Objective:To compare the quantitative parameters of lung HRCT and clinical manifestations of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5(MDA5)antibody-positive idiopathic inflammatory myopathy(IIM)patients with different prognoses.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 19 MDA5 antibody-positive IIM patients admitted to Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated with Capital Medical University between February 2017 and November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the prognoses,the patients were divided into the good prognoses group(14 cases)and the poor prognoses(intubation or death)group(5 cases).The clinical and laboratory indexes,types of interstitial lung disease(ILD),and CT quantitative indexes were compared between the two groups.Results:There were significant differences in gender;carcinoembryonic antigen;blood oxygen saturation;and the percentages of lymphocytes,monocytes,neutrophils,lymphocytes,and neutrophils between the good versus the poor prognoses groups.The proportion of abnormal respiratory system changes was higher in the poor prognoses group.In terms of the type of ILD,acute interstitial pneumonia(AIP)-like lesions were the main type in the poor prognoses group,and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia(AIP)lesions were the main type in the good prognoses group.For NSIP-like lesions,there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups.The semi-quantitative score of the poor prognoses group was higher,and the volume of whole lung lesions as well as the proportion of whole lung lesions were also higher.Spearman correlation analysis showed that the blood oxygen saturation,monocyte percentage,semi-quantitative score,whole lung lesion volume,and proportion of whole lung lesion were negatively correlated,while carcinoembryonic antigen,neutrophil percentage,and neutrophils were positively correlated with the semi-quantitative score,whole lung lesion volume,and proportion of whole lung lesion.Conclusions:The lung HRCT quantitative indicators,clinical manifestations,and laboratory indicators are different in MDA5 antibody-positive IIM patients with different prognoses.Early evaluation of HRCT imaging manifestations,clinical manifestations,and laboratory indicators is of great significance in determining the prognosis of MDA5 antibody-positive IIM patients,which provides corresponding support for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of thin-section chest computed tomography (CT) in the typing of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 134 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in our hospital’s Department of Infectious Diseases from December 20, 2022, to December 31, 2022. All patients underwent thin-section chest CT scan with complete clinical data. According to clinical classification, patients were divided into the non-severe and severe groups. Clinical data and imaging features of the two groups were compared and analyzed, and statistical analysis was conducted. Results: There was a statistically significant difference with respect to diabetes mellitus between the two groups, and the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the severe group (45.8%) was higher than that in the non-severe group (25.5%); There were no significant differences in sex, age, average course of disease, and clinical symptoms between the two groups; There were significant differences in the number of lesions, symmetrical distribution, predominant peripheral distribution, diffuse distribution, blurred edge, morphology of large flake and band, vascular bundle thickening, paving stone sign, arcade sign, and fried egg sign between the two groups, the number of lesions >10, diffuse distribution, morphology of large flake and band, vascular bundle thickening, paving stone sign, and arcade sign were more common in the severe group than in the non-severe group, while predominant peripheral distribution, blurred edge, and fried egg sign were more common in the non-severe group than in the severe group. Conclusions: Thin-section chest CT scan can identify the abnormal imaging manifestations of the lung in patients with COVID-19 and evaluate the number, distribution range, and morphological characteristics of the lesions. Combined background diseases, number, distribution characteristics, blurred edge, large flake and band morphology, vascular bundle thickening, paving stone sign, arcade sign, and fried egg sign can effectively indicate the classification of patients with COVID-19. This can provide imaging evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.

Objective: To investigate the imaging characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with diabetes mellitus using deep learning-based quantitative computed tomograpgh (CT) indicators. Materials and methods: The clinical and imaging data of 112 COVID-19 patients admitted to the Department of Infection, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from December 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic groups according to their diabetes history, and the clinical and quantitative CT imaging characteristics of the two groups were analyzed using univariate analysis. Results: A total of 112 patients with COVID-19, aged 26-95 years (mean, (70.4±14.4) years), were included in the study, and 44.6% (50/112 cases) were female. In terms of clinical features, C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher in the diabetic group. In terms of CT quantitative indicators, patients in the diabetic group had higher number of whole lung and left lung lesions, lesion volume, and mediastinal lymph nodes than patients in the non-diabetic group. In addition, patients in the diabetic group had a larger volume of ground glass opacity and solid opacity, and patients in the diabetic group had a smaller volume ratio of ground glass opacity and solid opacity in terms of imaging signs, patients in the diabetic group had a higher proportion of lesions with large patchy and banded patterns, and they had a higher proportion of halo signs, air bronchial signs, air trapping signs, mosaic perfusion signs, and subpleural black bands. Conclusion: Pulmonary lesions in patients with diabetes combined with COVID-19 have characteristic features, and deep learning-based quantitative CT indicators, particularly the solid opacity observed in the lungs, can provide valuable information on the extent and severity of lesions in these patients.
Objective: Objective: To explore and analyze the clinical features and chest thin-slice non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging features of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at initial diagnosis in a fever clinic. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 140 patients with COVID-19 at initial diagnosis in a fever clinic, including 101 and 39 cases in the moderate and severe and critical groups , respective-ly. Baseline, clinical characteristics, complete blood count + C-reactive protein (CBC+CRP), and chest thin-slice non-enhanced CT imaging characteristics of the patients were analyzed. Results: (1) The comparison between the moderate and severe and criti-cal groups showed that there were statistically significant differences in age (66.05±14.38 vs. 77.90±13.12,), course of initial diagnosis (5.40±3.81 vs. 3.97±3.12), SPO2 (97.88±1.73 vs. 92.92±4.01), and Tmax (38.32±0.66 vs. 38.68±0.63).(2) CT features between the two groups showed statistically significant differences in semi-quantitative volume (18.85±13.51 vs. 34.41±19.34). (3) The comparison between the moderate and severe and critical groups showed that there were statistically significant differ-ences in CRP (29.42±26.93 vs. 80.67±48.01), LYM (1.64±0.68 vs. 0.95±0.64), and NLR (3.48±2.46 vs. 9.36±10.42). (4) Six indicators, namely age, the course of initial diagnosis, SPO2, semi-quantitative volume, CRP, and LYM, were screened for multivariate logistic regression analysis. The result show that age (OR=1.090, 95%CI 1.006 ~ 1.181), semi-quantitative (OR=1.086, 95%CI 1.086 ~ 1.019), and SPO2 (OR=0.261, 95%CI 0.089 ~ 0.762), are related to the occurrence of severe and critical COVID-19 infection, and the difference is statistically significant; CRP (OR=1.054, 95%CI 1.023 ~ 1.087) and LYM (OR=0.039, 95%CI 0.04 ~ 0.391) are related to the occurrence of severe and critical COVID-19 infection, and the difference is significant statistically significant. Conclusion: Age, lower SPO2 and LYM, a shorter course; a higher Tmax, semi-quantitative volume, CRP, and NLR are associ-ated with severe and critical cases and required early identification.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: NLR and chest HRCT findings of 132 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the department of infectious diseases of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Capital Medical University from December 1, 2022 to February 1, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups with NLR cut-off value of 3.0, and their HRCT characteristics and imaging manifestation patterns were analyzed. For the measurement data of normal distribution, the t-test of continuous variables was used between the groups. The data of non-normal distribution are expressed as median and quartile and compared using Mann-Whitney U test. The counting data are expressed as frequency, and the chi-squared or Fisher's exact test was used for comparison between the groups. P<0.05 indicates that the difference is statistically significant. Results: The number of lesions ≤5 and the proportion of lesions ≤10% were higher in the low NLR group than that in the high NLR group. The number of lesions >10 and the proportion of lesions >50% were higher in the high NLR group than that in the low NLR group. The high NLR group was prone to mixed density shadow, crazy-paving pattern, mosaic sign, anti-halo sign, subpleural black belt, arcade-like sign than that in the low NLR group. The high NLR group was most likely to have nonspecific interstitial pneumonia-like, organizing pneumonia-like, and diffuse alveolar damage-like patterns than that in the low NLR group. Conclusion: Different NLRs have different manifestations of COVID-19 chest HRCT. The high NLR group is more prone to mixed density shadow, crazy-paving pattern, mosaic sign, anti-halo sign, subpleural black belt, and arcade-like sign, as well as most likely to have radiologic patterns of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, organizing pneumonia, diffuse alveolar damage.
