RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the animal model of the multidrug resistant glioma cell line C6/adr for further in vivo studies.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The rat glioma cells C6 and multidrug resistance cells C6/adr were cultured in vitro and implanted into the brain of S-D rats. After implantation, all these animals were examined continually with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological examination. The growth procedure of intracranial implanted glioma and the survival span of the animal model were evaluated. The statistical analysis was made between the survival data of the two cell lines.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The symptoms of intracranial hypertension did not occur until 4 weeks after inoculation. The MRI findings of the implanted glioma in the rat brain were much earlier than the abnormal behavior observed. Pathological results after inoculation demonstrated the MRI findings. The two cell lines had similar growth characteristics and no significant differences in survival times.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>These results suggest that by means of MRI and histology the growth procedure of the implanted glioma in vivo be successfully observed. All these data will proved to be a useful basis for study of glioma in vivo.</p>

Objective To investigate the differences of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value in normal breasts and to evaluate the correlation between ADC value and corresponding histology.Methods Sixty-two normal breasts including 42 normal breasts of 42 patients with unilateral lesions and 20 normal breasts of 10 volunteers were studied.The ADC value of all 62 normal breasts were calculated when b value was given from 1000 to 0 s/mm~2,1000 to 500 s/mm~2and 500 to 0 s/mm~2.The MRI features of 60 normal breasts were classified into 3 types(dense,lobular-speckled,degenerative types)according to Wolf's classification and histology.Results DWI and ADC images were different in 3 types of normal breasts because of different histologic structures.The mean ADC value of the dense type breasts was(1.70? 0.37)?10~(-3)mm~2/s,the lobular-speckled type was(1.93?0.46)?10~(-3)mm~2/s and the degenerative type was(1.18?0.65)?10~(-3)mm~2/s(F=12.998,P=0.000).There were no significant differences between the dense type and the lobular-speckled type(F=2.167,P=0.147),but significant differences between the dense type and the degenerative type,the lobular-speckled type and the degenerate type(F=5.593 and 19.128;P=0.029 and 0.000).When b value decreased,the ADC value of the dense type and the lobular- speckled type increased correspondingly,but the degenerative type didn't increase apparently.Conclusion ADC value was influenced by histologic structures in normal breasts and also was influenced by b value in the dense type and lobular-speckled type breasts.
