Purpose To investigate the effects and the mechanism of oleum curcumae wenchowensis (OCW) with different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg/mL) on chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K-562 cells in vitro.Methods The apoptosis of K-562 cells was dyed by Hoechest 33258 and detected by flow cytometry marked with Annexin V/PI. The Expression of Fas/FasL, bcr/abl, bcl-2 and p53 was detected by semi-quantity reverse transcript-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot.Results The results showed that the apoptosis rates were gradually elevated. The expression of Fas and FasL protein was increased in a concentration dependent manner, while bcr/abl, bcl-2 and p53 had no significant changes.Conclusion OCW could induce the apoptosis of K-562 cells by up-regulating the expression of Fas/FasL protein.

Objective To determine the value of liver analysis application in liver segmentation and planning of surgery.Methods Thirty patients suspected having hepatic disease were recruited in this study.Contrast-enhanced CT examinations were performed with Philips Brilliance 64-slice CT,and multi-phase images were obtained.The patients were divided into group B(with focal hepatic lesion,15 patients),and group A(without hepatic lesion,15 patients).We use the portal-venous(60-70 s)images to analysis.Liver volume and vessel recognition were edited manually if necessary,then liver segmentation proceeded automatically.All data were analyzed by the t test,chi-square test,Mann-Whitney U analysis,with SPSS 15.0 software.Results There was no significant difference of post-processing procedure between the two groups(P =0.361).The liver volume was(1374.61 ±444.05)cm3 in the group B and(1225.70±272.07)cm3 in the group A(P=0.108).The accuracy of vessel recognition was no significant difference between the two groups(P=0.87).21 vessels were recognized incorrectly include 18 hepatic veins.Conclusion The liver analysis application provides a 3D reconstruction allow vivid observation of liver segmentation and accurate estimation of the liver volume.It has broad prospect in diagnosing and surgical planning of the liver disease.

The first edition of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) is proposed by American College of Radiology (ACR) in 2011 for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in at-risk patients.It is created to standardize the reporting and data collection of CT and MR imaging for HCC to classify observation.Since it had been announced,many validation studies had been performed and the first edition of LI-RADS had been revised in 2013 and 2014,respectively.In July 2017,the latest revision (LI-RADS(R)v2017) has just been launched more reasonable and practical with new algorithms,new revised categories for LI-RADS and new criteria for many imaging features.The changes of CT/MR in LIRADS(R) v2017 were interpretated in this article.
