Objective To investegate the effect of phosphorylated-P38 MAPK(mitogen-activated protein kinase) on the expression of caspase-3 in the substania nigra (SN) of MPTP-induced mouse model of(PD). Methods Mice were randomly divided into MPTP model group, which were treated with MPTP and inhibitor group. Once a day for 5 days; control group was treated with saline and DMSO as much as the model group received per day for 5 days. The behavioral were observed, immunohistochemistry and Western blot for TH, caspase-3 and phosphorylation of P38 MAPK were used to observe the change of positive cell number and the expression level in the SN of midbrain. Results Compared with the mice in control group, the model group showed typical symtoms of PD with decreased numbers of TH-positive neurons and the protein level of TH in SN of the midbrain by about 60% and 65% respec-tively(P<0.01) , the numbers of caspase-3 and phosphorylation of P38 MAPK immunoreactive cells and their protein level in the SN of the midbrain increased markedly (P<0.01). After giving SB203580, the above changes were reduced obviously (P <0. 01). Conclusion In the mouse model of subacute Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP, phosphorylated-P38 MAPK regulated caspase-3 in the SN of midbrain, the specific P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 is neurologically oprotective to the mouse model.

PurposeTo explore the feasibility of personalized energy spectrum scanning in upper abdomen CT by comparing the image quality and radiation dose of optimizing choice spectrum scanning protocol with conventional 120 kVp scan.Material and Methods Sixty patients undergoing abdominal CT scan with and without contrast enhancement were prospectively collected and randomly assigned into two groups. Group A (30 patients) underwent conventional 120 kVp scan and spectral enhancement scanning; group B (30 patients) underwent spectrum scan and 120 kVp enhancement scanning. Spectral scanning protocol was based on individual choice with conventional 120 kVp NI10-5 mm average mAs scan for every patient. The CT dose index of volume (CTDIvol) and effective dose (ED) during non-contrast phase and portal venous phase were recorded. The CT value, standard deviation (SD), signal noise ratio (SNR) and contrast noise ratio (CNR) were measured in the liver parenchyma, spleen parenchyma and portal venous trunk.Results The CTDIvol and ED of spectrum scanning were less than 120 kVp scan but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). The SD of group B GSI imaging was less than group A 120 kVp (P<0.05), while the SNR was greater than group A. The SD of group A GSI portal venous phase in the liver, spleen and portal vein was less than group B 120 kVp (P<0.05).ConclusionThe optimized energy spectrum scanning protocol can reduce radiation dose with quality of single energy image from the energy spectrum equal to or better than the conventional 120 kVp scanning protocol. Personalized energy spectrum scan protocol provides multi-parameter diagnosis and multi-application platform and can be used routinely in the upper abdomen scan.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of spectral CT monochromatic imaging in improvement of imaging quality of bronchial arteries.Methods We retrospevtively analyzed the chest CT images in 38 patients who underwent the contrast-enhanced spectral CT.These images included a set of 140 kVp polychromatic images and default 70 keV monochromatic images.Using a standard Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI)viewer at an advanced workstation (AW4.6),an optimal energy level (in keV)for obtai-ning the best CNR of the bronchial artery could be automatically obtained.The SNR,CNR and objective imaging quality score for these 3 imaging sets (140 kVp,70 keV and optimal energy level)were obtained and compared with one-way ANOVA .Results The optimal energy levels for obtaining the best CNR were (62.58±2.74)keV.The SNR of the 140 kVp polychromatic images,70 keV monochromatic images,and the optimal keV monochromatic images were 1 6.44±5.85,20.96 ±8.32 and 24.91 ±9.91,the CNR were 13.30±5.45,1 7.25±6.97 and 20.67±8.62,and the subjective imaging quality scores were 1.97 ±0.82,3.24±0.75 and 4.47±0.60,respectively,exhibiting significant differences among groups (F =10.1 7,10.1 7 and 1 1 1.12,P <0.00).The optimal monochromatic group was superior to the 70 keV group and the 140 kVp mixed-energy group.Conclusion Monochromatic images at approximately 62 keV in dual-energy spectral CTA yields the best CNR and highest diagnostic confidence for imaging bronchial ar-teries,which may improve imaging quality for imaging bronchial arteries.
