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

Objective To investigate the markers in early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing heart surgery.Methods Markers included serum cystatin C (CyC),and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),interleukin 18(IL-18),retinol binding protein(RBP)and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase(NAG).Twenty-nine cardiac surgical patients hospitalized were enrolled in the study.Serial blood and urine samples were collected immediately before incision and at various time intervals after surgery.The primary outcome measure was AKI.defined as a 50%increase in Scr from baseline. Results The cohort consisted of 29 patients aged(62.9±13.7)years,and baseline Scr was(73.2±11.9)μmol/L.There were no significant differences in demographics between cases and controls,while the aortic clamp time was predictably longer in AKI cases as compared to controls[(60.63±13.92)vs(43.00±9.20)rain,P<0.05].Each biomarker difiered significantly between cases and controls at least one timepoint.Optimal AUCs were for CyC at 10 houm with sensitivity (ST)0.71,specificity(SP)0.92,AUC=0.83(0.67-1.00),cut-off(CO)1.31 mg/L;NGAL at 0 hour with ST 0.84,SP 0.80,Auc=0.85(0.70-1.00),CO 49.15 μg/g Ucr;IL-18 at 2 hours with ST 0.85,SP 0.73,AUC=0.81(0.64-0.97),CO 285.65 ng/g Ucr;RBP at 0 hour with ST 0.75,SP 0.67,AUC=0.77(0.60-0.95),CO 2934.65μg/g Ucr and NAG at 4 hours with ST 0.86,SP 0.67,AUC=0.72(0.53-O.92),CO 37.05 U/mg Ucr.Using a combination of all the 5 biomarkers analyzed at the optimal time-point as above,an AUC of 0.98(0.93-1.02)(P<0.01)in this limited sample was able to obtain. Conclusions Application of serum and urinary biomarkers for the prediction of AKI in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is highly dependent on the sampling time.Of the evaluated markers,uNGAL has the best predictive profile.uRBP also shows similar predictive power.Combining all the five above biomarkers is able to predict significantly more cases,suggesting that the use of more than one marker may be beneficial clinically.

Objective To observe the biocompatibility of a biomimetic designing of a multi-grade compositions in repairing articular cartilage and subchondral bone in animal bodies and repair the fullthickness defects in articular cartilage with the compositions and to study the regenerated cartilage histomorphologically. Methods Biocompatibility study: Acute general toxicity test, Haemolysis test, subcutaneous implantation test and chronic toxicity test. Articular cartilage defects repaired experimental study :The models of defects in articular cartilage were made artificially in both condylus lateralis femoris of mature rabbits. Implanted with the biomimetic designing of a multi grade compositions randomly at one side as the experimental group and the other side were untreated as the control group. The rabbits were killed at 4, 6, 8and 12 weeks after operation, respectively, with 6 ones at each time, and the macroscopic, histological, ultrastroctural examinations and semi-quantity cartilage scoring employing Wakitanifa repaired cartilage value system were performed. Results Biocompatibility study: (1) The rabbits' weight in experimental group kept growing .(2) Haemolysis rate of rats to different concentrations of diffusion solution was<5%.(3) In chronic toxic reaction, rabbits' liver and kidney function was not different compared with the control groups at 12weeks and the index before operation. Articular cartilage defects repaired experimental study: 4-8 weeks after operation, the defects in the experimental group were partly filled with hyaline cartilage. Twelve weeks after operation, the defects in the experimental group were completely filled with mature hyaline cartilage.However, fibrous tissues were seen in the control group all the time. At 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively, the Wakitanifa cartilage scores were (7.60±0.98), (5.69±0.58), (4.46±0.85) and (4.35±0.12), respectively,in the experimental group and (10.25±1.05), (9.04±0.96), (8.96±0.88) and (8.88±0.68), respectively, in the control group. Differences between the control group and the experimental group were significant. Conclu sion The biomimetic designing of a multi-grade compositions has good biocompatibility and may induce cartilage regeneration to repair the full-hickness defects of articular cartilage.
