Objective　To evaluate the value of gradient-echo chemical shift imaging in detection of lipid-containing abdominal lesions. Methods　35 patients with abdominal lesions were divided into 2 groups according to whether or not they contained lipid. Breath-hold in-phase(IP) and opposed-phase(OP) acquisitions were performed. The demonstration of these lesions on IP and OP was compared. The signal intensity of these lesions on both images was measured. The percentage of signal intensity variation on IP and OP was calculated and statistically analyzed with non-parametric method between the 2 groups. Results　For lesions containing lipid, the signal intensity dropped significantly from IP to OP, with median value of signal intensity variation attaining 37.1%. On the other hand, for lesions not containing lipid, the signal intensity did not change obviously between IP and OP, whose median value of signal intensity variation was 3.3%. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (u=4.56，P<0.01). Conclusion　Gradient-echo chemical shift imaging is an easy and practical way, helpful to detection of lipid component within abdominal lesions.

DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 43 (DDX43) plays an important role in the malignant proliferation,drug resistance of tumor cells as well as neoplasm immunotherapy.The overexpression of DDX43 has been found in various solid tumors and some hematologic malignancies.The hypomethylation of DDX43 gene promoter is identified in chronic myeloid leukemia,acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome,which is correlated with DDX43 overexpression and the prognosis of these diseases.

Objective:To investigate the effects of microgroove surface morphology on the adhesion and proliferation of the human gin-gival fibroblasts(HGFs).Methods:Microgroove surfaces of titanium were fabricated by photolithography with parallel grooves of 15,30 or 60 μm in width and 5 μm or 10 μm in depth.The groups of the samples were denoted as T15 /5,T15 /10,T30 /5,T30 /10,T60 /5 and T60 /10.Smooth titanium surface(T0)was used as the control.The surface topography was observed by enviroment SEM(ES-EM).HGFs were cultured on the topographically modified surfaces.Morphology was observed by SEM.Cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8 kit.Results:HGFs on the microgroove surfaces had “contact guidance”parallel to the microgrooves,whereas the cells on T0 were oriented randomly.Cell proliferation was promoted and kept for longer period on T60 /10 surface.Conclusion:Surfaces of mi-crogrooves with increasing groove width and depth may achieve “contact guidance”for HGFs and promote cell proliferation.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of three dimensional dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography(3D DCE MRA) in the diagnosis of vena caval abnormalities. Methods 3D DCE MRA was performed on fifty two patients with suspected vena caval anomaly, thrombosis, stenosis, occlusion, or compression. Image quality and the presence of venous abnormalities and collaterals were evaluated. Comparison with conventional venacavography( n =15) and surgical findings( n =18) was made. Results 3D DCE MRA images were of diagnostic quality without artifact for all 52 patients. 3D DCE MRA clearly showed vascular anatomy, anomaly and various disorders. The site, extent, cause of venous obstruction, and collateral pathways were well depicted. According to venography or surgery, the sensitivity and specificity of 3D DCE MRA in the diagnosis of abnormalities of vena cava were both 100%. In addition, it had advantages regarding demonstration of extravascular lesions and multiplanar capabilities. Conclusion 3D DCE MRA is simple to perform and accurate in detecting various vena caval abnormalities.

A volunteer was scanned by spiral CT,the Dicom format images were imported into Mimics software to reconstruct 3-D mandibular model,then optimized by Geomagic and meshed in Ansys software. A good geometric precise three-dimensional finite element model was constructed. The displacement of dentition was similar with clin-ical situation by computer.

The effects of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in cultured bovine coronary artery endothelial cells(BCAEC), bovine coronary artery smooth muscle cells(BCASMC) and mouse cardiomyocytes were observed in vitro . The concentrations of VEGF in BCAEC control and HGF group at 12h were 10.51?2.90pg/ml and 9.31?2.78pg/ml, respectively. The concentrations of VEGF at 12h in BCASMC control and HGF group were 3.35 and 3.93 times of that at 3h respectively, the concentration of VEGF at 3h and 12h in BCASMC HGF group was 2.06 and 2.42 times respectively, of that in control group. The concentrations of VEGF at 12h in cardiomyocyte control and HGF group were 5.43 and 4.09 times, respectively, of that at 3h, and the concentrations of VEGF at 3h and 12h in cardiomyocyte HGF group was 2.74 and 2.06 times, respectively, of that in control group. These results indicated that BCAEC, BCASMC and mouse cardiomyocytes could secrete VEGF, and HGF could promote VEGF secretion in BCASMC and cardiomyocytes, but not in BCAEC.

The effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on proliferation of bovine coronary artery endothelial cells (BCAEC) and smooth muscle cells (BCASMC) were studied in vitro. BCAEC and BCASMC were isolated and cultured and divided into control group, VEGF (50ng/ml) group and HGF (50ng/ml) group. Cells proliferation was measured using MTT method. The results showed that the OD values of control, VEGF, and HGF group in BCAEC cultures were 0.23?0.02, 0.58?0.10, and 0.42?0.12, respectively, and those in BCASMC were 0.31?0.08, 0.45?0.09, and 0.40?0.11, respectively. The proliferation ratios of BCAEC and BCASMC induced by HGF were 152.2%?33.8% and 45.2%?25.3%, respectively, and that by VEGF were 82.6%?18.7% and 29.0%?20.4%, respectively. The results suggested that HGF could promote proliferation and migration of BCAEC and BCASMC, while VEGF could promote proliferation of BCAEC but not BCASMC. The effect of HGF on BCAEC was stronger than that on BCASMC, and the induction strength of HGF was higher than VEGF.
