Objective To study the application value of 3.0T MRI T2 mapping quantitative technology in the diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament sprain and chronic injury of knee joint.Methods A total of 82 subjects were studied,and the experimental group 72 cases was divided into grade Ⅰ injury group(25 cases),grade Ⅱ injury group(25 cases),chronic injury group(22 cases),and control group 10 cases.The experimental group met the criteria of arthroscopy.The proximal,middle,and distal segments of the anterior cruciate ligament were selected as the region of interest(ROI),and T2 mapping values were measured.The differences in T2 mapping values of each area were compared between and within the groups,while compared with arthroscopy.Results The T2 mapping values in grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and chronic injury groups were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Comparison within the experimental group:the T2 mapping values of each area in grade Ⅱ injury group were higher than those in grade Ⅰ injury group and chronic injury group(P<0.05).The T2 mapping values of each area in grade Ⅰ injury group were higher than those in chronic injury group(P<0.05).The specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of T2 mapping in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament grade Ⅰ injury were 94.7%,95.5%,89.7%,96.6%,and 90.2%respectively.The specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy of grade Ⅱ injury were 89.4%,87.9%,92.1%,93.4%,and 93.8%respectively.The specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy of chronic injury were 92.2%,95.4%,90.3%,87.6%,and 91.5%respectively.Kappa test showed a good con-sistency between T2 mapping results and arthroscopic results,with a Kappa value of 0.763(P<0.01).Conclusion The value of MRI T2 mapping can provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament sprain and chronic injury of knee joint,and the results are in good agreement with the control of arthroscopy.

Objective To quantitatively study the pathological characteristics of the joint disc in the early stage of temporomandibular joint dysfunction based on 3.0T MR T2 mapping technology.Methods There were 90 patients in the study,including 30 in the control group and 60 in the experimental group.All patients were clinically diagnosed with early temporomandibular joint dysfunction.The 90 patients underwent conventional 3.0T MR and T2 mapping scanning in open and closed mouth positions,the T2 mapping pseudo-color images of the temporomandibular joint disc was observed,and the T2 mapping values at the anterior extension,anterior,middle,posterior bands of the temporomandibular joint disc,as well as the upper and lower plates of the double plate area were quantitatively measured.The T2 mapping values of the above sites were compared between and within the two groups.Results The T2 mapping values in the anterior extension,anterior band,middle band,posterior band,upper plate and lower plate of the bilateral temporomandibular joint disc in the open and closed positions of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The T2 mapping values in the open and closed positions of the experimental group were higher than those in other areas(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in T2 mapping values between the control group and the experimental group in the observation areas of the bilateral tem-poromandibular joint disc at the open and closed positions(P>0.05).Conclusion The 3.0T MR T2 mapping can be used to quantitatively assess the joint disc injury of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in the early stage,and the value of T2 mapping in the middle band of the disc in the experimental group is higher than that in other observation areas.

Objective To assess the effect of viral macrophage inflammatory protein (vMIP)-Ⅱ on the expression of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme-catalytic polypeptide-like 3G (APOBEC3G),and to explore the mechanisms.Methods A recombinant plasmid pEGFP-N3-K4 (vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group) and an empty plasmid pEGFP-N3 (empty plasmid group) were separately transfected into 293T cells,and quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to evaluate the effect of transfection with vMIP-]Ⅱ gene on the APOBEC3G expression in 293T cells.Some 293T cells in the empty plasmid group and vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group were treated with 1 000 IU/ml interferon (IFN)-α for 36 hours,and then Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the APOBEC3G expression in the empty plasmid group and vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group with or without IFN-α treatment.Some 293T cells transfected with vMIP-Ⅱplasmids were treated with 75 μ mol/L AG490 (a JAK/STAT signaling pathway inhibitor) and 20 μ mol/L U0126 (an ERK signaling pathway inhibitor) separately;after 24 hours,total protein was extracted from 293T cells,and Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the expression of APOBEC3G.A recombinant plasmid containing APOBEC3G promoter was constructed by using a luciferase reporter gene,and the promoter fragment included the full-length promoter sequence (POS) of APOBEC3G,sequences with the lengths of 1 560,960,720,480,420,360,330 and 240 bp,and the regulatory element-free region (NEG) of APOBEC3G,separately.Some 293T cells were co-transfected with the recombinant plasmid carrying luciferase reporter gene and vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid (experimental group),or the recombinant plasmid and empty plasmid (control group).Subsequently,the activity of the APOBEC3G promoter was evaluated,and the key promoter region through which the transcriptional activity of APOBEC3G was regulated by vMIP -Ⅱ was analyzed.Statistical analysis was carried out by using t test,one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference (LSD)-t test.Results The mRNA and protein expression of APOBEC3G was significantly higher in the vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group (2.500 ± 0.013,1.472 ± 0.013 respectively) than in the control group (1,0.364 ± 0.030 respectively;t =6.22,6.54 respectively,both P < 0.05).The APOBEC3G expression significantly differed among the empty plasmid group,vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group,empty plasmid + IFN-oα group and vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid + IFN-α group (1,2.030 ± 0.108,2.700 ± 0.081 and 2.600 ± 0.099 respectively;F =67.026,P < 0.001),but there was no significant difference between the vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group and empty plasmid + IFN-α group (t =3.46,P > 0.05).The APOBEC3G expression also significantly differed among the vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group,vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid + AG490 group and vMIP-Ⅱplasmid + U0126 group (0.617 ± 0.025,0.179 ± 0.061,0.359 ± 0.012 respectively;F =70.019,P < 0.001),and was significantly lower in the vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid + AG490 group and vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid + U0126 group than in the vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid group (t =9.66,11.836 respectively,both P < 0.01).Luciferase activity assay showed that the promoter activity significantly differed among the vMIP-Ⅱ plasmid groups transfected with POS,1 560-,960-,720-,480-,420-,360-,330-,240-bp or NEG sequences (F =81.092,P < 0.001),and the APOBEC3G promoter activity decreased greatly from the 720-bp group to 480-bp group.Conclusion vMIP-Ⅱ upregulates the expression of APOBEC3G,likely through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway or the key promoter region regulating the transcriptional activity of APOBEC3G.
