Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between the tumor angiogenesis index (microvessel density,MVD)and biological behavior of the tumor.To analyze the correlations between TBF,standard ADC,fast ADC,slow ADC and MVD counts.Methods From March 2013 to June 2013,a total of 40 patients were involved in the study.3D-ASL and IVIM DWI were both performed on patients with musculoskeletal tumors.TBF,standard ADC,slow ADC,fast ADC were measured by regions of interest.Immunohistochemical staining of specimens were performed by using CD34 monoclonal antibody to calculate MVD counts.Group differences in MVD were assessed by using one-way ANOVA.The correlations between TBF,standard ADC,fast ADC,slow ADC and MVD counts were evaluated using Pearson correlative analysis.Results The MVD of benign tumors was (10.38±4.58)/0.26 mm2,the MVD of intermediate tumors was (14.64±6.69)/0.26 mm2,and the MVD of malignant tumors was (32.97±11.61)/0.26 mm2.The differences of MVD among three groups were statistically significant (F=28.83,P＜0.05).The differences of MVD between benign and malignant group were statistically significant (P＜0.05),as well as intermediate and malignant group (p=0.000).There was a significant positive correlation between TBF and MVD (r=0.784,P=0.000),as well as the correlation between TBF and fast ADC(r=0.727,P=0.000).There was a moderate positive correlation between fast ADC and MVD (r=0.516,P=0.000).There were no significant correlation between slow ADC and MVD,or between standard ADC and MVD.Conclusion The MVD represents the angiogenesis of musculoskeletal tumors,reflecting biological behavior of the tumor.ASL and IVIM DWI can be applied to evaluate the angiogenesis of musculoskeletal tumors by reflecting MVD of musculoskeletal tumors in vivo as a completely noninvasive technique.
