Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2012;37(3):311-315
The increasing magnetic strengths used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with a greater number of MRI patients with cochlear implants (CIs) raises possible safety issues.This paper reviews the interactions between MRI and CI,and assesses MRI compatibility and safety of CIs at 0.2,0.3,1.0,1.5 and 3.0 tesla (T).In a word,CIs represent a significantcontraindication to MRI.Only after careful evaluation of the individual risk and careful preparations can an MRI be safely performed.
2.Predictors of hemorrhagic transformation after thrombolysis in patients with ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(8):734-739
Hemorrhagic transformation is a common complication after ischemic stroke, especially after thrombolytic therapy. Its disability and mortality are very high. Therefore, it limits the clinical application of thrombolytic therapy. This article reviews the types of hemorrhagic transformation, possible mechanisms and predictors after thrombolysis for ischemic stroke in order to provide reference for clinical treatment and research of ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) in angiogenesis and neurogenesis during cerebral ischemia in mice.Methods Twenty-four wild-type and 24 TNFR1 knockout mice were randomly divided into either a sham operation group or a focal cerebral ischemia group (n =12 in each group).5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was injected intraperitoneally at day 3 after cerebral ischemia and sham operation.At day 7 and 28 after cerebral ischemia,the double-label immunofluorescence staining of glucose transporter-1(Glut-1)/BrdU was used to evaluate the angiogenesis surrounding the areas of infarction.A labeled BrdU was used to detect the neural stem cell proliferation in the subventricular zone.Double-labeled doublecortin (DCX)/BrdU and neuronal nuclei antigen (NeuN)/BrdU were used to detect the migration and survival of neural stem cells,respectively.Results Under the normal condition,there was no significant difference in angiogenesis and the number of BrdU-positive cells in the subependymal zone (SVZ) between the wild-type (418.000 ± 28.404) and TNFR1 knockout (528.000 ± 60.597) mice (t =-1.644,P =0.131).At day 7 after cerebral ischemia,the number of Glut-1/BrdU-positive cells in the TNFR1 knockout mice was significantly less than that in the wild-type mice (14.833 ± 2.182 vs.27.5 ± 4.209) (t =2.672,P =0.023),and the number of DCX/B3rdU-positive cells was also significantly less than that in the wild-type mice (163.000 ± 11.106 vs.257.168 ± 12.213) (t =5.705,P =0.000).At day 28 after cerebral ischemia,the number of NeuN/BrdU-positive cells in the TNFR1 knockout mice was significantly less than that in the wildtype mice (6.000 ± 0.577 vs.11.000± 1.571) (t=2.988,P=0.014).Conclusions TNFR1 may play a promoting role in the neurovascular reggeneration in late cerebral ischemia.
7.Randomized and controlled study of the effect of rosiglitazone on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetic patients
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2008;16(12):708-710
Objective To observe the effect of rosiglitazone on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods The 95 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics with CT scan displayed NAFLD were enrolled and divided into three groups randomly:(1) rosiglitazone group (R group) were treated for six months with rosiglitazone,4mg once daily,(2) metformin group (M group) were treated with metformin,0.5g three times daily,(3) control group were treated with other medicines except for thiazolidinedione and metformin. Results The CT value ratio of liver to spleen,disappearance rate of fatty liver and ISI were much higher in R group than in M group,while those were much higher in M group than in control group. HOMA-IR was lowest in R group and highest in control group. FIns in R group and M group was much lower than in control group. Conclusions Rosiglitazone can treat NAFLD,increase the insulin sensitivity and improve the insulin resistance in T2DM patients. The therapeutic effects of rosiglitazone are better than metformin. Rosiglitazone has no damage on liver function in our study

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnostic role of dental computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional reconstruction (3DR) compared with conventional dental periapical radiography (DPR) in the diagnosis of molar furcation involvement (FI). Methods Dental CT and 3DR were performed about a maxillary first molar and its alveolar bone diagnosed as FI II? by conventional probe technique, and the images were compared with that of DPR. Results The images of dental CT scans and 3DR showed not only the area, type and quantity of periodontal destruction, but also the complex stereoscopic anatomical vision and ambient spatial relationship around the molar. Especially, the images displayed the alveolar destructions of the dental buccal and palate site that could not always be demonstrated by DPR. The degree of the molar FI was defined as III? in fact. Conclusion Dental CT and 3DR have many superiorities and value, which can not be replaced by DPR, in the clinical diagnosis and prognostic judgment of molar furcation involvement.

Etrotic Company produced thermoplastic diaphragm (ERKOLODC-pro, 595115) can be shaped according to dental arch form under vacuum heating pressure, resulting in good fixation and baffle effect. Nine cases with soft and hard palate defect caused by tumor, who needed the repair of temporal obturator prosthesis made by thermoplastic diaphragm (1.5 mm of thickness), were selected in this study at the Department of Stomatology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA from September 2006 to January 2007. Different diaphragms were used according to periodontal status. Only one case with more soft palate defect felt naupathia when wore this kind of denture near throat. After 1 week, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared. Three patients felt pain, and the main reason is tissue dropsy around wound entry and denture crackdown. After grinding, pain disappeared. This indicated that no adverse reaction in biocompatibility was detected between thermoplastic diaphragm and host. Temporal prosthesis can improve swallowing and voiced function of soft and hard palate defect patients by closing nasal cavity.
