ABSTRACT

PurposeDiffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can significantly improve the diagnosis of non-enlarged lymph node metastasis. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between the DWI findings and the prognosis, and to identify prognostic factors.Materials and Methods Forty-seven patients with colorectal cancer underwent MRI scan including DWI sequence before surgery. Imaging ifndings were compared with the pathologic results to determine the metastatic lymph nodes (DWI positive) or non-metastatic lymph nodes (DWI negative). Postoperative disease-free survival and overall survival for 5 years of the patients with DWI positive and DWI negative lymph nodes were compared. Correlation between the prognosis and the related factors were investigated including regional DWI-positive lymph nodes, short axis diameter and long axis diameter of the largest DWI-positive lymph node, and number of DWI-positive nodes.Results Of 47 patients,10 (21%) patients had regional DWI-positive lymph nodes showed high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted images. The patients with regional DWI negative lymph nodes had a signiifcant better ifve-year disease-free survival and overall survival (P9 mm (P11 mm (P<0.05). Five-year disease-free survival of the patients with all DWI positive lymph nodes resected was higher than the patient without DWI-positive lymph nodes resected (P<0.05).Conclusion The patients with regional DWI-negative lymph node had a better prognosis. Of the patients with DWI-positive lymph nodes, the patients with smaller lymph nodes have better prognosis than who have larger lymph nodes.

ABSTRACT

Purpose To evaluate the correlations between high resolution CT (HRCT) findings and IASLC/ATS/ERS pathological classification of ground glass nodule (GGN). Materials and Methods 121 patients with confirmed GGN were selected, and divided into benign group (22 cases), PIL group (21 cases), microinvasive carcinoma group (26 cases) and invasive carcinoma group (52 cases), then the imaging, pathology and prognosis data of patients with pulmonary GGN were reviewed, and the differences among GGN of different pathological types were analyzed.Results Maximum diameter, margin, vacuole sign, solid component, shape and blood vessels through of GGN were significantly different among the four groups (χ2=9.945-31.068,P<0.05). Maximum diameter and margin were significantly different between invasive adenocarcinoma and other groups (P<0.008); vacuole sign of the benign group was significantly different with other groups (P<0.008); the existence of solid component and shape were significantly different between invasive adenocarcinoma and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (P<0.008); there was significant difference of blood vessels through between invasive adenocarcinoma and benign lesions (P<0.008). Among the 121 lesions, no metastasis except one invasive adenocarcinoma case complicated with distant metastasis.Conclusion Maximum diameter of GGN greater than 16.35 mm, with spiculation or lobulation represent invasive adenocarcinoma; vacuole sign within the GGN represent malignancy; with solid component and irregular shape can be used to identify invasive adenocarcinoma from minimally invasive adenocarcinoma; while blood vessels through can be used to identify invasive adenocarcinoma from benign lesions; the prognosis of GGNs is well with only 0.83% probability of distant metastasis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have the chemotaxis and homing role that promotes immune system reconstruction, eliminate residual lesions and prevent recurrence in patients. OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation into high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma animal models on metastatic potential of high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS:Nude mouse models of high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma were established in vivo. In the experimental group, 5×105 cells were injected via the tail vein on day 7 after tumor inoculation, twice a week. In the control group, cellculture medium, 0.2 mL per mouse, was injected by the tail vein. After the start of the experiment, tumor volume was measured every 4 days. After tumor inoculation for 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, 35 days, 42 days, animal models were sacrificed, and then tumor mass and body mass were recorded to calculate the inhibition rate. PCR was employed to detect osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and integrinα Ⅴ mRNA expression, as wel as bcl-2, bax, caspase3 mRNA expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The inhibition rate of tumor mass showed the best results in week 3. As time went on, the tumor inhibition rate was gradual y decreased. Metastasis-related biological factors showed a gradual down-regulated trend, indicating the polarization of tumor apoptotic indexes, that is, anti-apoptotic factor, bcl-2, showed a decreasing trend, while apoptotic factors, bax and caspase3, appeared to have a gradual y increased trend. These findings suggest that human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells effects to inhibit high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma animal models appear to vary with time. After human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation for 3 weeks, the inhibition performance on high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma is the best, and then it weakens with time. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are found to inhibit the metastatic potential of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo improve the visualization of anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and investigate the optimal MRI plane for the bundles at a 3.0 T MR scanner.MethodsMR images of 149 knee joints were reviewed retrospectively.Display rates of AMB,PLB and their different parts (the top portion,the middle portion and the low portion) on MR different planes including axial,sagittal and coronal planes were analyzed and their differences were compared with the x2 section method.ResultsThere was no statistical difference in the display rates of two bundles of ACL between axial plane ( 115/149,77.2% ) and coronal plane (103/149,69.1% ) (x2 =2.4606,P >0.0125 ).Statistical differences were found between axial and sagittal plane,coronal plane and sagittal plane (21/149,14.1% ) ( x2 =119.5138,92.8695 respectively,P <0.0125 ).There was a statistical difference for the top portion of ACL between axial plane ( 104/149,69.8% ) and coronal plane,sagittal (0/149,0)and coronal planes ( 7/149,4.7% ) ( x2 =135.081,159.7526 respectively,P < 0.0125 ),between sagittal and coronal planes (x2 =7.1684,P < 0.0125 ).For the middle portion of ACL,there was no statistical difference between axial plane ( 108/149,72.5% ) and coronal plane (94/149,63.1% ) (x2 =3.0120,P > 0.0125 ),while statistical differences were found between axial and sagittal plane,coronal planes and sagittal plane ( 10/149,6.7% ) ( x2 =134.7454,104.2173 respectively,P < 0.0125 ).For the low portion of ACL,there was no statistical difference between axial plane ( 103/149,69.1% ) and coronal plane (101/149,73.8% ) (x2 =0.8065,P >0.0125),while statistical differences were detected between axial and sagittal plane,coronal planes and sagittal plane ( 18/149,12.1% ) ( x2 =100.5300,115.9132,P < 0.0125 ). The different parts of ACL displayed low intensity on different MR planes and normal morphology.ConclusionsACL can be displayed on conventional MR planes at a 3.0 T MR scanner to some extent.Axial and coronal planes might be the optimal MRI planes for ACL and its two bundles.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the diagnosic performance of conventional 2D and 3D Cube MR imaging to identify complete and partial tears of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL).Methods Farty patients suspected of having tears of anterior cruciate ligament were prospectively studied by 3.0 T conventional 2D and 3D Cube MR imaging and arthroscopy.MR images were interpreted in consensus by two experienced radiologists,and the ACL was diagnosed as being normal,partially torn,or completely torn.Diagnostic accuracy of 2D and 3D Cube MR for the detection of both complete and partial tears of ACL was calculated using arthroscopy as the standard of reference.Area under curve (AUC) of both methods were calculated using ROC curves and were compared using Hanley& McNeil curve comparisions.Results Sixteen patients had intact ACL,12 had complete tear,and 12 had partial tear of the ACL at arthroscopy.For complete ACL tear,AUC of 2D MR and 3D Cube was 0.839 and 0.923 respectively,and there was no significant difference on ROC curves (Z =1.245,P =0.213).For partial ACL tears,AUC of 2D and 3D Cube MR were 0.643 and 0.881 respectively,and there was significant difference on ROC curves (Z =2.384,P =0.017).Conclusions Both 2D MR and 3D Cube MR have high sensitivity and specificity for identifying the complete ruptures of ACL.3D Cube MRI appears to be superior inidentifying partial rupture of ACL.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the values of tCho concentration in early assessment therapeutic response of tumor to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 1HMR spectroscopy. Methods Twenty patients with breast cancer were recruited. All patients underwent biopsy before neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery after chemotherapy. The pathologic results before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were compared. The patients were divided into effective response group (R) and ineffective response group (IR). MRS acquisitions were performed within 1 week before chemotherapy and within 3 week after the first cycle of chemotherapy, respectively. The tCho concentration was calculated quantitatively using external standard method. The tCho concentrations before and after chemotherapy and the tumor sizes between R group and IR group were compared using t test and nonparametrie test. The values of tCho concentration in early assessment of the effectiveness of chemotherapy were analyzed by ROC. Results Of 20 cases, 16 were included in R group and 4 in IR group. In R group, significant differences of tCho concentration (t=5. 040, P < 0. 01 ) existed between before and after chemotherapy [ (4. 24 ± 3.09 ), ( 1.13 ± 1.14 ) mmol/L ], while not in I R group [ ( 3.72 ± 2. 69), ( 3.06 ± 2. 21 ) mmol/L, t = 1. 785, P > 0. 05 ]. The median sizes of tumor between R and IR group had no significant differences (0. 00,0. 00 cm, U = 23.00, W = 33.00, P = 0. 437). The area under ROC curve of tCho concentration was 0. 984. Conclusion With in vivo 1HMRS, the tChn concentration in breast cancer can serve as an indicator for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with relatively high sensitivity and specificity.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a quantitative method for individually adjusting the tube current to obtain images with consistent noise in electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated CT cardiac scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The image noise from timing bolus and cardiac CT scans of 80 patients (Group A) who underwent a 64-row multidetector (MD) CT cardiac examination with patient-independent scan parameters were analyzed. A formula was established using the noise correlation between the timing bolus and cardiac scans. This formula was used to predict the required tube current to obtain the desired cardiac CT image noise based on the timing bolus noise measurement. Subsequently, 80 additional cardiac patients (Group B) were scanned with individually adjusted tube currents using an established formula to evaluate its ability to obtain accurate and consistent image noise across the patient population. Image quality was evaluated using score scale of 1 to 5 with a score of 3 or higher being clinically acceptable. RESULTS: Using the formula, we obtained an average CT image noise of 28.55 Hounsfield unit (HU), with a standard deviation of only 1.7 HU, as opposed to a target value of 28 HU. Image quality scores were 4.03 and 4.27 for images in Groups A and B, respectively, and there was no statistical difference between the image quality scores between the two groups. However, the average CT dose index (CTDIvol) was 30% lower for Group B. CONCLUSION: Adjusting the tube current based on timing bolus scans may provide a consistent image quality and dose optimization for cardiac patients of various body mass index values.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the X ray imaging of the common complications after total hip replacement (THR), in order to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the complications of THR. Methods Forty six cases were revised because of the complications of THR. The value of X ray in the diagnosis of complications was assessed by observing the radiography and comparing with surgical results. Results In these cases, after revision, 34 cases had aseptic loosening of femoral component, 13 cases had aseptic loosening of acetabular component, presenting on radiographs as the lucent zone alone the component, which was ≥2 mm in width and had the same contour as the component. 4 cases had septic loosening of femoral and (or) acetabular component, presenting on radiographs as the lucent zone alone the component, and bone destruction and sinus were also observed. The lucent zone was also ≥3 mm, but had the different contour of the component. Both kinds of loosening may accompany with migration of the component or not. 6 cases had dislocation of femoral head, presenting on radiographs as the head lying out of acetabulum in 2 cases, central migrating of the head in 2 cases, and asymmetrical position of the head in acetabulum in 2 cases. Conclusion The lucent zone and component migration had the important diagnostic value of loosening, the contour of lucent zone and sinus could help to make the differential diagnosis of aseptic and septic loosening. Asymmetrical position of the head in acetabulum and the head lying out of acetabulum were the signs of dislocation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Seventy-six patients with polyarthralgia (fifty-four were finally diagnosed as RA,and twenty-two were non-RA) were selected to undergo MR scanning of bilateral hands and wrists.The signs including synovial enhancement or thickening,bone erosion,bone marrow edema,tendonitis,and effusion were observed on MR imaging.The value of various MR manifestations was evaluated.Bayes discriminant analysis was used to investigate the MR imaging criterion for the diagnosis of RA.Results MR imaging first diagnosed twelve of the fifty-four RA patients.When using bilateral synovial enhancement or thickening as criterion,the sensitivity and specificity were 85.19% and 86.36%,respectively.Conclusion MR imaging is one of the reliable diagnostic indexes of RA and it is extremely useful in early diagnosis.The diagnosis of early RA was highly suggested when bilateral synovial enhancement presented.When both the bilateral synovial enhancement or thickening and at least one of bone erosion/bone marrow edema/tendonitis/effusion presented,or when both the unilateral synovial enhancement or thickening and at least two of them presented at the same time,the diagnosis of RA should be considered.

ABSTRACT

Objective To control the image quality and to optimize the scan protocols of 64 multi-slice CT coronary imaging by analyzing factors that influence the image quality.Methods Seventy-eight patients with known or suspected CAD underwent CT coronary angiography using 64 multi-slice CT.The image quality in those cases was analyzed retrospectively to derive the optimized scan protocols.The application value of the override function was discussed.The dependency of cardiac reconstruction algorithms and corresponding image quality on patient heart rates was analyzed.In addition,the relationship between heart rate and the contrast-enhancement effect was studied.Results(1)Correct use of override function could improve the quality of cardiac images.(2)For patients with heart rates below 70 beats per minute,the image quality of single-segment reconstruction was satisfactory.For patients with heart rates between 70 and 79 beats per minute,the scores of images reconstructed with two-segments were better than that of single-segment reconstruction.(3)In the group with averaged heart rate of 60.7 beats per minute,the forecast contrast quantity of 70 ml was judged insufficient in 65.7%(23/35)cases;while for the group with averaged heart of 71.1 beats per minute,52.9%(18/34)cases were enhanced well.Conclusion The use of override function,correct segment mode and appropriate contrast quantity could be selected according to the heart rate,which could improve the image quality and reliability.
