Objective To study the CT and MRI characteristics of myxoid soft tissue tumours.Methods Fifty-three myxoid soft tissue tumours pathologically confirmed were retrospectively studied.MR and CT scan were performed before operation.Noncontrast T1 and T2 weighted images,fat-suppressed T2 weighted images were obtained before contrast-enhanced scan with fat-suppressed T1 weighted sequence was underwent.Plain and contrast-enhanced CT was performed with tube potential of 120 kV,matrix 512 × 512,and automatic tube current modulation technique.Results There were 18 myxoid liposarcoma,3 ganglioneuroma,8 myxofibrosarcoma,2 extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma,10 intramuscular myxoma,and 2 juxta-articular myxoma.Microscopic examination showed myxoid soft tissue tumours which were consisted of abundant myxoid stroma with tumour cells and blood vessels associated with fibrous bands.Low density in CT images,hypointensity in T1 weighted images,significantly hyperintense in T2 weighted images were their common manifestations in the area of abundance of extracellular myxiod matrix.Plain CT images demonstrated equidensite,T1 weighted images isointensity,and fat-suppressed T1 weighted images significant enhancement relatively in the areas of increased number of tumor cells.Hemorrhage,necrosis and capsule of the lesion were revealed in high grade malignant tumors.The septa can be identified in most of myxoid tumours of soft tissue.Conclusion CT and MRI can definitely show the image characteristics of myxiod soft tissue tumours,which can help make a qualitative diagnosis before operation.

Objective:To investigate the attentional bias for negative emotional facial expressions in major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods:Twenty MDD participants were selected from a larger pool of patients (n=35),diagnosed as depression with the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disorders Version 3 (CCMD-3),according to the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).And 20 non-depression control participants(NC)matched with MDD group on age,gender and education level.All participants completed an exogenous cueing task which consisted of two kinds of cue types(valid and invalid trial)and two kinds of face types(neutral faces and negative faces).Results:Patients with MDD showed more larger cue validity effect for negative faces compared with neutral faces(21.73 ms vs.3.91 ms,P<0.01).They showed a stronger attentional engagement for negative faces in comparison with non-depressed participants(17.25 ms vs.1.64 ms,P<0.001).The NC group directed attention away from negative faces,more rapidly disengaging their attention compared with MDD,but the differences showed no significant(-1.50 ms vs.0.57 ms,P>0.05).Conclusion:These results support the assumption that MDD is associated with attentional bias for negative information,and deficits protective bias for it.

Objective To investigate the relationship between multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging and tumor angiogenesis and cell cycle protein D1 (cyclinD1) expression in patients with peripheral lung cancer. Methods Seventy-three patients with peripheral lung cancer underwent 16-slice spiral CTperfusion imaging. The CT perfusion imaging were analyzed for time density curve (TDC), perfusion parametric maps and the respective perfusion parameters (BF, BV, PS, PH, and PHpm/PHa). Correlation between the respective perfusion parameters and immunohistochemical findings of MVD measurement and cyclinD1 expression were evaluated. Statistical method used one factor analysis of variance (One-wayANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis. Results The shape of TDC of three groups of peripheral lung cancers (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other type of cancer) was similar. They showed a steeper slope, was obvious increase of nodular HU value [ peak height of TDC is respectively (44. 87±6. 83), (34. 91 ± 8.05), (40. 66±5. 87) HU ], changed little after reaching peak height, became flat at peak, had a platform. Forty-four patients were cyclinD1 positive expression, the peripheral lung cancers with cyclinD1 positive expression showed significantly higher MVD value than that of the peripheral lung cancers with cyclinD1 negative expression [ respectively (33.88± 14. 81), (23. 17±11.66) band/high magnification, P < 0. 01]. The cancers with cyclinD1 positive expression showed significantly higher PH,PHpm/PHa, BF,BV, PS value than those of the cancers with cyelinD1 negative expression[respectively P <0. 05]. MVD was positively correlated with PH, PHpm/PHa, BF, BV, and PS of the three groups ofcancers with cyclinD1 positive expression. Among, the correlation coefficient (r value) of BV, PS, BF was0. 409, 0. 517,0. 503 respectively(all P < 0. 01). MVD was significantly correlated with them. The r valueof PH, PHpm/PHa is 0. 319,0. 324 respectively(all P < 0. 05). MVD was less correlated with them. MVDwas not correlated with PH, PHpm/PHa, BF, BV, and PS of the three groups of cancers with cyclinD1 negative expression. Conclusions Multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging moderately correlated with tumorangiogenesis and reflected MVD measurement and cyclinD1 expression. It provided not only a noninvasive method of quantitative assessment for blood flow patterns of peripheral lung cancer but also an applicable diagnostic method for peripheral lung cancer.
