The projection area of the volar surface of the human hand was estimated on 52 young Chinese adults(26 males and 26 females.)ranging in age from 18 to 31. The average projection area of the volar surface of the hand was 145.20 square centimetres.It occupied 0.93% of the calculated body surface.The area of the palm was 86.69 square centimetres, amounting to 59.70% of the volar surface of the whole hand. All dimensions of different parts of the hand of males were larger than those of females. There was no difference between the right and left hands of both sexes. The coefficient of correlation among the body length, body weight, length and width of the hand, surface area of the whole body with the projection area of the volar surface of the hand was calculated. All showed close correlation. The regression of the estimation of the projection area of the volar surface of the hand with hand length and hand width was established. It is therefore to be assumed that the area of the volar surface of the hand calculated as one per cent of the body area, as it is often used in surgical examina- tions, seems to be a little higher than its real area(0.93%.

Objective To investigate the effects of labeling Schwann cells with different concentrations of SPIO, and to investigate the feasibility of in vitro MR imaging. Methods The C57BL/6 mices'Schwann cells were isolated, purified, and then 0.5 × 106, 1.0 × 106, 5.0 × 106 cells were labeled with 25.0 μg/ml, 50.0 μg/ml SPIO. Prussian blue stain and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were performed for showing intracellular iron. The signal intensity of cells were evaluated by 3.0 MRI with different sequences in vitro. Results Different cell population (0.5 × 106, 1.0 × 106,5.0 × 106) were cultured with different concentration SPIO about 24 hours. Dyeing degree of labeling cells stained by Prussion blue gradually deepened from 25.0 μg/ml to 50.0 μg/ml. Transmission electron microscope indicated that iron particles accumulated inendosomes/lysosomes. The MR signal intensity of labeling cells were inversely correlated with the concentration of SPIO groups in T2WI and GRE/30° imaging in vitro. Conclusion Schwann cells could be labeled effectively with SPIO, and MRI could be used to monitor these labeled cells in vitro.
