Objective To analyse the CT features of pulmonary echinococcosis and to assess CT value in diagnosing this disease.Methods CT fingings of pulmonary echinococcosis in 35 cases proved pathologically were analyzed retrospectively.Results Pulmonary granulosus echinococcosis was 33 cases including simple hydatid cyst (11 lesions),datugter cyst hydatid (3 lesions),with calcification (1 lesion) ,rupture (11 lesions),merging infection (4 lesions) and rupture into thorax (3 lesions).Pulmonary alveolar echinococcosis was 2 lesions,CT findings apperared as irregular,peripherally scattered more nodules with small vacuoles or calcification and in combination with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.Conclusion Pulmonary echinococcosis had characteristic features on CT,CT examination can provide more imaging informations for the treatment of pulmonary echinococcosis

[Objective] Based on the resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the abnormal features of the functional connectivity of resting brain neural network in the patients with primary insomnia,by using voxel-wise whole-brain finctional networks analysis of degree centrality (DC) for imaging evidence of neural mechanisms underlying primary insomnia.[Methods] The resting state fMRI were performed in 59 PI patients and 47 age,education,and sex-matched normal healthy subjects.Analysis of DC map changes between the two patient groups and the control group were performed by two sample t test.(threshold at P < 0.05).[Results] Compared with the control group,the patients with PI showed significantly reduced DC value in bilateral medial frontal gyrus (MFG),bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG),and right insula;and increased DC value in right middle temporal gyrus (MTG),and left cuneus,(CUN),P < 0.05.[Conclusion]Changes of DC value occurred in some region of brain in the P[patient groups when compared with the control group.It was indicated that DC,as a novel resting-state fMRI parameter in the voxel-wise whole-brain functional networks,might be an appealing alternative approach for further study on pathologic and neuropsychological states of PI.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a kind of devastating and common neuropsychiatric disorder, and its etiology remains to be determined. Dizocilpine MK-801 animal models, which can cover the major endophenotypes of SCZ, are widely used in the study of SCZ. In this paper, the research status is reviewed about the pathogenic mechanism, modeling method, behavioral characteristics of MK-801 animal models of SCZ in recent years in order to provide some possible ideas for the study of SCZ.
