Objective To explore the value of multiple-mouse MRI in evaluating the therapeutic effect of endostatin for transplantation tumor models of colorectal carcinoma in mice.Methods 24 subcutaneously transplantation tumor’s models of colorectal carcinoma (CT-26) in mice were established, 1 week later, 16 tumor-bearing mice were sieved out and divided randomly into two groups: endostatin (ES) group and normal saline (NS) group, treated with intraperitoneal injection of endostatin 6 mg/kg?d 0.2 ml and equal volume of saline respectively for 14 days. Subsequently, MMMRI was performed, and then the mice were killed immediately and the tumors were cut into sections which were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Results Subcutaneous fat layer in NS group presented thinner or disappeared on T1WI,while subcutaneous fat layer in ES group presented thicker. The tumors presented inhomogeneous high signal and intratumoral stippled necrosis on T2WI. The tumor’s volumes measured by MRI and pathology were(2723.26?1136.91) mm3 and (3505.76?1350.12) mm3 respectively,there was no difference between these two measures. And there was correlation between MRI results and pathological results. There was no difference of absolute signal intensity between ES group and NS group on T1WI and T2WI. The signal intensity ratio of ES group (3.19?0.28) was higher than which of NS group (2.60?0.47) on T2WI, and there was no difference on T1WI. Conclusion The therapeutic effect for endostatin on transplantation tumor models of colorectal carcinoma in mice can be displayed distinctly in MMMR image, and the inhibition rate of results can be displayed exactly and noninvasively.

Objective To study the imaging of arteriovenous malformation(AVM)and cerebral cavernous angiomas(CCA)by 3D-TOF MRA and SWI.Methods The clinical manifestations and MR imaging characteristics of 44 cases with intracranial vascular malformations were retrospectively analyzed.The MRA imaging and SWI imaging of 26 CCA cases and 18 AVM cases were compared.Results The location,size,input.artery and output vein of arteriovenous fistula were clearly showed by 3D-TOF MRA.3D-TOF-MRA did not show the artery of hemangioma.The imaging of SWI can clear display the number and increase of cavernous hemangioma,comparing with the conventional sequence.Moreover,SWI was effective to show the tortuous veins of arteriovenous malformation.However,it was not able to directly show the overview of abnormal blood vessels and big arteries such as input artery.Conclusion 3D-TOF MRA technologies is powerful to show the arteriovenous malformation with high flow velocity and low resistance(Such as AVM),while SWI has advantages in showing the cavernous hemangioma with low flow velocity and small diameters.Joining 3D-TOF-MRA and SWI techniques will improve the detection of cerebral vascular malformations and reduce the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors of the kidney (MESTK) are very rare in male kidney tumors. One case was reported in this article. The patient accidentally discovered a renal space occupying lesion during physical examination and underwent laparoscopic radical left nephrectomy. The postoperative pathological results were reported as MESKT, with immunohistochemical staining of ER (+ ), PR (+ ), SMA (+ ). After a follow-up of 4 months, the results showed that the patient had no signs of tumor recurrence or related complications.
