1.MRI in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(10):762-765
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),a commonly used imaging technique,has been extensively investigated in lung cancer diagnosis and staging.Many studies have demonstrated that MRI can be used for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules and for the screening of lung cancer; it also has important value in TNM staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),with equivalent sensitivity and specificity to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET-CT,which suggests that MRI can be used as an alternative imaging modality in noninvasive diagnosis and staging of NSCLC.

Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(12):-
Objective:To evaluate the etiology,elinic characteristics,diagnosis and treatments of spontaneous perforation of the bile duct in children. Methods:The clinical data of eight children with spontaneous perforation of the bile duct between 1998 -2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Results:5 of 8 cases were diagnosed bile duct perforativn before operation,all the patients recovered favorably after T-tube and pelvic drainage. 3 children complicated with choledochal cyst were cured afterⅡstage radical operation. Conclusions:the etiology of spontaneous perforation of the bile duct in children is unclear, panereaticobiliary confluence malfunction (PBCM) maybe the main reason. Peritoneocentesis is very important to the diagnosis, which is difficult in child preoperatively. The effective surgical treatments are T-tube and pelvic drainage. The children complicated with PBCM needⅡstage radical operation,and long term follow up are necessary for the children present with spontaneous perforation of the bile duct without PBCM.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(1):52-55
Objective To investigate the effects of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum on serum markers of liver fibrosis in cholesterol-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in rabbits. Methods Forty adult male white rabbits were randomly divided into a normal control group, a model group, a treatment group and a simvastatin group, with 10 rabbits in each group. NAFLD was induced with a high-cholesterol diet. After modeling, the rabbits in the treatment group were intragastrically administrated with Gynostemma Pentaphyllum 5 mg/(kg?d), the simvastatin group with simvastatin 5 mg/(kg?d), and the model and normal control groups with the equal volume of distilled water for 9 weeks. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), the serum inflammatory maker C-reactive protein (CRP), the serum markers of liver fibrosis such as hyaluronic acid and laminin (LN), and the TG level in the liver tissue were detected. Results Compared with the normal control group, the serum levels of TC (60.50 ± 9.77 mg/L vs.1.30 ± 0.44 mg/L), TG (1.72 ± 0.61 mmol/L vs. 0.85 ± 0.39 mmol/L), CRP (256.79 ± 30.78 mg/L vs. 8.71 ± 1.41 mg/L), HA (798.8 ± 69.4 ng/ml vs. 121.2 ± 6.8 ng/ml),LN (964.8 ± 62.8 ng/ml vs. 142.4 ± 12.2 ng/ml) in the model group were increased significantly (all P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of TC (36.44 ± 6.57 mmol/L vs. 60.50 ± 9.77 mmol/L), TG (1.31 ± 0.39 mmol/L vs. 1.72 ± 0.61 mmol/L), CRP (68.77 ± 10.78 mg/L vs. 256.79 ± 30.78 mg/L), HA (420.8 ± 60.2 ng/ml vs. 798.8 ± 69.4 ng/ml), LN (449.8 ± 56.6 ng/ml vs. 964.8 ± 62.8 ng/ml) and the TG level in the liver tissue (0.52 ± 0.10 mmol/L vs. 0.77 ± 0.08 mmol/L) in the treatment group were decreased significantly (all P<0.01). The TG level in the liver tissue in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the simvastatin group (0.52 ± 0.10 mmol/L vs. 0.59 ± 0.09 mmol/L;P<0.05). There were no significant difference in the serum levels of TC, TG,CRP,HA and LN between the treatment group and the simvastatin group (all P>0.05). Conclusions Gynostemma Pentaphyllum may regulate lipid metabolism, alleviate inflammation, and decrease serum markers of liver fibrosis, and might protect against liver fibrosis in rabbits with NAFLD.
