1.Probable Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease:A Study of Glucose Metabolism byStatistical Parameter Mapping
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging 2015;(12):884-887,891
PurposeTo analyze fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT images in patients with probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) and the affected encephalic regions by statistical parameter mapping (SPM) so that image information can be provided for early clinical diagnosis.Materials and MethodsSeven patients with probable sCJD diagnosed according to the WHO criteria and 2009 clinical diagnosis criteria and 7 controls at the matched age were enrolled in the study. Both groups underwent FDG PET/CT scan and the images were analyzed visually and by SPM.ResultsThe visual analysis showed that the patients with probable sCJD had a hypometabolism in the wide pallium and basal ganglia region and that a portion of patients mainly had a lateral decrease. The SPM analysis exhibited that patients in sCJD group had a pattern of hypometabolism that affected bilateral parietal, frontal, occipital cortices and head of caudate (P<0.05) and indicated that the patients with lateral hypometabolism existed crossed cerebella diaschisis (P<0.05).ConclusionFDG PET/CT image features of sCJD patients present a hypometabolism in the wide pallium and basal ganglia region, which may be helpful in the diagnosis of sCJD in certain clinical situations.

Accurate knowledge,diagnosis and treatment of breast ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS),are crucial in controlling the development of breast cancer.In the diagnosis phase,breast ultrasound is commonly used as a screening tool,and a clear diagnosis can be made by mammography.Meanwhile,serological tests contribute to the detection of DCIS in early stages.In the treatment,the optimal surgical operation method remains debatable.It is widely acknowledged that the radiotherapy of postoperative patients should become more individualized.In addition,corresponding endocrine therapy helps those ER positive patients to reduce the recurrence.In the development of DCIS to invasive cancer,there are changes in gene and protein expressions,which may be a potential direction for further research.
