Post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop following a traumatic event.Neuro-imaging techniques offer a noninvasive means to elucidate the brain circuit underlying PTSD, and may help to find effective biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment evaluation of this disorder.In this article, we review recent brain structural MRI studies in PTSD.Problems of the current research and possible directions for future research are also presented.

Aim To examine the in vivo effect of the antisense or/and decoy oligonucleotide of NF-?B on vessel proliferation and balloon-injured monocytes chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1) and extracellular signal regulated kinase in the carotid artery of rats.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats underwent balloon-dilation injury of the left carotid artery.The rats were divided into 7 groups(n=18) and each group were further divided into 6 sub-groups for study at 6 time points(1,3,5,7,14 days,n=3).Uninjured artery of the same rat was used as the control.Results In model group,sense group and scramble group,intima/media ratio increased after 5 days and reached the maximum after 14 days;intima/media ratio in antisense group,decoy group,antisense plus decoy group decreased significantly(P

Objective To study imageology anatomy concerned of sellar turica and explore its potential role on growth of pituitary adenomas. Methods According to classification of sinus sphenoidalis,103 normal imageology data of sellar turica region were analyzed, including 83 cases with entire saddle type sinus sphenoidalis and 20 cases anti-saddle type sinus sphenoidalis. Furthermore, the clinical data of 45 cases of pituitary adenomas with extension into sinus sphenoidalis were retrospectively studied. Results The relationship between sellar floor's shapes and sinus sphenoidals'types was that the larger the sinus sphenoidalis was, the deeper the floor was(98.8%). The relationship between sellar floor's shapes and the superior surface of hypophysis was that most of depressed sellar floors were companied with depressed superior surfaces of hypophysises(93.8%). The anteroposterior shapes of sellar turica in midsagittal can be divided into 4 types such as bag-type, kettle-type, tube-type, and sifter-type. 45 patients suffering from pituitary adenoms with extension into sinus sphenoidalis all had entire saddle type sinus sphenoidalis. Conclusions The imageology anatomy concerned of sellar turica could explain the phenomena of pituitary adenomas with extension toward sellar floor and sinus sphenoidalis. Referring to the literatures concerned, it indicated that the imageology anatomy was the key factor of affecting the growth of pituitary adenomas.

The interactions between genetic variations and dietary factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus have attracted some attention. Several studies revealed that dietary carbohydrate quality and quantity and increased dietary fat intake might interact with genetic variations of type 2 diabetes mellitus and increase risk of this disease. Genome-wide association studies suggest that genetic variance may modulate the association between dietary pattern and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Effective chemotherapy is the mainstay of malaria control. However it is undergoing the serious threat by resis?tance of falciparum malaria to antimalarial drugs. In recent years with the development of molecular biology technology molec?ular markers have been widely used to monitor antimalarial drug resistance. This paper reviews the researches on the common molecular markers related to Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance.

The technology of Tim can support multiple seperated matrix coil units while the units can be freely assorted and seamlessly joined to form the a total imaging matrix possessing huge field of view.This paper analyzes the role of Tim which can help to improve extreme flexibility of examination,to possess more signal-to-noise(SNR),to achieve superior " local" resolution,and to possess faster scan time.It is concluded that Tim technology have the strong advantages at improving and optimizing MRI workflow.

In the research field of quality control in Chinese medicinal materials, variation in active ingredients of medicinal plant is always the key and hot issues. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies and reducing cost, a large numbers of genes from medicinal plant were cloning and provide a solid foundation for further research of gene structure and its biological function, and also provides conditions for explore active ingredient variation and its quality control from the perspective of molecular pharmacognosy. This paper introduces the concept of homologous gene, gene duplication and classification. We prospect the function of duplicated genes in the role of molecular mechanism research about variation in active ingredients, aiming at providing a new way for medicinal materials quality control.

Dao-di Herbs is specificity and locality, and its unique phenotypic features is closely related to the growth and development of medicinal plants. In addition to traditional genetic, epigenetic play an important role in formation of Dao-di herbs. This paper introduces the concept of epigenetic and the role of DNA methylation in the gene expression regulation. We further prospects epigenetic mechanism in study of Dao-di herbs formation from specific phenotype and regional analysis. And study on the relationship of epigenetic and Dao-di herbs will provide a basis for quality assessment and identification of Chinese drugs.
