	229	Subregional-level grey matter volume impairments in the inferior parietal lobule in schizophrenia
		LIU Xing-yun, XU Yong-jie, XU Li-xue, YU Chun-shui
		Objective: To explore subregional-level grey matter volume(GMV) impairments in the inferior parietal lobule(IPL) in schizophrenia and their clinical correlations. Methods: MRI structural images were obtained from 95 schizophrenia patients and 104 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects. Based on a previous parcellation study, the IPL was divided into 11 subregions. The GMV of each subregion was calculated for each subject and was compared between the two groups using general linear model after controlling for the effects of sex and age. Spearman’s correlation coefficients were calculated between the GMVs of the IPL subregions with significant intergroup differences and the clinical parameters. Results: Compared with healthy subjects, schizophrenia patients showed significant GMV reduction in all the 5 anterior subregions and in only 1 middle and posterior subregion of the IPL. The GMV of the left PFt showed negative correlation with the duration of the illness(r=-0.212, P=0.042) and the GMV of the right PF+PFt was positively correlated with the PANSS positive score(r=0.231, P=0.027). Conclusion: The anterior subregions are the main portion of the IPL that exhibits structural impairments in schizophrenia.

		WU Yan-ping, GAN Ke-hong, ZHOU Li-feng, WANG Man-li, CONG Shu-zhen
		Objective: To observe the imaging appearances of ultrasound in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC), correlated with the histopathologic findings. Methods: The US results from 106 cases of PTMC with 122 nodules and correlated the results with the histopathologic findings were retrospectively evaluated. Results: The 63.9% of the PTMC nodules had an ill-defined boundary and the remaining had a well-defined boundary. A few(2.5%) of the PTMC nodules had a cystic element. The 30.3% of the nodules had a halo sign. Microcalcification was present in approximately half of the PTMC nodules. The rate of ultrasonic elastography(UE)≥3 is 60%. The amount of papillary structure and the fibrous stroma in the cancerous tissue determined the echogenicity of the nodule. A halo sign with a well-defined boundary was associated with the presence of an intact fibrous pseudo-capsule. Psammoma bodies were detectable on US as microcalcifications. Conclusion: The ultrasound findings of PTMC are correlated with its histopathological category. The “ill-defined boundary”, “hypoecho”, “microcalcification”, “ultrasonic elastography(UE)≥3” are useful for the diagnosis of PTMC.

	243	Diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer
		LI Xue-yan1, DUAN Yu2, YU Li-juan1
		Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in axillary lymph node(ALN) metastasis of patients with breast cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical and PET/CT data of 48 breast cancer patients who were pathologically proven． The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were calculated respectively according to the pathological results. Receiver-operating-characteristic(ROC) curve was used to find out the cut-off value of imaging parameters for diagnosing ALN metastasis. Besides, χ2 test was used to assess the diagnostic values of PET/CT in invasive ductal carcinoma(IDC) and invasive lobular carcinoma(ILC). Results: Of the 48 breast cancer patients, 29 patients had pathologically confirmed ALN metastasis. In person and lesion unit, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predicted value, negative predicted value and accuracy of PET/CT were 86.21%, 84.21%, 89.23%, 80.00%, 85.52% and 61.68%, 98.26%, 94.96%, 82.81%, 85.55% respectively. No statistical difference was found between the diagnostic values of PET/CT in ALN metastasis in IDC and ILC patients. ROC curve showed that the cut-off values of the short axis and SUVmax of ALN for predicting metastasis were 6.5 mm (sensitivity was 66.82%, specificity was 89.30%, accuracy was 81.49%) and 1.1(sensitivity was 91.12%, specificity was 95.27%, accuracy was 93.83%) respectively, in which SUVmax had the better relationship with metastasis of ALN. Assess all the ALN again according to the standards of short axis≥6.5 cm and SUVmax≥1.1 simutaneously, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 50.46%, 99.00% and 82.14%. Conclusion: The specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in predicting ALN metastasis in breast cancer patients are relatively high, as well as the sensitivity in patient unit, while in lesion unit, the sensitivity is relatively low. The diagnostic values of PET/CT in ALN metastasis of IDC and ILC patients have no statistical difference. We consider that the standard of SUVmax=1.1 had the best prognostic value, which might be used as an optimal criteria.

		Objective: The aim of study was to evaluate whether the 18F-FDG and 18F-fluoroacetate(18F-FAC) could be used to distinguish the different metastatic potential of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) models. Methods: Human HCC cell lines HepG2 and QGY7701 were cultured and implanted into nude mice to create HCC models. In vitro cell invasion assay was performed to judge invasion ability. Uptakes of 18F-FDG, 18F-FAC in two cells were assessed by in vitro uptake assay. In vivo imaging of tumor-bearing mice were obtained by animal PET/CT after injection of each tracer. ROI(region of interest) was drawn over tumor and lung to calculate T/NT(tumor/non-tumor). Results: The invasion ability of HepG2 was much higher than QGY7701(P<0.05), and the uptake ratio of 18F-FDG and 18F-FAC in HepG2 was higher than that in QGY7701(P<0.05) in vitro uptake assay. The 18F-FDG uptake of cells correlated with invasion capability(r=0.657, P<0.05). Meanwhile, in Micro-PET/CT study, the uptake of 18F-FDG and 18F-FAC in HepG2 tumor was higher than that in QGY7701 tumor(P<0.05). Conclusion: High uptake of 18F-FDG reflects higher invasion ability of HCC cell. Meanwhile, there is differentiation between two HCC models in 18F-FDG Micro-PET imaging. It indicates that 18F-FDG PET imaging could help to predict metastasis ability of HCC.
