Objective To discuss the value of 256 spiral CT dynamic volume scanning in the diagnosis of moyamoya disease.Methods Twenty-three patients with moyamoya disease undergoing 256 spiral CT dynamic volume scanning (moyamoya group) were selected,and 18 patients having cerebrovascular disease symptoms,but the brain artery without stenosis (control group) were also selected.The volume reconstruction (VR),maximum intensity projection (MIP) and cerebral CT perfusion imaging was displayed.The cerebral CT perfusion imaging parameters of anterior,middle,posterior cerebral artery were measured and analyzed.Results VR,MIP could well reproduce lesion location,degree of stenosis and skull base abnormal vascular network change.Compared with control group,the cerebral blood volume (CBV) was increased [(8.46 ±0.91) ml/100 g vs.(2.92 ±0.72) ml/100 g],time to peak (TTP) was increased [(30.27 ±5.02) s vs.(24.83 ±4.07) s] in anterior cerebral artery,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference in the cerebral blood flow (CBF),the mean transit time (MTT)(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,CBV was increased [(8.06 ± 1.05) ml/100 g vs.(6.08 ± 0.56) ml/100 g],MTT,TTP was increased [(6.34 ± 1.01) s vs.(3.83 ± 0.83) s,(32.06 ± 2.55) s vs.(25.83 ± 2.34) s] in middle cerebral artery,and there was significant difference (P＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference in CBF (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,there was no significant difference in the cerebral CT perfusion imaging parameters of posterior cerebral artery (P ＞0.05).Conclusion 256 spiral CT dynamic volume scanning can be combined with morphology and function imagings,and has important guiding significance for diagnosis of moyamoya disease.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide(PACAP)on focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.Methods The models of focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats were established with suture-occluded method to simulate the middle cerebral artery ischemia reperfusion injury in clinic.The treatment groups were given three different dose PACAP(PACAP 10-11 mol,PACAP 10-10 mol and PACAP 10-9 mol) in 15 minutes before cerebral ischemia.PACAPs were infused into lateral cerebral ventricle by microinjector.The water content of brain,the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD),the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and the content of nitrogen monoxidum(NO) of the brain tissue were determined.Results Compared with NS group,the water content of brain and the concentration of MDA and NO were obviously lower in each PACAP treatment group,while the activity of SOD was elevated to different degrees.Conclusion PACAP has an obvious protective effect on ischemia-reperfusion injury of focal brain tissue in rats,in which edema-alleviating,free radicals-scavenging and lipid peroxidation-attenuating could be involved.The protective effect seems to be more clear in middle-and high-dose group than in low-dose group.

AIM: To investigate the action of testosterone on atherosclerosis in a rabbit model. METHODS: 37 male cholesterol-fed rabbits were divided into five groups: castration group: castrated rabbits without exogenous testosterone administration; testosterone Ⅰ group: castrated rabbits with exogenous testosterone 0.25 mg?kg -1?d -1; testosterone Ⅱ group: castrated rabbits with exogenous testosterone 2.5 mg?kg -1?d -1; testosterone Ⅲ group: castrated rabbits with exogenous testosterone 12.5 mg?kg -1?d -1. The sham operation group was also set. Three months later, the levels of testosterone, blood lipids (including TG, HDL-C, LDL-C), PAI activity, nitric oxide (NO) content, endothelin (ET), angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in blood were detected. RESULTS: It showed that testosterone in castration group was the lowest. There was no significant difference of TG or LDL-C between castration group and the other four groups. HDL-C in castration group was lower than that in other four groups. NO content of castration group was lower than that in others, but PAI activity, ET and AngⅡ concentration were higher than that in other groups. CONCLUSION: Testosterone is a protective factor against atherosclerosis in male rabbits.
