Objective To investigate MR findings and analysis of misdiagnosis of atypical invasive pituitary adenoma.Methods The MR findings of twenty cases of atypical invasive pituity adenomas confirmed by pathology were reviewed ,which were misdiag-nosed as chordomas or meningiomas.Results All the twenty cases showed iso-or slightly hypo-signal on T1 WI,iso-or slightly hy-per-signal on T2 WI;Enhanced scan displayed heterogeneous enhancement.The dynamic enhancement curve showed rapid enhance-ment phase.The bilateral cavernous sinuswere infringed in nine cases,in which the pituity and pituity stalk were not well seen. Among the twenty cases,twelve cases with suprasellar and anterior cranial fossa extension were misdiagnosed as meningiomas;eight cases with clival destruction were misdiagnosed as chordomas.Conclusion The MR features of atypical invasive pituity adenomas are various.In order to avoid misdiagnosis,a comprehensive analysis should be based on a variety of signs.

Objective To investigate the application value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in monitoring the response to chemotherapy of primary bone lymphoma(PBL). Methods Sixteen consecutive patients with PBL confirmed by pathology were enrolled in this retrospective study.All patients underwent a controlled MRI including a DWI sequence before chemotherapy and after the first chemotherapy session. The ADC values of PBL lesions were measured before and after the first chemotherapy session. All patients were divided into responders and non-responders groups according to the combined response assessment criteria. The difference in ADC values between the responders and non-responders groups before and after chemotherapy and the rate of change of ADC values were compared using Wilcoxon test. The paired t test was used to compare ADC values before and after chemotherapy in each group. Results Twenty-three cases of PBL lesions were diagnosed in 16 patients before the chemotherapy. After the first chemotherapy session, 10 patients (12 lesions) and 6 patients (11 lesions) were categorized into the responder and non-responder group, respectively. The mean pre-treatment ADC value of the responder group and non-responder group were 737.1(301.7,928.4)× 10-6mm2/s and 749.2(624.4, 1186.5)× 10-6mm2/s, which had no statistically significant difference (Z=1.51,P=0.132). The mean post-treatment ADC value of the responder group and non-responder group were 1843.0(721.5,2745.8)× 10-6mm2/s and 1026.3(382.8,2100.8)× 10-6mm2/s, which had no statistically significant difference (Z=-1.75,P=0.079). The post-treatment ADC value of the responder group significantly increased [156.7(60.9,227.5)%] while the post-treatment ADC value of the non-responder group slightly increased [31.7(-44.7,147.4)%]. The difference in the percentage changes of ADC values in the responder and non-responder groups before and after the treatment was statistically significant(Z=-3.66,P<0.001). Conclusion The measurement of the percentage changes of ADC values enable a good short-term response evaluation for PBL.

Chongqing Medicine 2018;47(7):926-928,932
Objective To analyze the dynamic relation between preoperative and postoperative subjective symptoms with the ocular surface and objective detection indexes of tear film structure and function in the patients with diabetic cataract phacoemulsification.Methods Thirty cases (30 eyes) with diabetic cataract were selected as the group A.Thirty cases (30 eyes) of age-related cataract were selected as group B.The two groups conducted the questionnaire survey of ocular surface disease index(OSDI) on preoperative 1 d,postoperative 1 week,i,3 months.The Keratograph 5M ocular surface analyzer was used to detect the tear river height,average tear film breakup time(TBUT),nasal conjunctival congestion score and nasal ciliary congestion score.The tear insulin and MUC5AC levels were detected by ELISA.Results The OSDI score at various time periods in the group A was higher than that in the group B (P<0.05);The scores at postoperative 1 week in the two groups was increased compared with before operation(P<0.05);the central lacrimal river height at postoperative 1 week in the two groups was decreased compared with before operation(P<0.05).Average TBUT at postoperative 3 months in the group A approached the level before surgery,while which at postoperative 1 month in the group B closed to that before operation.The nasal conjunctival and ciliary congestion scores in the group A were higher than those in the group B(P<0.05).The tear insulin and MUCSAC levels in the group A were lower than those in the group B,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The tear insulin level at postoperative 3 months gradually closed to the preoperative level,while the tear MUCSAC level still had obvious difference compared with preoperative level.Conclusion The changes of subjective symptoms and objective indexes of ocular surface and tear film after phacoemulsification in diabetic cataract patients are more obvious and the recovery time is more longer;the Keratograph 5M ocular surface comprehensive analyzer can serve as the routine method for observing the ocular surface and tear film function before and after cataract surgery in the patients with diabetes.

Objective To analyze the MRI features of endometrial stromal sarcoma(ESS)and to explore its value in clinical application. Methods Thirteen patients with histologically proven ESS were collected.All cases underwent non-contrast MRI scan and DWI,10 of which underwent contrast-enhanced MRI scan.The MRI features were discussed in combination with the pathological results after operation.Results In all lesions,6 lesions were located in endometrial cavity,4 in myometrium,1 in right wall of uterus and broad ligament,1 in cervical canals,and 1 in the top segment of vagina and pelvic.Plain MRI showed the lesions with hypointensity on T 1 WI and mixed hyperintensity on T 2 WI,which exhibited polypoid or multiple nodular masses.DWI showed the lesions with different hyperintensity.In 10 patients with post-enhanced scanning,moderate or marked heterogeneous enhancement of the masses were demonstrated,in which 6 presented plateau pattern of time-signal enhanced curve and 4 were persistent pattern.Conclusion ESS had some characteristic features on MRI,and DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced examination can help to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Background It has been reported that orthokeratology has the effects of slowing down myopia progression and axial elongation.However,the affecting mechanism of orthokeratology wearing on ocular peripheral refraction is still not elucidated.Objective This study was to observe and compare the changes of ocular peripheral refraction and relative peripheral refraction (RPR) in low to moderate myopic eyes of children after wearing orthokeratology lens and spectacles for 6 months.Methods A randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out after approval of Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital and informed consent of guardians of the children.One hundred myopic children aged (ll.0±1.9) years were recruited in Beijing Tongren Hospital from June 2014 to January 2015,with the diopter of-0.50 to-6.00 D.The subjects were randomized into orthokeratology group and spectacles group by the process PLAN PROC of software SAS 9.1.3,50 for each group.The subjects in the orthokeratology group wore orthokeratology lens for 6 months and those in the spectacles group wore spectacles for the same period.An infrared open-field autorefractor was employed to measure the refraction at central 0°,temporal 15°,temporal 30°,nasal 15°and nasal 30° radial lines before and after wearing lens for the assessment and comparison of the changes of peripheral refraction and RPR.Results There was no significant difference in spherical equivalent between the orthokeratology group and the spectacles group before wearing lens ([-3.35±1.31] D versus [-3.01± 1.15] D,P =0.20).The peripheral refraction values in the orthokeratology group were (-2.28 ± 1.60),(-3.28±1.41),(-3.40±1.23),(-3.38±1.12) and (-2.09±1.29)D at nasal 15°and nasal30°,central,temporal 15° and temporal 30°radial lines before wearing lens,and reduced by (0.29±1.67),(0.85±1.66),(0.92±1.76) and (0.66±1.66) D at nasal 30°,nasal 15°,central and temporal 15° after wearing lens,respectively,with significant differences at nasal 15°,central and temporal 15°(all at P<0.05).The peripheral refraction values in the spectacles group were (-1.88±1.30),(-2.66±1.18),(-2.89±1.27) and (-1.94±1.31)D at nasal 15°,nasal 30°,temporal 15 ° and temporal 30°,radial lines before wearing lens and increased by (-0.25±0.80),(-0.43 ±0.67),(-0.32±0.64) and (-0.22±0.75)D after wearing lens,respectively,with significant differences between before and after wearing lens (all at P<0.05).The RPR shifted from hyperopia defocus to myopia defocus before and after wearing lens in temporal 15° and 30° radial lines in the orthokeratology group,and at various radial lines in the spectacles group,the RPR showed gradually worsening of hyperopia defocus.Conclusions Long-term wearing of orthokeratology results in a hyperopia shifting in myopic children by exposing the peripheral retina towards relative myopia defocus,whereas wearing spectacles leads to a relative hyperopia defocus on retina.Thus,orthokeratology may slow down the myopia progression.
