Efficacy of different doses of methylprednisolone on AECOPD mice induced by influenza A virus infection by XUE Lei, GUI Rui, GUI Rui, ZENG Qiang

“…The above cells were collected in 4 h after corresponding interventions for subsequent cellular immunofluorescence analysis. Results‍　‍①The medium-dose MP group demonstrated the most significant improvement in survival rate, weight recovery, and lung function when compared to other groups (P<0.05). ② Treatment of medium-dose MP obviously reduced the levels of IL-6 and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) (P<0.05), while, elevated inflammatory factors and NETs were observed in the high-dose MP group on day 5 post-treatment. ③ Notable decline in the lung injury score was found in the medium-dose MP group than the other groups (P<0.05). ④The high-dose MP group exhibited substantial bacterial proliferation and delayed viral clearance since day 5 after treatment. …”

Kinetics of the amino acid uptake tracer O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) in human brain by Korbinian Krieger, Thomas Pyka, Clemens Mingels, Hasan Sari, Albert Gjedde, Axel Rominger, Paul Cumming

“…While its high tumoral uptake reflects over-expression of the L-type amino acid transporter (LAT1), there is little knowledge about the kinetics of [18F]FET uptake in healthy brain tissue, owing to the limited PET data in healthy volunteers, and to the requirement of an arterial input function for compartmental analysis. To address this, we used long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) dynamic 40-min recordings of 28 post-operative patients with intracranial tumors to undertake parametric brain mapping relative to an image-derived arterial input function (IDIF) obtained from the aorta. …”
