Objective To explore the imaging features and its correlation with pathological findings of giant cell tumor of the ten-don sheath (GCTTS).Methods The clinical data,radiographic images and pathological characteristics of sixteen cases of GCTTS confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Plain CT,pre and post-contrast MR were performed in all patients.HE stai-ning was used to investigate the histological characteristics of GCTTS,and immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the ex-pression of CD68.Results There were nine cases of local type GCTTS and seven cases of diffuse type GCTTS in our present study. Nine cases were located in the knee joint,four cases in the foot,and three cases in the hand.Compared with normal skeletal muscle signals,lesions showed isointensity or low intensity on T1 WI and inhomogeneous low intensity on T2 WI.Three cases caused adja-cent bone destruction,one case lead to adjacent bone absorption,and no abnormality was found in other twelve cases.Six cases were injected Gd-DTPA for enhanced scan,in which four cases showed significantly heterogeneous enhancement,one case mild heteroge-neous enhancement,and one case no heterogeneous enhancement.Pathology examination results revealed that GCTTS parenchyma cells were mainly formed by histocyte-like monocytes,and scattered multinuclear giant cells.GCTTS mesenchyme was rich in gelat-inous fiber and hemosiderin pigmentation.Conclusion MR has a significant advantage in detecting specific hemosiderin pigmentation and determining lesions area of GCTTS.Combination of MR with pathology results may improve the diagnosis accuracy.

With the widespread adoption of screening mammography, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has been dramatically increased. The spectrum of local treatment advances from mastectomy to breast conservation surgery plus whole breast irradiation (WBI), and hypofractionated WBI or accelerated partial breast irradiation. Although the efficacy of WBI on reducing local recurrence is clear, such benefit in the low-risk DCIS is still controversial. Further studies are required to establish a more precise local recurrence risk stratification system for better tailoring local treatment in patients with DCIS. In this review, the latest advances and controversies in surgery, radiation therapy and local recurrence risk stratification system for patients with DCIS were summarized.

Purpose To explore the methods of selectively visualizing hepatic portal vein by using three-dimensional fast imaging employing steady state acquisition combined with in-flow inversion recovery labeling pulse at 3.0 Tesla. Materials and Methods Ten healthy volunteers were examined under different TI (1200, 1400, 1600, 1800 ms), and the vessel-to-liver contrast ratio of the main portal vein, right portal vein, and left portal vein were measured. Results Non-contrast-enhanced MRA images of portal vein were obtained successfully in all ten volunteers. The signal intensity of peripheral portal branches gradually increased when TI increased from 1200 ms to 1600 ms, and the highest vessel-to-liver contrast ratio occurred when TI was 1400 ms. Conclusion Non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of the hepatic portal vein can be successfully achieved at 3.0T high field MRI. A fixed TI of 1400 ms is preferable.

Objective To clarify the mechanism of Yifeiqinghua granules on tumor angiogenesis and tumor inhibition by observing its influence on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor KDR in Lewis lung cancer mice. Methods Eighty C57BL/6 inbred mice subcutaneously planted with Lewis tumor cell suspension 0.2 mL were randomly divided into 8 groups:blank group, control group, low-, medium- and high-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules groups, Gefitinib group, Gefitinib plus medium-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules group and CTX group, 10 mice in each group. Drugs were administrated from the second day. CTX group was administered on third day and seventh day, other groups were administered for 14 days. The mice were killed to take the tumor on the 15th days. VEGF and KDR expression in tumor tissue was measured by Western Blot. Results Compared with the blank group, the expression of VEGF was significantly decreased in the low- and medium-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules groups (P<0.01). Gefitinib group’s VEGF value was lower than the blank group (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the expression of VEGF was significantly decreased in the high-dose of Yifeiqinghua granular group, Gefitinib plus medium-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules group and CTX group (P<0.001). Compared with the blank group, the expression of KDR was significantly decreased in the low-, medium- and high-dose of Yifeiqinghua granules groups, Gefitinib group and CTX group (P<0.05). Conclusions The possible mechanism of Yifeiqinghua granules in treating non-small cell lung cancer is reducing the expression of VEGF and KDR, thus play an inhibitory effect.
