ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the sonographic and histopathological features of ovarian teratoma. Methods The sonographic and histopathological features were retrospectively analyzed and summarized in 35 cases of patients (40 cases of ovarian teratomas) with ovarian teratoma proved by surgery and pathology in Fuxing Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2005 to December 2013. Results There were three types on ultrasound: the cystic type (10/40, 25.0%), the solid type (5/40, 12.5%), and the cyst-solid type (25/40, 62.5%). The histopathological findings of the tumors were classified into two types: ovarian mature teratoma (36/40, 90.0%) and ovarian immature teratoma (4/40, 10.0%). In the ovarian mature teratoma group, the majority of the tumor were filled with oil, hair, skin and its appendages. The ovarian struma (1/40, 2.5%) could also be seen in this type, which was mainly filled with thyroid tissue.In the ovarian immature teratoma group, immature tissue mainly consisted of the primitive neural tube under the similar histopathological background with mature teratoma. In comparison of ultrasonography and pathology, the ultrasonographic features of immature teratoma and mature teratoma were similar. Both of them appeared as the solid type and the cyst-solid type. Conclusions In comparison of ultrasonography and pathology, ovarian teratoma's internal echo and its tissue structure are closely correlated. The cystic type was usually found in mature teratoma, and the solid type and the cyst-solid type can be found in either mature teratoma or immature teratoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe urinary iodine levels in the rat model for excessive iodine intake and monophagia.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into 8 groups:normal diet control group(NC),10-fold iodine + normal diet group(10 HI-N),50-fold iodine + normal diet group(50 HI-N),100-fold iodine + normal diet group(100 HI-N),monophagia control group(MC),10-fold iodine + monophagia group(10 HI-M),50-fold iodine + monophagia group(50 HI-M),100-fold iodine + monophagia group(100 HI-M).The excessive iodine intake groups exposed to 1 400,7 600,15 350 ?g/L I-through drinking water presented higher levels of daily iodine intake,which were 10,50,100 times of those in control groups.During the exposure period,the body weights of the rats were measured weekly,the levels of urinary iodine were determined at the second,the fourth and the sixth month.Results The body weights of the excessive iodine intake groups with monophagia were lower than that of the NC group.In normal diet groups and monophagia diet groups,the levels of urinary iodine increased with the increase of iodine intake.The levels of urine iodine in 50 HI-M group and 100 HI-M group were significantly higher than those of the related groups with higher iodine intake.Conclusion The experimental animal model of excessive iodine intake and monophagia are successfully established in the present research,with physical retardation and higher urinary iodine.
