Purpose:To study the feasibility of 1 H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) in the chemical induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) model by a new 1.5T MR set and endeavor to have an initial understanding of the characteristics of its cancer development. Methods:Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat HCC models(n=30) were established. At different intervals rats were randomly scanned before being killed on the following day. Their livers were dissected for histopathologic study. Results:Three rats died unexpectedly. 27 rats (90%) developed liver lesions and were investigated according to the plan. T 1 WI is good for demonstration of anatomic structure and T 2 WI at showing the lesions in detail. The scanning methods have been improved gradually. 1 H-MRS results were satisfactory for 64% of the single-voxel and 50% of the multi-voxel respectively. Conclusions:DEN induced rat HCC model is suitable for the Medical Imaging studies and liver 1 H-MRS scan is practical with this new 1.5T unit.

Objective To probe into the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter coil embolization for congenital coronary artery fistula. Methods Between May 1999 and December 2002, coil embolization of coronary artery fistula was attempted in 6 patients aged 38 to 70 years (mean, 50.7 years). The fistulae connected the left coronary artery to the pulmonary artery in 2 patients, the right coronary artery to the pulmonary artery in 2, the right coronary artery to the right infra-pulmonary vein in 1, bilateral coronary artery (the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery) to the pulmonary artery in 1. Results Complete fistula occlusion was achieved in 5 patients (83.3%); one failed to go through the tortuous fistula and gave up coil embolization. There were no operative or late deaths and complications. Follow-up evaluation by physical examination and echocardiography in 5 patients showed no evidence of recurrent or residual coronary artery fistula. Conclusion On the basis of our result, we believe that transcatheter coil embolization of coronary artery fistula is a safe, effective and convenient procedure without a thoracotomy and the use of cardio-pulmonary bypass in some cases.

Background and purpose: MicroRNAs are 19–25-nucleotide noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the level of transcription and translation. The study aimed to confirm whether miR-216a suppresses cell proliferation and invasion by targeting PRKCA, thus to reveal molecular mechanism that miR-216a functions as a tumor suppressor in glioma. Methods: PRKCA 3’ untranslated region (UTR)-luciferase vector was constructed and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to examine the effect of miR-216a on luciferase activity. U251 cells were transfected with miR-216a mimics, and next Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of PRKCA protein. The effects of PRKCA downregulation on cell proliferation and invasion were observed after PRKCA siRNA was transfected into U251 cells. U251 cell proliferation assays were performed when cotransfected with miR-216a mimics. Results:The result demonstrated miR-216a could bind to the 3’UTR of PRKCA and inhibited the luciferase activity by 41%. PRKCA protein expressions were significantly down-regulated when miR-216a was overexpressed in U251. siRNA-mediated downregulation of PRKCA could suppress the potentials of cell proliferation and invasion. Conclusion:miR-216a suppresses cell proliferation and invasion by targeting PRKCA in glioma.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Kuijiening Paste acupoint application on ulcerative colitis (UC) patients of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency type, and its effect on serum levels of IFN-γand IL-4. Methods Sixty UC patients were divided into treatment group, control group and combined treatment group, 20 cases in each group, and were given Kuijiening Paste acupoint application plus placebo, oral sulfasalazine plus comfort paste and Kuijiening Paste acupoint application plus sulfasalazine respectively for 60 days. The clinical efficacy, mucosal lesions efficacy, mucosal pathology efficacy, changes of serum IFN-γand IL-4 were observed after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in clinical efficacy, mucosal lesions efficacy and mucosal pathology efficacy among the three groups (P>0.05). After treatment, IFN-γlevels of the three groups significantly reduced, and IL-4 levels significantly increased (P<0.01). The difference between the treatment group and the control group was significant (P<0.05). The difference between the combined treatment group and the control group was significant (P<0.01). Conclusion Kuijiening Paste acupoint application combined with sulfasalazine can regulate the level of immune cytokine in UC patients of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency type, and receive good clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the clinic characteristics and treatment methods of coronary ectasia. Methods One hundred and fifty-four cases in Anzhen hospital during the last 10 years, whom with coronary aneurysm diagnosed by coronary artery angiogram and summarized the characteristics of symptom, sign, diagnosis and treatment. Results All patients were proved with coronary angiography. There were 112(72.7%)patients presenting angina, but with no specific manifestation in electrocardiogram, X-ray and echocardiogram.Thrombolysis in emergency were taken to 3 cases with acute myocardial infarction patients. One hundred and fifty-four cases were treated with aspirin or heparinizeation, and with nitroglycerin, Calcium channel blocker to dilate vessel. The followed up of 154 cases about 1-20 years, six cases were suffered with acute myocardial infarction. One of the 6 cases was reinfarction and one case was sudden death. Conclusions Angina is the main clinical manifestation and coronary angiography is the accurate diagnostic method. Long-term application with anticoagulant agent and vasodilator should be done to prevent coronary spasm and myocardial infarction. If acute myocardial infarction occurs, prompt thrombolysis should be used, if it is ineffective, coronary artery bypass grafting should be carried out.
