Objective To observe imaging characteristics and changes of vivo two-dimension multi-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (~1H-MRS) in the rabbit models of VX2 hepatic carcinoma after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. Methods VX2 hepatic carcinoma models were established in 20 New Zealand rabbits. Routine MR and 2-dimentional ~1H-MRS scanning were performed before and after HIFU treatment. The central regions of interest (ROI) of the VX2 tumor, tumor border and paratumor normal liver tissues were selected. The Cho/Cr and Lip/Cr of the same ROI before and after HIFU treatment were compared. Results Total 28 satisfied spectrogram diagram of ~1H-MRS were brought into statistical analysis. Of all the spectra, 6 metabolite peaks were detected as lipids (Lip), glutamine and glutamate complex (Glx), choline (Cho), lactate (Lac) and creatine (Cr). Cho and Lac peak in tumor center and tumor border regions after HIFU treatment were higher than those before HIFU treatment. Lip peak was lower than before, and major metabolites of paratumor normal liver tissues did not changed significantly. Statistical differences of Cho/Cr and Lipid/Cr of tumor center and border region were found between before and after HIFU treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Two-dimension multi-voxel ~1H-MRS can reflect major changes in the level of metabolites of different ROI for hepatic VX2 carcinoma after HIFU treatment.

Objective To investigate the imaging characteristic of DWI in rabbit models of hepatic VX2 tumors after three-dimensional stereotactic conformal radiation therapy, and the characteristics of apoptosis after radiotherapy. Methods Sixty hepatic VX2 tumor models were successfully created. After the tumor grew to more than 1 cm in diameter, 40 tumor models were treated with SCRT and then divided into four groups using random number table. The remaining 20 tumor models were used as controls and randomly assigned to each group. MR scanning were performed at different time points ( 1 st day, 5 th day, 10 th day, 15 th day) for each group respectively. ROIs of the VX2 tumor tissues and normal liver tissue were taken and ADC values were measured to calculate their ratios. Cell apoptesis were determined by using TUNEL method. ADC values with their ratios and the apoptotic index were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and SNK test was used for comparison among different time points of groups, while two sample t test was used for comparison between the groups. Results On the 1 st day, 5 th day, 10 th day, and the 15 th day, the ADC ratios of the radiotherapy groups were 0.74 ±0. 15(n =8), 1.04 ±0.09(n =7), 1.43 ±0. 12 (n = 7 ), 1.25 ± 0. 23 (n = 8 ) (F = 24. 221, P < 0. 01 ), the corresponding ADC ratios of control groups were 0. 78 ±0.07(n =5), 0.79 ±0.07(n=4), 0.83 ±0. 14(n =4), 0.97 ±0. 19(n =4). The ratios of ADC values for radiotherapy groups and control group were compared, and the t value was 0. 569 ( P >0.05), 4.417(P<0.05), 7.259(P <0.01), 1.957(P>0.05) respectively for each time point. On the 1 st day, 5 th day, 10 th day, 15 th day, the apoptotic index of the radiotherapy groups were 0. 39 ±0. 13(n=8), 0.29 ±0.08(n=7), 0.28 ±0.07(n=7), 0.58 ±0. 19(n=8,F=8. 128,P<0.05), while the corresponding apoptotic index of control groups were 0. 26 ±0. 13(n =5), 0. 18 ±0. 03(n =4), 0. 16 ±0. 06(n =4), 0. 18 ±0. 08(n =4,F= 1. 006,P >0. 05). The apoptotic index value for radiotherapy groups and control group were compared, with t value of 1. 716 ( P > 0.05 ), 2. 348 ( P < 0. 05 ), 2. 386 ( P <0. 05 ), 3. 756( P <0.01 ) respectively.

Purpose To explore the immunohistochemical features of neuroendocrine markers, CKpan and TTF-1 and their relationship to TNM stage and prognosis in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods The expression of NSE, CgA, Syn, CD56, TTF-1 and CK-pan in SCLC tissue specimens were detected using immunohistochemical EnVision indirect method. Clinical data and TNM stage of 90 patients were collected and the overall survival ( OS) was followed up by telephone. Results Of 90 cases of SCLC, the vast majority were occured in the elderly men. The ratio of man to woman was 5 to 1. The median age was 64 years old. The stageⅠ+Ⅱ was 21 cases, 30 in stageⅢand 39 cases in stage IV. The positive rate of immunohistochemical staining of neuroendocrine markers for NSE, CgA, Syn and CD56 were 83. 3%, 70%, 65. 5% and 86%, respectively. The positive rate of CKpan, TTF-1 were 92. 2% and 81. 1%. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the expression of TTF-1 and NSE were significantly correlated with the TNM stage and over-all survival of patients with SCLC (P<0. 05). The median OS was 8 months in positive expression of TTF-1, which was higher than those in negative expression of TTF1 (5. 5 months)(P=0. 000). The median OS was 7 months in NSE positive expression which was lower than those in negative expression of NSE (11 months)(P=0. 009). The median OS of stageⅠ+Ⅱ,ⅢandⅣwere 16 months, 9 months and 4 months with significant difference ( P=0. 000 ) . Cox multivariate analysis indicated the TTF-1 expression and TNM were independent prognostic factors for the OS of the SCLC patients. Conclusion Most of SCLC has neuroendocrine differentiation, expression CKpan and TTF-1. The expression of TTF-1 may be negative correlation but NSE positive correlation with the prognosis of SCLC patients. And the TTF-1 expression and TNM may be independent prognostic factors for the OS of the SCLC patients.

Objective To discuss the imaging technology and characteristic of perfusion-weighted imaging in rabbit models of hepatic VX2 tumors. Methods Twenty-eight New Zealand rabbits were implanted in liver with VX2 tumor by tissue block. After routine scans were performed on 1.5 T MR scanner, 28 New Zealand white rabbits with VX2 carcinoma were divided randomly into treatment group and control group. Treatment group was divided randomly into group A, group B and group C, 7 animals per group. Perfusion weighted imaging(PWI) was performed in day 14, 25 and 35, respectively, after tumor implantation in all animals. Select the regions of interest (ROI) of the VX2 tumor center, tumor border and pars-tumor parenchyma. Maximal signal reduction slope ( SRSmax ) of the signal intensity versus time curves were created as quantitative variable, and the parameters were calculated and compared in all groups. Results Maximal signal reduction slope ( SRSmax ) of the signal intensity versus time curves were studied in 4 groups, 23 VX2 rabbits,7,5 and 6 in group A , B and C, respectively. The SRSmax of tumor center were ( 12. 6 ± 3.4), ( 9. 8 ± 2. 6 ) and ( 1.0 ± 0. 4 ), the difference was significant ( F = 10. 855, P < 0. 05 ). The SRSmax of tumor border were(48. 3 ± 2.4), (46. 2 ± 1.5 ) and (43. 6 ± 1.8 ) ( P > 0. 05 ). The SRSmax of para-tumor parenchyma were ( 14.4 ± 3.0 ), ( 12. 2 ± 1. 4 ) and ( 14. 8 ± 5.0 ) ( P > 0. 05 ). The difference was significant in different ROI in treatment groups( F value was 7. 435,8. 625 and 12. 595, respectively, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion PWI can be used in evaluating the liver tumor angiogenesis and angio-degeneration with the treatment of HIFU. It will be possible for qualitative analysis of rabbit models of hepatic VX2 tumors by different treatments.
