Objective To investigate the value of CT spectral imaging in differential diagnosis of atypical pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenoma.Methods The energy spectrum CT data of 13 cases of atypical pheochromocytoma and 15 cases of adrenal cortical adenoma confirmed by surgery pathology were retrospectively analyzed.All images processed by spectrum software.The CT value of different energy levels (40-140 keV) in arterial,venous and delayed phase,energy spectrum curve and spectrum curve type,base material of concentration (water-iodine,grease-iodine,blood-iodine) were obtained,and the CT value of different energy were standardize in the same period.Data were compared with samples t test.Results For arterial phase,the standardization CT values of pheochromocytoma on monochromatic images of 40 keV,70 keV to 140 keV had statistical difference with those of adenoma (all P＜0.05).For venous phase,the standardization CT values of pheochromocytoma on monochromatic images of 70 keV to 140 keV had statistical difference with those of adenoma (all P＜0.05).For delayed phase,the standardization CT values of the two tumors on monochromatic image of 40 keV to 140 keV had significant difference (all P＜0.05).Both the energy spectrum of the three periods of type curve was falling,pheochromocytoma always located above compared with adenoma.The standardization concentration of base materials including water (iodine),fat (iodine) and blood (iodine) of pheochromocytoma were higher than those of adenoma in three phases (all P＜0.001).The standardization concentration of base materials including iodine (water),iodine (fat) and iodine (blood) had no significant difference in three phases between pheochromocytoma and adenoma (all P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Atypical pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenoma have different spectral curve and spectrum characteristics of the material content.Spectral CT imaging provides a method of multiple parameters to identify atypical adrenal pheochromocytoma and adenoma.

Purpose To explore the value of hydroxyapatite (HAP) in the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) based on the quantitative material decomposition images of spectral CT on healthy adult females.Materials and Methods A total of 128 healthy females who underwent upper abdominal CT examination with spectral CT at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from September 2013 to February 2016 were enrolled as the research group.Those patients with trauma,surgery,tumor or other diseases affecting BMD were excluded.The patients (ages ranged from 18 to 87 years) were divided into 6 groups according to their ages:＜30 years (n=23),30-39 years (n=20),40-49 years (n=22),50-59 years (n=24),60-69 years (n=19) and ≥ 70 years (n=20).The HAP and calcium concentration at central part of L2 centrum of spongy bone were measured.Meanwhile,119 healthy females who underwent dual energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) examination were selected as the controls and also divided into groups according to the same criteria as the research group.The BMD of the controls was also measured at L2 centrum and showed as areal density (g/cm2).The measurements of the research group were analyzed.The correlation analysis was done between hydroxyapatite,calcium concentration and age.The correlations between hydroxyapatite,calcium concentration and BMD obtained by DEXA were also analyzed.Results There were significant differences in the HAP and calcium concentration among different age groups (P＜0.05).The results of spectral CT and the DEXA showed correlations.Both HAP and calcium concentration showed positive relationship with BMD obtained by DEXA (r=0.874 and 0.796,respectively,both P＜0.05).The HAP and calcium concentration showed positive relationship with age in the groups (ages ranged from 18-39 years) (r=0.538 and 0.416,P＜0.05) and negative relationship with age in the groups (ages over 40 years) (r=-0.629 and-0.562,P＜0.05).Conclusion Material decomposition images of spectral CT can reflect bone changes,and HAP is a new base material for BMD measurement.

Objective To explore the effect of relaxation treatment (RT) on the sleep quality of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods Ninety-two GAD patients were recruited and evenly divided into a study group (n =46) and a control group.The control group was treated with conventional medications,while the study group received RT in addition.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and polysomnography (PSG) were used to test for changes in sleep before and after treatment.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups before treatment in terms of average PSQI scores or PSG results.After treatment,both groups scored significantly better on the PSQI than before the treatment.PSG showed that after treatment there was less awakening,greater sleep efficiency and longer total sleep time.There was shorter sleep latency and rapid eye movement sleep latency,shorter duration of shallow sleep,and longer duration of deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep in the study group,as well as fewer awakenings,greater sleep efficiency and longer total sleep time.The PSQI and PSG results of the two groups after treatment were significantly different.Conclusions RT can significantly improve sleep disorders in GAD patients.

Objective To investigate the atypical CT ,MRI findings of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) ,in order to improve diagnosis .Methods The clinical ,imaging and pathological data of 6 patients with PanNETs confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively .Results In all 6 cases ,2 lesions were located in the pancreatic head ,3 lesions in the pancreatic body ,and 1 lesion in the pancreatic tail .There were 2 functional PanNETs with an average size of 2 .1 cm × 2 .6 cm ,which showed homogeneous density or signal .There were 4 nonfunctional PanNETs with an average size of 2 .7 cm × 4 .3 cm ,one of which had calcification ,and two of which had obviously cystic change ,including intracapsular bleeding in one case .Contrast‐enhanced examinations showed that all 6 lesions had mild or moderate enhancement .Three lesions were manifested as relatively intense enhancement in the arterial and portal venous phase ,but decreased enhancement in the delayed phase ,including annular envelope enhancement in one case .Two le‐sions were manifested as progressive enhancement .The last case was manifested as inwardly filled enhancement .Three lesions had unclear boundaries ,while one lesion had splenic vein invasion .Two cases accompanied with mild expansion of the common bile duct or pancreatic duct .Conclusion PanNETs can be ma+nifested as atypical findings such as obviously cystic changes ,and(or) mild to moderate enhancement .It is suggested that the atypical imaging findings of PanNETs should be recognized well to improve the diag‐nostic accuracy .
