Objective To investigate MR findings and analysis of misdiagnosis of atypical invasive pituitary adenoma.Methods The MR findings of twenty cases of atypical invasive pituity adenomas confirmed by pathology were reviewed ,which were misdiag-nosed as chordomas or meningiomas.Results All the twenty cases showed iso-or slightly hypo-signal on T1 WI,iso-or slightly hy-per-signal on T2 WI;Enhanced scan displayed heterogeneous enhancement.The dynamic enhancement curve showed rapid enhance-ment phase.The bilateral cavernous sinuswere infringed in nine cases,in which the pituity and pituity stalk were not well seen. Among the twenty cases,twelve cases with suprasellar and anterior cranial fossa extension were misdiagnosed as meningiomas;eight cases with clival destruction were misdiagnosed as chordomas.Conclusion The MR features of atypical invasive pituity adenomas are various.In order to avoid misdiagnosis,a comprehensive analysis should be based on a variety of signs.

Objective To investigate the value of spiral CT for the diagnosis and treatment of congenital anorectal malformations (CARM). Methods Thirty children with CARM underwent lateral upside-down plain film in abdomen and spiral CT scanning in pelvic cavity before surgical operation. The distance between rectal blind end and anal fossa in two imaging modalities was measured. The correlation between the measurement results in two imaging modalities was compared with operational results. Sacral deformation was diagnosed according to 3D reconstruction of CT images. Results The measurement results obtained from CT were correlated positively with those of operation (r=0.99, P<0.01). CARM combined with curved sacrum was diagnosed in one child. No correlation was found between the measurement results of X-ray and operation (r=0.31, P>0.05). Conclusion Spiral CT scanning can accurately describe the atresic level of rectum and malformation of sacrum. It can provide reliable evidence for surgeon to choose the best surgical method and to judge prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of B7-H3 on human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 mediating regulation on human peripheral blood CD8+T cell activation,cell cycle and secretion of IL-17.Methods The expression of the B7-H3 on HepG2 cells was detected by RT-PCR and FCM respectively.B7-H3 was silenced by PGPU6/GFP/neo-B7-H3shRNA plasmid via cathodolyte liposome transfection method.CD8+T cells were sorted from healthy human peripheral blood with immunomagetic beads.The effect of HepG2 cells on activation,cell cycle and cytokine secretion of CD8+T cells which was stimulated by PHA or PMA respectively were analyzed by FCM.Results B7-H3 was highly expressed on HepG2 cells,and PGPU6/GFP/neo-B7-H3shRNA plasmid could effectively block down its expression.Otherwise,HepG2 cells could inhibit the expression of CD69,the early activation phenotype of T cell,blockade B7-H3 on HepG2 cells could significantly attenuate the inhibitory effects.Likewise,blockade B7-H3 on HepG2 cells apparently reversed the inhibitory effects of HepG2 cells on CD8+T cell cycle through down-regulating the cell number in G0/G1 phase and up-regulating the cell number in S phase;Moreover,HepG2 cells caused a sharp increase of IL-17 which was secreted by CD8+T cells and the level of IL-17 was further up-regulated after blocking down B7-H3.Conclusion HepG2 cells highly expressed B7-H3 that could promote the inhibitory the effect of HepG2 on expression of CD69 and cell cycle of CD8+T cells.HepG2 cells were able to up-regulate the level of IL-17 secreted by CD8+T cells,in which B7-H3 played an inhibitory role.

Objective To understand the status of oipA gene of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and to evaluate the relationship between oipA gene and digestive disease, Methods Biopsy gastric mucosa were obtained from 360 patients with digestive disease under gastroscopy. H.pylori was isolated from urease positive and some negative samples, and then identified by microscope, urease test and 16 S rRNA PCR. oipA and cagA genes of the isolates were amplified by PCR and the status of oipA signal region was analyzed after sequencing. The relationship between functional oipA gene of H. pylori and digestive disease was investigated. Results One hundred and six isolats were obtained. Seventy-two strains were positive for cagA gene and 87 were positive for oipA gene in signal region. Eighty strains were on open status in signal region called functioal oipA gene and 1 was on off status. The status of other 6 strains were uncertain. The frequency of functional oipA in ulcer and atrophic gastritis were higher than that of cagA(100% and 78.26% vs 58.33% and 39.13%).Conclusion Functional oipA gene is closely related with ulcer and atrophic gastritis.
