Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), featuring as no ionizing radiation, higher soft tissue resolution and multiplanar imaging, has been widely used in the diagnosis of pediatric tumors. Conventional MRI techniques mainly provide information on morphological information of tumors but cannot display physiological and pathological changes in tumors. In recent years, with rapid development of MRI hardware and software, some functional MRI technologies have been applied in clinical practice and have become an important trend on pediatric oncology. These techniques include perfusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, susceptibility weighted imaging. These new technologies can demonstrate the microstructural information of tumors, which will provide more helpful information for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in pediatric tumors when combined with conventional MRI techniques.

Objective To detect the expression of T cell immunogloblin and mucin domain-containing molecule 3 (Tim-3) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from asthmatic children and asthmatic murine,and to explore the role of Tim-3 in bronchial asthma.Methods Recruiting 97 cases asthmatic children,47 children with acute asthma exacerbation(acute attack group),50 children with asthma remission (remittent group)and 42 children as the healthy control group.The Tim-3 mRNA expression was measured by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method.The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor-5 (TGF-β)were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and to analyze the correlation between Tim-3 mRNA and the level of IL-6.The asthmatic murine models were randomly divided into 2 groups:normal control group and asthma group.There were 10 mice in each group.PBMC in each group were collected.Expression of Tim-3 mRNA was detected by using real-time PCR.The level of CD4 + IL-17 + and CD4 + CD~ + FoxP3 + which reflected Th17 and regulatory T cells(Treg) expression respectively were detected by using flow cytometry,and the correlation between Tim-3 and Thl7/Treg level was analyzed.Results Expression of Tim-3 mRNA in children with acute asthma exacerbation was significantly higher than those in remission stage and healthy control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The expression of Tim-3 mRNA in children with asthma remission was significantly higher than that in healthy control group (P ＜ 0.05),and the level of IL-6 in children with acute asthma exacerbation was significantly higher than those in remission stage and healthy control group (all P ＜ 0.05).In the murine model of asthma group,the level of Tim-3 mRNA in PBMC was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P ＜ 0.01),and in asthma group CD4 + IL-17 + expression was significantly higher than normal control group but CD4 + CD25 + FoxP3 + was significantly lower than that in normal control group (all P ＜ 0.05),and the ratio of Th17/Treg increased in asthma group compared with normal control group (P ＜ 0.05).Tim-3 mRNA expression in PBMC was correlated positively with CD4 + IL-17 + level and Th17/Treg ratio respectively (all P ＜ 0.05),but was correlated negatively with CD4 + CD25 + FoxP3 + level(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The high level expression of Tim-3 mRNA in asthmatic children participated in the airway inflammation,which is associated with IL-6,and animal experiments indicating that Tim-3 is closely related with the imbalance of Th1 7/Treg,indicated that Tim-3 may play a certain role in asthma.

Objective　To investigate the expression of endometrial leukaemia inhibitory factor（LIF） gene in patients with unexplained infertility. Methods　 By a quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)，the expression of LIF gene on endometrium during mid-luteal phase was detected in 35 unexplained infertility (infertility group) cases and 20 infertile cases due to tubal obstruction or male factor (control group). Results　The level of LIF mRNA expression on endometrium during mid-luteal phase in infertility group was 0.448±0.239，significantly lower than those in the control group （1.093±0.761，P<0.01). Conclusions　Our findings suggested LIF might play an important role in the process of implantation. The decreased expression of LIF gene might be one of the major causes of unexplained infertility.

Objective To study the expression of acid secreted proteins that are rich in cysteine protein (SPARC protein)in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and its relationship with the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.Methods In order to detect SPARC protein expression levels in gastric adenocarcinoma ,104 primary gastric adenocarcinoma samples as well as 30 normal gastric tissues adjacent to carcinoma were studied by immu-nohistochemistry .Results The positive rate of SPARC protein in 30 cases of gastric mucosa adjacent to carcino-ma is 20%,and with weak expression or no expression;The positive rate in 104 cases of gastric cancer tissues was 76.1%,the difference was significant(P<0.01).The high expression rate of SPARC and lymph node metastasis in gastric adenocarcinoma were positively correlated (P<0.01).The SPARC expression rate of well and moderate differentiation of gastric adenocarcinoma were significantly lower than that of the low differentiation ( P<0 .05 ) . The average survival time of gastric cancer patients with high SPARC expression was 27.4 months.However,the average survival time of the patients with low SPARC expression was 40.9 months.The difference was significant (P<0.05).Conclusion SPARC protein is mainly high expressed in gastric cancer stromal tissue cells and fi-broblasts .The expression level of SPARC protein is significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation degree .The high expression of SPARC patients survival time is short and the prognosis is poor . However ,SPARC protein is not an independent prognostic factor .
