Objective To search for the methods of inducing the high stability rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and to noninvasively assess the method of model effect. Methods Six kinds of filaments with different diameters were used to induce rat MCAO models and their success rate, incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and infarct volume were compared. The model scores were performed to assess the model effect after the operation and at 24 hours after reperfusion. Results Higher model success rate and lower incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage were achieved when the 0. 28 mm in diameter and 0.32-0.34 mm in tip diameter filaments were used. 1he sensibility and specificity were higher when the model scores were performed at 24 hours after reperfusion. Conclusions Using the filaments of 0.28 mm in diameter and 0. 32-0. 34 mm in tip diameter for intraluminal thread could improved the stability of the models. The model scores at 24 hours after reperfusion could noninvasively assess the model effect.

Objective To improve the method to establish a rat model of vascular dementia and to better serve the experimental studies on vascular dementia.Methods We used the method of“repeatedly clipping the carotid artery com-bined with injection of sodium nitroprusside and with permanent unilateral carotid artery ligation” to prepare a rat model of vascular dementia.The drug piracetam was used to validate the established rat model in respect of the behavior and histopa-thology.Results Different from the reports of previous research, firstly, the results of this study suggested that injection dose of sodium nitroprusside should be 2.0 mg/kg, room temperature should be controlled at 28℃ during surgical opera-tion, and kept at 25℃postoperatively for 24 hours.Under these experimental conditions, the rats were stable and the death rate was reduced.Secondly,“repeatedly clipping carotid artery combined with permanent unilateral carotid artery ligation”could cut off about a third of cerebral blood supply, and causing chronic cerebral ischemia, which is seemingly more con-sistent with the pathogenesis of vascular dementia.Experimental results showed that compared with the control group, the navigation incubation period was extended and space search ability became worse in the model group, cell number was de-creased, with blurred cell contour and deeply stained cytoplasm, and cell nuclei were not clear in the hippocampal tissue. Conclusions Our findings indicate that the improved methodrepeatedly clipping the carotid artery combined with injec-tion of sodium nitroprusside and with permanent unilateral carotid artery ligationcan be used to efficiently establish a rat model of vascular dementia.The similar results of experiment using piracetam validate that this rat model can be used in vascular dementia-related experimental studies.

Objective To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model of diffusion weighted MRI in assessing grades and enhancement patten of uterine cervical cancer. Methods Thirty one patients with pathologically proven cervical cancer, who underwent MRI scan preoperatively, were analyzed retrospectively and were divided into 3 groups according to their pathological grading of cacer, including 6 with G1 cancer, 17 with G2 and 8 with G3. The diameter of each lesion was≥1 cm. 10 b values (0, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 800, 1 000, 1 500 s/mm2) were used in DWI, and DCE-MRI was performed with a time resolution of 9.8 s. Parameters of DWI (ADC, D, f, D*) and semiquantitative parameters of DCE-MRI (Slop, Maxslop, CER, Washout, AUC90) were measured. One-way ANOVA analysis of variance and Pearson correlation were used to analyze normally distributed continuous data. Kruskal-Wallis H test and Spearman correlation were used to analyze abnormally distributed continuous data. Tumor volume and all of the MRI parameters were compared as well as correlated with pathological grading.The perfusion parameters derived from IVIM were correlated with those derived from dynamic enhanced MR imaging. The sensitivity and specificity of f value to to diagnose G3 cervical cancer and the best cutoff were calculated from areas under the ROC curves.Results Tumor volume of G1,G2 and G3 cancers were(33.8±31.1),(19.6±16.9)and(31.2±29.1)cm3(F=1.147,P=0.332), respectively.ADC values of the three groups were(1.03 ± 0.11)× 10-3,(1.00 ± 0.10)× 10-3 and(0.90 ± 0.05)× 10-3mm2/s,respectively(F=4.619,P=0.018).D values of the three groups were (0.80 ± 0.11) × 10-3, (0.77 ± 0.06) × 10-3and (0.69 ± 0.06) × 10-3mm2/s ,respectively(F=5.272, P=0.011).f values of the three groups were 0.20±0.02, 0.22±0.03 and 0.24± 0.03, respectively (F=3.524, P=0.043).All of the others were of no significant difference (P>0.05).Both ADC and D correlated negatively with tumor grading (r=-0.464 and-0.493, P=0.009 and 0.005, respectively). f value correlated positively with tumor grading (r=0.436, P=0.014).Areas of ADC, D and f value under ROC curves to diagnose G3 cancers were 0.179, 0.147 and 0.690, respectively. While the cut-off value of f was 0.22, the diagnostic performance for G3 cancer was with a sensitivity of 75.0% (6/8) and a specificity of 60.9% (14/23). The value of f had weak positive correlations with Slop, Maxslop, CER and AUC90 of semiquantitative analysis of DCE-MRI (r=0.319, 0.337, 0.293 and 0.344, respectively, P<0.01). Conclusion IVIM model of multi-b value DWI may provide information in the assessment of differentiation and en hancement pattern of cervical cancer.

Objective:To investigate the expression status of Sonic Hedgehog signaling genes and molecules in human hepatocellular carcinomas(HCC),and to explore the relationship between these genes and clinical prognosis.Methods:HCC tissue and adjacent normal tissue from 29 HCC patients were assayed for the expression of hedgehog signaling genes by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction chain reaction(RT-PCR) techniques and for the expression of hedgehog signaling molecules by immunohistochemistry.The expressions of Shh,Ptch,Smoh,Gli-1 mRNA were assayed as well as Shh,Ptch proteins in 29 cases of HCC and in 29 liver tissues adjacent to the tumor.Results:Expression of Shh mRNA was detectable in about 51% of HCCs examined.Consistent with this,hedgehog target genes Ptch,Smoh and Gli-1 mRNA were expressed in over 68%,48% and 62% of the tumors,respectively,and the expressions of Shh and Ptch proteins in HCC tumor tissues correlated with those of Shh and Ptch mRNA in tumor tissues(P=0.041 and P=0.035).This suggested that the hedgehog pathway was frequently activated in HCCs.The simultaneous expression of Gli-1 in HCC and liver tissues adjacent to the tumor had significantly relationship with poor prognosis.Conclusion:Hedgehog signaling activation is an important event for development of human HCCs.It also suggests that markers for hedgehog signaling activation may be useful for the determination of prognosis.

Objective To analyze the MRI features of hydrosalpinx and to investigate its clinical value.Methods MRI and ultrasound manifestations in 40 patients with hydrosalpinx in 53 fallopian tubes confirmed by operative and pathological findings were analyzed retrospectively,and these findings were also compared with the results of aparoscopy and pathology.Results Among 53 fallopian tubes with hydrosalpinx,bilateral tubes in 13 patients and 27 unilateral tubes in other patients were found.The tubes were botuliform in 32, retort-shaped in 1 6,pouch-shaped in 5.Incomplete separation of the lumen were found in 1 9.In 9 patients with acute salpingitis,1 5 tubes were found with empyema and expansion.In other 31 patients with chronic salpingitis,38 tubes were with hydrops and expansion,14 of whom were with hematocele.The sensibilities of MRI and ultrasound diagnosis for hydrosalpinx were 94.3%(50/53)and 88.7%(47/53)with no statistical differences(P >0.05),however the specificitis were 90.6%(48/53)and 77.6%(41/53)with obvious statistical differences(P <0.05).Conclusion The locating and qualitative diagnosis of MRI for hydrosalpinx is superior to ultrasound.MRI can discriminate the quality of cyst fluid and thus can definitely diagnose the hydrosalpinx caused by acute or chronic salpingitis.
