1.CT perfusion-weighted imaging evaluation of neurological function recovery in cerebral infarction rats undergoing neural stem cell transplantation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(41):6654-6658
BACKGROUND:CT perfusion technology is a common non-invasive detection method, which can be used to quantitatively determine the ischemia severity and range at early stage of cerebral infarction and then judge whether ischemic brain tissues can survive or recover. OBJECTIVE:To assess the neurological function recovery of cerebral infarction rats undergoing neural stem cel transplantation using CT perfusion imaging. METHODS:A total of 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, cerebral infarction group, transplantation group, with 20 rats in each group. Rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was made in the latter two groups. After 24 hours of modeling, PBS and 8×105 neural stem cels were administratedvia the tail vein into the rats in the cerebral infarction and transplantation groups, respectively. CT perfusion-weighted imaging was performed at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days after transplantation. Modified neurological severity scores were recorded at 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after transplantation. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining was used to calculate infarct volume at 4 weeks after transplantation. Hematoxylin- eosin staining was adopted to observe pathological changes of brain tissues at 2 weeks after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were no abnormal hemodynamic changes in the control group at different time points. The transplantation group exhibited an increasing CT value with time, and the increased cerebral blood flow could improve the survival rate of neurons in the ischemic penumbra. The modified neurological severity score and infract volume in the transplantation group were both significantly lower than those in the cerebral infarction group (P < 0.05). Cel necrosis was improved obviously in the transplantation group. These results show that CT perfusion imaging can be used to observe the neurologic function recovery of cerebral infarction rats in aspects of morphology and hemodynamics.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of asymptomatic adrenal pheochromocytoma. Method The clinical data of 33 patients with asymptomatic adrenal pheochromocytoma were reviewed. Results All the patients were not preut with typical signs and symptoms of pheochromocytoma, 16 patients were found adrenal mass by routine physical examination, 15 patients presented with superior abdominal or flank pain, 1 patient was fever and 1 patient was diarrhea. Most of patients were prent with round mass with low density in the center of the tumor,5 patients had elevated level of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine (16% ,5/31),24 hours urine CA and VMA were elevated in 6 patients (24%, 6/25) and 5 patients (20%, 5/25) respectively, 26 patients who were suspected pheochromocytoma preoperatively were treated with α-adrenergic blockade (prazosin) to control the blood pressure or with intravenous colloid fluids and blood transfusion to expand intravascular volume before operation. The tumors were removed successfully in 32 patients, and biopsy was done in 1 patient because of the serious invasion to the vena cava by the tumor. All the patients were diagnosed pheochromocytoma histopathologically,and followed up for 1 month to 7 years, no tumor recurrence. Conclusions The patients with asymptomatic adrenal pheochromocytoma have lower catecholamine excretion in their plasma and urine. Combination of modem imaging examinations are useful methods to diagnose asymptomatic adrenal pheochromocytoma. To lower the risk of operation, the control of blood pressure and the expanding of intravascular volume are important for the patients with huge adrenal mass or typical suspected appearance of pheochromocytoma.
