Objective To explore the application value of 3.0T magnetic resonance perfusion weighted imaging(PWI)in the rat late brain glioma model.Methods C6 glioma cells were injected stereotactically into the right caudate nucleus of 32 Wistar rats.In 3 weeks after inoculation,the conventional MRI and PWI were performed.The relative cerebral blood volume(rCBV)values were recorded and compared with the pathological results.Results The tumor formation in 30 inoculated rats were confirmed by the sub-sequent pathological examination,with the tumor formation rate of 100%.PWI showed that rCBV values of the brain glioma region and the contralateral mirror image brain tissue were 262.61±72.82 and 189.39±57.21,the difference between them was statisti-cally significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The rat late brain glioma model is suitable for the study on the blood volume of brain tumor tissues.

Objective To analyze the skin barrier function in patients with facial steroid dermatitis.Methods Ninety-five patients with facial steroid dermatitis were enrolled into this study along with 25 healthy volunteers as controls.Transepidermal water loss(TEWL)and skin hydration were measured in 8 facial regions.including lesional skin in forehead,nasal tip,submaxilla,both cheeks and angulus oris,and non-lesional skin in the left posteior ear.Results Compared with the healthy group,the patients with steroid dermatitis had a significant higher value of TEWL on lower mandible,both angulus oris and cheeks(t:4.90,2.60,2.57,2.54,3.77,respectively,P<0.01),while a significant lower level of skin hydration was noted on both angulus otis,right cheek and forehead(t=3.27,3.81,2.02,2.78,respectively,P<0.05).Among the 8 test sites in both patients and controls,TEWL value decreased in the following order:submaxilla and both angulus oris>both cheeks and forehead>non lesional skin on the posteroir ear,and the decrease in skin water content was highest in submaxilla and both angnlus oris,followed by cheeks and forehead,and finally by left posterior ear.Conclusions In patients with facial steroid dermatitis,skin barrier function is disturbed on submaxilla,both angnlus oris and cheeks,and TEWL value is found to be higher in perioral area,while cheeks have a lower level of skin hydration.

Periampullary carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of digestive system,and its accurate diagnosis is still difficult.From January 2007 to July 2012,12 patients with periampullary carcinoma had been admitted to the Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University,and the imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.The results of ultrasonography revealed that all tumors were hypoechoic.The tumor displayed hyperenhancement in 3 patients,isoenhancement in 1 patient,hypoenhancement in 8 patients during the arterial phase on contrastenhanced ultrasonography (CEUS),while the tumor displayed hypoenhancement in all patients during the venous phase.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plain scanning showed duodenal papilla enlargement in 1 patient,ampullary tissue mass signal in 2 patients,tissue mass signal at distal common bile duct in 2 patients,the rest 7 patients did not show tissue mass signal.Lower biliary obstruction was the common manifestation of the 12 patients on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP),intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile vine-like expansion in 4 patients,double duct sign in 2 patients,the bottom of common bile duct with filling defect in 2 patients and it revealed beak-like narrow in 1 patient.CEUS,MRI and MRCP could both play an important role as conventional methods in diagnosing periampullary carcinoma.

AIM:To discuss the effect of Shenmai injection on insulin resistance ( IR) in 3T3-L1 cells and its mechanisms.METHODS:3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced by chemical reagents to differentiate into fully differentiated adipocytes.Oil red O staining was used to detect the differentiation level of the adipocytes .The insulin-resistant 3T3-L1 cell model was demonstrated using insulin , which was confirmed by glucose concentration in cell supernatant .The IR cell model was given 10 μmol/L rosiglitazone , 25 and 50 g/L Shenmai injection and normal saline for comparison .MTT assay was used to assess the cell activity of 3T3-L1 cells which was treated with drugs for 8, 16, 24 and 36 h.Glucose oxidase method was used to detect the glucose concentration in the cell supernatant at 8, 16 and 24 h.The protein levels of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT and p-AKT were determined by Western blot .RE-SULTS:3T3-L1 adipocytes were successfully induced as shown by the positive oil red O staining .The IR cell model was demonstrated , and glucose concentration in the cell supernatant after treatment with Shenmai injection showed that Shenmai injection reduced the IR in 3T3-L1 cell model.The protein levels of GLUT4, PI3K and p-AKT increased compared to con-trol group.CONCLUSION:Shenmai injection reduces the IR in 3T3-L1 cell model, which functions by increasing the protein levels of GLUT4, PI3K and p-AKT.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) combined with hypercoagulability in children. Methods The clinical data of 57 children with primary PNS were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical features and treatment were compared among high coagulation state group, non high coagulation state group and control group (20 children). At the same time, the differences between the simple nephrotic syndrome group (SNS) and nephritic syndrome group (NNS) in hypercoagulable state were analyzed. In addition, the correlation analysis was performed. Results Among 57 patients, there were 50 patients in high coagulation state group and 7 in non high coagulation state group. There was no significant difference in gender, age and clinical manifestations between two groups (P>0.05). The platelet (PLT) count, platelet aggregation (PCT), albumin (Alb), fibrinogen (Fib), D-dimer (D2) were significantly higher than those in the control group, and there were statistically significant differences (P all<0.01). There were significant differences in the levels of PLT, Fib, D2 and complement C4 between hypercoagulable state group and non hypercoagulable state group (P all<0.05). There were significant differences in HCT, TC, LDL, PT and complement C3 levels between SNS group (n = 32) and NNS group (n =18) in 50 patients with high coagulation state (P<0.05). There was positive correlation between HCT and complement C3 (r=0.30, P<0.05), while there was no correlation between PLT and other indices (P>0.05). All of the 57 patients were improved and has no thrombosis after the treatment. Conclusion Children with primary PNS were usually associated with different degrees of hypercoagulable state, and PLT, Fib, D2 could be used as reference indices for the severity of hypercoagulable state, and the activation of complement system might be related to the occurrence and development of hypercoagulable state.
