mitral stenosis who presented with fever and miliary shadows on chest radiography,which was ultimately diagnosed as secondary pulmonary hemosiderosis.     

Optimization of the system of medical service of students of Cadet Schools of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

One of the factors of the successful military career guidance Cadet schools students is preserving and promoting their health. Medical support of children and adolescents aged 10-17 years should include the full range of medical and preventive measures defined for this group. The state of providing outpatient care for pupils at the Cadet School in St. Petersburg was studied. These results show that full medical care in accordance with the standards can be based only on children's health clinics. It is important that the organization of medical support pupils cadet schools should be cooperate with civilian health care.     

Estimation of accumulated dose of radiation by method of ESR-spectrometry of dental enamel of mammals

ESR-spectrometry was used to investigate radiation-induced paramagnetic centers in enamel of mammals: carnivores (polar bear and fox), ungulates (reindeer, European bison, moose), and man. Values at half the microwave power saturation of the radiation signal, P_1/2, evaluated at room temperature, was found to range from 16 to 26 mW for animals and man. A new approach to discrimination of the radiation induced signal from the total ESR spectrum of reindeer enamel is proposed. ‘Dose-response’ dependencies of enamel of different species mammals were measured within the dose range from 0.48 up to 10.08 Gy. Estimations of ‘radiosensitivity’ enamel of carnivores and ungulates showed good agreement with radiosensitivity enamel of man by ESR method.
