Purpose To assess the clinical application of non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (NCE-MRA) using flow sensitive dephasing (FSD) prepared steady-state free precession (SSFP) for displaying hand arteries of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and Methods Twenty-two patients with rheumatoid arthritis were recruited in this study. All the patients undertook hand NCE-MRA and three-dimensional dynamic CE-MRA on a 1.5T MR scanner. The informed consent was obtained from each subject. Image quality was assessed independently by two experienced radiologists at three arterial segments (wrist arteries, palm arteries, andfinger arteries) with a four-point scale. Signal to noise ratio (SNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR), and vessel sharpness were evaluated by a magnetic resonance physicist. The results and image quality were statistically compared between the two MRA techniques.Results Twenty-two patients of 24 hands successfully underwent NCE-MRA and CE-MRA scan. Among 72 vascular segments, 69 segments of NCE-MRA were diagnostic, which was higher than that of CE-MRA (96% vs 83%,P<0.05). Otherwise, the image quality, SNR, CNR and vessel sharpness of NCE-MRA were all superior to those of CE-MRA (P<0.05).Conclusion NCE-MRA using FSD-prepared SSFP allows clear depiction of the hand arterial tree, and the image quality is superior to that of dynamic CE-MRA. It is a potential tool for evaluating the disease of hand arteries.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism of promoting wound healing by modified autologous blood transfusion and metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 ( MALAT1) in diabetic mice. Methods:Twenty SPF ICR mice, weighing 21-25 g, in which the diabetic model was successfully established, were divided into 2 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: modified preservation group (group I) and ordinary preservation group (group O). Peripheral venous blood samples were collected and stored in the corresponding preservation solution for 7 days.The platelet aggregation rate, blood glucose, serum glycosylated hemoglobin (GHB) and phosphodiesterase (DPG) concentrations and WBC were measured.Autologous blood was transfused back immediately after the wound model was established.The percentage of wound healing area was calculated at 7, 10 and 14 days after autologous blood transfusion.The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase-9, β-actin, type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ), Col Ⅲ protein and mRNA and MALAT1 was determined by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction respectively, at 14 days after transfusion. Results:Compared with group O, the blood glucose, serum concentrations of GHB and DPG, and WBC were significantly decreased, platelet aggregation rate was increased, the percentage of wound healing area was increased, the positive staining rate of Col Ⅰ and Col Ⅲ was increased, and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase-9, ColⅠ, Col Ⅲ and β-actin protein and mRNA and MALAT1 was up-regulated in group I ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which modified autologous blood transfusion promotes wound healing may be related to up-regulating MALAT1 expression in diabetic mice.
