RESUMO
Nanomaterial-based drug sustainable release systems have been tentatively applied to bone regeneration. They, however, still face disadvantages of high toxicity, low biocompatibility, and low drug-load capacity. In view of the low toxicity and high biocompatibility of polymer nanomaterials and the excellent load capacity of hollow nanomaterials with high specific surface area, we evaluated the hollow polydopamine nanoparticles (HPDA NPs), in order to find an optimal system to effectively deliver the osteogenic drugs to improve treatment of bone defect. Data demonstrated that the HPDA NPs synthesized herein could efficiently load four types of osteogenic drugs and the drugs can effectively release from the HPDA NPs for a relatively longer time in vitro and in vivo with low toxicity and high biocompatibility. Results of qRT-PCR, ALP, and alizarin red S staining showed that drugs released from the HPDA NPs could promote osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) in vitro. Image data from micro-CT and H&E staining showed that all four osteogenic drugs released from the HPDA NPs effectively promoted bone regeneration in the defect of tooth extraction fossa in vivo, especially tacrolimus. These results suggest that the HPDA NPs, the biodegradable hollow polymer nanoparticles with high drug load rate and sustainable release ability, have good prospect to treat the bone defect in future clinical practice.

Objective To study the regional anatomy of the cavernous sinus for skull base surgery.Methods Continuous thin sections on coronary plane were performed with freezing milling technique on an head specimen from March 2008 to November 2011.After segmenting,labeling and extracting in a seraial sections,we finished the three dimensional reconstruction of the cavernous sinus.Results Three hundred and ninety thin coronary sections were obtained.The related structures were described in six typical sections.The cavernous sinuses were located on each side of the sphenoid sella.The sinus connects to the superior orbital fissure below and lateral to the anterior clinoid process,opens into the basilar sinuses lateral to the dorsum sellae.The four main spaces within the sinus,identified by their relation to the carotid artery,were the medial,the anteroinferior,the posterosuperior compartments and the lateral space.The four spaces were located differnently and communicate with each others in three dimensional images.Conclusion Combination of coronary section anatomy and three dimensional reconstruction can display the anatomical characters of the s cavernous sinus.The 3D models are video films that continuously and dynamically display anatomic structures in 3D space at different velocities.
RESUMO
Objective To study the developmental process of the region of basal nuclei of postmortem fetuses by 3.0 T and 7.0 T MRI.Methods One hundred and thirty-one postmortem fetuses of 14 to 40 weeks of gestational age(GA)were scanned by 3.0 T MR,of which 11 fetuses of 14-27 weeks of GA were chosen and scanned by 7.0 T MR. The time when the structures in the region of basal nuclei could be detected and the changes of MR signal intensity were analyzed for MRI of different Tesla.Results On 3.0 T MRI.the dorsal thalamus could be delineated as early as 14 weeks of GA. The germinal matrix, caudate nucleus,and putamen could be visualized as early as 15 weeks of GA. The globus pallidus could be described as early as 18 weeks of GA.and the internal capsule and external capsule could be shown as early as 20 weeks of GA. The signal of the caudate nucleus during 15-30 weeks of GA was relatively hypointense on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI.but during 31-40 weeks of GA, it was relatively hyperintense on T1WI and hypointense on T2WI. The putamen had a relatively high signal intensity on T1WI and low signal intemity on T1WI during 15-17 weeks of GA, and it appeared patchy during 18-25 weeks of GA,then it had a relatively low signal intensity on T1WI and high signal intensity on T2WI during 26-30 weeks of GA, and during 31-40 weeks of GA,its signal intensity was relatively high on T1WI and low on T2WI.The globus pallidus had a relatively high signal intensity on T1WI and low signal intensity on T2WI during 20-40 weeks of GA Compared to the 3.0 T MRI,the T2 images of 7.0 T MRl were more clear,and most structures in the region of basal nuclei could be clearly displayed as early as 16 weeks of GA.such as the germinal matrix,caudate nucleus,dorsal thalamus,putamen,globus pallidus,internal capsule,and external capsule.The claustrum could be delineated as early as 18 weeks of GA on 7.0 T MRI. Conclusions 3.0 T MRI could show the developmental process of the region of basal nuclei well,but the T2 images of 7.0 TMRl were comparatively better.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the morphology and relationships with the adjacent structures in the pineal region on the thin sections and to provide anatomic data for imaging diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases in this region. Methods By CT and MRI examination, one normal head specimen was selected for this study. Using the computerized freezing milling technique, the specimen was sliced from anterior to posterior. The in vivo MR images were obtained from ten normal Chinese male adult volunteers using a 3.0 T GE scanner. The base lines of the sectioning and the MR scan were perpendicular to the AC-PC line. Then primary sections were contrasted with the corresponding MR images. Results By the appearance of the pineal peduncle and the disappearance of the pineal gland, the pineal region could be divided into three parts from anterior to posterior, and the shape changed from an inverted triangle to a trapezoid and a triangle gradually. The first interspace was getting wider in the anterior and middle parts of the pineal region, while in the posterior part of the pineal region, it was getting narrower and disappeared finally. From anterior to posterior, the bilateral internal cerebral veins were always in the midline of the pineal region and descended gradually.Conclusion By the computerized freezing milling technique, the anatomic details and adjacent relationships of the pineal region could be exhibited clearly in the thin serial sections, which could help the imaging diagnosis and surgical treatments for minute diseases in this region.
RESUMO
Objective To study the capability of high field MRI in demonstrating the post-mortem fetal brains at different gestational age(GA).Methods One hundred and eight post-mortem fetal brains of 14-40 weeks GA were evaluated by 3.0 T MRI. Eleven brains of 14 to 27 weeks GA with good 3.0 T MRI images were chosen and scanned by 7.0 T MRI. The developing sulci, layered structures of fetal cerebral cortex and basal nuclei were evaluated on MRI of different Tesla(3.0 T and 7.0 T)and their results analyzed. Results On T_1 WI of 3.0 T MRI, the layered structures of fetal cerebral cortex were present at 14 weeks GA, the sulci were more accurately identified after 16 weeks GA. The basal nuclei were clearly distinguishable after 20 weeks GA. and these structures were better visualized as the GA increased. On T_2WI of 7.0 T MRI, the sulei, layered structures of fetal cerebral cortex and basal nuclei were shown more clearly at the same GA when compared to 3.0 T, especially the sulci at the early developmental stages. Conclusions T_1 WI of 3.0 T MRI could show the developing structures of post-mortem fetal brain well, but the T_2 WI of 7.0 T MRI were comparatively better.

RESUMO
Objective To localize precisely cerebral central sulcus on the coronal MR imaging. Methods The serieses of 4 mm thickness coronal sections and coronal MR images of brain were prepared on 30 cadaver heads. The preparation of the brain slices in correspondence with MR scan took the line perpendicular to the midpoint of intercommissural line as base one. The important cerebral gyri of cadaver were painted different colors. The coronal MR images of 6 volunteers were also prepared. The localization of central sulcus on the coronal sections was studied by the comparison of MR images with serial coronal sections of the brains. Results On the section of the central sulcus appearing for the first time, the appearing rate of dorsal thalamus was: left side 93%, right side 97%; the appearing rate of pyramidal tract was: left side 20%, right side 13%. The central sulcus almost disappeared on the section through the posterior border of splenium of corpus callosum, the appearing rate of the central sulcus on the superolateral surface was 33% on the both sides. Conclusion The central sulcus appears for the first time on the 1-2 sections which the dorsal thalamus appears on but the pyramidal tract doesn′t appear. On the section through pyramidal tract, the superior frontal, precentral and postcentral gyri can be identified according to the three medullary branches on superolateral surface of cerebral hemispheres. The central sulcus has almost disappeared on the section through the posterior border of splenium of corpus callosum.
