Objective To study the MRI manifestations of hemangioblastomas.Methods MRI data of 27 cases of hemangioblastomasproved by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Hemangioblastomas were often located in hemispherium of cerebellum.All cases could be divided into three types : cyst-nodule type cyst-solid type and purely solid mass type.The large cyst and small nodule sign were characteristic manifestations of the cyst-nodule type,the signals of the fluid of the cyst were higher than that ofcerebrospinal fluid on MRI.The nodules or solid potions of the mass were showed as equal or slight long T_1 and slight long T_2 signalintensity,and were obviously enhanced.The blood vessel flow-void-sign around and inside the solid parts of the masses could be seen,and had a close relation with surrounding meninges.Conclusion MRI is a effective method in diagnosing hemangioblastomas,but the atypical cases should be differentiated from cystic astrocytoma,meningioma and metastesis.

Objective To establish the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp(HEC) technique in conscious rats, and to explore the effect of acute infusion of lipid on glucose infusion rate (GIR) in rats. Methods Ten SD rats were random-ly divided into two groups, 5 rats for each group. The right jugular vein and left carotid artery were catheterized and under-went a HEC with infusion of lipid (intralipid group) for 6 hours, and with continuing infusion of 5%glucose (control group). The plasma levels of free fatty acid(FFA) and GIR were measured by HEC method. Results The level of FFA concentration increased by 17.6-fold, and GIR was reduced by 27%in the intralipid group compared to those of control group (P＜0.001). Conclusion The rat model of HEC has been successfully established by intravenous intralipid infusion, which can be con-firmed by HEC technique.

Objective To approach the reason and treatment of arrhythmia after total pneumonectomy. Methods 94 arrhythmic cases after total pneumonectomy surgery were reviewed, the arrhythmia's clinical types, developing reasons and treatment process were summarized. Results There are 34 arrhythmic cases (36.2%) in all the 94 patients, most of them are sinus tachycardia. The incidences of arrhythmic are about 22.5 % and 78.3 % for normal and abnormal ECG patients before operation. The incidences of arrhythmic are also about 24.2% and 28.1% for using PCEA or not using any pain killers after surgery. Conclusion Arrhythmia after total pneumonectomy was influenced by patients' age, previous medical history, suffered hypoxemia during operation and high cardiac irritability. Using interventional treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease before operation, give enough oxygen, keep respiratory tract ease and smooth and using analgesia can significantly decease the arrhythmic incidence after total pneumonectomy.

Objective To evaluate the adaption,effectiveness,dose,complication of the treatment for cranio pharygiomas with gamma knife surgery.Methods Gamma knife surgery was performed in 41 patients.Patients with mixed solid and cystic tumors were treated with stereotaxic aspiration while six cases were treated with divergence surgery prior to gamma knife therapy.The central dose ranges from 17.1 ～40 Gy(29.6Gy in average).The patients were treated at 30%～50% equal dose curve with 6 ～14Gy of tumormargin dose(9.5Gy in average).The exposure dose of the optic nerve and optic tract is less than 10Gy.Results Of twenty-nine patients who were followed up from 6 to 100 months,sixteen had disappeared or decreased tumor,six had unchanged,two was performed craniotomy one year or three years after gamma knife surgery,and the remaining five were dead one year to three years.The tumor control rate was 75.9%(22/29).Conclusion The treatment of stereotaxic radiation with single and high dose is sensitive to most of the solid craniopharyngioma,and the treatment of stereotaxic resection combined with gamma knife surgery may be feasible for the recurrent mixed solid and cystic craniopharyngioma.

Objective To study the relationship between the DNA content of chondrocytes in the costal cartilage and postmortem interval in putrefactive rat cadavers.Methods Nuclear DNA wag visualized by modified Feulgen's staining method.DNA content of ehondrocytes in the costal cartilage was semi-quantita tively determined by a computerized image analysis system in rats within 35d postmortem.Results Staining intensity of the nuclei was gradually reduced within from 1d to 28d postmortem.The nuclej could not be detected at 35d.The DNA content of chondrocytes decreased time-dependently within 28 days after death as determined semi-quantitatively,which revealed a linear relationship between DNA content and postmortem interval.Conclusion DNA content of chondrocytes in the costal cartilage reduces time-dependently with the extension of postmortem interval.

[Objective] To study the correlation between kidney cell DNA degradation and postmortem interval within the span of 6-48 hour after the subject rats′ death.[Methods] To select 18 healthy mature female SD rats and equally divide them into 6 groups.To execute the rats with cervical spine articulation and put the rats under the incubator temperature of 25.1℃ (the average temperature of the 5 previous Decembers in Guangzhou prefecture).Sample kidney tissue from the rat separately 0 hour,6 hours,12 hours,24 hours,36 hours,48 hours,and 60 hours after the rats′ execution to prepare monoplast suspension,which is committed to comet assay.The comet images were captured by fluorescence CCD.Kinetic Comet 4.0 software was used to analyze images.Relevant data were collected by kinetic Comet 4.0 software and were subjected to Kruskal-Wallis test.[Results] Within the postmortem interval of 6-48 h,the number of SD rat kidney cell DNA fragments increased as the postmortem interval lengthens.So did the comet tail length.The Oliver tail moment and tail DNA of comet also showed sign of increase in positive proportion to the postmortem interval (their values corresponding to 60-hour-postmortem-interval were not obtainable.Kruskal-Wallis test indicated:the discrepancies of TL among the 6 groups were all significant (P ＜ 0.01).The difference of TM between 6 h group and 12 h group was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).The difference of TM between 24 h and 36 h was significant (P ＜ 0.05).The difference of TDNA among 6 h,12 h,and 36 h groups were not significant (P ＞ 0.05).The difference of TDNA between 36 h and 48 h was significant (P ＜ 0.05).[Conclusion] Degradation of nuclear DNA of the rat kidney cells increases as the postmortem interval lengthens and comet assay may provide important empirical evidence for determining the postmortem interval.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of DSA for unknown reason hemorrhage of small intestine.Methods 25 patients with hemorrhage of small intestine were performed angiography with Seldinger's technique through superior mesenteric artery.Results Eleven cases demonstrated direct signs of hemorrhage,12 cases of indirect signs of hemorrhage and 5 with both of the signs.The positive rate of hemorrhage was 72% including 10 cases of tumor(6 leiomyomas,2 leiomyosarcomas,1 interstitial tumor,1 small intestinal cancer),4 cases of Meckel's diverticulum,3 cases of vascular malformation and 1 case of inflammation.The coincidence rate of positive cases with pathology was 75%and the diagnostic accuracy of localization was 100%.Conclusions DSA angiography is very helpful for determining the location and chara-cter of unknown reason hemorrhage of small intestine.(J Intervent Radiol,2006,15:221-223)
