However, both methods exhibit low sensitivity in the diagnosis of DAI lesions. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) in the clinical diagnosis of DAI, and to compare with T2-weighted images. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: This prospective study was based on imaging analysis, and was performed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (Chongqing, China) between October 2002 and April 2004. PARTICIPANTS: Sixty-three patients with craniocerebral injury were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, including 50 males and 13 females. The patients were included in the experiment and were divided into DAI (n=24) and non-DAI (n=39) groups, according to the emergent CT findings and clinical manifestations. METHODS: Both groups underwent MR examinations, including axial and sagittal T1 weighted images (TR = 450 ms, TE = 8-9 ms), T2-weighted images (TR = 3 600 ms, TE = 100 ms), and FLAIR (TR = 10 000 ms, TI = 2 500 ms, TE = 40 ms), 8-mm thick and 2-mm wide, using a GE Sigma MRI device. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The DAI diagnostic rate and lesion-detecting rate of T2-weighted images and FLAIR were determined. RESULTS: All 63 patients were included in the final analysis. The DAI diagnosis rates of FLAIR and T2-weighted images were 88% (21/24) and 62% (15/24), respectively, of which the difference was statistically significant (P 〈 0.05). T2-weighted images and FLAIR detected lesions located in the gray matter-white matter junction in parasagittal areas, the corpus callosum, deep periventricular white matter, basal ganglia, internal capsule, hippocampus, cerebellum, and brain stem, with a detailed amount of 123 and 256, respectively. FLAIR was significantly greater than T2-weighted images (P 〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: FLAIR is superior to T2-weighted images for improving the DAI diagnostic rate and lesion-detecting rate, as well as revealing the extent and severity of DAI.展开更多

OBJECTIVE: To observe and verify expressional changes of HSP70 and Tau in retinal ganglion cells following stretch injury to the right optic nerve in rats, and to determine the effect of heat stress pretreatment on HSP70 and Tau protein expressions. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Neurology Research Institute of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March to June 2006. MATERIALS: Instant SABC immunohistochemistry kit, as well as mouse anti-HSP70 and rabbit anti-Tau polyclonal antibodies, were purchased from Wuhan Boster Bioengineering Limited, China. METHODS: A total of 57 male, Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: control (n = 3); 150-180 g stretch force was induced in the right optic nerves in stretch-only group (n = 18) to establish optic nerve stretch injury model; heat stress was applied to 18 animals in heat-stress treatment group; 18 rats in the heat-stress pretreatment plus stretch group were subjected to identical stretch injury as stretch-only group after 24-hour heat-stress pretreatment. According to sacrifice time, the groups were assigned to 6 subgroups at different time points of 4, 8, and 16 hours, and 1,3, and 5 days, with 3 rats in each subgroup. No treatment was performed in the control group except anesthesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological changes of optic nerves and retinal ganglion cells following stretch injury were observed by light microscopy following hematoxylin-eosin staining. HSP70 and Tau protein expression levels were observed in retinal ganglial cells from each group using im munohistochemistry. RESULTS: (1) Compared with the control group, morphological axonal and retinal ganglial cell changes, as well as a decreased number of retinal ganglial cells, were identified in the stretch-only group (P 〈 0.01). Pathological damage in optical nerve and retinal ganglial cells were not remarkable in the heat-stress pretreatment plus stretch group, with no statistical difference in the number of retinal ganglial cells compared with the control group (P 〉 0.05). (2) Compared with the control group significantly increased HSP70 expression in retinal ganglial cells occurred in the stretch-only, heat-stress treatment, and heat-stress pretreatment plus stretch groups (P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01 ). The peak of HSP70 expression was earlier in the heat-stress pretreatment plus stretch group compared with the stretch-only and heat-stress treatment groups, and was expressed over a longer period of time compared with the heat-stress treatment group. Compared with the control group, Tau expression in the retinal ganglial cells rapidly increased 4-16 hours following stretch injury in the stretch-only group (P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01), and obviously decreased in the heat-stress pretreatment plus stretch group (P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01 ). CONCLUSION: Tau expression increased following stretch injury, with an earlier expression peak than HSP70, which indicated that stretch injury-induced HSP70 expression was not strong or quick enough to sufficiently protect the nerve. A much more enhanced HSP70 expression, with an earlier peak and longer expression period, was observed in rats subjected to stretch injury following heat stress, which demonstrated that HSP70 exhibited neuroprotective functions by reducing abnormal aggregation of Tau.展开更多

文摘In early brain injury(EBI)after subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH),white matter(WM)axonal injury plays a key role in the prognosis of the disease.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten(PTEN)on axonal injury and neuronal apoptosis post-SAH in rats and to find its underlying mechanism.Adeno-associated virus was injected into the lateral ventricle to suppress or promote PTEN.Neural function post-SAH in animals was determined by the modified Garcia score,beam balance,and Rotarod test,and the blood–brain barrier disruption was assessed by the brain water content.Axonal injury post-SAH was observed by TEM and determined by IF,and neuron apoptosis was measured by TUNEL staining.The mechanism was analyzed by Western blot to detect p-PTEN/PTEN,p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β,p-CRMP-2/CRMP-2,axonal injury markerβ-APP and pro-and anti-apoptosis proteins,including Bax and Bcl-2,expression.We found 1.After knocking down PTEN,neuronal apoptosis and axonal injury were alleviated,and nerve function and blood–brain barrier were protected;accordingly,after overexpression of PTEN,neuronal apoptosis and axon damage were aggravated,and nerve function damage and blood–brain barrier damage were increased.2.PTEN and AKT/GSK-3β/CRMP-2 pathway were jointly involved in regulating neuronal apoptosis and WM axon injury after SAH.According to our research,PTEN was a negative factor of EBI,and together with the AKT/GSK-3β/CRMP-2 signaling pathway aggravates neuronal apoptosis and WM axon damage after SAH.Inhibition of PTEN expression may become a new target for SAH treatment.
