ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between Growth Hormone Insulin-like Growth Factors (GH-IGFs) and growth retardation in children with bronchial asthma. METHODS: 112 children with bronchial asthma and 50 healthy children were studied. Serum GH, IGF-1, and Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP3) were assessed by ELISA. GH-IGFs-related parameters were compared, and the correlation between the parameters and bronchial asthma severity was analyzed. The bronchial asthma group was divided into the growth retardation group and non-growth retardation group to analyze the diagnostic value of GH-IGFs in growth retardation and the relationship between GH-IGFs and growth retardation. RESULTS: GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 in the bronchial asthma group were lower. GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 levels were decreased with the severity of bronchial asthma. GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 in the growth retardation group were lower than those in the non-growth retardation group. The AUC of GH-IGFs combined detection was higher than that of GH and IGFBP3 alone detection. GH < 9.27 µg/L and IGF-1 < 179.53 mmoL/L were risk factors for growth retardation in patients with bronchial asthma. CONCLUSION: GH-IGFs-related parameters have diagnostic value for growth retardation in children, and decreased levels of GH and IGF-1 are risk factors for growth retardation in children.

ABSTRACT

Annexin 1 (Anxa1) is a highly specific surface marker of tumor vasculature in the lung and prostate solid tumors. The IF7 peptide was modified with a hydrophilic linker, GGGRDN, and coupled with a new bifunctional chelating agent NODA-Bn-p-SCN. The resulting peptides (NODA-Bn-p-SCN-GGGRDN-IF7) were successfully labeled with Al18 F. The targeting characteristics of the radiolabeled peptides were evaluated in the Anxa1 positive A431 tumor model. Micro-positron emission tomography (micro-PET) imaging revealed that the A431 tumors were clearly visualized (5.74 ± 1.13%ID/g, 3.92 ± 0.78%ID/g and 1.30 ± 0.43%ID/g at 0.5, 1, and 2 h post-injection, respectively). Anxa1 binding specificity was also demonstrated by reduced tumor uptake after co-injection with excessive unlabeled GGGRDN-IF7 peptide at 30, 60, and 120 min post-injection. 18 F-Al-NODA-Bn-p-SCN-GGGRDN-IF7 might be a potential PET imaging agent for detecting Anxa1 levels in cancers due to the favorable characteristics such as convenient synthesis, specific Anxa1 targeting, and good tumor uptakes.
