Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored how combining dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) could improve the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) compared to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by analyzing imaging parameters in 81 patients.
  • - Results showed that certain blood vessel permeability parameters (like volume transfer rate constants) were higher and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was lower in PCa patients, indicating these metrics can be useful in differentiating PCa from BPH.
  • - The highest diagnostic efficiency for PCa was found using a combination of the K parameter and ADC, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.939, with a slight

To investigate the effect of total panax notoginseng saponins (tPNS) to induce the differentiation of mononuclear cells (MNC) in cord blood into endothelial cells, the DMEM culture media containing tPNS were used to induce the MNC of cord blood. Then, the morphology of the adherent cells was observed by the light microscopy and the fluorescence microscopy, the changes of cell surface markers (UEA-1), function marker (vWF) and CD31 were detected by flow cytometry. The results showed that the number of adherent cells produced by 250 mg/L tPNS and the positive rate of cells expressing CD31 and UEA-1 were higher than those in the groups of other concentrations (P < 0.
