Background and purpose: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is currently the only non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging technique which can detect metabolite composition of live organ and tissue and also conduct semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis. We analyzed the characteristics of metabolic changes among normal liver, cirrhosis regenerative nodule and liver cancer on the background of cirrhosis by voxel proton MR spectroscopy at 1.5 Tesla. Methods: 20 healthy volunteers (control group), 25 cirrhosis (cirrhosis group) and 23 hepatocellular carcinoma after cirrhosis (HCC group) patients were our candidates. The characteristics of spectra of ~1H-MRS were observed. The height and ratio of choline complex (Cbo) and lipid methylene (Lip2) were recorded and the results were compared among the groups. Results: The success rate of ~1H-MRS was about 88.2% (60/68). There were statistically significant differences among the heights of Lip2 peak of the three groups, and also between that of the control group and the group of liver cancer. But there were no significant differences between that of control group and cirrhosis group, cirrhosis group and liver cancer group. The comparison of the height of Cho peak and the ratio of Cho/Lip2 showed statistically significances both among the three groups and between each other. Conclusion: The metabolic changes of the liver could be shown non-invasively by ~1H-MRS, which could be useful for differential diagnosis or diagnosis of cirrhosis regenerative nodule and HCC.

Objective To retrospectively analyze CT and MR appearances of hepatic adenoma,and to study the causes of misdiagnosis with review of relative literatures.Methods CT and MRI data of 8 patients with pathologically confirmed hepatic adenoma were retrospectively analyzed.Pre-and post-contrast tri-phase (arterial,portal venous and delayed) CT scans and routine MR .scan were performed in all 8 patients,and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (~1H-MRS) was performed in 2 patients.Results Typical demonstrations were found in 4 patients who were correctly diagnosed.Among the others with atypical findings,3 patients were misdiagnosed as liver cancer and 1 as focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) .The ~1H-MRS curves of 2 adenoma tumor showed that the peak of choline of tumor tissue had no significant difference comparing with that of normal liver tissue around the tumor tissue.Conclusion CT and MRI findings of hepatic adenomas have some characteristics,but atypical manifestations lead to misdiagnose.~1H-MRS may be helpful for the differential diagnosis of hepatic adenoma.

The fruit of Pandanus tectorius (PTF) has a long history of use as a folk medicine to treat hyperlipidemia in Hainan province, South China. Our previous studies have shown that the n-butanol extract of PTF is rich in caffeoylquinic acids and has an adequate therapeutic effect on dyslipidemic animals induced by high-fat diet. In this work, seven caffeoylquinic acids isolated from PTF were screened for the lipid-lowering activity in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Oil-Red O staining, microscopy and intracellular triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) quantification showed that 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA), 3, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,5-CQA), and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-CQA) significantly inhibited lipid accumulation induced by oleic acid and decreased intracellular levels of TC and TG in a dose-dependent manner. These three caffeoylquinic acids showed no significant cytotoxicity at concentrations of 1 -50 μmol x L(-1) as determined by MTT assay. Realtime quantitative PCR revealed that 3-CQA and 3, 5-CQA significantly increased the expression of lipid oxidation-related genes PPARα, CPT-1 and ACOX1 while 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3,4,5-CQA decreased the expression of lipogenic genes SREBP-1c, SREBP-2, HMGR, ACC, FAS. Overall, 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3, 4, 5-CQA may be the principal hypolipidemic components in PTF which can decrease intracellular lipid accumulation through up-regulating the expression of lipid oxidative genes and down-regulating the expression of lipogenic genes.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effects of halofuginone on radiation-induced pulmonary injury and to explore the therapeutic mechanism of this drug. Methods:A total of 72 healthy female C57BL/6 mice were randomized into 4 groups, namely, control, irradiation, halofuginone, and irradiation plus halofuginone groups, with 18 mice in each group. No treatment was performed in the control group. In the halofuginone group, the halofuginone lavage was conducted once a day, with a continuous course treatment for a month or until sacrifice of the mice. In the therapeutic alliance group, the treatment mode was the same as that in the halofuginone group. Then, a 6MV-X ray single fraction irradiation was performed after the completion of a 15-day intragastric administration. At 24 h, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and 20 weeks after the irradiation, 3 mice from each group were randomly sacrificed, and total lung tissues were harvested. The lung was dissected to prepare pathological sections. The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E) to explore morphologic changes. The protein and mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 were analyzed by a combi-nation of immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction. The level of hydroxyproline was also measured. Results: The out-comes of H&E staining showed that halofuginone markedly ameliorated the acute pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis induced by irra-diation. The combination group had a lower level of hydroxyproline than the irradiation group, with statistically significant differences at 20 weeks after irradiation (P=0.037). The protein and mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 were higher in the irradiation and combi-nation groups than in the control group and (or) halofuginone group at different time points (P<0.05). The combination group had lower TGF-β1 protein expression than the irradiation group at different time points, with statistically significant differences at 2, 4, 12, and 20 weeks after the irradiation (P<0.05). Meanwhile, TGF-β1 mRNA level was lower in the combination group than in the irradiation group only at 4 and 12 weeks after the irradiation (P<0.05). Conclusion:Halofuginone can ameliorate the irradiation-induced lung inflamma-tion and fibrosis probably by inhibiting the radiation-induced TGF-β1 expression. Therefore, halofugione is expected to be a therapeu-tic drug for preventing irradiation injury of the lung.

Objective To investigate the impact of chronic renal insufficiency on serum levels of protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist‐Ⅱ(PIVKA‐Ⅱ) and sialic acid (SA) .MethodsThe levels of serum PIVKA‐Ⅱ ,SA ,urea and creatinine(Cr) were detected in 127 cases of chronic renal insufficiency ,32 cases of renal disease with normal renal function ,57 healthy controls un‐dergoing the physical examination and 120 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ) by using the chemiluminescent and enzymatic methods respectively .The serum urea and creatinine levels were also measured .The estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated .Results The serum PIVKA‐Ⅱ level had no statistical difference in among the healthy control group ,renal disease with normal renal func‐tion group and renal disease with renal insufficiency group (H=2 .902 ,P> 0 .05) ,moreover significantly lower than that in the HCC group (U=319 .5 ,203 .00 ,665 .50 respectively ,P<0 .001) .Serum PIVKA‐Ⅱ level had no statistical difference among vari‐ous stages in the disease with renal insufficiency group (H=3 .991 ,P>0 .05) .However ,serum SA levels had statistical differences among the healthy control group ,disease complicating normal renal function group and disease complicating renal insufficiency group( H = 63 .685 ,P<0 .001) ,and among the various stages in the disease complicating renal insufficiency group (H=64 .689 , P<0 .001) .The serum SA level was negatively correlated with eGFR level (r= -0 .705 ,P<0 .001) ,and positively correlated with Urea and Cr levels (r= 0 .599 ,r= 0 .704 ,P<0 .001) .The SA level in the HCC group was significantly increased compared with that in the stage 1-4 of chronic kidney disease(CKD) (U=126 .00 ,163 .50 ,247 .00 ,715 .00 respectively ,P<0 .001) ,but had no obvious change compared with the stage 5 of CKD(U=419 .00 ,P>0 .05) .Conclusion The renal insufficiency has no obvious im‐pact on serum PIVKA‐Ⅱexpression ,but could significantly increase the SA expression level ,moreover is closely related with the se‐verity of renal function impairment ,thus indicating that the SA level increase not only has the assisted diagnosis value on HCC and multiple malignant tumors ,but also better reflects the renal function status in the patients with chronic renal insufficiency .
