Benign and malignant compression fracture of vertebrae are common diseases in clinic. Because their therapies are different,it is important to identify them. At present, MRI is the main means in discriminating benign and malignant compression fracture of vertebrae. Sometimes the change of MRI signal in them is overlap, therefore, it is difficult to diagnose accurately. In the recent years, with the appearance of MRI new technology, people have already applied it to work out the difficulty.

Objective To investigate the retinal toxicity and verify the safe dose of intravitreal injection of nonsteroid anti inflamatory drug, diclofenac sodium. Methods Twenty eight healthy adult white rabbits were divided at random into 7 groups and received in every right eye the intravitreal injection of a single dose of diclofenac sodium solution ranging from 0.4~1.0 mg/0.1ml respectively,the left eyes were regarded as control ones. Before injection and on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th day after injection the electroretinography on both eyes was examined. On the 28th day after injection the retinas of two rabbits of every group were examined by using light microscopy. On the 10th and 30th day after injection the retinal tissues around the optic nerve disk of two eyes from every group at random were tested by using transmission electron microscopy. Results The ratio of amplitude of b wave of electroretinography in 0.4 mg and 0 5 mg groups had no significant difference from groups before injection,the retinal tissues showed no structural changes in light and electron microscopy examination. The ratio of amplitude of b wave of photoptic electroretinography in 0.6 mg groups in the early stage after injection was markedly reduced ( P

Objective To evaluate the value of high resolution MR imaging (MRI) with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative diagnosis of rectal cancer. Methods 55 patients with rectal cancer may underwent high resolution MRI examinations before surgical operation, and with DWI (b=600, 1000 s/mm2). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the tumors were measured. The image findings were compared with pathology. Select 15 patients without rectal lesion, ADC value of the tumors and normal rectal wall were measured. Results High resolution MRI diagnosis rectal cancer sensitivity, specific degree and coincidence rate were 95.7% (45/47), 50.0% (4/8), 89.1% (49/55), high resolution MRI with DWI diagnosis colorectal cancer sensitivity, specific degree and coincidence rate were 100.0 % (47/47), 75.0 % (6/8), 96.4 % (53/55). The high resolution MRI tumor T-staging agreed with the histological stage that was 88.9% (40/45), the diagnosis of T2 stage was 87.5 % (14/16), the diagnosis of T3 stage was 89.6 % (26/29). The same b-valued under the ADC values of rectal cancer tumors and the normal rectal were different (P <0.05). No correlation can be pointed out between ADC and pathological classification of each tumor.Conclusion High resolution MRI with DWI for the rectal cancer preoperative diagnosis and T-staging has higher diagnostic accuracy, DWI can serve as an important supplement sequence of colorectal cancer diagnosis.

Objective To study the expression of sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG),insulin signaling pathway and glucose transporter in placenta of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),and to explore its role in the pathogenesis of GDM. Methods A total of 10 full-term and non-obese(BMI<25 kg/m2)pregnancy women diagnosed with GDM and 10 normal pregnant cases were recruited for the study. Placental tissues were collected respectively. The expression of protein and mRNA of SHBG and insulin signal transduction(IRS-1,ISR-2,PI3K p85α)and glucose transporter proteins(GLUT-1,GLUT-3,GLUT-4)in placental tissue were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Pearson and linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the correlation among the related indicators. Results In the placental tissue of non-obese women,there existed a decrease(P<0.05)in the expression of protein and mRNA of SHBG with a concurrent a decrease(P<0.05)in the expression of protein and mRNA of GLUT-4 in GDM women compared with normal controls. Furthermore ,a decrease(P<0.05)of GLUT-3 and IRS-1 protein expression with lower(P<0.05)IRS-2 mRNA expression was also observed in placental tissue from GDM patients. No changes were found in PI3K p85α and GLUT-1 at both protein and mRNA levels(P>0.05). Results of linear correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between SHBG mRNA and IRS-2 mRNA(P<0.05),SHBG mRNA and PI3K p85α mRNA(P<0.05),and SHBG mRNA and GLUT-4 mRNA(P<0.05). There was also a remarkable positive correlation between IRS-2 mRNA and GLUT-4 mRNA(P<0.01). There existed negative correlations between IRS-1 mRNA and PI3K p85α mRNA(P<0.05),and IRS-1 mRNA and GLUT-3 mRNA(P<0.05). There existed a remarkable positive correlation between IRS-2 mRNA and GLUT-1 mRNA(P<0.01). Conclusion The defective receptors of insulin signaling pathway are present in GDM placental tissue. Decreased expression of SHBG may be involved in the regulation insulin signaling ,leading to a concomitant decrease expression of relevant insulin signaling components in placental tissue ,implying insulin resistance and developing GDM finally.
