Objective To evaluate imaging diagnosis, differential diagnosis, surgery and interventional therapy of hepatic angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis.Methods Clinical features, imaging appearances and interventional therapy for 2 cases of HAML in TS were retrospectrively analyzed. Results The features of HAML in TS are as following:(1) Two cases were female with no history of hepatitis and hepatocirrhosis, liver function test and alpha feto protein were normal. (2) the tumor was shown as a multiple hyperechoic mass with sharp margin on ultrasonography; well defined, fat density and intensity mass on computerized tomography (CT); hypervascular mass with early drainage of hepatic vein and tumor staining on angiography. (3) One case underwent interventional therapy. After 42 month follow up, the tumor was found to be diminished in size. Another case was under monitored with only the enucleating of left renal mass. The hepatic tumor showed no change after 10 months.Conclusions The imaging appearances of HAML in TS are relatively characteristic. Superselective arterial embolization is an effective treatment for HAML in TS.

Objective To investigate the effects of rapamycin which is an autophagy inducer and 3-adenine (3-MA) which is an autophagy inhibitor on motor behavior and autophagy related protein LC3 in C57BL/6 mice of Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods 40 C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control group and experimental groups which consist of MPTP model group,rapamycin group and 3-MA group,with 10 in each group.Mice in experimental groups received intraperitoneal injection with MPTP to establish PD models,and mice in control group received intraperitoneal injection with the same amount of saline solution for 1 week.Mice in rapamycin group received intraperitoneal injection with rapamycin and mice in 3-MA group received intraperitoneal injection with 3-MA at the same time when MPTP was injected.Animal behavior detections were carried out on the 1 th,7th and 14th day after the last injection.After the last injection,mice were sacrificed and sections of midbrain nigra were gained for the detection of expression of autophagy specificity protein LC3 by Western Blot.Results Compared with MPTP model group,rapamycin could improve the general condition and behavioral manifestation of mice in pole test((14.89± 1.14) s vs (16.24±1.39) s,P<0.05;(15.18±1.36) s vs(17.93±1.11s),P<0.01),traction test((1.7±0.5) vs (1.2±0.4),P< 0.05;(1.5±0.5)vs (1.1±0.3),P<0.05) and open field test which contained total activity distance((5 875.3 ± 1148.9) cm vs (5 061.5±773.1) cm,P<0.05;(5 753.2± 1 106.7) cm vs (4 669.3±969.1) cm,P<0.01) and average speed((19.29±2.35) cm/s vs (16.47±3.01) cm/s,P<0.05;(18.71±2.71)cm/s vs (15.80±2.50) cm/s,P<0.01),while 3-MA aggravated behavioral deficits of mice in pole test(19.92± 1.61s vs 17.93± 1.11 s,P<0.05),and both total activity distance((3 879.7±575.0) cm vs (4 669.3±969.1) cm,P<0.05) and average speed((13.34± 1.87) cm/s vs (15.80±2.50) cm/s,P<0.05) in open field test were decreased.The results of Western Blot confirmed that rapamycin could increase the expression of LC3-Ⅱ,however 3-MA could re duce the expression of LC3-Ⅱ.Conclusion This study confirmed that rapamycin could alleviate behavioral symptoms of PD model mice and increase the level of LC3 in midbrain nigra,while 3-MA could exacerbate behavioral symptoms in PD model mice and decrease the level of LC3 in midbrain nigra.Thus it can be speculated that drugs which can regulate autophagy may be potential treatment protocols for PD.

Objective To study the conditions and methods of hydrodynamics-based transgene into rat regenerating liver in vivo. Methods The solution with concentration 30mg/L gene-containing plasmid was injected into rat tail veins at a speed of 2ml/s, then partial hepatectomy (PH) was performed at different times before/after injection, finally the rat (g) and regenerating liver (g) were weighed, and the liver coefficient (Lc) was calculated. Out of 15 groups which are Lc±Lc*0%, *5%, *10%, *15%, *20%, *25%, *30%, *35%, the most suitable group was chosen as correction coefficient to calculate the most appropriate volume of plasmid solution which was injected into the regenerating liver at different recovery times, and at the same time, right lobe of liver was gathered to make frozen section, then observe and quantify the positive green fluorescent protein (GFP) rate at 488 nm excitation wavelength. Results Injection of either physiological saline or empty plasmid has no significant difference compared with control (only PH performance). The appropriate time of hydrodynamics-based transgene is more than 12 hours before PH or anytime after PH. The solution volume of hydrodynamics-based transgene into liver regenerating rat after PH is rat weight (g) ×9%×1/3×corresponding correction coefficient (Trc). Both vector and target gene have effect on the time and abundance of gene expression. Conclusion Hydrodynamics-based transgene can effectively be applied to gene transfection in rat regenerating liver.
