Objective To explore the difference of cognitive function and psychosocial function between remitted bipolar disorder(BPD) and remitted schizophrenia.Methods 8 neuropsychological tests (17 items)which evaluate attention,verbal learning and memory,visual memery and executive function were given to 30 remitted BPD,32 remitted schizophrenia and 34 normal controls.The differences of cognitive functions between the three groups were compared using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).Psychosocial functions of remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia were both evaluated by Global Assessment Function (GAF),and the difference of Psychosocial functions between the two groups was also tested by MANOVA.Results1.Remitted schizophrenia showed dysfunction in neuropsychological tests except Stroop C and digit span subtest-forward compared with controis.but Remitted BPD only showed dysfunction in 9 neuropsychological items compared with controls.There was no significantly differences on WCST,digit span subtest-backward,and TMT-B between remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia,the degree of impairment of the two groups was same.But scores from logical memory sub-test and Stroop CW of remitted schizophrenia were significantly lower than that of remitted BPD( ( 8.13 ± 3.35),( 12.11 ±3.72),(6.00 ±3.09),(9.78 ±3.60);(48.61±15.73),(69.33 ±21.04),P<0.05).There was significant difference on scores of GAF between remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia.Conclusion There are some overlap in cognitive impairment in remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia,but in remitted schizophrenia the cognitive profile is characterized by generalized and severer pattern of deficits.The psychosocial function of remitted BPD is better than that of remitted schizophrenia.

Objective To label rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with superparamagnetic iron oxide in vitro, and to monitor the survivorship and location of the labeled BMSCs in rat models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with high field MR. Methods BMSCs were cultivated in vitro, and were labeled with SPIO. TBI models were built in the left hemisphere of the rats with Feeney's method. Then SPIO-labeled BMSCs were grafted stereotactically into the region nearby the contusion site 24 h later. The rats underwent MR examination 1 day, 3 days, 1 week and 3 weeks after implantation. Results Brown iron particles could be demonstrated in the SPIO-labeled BMSCs under inverted phase contrast microscope. Numerous intracytoplastic iron particles were stained with Prussian blue, and diffused distribution of iron particles could be seen in the intracytoplasm under electron microscope. At implanted sites low signal intensity could be observed on every sequence of MR examination, among which T2~*WI and SWI were better than other sequences, and SWI was the best. Conclusion MR is sensitive of tracking the survivorship and location of the labeled BMSCs, and SWI is the most sensitive sequence to detect the labeled cells.

AIM:To study the expression of Jagged 2/Notch3 signaling molecules in pulmonary vascular wall of pulmonary hypertensive rats induced by monocrotaline .METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (C group,n=15), solvent control group (S group,n=15) and monocrotaline model groups (M group,n=15).The model of pulmonary hypertension was established by a single subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline (50 mg/kg).The rats in S group were given a single subcutaneous injection of the same dose of solvent .After 4 weeks, the pulmonary vascular remodeling was assessed by HE staining , and the mean pulmonary artery pressure ( mPAP) and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) were determined by right heart catheterization .The expression of Jagged2/Notch3 /Hes5 molecules in the pulmonary vascular wall was detected by immunohistochemical method and real -time PCR.RESULTS:Compared with S group and C group , the percentage of medial wall thickness of smaller arteries in model group increased significantly (P<0.01).The levels of mPAP and RVSP in M group were significantly higher than those in S group and C groups (P<0.01).The results of real-time PCR showed that the expression of Jagged 2, Notch3 and Hes5 was significantly increased in M group compared with S group and C group .The data from immunohistochemical detection indicated that Jagged 2 mainly expressed in the intima of small lung artery , Notch3 and Hes5 mainly expressed in the medial smooth muscle cells .Com-pared with S group and C group , the expression of Jagged 2 and Notch3 was significantly increased in the lung small arteries of M group.CONCLUSION:The activation of Jagged2/Notch3 signaling pathway might play an important role in the for-mation of pulmonary hypertension .

Objective To observe the value of ultrasonography, MR and MSCT in diagnosing intravitreous autologous eyelashes. Methods Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were averagely divided into 4 groups (A, B, C and D) randomly, and 1, 5, 10 eyelashes were implanted into vitreous body of rabbits respectively in group A, B, and C, whereas rabbits in group D (the control group) were only exposed to sham operation without implanting any eyelashes. After one week, all rabbits underwent ultrasound, MR and MSCT examination, then the specimens of vitreous bodies were obtained and observed pathologically. Results All the implanted intravitreous eyelashes were displayed with ultrasound. Intravitreous eyelashes in group A were not detected with MRI, whereas in 3 rabbits of group B and all of group C were displayed on T2WI, T2*WI and SWI sequences. MSCT detected intravitreous eyelashes in only 6 experimental animals. Conclusion Ultrasonography should be considered as the first choice for diagnosis of intravitreous autologous eyelashes. Different sequences of MRI have various advantages in diagnosing intravitreous autologous eyelashes, whereas the diagnostic value of MSCT is limited.

Objective To approach the value of MR urography (MRU) in diagnosis of congenital renal dysplasia in children.Methods 13 children with congenital renal dysplasia and renal inadequacy were examined by routine MRI and MRU with heavy T_2 weighted single stimulation fast spin echo sequences.Results The congenital atopic dysplastic rens located at pelvis in one case and at below nephritic pit in one case were not detected by MR imaging and original MRU images,respectively.Multicystic dysplastic kidney could be well showed by MRU MIP images, but the cases with clubbed renal pelvis were not well demonstrated by MRU. All cases and the complications were correctly diagnosed by routine MRI, original MRU and MRU MIP images.Conclusion MR urography in combination with routine MRI is of important value in diagnosing congenital renal dysplasia in children.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribation of the AmpC enzyme in Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burned patients. METHODS Susceptibility tests were used to detect antibiotic resistance to 20 kinds of antimicrobial drugs in 20 strains of A. baumannii isolated from burned patients, AmpC enzyme genes were detected by PCR and partial positive products were chosen to sequence. RESULTS Drug resistances to ?-lactam antibiotics in 20 strains of A. baumannii isolated from burned patients had exceeded 85% except levofloxacin or cefoperazone/sulbactam. Of ADC genes 95% were positive, but all DHA genes were negative. Through sequence and Blast analysis, partial ADC positive products were identical with that of EF546445. CONCLUSIONS The multidrug resistance of A. baumannii isolated from burned patients to ?-lactam antibiotics is serious. AmpC enzyme mediated by chromosome, ADC, prevails in A. baumannii isolated from burned patients.
