ObjectiveTo describe the MR features of Rasmussen encephalitis (RE).Methods The MRI of 10 pathologic confirmed patients (7 male,3 female,mean age 11 ± 4 years) with RE were retrospectively analyzed in this study.Routine axial,sagittal and coronal (perpendicular to the oblique long axis of the hippocampus) scans were obtained for T1WI,T2WI and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)images. The location and degree of cerebral atrophy,gray matter signal changes,and the evolution of these findings were evaluated. Results Brain atrophy included the enlargement of lateral ventricle(8/10),temporal horn (9/10)and lateral fissure (9/10); widened sulci and small gyri in the isolateral hemisphere (7/10) ; atrophy in caudate and putamen nucleus (6/10).The cortical atrophy was extensive at late stage of the RE,and usually was hemispheric or involved more than two lobes.The signal changes included hyperintensity involving extensive cortical and/or subcortical regions (9/10). The follow-up MR study demonstrated the progression of brain atrophy and extensive signal changes.Conclusions RE usually presents in pediatric patients. The imaging findings included progressive unilateral brain atrophy,enlargement of lateral ventricle,lateral fissure and sulci,and small gyri with or without cortical T2hyperintensity.Deep nucleus atrophy may be involved in RE.

Objective To explore the correlations of the MRI findings and its pathological typing in the focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) .Methods MR images of 74 patients with FCD confirmed by operation and histopathologic examination were analysed retro‐spectively .MRI findings with FCD were divided into three subtypes including radial band type ,hyperintensity type and mild type . The correlation of the FCD MRI findings and pathological typing is analysed .Results In 74 patients with FCD ,there were radial band type in 12 cases ,hyperintensity type in 32 cases ,and mild type in 30 cases respectively .M RI finding of radial band type FCD showed a tail of increased T2WI/FLAIR signal tapering down to the lateral ventricle .Hyperintensity type FCD showed increased T2 WI/FLAIR signal in the cortex and subcortical white matter ,accompanied with focal cortical thickening .Mild type FCD showed T2 WI/FLAIR subtle hyperintense signal in cortex with or without focal cortical thickening ,but there was no hyperintense signal in subcortical white matter .Most of radial band type FCD were ⅡB in pathology .Most of hyperintensity FCD were ⅡA and ⅡB .Mild type FCD was more found to beⅠA orⅠB .Conclusion Analysing MRI features would improve the accurate diagnosis of FCD and help to infer the pathological type .

Objective To learn the medical experience of inpatients at public hospitals in Henan and the influencing factors.Methods Inpatient experience questionnaire (IPEQ) was customized for a random sampling of 500 inpatients at five tertiary public hospitals in Henan.Results Overall satisfaction of inpatients experience scored 8.48,of which the satisfaction for technical competence was the highest (4.19)and that for emotional support the lowest(3.31).The correlation analysis revealed that the doctors' technical competence score the highest correlation with the experiences (0.652).Conclusion Overall satisfaction of inpatients experience at public hospitals in Henan was found high in general,but humanistic care and service flow at the hospitals require further improvement.

Objective To determine MR manifestations and pathologic types of benign meningiomas and their relationship with tumor recurrence.Methods There were 218 patients (160 females,58 males; age range 4-79 years) with benign meningiomas in the study,including 31 recurrent meningiomas (recurrence group)and 187 primary meningiomas (primary group).All patients were proved by postoperative pathology.Differences of pathological types and MRI manifestations between the recurrence group and the primary group were evaluated by using x2 test and rank sum test.Logistic regression analysis was performed by taking tumor recurrence as the dependent variable,and age,gender,vital structures involvement and pathologic types as independent variables.The recurrent time intervals were compared by rank sum test.Results There were 30 patients with intracranial vital structures involvement or extreintracranial communication tumors in the recurrent group,which was obviously higher than that of the primary group (61 patients).The difference was statistically significant (x2 =57.672,P =0.001).The tumors located in the skull-base and juxtasinus in the recurrent group were obviously more than those in the primary group,and difference was statistically significant (x2 =10.990,P =0.001).Multi-logistic regression analysis showed that the recurrent risk of benign meningiomas was elevated significantly only with vital structure involvement or extre-intracranial communication tumors (wald x2 =31.863,OR =3.820,P =0.001).The recurrent risk of dural sinus involvement was 3.820 times of cerebral artery trunk and cranial nerves involvement,and the risk of the latter was 3.820 times of the non-involved.There was no statistical difference between the two groups in pathology type,location,peritumoral edema,tumor morphology and tumor size.The relapse time of dural sinus involvement and cerebral artery trunk involvement in the recurrent group was 24(13 to 180) and 126(12 to 187) months,respectively.There was significant difference (Z =2.197,P =0.028).Conclusions It is more common that the recurrent benign meningiomas located in the skull base and juxtasinus.The recurrent risk significantly increases when benign meningiomas with vital intracranial structure involved or with extra-intracranial communication tumor.The relapse time of dural sinus involvement is possibly shorter than that of cerebral artery trunk involvement.MRI plays an important role in predicting tumor recurrence and prognosis of benign meningiomas.

Objective To investigate the influence of Zhenqing Recipe(ZQR)and Ligustri Lucidi Fructus(LLF)on diabetic rats and its possible mechanism.Methods The model of type 2 diabetic rats was established by feeding a high-sucrose-high-fat diet and injecting a low dose of Streptozotocin in Wistar rats.The model rats were randomly divided into three groups: diabetic model,ZQR-treated,and LLF-treated groups for 8-weeks treatment.The normal Wistar rats were as a normal control group.Results The level of fasting blood glucose in ZQR and LLF groups was decreased compared with model group(P < 0.01,0.05,respectively).Both ZQR and LLF markedly reduced serum triglycerides(P < 0.01,0.05,respectively),and increased the insulin sensitivity index(P < 0.05).Histopathology revealed that ZQR and LLF reduced pancreatic damage.Immunohistochemistry evaluation showed that the percentage of insulin positive cells in pancreatic island was higher than model group(P < 0.01,0.05,respectively).The mRNA and protein expression of SREBP-1c in pancreas were significantly decreased in ZQR and FLL group(P < 0.01).Conclusion ZQR has therapeutic effect on type 2 diabetes,it ameliorates the histopathologlcal changes of pancreas,protects β cells,improves insulin resistance,and attenuates the expression of SREBP-1c.This study also provides the anti-diabetic evidence of FLL even its effects are weaker than ZQR.

Objective To investigate the MRI classifications and imaging findings of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor(DNET). Methods MR images of 34 patients with pathologic confirmed DNET of Beijing Sanbo Brain Hospital were retrospectively reviewed in this study. The classification was made according to the number of pseudocysts, scope of involvement, morphology and location. Results MRI appearances of DNET were divided into three subtypes: cystic‐like, polycystic‐like and diffuse type. Twelve cases had cystic cortical, including front lobe (5 cases), temporal lobe (5 cases), parietal lobe (2 cases). These cases presented quasi‐circular or oval shape, with hypointense on T1WI and strongly hyperintense on T2WI. T2‐FLAIR was observed hyperintense ring sign in the tumor periphery and the cystic content was close to CSF but having the largest difference to that of CSF, which signal was higher than CSF. Twenty cases were polycystic‐like, front lobe (7 cases), temporal lobe (7 cases), parietal lobe (5 cases), occipital lobe (1 case). In these 20 cases, they had slightly hypointense on T1WI and strongly hyperintense on T2WI. Located in the cortex and subcortical matter, with wedge shape, gyriform or triangle shape.On T2‐FLAIR, internal septation and hyperintense"ring sign"were observed. Two cases were diffuse type, bilateral (1 case), unilateral (1 case). In these 2 cases, diffuse lesions involving multiple areas with hyperintense ring and internal septation on FLAIR, including subcortical white matter, deep nucleus and periventricular area. Conclusions The MR appearances of DNET are variable. Understanding the MR imaging type of DNET might improve the MR diagnosis of DNET.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between allergen reactivity, atopic disease history and clinical features in patients with chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data and follow-up results from 168 patients with CIndU in the Department of Dermatology, Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University from June 2014 to June 2015. Associations were analyzed between allergen reactivity, atopic disease history and clinical characteristics (including patient global assessment [PGA] scores, pruritus intensity, dermatology life quality index [DLQI], proportions of cases with complicated angioedema, natural course, etc.) in patients with different CIndU subtypes. Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 168 patients with CIndU, 117 were diagnosed with symptomatic dermographism (SD) , 32 with cold contact urticaria (CCU) , 5 with heat contact urticaria (HCU) , and 14 with cholinergic urticaria (CholU) ; there were 46 (39.3%) , 14 (43.8%) , 3, and 9 patients with positive skin prick test (SPT) among the patients with SD, CCU, HCU and CholU respectively, and no significant difference was observed in the positive rate of SPT among patients with different CIndU subtypes ( χ2 = 3.86, P = 0.283) . The SPT-positive CIndU patients showed significantly increased PGA scores, pruritus scores, DLQI scores and proportions of cases with complicated angioedema compared with the SPT-negative patients (all P<0.05) ; the CIndU patients with a personal or family history of atopic diseases also showed significantly increased PGA and DLQI scores compared with those without (both P < 0.05) . For different CIndU subtypes, the pruritus scores, PGA scores, DLQI scores, and proportions of cases with complicated angioedema were significantly higher in the SPT-positive SD patients than in the SPT-negative SD patients (all P < 0.05) ; the DLQI scores were significantly higher in the SPT-positive CholU patients than in the SPT-negative CholU patients ( Z = -2.28, P = 0.019) ; the pruritus scores were significantly higher in the CCU patients with a personal or family history of atopic diseases than in those without ( Z =-2.41, P = 0.022) . Conclusion:The allergen reactivity and atopic disease history of CIndU patients were associated with disease severity, pruritus intensity, quality of life, and the proportion of cases with complicated angioedema, but their relationship with the natural course of CIndU needs to be confirmed by further studies.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of papillary tumor of the pineal region(PTPR).Methods The ima-ging data of 10 patients with PTPR confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results All lesions were located in the posterior commissure area of the posterior inferior wall of the third ventricle.All lesions were heterogeneously hyper-intensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI.Multiple small cysts or microcapsules signal intensity were observed within the tumor.Of all 10 lesions,there were 9 lesions with high signal intensity within or at the edge of the lesion on T1WI.All lesions showed restricted diffusion.All 10 cases showed uneven and obvious enhancement patterns.Midbrain tectum was compressed and moved backward in 5 cases,moved downward in 2 cases,moved forward and downward in 1 case,and was not clearly displayed in other 2 cases.One case was disseminated and 1 case was hyperperfusion.There were all 10 cases with obstructive hydrocephalus and equal or slightly high density on CT imaging,and 4 cases with calcification.Conclusion Imaging characteristics of PTPR included the lesions centered on the posterior commissure,compressed tectum with backward and downward,multiple small cysts or micro-capsules components within the tumor,hyperintensity on T1WI,and uneven and obvious enhancement patterns.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of quercetin in regulating chondrocyte extracellular matrix metabolism and inflammatory response in knee osteoarthritis （KOA） from the perspective of autophagy. MethodChondrocytes were extracted and cultured， and the primary cells were identified by immunofluorescence staining with collagen Ⅱ. The chondrocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） were divided into a control group （without any treatment）， a model group （10 mg·L^-1 LPS treatment for 48 h）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose quercetin group （10 mg·L^-1 LPS treatment for 48 h combined with 50， 100， and 150 mmol·L^-1 quercetin for 24 h）. The inhibitory effects of LPS （2.5， 5， 7.5， 10， 12.5 mg·L^-1） on the proliferation of chondrocytes for different periods （24， 48， 72 h） were detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8）. The effects of quercetin （50， 100， 150， 200 mmol·L^-1） on the LPS-induced proliferation of chondrocytes for different periods （12， 24， and 48 h） were investigated. The expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ （LC3Ⅱ） and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 was detected by Western blot. LPS-induced chondrocytes were treated with 3-methyladenine （3-MA）. The resultant cells were divided into a control group （without any treatment）， a model group （10 mg·L^-1 LPS）， a quercetin group （model group + 100 mmol·L^-1 quercetin）， a 3-MA group （model group + 100 μmol·L^-1 3-MA）， and a 3-MA + quercetin group （model group + 100 μmol·L^-1 3-MA + 100 mmol·L^-1 quercetin， specifically， LPS for 48 h， 3-MA for 2 h， and then quercetin for 24 h）. The content of interleukin （IL）-1β and tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 （MMP-13） and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 （TIMP1） was detected by Western blot. ResultCollagen Ⅱ immunofluorescence staining showed that the extracted cells were consistent with the characteristics of chondrocytes. As revealed by CCK-8， the optimum concentration of LPS was 10 mg·L^-1 with an action time of 48 h， and the optimum concentration of quercetin was 100 mmol·L^-1 with an action time of 24 h. Western blot results showed that compared with the control group， the model group showed decreased expression of LC3Ⅱ （P<0.01） and increased expression of p62 （P<0.01）. The expression of LC3Ⅱ in the quercetin groups was higher than that in the control group （P<0.01）， especially in the medium-dose quercetin group. The p62 expression in the quercetin groups was lower than that in the control group （P<0.01）， especially in the medium-dose quercetin group. Compared with the control group， the model group showed increased expression of MMP-13 （P<0.05） and decreased expression of TIMP1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the quercetin groups and the 3-MA + quercetin group showed decreased expression of MMP-13 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， especially the quercetin groups， and increased expression of TIMP1 （P<0.01）， especially the quercetin groups. Morphological changes in chondrocytes under the inverted microscope showed that quercetin could restore the morphology of damaged chondrocytes. CCK-8 showed that compared with the control group， the model group showed inhibited chondrocyte proliferation （P<0.01）， and compared with the model group， the quercetin groups and the 3-MA + quercetin group showed promoted chondrocyte proliferation （P<0.01）， especially the quercetin groups. ELISA results showed that IL-1β and TNF-α levels in the model group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.01）， and the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the quercetin groups and the 3-MA + quercetin group were lower than those in the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the decrease in the quercetin groups was the most significant. ConclusionQuercetin can promote LPS-induced chondrocyte proliferation， regulate chondrocyte extracellular matrix synthesis and metabolic balance， inhibit the inflammatory response， and restore chondrocyte function. The mechanism may be related to the activation of autophagy by quercetin.
