In recent years,hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)has become the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide.Due to the insidious onset of this disease,only 20%-30%of the patients with HCC have the opportunity for surgical resection or liver transplan-tation.At present,interventional therapy has become the first choice for patients with intermediate-stage HCC and some patients with late-stage HCC,and more and more scholars have realized the importance and necessity of comprehensive interventional therapy for HCC.The comprehensive interventional therapy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)in combination with various methods (TACE com-bined with local treatment,TACE sequential surgery,or TACE combined with systemic treatment)provides many therapeutic approaches and achieves good therapeutic effects.However,the indications,timing,and recurrence and metastasis after treatment for such combination ther-apies await further investigation.

Objective To assess the radiological imaging findings of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and to discuss the appropriate morphological classification.Methods A total of 22 patients with hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor confirmed by pathology were enrolled.Imaging performance of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor were analyzed and the lesions were classified into appropriate type based on the imaging findings.Results Totally 23 lesions were found in 22 patients.The typical imaging features included great enhancement at later phase (13/20),moth eat en central necrosis (12/23) and peripheral shell (12/23).Seed in fruit was the most typical classification (8/23),followed by Seedless fruit (7/23).Conclusion Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumur typically shows as a single nodular lesion with moth eaten necrosis and peripheral shell like a Seed in fruit.The enhancement at later phase (especially the peripheral enhancement) can be regarded as a particular feature.

P53 abnormality or mutation is commonly seen in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and therefore, restoration of P53 function has become a research hotspot in the treatment of HCC.This article reviews the association of P53 with Bcl-2 protein family, microRNA, TGFβ, HBV, HCV, and AKT and the role of P53 in regulating cell apoptosis, in order to provide clues for improving the therapeutic outcome of HCC.

Objective To evaluate the application of CT perfusion in the assessment of muscle perfusion in ischemic rabbit hindlimb treated by implantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Methods Twenty rabbits were divided into two groups randomly (each n =10).Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were injected into the left ischemic hind limbs of animal models of intravenous injection group,with same volume of normal saline injected into the control group.Twenty-eight days later,the collateral circulation and blood vessel neogenesis were examined by Toshiba Aquilion One 320-MSCT and pathological approaches.t test and Pearson test were used to compare the parameters.Results The results show that rAF,rBV,rClearance,rMVD were 1.15 ±0.67,1.19 ±0.32,0.62 ±0.20,and 1.34 ±0.28 in intravenous injection group and 0.57 ±0.17,0.74 ±0.19,2.06 ±0.15,0.62 ±0.19 in the control group respectively.There was significant difference of rAF,rBV,rClearance and rMVD between the intravenous injection group and the control group(t =5.75,5.01,-2.81,6.43 respectively,P ＜ 0.01).There was significant correlation between rBV,rAF,rC and rMVD (r =0.857,0.811,0.615,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion CT perfusion imaging is a relatively accurate technique to assess changes of muscle perfusion in ischemic rabbit hindlimb treated by implantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective:To predict the dose of lumbosacral spine (LS) and pelvic bone marrow (PBM) based on kernel density estimation (KDE) in patients with gynecological tumors.Methods:Fifteen patients with gynecological tumors receiving radiotherapy plans with dose limitation for LS and PBM in our hospital were selected as training data for machine learning. Another 10 cases were selected as the data for model validation. The minimum directional distance between the dose point in the organs and the edge of the planned target volume for the LS and PBM was calculated. Model training was performed by KDE. The accuracy of the model prediction was evaluated by the root mean square error. The model was utilized to predict the actual planned doses of the LS and PBM, and a linear fitting was performed on the predicted dose volume histogram (DVH) and actual results. The prediction effect was assessed by the goodness of fit R 2. Results:In terms of the DVH parameters required by the planner, the prediction doses from the model were similar to those of the verification plans: the difference of PBM V 40Gy was 2.0%, the difference of the mean dose was 1.6 Gy, and the difference of LS V 10Gy was -0.4%. In the unrequired DVH parameters, except for the PBM V 10Gy, the predicted values of the model were significantly high. The difference between the DVH predicted by the model and the actual plan was small, and the R 2 of the LS and PBM were 0.988 and 0.995, respectively. Conclusions:The model based on KDE method can accurately predict the doses of the LS and PBM. This model can also be used as a method to ensure the quality of the plan, and improve the consistency and quality of the plan.

Objective To observe the value of dual source CT (DSCT) dual energy subtract method in diagnosis of lower extremity arterial occlusion. Methods Thirty-two patients with lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases underwent DSCT direct bone removal CT angiography (DE-BR-CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) within 2 weeks. Raw data were reconstructed with techniques including MIP and VR. Arterial visibility of DE-BR-CTA was analyzed by two experienced radiologists taking DSA as the standard. Results A total of 328 arterial segments were selected in 32 patients with lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases. The correlation between DSA and DE-BR-CTA was good. There was no significant difference in arterial visibility between DE-BR-CTA and DSA (P＞0.05). Compared with DSA, 12 of the segmental stenosis were overestimated and 6 were underestimated with DE-BR-CTA. When stenosis was over 10%, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of DE-BR-CTA was 94.51%, 96.15%, 93.02%, 92.59% and 96.39%, respectively. Conclusion DSCT energy subtraction angiography is an accurate diagnostic method and non-invasive imaging technology in the assessment of lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases. It may provide precious information for pre-surgery evaluation and screening the arterial diseases of the lower extremities.

Objective To observe the 3.0T MRI features of normal acetabular labrum and variation in children. Methods MR appearances of normal acetabular labra in 53 children aged from 4 days to 14 years were reviewed retrospectively. The children were divided into four groups according to the age:group A:0-3 years; group B:4-7 years; group C:8-11 years; group D:12-14 years. All of them were examined with 3.0T MR including axial and coronal sequences. Results ①MR appearances of normal acetabular labra could be classified into 3 types:triangle, flat-shape and absent in shape. Triangle was the most common (78.29%). ②There was remarkable difference in the distribution of labra morphology among different groups and different portions of hip. Triangle was most commonly observed in group D and on the anterior portion. ③High signal intensity of normal acetabular labra in MRI was most frequently seen on the anterior site of hip. Conclusion The shape and signal intensity of normal acetabular labrum in children varies in different age groups and different portions.

Objective To investigate cortical activation patterns for covert and overt picture naming with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods fMRI data were collected on 24-27 years old volunteers during performance of covert and overt picture naming. After statistical postprocessing analysis, head movement data were compared across tasks and average neural activation maps were available for both tasks. Results Mean and maximal translations of head movement in covert picture naming were less than those in overt picture naming, but the difference has no statistical significance (P=0.23). It was shown that covert picture naming involved an orchestration of bilateral occipital gyri and cerebellums, bilateral supplementary motor area, postcentral gyri, inferior frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex. Activations in overt picture naming included those in covert naming (but more intensive), bilateral precentral gyri and posterior superior temporal gyri, left anterior superior temporal gyrus, bilateral thalamus, basal ganglia, and left insula. Conclusion Covert and overt picture naming are two different tasks involving different neural processing networks and levels. They can not be taken as substitutes for each other.
