Objective To evaluate the role of 64-slice spiral CT with diphase dynamic scanning in predicting the T staging of gas-tric carcinoma in different locations and assessing the sensitivity of metastasis of lymph nodes.Methods 185 patients with gastric carcinoma proved by pathology underwent diphase 64-slice CT scan and performed a TNM staging according to UICC classification. The results were compared with surgical pathological findings.Results The detection sensitivity for earlier stage gastric carcinoma was 92.0% and 99.4% for the advanced stage gastric carcinoma,While the overall accuracy rates of T and N staging were 85.4%, 69.2% respectively.Compared with the pathologic findings,the accuracy rate of CT scan for T1,T2,T3,T4 staging was 72.0%, 69.6%,90.8% and 83.3% respectively.The differences were statistically significant between T1 and T3,T2 and T3.The accuracy rate of T staging was 86.0%,84.8% respectively when the lesions were located in cardia and in antrum and this difference was not statistically significant.When the lesions were located in the body of the stomach,the differences were also not statistically signifi-cant with the accuracy rate of T staging was 89.5%,86.4% ,87.2% respectively for the lateral wall of the lesser curvature,the posterior wall of the lesser curvature and both the lesser curvature and larger curvature involved.As for the N staging,The accuracy rate of N0,N1,N2,N3 was 54.3%,87.5%,68.1% and 53.6%.The differences were significant statistically between N0 and N1, N1 and N3.Conclusion There was a high accuracy in the preoperative TNM staging of the gastric carcinoma with 64-slice spiral CT. The accuracy rate of T staging of the gastric carcinoma is not relative to the lesion’s location.
Objective To retrospectively analyze imaging features of multi-slica computed tomography (MSCT) and clinical characteristics of male patients with pancreas solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) and compare with that of female patients.Methods From November 2000 to October 2012,clinical data of 18 male patients and 94 female patients underwent MSCT examination and pathological diagnosed as SPT were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical characteristics and imaging features of MSCT of male and female patients with SPT were analyzed,which included lesion location,size,shape,encapsulation,calcification,internal composition,density and enhancement pattern of tumors.Rank sum test or x2 test was performed for statistical analysis.Results The median age of male patients with SPT was significantly older than that of female patients (39.0 (15.0,67.0) years vs 27.5 (11.0,63.0) years; U=2.865,P =0.005).There were no significant differences in clinical manifestation,lesion location and composition ratio of benign and malignant tumors between male and female patients with SPT (all P>0.05).Imaging of MSCT indicated that the median maximum tumor diameter of male patients with SPT was significantly shorter than that of female patients (5.1 (1.0,11.6) cm vs 7.9 (2.5,18.7) cm; U=3.161,P=0.002).Solid tumors were more common in male patients compared with female patients (9/18 vs 5.3% (5/94) ; x2 =30.606,P<0.01).Conclusions The imaging features of male patients with SPT are different with those of females.For pancreas lesion in males,if imaging of MSCT shows more solid composition,small lesion and with typical enhancement patterns of SPT,the possibility of SPT should be considered.
Objective To compare the differences in uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG)-conjugated nanoparticles between breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells with high metabolism and breast fibroblasts with normal metabolism,and investigate the feasibility of using the coated nanoparticles as a MRItargeted contrast agent for highly metabolic carcinoma cells.Methods The γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG was prepared.The glucose metabolism level of both cell lines was determined.The targeting efficacy of γ-Fe2O3 @DMSA-DG and γ-Fe2O3@DMSA NPs to breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells and breast fibroblasts at 10 min,30 min,1 h and 2 h was measured with Prussian blue staining and UV colorimetric assay.MRI was performed to visualize the changes of T2WI signal intensity.Results Prussian blue staining showed more intracellular blue granules in the MDA-MB-231 cells of γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG NPs group than that in the γ-Fe2O3@DMSA NPs group,and the γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG uptake was greatly competed by free D-glucose.As revealed by UV colorimetric assay,MDA-MB-231 cells also showed that the cellular iron amount of γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG group was significantly higher than that of the γ-Fe2O3@DMSA group and γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG + D-glucose group,statistically with a significant difference between them.MRI showed that the signal intensity of γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG group was decrease significantly,the T2 signal intensity was decreased by 10.5%,37.5%,72.9%,92.0% for 10 min,30 min,1 h and 2 h,respectively.In contrast,the signal intensity did not show obvious decrease in the γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG group,the T2 signal intensity was decreased by 8.5%,11.4%,32.0%,76.7% for 10 min,30 min,1 h and 2 h,respectively.However,HUM-CELL-0056 cells did not produce apparent difference for positive staining in the γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG group,γ-Fe2O3@DMSA group and γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG + D-glucose group,and the signal intensity also did not produce apparent difference.Conclusions γ-Fe2O3@DMSA-DG has good targeting ability to highly metabolic breast carcinoma (MDA-MB-231) cells.It is feasible to serve as a specific MRI-targeted contrast agent for highly metabolic carcinoma cells,and deserves further studies in vivo.
Objective To summarize the imaging features of intra-pancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS)with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and improve the awareness and correct diagnosis of IPAS.Methods MDCT images of seven consecutive patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed IPAS were reviewed retrospectively.The investigated features included the location,size,shape,margin,density,and enhancement of the lesions.Results Four patients were male and three were female with a mean age of 49 years old.All the lesions were located at the dorsal side of parenchyma under the capsule of pancreatic tail.Three lesions were in round-like shape,and 4 in oval shape and all were well-defined.All the lesions were mass-like without necrosis and calcification.The maximum diameter of lesion ranged from 0.9 ~ 1.8 cm with a mean value of 1.4 cm.Compared with pancreatic parenchyma,the density of lesions were homogeneous on unenhanced CT,in arterial phase,slightly increased heterogeneous density was observed in 3 patients,slightly increased homogeneous density was observed in 4 patients.All the lesions appeared as slightly increased homogeneous density in portal phase.The CT value in unenhanced phase ranged from 50 ~ 61 Hu with a mean number of 55 Hu; and it ranged from 80 ~ 110 Hu with a mean number of 97 Hu in arterial phase; and the corresponding value was from 99 ~ 120 Hu with a mean number of 102 Hu in portal phase.Among the three patients underwent MDCT angiography,neither artery nor vein was compressed or invaded,and there was no vessel connected with lesions.Conclusions IPAS has some MDCT characteristics.For small solid mass in pancreatic tail,if the density and enhancement pattern is similar to that of spleen,the diagnosis of IPAS should be considered.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between the degree of necrosis displayed in computed tomography (CT) image and the expression of hypoxic and angiogenesis biomarkers of breast cancer.Methods: Forty-four breast cancer cases were examined with CT before surgery. Tumor specimen expressions of glucose transporter 1 (Glut1), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and CD34 (as a marker of vascular endothelial cells) were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results: The expressions of Glut1 and CA IX were localized primarily to the edges of necrotic areas or intraduct surface; there was a strong correlation between HIF-1 alpha-positive expression and CA IX-positive expression (P < 0.001), and higher Glut1 or CA IX expression grade was associated with lower microvessel density (MVD) value. In CT enhanced images, lower relative CT (rCT) values were associated with more significant necrosis in the tumor; rCT value correlated positively with MVD significantly (r = 0.319, P = 0.035), and higher Glut1 or CA IX expression grade correlated with lower rCT values (P = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively). Although high VEGF expression was significantly correlated with high HIF-1 alpha expression (P G 0.001), there were no correlations between VEGF and MVD, and HIF-1 alpha and MVD (P = 0.559 and 0.710, respectively), and the difference of the mean rCT value between high VEGF or HIF-1 alpha expression group and low VEGF or HIF-1 alpha expression group was not significant.Conclusions: In breast cancer tissues, Glut1 and CA IX are key hypoxia biomarkers. Importantly, detection of necrosis in breast cancer tissue via CT enhanced imaging may prognosticate hypoxia and angiogenesis status and help to determine treatment plan of advanced breast cancer.

Background: A schwannoma arising from the pleura is rare. The computer tomography (CT) features, however, have seldom been disclosed in the English literature.Purpose: To retrospectively assess the role of CT in the diagnosis of pleural schwannomas.Material and Methods: Eleven patients with pathologically confirmed pleural schwannomas were included in the study. CT images and clinical data were analyzed. The CT features emphasized included the location of the neoplasm, as well as its diameter, origin, margin, shape, attenuation, enhancement pattern, and extent and invasion into adjacent structures, all of which were observed and recorded.Results: Seven patients were men, while four were women; patients were aged 21-60 years, with a mean age of 45 years. Most cases were incidentally detected. Seven cases involved neoplasms located in the right hemithorax whereas four cases involved neoplasms in the left hemithorax. The mean tumor diameter was 4.4 cm (range, 2.3-6.4 cm). All of the tumors were solitary and well-defined ovoid (n = 7) or round (n =4) in shape. The schwannomas showed isoattenuation (four cases) or mild hypoattenuation (seven cases) to the chest wall muscle on unenhanced CT. All cases showed minimal enhancement on contrast-medium-enhanced CT. Two bony erosions of the rib were also observed.Conclusion: CT findings may suggest the diagnosis of pleural schwannoma preoperatively. Pleural schwannoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of solid, solitary, and well-defined pleural tumors.
