1.Microglia and Cerebral Ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(06):-
Microglia is the principal immune effector cell in brain. It plays some important roles in support, nutrition, protection, and repair in the physiological activities of neuron. Microglia can be quickly activated, which may proliferate after cerebral ischemia, and promote phagocytosis of macrophage. It exerts dual effects by producing neurotoxic molecules and neurotrophic factors. Therefore, to study the relationship between microglia and cerebral ischemia, give full play to its protective functions and reduce its damage will help to improve the therapeutic effects of cerebral ischemic injury.

Objective To evaluate the use of keyhole dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in evaluation of pituitary microadenomas. Methods Fifty three patients with pituitary microadenomas proved by operation or clinical findings such as headache, amenorrhea, lactating, fat or acromegaly were retrospectively studied on dynamic MR, conventional contrast enhanced MR, and unenhanced MR. Then the image data were analyzed by two experienced doctors who didn′t know the details and three degrees were made as follows: grade 0, no evidence of the tumor; gradeⅠ, asymmetry signals in the pituitary; and gradeⅡ, nodulated or sheets signals in the pituitary. The grading data were compared with statistical methods. Results In dynamic MR grading system: grade 0 was revealed in 1 patient, gradeⅠ in 29 patients and gradeⅡ in 23 patients. In conventional enhanced MR: grade 0 in 26 patients, grade Ⅰ in 17 patients and gradeⅡin 10 patients. In conventional unenhanced MR: grade 0 in 39 patients, grade Ⅰin 10 patients and grade Ⅱ in 4 patients. The diagnostic rate of dynamic MR, conventional enhanced MR, and unenhanced MR was 98.1%, 51.9%, and 26.4%, respectively. ( P
