ABSTRACT
Objective To study the MRI features of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(sCJD). Methods Three patients with clinically diagnosed sCJD underwent MR study,including SE T_1WI,FSE T_2 WI,and DWI sequences.The MR imaging features were analyzed.Results The lesions were not definite either in SE T_1 WI or in FSE T_2 WI,but were prominent in DWI.Abnormal hyperintensive signal appeared in the cerebral cortex,with the frontal,parietal,and occipital lobes being the mostly involved region.The subcortical white matter was normal.The bilateral caudate nuclei and thalami could also be involved.The abnormal signal could be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.There was diffuse atrophy of the brain parenchyma in the late phase of disease,especially in the cortex.Conclusion With the application of MR study,especially the DWI,combined with its characteristic clinical manifestation,the diagnosis of sCJD can be made definitely.
ABSTRACT
Objective To estimate the difference of PS、CBV/CBF in the evaluation pf angiogenesis and growth behavior of the C6 glioma.Methods Sixty adult Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups randomly.CT perfusion were performed at the time of 5,13,20 d after the rats were inoculated C6 glioma cells.Permeability surface(PS),cerebral blood volume(CBV),cerebral blood flow(CBF)of different part of the tumor(central part,peripheral part,adjacent part and contralateral normal parenchyma)were measured at different time.Results At the central parts of the lesions,there were obvious difference between different time of tumor growth among PS[(3.94?0.15),(8.47?0.34),(5.20?0.65)ml? 100g~(-1)?min~(-1)],CBF[(280.33?8.82),(388.33?14.00),(116.16?11.54)ml? 100g~(-1)?min~(-1)],CBV[(7.75?0.27),(12.73?0.98),(5.14?0.66)ml?100g~(-1)](F=4.421,P= 0.013;F=11.370,P=0.000;F=15.789,P=0.000).There were statistical difference of PS at the different time in both the peripheral and adjacent parts of the glioma.(F=13.567,P=0.000;F=12.470, P=0.000).No difference were detected in CBF or CBV at different time of the peripheral parts of the tumors(F=1.176,P=0.336;F=0.148,P=0.710).there were significant difference between different time of tumor growth among CBF[(175.33?12.95),(275.50?13.76),(246.33?12.81)ml? 100g~(-1)?min~(-1)],CBV[(4.15?0.47),(8.05?0.30),(7.54?0.89)ml?100g~(-1)]at the adjacent parts of the tumors(F=24.176,P=0.000;F=17.148,P=0.000;F=15.791,P=0.000). Coneluslon CBV,CBF can reflect the number and volume of the tumor vessels,while PS can directly reflect the function of the angiogenesis and the behavior of the glioma.
