Sclerosing cholangitis includes a spectrum of chronic, variably progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and stricture of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Sclerosing cholangitis can be divided into primary sclerosing cholangitis of unidentified etiology and secondary sclerosing cholangitis caused by various identifiable etiologies, including immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing cholangitis, recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, ischemic cholangitis, acquired immunodeficiency syndromerelated cholangitis and eosinophilic cholangitis. In this article, we describe the imaging findings of the various spectrums of sclerosing cholangitis with anemphasis on a systemic approach in differential diagnosis. It is very important for magnetic resonance cholangiography and endoscopic cholangiography in imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis. We also discuss the clinical significance and therapeutic options for treating sclerosing cholangitis.

The liver specific contrast agent gadolinium ethoxybenzyldiethylenetriaminepe ntaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is routinely used in clinical magnetic resonance imaging. It combines assessment of tissue perfusion during the vascular phase with hepatocyte specific imaging during the hepatobiliary phase. This combination of imaging properties has been shown to provide excellent results in the detection and differentiation of liver lesions. The enhancement characteristics of Gd-EOB-DTPA in hepatocellular carcinoma, regenerative nodules and degenerated nodules were summarized in this review. Liver cell specific contrast agent can further improve the diagnostic ability.

BACKGROUND: The method of replenishing kidney has becoming one of the therapies for anti-senility in gerontology in Chinese medicine.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effects of the formula for nourishing kidney yin-zuoguiyin on serum malondialdehyde (MAD) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in metabolism of free radical.DESIGN: Complete randomized control experiment.SETTINGS: Microbiology and Immunology Department of Guangdong Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was performed in Immunology Research Room of Wannan Medical College from September 2002 to July 2004. Forty male senile ICR mice were employed, provided by Institute of Experimental Animal of Medical Scientific Academy in Sichuan. They were randomized into senile control, zuoguiyin group, single shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata) group (single group) and shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata) removal group (removal group), 10 mice in each one. Zuoguiyin composes of shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata), shamyao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae), gouqi (Fructus Lycii), zhi gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Praeparata),fuling (Poria) and shangyurou (Fructus Corni) at the ratio of 9:6:6:3:4:5. After decocted routinely, the solution in zuoguiyin group was concentrated to 0.577 5 g/mL of raw herbs contained; that in single group was to 0.157 5 g/mL and that in removal group was to 0.42 g/mL. The mixed medical solutions of 100 g/L were prepared successively in each group.INTERVENTIONS: In zuoguiyin group, single group and removal group,solutions of zuoguiyin and shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata) and solution with shudi (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata) removed were administrated successively, 4 times/day, 1.5 mL/time, totally for 75 days. No any drink was provided during the medication. The mice in senile control drank pipe water. After the eyeball extracted, blood of 2 mL collected and serum preserved, the thiobarbituric acid method was used to determine MAD content, the xanthine oxidase method was to determine SOD activity and the colorimetric method was to determine general capacity of anti-oxidation in serum.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① serum MAD content; ② serum SOD activity; ③ general capacity of anti-oxidation in serum.RESULTS: One mouse was dead in senile control and 3 mice in single group. Terminally, 36 mice entered result analysis. ① MAD content:Serum MAD content in zuoguiyin group and single group were lower than that in senile control [(5.280±1.204) μmol/L and (5.886 2.717) μmol/L,(9.533 3.494) μmol/L, (q=3.641-4.657, P ＜ 0.05)]. Serum MAD content in zuoguiyin group and single group were basically same. ② SOD activity: SOD activity in zuoguiyin group and removal group were higher than senile group [(7.008±0.782) mkat/L and (6.989±0.809) mkat/L, (5.908±0.392) mkat/L,(q=3.641-4.657, P ＜0.05)]. SOD activity in zuoguiyin group and removal group were basically same and that in single group and senile control were basically same. ③ General anti-oxidation capacity: The general capacity of anti-oxidation in serum in zuoguiyin group and single group were stronger than that in senile control, that in removal group was weaker than senile control, but the differences were not significant (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Zuoguiyin remarkably reduces MAD content and improves SOD activity in serum of senile mice. It is indicated that zuoguiyin acts remarkably on improving metabolism of free radical in senile body,strengthening SOD activity and reducing organic injuries caused by MAD accumulation.

In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be one of the key factors of post transcriptional gene regulation, which are involved in occurrence and development of many diseases. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has become an effective alternative treatment approaches for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the most important factors leading patients to withdraw from long-term PD, hence restricts the application and development of PD. MicroRNAs are closely related to the development of peritoneal fibrosis. This article reviews the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis and treatment of peritoneal fibrosis.

Objective In this study, we explored the mechanism of anti-bone resorption of RGD-insulin using osteoclast-like cells (OLCs) from giant cell tumor of bone as an in vitro model. Methods The function of bone resorption was observed and the staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAPase) was identified. The carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ (CAⅡ) gene expression, apoptosis and the adhesion of OLC that treated by RGD-insulin and echistatin were determined by in situ hybridization, TUNEL staining and adhesion test, respectively. Results OLCs were TRAP positive and had bone resorptive function. After OLCs were treated with 10 -5, 10 -6, 10 -7mol/L RGD-insulin and echistatin respectively, the numbers of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were (179?3), (238?11), (351?10) per well that treated with echistatin and (229?20), (222?21), (265?17) per well that treat with RGD-insulin.The expression of CAⅡ mRNA decreased, the number of OLCs apoptosis increased in a dose-dependent manner (P
