Objective To explore the value of three-dimensional constructive inference in steady state sequence (3D-CISS se-quence)in case of midbrain aqueduct obstruction.Methods 46 cases with midbrain aqueduct obstruction were scanned with FLASH T1 WI、TSE T2 WI and 3D-CISS sequence at 3.0T superconductive MR scanner.The original images of the 3D-CISS sequence were reconstructed.The images of three sequences showing midbrain aqueduct obstruction were observed and analyzed.Results The de-tection rate of the midbrain aqueduct obstruction was 13% 、71.7% and 100% in FLASH T1 WI、TSE T2 WI and 3D-CISS sequence, respectively.The difference between the three sequences were significant (P <0.01 67).Conclusion 3D-CISS sequence shows mid-brain aqueduct obstruction more accurately.

AIM: To compare the adherent ability of Acanthamoeba to three kinds of contact lens (CL) and survey the effect to remove the Acanthamoeba from the surface of contact lens after blowing with stroke-physiological saline solution (SPSS) repeatedly.METHODS: Three kinds of contact lens were chosen in this experiment, including: rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens, soft contact lens (SCL) and colored contact lens. They were co-cultivated with Acanthamoeba suspension for 16 hours. Then the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL was compared. Comparison was also made between different zones of colored CL. We also compared the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL in three groups after blowing with SPSS.RESULTS: The number of Acanthamoeba adhered to colored CL was more than RGP group and SCL group (P<0.05). The differences between RGP group and SCL group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). In colored CL group, the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to the colored zone was more than the Uncolored zone (P<0.01). In all the three groups, after blowing with SPSS, there was statistically significant decrease of the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to CL (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Compared with RGP group and SCL group, the colored contact lens was more vulnerable to be adhered by Acanthamoeba. After being blown by SPSS repeatedly, the effect to eliminate Acanthamoeba has been improved greatly.

Objective To observe the influence of warm ischemia time on acquisition of rat pancreatic islets and islet function.Method Male Wistar rats were used.After heart beats stopped,the pancreases in four groups of rats were harvested,and warm ischemia time was 0,15,30 and 45 min separately.The pancrease was preserved in UW at 4℃C for 8 h,and subjected to injection of collagenase solutions.After islets were acquired,the purity,survival rate and islet activity were tested,and statistical analysis was performed.Result The number of islets obtained in 0 min group,15 min group,30 min group and 45 min group was (433 ± 41),(396 ± 38),(350 ± 31) and (66 ± 17)IEQ/one,islet viability was 94%,88%,77% and 25%,and purity was 88%,78%,60% and 32%,and insulin release index was 2.38 ± 0.23,2.25 ± 0.18,2.19-± 0.18 and 1.25 ± 0.12,respectively.There was no significant difference in islet number,purity,survival rate and activity 15 min group and 30 min group between 15 min group or 30 min group and 0 min group (P>0.05).There was significant difference between 45 min group and 0 min group in islet number,purity,survival rate and activity (P<0.05).The survival rate and purity in 45 min group were lower than the clinical standards for islet transplantation (survival rate > 75%,and purity > 50%).Conclusion Warm ischemia time of 15 min in non-heart-beating brain death(NHBD) rats had no effect on islet isolation and purification.Warm ischemia time within 30 min showed no significant influence on islets of NHBD rats,which can be used in islet transplantation.Warm ischemia time at 45 min showed significant influence on islets of NHBD rats,which can't be used in islet transplantation.

Objective To test red cells of bone marrow and hematopoietic cells of rats with liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in different time period;To discuss the change rules in the blood system. Methods Rat models with liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome were made by composite method of anger by restraint stress, clipping tails, over fatigue, and abnormal diet. The hemogram, red cells of bone marrow, marrow nucleated red blood cells, stem cell factor, and erythropoietin of male rats in normal group and model group were detected at 2nd, 6th and 9th weeks. Results Compared with normal group, hematokrit and metarubricyte in model group of 2 weeks was higher in the model group (P<0.05);erythropoietin in model group of 6 weeks decreased (P<0.01);red cell counts, red protein level, hemoglobin, hematokrit, and erythropoietin in model group of 9 weeks were lower (P<0.05);red cell counts, hemoglobin, hematokrit, prorubricyte, metarubricyte, and erythropoietin in model group of 6 and 9 weeks were significantly lower than those in model group of 2 weeks (P<0.05, P<0.01). The number of marrow nucleated red blood cells in model group of 2 weeks decreased (P<0.05). Stem cell factor showed no significant difference. Conclusion The rats with liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome can increase the number of red blood cells in a short time when they suffer from stress stimulation, so that they can fight the damage factors. But long-term stress stimulation will lead the rats to anemia, which may be associated with the reduction of erythropoietin.

Objective To explore the value of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)of MRI diffusion-weighted (DW)in diag-nosing pathologic stage and histologic grade of bladder cancer.Methods 42 patients with confirmed bladder cancer underwent pelvic MRI examination including T2 WI and diffusion-weighted imaging (b values of 0 and 1 000 s/mm2 )Based on pathologic results,42 cases of bladder cancer were divided into three groups of Ta-T1 stage (non-muscle invasive),T2 stage (muscle invasive)and T3-T4 stage (around the bladder and other organizations invasive).Of 42 bladder cancers,36 urothelial carcinomas were divided into papillary urothelial neoplasm with low malignant potential (PUNLMP),low grade urothelial carcinoma and high grade urothelial carcinoma group.Tumor diameter and ADC were measured on DW imaging,and compared among different groups.Results The mean size of high grade tumors (4.52 ± 1.61)cm was significantly larger than that of PUNLMP (2.28 ± 0.51)cm and low grade tumors (1.69 ± 0.53)cm.The mean ADC of high grade tumors (0.83 ± 0.27)×10-3 mm2/s was significantly lower than that of PUNLMP (1.46 ± 0.30)×10-3 mm2/s and low grade tumors (1.17±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s (P<0.01).T3-T4 stage tumors showed significantly lower ADC (0.82±0.21)×10-3 mm2/s than T2 (1.01 ± 0.09)×10 -3 mm2/s and Ta-T1 stage tumors (1.24 ± 0.13)×10 -3 mm2/s (P <0.01).Conclusion DW ima-ging combined with conventional MR sequences is useful for displaying morphology of bladder cancer.DW imaging and ADC are use-ful in evaluation of pathologic stage and histologic grade of bladder cancer.

Objective:
This study investigates the association between mental disorders and interferon nontreatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a large national sample.
Methods:
Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, we conducted a nationwide population-based study. Each case was matched to five controls by age, sex, urbanization, and income. Conditional logistic regression was used to assess odds of HCV nontreatment in different mental disorders.
Results:
From 1999 to 2013, we identified 92,970 subjects with HCV infection and 15,495 HCV cases (16.7%) had received IFN therapy. Other than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the medical diseases and mental disorders were significantly different between IFN and non-IFN treated HCV patients. After adjusting for medical diseases, depressive disorder and anxiety disorder was positively associated with receiving IFN therapy. Patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and alcohol use disorders were significantly less likely to receive interferon. Antidepressant exposure (cumulative daily exposure or cumulative daily dose) was associated with lower odds of IFN treatment.
Conclusion
Our nationwide cohort study demonstrated that INF nontreatment rate was lower in certain mental disorders. Antidepressant exposure might lower the chance of receiving IFN treatment. Our results may help to identify and to overcome the obstacles for HCV treatment and further apply to DAAs regimen.
