Prenatal and postnatal MRI findings of fetal pericallosal lipoma with normal corpus callosum: a case report / 中华围产医学杂志

We describe the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal follow-up of a fetus with a pericallosal lipoma diagnosed by MRI. The pregnant woman was admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University in February 2019. MRI examinations with multiple sequences and imaging methods were performed prenatally at 31 +6 and 38 +3 weeks of gestation, and at two days and three months postnatally. The MRI images showed that the corpus callosum was normal and the lesion was located around the corpus callosum, with high signal intensity on T1 weighted imaging, medium-to-high signal intensity on T2 weighted imaging, and low signal intensity on fat suppression sequence. No abnormal blood vessels were found on susceptibility-weighted imaging and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography sequences. Based on the prenatal and postnatal MRI findings, the tumor was clinically diagnosed as a pericallosal lipoma.

Effect of hemodiafiltration combined with low dose calcitriol on high turnover osteodystrophy in maintenance hemodialysis patients / 重庆医学

Objective To compare the clinic efficacy and safety of renal osteodystrophy between hemodiafiltration (HDF)com-bined low dose calcitriol and high flux hemodialysis combined high dose Calcitriol .Methods 25 patients ,who were in accordance with the inclusion criteria ,were randomly divided into HDF combined low dose Calcitriol group (group HDF) (n=13) and high flux hemodialysis combined high dose Calcitriol (group VitD)(n=12) .Patients in group HDF took Calcitriol for 0 .5μg after every dialysis session ,while those in group VitD took it for 1 .0 μg after dialysis at first ,then the dose would be adjusted every 4 weeks according to the level of blood Calcium .The intervention continued for 16 weeks in total .Then detecting the levels of intact parathy-roid hormone (iPTH) ,bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) ,serum calcium (Ca) ,serum phosphorus (P) ,and calculating Ca × P sedi-mentation and clinical symptom score .Results he level of Ca in group HDF and group VitD increased significantly after interven-tion (P= 0 .000) .No difference was no statistically significant between the two groups (P= 0 .141) .The P ,iPTH ,BAP of two groups were significantly decreased (P<0 .05) .P in group HDF decreased more significantly(P=0 .003) .iPTH and BAP in group VitD decreased more significantly (P=0 .034 ,0 .046);Ca × P in group HDF decreased significantly (P=0 .031) ,but increased obvi-ously in group VitD(P=0 .037) ,which was much higher than group HDF(P=0 .001) .Clinical symptom in the two groups im-proved significantly after intervention(P<0 .05) ,There were no significant difference between the two groups(P=0 .632) .Conclu-sion The clinic efficacy of HDF combined low dose calcitriol is same as that of high flux hemodialysis combined high dose calcitri-ol .It could also reduce calcitriol side-effect ,which is an effective theraphy for high turnover osteodystrophy .

Value of postoperative pelvic four-contrast defecography in the patients with outlet obstructive constipation / 中华全科医师杂志

Twenty two patients with outlet obstructive constipation (OOC) underwent pelvic fourcontrast defecography preoperatively and postoperatively. Functional outcome and the findings on defecography were analyzed. The inconsistent signs between preoperative and postoperative defecography findings were shown in all patients. Some new abnormal findings, including 5 cases with pelvic floor hernia, 4 with cystocele, 4 with vagina prolapse, 3 with uterine prolapse,2 with rectal prolapsed and 1 with spastic pelvic floor syndrome were present in 5 patients with ineffective surgical treatment and 9 patients with effective surgical treatment. Reduced abnormal signs were showed in the 9 effective patients, but other new abnormalities appeared. The abnormal signs were reduced or disappeared in 8 obviously effective patients and there were no new abnormalities present in those patients. Results indicate that pelvic four-contrast defecography can provide valuable information for patients with OOC postoperatively.

Imaging Diagnosis and Interventional Therapy of Diffuse Type Hepatic Cellular Carcinoma (A Report of 14 Cases ) / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To study the imaging features and adequate interventional therapy of the diffuse type hepatic cellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Fourteen patients with the diffuse type HCC underwent hepatic angiography and the adequate interventional therapy by TAI or TAE according to imaging appearances,blood supply and function of liver.Results ①Imaging appearances:the most common appearances of fourteen patients with the diffuse type HCC on DSA and CT included:tumor blood vessel was extensive and increased,tumor stain was extensive in left and right liver leaf(such as grain,small spot ,nodule shadows or low density area),liver enlarged obviously with liver cirrhosis,portal vein tumor thrombus,arteriopotal shunt and widespreadly scattered iodized oil,et al.②Therapeutic effect:the mean survival time of fourteen patients was 3 months,the longest survival period was 10 months and the shortest one was olny 15 days.Conclusion ①The specific appearances of the diffuse type HCC are diffuse small spot-like,frosted glass-like,double orbit-like and big liver-like.②The interventional therapeutic effect and prognosis of the diffuse type HCC are the worst than that of other type primary hepatic carcinoma.Selecting adequate interventional therapeutical plan can obviously prolong survival time of the patient.

Angiography Features and Clinical Significance of Pelvic Tumor / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To study angiography features and clinical significance of "multiple tumor feeding embolization".Methods Twelve patients with pelvic tumor were reviewed retrospectively.The lesions included fibrosarcoma(n=1),chondrosarcoma(n=2),osteosarcoma(n=2) and metastatic tumor(n=7).Results Angiography features were:(1)multiple origin and branch of tumor-feeding vessels.(2)large vascular mass with dense tumor stain.(3)larger size of tumor stain comparing with that of bone destraction.After treatment,symptom relief and tumor shrink were obviously using"the multiple tumor-feeding embolization".Conclusion Angiography features of pelvic tumor are great value in guiding the clinical therapy.

DSA findings and bronchial arterial embolization of bronchiectasis with massive hemoptysis / 介入放射学杂志

Objective To explore DSA findings curative measures and effects of bronchial arterial embolization(BAE)of bronchiectasis with massive hemoptysis. Methods 35 patients with massive hemoptysis due to bronchiectasis were performed selective bronchial arterial DSA and BAE referring to image data of chest plain film and CT. Embolic materials were polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)and/or gelatinum sponge particles. Curative effects were followed-up for 3 months to 3 years. Results ①DSA revealed bronchial artery as being the only abnormal vessel accounted for 74.3%,bronchial artry combined with nonbronchial systemic artery as 22.9% and only non-bronchial artery involved 2.9%. Abnormal vessel number was 1 -5(mean 1.8) per case. Direct and indirect bleeding sign was displayed as 25.7% and 100% respectively. ②Curative and embolization effects were shown as 61 target vessels of 34 patients being embolized and total effective rate reaching 85.3%; of which 16 cases were adopted super-selective technique,1 case was failure of stopping bleeding for two times within 3 days,4 cases recurred within 3 months and 2 cases recurred over 3 months; with recurrent rate of 20.6%,but no serious complications such as spinal cord injury. Conclusions DSA examination and selective BAE of bronchiectasis with massive hemoptysis could provide high positive angiographic features and reliable curative effect.
