Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder causing great distress to individuals, families and even society, and there is not yet effective way of unified prevention and treatment up till now. Lots of neuroimaging techniques, however, such as the magnetic resonance imaging, are widely used to the study of the pathogenesis of PTSD with the development of medical imaging. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be applied to detect the abnormalities not only of the brain morphology but also of the function of various cerebral areas and neural circuit, and plays an important role in studying the pathogenesis of psychiatric diseases. In this paper, we mainly review the task-related and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of the PTSD, and finally suggest possible directions for future research.

Objective To observe changes of the structure and function of microvessels during the formation and development of the rat cerebral glioma with steady-state susceptibility contrast-enhanced MR imaging. Methods A total of 30 bearing-tumor rats were divided into 3 groups (1-week group, 2-week group and 3-week group) and underwent MR examination. Blood volime (BV) and vessel size index (VSI_(MRI)) of peripheral tumor areas, central tumor areas and normal cerebral tissue in the opposite side were measured, and compared with histologic findings. Results With time of bearing-tumor increasing, BV of central tumor area present an up-and-down curve-like change, which related to the host blood vessel regression in tumor central area, the decreasing of blood vessel density and histopathologically obvious necrosis. BV of peripheral tumor areas increased because of active blood angiogenesis in this area, while VSI_(MRI) increased gradually, especially in the central tumor area. There was obviously correlation between the VSI_(MRI) and VSI _(histo) (P<0.01). Conclusion BV and VSI_(MRI) can exactly reflect the morphology and functional information of microcirculation of tumor during the growth and development of gliomas.

Objective To explore the of value steady-state susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI (SSCE-MRI) in assessment of anti-angiogenesis therapy in rat C6 glioma. Methods Seventeen rats with the bearing-tumor were randomly divided into the therapy group (n=8) and the contrast group (n=9). Human-recombination endostatin (10 mg/kg) was injected to animals in therapy group, and saline of the same dose was injected to the contrast group for 7 days. Blood volume (BV) and vessel size index (VSI) were measured of tumors in peripheral, central and normal areas with MR pre- and post-therapy. Results After therapy of endostatin, the tumor volume was obviously different between therapy group and contrast group (t=5.26, P<0.05). BV and VSI_(MRI) of tumor decreased in both peripheral and central areas, particularly in the peripheral area (t=4.14, 3.66, all P<0.01). Conclusion Assessment of therapeutic effect of anti-angiogenesis in C6 glioma is feasible with SSCE-MRI, and it can reflect the changes of BV and VSI_(MRI) pre- and post-therapy.

Objective To assess the influence of medical monochrome liquid crystal displays (LCD) with different resolutions for the detection performance of micro-nodules (diameter <10 mm) on chest radiograms. Methods Eighty-seven DR chest images that were verified with CT were selected from PACS on-line, including 32 positive images, 32 suspected images and 23 normal images. The diameters of all nodules were lower than 10 mm. Three of high-, mid- and low-experienced radiologists who participated in the ROC study interpreted these 87 images using three types of LCDs with different resolutions, respectively. Regarding the presence of nodule, five-point confidence level rating scale was used, i.e. definitely absent, probably absent, possibly present, probably present and definitely present. All observers marked their confidence levels of every image according to the presence of pulmonary nodule on different displays. Software SPSS 13.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results AUC increased with the increasing resolutions and radiologists' experiences in 2MP, 3MP, 5MP displays. For the detection performance of pulmonary nodules (diameter <10 mm), there was no significant difference among different types of displays or different aptitudes of radiologists. Conclusion It's equivalent for the detection performance of pulmonary nodule (diameter <10 mm) on 2MP, 3MP and 5MP medical monochrome LCD when no restriction on the use of image post-processing tools. Highly-experienced radiologist can get the most information when using 5MP display. It is advisable to combine the diagnostic workstation system with high-, mid- and low-resolution monitors, and reasonable equipment scheme between different types of displays and different aptitudes of radiologists could result in better cost-efficacy.
