Objective:Based on Co-occurrence Matrix and Run-length Matrix,we studied cerebral infarction patients' MR image texture characters.The aim is to investigate the differences of lesion textures characters between patients' groups and normal control groups,so that we can use this tiny change to realize early diagnosis of cerebral infarction.Methods:Texture features were extracted from MR images of patients and normal control groups respectively.Fisher test was applied to choose valid textures characters and made features classifier.Results:Linear discriminant analysis can achieve 88.31% classification accuracy.This demonstrated that cerebral infarction patients and normal control groups have the differences of textures Characters in MR image.Conclusion:We can discover cerebral infarction patients' MR image texture characters change by texture analysis,so that early diagnosis of cerebral infarction would be realized.

Aim To investigate the effect of curcumin on the expressions of NR2A, NR2B and apoptotic neurons in hippocampus after global brain ischemia-reperfusion in SD rats. Methods Global ischemic model induced by 4-vessel occlusion was adopted. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham group (SH), ischemia-reperfusion group (I/R), curcumin 30(Cur 30), 100 (Cur 100) and 300 mg?kg-1 group (Cur 300). At different time points after ischemia, animals were designated as subgroups 2 h, 6 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d. Cell morphology was observed on HE stain slides. The apoptotic neurons were detected in CA1 region by TUNEL method. Expressions of NR2A and NR2B in hippocampal CA1 and CA3/DG regions were detected by Immunohistochemical technique. Results At each time point the number of apoptotic neurons was much more in I/R group than that in SH group and Cur 100 group,and in Cur 300 group than that in Cur 100 group. The expression of NR2A was higher in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3/DG regions in Cur 100,Cur 300, Cur 30 and SH groups than that in I/R group at each time point(P

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of human telomerase RNA component (hTR) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase(hTERT) mRNA expression in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) and Bowen′s disease(BD). Methods Expressions of hTR and hTERT mRNA were detected by in situ hybridization technique in 30 cases of cutaneous SCC and 30 cases of BD. Results Weak expressions of hTR and hTERT mRNA were observed in BD, with positivity rates of 23.33% and 16.67%, respectively. Expressions of hTR and hTERT mRNA were found in 86.67% and 93.33%, respectively, in cutaneous SCC. hTR and hTERT mRNA were positive in 82.35% and 88.24%, respectively, of stage I and II of cutaneous SCC, without strong positive signals in those patients. hTR and hTERT mRNA were positive in 92.31% and 100%, respectively, of stage III and IV of cutaneous SCC, with strong positivity rates of 69.23% and 76.92% in those patients. Expressions of hTR and hTERT mRNA in skin tumors were gradually increased which positively linked with phenotypic progression and degree of dysplasia. Conclusion The strong expression of hTR and hTERT mRNA in the skin tumor suggest the presence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of 64-slice CT perfusion imaging(CTPI) in the early diagnosis of radiation-induced lung injury ( RILI ).MethodsForty-eight patients with upper esophageal cancer resection underwent CTPI before and after radiotherapy,and the TNF-α and TGF-β1 were measured from patient's peripheral blood.Serum cytokine,conventional CT appearances and CTPI parameters (rrBF,rrBV,rrPS) in patients with RILI (Group A) and non-RILI (Group B) were compared and analyzed.A randomized block design t-test was used for comparison of serum cytokines and perfusion values between the two groups.The Chi-square ( x2 ) test was used for comparison of detection rate between conventional CT and CTPI.ResultsRILI occurred in 18 of 48 cases ( 18/48,Group A).In Group A,TNF-α and TGF-β1 preand pos-radiation were (36.1 ± 15.0),(30.4 ±t 14.9) ng/L and (17.5 ±9.8),(14.3 ±7.6) μg/L,respectively,and there were no statistically significant differences (t =1.14,1.I0,P =0.264,0.279).At half-dose time point of radiation,there were no significant differences for TNF-α and TGF-β1 pre- and posradiation [ ( 30.4 ± 14.9),( 28.9 ± 14.7 ) ng/L and ( 14.3 ± 7.6),( 14.4 ± 6.0 ) μg/L,respectively ]between Group A and B ( t =0.33,1.23 ; P =0.746,0.227).The rrBF,rrBV and rrPS of post-radiation from Group A were significantly higher than those of pre-radiation ( t =5.67,5.97,6.11,P =0.000,0.000,0.000),the rrBF and rrBV of post-irradiation from Group B were significantly higher than those of pre-irradiation (t =6.52,7.84,P =0.000,0.000).There was no significant difference for rrPS in Group B pre- and post-radiation (t =1.36,P =0.178 ).There were significant differences for all perfusion values detected from radiation lung fields between Group A and B ( t =2.32,2.18,6.04,P =0.025,0.034,0.000).Taking rrPS =1.28 as a threshold value on ROC,the sensitivity and specificity of CTPI for diagnosis of RILI were 77.8%,93.3%,respectively,which were much higher than those ( 11.1%,90.0%,respectively) of conventional CT (x2=13.61,P=0.000).ConclusionCTPI parameters may reflect the hemodynamic changes of post-radiation lung and have potential values for the early diagnosis of RILI.

Objective To observe the changes of serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product and para-thyroid hormone(PTH)levels after treatment with different concentrations of calcium dialysate in combination with calcitri-ol. Methods Thirty-six patients on maintenance hemodialysis were randomly divided into Dca1.25 group and Dca1.5 group, 18 cases in each group. Patients took different doses of calcitriol on the different values of PTH basis. Changes of se-rum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product,PTH and bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) levels were recorded re-spectively on four time points from prior treatment and 1, 3 and 6 months of therapy. The levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were also observed. Results There was an interaction between treatment effects and time effects in serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product levels in two groups (P<0.05). With the dura-tion of treatment, there was a trended to decrease and increase respectively in DCa 1.25 group and DCa 1.5 group, and trend-ed to stabilize for therapy 3 to 6 months. There was no interaction between serum PTH and BAP levels and time effects in two groups. There was no statistical difference in simple treatment effects and time effects. The serum PTH level showed a trend of increase gradually in DCa1.5 group with the duration of treatment. In DCa 1.25 group, the serum PTH level trended to stabilize after 3-month therapy and showed a trend of decrease gradually. There was an interaction between treatment effects and time effects in SBP in two groups, but no interaction in DBP. There was a significant difference in SBP before and after treatment in two groups. The level of SBP reduced tardily with time of treatment and reduced significantly after 3 and 6-month therapy. Conclusion The application of DCa1.25 dialysate in combination with calcitriol decreased serum calci-um effectively and kept the lower limit of normal value, which increased tolerability of active vitamin D and calcium carbon-ate therapy, and decreased SBP in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
