Purpose To analyze the relevance between magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging intratumoral susceptibility signal intensity (ITSS) and diffusion weighted imaging apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with different grade gliomas, and to explore the value of ITSS and ADC in the preoperative grading of gliomas. Materials and Methods Fifty-two cases of glioma patients underwent magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging and diffusion weighted imaging scans, all subjects were divided into low-grade glioma group (18 cases) and high-grade glioma group (34 cases) according to brain tumor grading standard, correlation between ITSS grade and ADC values with tumor grade was analyzed, and ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ITSS and ADC values in the grading of brain glioma. Results Difference of ITSS grading was statistically significant (χ2=27.458, P<0.01) among different grade gliomas;difference of ADC values between different grade gliomas was also statistically significant (U=689.000, P<0.01); there was a significant positive correlation (r=0.727, P<0.001) between ITSS grading and pathological grading, ADC values were significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.622, P<0.001) with tumor grading, and ITSS grading was significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.617, P<0.001) with ADC values among different grade brain gliomas. With pathological grading as reference standard, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ITSS for preoperative glioma grading was 85.29%, 77.78%, 82.69%, 87.88%and 73.68%, respectively, while the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ADC values for preoperative glioma grading was 97.06%, 88.89%, 94.23%, 94.29%and 94.12%, respectively. Conclusion There is a significant correlation between ITSS grading, ADC values and pathological grading of gliomas, the combination use of ITSS and ADC values can significantly improve the preoperative grading accuracy of brain glioma.

Spore suspension of Streptomyce s griseus AS 818 (10 6/mL)was radiated b y Co 60 -radiation,the radiation dosage was 1?10 4rad.And 5 streptomy cin resis tant mutants (above 50?g/mL) were screened,then the resistant level of mutant RL-4 was induced to 100?g/mL.The number of RL-4 colonizing on soybean roots pl anted on 1% Water agar or in sterile soil was determined.The results showed tha t it could colonize on soybean rhizosphere and rhizoplane for a short period,bu t there is a little difference.When it was examined in 1% Water agar,the numb er of RL-4 raised gradually in soybean rhizoplane in 4 weeks.But when examined in sterile soil,RL-4 reduced about 100 times at the 1 st week,then raised gradually and reached the highest point at the 3 rd week,and decreased aga in at the 4 th week,In the rhizoplane,it reduced gradually from the 1 st week,and couldn't be examined at the 4 th week. Mutant RL-4 couldn't be found in soybean endorhizosphere by tissue printing.

0.05 ) within 4 hours of occlusion. The minimum DA%s after occlusion were 22.19 ? 6.21 , 16.26 ? 3.88 , 6.24 ? 2.48 , 7.97 ? 2.78 and 8.80 ? 3.45 at the time instances of occlusion,1,2,3,and 4 hours after occlusion,respectively. The minimum DA%s were related to the infarcted area (IA) in the pathology within 2-4 hours of occlusion,with the values of r equal to 0.76 , 0.80 ,and 0.85 ,respectively. Conclusions Within the different time intervals after the LAD were occluded,the maximum DA%s have no significant difference,however the minimum DA%s change and relate to the IA% after 2 hours of occlusion.

The process of exercise regulating bone metabolism is complicated, which involves a number of signaling pathways. A large number of studies in vitro have indicated that mechanical stress regulates bone metabolism by Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), and osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) signaling pathways. Both the in-tensity and frequency of mechanical stress have varing impact on bone tissue and cells. Plenty of studies in vivo also have shown that exer-cise regulates bone metabolism by key factors in bone metabolism signaling pathways. This paper reviewed the effects of exercise on bone metabolism pathways and their mechanisms.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of baicalein on the gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) in the TM4 Sertoli cells of the mouse testis and its related mechanism.

METHODSWe measured the cytotoxicity of different concentrations of baicalein on the TM4 Sertoli cells in the mouse testis by MTT, detected the fluorescence transfer of the TM4 Sertoli cells by parachute assay, and determined the expression of the protein connexin 43 ( Cx43) in the baicalein-treated cells by Western blot and immunofluorescence assay.

RESULTSBaicalein produced no obvious cytotoxicity on the TM4 Sertoli cells at the concentration below 60 µmol/L but significantly increased their GJIC at 0-20 µmol/L (P < 0.01). Western blot and immunofluorescence assay showed that 0-20 µmol/L baicalein remarkably elevated the expression of Cx43 in the TM4 cells (P < 0.01) and on the membrane of the TM4 cells.

CONCLUSIONBaicalein at the concentration of 0-20 µmol/L can significantly enhance GJIC in mouse TM4 Sertoli cells by increasing the expression of the Cx43 protein.
