Objective To determine the added clinical applications of MR virtual endoscopy (MRVE) plus MRCP in cholangiopancreatography. Methods In 14 month, 44 patients with obstructive jaundice and symptomatic bile trace were assessed by MRVE in biliary tract.The 2D data of heavily T 2 weighted images with FSE(non breath hold, respiratory trigger) and SSFSE(breath hold, multi slice single shot fast spin echo) sequence were transferred to the computer workstation. Navigator software (GEMS) was used to display intraluminal views of the pancreaticobiliary tract with a surface rendering technique. Results Patients suffered from neoplasm ( n =18), bile stone (17), postoperative complications of cholecystectomy( n =3), and other disease of biliary tract( n =6). MRVE could clearly demonstrate the anatomical structures in biliary tract, extended pancreas tract,biliary meatus narrowing and obstruction, bile duct stones, duct branches, and the inner wall of pathological obstruction.The main limitation of virtual endoscopy was inability to evaluate mucosa and lack of histological diagnosis. Sensitivity for detection of bile duct dilatation and site of obstruction was: 2D FSE 91 7%, and SSFSE 97 9%. Conclusion MRVE provided noninvasively endoscope like display of biliary tract.Its display ability was a supplement to image biliary trace. MRVE effect of multi slice SSFSE sequence was better than that of fast spin echo.

Objective To study the development of neural stem cells from human fetal brains at different developmental stages. Methods A total of 100 cases of embryos at 16-32 gestational weeks by induction of labor with water bag were collected for the determination of the distribution, forms, existing modes, and the number of neural stem cells in the hippocampus by SABC immunohistochemical method and light microscopy. Results Neural stem cells were found in the hippocampus at different fetal ages and located in the polymorphic layer, pyramidal, granular and molecular layers of hippocampus, mainly in polymorphic layer, pyramidal layer, and granular layer. Neural stem cells in hippocampus were round, ellipse, triangle, and stellate, particularly round and ellipse. No obvious enation was found. Neural stem cells had plenty of cytoplasm. The nuclei were round and ellipse with rare chromatin and nucleoli from 2 to 6. Most of neural stem cells were distributed among other neurons, and symmetric cleavage was found in some of them, but some neural stem cells were distributed in cluster and nest. The number of neural stem cells in hippocampus were different between groups and gradually decreased with the increasing gestational age. Conclusion Neural stem cells exist widely in the hippocampus at different gestational ages. There are differences in distribution, forms, existing modes, and number of neural stem cells in hippocampus at different gestational ages. Hippocampus may be the new originating region of neural stem cells.

Objective To discuss the application value of the combination detection of serum cystatin C(CysC),serum amyloid A (SAA)and urinary microalbumin(malb)for the early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods 112 cases of diabetic melli-tus(DM)were selected and divided into the non-DN group(malb<25 mg/L)and the early DN group(malb 30-299 mg/L)according to the urinary microalbumin level.50 cases of healthy subjects were selected as the control group.The levels of serum CysC and malb were measured by immuno-scatter turbidmetry and SAA was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISA).At the same time,the biochemical indexes of GLU,Cr,HbA1C were detected too.Results The levels of CysC,SAA and malb in the DM two groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group with statistical differences(P <0.05 ),moreover which were increased with the renal damage aggravation;the levels in the early DN group were significantly higher than those in the non-DN group with statistical differences(P <0.05).The levels of GLU and HbA1C in the DM two groups had statistically signifi-cant differences compared with the healthy control group(P <0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum CysC and SAA in the DM pa-tients are increased with the urinary malb level increase.The combined detection of CysC,SAA and malb could increase the diagnos-tic rate of the renal damage in early DN.
