Objective To study the value of transfer constant(Ktrans)derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) for quantitative evaluation of Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI) in glioma. Methods Twenty patients with glioma who underwent DCE-MRI and operation were retrospectively reviewed. The Ktrans value and Ki-67 LI were acquired and correlated using the Spearman correlation test. Also, the Ktrans values were compared between high(larger than 10%)and low(no more than 10%)Ki-67 LI group with Mann-Whitney U test, receiver operating characteristic curves was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value. Results The Ktrans value(0.0165 to 0.8048, median 0.1252)was significantly associated with Ki-67 LI(5%to 50%, median 20%) (r=0.721,P<0.001), and the Ktrans value was significantly higher in high Ki-67 group(0.0810 to 0.8048, median 0.1810)than that in low Ki-67 LI group(0.0165 to 0.1456, median 0.0697)(Z=-3.209, P=0.001). The most predictive Ktrans value differentiated high Ki-67 LI and low Ki-67 LI with an area under the curve(AUC) of 0.945 at a sensitivity of 92.3% and specificity of 85.7%. Conclusion Ktrans value could be used for quantitative evaluation of Ki-67 LI in glioma.

Purpose:
MicroRNAs play key regulatory roles in the tumorigenesis of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBVHCC). This study aimed to explore the regulatory effects of microRNA-98-5p (miR-98-5p) on the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of HBV-HCC cells, as well as the underlying mechanisms involving nuclear factor-κB-inducing kinase (NIK).
Materials and Methods:
The expressions of miR-98-5p and NIK in HBV-HCC tissues and cells, and the level of HBV DNA in HBVHCC cells were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of HBV-HCC cells were analyzed by cell counting kit-8, wound healing, transwell, and flow cytometry assay, respectively. The targeting relationship between miR-98-5p and NIK was predicted by StarBase3.0 and verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. HBV-HCC xenograft tumor model was constructed in mice to observe the tumor growth in vivo.
Results:
The expression of miR-98-5p was declined in HBV-HCC tissues and cells. Overexpression of miR-98-5p markedly reduced the level of HBV DNA; inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion; and promoted the apoptosis of HBV-HCC cells. NIK was a target of miR-98-5p. Overexpression of miR-98-5p markedly decreased the protein expression of NIK in MHCC97H-HBV cells. NIK reversed the tumor-suppressing effect of miR-98-5p on HBV-HCC cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-98-5p significantly inhibited the xenograft tumor growth and decreased the expression of NIK in mice.
Conclusion
MiR-98-5p inhibits the secretion of HBV, proliferation, migration, and invasion of HBV-HCC cells by targeting NIK.

Objective To investigate the value of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen in patients with tubal infertility and its effect on the prevention of infection. Methods 80 patients with tubal infertility who were admitted in our hospital from January 2016 to October 2017 were selected as the study group and 80 patients with tubal patency by hysterosalpingography in our hospital were selected as the control group. The study group underwent Chlamydia trachomatis antigen detection. The relevant indicators were observed and clinical diagnostic effect and the effect of infection prevention of patients was recorded in detail. Results The diagnostic results showed that there were 77 cases diagnosed in the study group, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was 96. 2%, of which the diagnostic coincidence rates of tubal blockage, genital tract infection, tubal effusion, acute salpingitis were 100. 0%, 96. 1%, 96. 6%, 93. 8%. The positive rate of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen in the study group was 82. 5% (66/80). The positive rate of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen in the control group was 15. 0% (12/80). The positive rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0. 05). The test results showed that the incidence of abortion, preterm birth, dead fetus, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy and other symptoms was significantly higher in the positive patients' study group. In the aspect of infection prevention, the number of patients infected at each time period in the study group gradually reduced with the growth of time and the increase of number of infected people. Conclusion The detection of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen in patients with tubal infertility can achieve high coincidence rate of clinical diagnosis, earlier detection of tubal disease in patients and timely treatment measures, reduce the incidence of postoperative infection in patients, which should be further applied in clinical.

Objective:To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) parameters combined with T 2WI texture analysis of primary lesions of rectal adenocarcinoma in preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis with short diameter ≤9 mm. Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 115 cases of rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by surgical pathology in Affiliated Provincial Hospital of Anhui Medical University from June 2015 to October 2020. All patients underwent total mesorectal resection and received conventional rectal MRI and IVIM-DWI scan before surgery. According to the pathological results of lymph node, the patients were divided into lymph node metastatic group ( n=44) and non-metastatic group ( n=71). IVIM-DWI parameters of primary rectal adenocarcinoma were measured including apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo diffusion coefficient (D *) and perfusion fraction (f). The region of interest (ROI) of the whole lesion of rectal adenocarcinoma was delineated on axial T 2WI; then the ROIs were imported into GE Analysis Kit software to extract 3D texture feature. The differences of IVIM-DWI parameters and texture feature parameters were compared between two groups using independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test. The optimal texture feature parameters with independent predictive function were screened by multivariate logistic regression. Then the texture feature model and combined model based IVIM-DWI and texture feature parameters were established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the performances of IVIM-DWI, texture feature parameters, texture feature model and combined model in predicting lymph node metastasis in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) were compared with DeLong test. Results:Among all the IVIM-DWI parameters, the D * and f values of primary rectal adenocarcinoma were significantly different between the lymph node metastasis group and the non-lymph node metastasis group ( Z=3.39, P=0.001, Z=-3.06, P=0.002); no statistical significance was found in the ADC and D values between two groups (both P>0.05). A total of 828 texture feature parameters were obtained based on T 2WI of primary lesion of rectal adenocarcinoma, among which 3 optimal texture feature parameters were selected, including firstorder_Skewness, shape_Sphericity and glcm_Idn. The ROC curve results showed that the AUC of D * and f were 0.689 and 0.670, respectively. The AUC of 3 texture feature parameters were 0.651, 0.628, 0.631, respectively. The AUC of texture feature model and the combined model were 0.775 and 0.803. The AUC of combined model was larger than D *, f and the three texture feature parameters (all P<0.05). Conclusion:IVIM-DWI parameters combined with T 2WI texture feature parameters in primary lesion of rectal adenocarcinoma show good diagnostic efficacy in preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis with short diameter≤9 mm.
