Objective To investigate the MRI features of hepatic IgG4?related inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT). Methods Nine patients with 11 histopathologically proven IgG4?related hepatic IPTs were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical, morphological and MRI signal features on T1WI, T2WI, dynamic?enhanced, and diffusion?weighted imaging were assessed in detail and correlated with pathological findings. The paired t test was used to compare the ADC values of the tumors and the hepatic tissue. Results Hepatic IgG4?related IPT displayed certain MRI features. The dominant lesions were subcapsularly distributed (n=7) with a clear boundary (n=8), which typically showed hypointensity on T1WI (n=11), mild hyperintensity on T2WI (n=8), progressive (n=5) or persistent (n=4) enhancement pattern. Accompanied signs included delayed capsule?like enhancement (n=6) and central nonenhanced areas (n=7). Two lesions showed atypical wash?out pattern with iso or hypointensity on portal and delayed phases. In diffusion weighted imaging, all lesions were hyperintense, and the mean ADC value of the lesions [(1.42 ± 0.36) × 10?3mm2/s] was mildly lower than that of surrounding liver [(1.55±0.31)×10?3mm2/s], although no statistical differences were found(t=0.78, P=0.46). Conclusions Hepatic IgG4?related IPTs display various MRI manifestations. The lesions normally show progressive enhancement pattern with diffuse homogeneous or heterogeneous hyperintensity, accompanied by delayed capsule?like enhancement and central nonenhanced areas.

Objective To investigate the effect of SKP2 expression on radiation induced bystander effect (RIBE) of esophageal cancer cells.Methods The esophageal cancer cell lines with different SKP2 levels were applied for the study and the SKP2 expression was identified by Western blot.Micronuclei (MN) assay and DNA foci assay were used to evaluate the effect of SKP2 on RIBE.The cells were transfected with SKP2 gene or SKP2 siRNA to further verify the effect of SKP2 on RIBE.Results MN assay showed that the bystander effect induced by the cells with a high level of SKP2 was lower than that induced by the cells with a lower level of SKP2 (t =8.06,P < 0.01).These results were further confirmed by the gene transfection experiments.When the expression of SKP2 was increased,RIBE was decreased (t=11.12,10.16,P < 0.01).Contrarily,when the expression of SKP2 was reduced,RIBE was increased (t =8.39,8.83,P < 0.01).γ-H2AX foci formation assay disclosed that when SKP2 expression in the irradiated cells increased,the repair ability of DNA damage in the bystander cells was higher than the control (t =6.85,7.10,P < 0.01).With the expression of SKP2 decreased,the repair ability of DNA damage was lower than the control (t =7.66,8.47,P < 0.01).Conclusions Over-expression of SKP2 inhibits RIBE of esophageal cancer cells,at least partly through regulating DNA damage repair ability.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Hath1 on epithelial ridge (GER) cells from postnatal rat cochlear. METHODS An experimental method was developed which allowed the isolation and culture of GER cells from P1 rat cochleae using a combinatorial approach of enzymatic digestion and mechanical separation. The dissociated GER cells were cultured in DMEM+10% FBS. The GER explants infected with ad-Hath1 for 3 hours were cultured for 10 days and observed under scanning electron microscope. RESULTS The GER cell cultures tended to attach to the substratum and grow in patches which assume a polygonal morphology similar to that of epithelial cells in medium containing 10% serum. Stereociliary bundle-like structures were observed in the boundary of GER cell patches forced to express Hath1. CONCLUSION That GER cells which are likely hair cell progenitors could be cultured in vitro and generate stereociliary bundle-like structure when forced to express Hath1 suggests that the misexpression of Hath1 probably can induce the predifferentiation of pure hair cell progenitors into hair cells in vitro.
