AIM: To observe the effects of overload exercise on skeletal muscles in X-linked muscular dystrophy(mdx) mice.METHODS: Mdx mice and C57 mice were carried out swimming and hanging tail movement tests (mdx mice as control did not exercise). It lasted for 13 minutes each time per day, and lasted 3 days. Evans blue was injected into tail vain. The mice were killed the next day, and the hind limbs were taken photographs after skins were flayed. The gastrocnemius muscles and diaphragms cryostat sections were made. Under a fluorescence microscope, Evans blue staining was seen. Then the sections were tested by routine HE staining, the histological change of muscles was analyzed under a light microscope.RESULTS: Many blue colored longitudinal lines were observed in skeletal muscles of mdx mice, whereas they were hardly seen in control mdx and C57 mice. Under a fluorescence microscope, some muscle fibers of mdx mice were stained with Evans blue, few muscle fibers of control mdx mice were stained, and C57 mice were not. Under a light microscope, HE staining of muscles showed some degenerated muscle fibers became round in shape and the myonuclei became condensed, or necrotic fibers had amorphous structures, most of them in the degenerated and necrotic fibers of diaphragms C57 mice did not have these changes.CONCLUSION: Overload exercise did harm to skeletal muscles of mdx mice; Vital staining with Evans blue is useful not only for distinguishing degenerating muscle fibers, but also for studying the degeneration process in dystrophin-deficient muscle.

AIM: To observe skeletal muscle damage of mdx mice after overload exercise, and protection to muscle damage induced by exercise due to myoblast transplantation (MTT). METHODS: Muscle samples of C 57 mice were minced and digested with trypsin, and myoblasts were cultured ex vivo , purified and detected by immunohistochemistry stains. The myoblasts were injected into muscle of left limb of mdx mice, whereas the right limb was injected with DMEM liquid as control. Mice were submitted to exercise for 3 days starting 1 month after MTT, and then Evans blue was injected intravenously through the tail vein. The muscle cryostat sections of mdx mice were made, and then detected the immunofluorescence of dystrophin. Under a fluorescence microscope, the number of fiber stained with Evans blue and dystrophin was counted, analyzed quantitatively with image software. RESULTS: Under a fluorescence microscope, only 10 37%?2 87% muscle fibers in the myoblast grafted muscles were stained with Evans blue. In contrast, 26 82%?14 85% muscle fibers in right control muscles were stained. Significant differences between these two groups were showed ( P

Objective:To evaluate the value of synthetic MRI combined with DWI in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:The data of 184 consecutive patients with suspected breast lesions in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from July to September 2019 were prospectively analyzed. All patients were randomly assigned to training group ( n=110) and validation group ( n=74), and underwent conventional MRI and synthetic MRI respectively before and after contrast injection. At the maximum slice of the lesion, the ROI was drawn along the edge and recorded as "tumor". In the solid area with the most obvious tumor enhancement, the second ROI was drawn and recorded as "local". At the same time, ADC values (ADC local and ADC tumor) and relaxation time values (T local and T tumor) were measured. T and T + represented the relaxation time value of the ROI pre-and post-contrast scanning. ΔT% represented the relative change rate in T value between pre-and post-contrast scanning.The rank sum test was used to test the quantitative parameters of benign and malignant breast lesions in the training group and the validation group, and the variables with P<0.05 were included in the binary logistic regression analysis to screen the independent variables and establish the prediction model. The area under ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination of parameters and models. The clinical applicability of model was analyzed by decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:In the training group, univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in T 1tumor, T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2local, T 2+local, T 2tumor and T 2+tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor between benign and malignant breast lesions ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor were independent variables in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The relaxation time model (model A: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor) and ADC model (model B: ADC local, ADC tumor) established by combining the above variables had the same diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.905, 0.914, Z=-1.874, P=0.062), and the multi-parameter combination model (model C: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor) had the highest diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.965). DCA analysis showed that when the threshold probability ranges between 21%-99% (training cohort) and 15%-99% (validation cohort), the net benefit of model C was better than model A and B. Conclusion:The multi-parameter combined prediction model established based on the relaxation time value and ADC can identify breast cancer efficiently and can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.

Objective To investigate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameters in the diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods A retrospective analysis of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI in 55 patients with pathologically diagnosed cervical squamous cell carcinoma without prior treatment. They were divided into three groups based on grade of differentiation: well differentiated ( 6 patients),moderately differentiated(28 patients)and poorly differentiated group(21 patients). Capacity volume transfer constant (Ktrans),exchange rate constant(Kep) and extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) were measured in each group of patients, and comparing the correlation with ANOVA, DCE-MRI parameters and grading of squamous differentiation using Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results Ktrans of the poorly, moderately and well differentiated cervical squamous cell carcinoma were (2.42±0.58),(1.71± 0.78),(1.27±0.78)/min respectively, Kep were (4.17±1.23),(3.08±1.58),(2.55±0.87)/min respectively, Ve were 0.60 ± 0.12,0.60 ± 0.19,0.43 ± 0.17 respectively. Statistical difference of Ktransand Kep were found among the subgroups of different pathological grading.(F values were 7.518 and 4.234,P all<0.05), Ve difference was not statistically significant (F=2.382, P>0.05). Statistical difference of Ktransand Kep were seen in multiple comparisons, between the groups of poorly and moderately differentiated groups poorly and well differentiated groups (P all<0.05),difference was not statistically significant of Ktransand Kep were seen in the groups of moderately and well differentiated groups(P> 0.05). There were moderate negative correlation between Ktrans,Kep and the pathological degree (r=-0.531 and -0.446, P=0.001 and 0.002), Ve had no correlation between pathological grade (r= -0.220, P = 0.141).Conclusion DCE-MRI parameters Ktrans and Kep reveal perfusion characteristics in different pathological grades of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
