0.05). Conclusion pcDNA3.1/SjTs-1 induced the mucosal and systemic immune response and partial protection against the challenge of S.japonicum by the intranasal vaccinations of mice.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the functional locations of brain regions related to internet addiction (IA)with task-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). METHODS: Nineteen college students who had internet game addition and 19 controls accepted the stimuli of videos via computer. The 3.0 Tesla MRI was used to record the Results of echo plannar imaging. The block design method was used. Intragroup and intergroup analysis Results in the 2 groups were obtained. The differences between the 2 groups were analyzed. RESULTS: The internet game videos markedly activated the brain regions of the college students who had or had no internet game addiction. Compared with the control group, the IA group showed increased activation in the right superior parietal lobule, right insular lobe, right precuneus, right cingulated gyrus, and right superior temporal gyrus. CONCLUSION Internet game tasks can activate the vision, space, attention and execution center which are composed of temporal occipital gyrus and frontal parietal gyrus. Abnormal brain function and lateral activation of the right brain may exist in IA.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the multislice spiral computer tomography (MSCT) manifestations and its value in the diagnosis of urachus lesions. METHODS: A total of 26 patients with urachus disease diagnosed by pathological examination in our hospital between October 2007 and May 2011 were included in this study. We retrospectively analyzed MSCT images on the size, location, and shape character of the foci, and the image features of Retzius space. RESULTS: In the group, 12 patients had simple urachal cyst with homogeneous fluid filling the cavity with thin wall in CT scanning; five had infected urachal cyst with thickened and enhanced wall, some patch and strip appearing in Retzius space surrounding the lesion; two had infected urachal sinus, and another 3 had urachus leakage. Four had urachal tumor showing irregular cysticsolid mass over the apex of the bladder with apparent enhancement in contrast imaging, and 2 had calcification. Invasion of the bladder wall was found in 4 patients, extensive invasion of the ileum, rectum, uterus and retroperitoneal lymph nodes was found in 1. CONCLUSION MSCT scan can demonstrate the location, shape, extent of the lesion as well as the relation with adjacent structures, thereby providing valuable information for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of urachus lesions.

Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is a magnetic resonance technology with a high resolution, three-dimensional gradient echo and fully velocity compensated sequence. It is also sensitive to substance with different magnetisability. Based on the quantitative reconstruction of SWI, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has been used in monitoring the change of intravenous iron, calcium, microbleeds and oxygen content. This article summarizes principle of QSM and the latest progress of QSM application in the diseases of central nervous system.
