Quantitative study of MR T1 and T2 relaxation times and 1HMRS in gray matter of normal adult brain.
To evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) Imaging and (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)HMRS) in the study of normal biochemical process of the brain, as well as differentiation of normal senile brain from cerebral diseases related to senility. ⋯ Quantitative studies of MR T(1) and T(2) relaxation times and (1)HMRS are essential to evaluation of normal myelinization processes, neuronal integrity and age-related biochemical changes in the brain.

The potential role of IGF-I receptor mRNA in rats with diabetic retinopathy.
To evaluate the potential role of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor mRNA (IGF-IR mRNA) in the onset and development of retinopathy in diabetic rats. ⋯ Increased IGF-IR mRNA might play an important role in the onset and development of diabetic retinopathy.
