Article: Fetal Cerebral Lobes Development between 20 and 28 weeks gestational age: A Postmortem MR Study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the fetal cerebral lobes development between 20 and 28 weeks gestational age, 36 fetus specimen without CNS abnormality, with 4 fetuses in each gestation week, were scanned with 3.0T MR. Lobular parameters were measured, including the parenchyma thickness of the frontoparietal and the temporal lobes, the margin length of frontoparietal, the insula and the temporal lobes, the Sylvian fissure and the perimeter of hippocampus, on the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of hippocampus body across the base of cerebral peduncle. The relative value of parenchyma thickness and the lobes' length ratios to the same side hemisphere were calculated and their correlation with gestational weeks was analyzed. All measured parameters were positively correlated with gestational age. No significant tendency was found for relative value of the parenchyma thickness (P>0.05). The temporal lobe length ratio increased while the frontoparietal ratio decreased before 24 weeks GA and then the two reversed. The Sylvian fissure length ratio increased (P<0.001) and the hippocampus decreased (P<0.001) throughout this period. In conclusion, the early fetal cerebrum lobes developed asynchronously during this period, the 24 weeks GA could be a turning point for cerebrum development pattern changing from primitive to mature.International journal of developmental neuroscience: the official journal of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience 09/2013; · 2.03 Impact Factor
Article: Parkinson's disease: in vivo metabolic changes in the frontal and parietal cortices in 6-OHDA treated rats during different periods.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract This study aims to investigate metabolic changes in frontal and parietal cortices in the 6-OHDA induced Parkinson's rats. Ratios of N-acetyl-aspartic acid / creatine (NAA/Cr), choline / creatine (Cho/Cr), and glumatic acid and glutamine glutaminic acid /creatine(Glx/Cr) of regions of interests (ROIs) in the frontal and parietal cortices, and the substantia nigra were analyzed. NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr and Glx/Cr in the frontal and parietal cortices in the lesion side did not show any significant differences 2 weeks after operation compared with the contralateral side (p>0.05). NAA/Cr in the frontal cortex in the lesion side was significantly lower in the 5 weeks after operation; Cho/Cr remained normal; Glx/Cr increased (p<0.05), and all ratios of parietal cortex were normal. In the 8 weeks after operation, NAA/Cr in the frontal cortex in the lesion side was lower than that of the 5 weeks (p<0.01); Cho/Cr still remained normal, while Glx/Cr was higher than before (p<0.01). Regarding the parietal cortex, NAA/Cr increased significantly, while Cho/ Cr and Glx/Cr remained normal. In the 12 weeks after operation, NAA/Cr, Cho/ Cr and Glx/Cr in frontal cortex were consistent with that of the 8 weeks, while they remained at the normal level in parietal cortex. The NAA/Cr in the substantia nigra decreased and Cho/Cr increased significantly during 2-8 weeks, and remained at the same level during 8-12 weeks. There are metabolic disturbances in PD rats. The transient hyperfunction in the parietal cortex can be considered as a compensation for the dysfunction of the frontal cortex and substantia nigra.The International journal of neuroscience 08/2013; · 0.86 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: During the second trimester, the human fetal brain undergoes numerous changes that lead to substantial variation in the neonatal in terms of its morphology and tissue types. As fetal MRI is more and more widely used for studying the human brain development during this period, a spatiotemporal atlas becomes necessary for characterizing the dynamic structural changes. In this study, 34 postmortem human fetal brains with gestational ages ranging from 15 to 22weeks were scanned using 7.0T MR. We used automated morphometrics, tensor-based morphometry and surface modeling techniques to analyze the data. Spatiotemporal atlases of each week and the overall atlas covering the whole period with high resolution and contrast were created. These atlases were used for the analysis of age-specific shape changes during this period, including development of the cerebral wall, lateral ventricles, Sylvian fissure, and growth direction based on local surface measurements. Our findings indicate that growth of the subplate zone is especially striking and is the main cause for the lamination pattern changes. Changes in the cortex around Sylvian fissure demonstrate that cortical growth may be one of mechanisms for gyration. Surface deformation mapping, revealed by local shape analysis, indicates that there is global anterior-posterior growth pattern, with frontal and temporal lobes developing relatively quickly during this period. Our results are valuable for understanding the normal brain development trajectories and anatomical characteristics. These week-by-week fetal brain atlases can be used as reference in in vivo studies, and may facilitate the quantification of fetal brain development across space and time.NeuroImage 05/2013; · 6.25 Impact Factor
Article: Diffusion-Weighted MR Neurography of Extremity Nerves With Unidirectional Motion-Probing Gradients at 3 T: Feasibility Study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to show the feasibility and performance of diffusion-weighted MR neurography (MRN) of extremity nerves with unidirectional motion-probing gradients at 3 T. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Forty-seven healthy volunteers and 10 patients underwent diffusion-weighted MRN of extremity nerves with unidirectional motion-probing gradients (anterior-posterior direction only) on a 3-T unit. Images were displayed using a maximum-intensity-projection technique. Two radiologists blindly and independently evaluated the imaging quality of extremity nerves on diffusion-weighted MRN images using a 4-point grading scale, with 4 indicating excellent quality and 1 indicating poor quality, and evaluated the relation of the lesion to adjacent nerves in patients. RESULTS. In volunteers, the long trajectories of major extremity nerves, including the radial, median, ulnar, sciatic, tibial, and common peroneal nerves, could be visualized 3D on diffusion-weighted MRN images. The mean imaging quality scores of all nerves for observers 1 and 2 were 3.68 ± 0.70 (SD) and 3.70 ± 0.66, respectively. Interobserver agreement was good (κ = 0.774). In patients, there was no discrepancy in imaging quality scores between observers. Scores of all nerves were 2-4 except in two patients with neurofibromatosis and one patient who underwent imaging soon after surgery. The extent of the lesions and the relationship of the lesions to the adjacent nerves were clearly depicted on diffusion-weighted MRN images of all patients. CONCLUSION. This preliminary study shows that 3-T diffusion-weighted MRN with unidirectional motion-probing gradients is feasible for 3D visualization of major extremity nerves. Diffusion-weighted MRN may enable nerve depiction and allow assessment of the anatomic relationship between lesions with diffusion restriction and adjacent nerves.American Journal of Roentgenology 05/2013; 200(5):1106-14. · 2.90 Impact Factor
Article: Fetal Adrenal Gland in the Second Half of Gestation: Morphometrical Assessment with 3.0T Post-Mortem MRI.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The morphometry of fetal adrenal gland is rarely described with MRI of high magnetic field. The purpose of this study is to assess the normal fetal adrenal gland length (AL), width (AW), height (AH), surface area (AS) and volume (AV) in the second half of gestation with 3.0T post-mortem MRI. Fifty-two fetal specimens of 23-40 weeks gestational age (GA) were scanned by 3.0T MRI. Morphological changes and quantitative measurements of the fetal adrenal gland were analyzed. Asymmetry and sexual dimorphism were also obtained. The shape of the fetal adrenal gland did not change substantially from 23 to 40 weeks GA. The bilateral adrenal glands appeared as a 'Y', pyramidal or half-moon shape after reconstruction. There was a highly linear correlation between AL, AW, AH, AS, AV and GA. AW, AH, AS and AV were larger for the left adrenal gland than the right. No sexual dimorphism was found. Our data delineated the normal fetal adrenal gland during the second half of gestation, and can serve as a useful precise reference for anatomy or in vivo fetus.PLoS ONE 01/2013; 8(10):e75511. · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Development of the subcortical brain structures in the second trimester: assessment with 7.0-T MRI.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study aims to obtain the signal intensity changes and quantitative measurements of the subcortical brain structures of 12-22 weeks gestational age (GA). Sixty-nine fetal specimens were selected and scanned by 7.0-T MR. The signal intensity changes of the subcortical brain structures were analyzed. The three-dimensional visualization models of the germinal matrix, caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, and dorsal thalamus were rebuilt with Amira 4.1, and the developmental trends between the measurements and GA were analyzed. The germinal matrix was delineated on 7.0-T MR images at 12 weeks GA, with high signals on T1-weighted images (WI). While at 16 weeks GA, the caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, and internal and external capsules could be distinguished. The caudate nucleus was high signal intensity on T1WI. The signal intensity of the putamen was high on T1WI during 15-17 weeks GA and was delineated as an area with uneven signal intensities. The signal intensity of the peripheral area of the putamen became higher after 18 weeks GA. The signal intensity of the globus pallidus was high on T1WI and low on T2WI after 20 weeks GA. At 18 weeks GA, the claustrum was delineated with low signals on T2WI. Measurements of the germinal matrix, caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, and dorsal thalamus linearly increased with the GA. Development of the subcortical brain structures during 12-22 weeks GA could be displayed with 7.0-T MRI. The measurement provides significant reference beneficial to the clinical evaluation of fetal brain development.Neuroradiology 07/2012; 54(10):1153-9. · 2.70 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Compound diphenoxylate (diphenoxylate-atropine) poisoning can cause toxic encephalopathy in children, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in this condition has not been reported. This study is to analyze brain MRI findings and to investigate the relations between MRI features and possible pathophysiological changes in children. Six children accidentally swallowed compound diphenoxylate, 4 males, 2 females, aged 20-46 months, average 33 months. Quantity of ingested diphenoxylate-atropine was from 6 to 30 tablets, each tablet contains diphenoxylate 2.5mg and atropine 0.025 mg. These patients were referred to our hospital within 24h after diphenoxylate-atropine ingestion, and underwent brain MRI scan within 24-72 h after emergency treatment. The characteristics of conventional MRI were analyzed. These pediatric patients had various symptoms of opioid intoxication and atropine toxicity. Brain MRI showed abnormal low signal intensity on T1-weighted images (T1WI) and abnormal high signal intensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging in bilateral in all cases; abnormal high signal intensity on T1WI, T2WI and FLAIR in 4 cases. Encephalomalacia was observed in 3 cases during follow-up. In the early stage of compound diphenoxylate poisoning in children, multiple extensive edema-necrosis and hemorrhagic-necrosis focus were observed in basic nucleus, pallium and cerebellum, these resulted in the corresponding brain dysfunction with encephalomalacia. MRI scan in the early stage in this condition may provide evidences of brain impairment, and is beneficial for the early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment.European journal of radiology 09/2011; 79(3):432-6. · 2.65 Impact Factor
Article: Development of the human fetal cerebellum in the second trimester: a post mortem magnetic resonance imaging evaluation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The cerebellum is one of the most important structures in the posterior cranial fossa, but the characterization of its development by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is incomplete. We scanned 40 fetuses that had no morphological brain disorder at 14-22 weeks of gestation using 7.0 T MRI. Amira 4.1 software was used to determine morphological parameters of the fetal cerebellum, which included the cerebellar volume (CV), transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD), and the length and width of the vermis. The relationship between these measurements and gestational age (GA) was analysed. We found that the primary fissure was visible at week 14 of gestation. From week 16, the prepyramidal fissure, the secondary fissure and the dentate nucleus could be identified. The posterolateral fissure and the fourth ventricle were recognized at week 17, whereas the tentorium of the cerebellum was visible at week 20. The relationships between GA and CV, TCD, and the width and length of the vermis were described adequately by second-order polynomial regression curves. The ratios between TCD and vermis length and between TCD and vermis width decreased with GA. These results show that 7.0 T MRI can show the trajectory of cerebellar development clearly. They increase our understanding of normal cerebellar development in the fetus, and will facilitate the diagnosis of pathological intrauterine changes in the cerebellum.Journal of Anatomy 08/2011; 219(5):582-8. · 2.36 Impact Factor
Article: Measurements using 7.0 T post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging of the scalar dimensions of the fetal brain between 12 and 20 weeks gestational age.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, scalar values for the fetal brain from 12 to 20 weeks gestational age were obtained. Fifty-two fetal specimens of 12-20 weeks gestational age with an anatomically normal and developmentally appropriate central nervous system (CNS) were scanned using a 7.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The linear biometric measurements of the brain were then determined. All the measurements (except for the interhemispheric distance) were found to increase linearly with gestational age, although each increased at a different growth rates. The 95% confidence interval for each value was obtained. These data may be considered to be a valuable reference for the assessment of normal fetal brain development in clinical settings and as a supplement to post-mortem MRI or anatomical investigations.International journal of developmental neuroscience: the official journal of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience 07/2011; 29(8):885-9. · 2.03 Impact Factor
Article: Development of fetal brain of 20 weeks gestational age: assessment with post-mortem Magnetic Resonance Imaging.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The 20th week gestational age (GA) is at mid-gestation and corresponds to the age at which the termination of pregnancy in several countries and the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be performed, and at which the premature babies may survive. However, at present, very little is known about the exact anatomical character at this GA. To delineate the developing fetal brain of 20 weeks GA and obtain the three dimensional visualization model. 20 fetal specimens were scanned by 3.0 T and 7.0 T post-mortem MRI, and the three dimensional visualization model was obtained with Amira 4.1. Most of the sulci or their anlage, except the postcentral sulcus and intraparietal sulcus, were present. The laminar organization, described as layers with different signal intensities, was most clearly distinguished at the parieto-occipital lobe and peripheral regions of the hippocampus. The basal nuclei could be clearly visualized, and the brain stem and cerebellum had formed their common shape. On the visualization model, the shape and relative relationship of the structures could be appropriately delineated. The ranges of normal values of the brain structures were obtained, but no sexual dimorphisms or cerebral asymmetries were found. The developing fetal brain of 20 weeks GA can be clearly delineated on 3.0 T and 7.0 T post-mortem MRIs, and the three dimensional visualization model supplies great help in precise cognition of the immature brain. These results may have positive influences on the evaluation of the fetal brain in the uterus.European journal of radiology 12/2010; 80(3):e432-9. · 2.65 Impact Factor
Article: Development of laminar organization of the fetal cerebrum at 3.0T and 7.0T: a postmortem MRI study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to show the condition of laminar organization on 3.0T and 7.0T postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and analyze developmental changes. Heads of 131 fetal specimens of 14-40 weeks gestational age (GA) were scanned by 3.0T MRI. Eleven fetal specimens of 14-27 weeks GA were scanned by 7.0T MRI. Clear images were chosen for analysis. On T₁-weighted 3.0T MRI, layers could be visualized at 14 weeks GA and appeared clearer after 18 weeks GA. On 7.0T MRI, four zones could be recognized at 14 weeks GA. During 15-22 weeks GA, when laminar organization appeared typical, seven layers including the periventricular zone and external capsule fibers could be differentiated, which corresponded to seven zones in histological stained sections. At 23-28 weeks GA, laminar organization appeared less typical, and borderlines among them appeared obscured. After 30 weeks GA, it disappeared and turned into mature-like structures. The developing lamination appeared the most distinguishable at the parieto-occipital part of brain and peripheral regions of the hippocampus. The migrating thalamocortical afferents were probably delineated as a high signal layer located at the lower, middle, and upper part of the subplate zone at 16-28 weeks GA on T₁-weighted 3.0T MRI. T₁-weighted 3.0T MRI and T₂-weighted 7.0T MRI can well demonstrate the laminar organization. Development of the lamination follows a specific spatio-temporal regularity, and postmortem MRI of the parieto-occipital part of brain obtained with 3.0T or 7.0T is an effective way to show developmental changes.Neuroradiology 10/2010; 53(3):177-84. · 2.70 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Structural sexual dimorphism and asymmetry in human cerebellum have been described in previous research, but results remain inconclusive or even conflicting. In this study, gender differences and hemispheric asymmetries in global and regional human cerebellum gray matter (GM) were estimated in an age-matched sample (n=112) of young Chinese adults. An optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM) in spatial unbiased infratentorial template (SUIT) space together with an automated atlas-based volumetric approach were performed for mapping regional gray matter (GM) gender-related differences across the entire cerebellum. The two methods provided consistent findings on gender differences. The cerebellar GM volume was significantly larger in the anterior and middle posterior lobes of male group. In addition, a trend of greater GM volume in lateral posterior lobe of female group was observed. With the created symmetric cerebellar template, the asymmetric properties of cerebellar hemisphere were also assessed by VBM analysis, showing rightward asymmetry distributed in most cerebellar lobules and leftwards asymmetry distributed in the lobules around the medial posterior lobe. Gender differences in males showed higher leftward asymmetry sparsely within a few lobules and lower rightward asymmetry mainly within lobule Crus II, as compared with females. The acquired detailed morphologic knowledge of normal human cerebellum could establish a baseline for comparison with pathologic changes in the cerebellum. Moreover, our results might help to address controversies in thestudy of sexual dimorphisms and asymmetric patterns in human cerebellum.Brain research 09/2010; 1353:60-73. · 2.46 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: In recent years, investigations of the pathologic mechanism of Parkinson's disease (PD) have mainly concentrated on the basal ganglia. However, recent studies have confirmed that pathological changes in PD are accompanied by functional motor changes of the cerebral cortex. Rats were injected with 6-hydroxydopamine and ascorbic acid in the right substantia nigra. In this rat model of PD, magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed the ratio of N-acetyl-aspartic acid to creatine in a lesion in the right frontal cortex was significantly lower than the same ratio in a control group of rats. The ratio of choline to creatine in a lesion in the right frontal cortex was not significantly different between the PD-model rats and control rats. In addition, the optical densities of neurofilament protein and synaptophysin positive sites decreased significantly on the side of the brain with the injury compared with the side without the injury, and with both sides in the control rats. The density of synapses in the frontal cortex on the lesioned side was decreased compared with the unlesioned side. There were abnormal changes in the presynaptic membrane, postsynaptic membrane and synaptic vesicles, and the typical synaptic structure was no longer apparent on the lesioned side. We hypothesized loss of neurons and synapses, abnormal synaptic structure and neuron and synaptic dysfunction of the frontal cortex with a lesion in the injury side of the frontal cortex in PD-model rats. These changes might have an important role in the pathologic mechanism of PD.Journal of Clinical Neuroscience 05/2010; 17(5):628-33. · 1.25 Impact Factor
Article: Development of fetal cerebral cortex: assessment of the folding conditions with post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Quantitative data of fetal cortical folding and its developmental changes supply important information in the estimation of fetal age and assessment of brain maturation, so the increasing tendencies of cortical growth and its folding conditions at the beginning of the second and third trimesters with post-mortem Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were analyzed. 131 fetal specimens of 14-40 weeks gestational age (GA) were selected and scanned with 3.0 T MR. Then the length of folded cortical margin (LFCM) and length of unfolded cortical margin (LUCM) were measured by Photoshop and ZoomMagic software. Degrees of cortical folding (DCF) were calculated by means of (LFCM-LUCM)/LFCM. Growth curves were obtained between the 3 above values and GA, and significant differences in age stages, hemispheres and genders were analyzed. The relationship between LFCM in centimeters, DCF and GA in weeks was described by two exponential growth curves [LFCM=5.325 exp(0.079GA); DCF=11.890 exp(0.043GA)]. The curves increased rapidly after 26 weeks GA, which could be recognized as a cut-off point of fetal cortical and sulcal development. LUCM and GA were described by a logarithmic growth curve which slowed down after 26 weeks GA [LUCM=30.580 Ln(GA)-72.490]. Significant differences of the 3 values before and after 26 weeks GA (p<0.01), but not any in hemispheres and genders were noticed. These results, which may be valuable in assessing normal brain development and can serve as a model in clinical settings, indicate that the cerebral volume first increases and is then followed by increases of the surface area.International journal of developmental neuroscience: the official journal of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience 05/2010; 28(6):537-43. · 2.03 Impact Factor
Article: Cerebral glucose metabolism: Influence on perihematomal edema formation after intracerebral hemorrhage in cat models.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Most intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) imaging studies focus on structural brain changes. Stereotactic neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) are helpful in the diagnosis of ICH, monitoring the subsequent recovery and investigating its functional mechanisms. To explore the influence of the changes in cerebral glucose metabolism on perihematomal edema formation in an experimental cat model of ICH. Forty-eight cats were divided into 1 sham operation group (6 cats) and 7 ICH model groups (42 cats)". The ICH model groups were injected with 1.0 ml autologous nonheparinized blood into their thalami using accurate stereotactic guidance apparatus. MRI and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans were acquired at 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 120 h following the intervention. Pearson's correlation test was used to evaluate the association between T2-weighted signal intensity and the edema volume. Student's t test and q test were used to identify the times of significant temporal changes. The volume of perilesional edema did not significantly increase from 2 h to 12 h after ICH, but then increased by 229.4% at 24 h, peaked (by 273.5%), and steadily decreased by 72 h. The FDG intensity in perihematomal edema tissues was markedly reduced 2 h after ICH on PET images, reached its lowest level at 12 h, and then steadily increased at 24 h and 48 h. The changes of standard absorption value (SUV) in perihematomal edema were consistent with those of FDG intensity. Perihematomal glucose metabolism abnormalities have a close relationship with the formation of vasogenic edema. Furthermore, abnormal glucose metabolism may impair capillary integrity and increase blood-brain barrier permeability.Acta Radiologica 03/2010; 51(5):549-54. · 1.33 Impact Factor
Article: The construction of a Chinese MRI brain atlas: a morphometric comparison study between Chinese and Caucasian cohorts.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We developed a novel brain atlas template to facilitate computational brain studies of Chinese subjects and populations using high quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and well-validated image analysis techniques. To explore the ethnicity-based structural brain differences, we used the MRI scans of 35 Chinese male subjects (24.03+/-2.06 years) and compared them to an age-matched cohort of 35 Caucasian males (24.03+/-2.06 years). Global volumetric measures were used to identify significant group differences in the brain length, width, height and AC-PC line distance. Using the LONI BrainParser, 56 brain structures were automatically labeled and analyzed for all subjects. We identified significant ethnicity differences in brain structure volumes, suggesting that a population-specific brain atlas may be more appropriate for studies involving Chinese populations. To address this, we constructed a 3D Chinese brain atlas based on high resolution 3.0T MRI scans of 56 right-handed male Chinese volunteers (24.46+/-1.81 years). All Chinese brains were spatially normalized by using linear and nonlinear transformation via the "AIR Make Atlas" pipeline workflow within the LONI pipeline environment. This high-resolution Chinese brain atlas was compared to the ICBM152 template, which was constructed using Caucasian brains.NeuroImage 02/2010; 51(1):33-41. · 6.25 Impact Factor
Article: Parkinson's disease: functional changes in frontal and parietal cortex using 18 F- fluoro-deoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In Parkinson's disease (PD) there is increasing evidence to suggest motor function changes of the cerebral cortex occur in addition to the pathological changes in the extrapyramidal system. To explore the functional changes in the frontal and parietal cortex in PD cat model. Twenty-four healthy male cats were divided into four animal model groups with the injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), and one control group. Cats in both the animal model and control groups were observed for the behavioral changes. They were also examined by 18 F-fluoro-deoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT). Region of Interest (ROI) was determined by 18 F-FDG intensity and semi-quantitative analysis was employed after detecting the standard absorption value (SUV). Statistical Analysis : Statistical significance was evaluated by ANOVA. Compared to control group, the 18 F-FDG intensity and SUV were found normal on both the sides of frontal and parietal cortex in the PD models on the second day (P > 0.05), and on the fifth day, they were reduced significantly on both the sides of frontal cortex exclusively (P < 0.05). Moreover on the eighth day, the SUV of both frontal cortexes was reduced, while it was increased in both parietal cortex (P < 0.05). Finally on the eleventh day, the SUV remained stable in both the frontal cortex, and was back to normal level in both the parietal cortex. Functional disorders exist in the frontal cortex of PD animals and aggravate with time. Transient functional enhancement in the parietal cortex of PD cats might be a compensation for the dysfunction of frontal cortex.Neurology India 01/2010; 58(1):53-7. · 1.04 Impact Factor
Article: The pineal volume: a three-dimensional volumetric study in healthy young adults using 3.0 T MR data.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is usually difficult to distinguish small pineal tumors via routine or enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) scan. The knowledge of normal pineal size is helpful to detect small pineal lesions, while very few true volumetric data of pineal glands have been reported. Therefore, we obtained the accurate reference range of normal pineal volumes in 112 individuals aged 20-30 years recruited randomly from a healthy community sample. Transverse and sagittal 3.0T magnetic resonance data were obtained using three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted FSPGR and T2-weighted SE sequences. True pineal volumes were measured from T1-weighted images, while estimated volumes were calculated using pineal length, width and height. All the glands were divided into three types according to the maximum inner diameter of pineal cysts. The prevalence of asymptomatic pineal cyst is 25.00%, with a slight female predominance. In the whole sample, we found no gender differences of pineal volume, but a significant gender difference of pineal volume index. A significant correlation between pineal volume and asymptomatic cyst was found. After excluding cases with big pineal cysts, there were significant correlations between pineal volume and head circumference, body height and body weight, respectively. This study suggests that asymptomatic pineal cysts may exert an important influence on pineal volume.International journal of developmental neuroscience: the official journal of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience 09/2009; 27(7):655-60. · 2.03 Impact Factor
Article: Anatomical features of the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve: neurovascular relationships and abnormal compression on magnetic resonance imaging.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The object of this study was to assess the detailed anatomical features and vascular relationships of the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve, and to assess the utility of MR imaging in oculomotor nerve palsy caused by abnormal compression related to arteries and tumors. The anatomy of the oculomotor nerve was depicted using 3D Fourier transformation constructive interference in steady-state (CISS) MR imaging in 196 volunteers (392 total nerves), in 9 patients with paralysis of the oculomotor nerve, and in 1 preoperative patient with cholesteatoma in the pontine cistern. The vessels adjacent to the oculomotor nerve were detected and compared using 3D time-of-flight MR imaging. The 3D CISS multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images of the oculomotor nerve in cadavers and in specimens from the cadavers were used to verify the oculomotor nerve shown in the 196 patients. The images were assessed with respect to the demonstration of the oculomotor nerve, the optimal display angles on MPR images, the visualized length of the nerve, neurovascular relationships, and abnormal compression caused by arteries and tumors. Three-dimensional CISS MR imaging depicted the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve with certainty in 100% of the patients in the transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes. Three-dimensional CISS imaging of the oculomotor nerve in 196 volunteers revealed similar results corresponding to 3D CISS MPR images of cadavers and cadaver specimens. The maximum visualized length of the oculomotor nerve was 14.61 +/- 2.33 mm. The angle between the oculomotor nerve and the median sagittal plane was 24.48 +/- 4.57 degrees on the left and 24.48 +/- 5.07 degrees on the right. The posterior cerebral artery was observed to contact the oculomotor nerve in 216 (55.1%) of 392 nerves, and the superior cerebellar artery was observed to contact the oculomotor nerve in 231 (58.9%) of 392 nerves. The abnormal nerve compression in 9 patients with paralysis of the oculomotor nerve was displayed well in all patients. The adjacent relationship of the oculomotor nerve in 1 preoperative patient with cholesteatoma in the pontine cistern was also demonstrated clearly. Use of 3D CISS sequences and 3D time-of-flight sequences enables accurate identification of the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve, neurovascular relationships, and abnormal compression caused by arteries and tumors.Journal of Neurosurgery 04/2009; 111(6):1193-200. · 3.15 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Assessment of Brain Parenchyma Damage in Neonates with Hypoxic Ischemic Injury Using Quantitative Diffusion Tensor MR Imaging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE To determine the altered pattern of FA and ADC change in in serially studied neonates with mild, moderate or severe hypoxic ischemic injury (HIE) METHOD AND MATERIALS The study included 20 normal babies as age/sex-matched control and 30 babies (32 term neonates) who were diagnosed with mild (n = 8), moderate (n = 7) and severe( n=5) HIE within 7 days after birth and again at the age of three month with conventional and serial diffusion tensor cerebral MR imaging. Neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed at the time of the 2nd study. RESULTS On comparing FA and ADC changes over time using two-way analysis of variance between neonates with HIE and controls, we observed significant differences in age-related FA increase (p < 0.05) in anterior limb of internal capsule and periventricular white matter of parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. Significant differences in age-related ADC decrease (p < 0.05) was observed in the caudate nuclei, and temporal white matter among these groups. Significant positive correlation was observed between neurodevelopmental outcome and FA. There was significant difference between conventional MR imaging and DTI in detecting sequelae at the end of three month. CONCLUSION the results suggest that abnormal FA and ADC values help in early and more accurate assessment of microstructural damage in HIE that may have predictive value for long-term neurofunctional outcome in these neonates.DTI is superior to other imaging modalities in detecting sequelae. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/APPLICATION Diffusion tensor imaging may have predictive value for long-term neurofunctional outcome in these neonates, which was a useful tool for predicting the individual outcomes of neonates with HIE.Radiological Society of North America 2007 Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting; 11/2007

Sample Report
"From Clouet to Seurat: French Drawings from The British Museum" is a survey show arranged chronologically. Major works and lesser ones jostle for attention. Some key artists are represented by more than one work; others by only a sketch. But the pleasures are many. And lesser-knowns sometimes contribute surprisingly first-rate performances.

Here is a video by the Bing interns explaining how to participate:
If you don't want to watch it, all you need to do is submit your video by July 31,2009. Make sure to tag your video "BingJingle" and you should automatically be included. There are of course many legal conditions, so read the full details before making your Jingle.

New York
hi ,in december I go to new York for shopping :
Ther is a people live in Ny give me a name or andress for chip hotel or appartaments?
Thank's pier
try priceline.com
Try the "Belleclaire" on 77th St (Upper West Side), or "West End Studios" in the area too. You could also check out a couple of new hotels in Long Island City in Queens (one stop on the 7 train from Manhattan) I've seen a "La Quinta Inn" and a "Comfort Inn" about a block away from the train stop. Long Island City is an industrial area but you are only one stop (5 minutes) from Grand Central station. I used to live close by and the area isn't that bad. Good luck!
very thank's

With the onset of the holiday season, it is time to begin thinking about how we are going to spend both our precious time and money to ensure that we make the most of the spirit of the season.
In my own household, things are a bit up in the air. Although our tradition is not to exchange gifts, spending quality time with each other is most definitely a tradition. Rain or shine (which is very rare in Western Washington this time of year), we take a walk along the beautiful shoreline of San Juan Island and spend hours in front of the fire reading, playing board games, and sipping good wine.. . .

Conway voters poised to make tax cap history
On Tuesday, a representative of the New Hampshire Department of Revenue's Municipal Services Division said she had no information about any town adopting RSA 32:5-b Local Tax Cap, yet, nor was she aware of which other towns are also weighing the measure.
To be adopted in Conway, the tax caps require a three-fifths majority of votes cast.
On Tuesday evening, the Conway School Board joined the Conway Board of Selectman in voting unanimously against the caps; the Budget Committee supported the caps by a vote of 11 in favor, six opposed.
On behalf of the selectmen, Sires said the five-member board was generally concerned that the cap would impose "an arbitrary number on the town budget which needs to respond annually to different challenges and that it would reduce the flexibility the town will have in addressing both the range of services and the level of service that we're offering."
Dick Klement, a member of the Conway Budget Committee, said he and the majority of his colleagues felt that the town needs to do something to get spending under control.
"This is not just a Conway issue," he said on Monday, "I think this is a national issue. We have gotten used to printing more money than we have."
For Conway, he said a cap "is unnecessary, unconstitutional, short-sighted and dangerous."
"There's some question as to whether we have met the law regarding the posting of a petitioned article," Hounsell said, pointing out that while the cap petitions were submitted on Feb. 11, the town and school district were required to have a public hearing on them, and other petitioned articles, by Feb. 7.
"Currently, we have $1.4 billion of value in Conway and every time that drops, that raises the tax rate," he said, adding that even without making any cap-related changes to future school and/or town budgets, "We could be at a place where we can't increase anything. We'd be at a place where we'd have to cut."

- Predictive factors of silent reflux in subjects with erosive esophagitis. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dig Liver Dis 2014 Oct 9.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Asymptomatic erosive esophagitis by definition is a condition lacking any reflux symptom.We aimed to investigate the prevalence of asymptomatic erosive esophagitis in a general population undergoing periodic health checkup.Consecutive subjects undergoing a medical checkup were enrolled for evaluation of reflux disease with upper endoscopy and a validated reflux questionnaire. The presence and severity of erosive esophagitis were evaluated. In all subjects, demographic characteristics and biochemical data were recorded, and sleep and psychological characteristics were assessed by means of self-administered Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire score, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory score.Of 2568 subjects eligible for this study, erosive esophagitis was found in 676 subjects (26.3%), in whom the proportions of asymptomatic and symptomatic erosive esophagitis were 59.2% (400 subjects) and 40.8% (276 subjects) respectively. At a univariate analysis, it was found that asymptomatic erosive esophagitis subjects were more frequently of female gender, of older age, with a lower level of education. They also showed less alcohol and tea consumption, less depression, less anxiety, lower serum level of triglyceride, and lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Multivariate analysis revealed that female sex (OR=1.645, p=0.0146) was a positive predictive factor for asymptomatic erosive esophagitis, whereas higher level of education (OR=0.564, p=0.044), higher Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire score (OR=0.922, p<0.001), and the presence of metabolic syndrome (OR=0.625, p=0.0379) were negative predictive factors.Asymptomatic erosive esophagitis is a common feature in otherwise healthy subjects and is independently associated with female gender, lower education level, less depression, and lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

- Transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt is a risk factor for liver dysplasia but not hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective study of explanted livers. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dig Liver Dis 2014 Oct 9.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Conflicting data exist regarding the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma after transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) insertion in cirrhotic patients.We retrospectively analysed histopathological data from 214 patients who were transplanted in our Institution including 68 patients who underwent TIPS placement before transplantation. Pathological lesions from explanted livers, including incidental hepatocellular carcinoma, small cell dysplasia and large cell dysplasia were recorded.Pathological lesions were found in 36.4% of explanted livers. TIPS insertion was an independent risk factor for pathological lesion (HR=2.11, p<0.05), concurrently with age (HR=1.10 per year, p<0.001) and viral aetiology of cirrhosis (HR=3.05, p<0.001). When considering the different type of lesions, TIPS insertion was not associated with an increased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma but was an independent risk factor for liver dysplasia (HR=2.15, p=0.042).Although a direct relationship between TIPS insertion and hepatocellular carcinoma risk was not demonstrated in this study, the increased frequency of liver dysplasia observed in TIPS-bearing explanted livers deserves further prospective investigations with adequate follow-up.
- Improved 5-year survival of patients with immunochemical faecal blood test-screen-detected colorectal cancer versus non-screening cancers in northern Italy. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dig Liver Dis 2014 Oct 8.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Colorectal cancer screening may reduce disease-related mortality by early-stage detection of cancers.To study the effect of a single immunochemical faecal occult blood test (i-FOBt) screening round on reduction in colorectal cancer-related-mortality among average risk subjects.Comparison of 5-year mortality rates in 3 cohorts from a Northern Italian province: (1) colorectal cancers detected at the 1st biennial round of a mass-screening programme targeting 50-69 years old subjects, (2) non-screening cancers symptomatically diagnosed during the same time period, and (3) cancers detected in the pre-screening biennium. Multivariate analyses were performed with the Cox regression model including tumour node metastasis (TNM) stage at diagnosis, anatomical distribution of cancers, age at diagnosis, gender and patient group. Kaplan-Meyer survival estimates and log-rank test for equality of survivor functions were calculated.Stage distribution significantly differed between screening and non-screening colorectal cancers: 73% of screen-detected colorectal cancers were stages I and II versus 43% and 40% of non-screening and pre-screening colorectal cancers. Cumulative 5-year mortality rate was significantly lower in screening compared to non-screening or pre-screening colorectal cancers patients (19% versus 37% and 41%, p<0.001).Colorectal cancers were detected at earlier stages in i-FOBT-positive subjects in comparison with non-screening patients; colorectal cancers found at screening had a significantly improved 5-year survival.

- Prevalence and risk factors of Clostridium difficile infection in patients hospitalized for flare of inflammatory bowel disease: A retrospective assessment. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dig Liver Dis 2014 Oct 4.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Recent studies have identified a high frequency of Clostridium difficile infections in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease.To retrospectively assess the determinants and results of Clostridium difficile testing upon the admission of patients hospitalized with active inflammatory bowel disease in a tertiary care centre and to determine the predicting factors of Clostridium difficile infections.We reviewed all admissions from January 2008 and December 2010 for inflammatory bowel disease flare-ups. A toxigenic culture and a stool cytotoxicity assay were performed for all patients tested for Clostridium difficile.Out of 813 consecutive stays, Clostridium difficile diagnostic assays have been performed in 59% of inpatients. The independent predictive factors for the testing were IBD (ulcerative colitis: OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.5-2.9; p<0.0001) and colonic involvement at admission (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.5-3.1, p<0.0001). Clostridium difficile infection was present in 7.0% of the inpatients who underwent testing. In a multivariate analysis, the only independent predictor was the intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs within the two months before admission (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.2-12.3; p=0.02).Clostridium difficile infection is frequently associated with active inflammatory bowel disease. Our study suggests that a recent intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease -associated Clostridium difficile infection.

- Recruited metastasis suppressor NM23-H2 attenuates expression and activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) in human cholangiocarcinoma. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dig Liver Dis 2014 Sep 29.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) is a versatile regulator of distinct biological processes and overexpression of PPARδ in cancer may be partially related to its suppression of its own co-regulators.To determine whether recruited suppressor proteins bind to and regulate PPARδ expression, activity and PPARδ-dependent cholangiocarcinoma proliferation.Yeast two-hybrid assays were done using murine PPARδ as bait. PPARδ mRNA expression was determined by qPCR. Protein expression was measured by western blot. Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence microscopy were used to determine PPARδ expression and co-localization with NDP Kinase alpha (NM23-H2). Cell proliferation assays were performed to determine cell numbers.Yeast two-hybrid screening identified NM23-H2 as a PPARδ binding protein and their interaction was confirmed. Overexpressed PPARδ or treatment with the agonist GW501516 resulted in increased cell proliferation. NM23-H2 siRNA activated PPARδ luciferase promoter activity, upregulated PPARδ RNA and protein expression and increased GW501516-stimulated CCA growth. Overexpression of NM23-H2 inhibited PPARδ luciferase promoter activity, downregulated PPARδ expression and AKT phosphorylation and reduced GW501516-stimulated CCA growth.We report the novel association of NM23-H2 with PPARδ and the negative regulation of PPARδ expression by NM23-H2 binding to the C-terminal region of PPARδ. These findings provide evidence that the metastasis suppressor NM23-H2 is involved in the regulation of PPARδ-mediated proliferation.
- Capsule endoscopy followed by single balloon enteroscopy in children with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding: A combined approach. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Dig Liver Dis 2014 Sep 26.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
This prospective single-centre study aims to evaluate a new diagnostic algorithm using capsule endoscopy, colon capsule endoscopy and single-balloon enteroscopy in the work-up of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in children.The usefulness of a new diagnostic algorithm was assessed comparing the clinically relevant findings revealed by each technique, and evaluating the clinical outcomes during the follow-up.A total of 22 paediatric patients were evaluated (14 male; mean age 12.5 years±3.9). Capsule endoscopies were positive in 14 (63.6%), suspicious in 5 (22.7%) and negative in 3 (13.6%). A second look with colon capsule identified new lesions in 2/3 (67%) of previous negative cases. Enteroscopies were able to reach the positive and suspicious findings in all but 2, in which an intraoperative enteroscopy was needed. This combined approach showed positive findings in 21/22 of cases with a diagnostic yield of 95%. Eighteen patients (82%) had a complete resolution after therapy. One patient resolved his symptoms spontaneously. Despite diagnosis, in three patients (13.6%) the gastrointestinal bleeding was not resolved after therapy.This algorithm achieves optimal levels of diagnostic yield (95%) and therapeutic outcome (82%). This approach deserves to be studied in a larger multicentre cohort of patients and for a longer follow-up period.

This. At such a resolution, even the best satellite channels that hit up to 20 mbit/s would look like crap, BDs wouldn't have the capacity to store a whole movie without turning down the bitrate so much that all the extra pixels are wasted on artifacts, and internet streaming just plain sucks at any high resolution unless you have FTTH or something.
You're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.

Here's a cool performance of "Cigarette State" from Youtube.
this monday at the hideout + station inn
Good grief, this is last-minute, but Greg Cahill joins me tonight, and the two of us will play guitar-banjo and banjo-banjo music. Rumor has it that Ollie O'Shea, the heroic fiddler, trad-country expert, drug lord, multiple shooting victim, fez champion, and certifiable lunatic will be dropping by to play. The usual "Warning: Traditional Bluegrass Music Will Be Played During Tonight's Performance" signs will be posted in the Hideout foyer.
Last Saturday's show at the Station Inn in Nashville was one of the most memorable of my life. Thanks to all who came to watch -- a nice big crowd, and generous as well. I was on a cloud for most of the day: the four of us, Shad Cobb, Chris Scruggs, Aaron Till and I, met at 11:00 that morning at Chris's house to go over the set. We started strumming through and stacking vocals on "Georgia Hard," and I thought, Jesus Lord, this is really something else, playing with these guys. Then Shad started fiddling and it got better yet. And then Noam Pikelny walked through the front door with his fucking banjo, and somehow it got even better; the rhythm feel just started to float. To be honest, the rehearsal was better than the show (though that's no complaint).
As I mentioned during the set, I first played the venerable and irreplaceable Station Inn (which was formerly a black R&B joint, a venue for the likes of T-Bone Walker and Howlin' Wolf, according to Aaron Till, an interesting tidbit that was news to me) in the late 1980s with Special Consensus. It was always a non-relaxed situation, because it was where the best guys in your field played, and of course in the world's most competitive (and knowledgeably watchful, you could feel the eyes, and ears too, every note heard) town for country-style instrumentalists. Also, in those days, you tended to cultivate more best-behavior delicacy walking into a Southern bluegrass venue, especially if you were a non-first-tier group from Yankeeland. If you didn't know the people running the joint very well and they were over 50, you treaded with care and kept it about music. The specter of conflicting visions on things like politics, race, the American military, and the Bible hung, sometimes dimly but usually palpably, in those places. Not nearly so much anymore, not in modern-day Nashville anyhow.
Well, I didn't know the guys running the Station very intimately then and still don't, but all the same, playing there Saturday felt a little like returning to a high school where you spent four mainly successful but marginally traumatic years of your young life, and burning down the gym. Afterward, I felt relaxed enough to walk up to the lady at bar and ask with a smile, "Who do I have to blow to get a can of beer around here?" Soon as the words left my mouth, I thought, Uh-oh, am I getting a tad too relaxed? She responded by pointing to the pretty young lady mopping the floor. "If you get your stuff off the stage in the next five minutes, she'll give you a blow job," she said cheerily. "Okay!" I said. "No, I won't," the young lady said, a little gloomily. Once this train of though started, I couldn't get off it, I guess because I was so happy from the show. "Who do I have to blow to get a blow job around here?" I yelled.
On a more grown-up note, the performance had moments that, as I said, I'll never forget: Shad's brilliantly drifting dyads on "The Buck Starts Here," Aaron's straight-over-dotted-eight Monroe banging on "Sometimes the Grass Is Really Greener," Chris's groovy slapping on "That's What I Like About the South," Noam's insane algebra on any of a dozen solos. Then the guests -- Ron Spears bringing down the house (salting the burned remains of the gym) with his screaming high B's on "Today Has Been A Lonesome Day" and Gail Davies harmonizing with me on the Everlys' "Problems" and Webb Pierce's great "Tupelo County Jail." What a blast! My villainous plan is to make the night stand less prominent in my mind, by doing some more shows like that, with players like that -- those players, fingers crossed! -- in the years to come. My musical world is wider than bluegrass, but when I've written some and want to play it with others, there's nothing quite like bluegrass gods for the job. Much love and thanks to the quartet, Lin and Robin at the Station, Ben Surratt and Missy Raines, Gail Davies and Rob Price, Ron Spears, David and Sharon Wykoff, and Lorne Rall. And it was great getting to meet and hang at the after-party with Roland White and Kathy Chiavola.
end of year, etc.
This year we're adding a second night to our annual year-end comedy & music bash at FitzGeralds of Berwyn. Night one is December 26th, night two is the 27th; tickets just went up; get 'em now. There won't be much difference in what we do across the nights, maybe just a few songs' worth of difference. Though if you want to come both nights, be my guest! Our recent wonderful gubernatorial campaign in Illinois will be just one of many, many 2014 nuggets maliciously shish-kebabbed.
I see my rather distressed looking mug is splashed all over Rolling Stone online, in a story about Bloodshot Records' 20th anniversary. Link:
I also observe that Paste, another distinguished organ for those who like to keep abreast of things, is streaming a vid of Robbie Gjersoe and me, at a suburban hotel, undertaking a dangerous act in the name of bluegrass music:
I look forward to entertaining in Houston on Thursday with the savagely talented and personally beloved Mary Gauthier. A glance at the tour dates also reveals that I'll be in Nashville at the Station Inn on Saturday with a quartet of heavy hitters (me, Aaron Till, Shad Cobb, Chris Scruggs). Couple guests are gonna swing by as well. If you were at the Station last time I was there, you must have seen John Cowan singing "White Freightliner" with me warbling the Bush line under him. In other words, don't be lulled into complacency by the casual locution, "couple guests"! Either I'm at a career apex where scads of geniuses are willing to work with me...or the geniuses have shitty agents and aren't doing anything Saturday nights.
