Objective To investigate the insula and its related network of schizophrenia patients and its correlation to behavior performance with functional magnetic resonance imaging.Methods Fourteen patients with paranoid schizophrenia and sixteen normal subjects received blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging(BOLD-fMRI) examinations based on resting state and digital 2-back working memory task.The fMRI data were processed and analyzed with SPM2,AFNI and Matlab software packages (thresholded at P =0.005,uncorrected).Medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC,BA10) was placed as region of interest (ROI).Results The functional connectivity positively or negatively correlated with MPFC was lower for patient group than that for control group in resting and task states.In resting state,the brain areas negatively correlated with MPFC mainly included the bilateral superior temporal gyrus (BA22),cuneus (BA 18/19),inferior parietal lobule (BA40),right parahippocampus for patient group and the bilateral insula/superior temporal gyrus(BA22),inferior parietal lobule(BA40),paracentral lobule,parahippocampus for control group.The brain areas positively correlated with MPFC mainly included the pineal gland areas for patient group and the left anterior nucleus thalamus,bilateral medial superior frontal gyrus (BA6),right inferior corpus callosum (BA34) and the cerebellar vermis for control group in resting state.In 2-back task,the brain areas negatively correlated with MPFC mainly included the right cerebellar hemisphere,left superior parietal lobule/precuneus (BA7),left superior frontal gyrus (BA6) for patient group and the left medial dorsal thalamus,bilateral lateral premotor area (BA6),left inferior parietal lobule/precuneus (BA7),right cerebellar hemisphere for control group.The accuracy of reaction was lower in patient group than that in control group((78.30 ± 8.76) % vs (89.89 ± 8.05) %,P =0.01) and the correlation between the accuracy and the left medial dorsal thalamus had statistical significance (r =-0.52,P =0.04).Conclusion The altered functional connectivitv of the bilateral insula and its related network indicates functional disintegration of the limbic system in patients with schizophrenia.Widespreadly reduced functional connectivity and the functional disconnection of left medial dorsal thalamus mav be one of the reasons for poor behavior performance in schizophrenia patients.

Objective To investigate the CT features and different risk CT findings of intestinal stromal tumor. Methods The CT imaging data of 25 cases of intestinal stromal tumor confirmed by pathology and compared with operative and pathologic findings were retrospectively studied. Analyzing the CT features based on Histopathologieal classification of the different risk groups and using chi-square test to compare the differences. Results There were 9 cases which tumors originated from the jejunum, and 13 cases from ileum, only 3 cases from duodenum. Among them, 2 cases were submucosal type, 13 cases were intramural type, and 10 cases were subserous type. The pathologic patterns of different risk which included high-risk, intermediated-risk, low-risk, and very low-risk were 12 cases, 7 cases, 5 cases and 1 cases respectively. A typical CT manifestations of intestinal stromal tumors were a outward growth of irregular or round soft tissue mass originated in small intestine which had clear boundary and the non-homogeneous density, which corresponding to necrosis, cystic change, mucoid degeneration and sinus or cavity. Mesenteric fat invaded by tumor showed high-density lines or points shape. The Enhancement of lesion was obvious and not homogeneous which showed little change in peak of enhancement between arterial phase and venous phase. Intestinal stromal tumors took 5 cm as the boundary which including different size, shape, density, and appearance vessel-like artery shadow at arterial phase between different risk groups(low, very low-risk group and intermediated, high-risk group) were statistically different (P <0.05), while enhanced degree without significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion CT findings of small intestine stromal tumor have characteristics and CT features have significant difference between different risk groups. These features of more than 5 cm in diameter, non-homogeneous density, irregular shape and chaos appearance like vascular enhancement are showed in intermediated-high-risk group.

Objective To observe the expression of HER-2 and TOPO-Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancer,analyze the correlation between their expression and provide theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis,prognosis and treatment. Methods Expression levels of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα in 10 normal ovarian tissues,20 benign tumors and 58 cases of ovarian epithelial cancers were detected by immunohistochemical method, and their correlations with pathological features were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HER-2 in normal ovarian and benign tumor tissues were significantly lower than ovarian epithelial cancers respectively ( 10. 0% , 15.0% VS 46. 6% ;P < 0. 05 ). The positive expression rate of TOPO- Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancers was significantly higher than normal and benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissue (53.4% vs 10. 0%, and 15.0%,Ps < 0. 05 ), but we did not find significant difference in the comparison between normal and benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissue ( Ps > 0. 05 ). The expression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα were significantly correlated with clinical stages, histological differentiation of tumor cells (Ps < 0. 05 ) ,but there were no correlations between the age or histological type. In ovarian cancer tissues, a positive correlation between the expression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα was observed ( r = 0. 324, P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion The overexpression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱαplay an important role in ovarian carcinogenesis and development. The expression of HER-2 is positively correlated with TOPO- Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancers. Coexpression of the two moleculars may be involved in the development and progression of ovarian epithelial cancer, which should be further studied.
