Objective To investigate the brain glucose metabolism in different stage of mixed-type multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods Forty-six MSA patients with cerebellar or Parkinsonian symptoms and 18 healthy controls with similar age as patients were included.According to the disease duration,the patients were divided into three groups: group 1 (≤ 12 months,n=14),group 2 (13-24 months,n=13),group 3 (≥ 25 months,n =19).All patients and controls underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT brain imaging.To compare metabolic distributions between different groups,SPM 8 software and two-sample t test were used for image data analysis.When P<0.005,the result was considered statistically significant.Results At the level of P<0.005,the hypometabolism in group 1 (all t>3.49) was identified in the frontal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,insula lobe,anterior cingulate cortex,caudate nucleus and anterior cerebellar hemisphere.The regions of hypometabolism extended to posterolateral putamen and part of posterior cerebellar hemisphere in group 2 (all t>3.21).In group 3,the whole parts of putamen and cerebellar hemisphere were involved as hypometabolism (all t>4.08).In addition to the hypometabolism regions,there were also stabled hypermetabolism regions mainly in the parietal lobe,medial temporal lobe and the thalamus in all patient groups (all t>3.27 in group 1,all t>3.02 in group 2,all t>3.30 in group 3).Conclusions Disease duration is closely related to the FDG metabolism in the MSA patients.Frontal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,anterior cingulate cortex and caudate nucleus can be involved at early stage of the disease.Putaminal hypometabolism begins in its posterolateral part.Cerebellar hypometabolism occurs early at its anterior part.Besides,thalamus shows hypermetabolism in the whole duration.18F-FDG metabolic changes of brain can reflect the development of mixed-type MSA.

Objective To study the 18F-FDG PET/CT features of tuberculous and malignant diffuse peritoneal lesions and to discuss the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing and differentiating the lesions. Methods The 18F-FDG PET/CT features of 72 patients with tuberculous peritonitis,28 primary serous papillary carcinoma of the peritoneum and 135 peritoneal metastases confirmed by clinic and/or histopathology, were retrospectively reviewed. The peritoneal thickening features of tuberculous and malignant peritoneal lesions were observed. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of peritoneal lesions and ascites, ascites SUVmax/liver SUVmax (T/NT) were compared between tuberculous peritonitis and cancerous peritonitis. The ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of T/NT, SUVmax of peritoneal lesions and ascites. Results The typical 18F-FDG PET/CT features of tuberculous peritonitis were uniformity thickening of parietal peritoneum, mesenteric and omental stain like changes, widely and even distribution of the peritoneal 18F-FDG, while the cancerous peritonitis was obvious uneven thickening of parietal peritoneum, mesenteric and omental nodules and pie-shape changes, uneven distribution of the peritoneal 18F-FDG. The degree of 18F-FDG uptake was increased in all peritoneal lesions, and there was no significant difference between the tuberculous group (SUVmax=10.53±5.44) and the cancerous group (SUVmax=11.45±6.78, t=1.017, P>0.05). The 18F-FDG concentration in malignant ascites (SUVmax=1.88±0.65,T/NT=0.73± 0.18) was obvious higher than that of tuberculous ascites (SUVmax=1.67±0.69,T/NT=0.57±0.27, t=2.243 and 5.045,both P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of T/NT, SUVmax of ascites, SUVmax of peritoneal lesions were 0.707, 0.593, 0.536, respectively. Conclusion The 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging can reflect the morphology and metabolic changes of peritoneal lesions. It is important to combine the SUVmax of ascites in order to improve the efficiency of diagnosing the diffuse peritoneal diseases.

Objective To research the clinical manifestations of renal tuberculosis and improve the diagnosis and treatment of renal tuberculosis. Methods From 1993 to 2007,223 cases of renal tuberculosis were hospitalized. Retrospective analysis was complied for all the cases about age, clinical manifestations, imaging and treatment. Results The incidence rates of the renal tuberculosis were obviously higher in the 20-40 years old(41.7%) and in the 41-54 years old (36.3%). The course of this disease was from 1 day to 30 years(mean 38. 5 months). Only 36 patients (16.1%) were made a definite diagnosis when they went to see a doctor primary. The miediagnosis of urinary tract infec-tions( 50.3%) was most frequent. The clinical manifestations of most patients included frequency(54.7%), urgency(50.2%), odynuria(42.2%)and hematuria(58.7%). About 58. 3% patients pres-ented with over 3 kinds of above manifestations. The positive yield of the tuberculin test in urine was only 41.9%. The positive diagnostic rate of renal tuberculosis was only 35.7% in KUB+IVU,72.2%in Type-B Ultrasonic, 76.0% in CT test. One hundred and seventy-three cases were performed with nephrectomy(78.6%) and partial nephrectomy(21.4%). Two cases were treated with dialysis due to uremia. Standard medication was taken for the other 48 patiernts, and effective for 41 cases. Conclu-sions The incidence of atypical renal tuberculosis is increasing. More attention must be paid especially to those patients with urinary infection.
