Objective To describe the CT and MR imaging features of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT).Methods The CT(n=12)and MRI(n=2)findings of pathologically proved hepatic IMT in 12 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results All the tumors of the 12 patients were solitary and located in right hepatic lobe.Six tumors were solid and 4 tumors were solid-cystic.The other 2 tumors were periportal soft-tissue infiltration.The tumors appeared as solid or solid-cystic hypodense mass on CT images.The lesions were dark in T1-weighted sequences and slightly bright on T2-weighted sequences.There was homogeneous or inhomogeneous moderate to significant enhancement in solid portion of the tumors.Honeycomb-like enhancement was demontrated both in the peripheral part and at the intratumoral septa of the solid-cystic mass.Conclusion CT and MRI can provide helpful information for the clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatic IMT.

Objective To study changes in neural stem cell proliferation in ischemic brain tissue after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury treated with mild hypothermia. Methods The middle cerebral arteries (MCA) of Sprague-Dawley rats were occluded for 2 hours, then reperfused for 3, 7, 11, 14, 18 and 28 days. Using immunohisto-chemical staining, the bromodeoxyur-idine ( BrdU)-positive cells in the brain tissue of the operationally intervened side were examined in a sham-operation group, a control group, and in rats treated using mild hypothermia. Results There were a few BrdU-positive cells in the sham-operated rats, but there were obviously more in the mild hypothermia group than in the control group. The peak period for proliferation of neural stem cells in the ischemic brain tissue was longer in the mild hypothermia group than that in the control group. Conclusion Mild hypothermia may promote proliferation of neural stem cells in ischemic brain tissue after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Bicyclol with benzyl alcohol structure, is a poorly water-soluble drug, used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. To increase the drug solubility and oral bioavailability, a Bicyclol-phospholipid complex was studied on its preparation, formation mechanism, and the influence on drug physicochemical properties and oral absorption. The complex was prepared by a solvent evaporation method. The optimal formulation was selected by orthogonal experimental design, and a reasonable evaluating method of the complexation rate was established. Various methods, such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR), were used to explore the phase state and formation mechanism of the complex. The solubility of drug in complex was investigated in water/n-octanol. Preliminary study of its absorption and liver tissue distribution in rats was also carried out. The results showed that Bicyclol and phosphatidylcholine can be complexed entirely in the molar ratio 1 : 2. Bicyclol was dispersed in phospholipids as amorphous state. They were combined by intermolecular hydrogen bond due to charge transfer effect which occurred between the two polarities of the double bond between phosphorus and oxygen (P=O) of phosphatidylcholine and benzalcohol group of Bicyclol. The solubility of the complex compared to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was effectively enhanced 5.75 times in water and 7.72 times in n-octanol, separately. In addition, drug concentrations were also enhanced 43 times in plasma and 13 times in liver with one hour after administering the complex to rats via oral gavage. All of these indicated that Bicyclol with benzalcohol group can interact with phospholipids to form complex, improving drug's physicochemical properties, thus further increasing its absorption and target tissue distribution. This study also provided theoretical reference for the research of other benzalcohol derivatives complexed with phospholipids.

Objective This study aims to investigate the association of apoB/apoA-1 ratio with insulin resistance (IR) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) . Methods A total of 224 patients with NAFLD and 166 healthy subjects were enrolled as NAFLD group and control group. Weight, height and blood pressure were recorded. Serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FPG), insulin (Fins), lipids, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) indices were calculated. Results Compared with control group, NAFLD group had higher apoB/apoA-1 ratio (0.76 ± 0.28 vs 0.61 ± 0.26) and HOMA-IR (2.43 ± 1.68 vs 1.86 ± 1.61) . Spearman correlation analysis showed that in NAFLD group, HOMA-IR positively correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), apoB/apoA-1 ratio (r =0.34, P < 0. 05) and HbA1c, and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) . Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that apoB/apoA-1 ratio was still associated with HOMA-IR in NAFLD group after adjustment for age and BMI. Conclusion The apoB/apoA-1 ratio is closely associated with IR in patients with NAFLD. ApoB/apoA-1 ratio may play a role in the development of IR in NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolites of sodium arsenite and sodium dihydrogen arsenate with related metabolic enzymes in kidney of male rats.Methods According to body mass,thirty-five male Wistar rats(body mass 150-190 g) were divided into 7 groups by random number table.Control group drank deionized water; the contents of iAsⅢ in low,medium and high arsenite groups and the contents of iAsv in low,medium and high of sodium dihydrogen arsenate groups were 2.2,6.7 and 20.0 mg/kg,respectively.After 3 months,kidneys were collected and stored at-80 C; high performance liquid chromatography and hydride genesis atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (HPLC-HGAFS) was used to determine the level of arsenic metabolites in kidney,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect and analyze the content or the activity of metabolic enzymes,meanwhile correlation studies between the level of metabolites and the activity of metabolic enzymes were carried out.Results The differences of total arsenic (TAs),dimethyl arsenic acid (DMA),monomethyl arsenic acid (MMA) and methyl transferase enzyme activity in kidneys of rats between groups were statistically significant (F =1874.672,H =33.513,31.002,F =79.607,all P ＜ 0.01).The TAs[(526.52 ± 25.56),(1 654.00 ± 101.55),(1 904.24 ± 104.76)μg,/kg] and DMA[(323.20 + 16.13),(1 444.40 ± 113.81),(1 765.40 ± 104.39)μg/kg] of sodium arsenite in low,medium and high dose groups were higher than those of the corresponding sodium dihydrogen arsenate groups [(235.70 ± 6.23),(471.05 ± 18.32),(1 677.40 ± 83.29)μg/kg,and(0.00 ± 0.00),(1.75 ± 0.16),(410.50 ± 19.76)μg/kg,P ＜ 0.0024 or ＜ 0.05] ; the MMA[(4.02 + 0.86),(4.20 ± 0.65),(4.04 ± 0.80)μg/kg] of sodium arsenite in low,medium and high dose groups were lower than those of the corresponding sodium dihydrogen arsenate groups[(98.90 ± 9.59),(376.50 ± 15.41),(1 131.90 ± 74.26) μg/kg,all P＜ 0.05]; the methyl transferase enzyme activities[(7.80 ± 0.93),(5.55 ± 0.49),(3.56 ± 0.26)U/g] of sodium arsenite in low,medium and high dose groups were lower than those of the corresponding sodium dihydrogen arsenate group[(11.59 ± 0.93),(8.93 ± 0.88),(6.52 ± 1.04)U/g,all P ＜ 0.0024].The DMA of sodium arsenite in low,medium and high dose groups,the MMA of sodium dihydrogen arsenate in medium and high dose groups were positively correlated with those of TAs in each group(r =0.970,0.984,0.997,0.947,0.961,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Effects of sodium arsenite and sodium dihydrogen arsenate on arsenic metobdites and related metabolic enzymes in kidney of rats are different.The function of sodium dihydrogen arsenate in promoting methyl transferase activity is stronger than that of sodium arsenite,which affects the amount and distribution of arsenic methylation metabolites in kidney.
