RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma. Methods Seventy-four soft tissue tumors patients having underwent plain and enhanced MRI scans were selected. A retrospective case-control study was conducted to compare the demographic and MRI characteristics between 32 cases of soft tissue sarcoma and 42 cases of benign soft tissue tumor. The examined MRI characteristics included lesion location, morphology, size, signal uniformity, intratumoral sign, sign outside the tumor and intensity pattern, et al. The MRI characteristics were compared between 2 groups. Results The 32 patients with soft tissue sarcoma included 7 cases with lipoblastoma, 5 cases with pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, 5 cases with fibrosarcoma, 5 cases with synovial sarcoma 5 cases, 4 cases with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberant, 2 cases with low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, 2 cases with alveolar soft part sarcoma, 1 case with leiomyosarcoma, and 1 case with histiocytic sarcoma. The 42 patients with benign soft tissue tumor included 15 cases with neurilemmoma, 9 cases with angioma, 8 cases with neurofibroma, 6 cases with lipoma, and 4 cases with angiolipoma. After controlling for the potential confounding effects of sex and age, whether there was high signal on T2WI and whether the tumor boundary was clear can help for distinguishing soft tissue sarcoma and benign tumor. The occurrence of high signal on T2WI was a risk factor for soft tissue sarcomas ( OR=25.05, 95% CI 4.04 to 155.28), and tumors whose boundaries were less clear ( OR=18.84, 95% CI 2.98 to 118.99) and unclear ( OR=26.59, 95% CI 3.79 to 186.71) were more likely to be soft tissue sarcomas compared to those with clear boundaries. Conclusions The MRI characteristics of soft tissue sarcomas can be used for accurate diagnosis of the tumors before treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV) on the prognosis of infants with recurrent apenea of premature(AOP) for 12 months of correcting gestational age,thus to provide reference for the treatment of AOP.Methods The premature infants with recurrent AOP of the neonatal intensive care unit were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method.The observation group was treated with NIPPV,the control group was treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP).All living premature infants were followed up for early intervention,hearing,visual acuity,physical and mental development after hospital discharge.Neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) was given to the premature infants at the corrected gestational age of 40 weeks and 42 weeks,CDCC was used to test of the corrected gestational age of 1 year old,and the mental retardation,cerebral palsy,hearing impairment,severe deafness,blindness were assessed and compared.Results 123 cases were selected,including 2 cases were abandoned in the treatment,7 cases died(4 cases died during hospitalization,3 cases died after hospital discharge),5 cases were lost following up after hospital discharge,12 cases were treated with poor compliance,the actual research subjects were 97 cases,51 cases in NIPPV group,46 cases in NCPAP group.In NIPPV group,the NBNA score more than 35 points of 40 weeks and 42 weeks were in 38 cases(74.5％),47 cases(92.2％) respectively,which in NCPAP group were respectively in 28 cases(60.9％),37 cases (80.4％).There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (t =14.786,4.149,all P ＜ 0.05).In NIPPV group,MDI score ＜ 80 points,PDI score ＜ 80 points,mental retardation,cerebral palsy were respectively in 7 cases (13.7 ％),6 cases (11.8％),3 cases (5.9％),1 case (2.0％),which in NCPAP group were respectively in 15 cases(32.6％),14 cases(30.4％),8 cases(17.4％),5 cases(10.9％),there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2 =10.040,9.765,5.944,6.663,all P ＜ 0.05).In NIPPV group,the hearing impairment,very severe deafness,blindness were respectively in 2 cases (3.9％),0 cases (0.0％),0 cases(0.0％),which in NCPAP group were respectively in 7 cases(15.2％),2 cases(4.3％),2 cases (4.3％),there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2 =7.037,4.082,4.082,all P ＜0.05).Conclusion NIPPV in the treatment of premature infants with recurrent AOP has a certain improvement in prognosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the imaging findings and key diagnostic points of Brunner’s gland adenoma on CT.Methods The CT imaging findings and pathological features of 9 cases of Brunner’s gland adenoma confirmed by pathology were retrospec-tively analyzed,including the lesions number,site,size,shape,margin,density and the enhancement pattern.Results Of the 9 ca-ses,1 case located in the antrum and 8 cases in the duodenaum [6 cases in the duodenal bulb (75%)and 2 in the papillary (25%)]. Of the 6 cases of duodenal lesions,3 were found at the anterior wall and 3 at the posterior wall.Except 1 case which complicated with enteritis and had an obscure margin,the other 8 cases were clear margined ,and were round or nodular in shape.The maximum size of tumors ranged 1 5-68 mm in diameters (mean 35.0 mm ± 1 6.2 mm).The density of tumors was homogeneous on CT scan without necrosis or hemorrhage.In the arterial phase after administration of contrast agent,the lesions were similar to the adjacent intestinal wall enhancement,and mucosal annular enhancement (halo sign)showed in 6 cases,and the dot-shape non-enhancement area within the lesion (black star sign)showed in 5 cases,and the thickening or tortuous enhanced blood vessel showed in 6 cases.In the venous phase,9 cases were progressive enhancement,and the “black star sign”or “the black line sign”showed more clearly in 5 cases.In the pathology,the lesions were polypoid-like,solid or cystic.Under the microscope,the hyperplasic Brunner’s glands were covered with normal duodenal mucosa and separated by bundles of smooth muscle cells with dilated duct,cyst,and adipose cells,1 case with atypical hyperplasia of the glandular epithelium and 1 case with ectopic pancreas.Conclusion There are some spe-cific CT imaging features in Brunner’s gland adenoma,which is of important clinical value in accurate preoperative diagnostic.
