Objective To solve the limitation of the wide-bound imaging from aortic arch to the bifurcation of internal and external carotid artery by changing 3D TOF MRA scan parameters, and discuss the clinical value of this technology in carotid artery angiography. Methods 108 patients with cerebrovascular disease were performed with carotid artery 3D TOF MRA. Images were performed under MIP, MPR and VR. The images of bilateral common carotid arteries, external and internal carotid artery, and vertebral artery were evaluated interactively by two independent radiologists blinded to results. Results 864 blood vessels were observed with 3D TOF MRA, including 672 normal clearly, 17 unclear, 17 congenital variants, 73 un -smooth lesion, 63 vascular stenosis, 9 vascular occlusion, 5 not display, 4 depressed downward, 4 vascular enlargement. Totally,unclear, variation and lesion blood vessels were 192. The results in combination with original image analysis could meet the need of diagonosis. Conclusion 3D TOF MRA as a noninvasive and non contrast agent imaging method can be used to select the carotid stenosis and is quite good in the value of application.

Objective To study clinical application of no phase wrap(NPW) technique in MRI. Methods 139 patients were selected and performed two sequences with and without no phase wrap in the same condition. The two kinds of images were compared. Results In the same parameter, phase wrap artifacts were seen in all images without the option of NPW. In the opposite, with the option of NPW, the artifacts disappeared. Conclusion NPW can avoid the Phase wrap artifacts .

Objective To discuss the value of Time-Resolved Imaging of Contrast Kinetics (TRICKS) in the diagnosis of lower extremity diseases. Methods 24 cases (27 times) with lower extremity, skeleton and blood vessel diseases undergoing TRICKS were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 cases with both lower extremities two -segment scan, 5 cases(6 times) with one-segment scan(thigh), and 5 cases (7 times) with one-segment scan(calf). Conventional sequences were performed followed by enhanced MR angiography with the TRICKS technique. Results The TRICKS images for all cases satisfied the vascular changes and structure demonstration in arteriovenous phase, and the full circulative process of those pathological vessels were observed. The diagnostic accuracy of TRICKS angiography has been validated. Conclusion The TRICKS provides a method for imaging the change of blood flow. The vascularity in the target vascular and tumor can also be obtained. Hence TRICKS provide important information in clinical decision making.

Objective To discuss the inspect technique and methods of magnetic resonance urography(MRU)in pediatric urinary system. Methods 16 cases with urinary system diseases were analyzed retrospectively,including axial routine FRFSE T2WI with fat saturation and three-dimensional MRU. The three-dimensional(3D) imaging data were sent to AW4.2 workstation,then edited and reconstructed with maximum intensity projection(MIP) and rebuilt. Results 12 cases in 16 cases were congenital abnormality by MRU diagnosis,3 cases were Urinary system diseases and 1 case was normal. 10 cases in 16 cases were performed with surgical intervention,6 cases with medical treatment,which clinical diagnosis were consistent with MRU. 16 cases were accepted examination with B -ultrasonic,6 cases CT and 9 cases IVP. Diagnose accordance rates with MRU were B-ultrasonic 93.7%(15/16),CT 66.7%(4/6),IVP 66.7%(6/9).Conclusion MRU is a safe,convincible and convenient technique,which can provide high quality imaging,so it will be a kind of non-injury imaging method in diagnosing the diseases of pediatric urinary system diseases.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread embedding in treating simple obesity and its effect on blood lipids and insulin.Method Eighty patients were randomized into a thread embedding group and an acupuncture group. The acupoint thread embedding was given once every week, while acupuncture was given six times a week, both for 8 weeks in total. The body weight, body mass index (BMI), chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, insulin and blood lipids were observed before and after intervention.Result After intervention, body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, fasting insulin level, blood lipids, and insulin resistance dropped significantly in both groups (P<0.05); there were no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint thread embedding can reduce body weight and three circumferences, and modulate glucose and lipid metabolisms, through which approaching weight loss in a healthy way.

The present study intended to provide some informations about the relationship between the supraependymal structures (SES) and the periventrieular neural tissue (PVNT), and with gross dissection and scanning electron microscopy the anterior medullary velum (AMV) was observed on 20 adult rabbits. The AMV may be divided into three portions: 1. the posterior membraneous wall of the recess of the inferior colliculus; 2. the anterior roof of the fourth ventricle; and 3. the transiional portion between the two portions mentioned above. On the ependymal surface of the entire AMV. There were numerous microvilli and cilia, except for the second portion of AMV, there were also some spherical-like structures, which were 2-6?m in diameter and had lace-like processes on its surface, and supraependymal cells(SEC) which were stellate, triangular, and spindle in shape. On the cellular surface with very few SEC, the secretory granules may be seen, which were 0.1-0.3?m in diameter. The SEC often extended out 2-5 processes, and the distal parts of which expanded into a flattened shovel-like structure, which lay on or inserted into the ependymal surface. The SEC here are similar to type Ⅱ SEC seen in the third and fourth ventricles, but they may differ significantly in structures on cellular surface, e.g. the secretory granules, and in shapes of their processes. Thus, it may suggest that the SEC here may play an intermediary role between PVNT and CSF, and be another route of neurohumoral modulation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of pixel 2 940 nm erbium laser combined with vitamin B12 in the treatment of acne sunken scar.Methods:From July 2017 to June 2019, 96 patients with acne sunken scar were treated in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the Second People's Hospital of Jiaozuo City, Henan Province. They were randomly divided into two groups with 48 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine therapy and the observation group was treated with pixel 2 940 nm erbium laser combined with vitamin B12. The therapeutic effects, acne scar weight score (ECCA), skin condition and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the control group was 77.08% (37/48), which was lower than that of the observation group 91.67% (44/48) ( P<0.05); The incidence of adverse reactions, pore and amethyst in ECCA score of the control group were (18.14±9.33), 18.75% (9/48), (32.25±8.41) and (18.24±5.12), which were higher than those of the observation group (26.45±12.60), 4.17% (2/48), (28.24±7.52) and (15.63±4.34) ( P<0.05), respectively. Conclusions:Pixel 2 940 nm erbium laser combined with vitamin B12 is effective in the treatment of acne sunken scar, with less adverse reactions and high safety. It is worthy of clinical application.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Traditional chemotherapy causes serious toxicity due to the wide bodily distribution of these drugs. Curcumin is a potential anticancer agent but its low water solubility, poor bioavailability and rapid metabolism significantly limits clinical applications. Here we developed a liposomal curcumin dry powder inhaler (LCD) for inhalation treatment of primary lung cancer. LCDs were obtained from curcumin liposomes after freeze-drying. The LCDs had a mass mean aerodynamic diameter of 5.81 μm and a fine particle fraction of 46.71%, suitable for pulmonary delivery. The uptake of curcumin liposomes by human lung cancer A549 cells was markedly greater and faster than that of free curcumin. The high cytotoxicity on A549 cells and the low cytotoxicity of curcumin liposomes on normal human bronchial BEAS-2B epithelial cells yielded a high selection index partly due to increased cell apoptosis. Curcumin powders, LCDs and gemcitabine were directly sprayed into the lungs of rats with lung cancer through the trachea. LCDs showed higher anticancer effects than the other two medications with regard to pathology and the expression of many cancer-related markers including VEGF, malondialdehyde, TNF-, caspase-3 and BCL-2. LCDs are a promising medication for inhalation treatment of lung cancer with high therapeutic efficiency.
