    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To evaluate the feasibility of quantifying liver choline concentrations in both normal and apoptotic rabbit livers in vivo,using 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).METHODS:1H-MRS was performed in 18 rabbits using a 1.5T GE MR system with an eight-channel head/neck receiving coil.Fifteen rabbits were injected with sodium selenite at a dose of 10 μmol/kg to induce the liver cell apoptosis.Point-resolved spectroscopy sequencelocalized spectra were obtained from 10 livers once before and once 24 h after sodium selenite injection in vivo.T1 and T2 relaxation time of water and choline was measured separately in the livers of three healthy rabbits and three selenite-treated rabbits.Hematoxylin and eosin and dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was used to detect and confirm apoptosis.Choline peak areas were measured relative to unsuppressed water using LCModel.Relaxation attenuation was corrected using the average of T1 and T2 relaxation time.The choline concentration was quantified using a formula,which was tested by a phantom with a known concentration.RESULTS:Apoptosis of hepatic cells was confirmed by TUNEL assay.In phantom experiment,the choline concentration (3.01 mmol/L),measured by 1H-MRS,was in good agreement with the actual concentration (3 mmol/L).The average T1 and T2 relaxation time of choline was 612 ± 15 ms and 74 ± 4 ms in the control group and 670 ± 27 ms and 78 ± 5 ms in apoptotic livers in vivo,respectively.Choline was quantified in 10 rabbits,once before and once after the injection with sodium selenite.The choline concentration decreased from 14.5 ± 7.57 mmol/L before sodium selenite injection to 10.8 ± 6.58 mmol/L (mean ± SD,n =10) after treatment (Z =-2.395,P < 0.05,two-sample paired Wilcoxon test).CONCLUSION:1H-MRS can be used to quantify liver choline in vivo using unsuppressed water as an internal reference.Decreased liver choline concentrations are found in sodium selenite-treated rabbits undergoing liver cell apoptosis.

    查看更多>>摘要:Beh(c)et's disease is characterized by recurrent oral ulcers,genital ulcers,uveitis and skin lesions.Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is characterized by problems due to ineffective hematopoiesis.Several studies have identified a relationship between MDS and Beh(c)et's disease,especially intestinal Beh(c)et's disease.Trisomy 8 seems to play an important role in these disorders as well.The present case was a 24-year-old woman who had a huge tonsil ulcer with initial symptoms of odynophagia and intermittent fever.We also noted folliculitis on her upper back.Five days later,she began to experience diarrhea and abdominal pain.Abdominal computed tomography and subsequent surgery revealed ileum perforation and enterocolitis with multiple ulcers.Later,she was admitted again for a vulvar suppurative ulcer and suspicious Bartholin's cyst infection.The patient's clinical presentations met the criteria for Beh(c)et's disease.Six months after the bowel perforation event,we noted the development of pancytopenia in a routine laboratory examination.All the examinations led to the diagnosis of MDS with trisomy 8.The most unusual finding was that multiple large vessel thrombi developed during follow-up.Previous studies have suggested that trisomy 8 in MDS leads to concurrent intestinal Beh(c)et's disease.Moreover,the inflammatory and immune genes related to thrombus formation are overexpressed in cases of MDS with trisomy 8.Trisomy 8 must play a role in thrombosis.Further studies are needed to help clarify the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of these disorders.
