Objective To observe the effects of electroacupuncture at Ganshu (BL18) and Zusanli (ST36) on depression state and gastrointestinal motility and relevant protein expressions in brain of rats with stress-induced depressive functional dyspepsia. Methods Totally 48 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal, model, electroacupuncture (EA) and sham-operation group, with 12 rats in each group. Depressive functional dyspepsia model was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress protocols. From day 15 to day 28, the EA group was given electroacupuncture at BL18 and ST36, and the sham-operation group was stimulated by electroacupuncture at 1/3 and 2/3 of the tail. Body weight test, open field test and sucrose preference test were measured on day 0, day 14 and day 28. After 14-day administration, gastric residual volume and intestinal propulsion rate of semisolid paste were detected. The expression of βCaMK inⅡ lateral habenulas and BDNF in hippocampus were measured by Western blot. Results Compared with the normal group, the weight, the sucrose preference rate, the behavior score, the small intestinal propulsion rate of semisolid paste and the expression of BDNF in hippocampus decreased significantly both in the model group and sham-operation group (P<0.01), and the gastric residual volume of semisolid paste and the expression of βCaMK inⅡ lateral habenulas increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the weight, the sucrose preference rate, the behavior score, the small intestinal propulsion rate of semisolid paste and the expression of BDNF in hippocampus increased significantly in EA group (P<0.01), and the gastric residual volume of semisolid paste and the expression of βCaMK inⅡ lateral habenulas decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the sham-operation group, the expression of βCaMKⅡ in lateral habenulas decreased significantly, the expression of BDNF in hippocampus increased significantly in EA group (P<0.01). Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Ganshu (BL18) and Zusanli (ST36) can improve depression and gastrointestinal motility of rats with depressive functional dyspepsia, which may be related to the inhibition of βCaMK inⅡ lateral habenulas and the activation of BDNF in hippocampus dyspepsia.

Objective The aim was to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in lesions with architectural distortion manifested in mammography. Methods A retrospective analysis of MRI was performed in 60 patients with 61 lesions manifested as architectural distortion in full?field digital mammography (FFDM) and subsequently confirmed by pathology or two year's follow?up, 30 were malignant and 31 were benign. All the patients underwent MRI within 2 weeks of mammography. MRI protocol included conventional MR, DWI and dynamic contrast?enhanced MRI. The breast imaging reporting and data system (BI?RADS) was used as the reference standard. BI?RADS categories 1 to 3 were considered as negative for malignancy and BI?RADS categories 4 to 5 were considered as positive for malignancy. ADCs of suspicious lesion of interest and glandular tissue were calculated. nADC was then calculated using the following formula:nADC=ADC(lesion)/ADC(glandular tissue). ADC and nADC were compared by using t test. ROC analysis was carried out to define the most effective threshold ADC and nADC value to differentiate malignant from benign lesion in the breast. Diagnostic performance of the FFDM, DCE?MRI and DCE?MRI combined nADC were calculated. Results ADC value of malignant and benign lesions was (1.35±0.31)×10?3 mm2/s and (1.07±0.40)×10?3 mm2/s, respectively . nADC values were 0.83±0.17 and 0.59± 0.25, respectively (t values were 2.82 and 4.54, P<0.01). Area under the curve of ADC and nADC were 0.829 and 0.753 respectively. When threshold of ADC was set at 1.19×10?3mm2/s, sensitivity and specificity were 71.0%and 86.7%, respectively. For a nADC value threshold of 0.589, sensitivity and specificity were 93.5%and 76.7%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with FFDM were 80.0%(24/30), 9.7%(3/31) and 44.3%(27/61), Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with DCE?MRI were 90.0%(27/30), 41.9%(13/31) and 65.6%(40/61), Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with DCE?MRI combined nADC were 93.3%(28/30), 77.4%(24/31) and 85.2%(52/61), respectively. Conclusion Sensitivity and specificity with DCE?MRI combined nADC is higher, and DCE?MRI combined nADC values is helpful to differentiate malignant from benign lesions with architectural distortion manifested in FFDM.

We report a case of reversible hepatofugal portal flow after auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) from a living donor in this study. On postoperative day 6, continuous hepatofugal portal flow was observed in the grafted liver without portal thrombosis and obstruction of the hepatic vein. Based on histological findings, acute rejection was the suspected cause. The normal portal venous flow was restored after steroid pulse and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) therapies. The patient was discharged on the 30th postoperative day. It was concluded that hepatofugal flow after liver transplantation is a sign of serious acute rejection, and can be successfully treated by anti-rejection therapy.

Objective To estimate the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in early diagnosis of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) and monitoring of graft fibrosis in rat models . Methods Thirty CAN rat models were established as experimental group by transplanting Fisher donor kidneys into Lewis recipients. Thirty Lewis rats that received Lewis kidneys served as control group. Serum creatinine (SCr) was monitored regularly every two weeks from 14 days after transplantation. Eight rats were randomly selected by random number table method and underwent DTI examination at 4, 12, 20 weeks after modeling. DTI scans were performed on the renal cortex and medulla to measure apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA). From the remaining 22 rats in each group, 6 rats were randomly selected and underwent pathological analysis at 4, 12, 20 weeks after modeling. Histological changes in the kidney were evaluated by chronic allograft damage index (CADI) scores. The expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Vimentin were quantitatively measured. The differences in creatinine, DTI parameters, CADI score, α-SMA, Vimentin expression level were analyzed by two independent samples t test in two groups, the differences among CADI score, α-SMA, Vimentin expression level of the experimental group were compared using ANOVA. The correlations among DTI parameters and CADI score, α-SMA and Vimentin expression level were analyzed using Pearson analysis. Results The creatinine in the experimental group increased continuously, and the creatinine in the control group showed no significant increase. The difference in creatinine between the two groups was statistically significant from 8th week after operation (P<0.01). There was no obvious difference in the size and signal intensity of transplanted kidneys in control group at different time points. Compared with the control group, the graft kidney in the experimental group at the 4 weeks demonstrated increased signal intensity with mild increased volume of kidney, and the boundaries between cortex and medulla were not clear. The cortex and medulla showed gradually increased signal intensity, heterogeneous signal distribution and marginal haziness over time. The ADC and FA value of renal cortex and medulla in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group at 4, 12, 20 weeks (P<0.05). The ADC and FA values of the cortex and medulla gradually decreased in the experimental group over time, while the values of the parameters in the control group did not show a significant decrease. The ADC and FA values of the cortex and medulla were negatively correlated with the scores of CADI, and the expression level of α-SMA, Vimentin in the experimental group(r=-0.50 to -0.85, P<0.01).Conclusion DTI can be an effective technique for early diagnosis of CAN and monitoring of graft fibrosis process.
