Objective To study the characteristics of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) and it's role in glioma classfication. Methods 45 glioma patients with pathologically confirmion, underwent preopera-tive plain MRI, enhanced MRI and SWI examination. By using double blind method, the score of T1 WI, T2WI, enhanced T1 WI, SWI and enhanced SWI were acquired to display enhancing tumor, peritumoral edema, tumor hemorrhage and tumor vein. The tumor volume of low signal areas was measured by using measurement software to acquire the bleeding of tumor. Results In 26 cases of high grade gliomas,18 patients with intratu-moral, multiple patchy low signal cords in varying degrees, which were proved by pathology as tumor hemorrhage and tumor blood vessels; in 19 case of low grade gliomas, 10 cases occured a few spots, linear low signal in tumor, which were proved by pathology as tumor hemorrhage; the bleeding of high grade gliomas was higher than that of the low level group ( P < 0.05 ). SWI was superior to T, WI, T2 WI on displaying tumor hemorrhage and tumor vein(P<0. 05). Conclusion Different grades of glioma show obvious different display on SWI, and SWI probably be helpful for evaluation of glioma grading preoperatively.

OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory mechanism of timosaponin B-Ⅱ(TB-Ⅱ) on the proliferation and migration of human lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS:A549 cells were treated with TB-Ⅱ [0(blank control),1,10 and 100 μg/ml] for 48 h,and total RNA and total protein were extracted respectively. Real time fluorescence quantitative-PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein levels of IL-18. IL-18 in A549 cells was silenced by transfection;the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein were compared among untransfection group,negative control group and transfection group;and then human lung can-cer A549 cells with silenced gene were treated with 10 μg/ml TB-Ⅱ for 24,48 and 72 h. The activity of cell proliferation was de-tected with CCK-8,and the change of cell migration ability was observed by streak method. RESULTS:Compared with blank con-trol,the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein in A549 cells all increased after treated with TB-Ⅱ(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and were positively correlated with concentration. Compared with untransfection group,the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein de-creased in transfection group(P<0.01). Compared with untransfected cell treated with TB-Ⅱ,the viability and migration ability of A549 cells with transfection gene increased after treated with TB-Ⅱ for 72 h(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:TB-Ⅱ can inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells by up-regulating IL-18 gene expression.
