Journal of Practical Radiology 2017;33(3):369-372
Objective To investigate the MRI features and pathological findings of primary intracranial lymphoma and to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Methods MRI features and pathological findings were analyzed in 28 pathologically proved cases of primary intracranial lymphoma.All 28 cases were examined by MRI scanning and diffusion weighted imaging(DWI),among which 19 cases were examined by enhanced MRI scanning.Results MRI manifestations:(1)single type:intracranial single lesion,the most common site was nearly the middle area of deep brain or brain surface;(2)multiple type.Type Ⅱa:multiple lesions in regional distribution, often showed several small lesions around a larger lesion.Type Ⅱb:multiple lesions in diffused distribution,often showed scattered distribution without an obvious regional distribution.The shapes of lesion were mass-like,nodular or irregular.The lesions showed isointense or slightly hypointense on T1 WI,and isointense,slightly hyperintense or slightly hypointense on T2 WI.On DWI,the le-sions showed hyperintense.Most lesions showed obvious enhancement with fisting sign,incision sign,pointed sign,butterfly sign,long and stiff spicule signand comb sign.Pathology:the tumor cells were heteromorphic and spread around the vessels, and showed greater cellularity,big prominent nucleoli,and small lymphocytes.The immunohistochemical examination showed that all tumor cells were positive for CD20 and CD79a and negative for GFAP.Conclusion The MRI findings of primary intracranial lym-phoma are various.Careful analysis can improve the diagnostic accuracy of the disease,definitive diagnosis requires histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations.
2.Navigation method of 64-slice CT reconstruction in tibial plateau fractures
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(26):3923-3928
BACKGROUND:64-slice CT reconstruction technique for tibial plateau fractures hasobtainedsatisfactory results. This technology can reconstruct three-dimensional fracture relations, provide more scientific positioning and navigation standards for physicians, and improve the clinical cure rate. However, in the clinic, navigation method of 64-slice CT reconstruction techniques for tibial plateau fractures lacks a unified standard. OBJECTIVE:To study the navigation method and effect of 64-slice CT reconstruction in tibial plateau fractures. METHODS:A total of 44 patients with tibial plateau fractures were enroled in this study, including 27 males and 17 females, at the age between 21 and 74 years old. These patients were randomly divided into two groups (n=22). The control group underwent navigation method according to physician’s experience. The test group underwent navigation method according to 64-slice spiral CT scan results. Healing time, ful weight-bearing time, knee motion rangeat1 year postoperatively, the recovery ofknee functionat1 year postoperatively and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No significant differences in ful weight-bearing time and knee motion rangeat1 year postoperatively were detected between the two groups (P> 0.05). Healing time was significantly shorter in the test group than in the control group (P< 0.05). (2) The excelent and good rate of knee joint was 100% at 1 year postoperatively in the test group, which was significantly higher thanthe control group (81%) (P< 0.05). (3) The complication rate was significantly lower in the test group (8%) than in the control group (18%) (P< 0.05). (4) These results indicate that the effect of 64-slice CT reconstruction for navigation in tibial plateau fractures was ideal, could clearly simulate the pedicle screw fixation channel, visibly display anatomic characteristics of tibial plateau fractures, improve internal fixation accuracy, and improve repair effect.

Objective To explore the correlation between blood glucose and postoperative recovery of pancreatic cancer patients with diabetes.Methods According to the level of glycemic control after operation,68 cases of pancreatic cancer patients with diabetes were divided into two groups,including 34 cases of intensive control group (blood glucose 4.4 ~ 6.1 mol/L),34 cases of control group (blood glucose 6.1 ~11.1 mol/L).Fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS) and C reaction protein (CRP) in all patients were detected at 1st,3rd and 7th day after operation,and the recovery condition,postoperative complications and other clinical data were compared and analyzed.Results FBG,FINS and CRP in intensive control group were (6.94 ± 0.94) mmol/L,(17.38 ± 7.37) mmol/L,(108.33 ± 37.25) mg/L,and in control group were (7.81 ± 1.36) mmol/L,(23.73 ± 8.25) mmol/L,(131.51 ± 42.34) mg/L at 3rd day after operation.There were significant difference in serum FBG,FINS and CRP level between the two groups at 3rd day after operation (P < 0.05).Compared with control group,postoperative duration of fever [(1.4 ± 0.8) vs (2.5 ± 1.1) d],duration of antibiotics [(3.1 ± 0.7) vs (4.6 ± 0.8) d] and time of anal exhaust [(2.5 ±0.5) vs 93.7 ± 0.8)d] in intensive group were significantly reduced (P < 0.05).The wound infection rate in intensive control group was significantly decreased (5.9% vs 23.5%,P <0.05),the rate of mortality and other postoperative complications between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusions Intensive glycemic control can contribute to improve insulin resistance,reduce inflammation reaction and improve the prognosis of postoperative pancreatic cancer patients with diabetes,and it does not increase the postoperative complication rate.

BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich plasma has benefit in diabetic wound healing;however, the effect of al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma is stil unclear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma on col agen synthesis during diabetic wound healing. METHODS:Streptozocin-induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma group and saline control group. Each group had 15 rats. A 1 cm2 ful-thickness skin defect on the rat dorsum was excised. Platelet-rich plasma or saline was applied. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared from the whole blood of al ogeneic healthy rats. Animals of each group were sacrificed on 3, 7, 14 days post operation. The differences of the wound closure rate, morphological character, hydroxyproline content and the relative mRNA expression of the col agen were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The wound closure rates were lower in control group on day 3, 7, 14 post operation (P<0.05). Masson staining showed a decreased, disorder, loose col agen fibers distribution in diabetic control wound tissue. The results of the hydroxyproline test showed hydroxyproline content was significantly higher in platelet-rich plasma group at each time point (P<0.01). The relative mRNA expression of type I and III col agen presented a higher expression in platelet-rich plasma treated wound tissue at each time point (P<0.05). And the ratio between type I and III col agen was higher in platelet-rich plasma group at each time point (P<0.05). In summary, al ogeneic platelet-rich plasma can promote diabetic wounds healing, which may attribute to an enhanced col agen synthesis.
