RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the correlation between hematopoietic cell kinase (HCK) and the expression level of the mitochondrial ribosomal protein L13 (MRPL13) and hematopoietic multimode ultrasound.Methods:204 female breast cancer patients treated by surgery in Quzhou people’s Hospital from Jan. 2017 to Sep. 2020 were selected as study subjects. Breast cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were extracted intraoperatively. Preoperative conventional ultrasound, shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) were used to detect HCK and MRPL13 expression levels. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between multi-mode ultrasonic features and HCK and MRPL13.Results:The positive expression ratios of HCK and MRPL 13 in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues ( χ2 was 5.625, 7.197; P was 0.018, 0.007) . In conventional ultrasound features, the proportions of HCK-positive breast cancer patients with irregular mass edges, microcalcifications, and grade II to III blood flow classification were significantly higher than those of HCK-negative patients ( χ2 was 7.437, 16.684, 23.262; P was 0.006, <0.001, <0.001) ; The proportion of MRPL13-positive breast cancer patients with a maximum diameter of ≥2 cm, irregular edges of the tumor, and grade II-III blood flow classification was significantly higher than that of MRPL13-negative patients ( χ2 was 4.676, 11.118, 8.389; P was 0.031, 0.001, 0.004) . For SWE signs, the proportion of HCK positive breast cancer patients with hard ring sign was significantly higher than that of HCK negative patients ( χ2=11.220, P=0.001) ; the proportion of MRPL13 positive breast cancer patients with hard ring sign and black hole sign was significantly higher than that of MRPL13. Those who were negative ( χ2 was 4.482, 8.775; P was 0.034, 0.003) . Among CEUS characteristics, the proportion of HCK-positive patients with high enhancement was significantly higher than that of HCK-negative patients ( χ2=7.356, P=0.007) ; the proportion of MRPL13-positive patients with high enhancement and late regression was significantly higher than that of MRPL13-negative patients ( χ2 was 9.165, 7.631; P was 0.002, 0.006) . The results of binary logistic analysis showed that there was microcalcification ( OR=4.619, 95% CI=2.657-8.119, P=0.009) , blood flow classification II to III ( OR=4.150, 95% CI=2.547-7.954, P=0.015) and high enhancement of CEUS ( OR=4.150, 95% CI=2.547-7.954, P=0.015) are independent risk factors for positive expression of HCK; blood flow grade II to grade III ( OR=4.213, 95% CI=3.145-8.557, P=0.012) , appearance of black hole sign ( OR=5.246, 95% CI=2.864-10.378, P<0.001) and high enhancement of CEUS ( OR=3.872, 95% CI=1.887~6.438, P=0.026) were the independent risk factors for the positive expression of MRPL13. Conclusion:The multimodal ultrasonographic features of breast cancer are helpful to predict the expression levels of HCK and MRPL13, so as to provide new imaging ideas for early diagnosis of breast cancer, the designation of treatment options and the preoperative non-invasive assessment of breast cancer prognosis.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the functional connections of the whole brain and the two hemispheres in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).Methods:Twenty-six patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(patients group) and thirty-seven healthy controls matched in gender, age and education(control group) were enrolled.All the participants accepted the resting-state functional magnetic resonance (rs-fMRI) scan.Based on DPABI and REST software, degree centrality (DC) and voxel - mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) approaches were used to explore the pattern of functional connection in OCD.Results:Compared with the control group, the DC values in the right posterior cerebellar lobe(MNI: x, y, z=45, -87, -12), left precentral gyrus(MNI: x, y, z=-54, 9, 39), left inferior parietal lobule(MNI: x, y, z=-48, -51, 42), right anterior cingulate cortex(MNI: x, y, z=3, 18, 48) were significantly higher( t values were 5.75, 5.26, 5.28 and 5.16, respectively), and the DC values in the left inferior frontal gyrus(MNI: x, y, z=-36, 9, 30) were significantly lower( t value was -6.65) in patients group.The VMHC values in bilateral posterior cerebellar lobe(MNI: x, y, z=±51, -69, -33), bilateral inferior parietal lobule(MNI: x, y, z=±48, -51, 54), bilateral anterior cingulate cortex(MNI: x, y, z=±3, 21, 45)in patients group were significantly higher that those in control group( t values were 5.19, 5.19, 5.02, 5.02, 5.15 and 5.15, respectively). The DC and VMHC values in patients group were not significantly correlated with clinical symptoms(-0.23< r<0.19, P>0.05). Conclusion:OCD patients have abnormal connections between key brain network nodes and relevant brain regions, and functional connections have increased among multiple cerebral hemispheres.
RESUMEN
Objective To measure mitral annual displacement (MAD) by M-mode echocardiography in normal second and third trimester fetuses,and assess relationships between MAD and gestational age and routine echocardiographic parameters for evaluation of left ventricular function.Methods One hundred fifty-five normal fetuses from 19 to 38 weeks of gestation were recruited in the study.MVD and tricuspid annual displacement (TAD) were measured.Early diastolic inflow velocities (E) of the atrioventricular valves were assessed by pulsed-wave Doppler(PW),and early diastolic velocities (Em) of the mitral annular were estimated by pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).The ratio of E/Em was calculated.Results In normal fetuses,the MAD was (7.05 ± 1.17) mm.There was significant positive correlation between the fetal MAD and advancing gestational age ( r =0.82,P ＜0.01 ),and between MAD and E,A,Em,Am or Sm ( r =0.25,0.24,0.32,0.29 and 0.40 respectively,P ＜0.01).There was no correlation between fetal MAD and E/A,E/Em,LVEF or LVFS.The left MAD was significantly lower than the right TAD ( P ＜0.01 ).Conclusions MAD of fetuses from 19 to 38 weeks of gestation can be quantitatively measured by Mmode echocardiogram.The measurement of MAD provides a reliable quantitative standard to estimate long axis ventricular function of fetuses,which may be clinically useful in prenatal detecting early cardiac failure.
