Objective To evaluate the value of multimodal MRI in differential diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.Methods Routine sequence,diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)and dynamic enhancement images about 1 6 squamous cell carcinoma and 21 adenocarcinoma patients were analyzed retrospectively.Taken a record about the size,edge,internal signal, enhancement types and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values when b=600 s/mm2,and the difference in the degree of pathological differentiation was studied.Results The average diameter of squamous cell carcinoma was (4.17±2.0)cm,while adenocarcinoma was (3.81±1.8)cm,lobulated and spiculation were the most common signs in both of them.Squamous cell carcinoma showed low T1signal in 12 cases(75%),low T2signal in 7 cases(43.7%),adenocarcinoma showed high T1signal in 10 cases(47.6%),high T2 signal in 14 cases(66.7%).Squamous cell carcinoma had lower ADC value than adenocarcinoma(1.27×10-3mm2/s vs 1.38×10-3mm2/s), and well differentiated tumors had higher ADC values than poor ones,it was statistically significant.The most common time-signal intensity curves were type A in squamous cell carcinoma(62.5%)and type B in adenocarcinoma(50%).Conclusion MRI findings of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are associated with the biological characteristics,squamous cell carcinoma has shorter T2signal and adenocarcinoma has shorter T1signal.Squamous cell carcinoma has lower ADC value than adenocarcinoma and is dominated by outflow curve (type A),these features are helpful in subtype and differential diagnosis.

Laboratory animals are indispensable strategic resources that support technological progress and innovation. At the same time, the biosafety of laboratory animals is an important component of national public health security. The production and use of laboratory animals require statutory administrative licensing. This article first summarizes the current status of management and development in Sichuan Province by reviewing the number, types, and industry distribution of license-holding facilities, the area of facilities and the status of top ten largest facilities by area, the types and quantities of laboratory animals produced, and the production capacity of certain facilities, as well as the types and quantities of laboratory animals used and the status of the top ten facilities by animal quantity. Then, it discusses the development advantages of the laboratory animal industry in Sichuan Province, including its leading industrial scale in the western region, increasing regional influence, and emerging comprehensive benefits. However, there are significant issues such as the inability of laboratory animal production to adequately meet the demand, the need to improve the level of technological innovation, and the challenges of ensuring animal safety management. Finally, corresponding countermeasures suggestions are proposed, including actively supporting the improvement of quality and efficiency of laboratory animal production, establishing a stable support mechanism for technological innovation, and placing a strong emphasis on animals safety management. This article aims to provide a reference for further improving the management level and industry development momentum of laboratory animals in Sichuan Province and other provinces.

Improving laboratory animal management system is one of the effective ways to promote the legalization and standardization of laboratory animal management. This article systematically reviews the relevant content and requirements of the latest laws, regulations, normative documents, and standards formulated and promulgated by the state since 2019 regarding the management of experimental animals. It also analyzes the current institutional framework in managing experimental animals in Sichuan Province from four aspects: administrative management, quality assurance, biosafety, and local standards. Furthermore, this article summarizes the existing problems and proposes corresponding policy recommendations in a targeted manner, aiming to provide a reference for the formulation of robust experimental animal management policies in Sichuan Province.
