ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of 3D time-of-flight MRI ( MRI 3D-TOF) combined with 3D reconstruction technique for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular compression of trigeminal neuralgia by magnetic resonance angiography combined with three-dimen-sional reconstruction technique.Methods A total of 80 patients with vascular compression of the trigeminal neuralgia in our hospital from January 2012 to February 2014 were diagnosed by axial MRI 3D-TOF,combined with 3D vascular and nerve reconstruction in the anatomy Department for further diagnosis and treatment.Results The patients were diagnosed according to the trigeminal nerve and the typings of pe-ripheral vascular compression.The diagnosis results for 29 cases of typeⅠ,19 cases of typeⅡ,32 cases of typeⅢfrom physician 1,the di-agnosis results for 48 cases of typeⅠ,21 cases of typeⅡand typeⅢin 11 cases from physician 2,the difference of the diagnosis bwtween two physicians was statistical significance (P=0.00).Compared with intraoperative diagnosis,the diagnosis of 3D reconstruction results was similar to the intraoperative diagnosis,and the difference was no statistical significance (P=0.98).Conclusion MRI 3D-TOF combined with three-dimensional reconstruction technique in the diagnosis of vascular trigeminal neuralgia shows clear images of the nerve and its sur-rounding vessels,which can be applied to the diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the quantification and significance of Msx2, topoII-α; HPV16 and VEGF in sinonasal inverted papilloma(SNIP), to study the correlation among the four factors,and to discover the relationship between Msx2 and topoII-α in the process of SNIP malignant transfomation.@*METHOD@#Real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of Msx2, topoII-α, HPV16 and VEGF in 13 cases of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), 10 cases of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma(NSCC) and 10 cases of inflammatory nasal polyp paraffin (INP)tissues. According to the pathology results SNIP were divided into mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia and severe dysplasia. All the data were analysised by SPSS17. 0, P<0. 05 was refered to statistically significant difference.@*RESULT@#The mRNA level of Msx2, topoII-α, VEGF and HPV16 in SNIP, NSCC tissues were significantly higher than in the INP tissues (P<0. 05). The expression differences of Msx2, topoII-α, HPV16 and VEGF mRNA level in SNIP tissues which were divided into three groups according to their pathological results,were all statistically significantly different between any two of the three groups (P< 0. 05). Using Pearson correlation coefficient analysis,we found positive correlation between any two of the mRNA level of Msx2, topoII-α, VEGF and HPV16 (P<0. 05).@*CONCLUSION@#Msx2 and topoII-α may play an important role in the process of SNIP Malignant transformation,which may be new targets for gene therapy of SNIP and NSCC.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and significance of muscle segment homeobox2 (Msx2) and topo II-alpha in sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), and the relationship in the process of malignant transformation of SNIP.@*METHOD@#Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in 32 cases of SNIP, 30 cases of inflammatory nasal polyp (INP) and 30 cases of SNIP with carcinoma. According to the pathology results, SNIP were divided into mild atypical hyperplasia, moderate atypical hyperplasia and severe atypical hyperplasia.@*RESULT@#The mean optical density of Msx2 in SNIP and SNIP with carcinoma tissues were 0.2183 +/- 0.0598 and 0.2521 +/- 0.0761,which were significantly higher than 0.1878 +/- 0. 0372 in the INP tissue (P<0.05 or 0.01). The mean optical density of topo II-alpha in SNIP and SNIP with carcinoma tissues were 0.2303 +/- 0.0397 and 0.2666 +/- 0.0483, which were significantly higher than 0.1978 +/- 0.0388 in the NIP tissue (P<0.01). There were significant difference of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in SNIP between any two of the three groups divided according to pathological morphology (P<0.01 or 0.05). The expression of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in SNIP were positively correlated (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Msx2 and topo II-alpha may play an important role in the occurrence and development of SNIP. So it can be used as new therapeutic targets.
