ABSTRACT

Cervical lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer is closely related to the disease recurrence and prognosis of patients. Accurate judgment of lymph node metastasis is vital for tumor stage and treatment in patients with thyroid cancer, which can effectively improve the prognosis of patients. However, preoperative detection of cervical lymph node metastasis is the key points and difficulties in individualized treatment of thyroid cancer. Currently, fine needle aspiration washout fluid thyroglobulin is often used to assess cervical lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid cancer preoperatively, and it has a higher diagnostic efficacy. The continuous exploration and application of tumor markers and emerging biomarkers have provided new perspectives for the preoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer. As a new non-invasive detection technique, liquid biopsy is convenient to obtain samples and has broad clinical application in early diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer. In addition, the analysis and application of liquid biopsy biomarkers will help the development of clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies, and provide the possibility of early precision therapy for thyroid cancer patients. This review summarizes current research surrounding the molecular markers related to cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) or serological models used alone or in combination in determining the stage of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 327 patients with chronic hepatitis B who were admitted to Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from August 2020 to August 2022 and underwent 2D-SWE and liver histopathological examination, including sex, age, serological markers, and 2D-SWE results. According to the degree of liver fibrosis, they were divided into S0-S1, S≥2, S≥3, and S=4 groups, and the serological models were calculated based on serological markers. A Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of 2D-SWE and serological models with liver fibrosis stage; the receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted with the results of liver histopathology as the standard to compare the efficiency of each parameter used alone or in combination in determining the stage of liver fibrosis; the Delong test was used to investigate the difference between different methods. ResultsLiver stiffness measurement measured by 2D-SWE was strongly correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis (r=0.741, P<0.001), and as for the serological model, six markers (APRI, FIB-4, GPR, GP, RPR, and S index), other than AAR, were positively correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis (all P<0.001). 2D-SWE had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.878, 0.932, and 0.942, respectively, in the diagnosis of S≥2, S≥3, and S=4 liver fibrosis (all P<0.001), with an optimal cut-off value of 6.9 kPa, 7.9 kPa, and 9.4 kPa, respectively. Among the serological models, APRI had the largest AUC of 0.788 and 0.875, respectively, in the diagnosis of S≥2 and S=4 liver fibrosis, and S index had the largest AUC of 0.846 in the diagnosis of S≥3 liver fibrosis. In the diagnosis of S≥2, S≥3, and S=4 liver fibrosis, 2D-SWE combined with APRI increased the AUC values to 0.887, 0.938, and 0.950, respectively, and 2D-SWE combined with S index increased the AUC values to 0.879, 0.935, and 0.941, respectively, while there were no significant differences between 2D-SWE and the above combinations (P>0.05). Conclusion2D-SWE has a better diagnostic efficacy than the above seven serological models in determining liver fibrosis stage. The serological models have a certain diagnostic value, among which APRI and S index have a relatively high diagnostic value. There is no significant difference between 2D-SWE and 2D-SWE combined with serological models, and such combinations cannot significantly improve diagnostic efficiency. Therefore, further studies are needed to explore new combinations of diagnostic methods.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the application value of ultrasound-guided multimodal examinations in the diagnosis of lymph node mycobacterial infection.Methods:The clinical data of 42 patients with suspected lymph node mycobacterial infection who were initially diagnosed at the Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent an ultrasound-guided lymph node-negative pressure puncture. Acid-fast staining, bacterial culture, pathological examination or their combination were used to screen lymph nodes for mycobacterial infection. The results were compared with those of acid-fast staining and bacterial culture of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid smears.Results:The combined application of acid fast staining, bacterial culture, and pathological examination for the puncture fluid smear showed a positive rate of 71.4% (30/42), which was significantly higher than the positive rate [26.2% (11/42)] for acid fast staining of the puncture fluid smear, the positive rate [42.9% (18/42)] for bacterial culture of the puncture fluid, and the positive rate [50.0% (21/42)] of pathological examination ( χ2 = 17.20, 7.00, 4.04, P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P = 0.040). The positive rate for sputum smear and bacterial culture was 21.4% (9/33). The positive rate for acid fast staining and bacterial culture of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was 28.6% (12/30). The differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 21.11, 15.43, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided negative pressure aspiration and puncture biopsy of lymph nodes combined with acid fast staining, bacterial culture, and pathological examinations can markedly increase the detection rate and diagnostic rate of mycobacterial infection.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To assess the diagnostic utility of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) combined with BRAF V600E gene mutation detection for discerning benign from malignant thyroid isthmus nodules classified as thyroid imaging report and data system (TI-RADS) 4a and 4b. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 48 patients with thyroid nodules of TI-RADS 4, who underwent surgical confirmation and pathological diagnosis at Jiaozuo People's Hospital between October 2019 and June 2022. Using surgical and pathological outcomes as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of FNA cytopathology, BRAF V600E gene mutation detection, and the combined approach were individually evaluated for benign and malignant thyroid nodules of TI-RADS 4. Results:The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed the diagnostic values of FNA, BRAF V600E gene mutation detection, and their combined use in predicting the benignancy or malignancy of thyroid isthmus nodules. For TI-RADS 4a nodules, the areas under the curves were 0.876 for FNA, 0.852 for BRAF V600E gene mutation detection, and 0.952 for the combined approach. For TI-RADS 4b nodules, the areas under the curves were 0.850, 0.858, and 0.908, respectively. The P-values were 0.010, 0.016, and 0.002 for TI-RADS 4a nodules, and 0.006, 0.005, and 0.001 for TI-RADS 4b nodules. Notably, the combined approach demonstrated larger areas under the curves compared with individual applications. Conclusion:The combined use of FNA and BRAF V600E gene mutation detection enhances the diagnostic accuracy for thyroid isthmus nodules classified as TI-RADS 4a and 4b, as reflected by an increased area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To Explore the value of prolonging compression hemostasis time in reducing bleeding related complications after ultrasound guided percutaneous renal biopsy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 405 patients who underwent ultrasound guided percutaneous renal biopsy at the Guangzhou First People′s Hospital. Three groups were divided based on whether to immediately compress and stop bleeding after renal biopsy and the compression time. The group A was treated with no compression and stop bleeding, the group B was treated with compression and stop bleeding for 2 minutes, and the group C was treated with compression and stop bleeding for 5 minutes. The patient′s gender, age, preoperative blood pressure, coagulation, hemoglobin, platelets, and other indicators were recorded. The number of punctures and the immediate postoperative perirenal hematoma and bleeding at the puncture site were recorded. The perirenal hematoma and gross hematuria were re-examined 24 hours after surgery.Results:Compared with the group A and the group B, the incidence of postoperative bleeding related complications in the group C was lower. The incidence of perirenal hematoma 24 hours after surgery in the group A was 62.09%, the group B was 62.50%, and the group C was 44.09%, with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.003); The incidence of gross hematuria 24 hours after surgery in the group A was 8.79%, the group B was 7.29%, and the group C was 1.57%, with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.030). The incidence of immediate postoperative perirenal hematoma in the group A was 52.20%, 53.12% in the group B, and 38.58% in the group C, with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.033). Conclusions:Immediate compression hemostasis for 5 minutes after ultrasound guided percutaneous renal biopsy can effectively reduce postoperative perirenal hematoma and gross hematuria, alleviate postoperative pain, shorten bed rest time, and improve surgical safety.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between renal ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and renal biopsy pathology in patients with primary glomerulonephritis (PGN).Methods:A total of 137 confirmed PGN patients admitted to Bin hai wan Central Hospital of Dongguan from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects for quantitative analysis of renal SWE and pathological examination of renal biopsy. The differences in renal elastic modulus among different pathological types, as well as the relationship between renal elastic modulus and pathological factors of renal biopsy and IgA nephropathy Lee grading, were analyzed.Results:IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and minimal degenerative glomerulopathy were the most common pathological types of PGN, and the difference in renal elastic modulus among the three was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The maximum elastic modulus of the immune complex deposition positive group was greater than that of the negative group ( P<0.05). The average, median, and maximum elastic modulus of the group with severe degree of foot cell fusion were lower than those of the group with mild degree of foot process fusion (all P<0.05). The average and maximum values of elastic modulus in the group with mesangial eosinophil deposition were higher than those in the group without mesangial eosinophil deposition (all P<0.05), while the maximum value of elastic modulus in the group with pericystic fibrosis was lower than that in the group without pericystic fibrosis ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the renal elastic modulus values among the Lee grading subgroups of 61 IgA nephropathy cases (all P>0.05), and there was no correlation between Lee grading and renal elastic modulus values ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation analysis between the renal elastic modulus value and the glomerular sclerosis rate, the degree of mesangial cell and matrix proliferation, and the percentage of renal tubular atrophy area (all P>0.05). Conclusions:SWE is expected to provide new imaging diagnostic indicators for monitoring pathological damage factors in PGN. SWE may not be able to efficiently monitor the pathological progression of IgA nephropathy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the consistency between modified 12+ X prostate biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound and postoperative Gleason score in prostate cancer patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 312 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent radical resection at Zhongshan People′s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. All patients underwent modified 12+ X prostate biopsy and prostate system biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound before surgery. Using the Gleason score of postoperative pathological specimens as the " gold standard", the detection rates of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer using modified 12+ X prostate biopsy and prostate system biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound were compared, and the consistency between the two methods alone or in combination and postoperative Gleason score was compared.Results:Among 312 patients, the positive detection rate of the improved 12+ X puncture biopsy combined with the system puncture biopsy was significantly higher than that of the individual detection (95.51% vs 80.77% vs 76.92%), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The improved 12+ X puncture biopsy combined with system puncture biopsy showed a clinically significant higher detection rate of prostate cancer in positive patients compared to the two tests alone (94.63% vs 77.78% vs 80.00%), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer among patients who missed diagnosis, either alone or in combination with biopsy ( P>0.05). The upgrade rate of Gleason score after prostate improvement 12+ X puncture biopsy (25.00%) was significantly lower than that of prostate system puncture (44.17%), which was significantly higher than combined puncture biopsy (11.74%), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). After 312 patients received combined puncture biopsy, urinary retention was found in 14 cases (4.49%), hematuria in 30 cases (9.62%), fever in 28 cases (8.97%), and blood in stool in 18 cases (5.77%). After symptomatic treatment, they basically improved within 3 days after puncture. Conclusions:The combination of modified 12+ X prostate biopsy with systematic biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound can improve the detection rate of prostate cancer, and has good consistency with the postoperative Gleason score of prostate cancer patients, which has good clinical application value.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the independent influencing factors of Gleason group upgrading (GGU)after radical prostatectomy (RP) of localized prostate cancer based on 2014 International Society of Urologic Pathology (ISUP)grouping system, then establish an effective prediction model.Methods:The study included 48567 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy from the surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) database. The age was (61.1±7.0) years, including 39 014 cases (80.3%), 7 063 cases (14.5%), 2 331 cases (4.8%), and 159 cases (0.3%) of White, Black, Asian or Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native. PSA<4 ng/ml, 4-10 ng/ml, 11-19 ng/ml, ≥20 ng/ml were 6 545 cases (13.5%), 35 007 cases (72.1%), 5 578 cases (11.5%), 1 437 cases (3.0%) respectively. Percent positive cores (PPC)≥33% were 24 743 cases (50.9%). Gleason group of biopsy specimen: G1 18 971cases (39.1%), G2 18 446 cases (38.0%), G3 7 093 cases (14.6%), G4 4 057 cases (8.4%). Simple random sampling was assigned to the cases, divided them into training cohort and internal validation cohort according to the ratio of 7∶3. 67 patients with localized prostate cancer who treated in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during January 2017 to December 2021 were set as external validation cohort. All these cases were Asian with Chinese nationality, age(66.4±10.3) years. PSA<4 ng/ml, 4-10 ng/ml, 11-19 ng/ml, ≥20 ng/ml were 13 cases (19.4%), 32 cases (47.8%)16 cases (23.9%), 6 cases (9.0%) respectively. PPC≥33% were 38 cases (56.7%). Gleason group of biopsy specimen: G1 18 cases (26.9%), G2 23cases (34.3%), G3 12 cases (17.9%), G4 14 cases (20.9%). The independent predictors of GGU were analyzed by logistic regression analysis, and the nomogram for predicting GGU were established. Then, the performance of nomograms was internally and externally validated via area under curve (AUC) and the calibration curve.Results:There were 8 716 cases (25.6%), 3 677 cases (25.2%) and 24 cases (35.8%) with GGU in the training group, internal validation group and external validation group, respectively. Logistic regression showed Gleason group of biopsy specimen (G2: OR=0.164, P<0.01; G3: OR=0.073, P<0.01; G4: OR=0.087, P<0.01), PSA (4-10 ng/ml: OR=1.550, P<0.01; 11-19 ng/ml: OR=2.084, P<0.01; ≥20 ng/ml: OR=2.664, P<0.01), age (60-69 years: OR=1.292, P<0.01; ≥70 years: OR=1.550, P<0.01), PPC (≥33%: OR=1.334, P<0.01) and race (Asian or Pacific Islander: OR=1.266, P<0.01) were independent influencing factors for GGU. The predicting model, was established according to Gleason group of biopsy specimen, PSA, age and PPC. The AUC of the model in the training cohort, the internal validation cohort and the external validation cohort were 0.759, 0.757 and 0.747 respectively. The calibration curves of the three cohorts were close to the ideal line and showed good consistency. Conclusions:Gleason group of biopsy specimen, PSA, age, PPC and race are independent influencing factors for GGU after RP of localized prostate cancer. G. P.A.P. model can effectively predict the risk of GGU after RP of localized prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT

This article reports a case of Fournier gangrene after transrectal biopsy of the prostate. A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for dysuria. The preoperative diagnosis was bladder stones and suspicious prostate cancer. During the same time, the patient underwent transurethral holmium laser lithotripsy and transrectal prostate biopsy. Fournier gangrene occurred on the second day after the operation. After active treatment such as upgraded antibiotics and debridement of the scrotum and perineum, the condition was controlled. The perineal wound healed 2 months later without secondary suture. Perioperative transurethral examination should be avoided during transrectal prostate biopsy. To avoid delayed diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to improve the understanding of postoperative complications of Fournier's gangrene.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the best operation mode for percutaneous renal biopsy guided by real-time abdominal mode ultrasound, to increase the puncture success rate, and avoid serious complications using safe and effective renal puncture biopsy.Methods:A total of 44 patients with renal disease who received treatment in Ji'an Central People's Hospital from November 2019 to March 2022 were included in this study. According to the puncture location on the right kidney, these patients were divided into a control group (lower pole of the right kidney, n = 22) and an observation group (middle and lower pole of the right kidney, n = 22). A percutaneous renal biopsy was performed from the back to the right side of the spine under the guidance of abdominal mode ultrasound with an L9 superficial probe. General data, the number of punctures, the length of the safe puncture path, the maximum length of the tissue strip subjected to biopsy, the proportion of endothelial medulla in the tissue strip, the number of glomeruli, and the incidence of complications of perirenal hematoma were compared between the two groups. Results:All 44 patients succeeded in sampling, with a 100% success rate. A total of 7-32 glomeruli were obtained. A pathological diagnosis was made in all 44 patients. There were no significant differences in age, body mass, or medical history between the two groups (all P > 0.05). There were significant differences in the maximum length of renal tissue strip subjected to biopsy [(15.55 ± 1.75) mm vs. (11.45 ± 2.46) mm] and the number of glomeruli in renal tissue strip subjected to biopsy [(18.00 ± 6.12) vs. (11.32 ± 2.38)] between the two groups ( t = 6.20, 4.66, both P < 0.05). The difference in the incidence of complications of perirenal hematoma after percutaneous renal biopsy differed greatly between the two groups [100.0% (22/22) vs. 27.2% (6/22), χ2 = 3.86, P = 0.001]. No serious complications occurred in each group. There were no significant differences in the length of the safe puncture path, the number of punctures, or the proportion of endothelial medulla in tissue strips subjected to biopsy between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:L9 superficial probe abdominal mode real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy from the inside out has a good application value, a high puncture success rate, is safe and reliable, and yields a satisfactory pathological diagnosis. Percutaneous renal puncture biopsy of the middle and lower poles of the right kidney under the abdominal lobe has a higher pathological diagnostic value and is safer than percutaneous renal puncture biopsy of the lower pole of the right kidney.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Studies based on kidney biopsies are important for the epidemiological understanding of nephropathies. Objective: To describe the main nephropathies diagnosed through renal biopsies, and compare them with regards to gender, time, healthcare insurance and age. Methods: A population-based retrospective study that reviewed all kidney disease diagnoses obtained by biopsy of a native kidney from pathology services between 2008 and 2019 in Joinville, Brazil. Results: Of 778 biopsies performed, 44.5% were primary nephropathies and 28.5% were secondary. The highest prevalence was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) [18.1%], followed by tubulointerstitial nephropathy (TIN) [15.9%] and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) [9.1%]. There was a growing increase in the prevalence of TIN among elderly and uninsured patients over the period. In the multivariate analysis, among the primary glomerulopathies, males had a higher risk for the occurrence of IgAN [OR=2.02; 95% CI 1.13-3.61; p=0.018], as well as being a protective factor for the occurrence of lupus glomerulonephritis (LGN) [OR=0.20, 95% CI 0.08-0.49; p<0.001]. Advancing age and dependence on a public healthcare decreased the likelihood of having a diagnosis of LGN [OR=0.91, 95% CI 0.88-0.94, p < 0.001 and OR=0.45, CI 95 % 0.21-0.96; p = 0.036, respectively]. Patients without private healthcare insurance were more likely to have TIN [OR=1.77, 95%CI 1.16-2.70; p = 0.008]. Conclusion: Sex, age and type of medical healthcare insurance may be related to the occurrence of some nephropathies. The increased risk of TIN in individuals without a private healthcare plan may be an indication of inequalities in health care.


Resumo Introdução: Estudos com base em biópsias renais são importantes para o entendimento epidemiológico das nefropatias. Objetivo: Descrever as principais nefropatias diagnosticadas por meio de biópsias renais e comparar com relação ao gênero, período, plano de saúde e à idade. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de base populacional que revisou todos os diagnósticos de doenças renais obtidos por biópsia de rim nativo de serviços de patologias entre 2008 a 2019, em Joinville, Brasil. Resultados: Do total de 778 biópsias realizadas, 44,5% eram nefropatias primárias e 28,5%, secundárias. A maior prevalência foi de glomeruloesclerose segmentar e focal (GESF) [18,1%], seguida por nefropatia tubulointersticial (NTI) [15,9%] e nefropatia IgA (NIgA) [9,1%]. Houve crescente aumento da prevalência de NTI nos pacientes idosos e sem plano de saúde ao longo do período. Na análise multivariada, entre as glomerulopatias primárias, o sexo masculino apresentou maior risco para ocorrência de NIgA [OR=2,02, IC 95% 1,13-3,61; p=0,018], bem como foi um fator de proteção para ocorrência de glomerulonefrite lúpica (GNL) [OR=0,20, IC 95% 0,08-0,49; p < 0,001]. O avançar da idade e a dependência de plano público de saúde diminuíram a chance para o diagnóstico de GNL [OR=0,91, IC 95% 0,88-0,94, p < 0,001 e OR=0,45, IC 95% 0,21-0,96; p = 0,036, respectivamente]. Pacientes sem plano privado de saúde apresentaram mais chance de NTI [OR=1,77, IC 95%1,16-2,70; p = 0,008]. Conclusão: Sexo, idade e tipo de assistência médica podem estar relacionados à ocorrência de algumas nefropatias. O maior risco de NTI em indivíduos sem plano de saúde privado pode ser um indicativo de desigualdades no cuidado à saúde.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy guided by endobronchial ultrasound sheath (EBUS-GS-TBCB) in diagnosis of nonresolving pneumonias.Methods:Sixty patients with nonresolving pneumonias from March 2019 to July 2020 in Dalian Municipal Central Hospital were selected. The patients were divided into EBUS-GS-TBCB group (31 cases) and transbronchial forcep lung biopsy guided by endobronchial ultrasound sheath(EBUS-GS-TBLB) group (29 cases) by random digits table method.Results:The diagnostic rate of nonresolving pneumonias in EBUS-GS-TBCB group was significantly higher than that in EBUS-GS-TBLB group: 87.10% (27/31) vs. 65.52% (19/29), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 3.90, P = 0.048). There were no statistical difference in sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical difference inthe shortest distance from lesions to pleura, incidence of pneumothorax and incidence of bleeding between EBUS-GS-TBCB group and EBUS-GS-TBLB group: (27.42 ± 2.88) mm vs. (27.01 ± 2.37) mm, 6.45%(2/31) vs. 3.45%(1/29) and 22.58%(7/31) vs. 13.79% (4/29), P>0.05. Among the causes of nonresolving pneumonias, infectious factors accounted for 21.67% (13/60), non infectious factors accounted for 66.67% (40/60), and uncertain causes accounted for 11.67% (7/60). Conclusions:The diagnostic rate of EBUS-GS-TBCB in nonresolving pneumonias is significantly higher than EBUS-GS-TBLB, and the complications such as bleeding and pneumothorax do not increase significantly.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa) in patients with PI-RADS score 3.Methods:The data of 133 consecutive patients with the PI-RADS score 3 from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent 4-needle transperineal targeted biopsy and 12-needle systematic prostate biopsy (SB). The overall age was 66 (60-72) years, and the overall PSA value was 8.22 (5.95-11.41) ng/ml. All patients underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), and PI-RADS v2.0 score was 3. Patients were divided into two mutually exclusive groups: non CsPCa group and CsPCa group. The differences of lesion location, laterality, focality and sequence parameters of mpMRI between the two groups were compared, and multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of PI-RADS score 3 in patients with CsPCa.Results:Biopsy results showed 57 cases of prostate cancer, including 41 cases of CsPCa, and 76 cases of non-prostate cancer. The detection rate of prostate cancer was 46.62 %(57/133), and the detection rate of CsPCa was 30.83 %(41/133). There were 41 cases in CsPCa group and 92 cases in non CsPCa group. There was no significant difference between CsPCa group and non CsPCa group in age [66 (58-70) years vs. 66 (60-72) years], body mass index [24.22 (21.82-25.71) kg/m 2 vs. 23.71 (21.99-26.12) kg/m 2], PSA [9.39 (6.35-12.55) ng/ml vs. 7.67 (5.83-10.51) ng/ml], abnormal rate of rectal digital examination [21.95% (9/41) vs. 9.78% (9/92)] (all P > 0.05). There was significant difference in PSAD [0.40 (0.16-0.65) ng/ml 2 vs. 0.17 (0.12-0.24) ng/ml 2] ( P<0.05). In MRI, PI-RADS=3 lesions were mainly located in the transitional zone [46.62 %(62/133)]. In CsPCa group, MRI lesions were located in peripheral zone in 16 cases, transitional zone in 19 cases, and both areas in 6 cases. There were 16 cases on the right, 15 cases on the left and 10 cases on both sides. The lesions were diffused in 19 cases and localized in 22 cases. In the non CsPCa group, 41 lesions were located in the peripheral zone, 43 in the transitional zone, and 8 in both areas. There were 26 cases on the right, 35 cases on the left and 31 cases on both sides. The lesions were diffuse in 56 cases and localized in 36 cases. There was no significant difference in lesion location, side and diffusion degree between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Compared with the non CsPCa group, the positive rate of all MRI sequences in CsPCa group was higher (82.93% vs. 40.22%, P < 0.001), the positive rate of T2 weighted imaging (T2WI) was higher (92.68% vs. 75.00%, P = 0.018), the positive rate of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) was higher (90.24% vs. 56.52%, P < 0.001), the maximum diameter was larger[(0.67(0.30-1.19)mm vs. 0.48(0.20-0.62)mm, P < 0.001], and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was lower[0.70(0.61-0.87) vs. 1.10(0.86-1.50), P < 0.001]. Concurrently, PSAD and lesion ADC were important predictors of CsPCa in logistic regression model [mean 10 fold cross validation AUC: 0.78(95% CI 0.65-0.88)]. Conclusions:Most of the MRI lesions in patients with PI-RADS 3 were located in the transitional zone, and the MRI lesions in CsPCa were more obvious and diffusion limited. PSAD and ADC values are independent predictors for the diagnosis of CsPCa in patients with PI-RADS score 3, and the log 2PSAD-ADC prediction model is helpful to find CsPCa from patients with PI-RADS score 3 and protect patients from unnecessary biopsy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of CT and ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of lung or pleural lesions.Methods:The clinical data of 193 patients with lung space occupying lesions near the pleura who underwent CT or ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture in Shiyan People's Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University of Medicine from February 2017 to October 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the puncture mode, the patients were divided into CT-guided group ( n=115) and ultrasound-guided group ( n=78) . The general clinical data, pathological examination results, puncture success rate and complication rate were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used for univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Results:The detection rate of malignant tumors in the CT-guided group (60.00%, 69/115) was higher than that in the ultrasound-guided group (50.00%, 39/78) , with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=1.89, P=0.170) . The puncture success rate in the CT-guided group (88.70%, 102/115) was slightly lower than that in the ultrasound-guided group (93.59%, 73/78) , with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=1.32, P=0.251) . The incidence of postoperative complications in the CT-guided group (18.26%, 21/115) was higher than that in the ultrasound-guided group (6.41%, 5/78) , with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.60, P=0.018) . The incidence of pneumothorax in the CT-guided group (13.04%, 15/115) was higher than that in the ultrasound-guided group (3.85%, 3/78) , with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.65, P=0.031) . The incidence rate of bleeding in the CT-guided group (5.22%, 6/115) was higher than that in the ultrasound-guided group (2.56%, 2/78) , with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.82, P=0.364) . In the CT-guided group, 1 patient (0.87%) had severe bleeding requiring surgical treatment, 5 patients (4.35%) required closed thoracic drainage for treatment. In the ultrasound-guided group, no patients had pneumothorax or bleeding requiring drainage or surgery. Univariate analysis showed that the puncture method was an independent risk factor for the puncture success rate in patients with lesion-pleura contact arc length (LPCAL) ≥38 mm ( OR=7.82, 95% CI: 1.57-35.50, P=0.039) . Multivariate analysis showed that puncture method is an independent risk factor affecting the puncture success rate in patients with LPCAL≥38 mm ( OR=7.75, 95% CI: 1.44-41.36, P=0.042) . Among patients with LPCAL≥38 mm, the puncture success rates of CT- and ultrasound-guided puncture were 84.38% (54/64) and 98.00% (49/50) , respectively, and the puncture success rate of CT-guided puncture was lower than that of ultrasound-guided puncture, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.52, P=0.034) . In LPCAL<38 mm patients, the puncture success rates of CT- and ultrasound-guided puncture were 94.12% (48/51) and 85.71% (24/28) , respectively, and the CT-guided puncture success rate was higher than that of the ultrasound-guided puncture, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.71, P=0.399) . Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy of lung or pleural lesions has the advantages of high diagnostic rate and few complications. Both ultrasound-guided and CT-guided puncture biopsy are feasible methods for puncture of chest wall lesions. When LPCAL≥38 mm, ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy may have more advantages.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish and evaluate a new diagnostic model for significant liver tissue damage in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the immune tolerance phase.Methods:The clinical data of 275 chronic HBV infection patients in the immune tolerance phase who underwent liver biopsy from January 2015 to November 2020 in the Hwa Mei Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences were included. According to the liver pathological changes, patients were divided into <G2 group and ≥G2 group, <S2 group and ≥S2 group, non-significant liver pathological damage group (GS0 group, <G2+ <S2) and significant liver pathological damage group (GS1 group, G2 and/or ≥S2). The liver pathological changes and clinical features were analyzed to establish the diagnostic model. The prediction value of the model was compared. Statistical analysis was conducted by linear regression analysis, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity and specificity for the diagnostic value of the model were calculated.Results:Among 275 patients, 43 cases (15.64%) had liver histologic activity ≥G2, 30 cases (10.91%) with liver fibrosis ≥S2, and 55 cases (20.00%) with liver damage of GS1. The correlated independent risk factors associated with significant liver pathological damage were age, levels of hepatitis B e antigen, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, platelet count, alkaline phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase (all P<0.050). The diagnostic model of Y G/S was established according to these factors. The diagnostic efficacy of Y G/Swas highest for patients with liver histologic activity≥G2 and liver pathological damage GS1, with the areas under the curve of 0.783 and 0.811, respectively. The threshold of Y G/S was 0.18, with the sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value of 0.782, 0.736 and 93.10%, respectively. When Y G/S <0.05, the sensitivity, negative predictive value and negative likelihood ratio were 0.982, 97.96% and 0.08, respectively. When Y G/S≥0.25, the specificity and positive likelihood ratio were 0.905 and 5.14, respectively. When Y G/S≥0.30, the specificity and positive likelihood ratio were 0.959 and 9.33, respectively. Conclusions:Approximately 20.00% of patients with chronic HBV infection in immune tolerance phase have significant liver pathological damage. The diagnostic model of Y G/S (<0.05 or ≥0.30) has certain evaluation value for significant liver pathological damage, and could help these patients avoid liver biopsy to a certain extent.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) in patients with unexplained liver disease complicated with massive ascites or coagulopathy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed from patients underwent TJLB in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhoukou Central Hospital, Shangqiu First People's Hospital and Jincheng People's Hospital from March 2015 to January 2022 due to unexplained liver disease complicated with massive ascites or coagulopathy. A total of 37 patients were included, including 21 males and 16 females, aged (53.5±11.9) years. According to different puncture points, the patients were divided into two groups: transhepatic right vein TJBL and transhepatic middle vein TJBL. The obtained liver tissue sampling effect, puncture times, complications were analyzed.Results:The success rate of TJLB was 97.3%(36/37). Thirty-six patients were able to obtain more than three segments of liver tissue and obtain histological diagnosis, and the pathological diagnosis rate was 100.0%(36/36). The number of puncture times, the amount of hepatic tissue and the number of portal areas in the right hepatic vein group (21 cases) were (3.7±0.9), (3.7±0.7) and (6.5±0.9) respectively, and those in the middle hepatic vein group (15 cases) were (3.7±0.7), (3.7±0.7) and (6.3±0.8) respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:TJLB is safe and feasible for patients with unexplained liver disease complicated with massive peritoneal effusion and coagulopathy. Good liver tissue specimens can be obtained by TJLB from both right hepatic vein and middle hepatic vein.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop an online interactive cytopathological training program, and to evaluate it for improving the cytopathological diagnostic ability of endoscopists in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreas.Methods:A total of 5 500 cytopathological images were collected from 194 patients with pancreatic solid mass who underwent EUS-FNA in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from August 2018 to August 2019. The cell type in each cytopathological picture was labeled by senior cellular pathologists, which was used to build a learning and testing platform for online interactive cytopathological training. Five endoscopists without cytopathological background were invited to participate in this training. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of endoscopists in differential diagnosis of cancer and non-cancer before and after training were compared to evaluate the effect of the online interactive cytopathological training program on improving the ability of endoscopists in diagnosis of cytopathology.Results:A cytopathological training platform for endoscopists to learn and take online test was successfully built. Before training, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of diagnosis of cancer and non-cancer for endoscopists were 0.55 (95% CI: 0.53-0.58), 0.32 (95% CI: 0.30-0.35), 0.43 (95% CI: 0.41-0.45), 0.44 (95% CI: 0.41-0.47) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.42-0.45), respectively. After training, the above indicators were 0.96 (95% CI: 0.95-0.97), 0.70 (95% CI: 0.68-0.73), 0.74 (95% CI: 0.72-0.76), 0.95 (95% CI: 0.94-0.96) and 0.81 (95% CI: 0.80-0.83), respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those before ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The online interactive cytopathological training program can improve the understanding and diagnostic ability of endoscopists in pancreatic cytopathology, help to implement rapid on-site evaluation in the process of EUS-FNA, and improve the diagnostic efficiency of EUS-FNA.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the optimal core numbers in targeted prostate biopsy (TB).Methods:The clinical data of 138 patients with prostate cancer diagnosed by six needle trans-perineal TB combined with system biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2018 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Their age was (69.07 ± 7.97) years old, the PSA value was 9.15 (6.66, 12.95) ng/ml, the prostate volume was 35.01 (27.65, 43.27) cm 3and the PSA density was 0.25 (0.17, 0.36) ng/(ml ·cm 3). All patients accepted bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging examination and had regions of interests (ROIs) with prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) version 2.0 scores ≥ 3. The detective rate of prostate cancer (PCa), clinically significant PCa (CsPCa) and clinically insignificant PCa (CIPCa), along with the Gleason score upgrading rate after radical prostatectomy were compared between different numbers of prostate TB cores. Results:The detective rates for present PCa or CsPCa for the first 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-core TB were 74.64%(103/138), 85.51%(118/138), 94.20%(130/138), 98.55%(136/138) and 100.00%(138/138) compared with the total number of cores taken, respectively. The detective rates for CsPCa for the first 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-core TB were 67.52%(79/117), 77.78%(91/117), 88.89%(104/117), 93.16%(109/117) and 98.29%(115/117) compared with the total number of cores taken, respectively. Additionally, 20.72%(23/111) patients had Gleason score upgrade after RP. Compared with 6-core TB, the rates of postoperative upgrading for the first 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-core TB were 50.00%(44/88), 67.05%(59/88), 81.82%(72/88), 88.64%(78/88) and 95.45%(84/88), respectively. For the ROIs with PI-RADS score of 3, 4 and 5, the CsPCa detected by 5, 4 and 3 needles of TB were 95.00% (19/20), 94.92% (56/59) and 94.74% (36/38) respectively. Postoperative upgrading rates were 11.11% (2/18), 9.30% (4/43) and 7.41% (2/27) respectively.Conclusions:For ROIs with PI-RADS score of 3, 4 and 5, TB with 5, 4 and 3 cores respectively is enough to obtain higher diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.
