Objective To assess the contribution of CT perfusion in the quantitative diagnosis of meningiomas Methods The CT perfusion imaging was performed in 13 patients (including 2 recurrent meningiomas) by using Somatom Plus 4 helical CT The color map of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), and mean transit time (MTT) was obtained by perfusion software, and rCBF, rCBV, and MTT were calculated in different areas Then the perfusion parameters and its mean ratios between tumor and contralateral normal brain tissue (CNBT) in each group of different pathologic types of meningiomas were compared using an unpaired or a paired Student t test Results The rCBV, rCBF, and MTT of meningiomas were significantly higher than those of CNBT [rCBV:(16 125?12 135) ml/100 g vs (2 158?1 345) ml/100 g, P 0 05) The characteristic time density curve (TDC) with high peaks was seen in 5 cases The rCBV and rCBF of 4 cases with peritumor brain edema were significantly lower than those of CNBT Conclusion CT perfusion imaging can not only provide quantitative information of meningiomas blood flow and show characteristic dynamic TDC, but also is useful in assessing pathology of tumor and demonstrating lower perfusion in peritumor brain edema and diagnosis of recurrent meningiomas

Objective To explore the effect of mouse proliferation-associated protein 2G4 (p38-2G4) high-expression on the proliferation and erythriod differentiation of murine erythroleukemia ( MEL ) cells.Methods To establish the recombinant lentivirus vector p 38-2G4-pLJM1, the p38-2G4-pLJM1 was cotransfected into HEK293T cells to obtain lentivirus with pCMV-VSV-G and pCMV-dR8.2.Lentivirus were infected into MEL cells to establish the stably p 38-2G4 high-expressed MEL cells.Western blotting was used to analyse the high-expression efficiency.MTT assay and benzidine staining were applied to detect the cell viability and hemoglobin synthesis of the stable cell line in presence /absence of inducers.Results Western blotting showed that the p38-2G4 high-expression stable cell strain had a higher expression of p38-2G4 as compared to the control group ( MEL) ( P <0.05).MTT result showed that there was no difference between the p38-2G4 high-expression cell strain and the control group (P>0.05), but the hemoglobin synthesis had been reduced as compared to the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion p38-2G4 high-expression does not affect the cell viability of MEL cells , but inhibits the erythriod differentiation of MEL cells in three independent experiments .

Objective Vaccination is a most effective method for the prevention of severe diseases caused by pandemic influenza and microRNA ( miRNA) mediated gene silencing has offered a novel approach to the construction of new vaccines.Our study aimed to construct a recombinant influenza A ( H1 N1 ) virus with the PB1 gene that carries the target fragment of miRNA Let-7b. Methods After comparing the sequence of the A/Nanjing/108/2009 H1N1 viral fragments with that of Let-7b, we selected PB1 as the optimal gene sequence, inserted the Let-7b binding target gene into PB1, ligated the modified fragments with pDP 2000, and named the recombinant plasmids pDP-mu-PB1 and pDP-sclb-PB1, respectively.We co-transfected the MDCK and 293T cells with the recombinant and other seven plasmids and injected the supernatant into the allantoic cavity of the chickenembryo for virus propagation, followed by detection of the virus by hemagglutination ( HA) assay and measurement of the viral titer by TCID50 .We amplified the viral cRNA by RT-PCR and identified the viruses by agarose gel electrophoresis and nucleotide sequence analysis. Results PB1 was the optimal sequence ( 83 bp -107bp) for the attenuation of viruses.The HA-titers of miRT-H1N1 and scbl-H1N1 were 1∶32 and 1∶64, and their viral loads were 4.68 ×105 and 7.94 ×104 TCID50/mL, respectively.Nucleotide sequence analysis showed the expected fragment in the rescued virus. Conclusion A recombinant strain vaccine was successfully constructed, which has laid the foundation for fur-ther assessment of virulence.
