The aim of this article is to analyze factors affecting sonication dose and build a dosimetry model of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids. Four hundred and three patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent HIFU were retrospectively analyzed. The energy efficiency factor (EEF) was set as dependent variable, and the factors possibly affecting sonication dose included age, body mass index, size of uterine fibroid, abdominal wall thickness, the distance from uterine fibroid dorsal side to sacrum, the distance from uterine fibroid ventral side to skin, location of uterus, location of uterine fibroids, type of uterine fibroids, abdominal wall scar, signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and enhancement type on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) were set as predictors to build a multiple regression model.

Purpose: To map the distribution of normal GRLNs and evaluating the characteristics of GRLNs with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in healthy population.
Material And Methods: Forty-nine enrolled healthy volunteers were divided into two age groups and underwent conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DWI examinations.

Electronic address:
Purpose: To investigate the value of microbubble contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluating the treatment response of uterine fibroids to HIFU ablation.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-eight patients with a solitary uterine fibroid from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were included and analyzed. All patients underwent pre- and post-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a standardized protocol, as well as pre-evaluation, intraprocedure, and immediate post-treatment CEUS.
[Matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression by endothelial cells incubated with peripheral blood leukocytes from patients with cerebral infarction].

Department of Neurology, 1st Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400016, China.
Objective: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) have been implicatedin the development of cerebral infarction. In a prospective study we investigated whether the MMP-9 expression are increased by endothelial cells incubated with peripheral blood Leukocytes from patients with acute cerebral infarctions.
Methods: Using Immuno-fluorescence technique, Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cocultured with leucocytes for 24 hours in vitro before used for detecting the MMP-9 expression.
