The comparison of anatomical and functional features between patients with ischemic with non-obstructive coronary artery disease and obstructive coronary artery disease by CT / 中华放射学杂志

Objective:To explore the difference of the vessel and plaque characteristics, myocardial perfusion and cardiac function between patients with ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:From July 2021 to June 2022, 101 patients with angina were referred to dynamic computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CTP) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and retrospectively included in our hospital. Based on the results of CTP and CCTA, patients were divided into INOCA (27 cases), moderate obstructive CAD (26 cases) and severe obstructive CAD (48 cases). The anatomical coronary artery stenosis, plaque characteristics and myocardial perfusion features of all patients were analyzed. Furthermore, left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global radial strain (GRS) were obtained on full-phase reconstruction CCTA image by using Medis Suite 3.2 postprocessing software. Multigroup analysis used one way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis H test. Results:Patients with INOCA were younger than patients with moderate and severe obstructive CAD ( P<0.001). INOCA patients (7.4%, 2/27) had lower rate of positive remodeling than both moderate (57.7%, 15/26, P<0.001) and severe obstructive CAD patients (33.3%, 16/48, P=0.017). The percentage of ischemic myocardium volume in patients with INOCA were similar with those in patients with severe CAD (all P>0.05), but significantly higher than those in patients with moderate CAD (all P<0.05). No significant difference in terms of GLS was detected between patients with INOCA [-17.4% (-21.6%, -11.6%)] and severe CAD [-17.6% (-21.9%, -14.8%), P=0.536], however, patients both with INOCA and severe CAD also had higher GLS than patients with moderate obstructive CAD [-22.3% (-29.8%, -19.0%), all P<0.05]. Conclusions:Based on"one-stop-shop"CTP combined with CCTA imaging, early cardiac functional changes including abnormal myocardial perfusion and myocardial strain in INOCA patients were similar to those in patients with severe obstructive CAD and more severe than those in patients with moderate obstructive CAD.

Clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of inner ear lesion / 中国基层医药

Objective To discuss the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of inner ear lesion.Methods 94 patients who took magnetic resonance imaging water imaging were selected as study subjects from February 2014 to October 2016 in Heilongjiang Province Hospital.All the patients had surgical data,CT,MRI water imaging data.Based on the standard data of surgery gold,analyzed the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of inner ear lesions,compared the statistical differences between the two methods of examination.Results The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of MRI water imaging in diagnosis of inner ear werehigher than CT,but the differences were no statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05).In the case of abnormal vestibular aqueduct (x2 =7.265,P =0.015),cochlear deformity (x2 =5.042,P =0.028),diagnostic accuracy of cochlear fibrosis (x2 =5.492,P =0.027),the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ O.05).Conclusion MRI water imaging can effectively provide the information of ear canal,eudometrial and other internal organs,can provide a favorable clinical diagnosis,it is worth to promote the application in the clinical work.

The expression and clinical significance of microRNA -22 in gastric cancer / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical value of miRNA -22 in gastric cancer tissues.Methods Real -time PCR was used to detect the miRNA -22 expression in gastric cancer tissues and matched adjacent tissues.The correlations of miRNA -22 expression with clinic pathological features were analyzed. Results 87.5%(77 /88)of the gastric tumor tissues showed aberrant down regulation of miRNA -22 compared with adjacent non -tumor tissues (χ2 =69.32,P 0.05 ). Conclusion The lower expression of miRNA -22 is associated with clinic pathological features.

Relationship between matrix metalloproteinases-9 and zonula occludens-1 expression and brain edema in rats with hepatic en-cephalopathy / 中国医师杂志

Objective To study the effect of MMP-9 and ZO-1 expressions on the brain edema in rats with hepatic encepha -lopathy.Methods Ninety rats were randomly divided into two groups .In one group, rats were intraperitoneal of D -galactosamine (400mg/kg) with lipopolysaccharide(100μg/kg) to induce hepatic encephalopathy , and then observe the symptom.12 hours later, ammonia, the evans blue(EB)content, the brain water content and the MMP -9 mRNA and the ZO-1 mRNA in the brain tissue was as-sessed by real-time Q-PCR.Results Two hours later the rats in hepatic encephalopathy groups begin to appear the symptom .12 hours later, the ammonia, the EB content, the brain water content and the MMP -9 mRNA content of the hepatic encephalopathy groups was increased significantly[(279.53 ±9.78)μmol /L vs (33.85 ±1.50)μmol/L, (6.71 ±0.50)μg/g vs (3.96 ±0.48)μg/g, (82.14 ±0.30)% vs (76.07 ±0.39)% and 1.4255 ±0.1131 vs 0.8298 ±0.0537, P <0.01],but the ZO-1 mRNA content was decreased (1.0795 ±0.0534 vs 1.4576 ±0.0654, P <0.01).Conclusions Blood brain barrier permeability enhancement and brain edema in hepatic encephalopathy rats, MMP-9 mRNA increase and ZO-1 mRNA decrease may play an important role .

Application of BLADE technique in MR abdomen scanning / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To investigate the advantages of BLADE technique in MR T2WI/TSE abdomen scanning. Methods 36 cases, which had obvious motion defects with conventional T2WI/TSE axial abdomen scanning because of psychology or disease, performed T2WI/BLADE/TSE scan with the same regions. Then the image quality was compared, and amendment of motion defects was reviewed. The equipment was SIEMENCE 3.0T scanner and phased-array coil. Results Motion defects of all images with T2WI/BLADE/TSE were attenuated with different degree compared with T2WI/TSE. All images with T2WI/BLADE/TSE satisfied the diagnostic demand. Conclusion The BLADE technique in abdomen scanning solves the difficult problem of impossible MR scan with uneven breath and trembling patients because of psychology or disease, and obtains good diagnostic imaging.

CT and MRI Manifestations of Primary Malignant Triton Tumor:A Report of 3 Cases with Review of the Literature / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To improve the understanding of malignant triton tumor on imaging findings.Methods CT and MRI findings of rare malignant triton tumor in 3 cases confirmed histologically were analysed with review of the literatures.Results 3 tumors included prostatic malignant triton tumor with pulmonary metastatic tumors and neurofibromatosis-I in 1 case,left haunch malignant triton tumor in 1 case and right maxillary sinus malignant triton tumor with destruction of maxillary sinus paries in 1 case.The imaging appearances of tumors were the huge soft tissue mass which strongly suggested malignant tumors,high signal intensity on T2WI,circular septa inside the tumors with low signal intensity.Conclusion Although the qualitative diagnosis of malignant triton tumor depends on pathological examination,CT and MRI play a useful role in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this tumors.
