Recently,the new term lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation was introduced to describe a specific epiretinal proliferation.Different from conventional epimacular retinal membrane,lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) can be found around the edge of lamellar macular holes and part of full thickness macular holes.It is defined as a thick homogenous layer of yellowish material without any contractive properties on the epiretinal surface with medium reflectivity on optical coherence tomography images.Immunocytochemical analysis showed the presence of glial cells,fibroblasts,hyalocytes and collagen type Ⅱ.Electron microscopy revealed fibroblasts and hyalocytes as predominant cell types,densely packed in cell agglomerations.LHEP is a secondary event in lamellar macular hole formation and may represent a repair process after large and deep retinal defect.Further studies on its clinical features and clinical significance are still required.

Objective To preliminarily evaluate the diagnostic value of co registration and fusion of positron emission tomography and MR images in Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods Twelve patients with AD (53-83 years) and six normal volunteer (45-71 years) were scanned by positron emission tomography (PET) and MR imaging. The interval between two examination was 1-32 days (average:18 2?11 6 days). The disc and magnetic tape were used to transfer the imaging data to image work station (SGI O 2), then the special software for co registration and fusion: Statistical Parametric Map was used to do automatic co registration between PET and MR images of brain in 3D. Results The findings of PET was completely accorded with the changes of AD in 9 patients (9/12), and accorded with AD, but should be differentiate from other diseases in 3 cases (3/12). According to the measurement of special cerebral structures, MR images could make the diagnosis of AD in 11 patients (11/12), and had no abnormal finding in 1 case. The medial temporal atrophy could be seen on the MR images co registrated with PET in AD patients, on the other hand, PET demonstrated the pink color region of metabolic rate of glucose decreased in temporoparietal lobes of cerebral hemisphere. The similar findings depicted on fusion images as red color region of metabolic rate of glucose decreased in temporoparietal lobes. Conclusion The co registrated images can accurately observe the abnormal findings of PET and MR images, and fix the location of foci depicted by PET, in addition, fusion images increase the contrast of the foci. Analyzing the images of co registration and fusion of PET and MRI can lead to the diagnosis of AD in all the patients.

Objective To investigate the values of computed tomography(CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopanc reatography(ERCP) in acute biliary tract obstruction associated with Clonorchiasis. Methods The image features of 47 patients with acute biliary tract obstruction associated with Clonorchiasis proved by operation (27 cases) and ERCP (20 cases) were reviewed retrospectively. Results Fourty-three cases showed equal intrahepatic bile duct diffuse dilatation from porta hepatis to capusle with different levels in CT, and 39 cases showed extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. There was no significant relationship for the extent of intra and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. It showed the end of intrahepatic bile duct shaped like a bag in 41 cases, a enlarged gallbladder in 38 cases, and 9 cases with a soft intralumenal masses. There were 13 patients with pancreas swelling and 8 with pancreatic duct dilatation. Of the 20 patients underwent ERCP, eighteen cases showed intrahepatic bile duct diffuse dilatation with the end shaped like a bag, and 16 showed extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Irregular filling-defect was seen in the common bile duct in 9 cases. The obstruction were relieved after Oddi's muscle endoscopic sphincrectomy(EST). Conclusion The patients with acute obstructive jaundice can be diagnosed as Clonorchiasis, if CT or ERCP showed equal intrahepatic bile duct diffuse dilatation with the end shaped like a bag and with extrahepatic bile duct dilatation, which can be confirmed by the worms and eggs found in the drawing-out bile, and the obstruction can be relived by EST.
