Objective To review the examination techniques and the current research progress of the magnetic resonance diffusion weighted-imaging (DWI) used in liver. Methods The recent and relevant literatures about the principles and the current study situation of liver DWI were scrutinized and analyzed retrospectively. In addition, the existing problems of liver DWI were discussed. Results DWI could demonstrate the normal and abnormal structure and function through measuring the diffusion motions of water molecule in the liver. With the improving technology and better understanding of diffusion dynamics, DWI has been used for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis for hepatic diseases. Conclusion DWI as a non-invasive examine method, may provide valuable functional information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of rapamycin eluting stent(Cypher~(TM)) and metal bare stent on the prognosis and C-reactive protein(CRP) in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).(Methods The) immediate angiographic and clinic follow-up outcomes of 45 elderly patients with AMI reciving Cypher~(TM) and bare stent were retrospectively analyzed.CRP levels in Cypher~(TM) and bare stent groups were determined before implantation,6 h,1 d,7 d and 30 d after implantation.Clinical follow-up and major coronary events analysis were developed after operation.Results 27 rapamycin eluting stents were implanted in patients of Cypher~(TM) group and(26 bare) stents were implanted in patients of bare stent group.The Cypher~(TM) stents were successfully implanted with 100%.In patients of Cypher~(TM) group,no serious complications were found in the term of operation and in hospital.There was no restenosis,revascularization and events.In patients of bare stent group,except for(1 patients) with sudden death,angina pectoris occurred in 2 patients,repeat angiography showed that there were new lesions in other coronary arteries of these patients.Restenosis attacked in 2 patients.The concentrations of CRP in Cypher~(TM) and bare stent groups 6 h and 7 d after operation were much higher than that of(pre-operation (P

Objective To develop a TaqMan MGB probe-based,sensitive and specific real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay for rapid detection of Helicobacter hepaticus.Methods Primers and probes specific toflaB gene of Helicobacter hepaticus were designed.A TaqMan MGB probe-based,real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was established.The specificity,sensitivity and stability of the assay were assassed.Then,the established TaqMan MGB probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay was applied to detect Helicobacter hepaticus in 1081 clinical specimens during 2008-2011,compared with bacterial isolation and culture method and conventional PCR assay.Results The specificity of this established TaqMan MGB probe-based real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was high and there were no cross-reactivity with Helicobacter pylori,Campylobacter jejuni,Clostridium piliforme,Pasteurella pneumotropica,Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The detection limits was 8.3 copies.The correlation coefficient and slope value of standard curve were 0.999 and -3.227,respectively and the efficiency of TaqMan MGB-based probe realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR assay was 100％.The TaqMan MGB-based probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and conventional PCR were preformed to detect Helicobacter hepaticus in 1081 clinical specimens,a total of 86 specimens were positive for Helicobacter hepaticus.However,there was only 4 specimens were positive by bacteria isolation and culture method.The results showed that TaqMan MGB -based probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR for Helicobacter hepaticas was more sensitive than bacteria isolation and culture method,and it could detect Helicobacter hepaticus DNA from clinical specimens directly,and detection time is only 2 hours.Conclusion The TaqMan MGB-based probe real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay was a reliable,specific,sensitive and useful tool for rapid detection of Helicobacter hepaticus.
