OBJECTIVE To study the changes in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) mRNA, tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA and the ratio of MMP-9 mRNA/TIMP-1 mRNA in the lungs of paraquate poisoning rats, and to investigate the protective effects of sodium dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS, Unithiol). METHODS One hundred and twenty male SD rats were divided into 12 groups (n=10) randomly: normal control, DMPS control, PQ poisoning 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 d model groups, (DMPS+PQ) 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 d groups. PQ poisoning model was established by intraperitoneal injecting paraquate. The expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA in lung tissues was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS ①By observing the changes of action and observing the lung tissues sections, the rats' PQ poisoning models was successfully established. ②The histopathology of lung showed infiltration of inflammatory cell in acute phase(within 2 weeks), the inflammation decreased gradually after 2 weeks, hyperplasia of collagen and pulmonary fibrosis were instead. Howerer, the pathological changes were alleviated obviously in the (DMPS+PQ) groups. ③Compared with the PQ groups, the expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA in lungs diminished greatly in the DMPS+PQ groups after rats injected DMPS(P<0.05); the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 mRNA was bigger at 7, 14 and 28 d in the DMPS+PQ groups after rats injected DMPS. CONCLUSION Down-regulation of the expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA and up-regulation ratio of MMP-9 mRNA/TIMP-1 mRNA by DMPS may be one of mechanisms by which pulmonary injury and pulmonary fibrosis are prevented in the acute paraquate poisoning.
7.Computation of mutual information in medical image registration based on mutual information.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2008;25(1):12-17
Registration based on mutual information is a typical method in medical image registration. Mutual information is a common similarity measure in image registration, which has excellent robustness and accuracy, but large calculation amount makes it difficult to be applied to clinics. In this paper, a registration algorithm based on multi-resolution and hybrid optimization is adopted to implement 2-dimension monomodal and multimodal registrations of MRI and CT images of human heads with different numbers of gray bins. Results of experiments show that registration precisions have not notable change with 32, 64 gray bins, compared with 256 gray bins, whereas the computation costs decrease remarkably.

Objective To investigate the CT features of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in children. Methods Eighteen patients with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor proven by surgery and pathology were examined with plain and contrast medium enhancement CT scan. Results Of 18 cases,16 had isolated lesions located at lung (n =4), mesentery (n =3), kidney (n =2) and trachea (n = 1 ),left main bronchus ( n = 1 ), right thoracic cavity ( n = 1 ), peritoneum cavity ( n = 1 ), pancreas ( n = 1 ),left thigh ( n = 1 ), prostate ( n = 1 ), superclvicle soft t tissue ( n = 1 ) , bladder ( n = 1 ). The other 2 cases were with multiple lesions on omentum and mesentery, and in intraperitoneal and side of split of right hepatic lobe, respectively. The CT findings of 18 cases included 16 solid mass with calcifications in 3 of them, and 2 solid-cystic mass. After contrast enhancement, moderate or marked homogeneous or heterogeneous enhancement were shown in all the solid parts of tumor on dynamic CT. Mass can compress surround great vessel and tube-like structure. On pathological examination, the tumor was mainly composed of spindleshaped fibrous cells and inflammatory cells, and the immunohistochemically staining for SMA was observed positively. Conclusion CT can provide specific information for diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, yet definite diagnosis relies on pathology.
