Journal of Practical Radiology 2015;(3):458-462
Objective To compare and determine the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)values of the normal liver parenchyma in respiratory-triggered,breath-hold,and free-breathing diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). Methods 11 volunteers did three times of breath-hold (excitation number is 1,at the end of the expiration,thickness/gapping=5 mm/1 mm), respiratory-triggered (excitation number is 2,at the end of the expiration,thickness/gapping=5 mm/1 mm),free-breathing (excitation number is 4,thickness/gapping=5 mm/1 mm)and for a total of nine axial liver DWI,the gradient factor was 800 s/mm2 .Then they were all coronally reconstructed (thickness/gapping=8 mm/1 mm).The nonparametric test was used to compare all axial and coronally reconstructed liver ADC values;and the Bland-Altman method was used to evaluate the ADC values’repeatability in coronally reconstructed images.Results The breath-hold DWI’s mean ADC value was (1.09±0.07)×10-3 mm2/s significantly lower than the respiratory-triggered DWI(1.16± 0.09)×10-3 mm2/s and the free-breathing DWI(1.19±0.10)×10-3 mm2/s(P<0.005),the axial and coronal images’results were similar.The ADC values’average difference and scope of consistency of coronal image were (-0.09 to -0.01±0.09 to 0.48)for breath-hold DWI,(-0.04 to 0.01±0.11 to 0.17)for respiratory-triggered DWI,(-0.07 to -0.02±0.11 to 0.18)for free-breathing DWI,respectively.Conclusion The breath-hold DWI’s ADC value of normal liver parenchyma is lower than the respiratory-triggered and free-breathing DWI,and showed more poorer repeatability.It is suggested that the measurement of ADC values of the liver parenchyma should be done within the respiratory-triggered or free-breathing DWI.
3.Recent progress in molecular genetics and therapy for X-linked juvenile retinoschisis
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(1):94-96
Juvenile retinoschisis (RS or XLRS,MIM#312700)is a rare X-linked inherited disorder,mainly affects bilateral retina,and is characterized by cartwheel-like changes of the macular region of the retina and schisis or splitting within the inner retinal layers,leading to visual deterioration.The electroretinogram is beneficial in the diagnosis of juvenile retinoschisis.The a-wave can be of normal or nearly normal amplitude in this disorder,whereas the amplitude of the b-wave is appreciably reduced,giving a decrease in the proportion of b/a.The responsible gene,XLRSl,maps to Xp22 and was identified by positional cloning.This paper makes a brief review about the latest XLRS research of pathogenesis,animal experiments,clinical therapy,and 25 references are cited.

Objective Our purpose was to report Initial clinical application experience and assess the immediate and short-term effect of transcatheter closure secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) using Amplatzer atrial septal ocluder.Methods Procedures were perfomed under fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography monitoring. Nine patients (3 male, 6 female) underwent attempted transcatheter closure of a ASD using the Amplatzer atrial septal ocluder device with 10F, 11F or 12F long sheath at a mediant age of 33.0?5.2 years (range 8 to 52 years) and weighed 22 kg or more. Other congenital cardiac anomanies which require surgery were excluded. The mediant diameter of ASD at its narrowest segement were mensureted with the balloon catheters was 23.3?6.2 mm (ranger 11 to 30 mm). Systolic pressures of pulmonary arteries were 24.4?5.5 mm Hg (24-46 mm Hg) with catheterization mensuration. After the procedure, TEE were perfomed immediately to find whether there any residual shunt retained. Follow-up evaluation was color flow mapping at 24 h, 1, 3 and 6-months after closure. Results Nine patients had successful device placement. Transesophageal echocardiography showed that 8 patients had complete immediate closure and one had a small residual shunt after the operation, and could get up in the next day. The complication of cerebral throumbus embolism occurred in one woman patient during the procedure. She accepted immediately thrombolysis therapy with urokinase and recovered after several days. Conclusion Transcatheter closure of secondum ASD using Amplatzer atrial septal occluder device is an effctive nonsurgical therapy method. The operation has specialities of simple, safe with a high succes rate of placement and a fine occlusion effect. Further clinical trias are underway.

7.Corticosteroid-induced severe glaucoma and posterior subcapsular cataract: a case report
International Eye Science 2009;9(9):1652-1654
Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma (CIG) is a form of open angle glaucoma associated with both topical and systemic administration of corticosteroids. Here we described the clinical findings in a patient with severe glaucoma and posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) after topical administration of corticosteroid eye drops. We concluded corticosteroid eye drop was an effective medicine for inflammation of the eyes; however,prolonged use could cause severe vision loss as a result of intractable corticosteroid-induced glaucoma and cataract.
