The present study aimed to evaluate the value of serum amyloid A (SAA) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and compared the efficacy of SAA and C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting the severity and recovery of COVID-19. A retrospective study was conducted on COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Wuhan No. 1 Hospital (Hubei, China) from January 21, 2020 to March 4, 2020. A two-way ANOVA analysis was used to compare the serum CRP and SAA levels between mild group and severe group during hospitalization days. Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between the serum CRP, SAA levels and treatment days in recovered patients. The Logistic regression analysis and the area under curve (AUC) were calculated to determine the probability for predicting the severity and recovery of COVID-19. The severe group displayed higher CRP and SAA levels compared with the mild group during hospitalization (P<0.001). Logistic regression indicated that SAA and CRP were independent risk factors for the severity of COVID-19. The corresponding AUC of CRP and SAA values for severity of COVID-19 were 0.804 and 0.818, respectively. Linear regression analysis revealed that CRP and SAA levels were negatively correlated with treatment days in recovered patients (r=-0.761, -0.795, respectively). Logistic regression demonstrated that SAA was an independent factor for predicting the recovery of COVID-19. However, CRP could not predict the recovery of COVID-19. The corresponding AUC of SAA for the recovery of COVID-19 was 0.923. The results of the present study indicated that SAA can be considered to be a biomarker for predicting the severity and recovery of COVID-19.
Objective This paper compared the Results between cardiac MSCT and echocardiography, to evaluate the left ventricular function using coronary CT angiography (CTA).Methods 43 patients [16 men, 27 women, range from 44~87, mean age (62.2±8.7)] were collected in this study. All patients underwent cardiac MSCT, echocardiography (EC) was taken within 48 h. The data were transferred to the postprocessor workstation, and left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (FS) were given automatically by cardiovascular software. The difference of EF and FS measured by the two Methods were compared. The correlation and concordance of Results between MSCT and echocardiography were also assessed.Results The Results of EF and FS for CTA and EC were (64.05±5.74)%, (60.81±4.6)% and (26.42±3.68)%, (31.16±3.66)%, respectively. There was a significant statistically difference in the EF and FS between the two Methods (t=6.94,P=0.000;t=-16.5,P=0.000). However, the EF and FS measured by CTA have better correlation and consistency with those measured by EC (r=0.85,P=0.000, bias 3.05% andr=0.87,P=0.000, bias 1.89%).Conclusion Application of coronary CTA is quick and convenient to measure the left ventricular function, and the measurement Results with EC has better correlation and consistency.
PurposeTo evaluate multislice spiral CT (MSCT) in diagnosing abdominal anaphylactoid purpura (AAP), and to explore its role in treatment follow-up.Materials and Methods Clinical and MSCT data of 13 patients with confirmed AAP were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent abdominal CT scan and thin layer reconstruction. Upper endoscopy was performed in 8 patients prior to treatment. MSCT was performed in 10 patients and endoscopy in 4 patients posttreatment, then clinical and CT features were compared to pretreatment findings.Results In pretreatment CT scan, single segment bowel involvement was found in 2 cases, multisegmental bowel involvement in 10 cases, and no positive finding in 1 patient. The duodenum and jejunum were involved in 8 patients and stomach in 5 patients. The diseased bowel wall showed swelling and thickening with decreased attenuation and homogeneous luminal narrowing with equivocal lining and "double loop" sign. Infiltration was found in 10 patients, small ascites in 3 patients. Patients were misdiagnosed as acute pancreatitis in 2 cases, acute cholecystitis, small bowel obstruction and peritonitis in 1 case respectively. Of 13 patients, five patients were cured, and the other 8 patients were improved. The clinical symptoms including rash, abdominal pain, occult blood, leukocytosis, vomiting, melena, urine occult blood were improved (χ2=5.59-18.33,P<0.05 orP<0.01). Post treatment CT showed significant improvement of bowel edema and infiltration (P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in change of ascites (P>0.05).Conclusion MSCT findings of AAP are nonspecific. CT diagnosis is difficult before skin rash. Combining CT characteristics of multisegmental bowel edema and clinical manifestations is helpful. CT examination can effectively follow up treatment response.
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT)for incisional hernia of ab-dominal wall before operations.Methods Thirty patients with incisional hernia in abdominal wall confirmed by the pathology were enrolled in this study.All patients underwent MSCT examination with sagittal and coronal MPRs,and 21 cases underwent ultra-sound (US)examinations.The value of transverse scan and MPRs & MSCT and US on demonstrating the number,location,con-tents of incisional hernia,and accompanying intestinal obstruction or other complications were retrospectively evaluated and com-paired.Results Of 30 cases,there were 40 hernias,the rate of MSCT and US in detecting incisional hernias were 97.5% and 56.0%, respectively.MSCT performed better than US on demonstrating the incisional hernias (P =0.000).On MSCT,there was no signif-icant difference in the detection for isolated incisional hernia between the MPRs and axial scans (P = 1.000 ).However,MPR showed a more accurate rate for two or multiple incisional hernias diagnosis (P =0.006),and the sagittal reconstruction displayed more correct than coronal reconstruction on two or multiple incisional hernias (P =0.01 9).Furthermore,MSCT can exactly reveal the complications of incisional hernias (7 cases of intestinal obstruction,5 cases of intestinal ischemia and edema,and 1 case of me-tastasis in incisional hernia),which were not detected by US.Conclusion MSCT can correctly demonstrate the incisional hernia of abdominal wall and its complication,it can provide important imaging reference for clinical therapy.
Objective:To assess the value of MRI in the diagnosis of placenta previa as well as accompanying placenta accreta.Methods:The clinical and imaging materials of 25 pregnant patients with placenta previa were included in this stud-y,the age ranged from 21~43y (mean,29.4±6.2y),the gestational age of the fetuses at the time of MRI ranged from 21~38w (mean,32.9±4.0w).All patients underwent MR and ultrasonography (US)before delivery.Taking pathology and the final clinical diagnosis during delivery as gold standard,the value of these two imaging modalities were compared and ana-lyzed.Results:Among the 25 pregnant women with placenta previa,there were central complete type (19 cases),partial type (3 cases)and marginal type (3 cases).MRI and US correctly diagnosed 20 cases and 18 cases respectively,with no signifi-cant statistic difference (P>0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of MRI and US for accompanying placenta accreta was 71.4%,66.7% and 72.7%,69.2%,respectively;the negative predictive value (NPV)and positive predictive value (PPV) was 76.9%,66.7% and 66.7%,69.2%,respectively.On MRI,the placenta accreta demonstrated partial loss of deciduum, focal thinness or absence of myometrium,nodular interface between placenta and uterus,heterogeneous signal intensities within placenta,bands of hypo-intensities within placenta on T2 WI,loss or diminish of the inter-space between placenta and bladder.Conclusion:MRI and US play an important role in the diagnosis of placenta previa and accompanying placenta accre-ta,they are complementary.
Objective To investigate the imaging feature of elbow joint synovial osteochondromatosis.Methods Fourteen cases of elbow joint synovial osteochondromatosis proved by surgery were collected in this study.The clinical manifestation and imaging findings were analyzed retrospectively.9 sides elbows performed X-ray film,and 6 elbows taken MSCT examination,and 1 elbow performed both X-ray film and MR imaging.Results In 14 cases,there were 10 male cases,4 female cases,and average age was 41.9 years.Unilateral elbow joint involved in 13 cases,bilateral elbow joint in 1 case,the right elbow joint in 12 cases,and the left in 3 cases.Multiple intra-articular calcification or nodules in round or oval could be found in all 9 cases on radiograph.The nodules appeared unequally in magnitude and amounts,uneven density,and presented ring or half ring of high-density.6 cases performed MSCT scan.The results showed bodies.Furthermore,loose bodies in concealed site which were negative on X-ray could be demonstrated on MSCT,as well as thickened synovial,cartilage erosion and the articular cavity effusion.Multiple nodules in elbow joint could be displayed in 1 case who performed MR examination,with the nodules in distinct border,medium or low signal intensity on T1WI,low signal intensity on T2WI.Synovial thickening,little effusion in articular cavity showed clearly on T2WI added STIR sequence.Conclusion The imaging feature of elbow joint synovial osteochondromatosis was typical.The diagnosis could be made if combined with patient′s history.
OBJECTIVE To explore the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and diagnostic value of special-site ectopic pregnancy. METHODS The MRI features of special-site ectopic pregnancy on 39 pathologically confirmed cases were retrospectively analyzed. All cases received ultrasonic inspection, MRI plain scan and 11 cases underwent enhanced scan. RESULTS In 39 cases, there were 3 cases of interstitial tubal pregnancy (n = 3), cornual pregnancy (n = 8) and uterine scar pregnancy (n = 28). The accuracy rates of location and diagnosis were 94.9% and 82.1% respectively. And they were both higher than the rates of ultrasound. They were classified into two groups by clinical outcomes:pregnancy and miscarriage. In 22 cases of pregnancy, there were sac in sac (n = 9) and complete fertilized egg (n = 13). In 17 cases of miscarriage, there were irregular honeycomb (n = 7), ring (n = 6) and mass (n = 4). Among 11 enhanced cases, there were significant enhancement (n = 4), flake or cord-like enhancement (n = 5), a little strengthen on edge (n = 1) and no enhancement (n = 1). The group had intrauterine decidual tissue hyperplasia (n = 22), ovarian cyst (n = 8), pelvic fluid (n = 6), adenomyosis (n = 3), fibroid (n = 2), endometriosis in pelvic and abdominal wall scar area (n = 1) and mild hydrops in right kidney and ureter (n = 1). CONCLUSION The MRI features of special-site ectopic pregnancy are characteristic and important for clinical treatment.
Purpose To investigate the MRI features of intraspinal primary primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Materials and Methods Six patients with pathology proven PNET were selected, all patients underwent MRI, five additionally underwent contrast enhancement. The location, size, morphological features, signal intensity, contrast enhancement characteristics, involvement of paraspinal soft tissues and adjacent bony structures of PNET were analyzed. Results Five of six cases in epidural region and one case in intradural extramedullary region. Six cases were single lesions with relatively well-defined margin, it appeared lobulate (n=3), stripped and rod-like (n=3). The lesions demonstrated heterogeneous iso-or hyposignal intensity on T1WI and slightly hypersignal intensity on T2WI, and heterogeneously slightly enhanced. The lesion extended through the intervertebral foramen with a paraspinal soft tissue mass in three cases, and adjacent vertebral bone or appendages involvement was demonstrated in four cases. Conclusion MRI is useful in delineating the size, location,extent and involvement of adjacent tissues of PNET, it should be considered when MR imaging demonstrates an intraspinal mass which extends from intervertebral foramen and invades paraspinal soft tissues, vertebral body or appendage.
Objective To determine the usefulness of multi-slice CT(MSCT) with multiple planar reconstruction(MPR) images in the diagnosis of traumatic diaphragm injuries(TDIs).Methods Thirty three patients of TDIs were reviewed retrospectively in this study,including 28 men and 5 women,aged from 1~76 years.Thirty three cases respectively underwent MSCT examinations.Sagittal and coronal MPRs were performed in all cases.The clinical data and MSCT appearances(such as the diaphragmatic discontinuity sign,the collar sign,the bread sign,and intra-thoracic location of herniated abdominal contents) were analyzed.Results Of 33 cases,2 cases were simple contusion,31 cases were blunt trauma injuries(left 26 cases,right 5 cases),The herniation intruding into the thoracic cavity consisted mainly of stomach or fluid gas bowel loops(left 25 cases,right 1 case),liver(only right 3 cases) and abdominal fat(left 16 cases,right 2 cases).The sensitivity of MSCT detecting the abnormality of the diaphragm was 100%.On MSCT images,21 cases(67.7%) showed diaphragmatic discontinuity sign,10 cases(32.2%) showed diaphragm thickening sign,and collar sign and bread sign were seen in 5 cases(16.1%) respectively.Compared with transverse CT scan,MPRs performed better for demonstrating the diaphragmatic discontinuity sign(19 cases vs 8 cases,P<0.05.Conclusion MSCT examinations are useful in the diagnosis of TDIs,especially when MSCT sagittal and coronal MPR images are obtained.
Objective To investigate the imaging diagnostic value for the primary soft tissue tumors of the foot.Methods 55 patients with primary soft tissue tumors of foot were enrolled in this study,including 28 men and 27 women,with age ranging 4 months-79 years.18 cases,17 cases and 44 cases underwent X-ray,CT,and MRI examination,respectively.We mainly analyzed the lesion′s anatomic location,size,morphology,signal intensity or density,characteristic of enhancement respectively.Results Of 55 cases,49 cases were benign(89.1%) and 6 cases malignant(10.9%),with size ranging from 1.1cm to 8.3cm,and predominantly solitary(n=41,74.5%).39 cases(70.9%) were qualitatively diagnosed,and 3 cases malignant tumors of the others were misdiagnosed as benign ones.X-ray,CT and MRI can effectively detect the abnormalities(sensitivity 88.9% vs 94.1% vs 100%).Some tumors could show characteristic MR signal intensity,including 19 cases of hemangioma(high light signal intensity on T2WI and STIR,internal septa can be seen),6 cases of lipoma and lipoblastoma(high signal intensity on T1WI and T2WI,low signal intensity on STIR),2 cases of synovial sarcoma(the invasive rim),3 cases of melanoma(short time on T1WI and T2WI).Of course,it is also difficult to differentiate pigmented villonodular synovitis(PVNS) from giant cell tumor of the sheath(GCTTS) because of the similar low signal intensity on T2WI and bone destruction.Conclusion Imaging examinations can accurately locate the foot tumors and also give qualitative diagnosis for some characteristic tumors.The knowledge of common tumors of the foot aids in clinical planning.
