[Preliminary quantitative study of dynamic magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging in rabbit models implanted with hepatic tumor grafts from VX2].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of dynamic magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in rabbit models with implanted VX2 hepatic tumor grafts.

Methods: MRI and DTI images were obtained from 16 rabbit models with implanted VX2 hepatic tumor grafts (14, 18, 22, and 26 days after tumor implantation, respectively) and 4 normal rabbits. The average diffusion coefficient (ADC) and exponential ADC (eADC) were estimated and compared against pathological findings.

[A simple and rapid methods used for silver staining and gel preservation].

This paper introduced the simple and rapid methods of silver staining and gel preservation. It was taken only about 10 and 15 minutes to stain a gel. The background of gel was light, the bands were clear, the sensibility was high and the stabilization was well by the method of silver staining.

[Polymorphism of HLA-DRB1 in Han population in Yunnan and comparison with 9 Han populations].

129 samples of Han population in Yunnan province were detected by polymerase chain reaction and microtitre plate hybridization (PCR-MPH). The samples of DR*15 subgroup being detected by PCR-MPH were further analyzed by Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP). By first polymerase chain reaction and microtitre plate hybridization (PCR-MPH), all of the 129 samples were divided into the following subgroups, viz.
