Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the histogram analysis of mono-exponential and intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) models to the dualistic model of epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC). Methods Forty female patients with histopathologically proven epithelial ovarian cancer underwent preoperative MR examination. Scanning sequences included conventional imaging, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with 11 b values (0, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1 000, 1 500 s/mm2) and dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). Based on the dualistic model of EOC, all patients were divided into two groups:typeⅠ(low grade, n=16) and typeⅡ(high grade, n=24). ADC, D, D*and f maps and their corresponding histograms were generated by post-processing software. Based on an entire-tumour measurement, the following histogram parameters were recorded, respectively: (a) Mean; (b) the 10th percentile (10th);(c) the mean of the top 10 percent (MeanL);(d) the 90th percentile (90th);(e) the mean of the bottom 10 percent (MeanR). Two types were compared using independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test. And areas under ROC curve between two groups were assessed. Results For ADC , D, and f, all indices(Mean,10th,MeanL,90th,MeanR) of the histogram were significantly lower in typeⅡthan in type Ⅰ(P<0.05). All of parameters of D* had no significant different(P>0.05). D demonstrated a comparable accuracy with ADC in differentiating the grade of EOC (area under curve: Mean, 0.898 vs. 0.893; 10th, 0.880 vs. 0.846; MeanL, 0.878 vs. 0.858; 90th, 0.895 vs. 0.839; MeanR, 0.872 vs. 0.814), and both ADC and D have better performance than f. Conclusion It is feasible to stratify the grade of EOC by mono-exponential and IVIM models with histogram metrics,diagnositic efficiency of ADC and D values are higher.

ObjectiveBased on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)/tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)/receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPKs) signaling pathway, this paper aims to study the effect of modified Erchentang on inflammation in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and explore its mechanism of action. MethodA total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, high, medium, and low-dose groups (20, 10, 5 g·kg-1·d-1) of modified Erchentang, and Xiaokechuan group (3.5 mL·kg-1·d-1), with 10 rats in each group. The COPD rat model was established by cigarette smoke combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The normal group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline for 21 days by gavage administration. The contents of TNF-α and TNFR1 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect mRNA expressions of RIPK1, RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) in the lung tissue. The protein expressions of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL in the lung tissue were detected by Western blot. The pathological changes in lung tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. ResultCompared with the normal group, the contents of TNF-α and TNFR1 in BALF of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expression levels of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL in the lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the contents of TNF-α and TNFR1 in BALF of high, medium, and low-dose groups of modified Erchentang and Xiaokechuan group were decreased (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression levels of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL in the lung tissue were decreased to different degrees (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionModified Erchentang can effectively improve the inflammatory response of lung tissue in COPD rats, and the mechanism may be by inhibiting the activation of the TNF-α/TNFR1/RIPKs signaling pathway.
