Objective To assess the ability of pixel-based quantitative evaluation of CT values in differentiating benign and malignant cystic-solid ovarian tumors.Methods CT images of 41 cystic-solid ovarian lesions from 39 patients were reviewed,with 27 benign and 14 malignant confirmed by post-operation pathology or follow-up.Regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn along edges of tumors on all slices of contrast-enhanced images with ImageJ software.CT values of each pixel were extracted.CT values of 20,25,30,35 and 40 HU were used respectively as the threshold to divide cystic and solid components.Solid proportion,the mean and median CT values of solid component were calculated and compared between benign and malignant groups.Results Mean CT values of solid components were all higher in malignant than in benign ovarian masses under all the threshold values (P<0.05).For median CT values, the same trend existed under the threshold of 20,25,35 and 40 HU (P<0.05).For the solid proportion,difference was found only under the 40 HU threshold, with lower value in malignant group (0.67±0.25) than in benign group (0.47±0.31).ROC curves were drawn to differentiate benign and malignant lesions.The highest AUC was obtained by using the mean CT value of solid components defined by 40 HU threshold (AUC=0.735).Conclusion Pixel-based quantitative evaluation on CT images could help to define cystic and solid components of ovarian masses, with 40 HU to be an optimal threshold.Cystic-to-solid proportion and CT value of solid components derived from whole lesion can help to differentiate benign or malignant lesions.

Objective To explore the role of plastic astrocytes in focal cerebral infarct. Methods Immunohistochemical and double immunofluorescence techniques were used in the study. Results The astrcytes positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) occurred in the periinfarct area appeared hypertrophy and proliferation,specially on their processes and formed a network,and the processes oriented toward the infarct center from the periinfarction.The expression of excitatory amino acid transporter 1( EAAT1) increased in the penumbra area of cerebral infarct and manifested spot and fibre.The confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis showed the double staining for EAAT1 and GFAP.Conclusion The plastic astrocytes might participate in the pathological process of cerebral infarct recovery by enhancing the expression of EAAT1.;

Objective:To analyze the clinico-pathological characteristics, pathological diagnosis, and treatment of rhabdoid tu-mor. Methods:The medical records of four rhabdoid tumor patients that were admitted to the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Insti-tute and Hospital since 2000 were analyzed based on existing literature. Results:In one of the four cases, the tumor originated from the kidney, whereas in the other three, the tumor occurred from extra-renal soft tissues. Histologic analysis revealed that the tumor cells were loosely arranged with diffuse growth, vesicular nuclei, dyed cytoplasm, visible eosinophilic inclusions, and more nuclear fission. The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the vimentin and epithelial membrane antigen were positive, whereas CK, CD99, CD34, and S-100 were positive at different degrees. MyoD1, Desmin, and INI-1 were negative. Conclusion:Rhabdoid tumor is rare and highly aggressive. It occurs mainly in the kidney and can also be found in other systems. The unique pathological form and im-munohistochemical staining observed on the tumor can be used as reference for diagnosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of astragalo-side IV ( ASIV) on myocardial energy metabolism and mitochondrial biosynthesis in myocardial cells of dia-betic rats induced by streptozotocin ( STZ ) . Methods
50 SD rats at 6 weeks of age were assigned to 5 groups,10 for each group:control group, model group, ASIV 10 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 group, ASIV 20 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 group, ASIV 40 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 group. Except the control group,the remaining 40 were used to estab-lish type 1 diabetes model by the tail vein injection of STZ (35 mg·kg-1 ) . At the end of 16 weeks of treat-ment, left ventricular systolic pressure ( LVSP ) , left ventricular diastolic final pressure ( LVEDP ) and left ventricular maximum rising/falling rate ( ± dp/dtmax ) were tested. Pathological section was observed by HE staining. ATP, ADP, AMP levels were detected by ELISA. The expressions of PGC-1α and NRF-1 protein were assessed by Western blot. The expressions of PGC-1α and NRF-1 mRNA were determined by RT-PCR. Results Compared with control group, model group markedly elevated LVEDP and decreased LVSP, ± dp/dtmax , ATP/AMP and ATP/ADP ratio. Com-pared with model group, low-dose ASIV group did not change significantly,middle-dose ASIV group and high-dose ASIV group obviously decreased LVEDP, and im-proved LVSP, ± dp/dtmax , ATP/ADP and ATP/AMP ratio. Meanwhile, the expressions of PGC-1α and NRF-1 protein and mRNA were increased in a dose-de-pendent manner. Conclusion ASIV could promote mitochondrial biosynthesis, improve energy metabolism in myocardial cells of type 1 diabetic rats by PGC-1αand NRF-1 .

Objective To explore the value of high frequency echocardiography to evaluate cardiac structure and function of rat with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The rat AMI model was established by ligating the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. The cardiac structure and function of model rats were examined with high frequency echocardiography in the 2nd and 8th week after ligation successfully. Another 20 healthy rat were selected as the sham operative group.Results The survival rat is 82.0% beyond 24 hours. At 2nd week, the model animals had an increased end-diastolic diameter (EDD), end-systolic diameter (ESD), end-diastolic volume (EDV), and further end-systolic volume (ESD), compared with the sham operative group. Ejection fraction (EF) and fraction shortening (FS) of model rats decreased. The ratio of E/A was higher. At 8th week, these parameters deteriorated left atrial diameter (LA) increased ( P<0.05). EF and FS were relevant to dp/dtmax.Conclusion High frequency echocardiography can evaluate left ventricle remodeling of rat dynamically.
