Objective To present the CT and MRI findings of the fibrous dysplasia(FD) of the spine.Methods CT and MRI findings were retrospectively evaluated in 19 cases of FD of spine,all of which were confirmed pathologically.Nineteen patients underwent CT plain scanning(19/19) and 5 had enhanced CT scanning(5/19).Patients were also examined by MRI plain scan(11/11) or MRI enhanced scan (6/11).The location of tumors,the type of bone destruction,the boundary of lesions,internal intensity or signal,the enhancement pattern of lesions,and presence of compression fractures,spinal deformity were observed.Result Nine cases had monostotic FD,while 10 had polyostotic FD.In all the 49 lesions of 19 cases,13 lesions were located in the cervical vertebrae,23 lesions in the thoracic vertebrae,11 lesions in lumbar vertebrae,and 2 lesions in sacral vertebrae.Thirty-three lesions involved both vertebral body and appendix.Pure osteolysis were found in 26 lesions on CT examinations.Peripheral osteosclerosis rims (41/49) and expansive lesions(32/49) were seen.Residual bone crest(28/49) and ground-glass opacity(23/49)were noted.Different degrees of vertebral compression were found in 19 lesions.Five patients had spinal deformity.On T1WI,14 lesions showed intermediate or low signal,and 10 lesions presented as heterogeneous signal.On T2WI,6 lesions had low signal intensity,4 lesions were noted as hyperintensive,and 14 lesions presented as heterogeneous signal.Multiple fluid-fluid levels were found in 1 lesion.Low signal rims were seen in 14 lesions.Twenty lesions of 11 patients had significant enhancement.Conclusion Expansive pattern,ground-glass opacity,peripheral osteosclerosis rims and significant enhancement were helpful findings for the diagnosis of spinal FD.
2.Progress on DAB2IP gene
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2011;27(7):1445-1449
Human DAB2 interaction protein (DAB2IP) is a novel member of Ras GTPase-activating protein family. It interacts directly with disabled-2 protein (DAB2/DOC2) which suppresses growth of cancers derived from different tissues, including mammary, prostate and ovarian cancers. DAB2IP was identified as an immediate downstream effector mediated by DAB2/DOC2. DAB2IP and DAB2/DOC2 form a unique protein complex that has a negative regulatory effect on the Ras-mediated signal pathway. It is demonstrated that DAB2IP is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated by methylation in several cancers. This article reviews the structure and biological functions of DAB2IP gene as well as its potential roles in carcinogenesis and evolution.

Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(01):-
Objective To detect normal rat jejunum epithelial cells to learn about the distribution of peptide YY(PYY)receptor and measured two important parameters of PYY receptor so as to explore the target that PYY binds to and display its physiological function.Methods Receptor radioligand assay was conducted by using 125I-PYY to detect normal rat jejunum epithelial cells.We also measured receptor dissociation constant(Kd),the affinity or the ability that the receptor could bind ligand;maximum binding capacity(Bmax),the concentration of binding site;and Hill coefficient.Results There were PYY receptors in normal rat jejunum epithelial cells.Dissociation constant(Kd)of PYY receptor was(386.69?129.95)pmol/L.Maximum binding capacity(Bmax)was(303.21?116.85)fmol/mg protein.Hill coefficient was 1.PYY receptor had high affinity.Conclusion There are distributions of PYY receptors in normal rat jejunum epithelial cells.Kd means that PYY receptor has high affinity.Bmax means that the number of receptors is limited and decides the characters of saturability.We think that PYY directly inhibits secretion by binding to PYY receptor in jejunum epithelial cells when PYY inhibiting jejunum secretion.
