ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the MRI manifestations of primary testicular lymphoma (PTL). Methods: Clinical and MRI data of 8 patients with pathologically confirmed PTL were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Plain MRI showed morphological abnormalities of affected testis in all 8 cases, and the volume increased. The lesions appeared as masses with clear borders, present low signals on T1WI in all 8 cases and spot-like high signals in 3 cases, uneven iso-low signals on T2WI showed. Epididymis and spermatic cord involvement were found in 3 cases, the boundary of testis and epididymis were not clear, and signals were heterogeneous, spermatic cord with multiple curved strips of high signal on T2WI. Hydrocele occurred in 3 cases, including 1 case involved epididymis and spermatic cord. Obviously heterogeneous enhancement of lesions was found during delayed enhancement scanning, and unenhanced areas were noticed in 3 cases. The time-intensity curves (TIC) of lesions presented outflow type (type III) in all 8 cases. On DWI, the solid parts of lesions showed high signal, which showed low signal on ADC map in all 8 cases. Conclusion: MRI manifestations of PTL had certain characteristics. Combination of plain and dynamic enhancement MR were helpful to correct diagnosis of PTL.
ABSTRACT
Objective\ To study the influence of long-term quality of life in MHD patient after their family numbers have received home-nursing education Methods 49 cases of MHD were divided into two groups randomly: the observe groups(n=24),and the control groups(n=25).Both groups were received routing treatment with health education,while the family members of observation groups were also guided with home-nursing education.After one and five years′ treatment,the index of quality of life were compared with SF-36 respectively. Results The quality of life in observation groups was significant higher than that of control group(after one year P
