Objective To explore the value of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value combined with ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system(O-RADS)MRI score in differentiating benign and malignant adnexal lesions with score 3-5.Methods The imaging data of 241 adnexal lesions with O-RADS MRI score 3-5 proved by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.The ADC values of all lesions were measured,and the optimal thresholds were determined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis,the comprehensive model was established using binary logistic regression analysis,the corresponding diagnostic efficacy was calculated.Results The median ADC values of the benign,borderline and malignant groups were 2.166 × 10-3 mm2/s,1.383 ×10-3 mm2/s and 0.839× 10-3mm2/s,respectively(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the combination of ADC value with O-RADS MRI score for differentiating benign and malignant adnexal lesions was 0.928[95% confidence interval(CI)0.888-0.958],which was higher than that of O-RADS MRI score and ADC value alone(P<0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of the three models in differ-entiating benign and malignant adnexal lesions were 93.5%,98.9%,83.9%,respectively;and 79.1%,58.8%,79.1%,respectively.Conclusion ADC value combined with O-RADS MRI score can be the most effective in the diagnosis of benign and malignant adnexal lesions,which is higher than O-RADS MRI score and ADC value.Compared with O-RADS MRI score,ADC value combined with O-RADS MRI score maintained good sensitivity and increased diagnostic specificity.

Objective:To identify the risk factors that predict pathological upstaging of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) or low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in forceps biopsy after endoscopic resection.Methods:A systematic search of Web of Science, Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Library was conducted using the terms "Risk Factor" "Low-Grade Dysplasia or Low-Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia" "gastric or stomach" with a deadline of October 2022. Observational studies related to risk factors for biopsy pathology diagnosis of gastric LGIN or LGD lesions with pathology escalation after endoscopic resection were included. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models to calculate pooled odds ratio ( OR). Results:Fifteen studies were identified on pathologic upstaging associated with 5 different risk factors: erythema, lesion diameter, depressed lesions, nodularity, and lesion location. Factors that significantly increase the risk of upgrading the pathological diagnosis after endoscopic resection included erythema ( P<0.01, OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.94-4.25), lesion diameter ( P<0.01, OR=2.50, 95% CI: 1.85-3.37), depressed morphology ( P=0.02, OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.09-2.64), and nodularity ( P<0.01, OR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.81-4.81). The risk of pathologic diagnostic escalation after endoscopic resection was similar for lesions in the upper 1/3 of the stomach compared to lesions in the lower 1/3 of the stomach ( P=0.86, OR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.72-1.47), whereas the risk of pathologic diagnostic escalation for lesions in the middle 1/3 of the stomach was even lower ( P<0.01, OR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.93). Conclusion:Several endoscopic factors, including lesion diameter, location and surface morphology, are associated with the pathologic upstaging of LGIN/LGD on pre-treatment forceps biopsy. Clinical attention should be paid to the risk of pathological diagnosis upgrading after endoscopic resection of large lesions, including redness, depression, and nodular surface lesions in the lower 1/3 of the stomach.

Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the plaque characteristics of different subtypes of middle cerebral artery(MCA)infarction,lenticulostriate artery(LSA)characteristics,and hemodynamic characteristics through high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging(HR-MRI VWI)and perfusion weighted imaging(PWI).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with unilateral acute or subacute MCA infarction who underwent HR-MRI VWI and PWI examinations at Qinhuangdao First Hospital from January 2022 to April 2024.Patients were divided into three groups according to the type of infarction:artery-to-artery embolism(AA),branch occlusive disease(BOD),branch occlusive disease and artery-to-artery embolism(BOD-AA).Clinical data,plaque characteristics,lenticulostriate artery characteristics,and hemodynamic characteristics were compared and analyzed among the three groups.To determine factors associated with BOD,the BOD and BOD-AA groups were merged into a BOD+group which was then compared with the AA group.To determine factors associated with the AA group,the BOD-AA and AA groups were combined into an AA+group,followed by comparison with the BOD group.Results A total of 42 patients with unilateral acute or subacute MCA infarction were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Among them,9 patients were classified as having AA,14 patients as having BOD,and 19 as having BOD-AA.The results showed that the degree of stenosis was higher in the AA+group than in the BOD group,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-2.536,P<0.05);The number of LSA on the affected side was higher in the BOD+group than in the AA group[2.00(1.50,3.00)vs.3.00(3.00,4.00)],and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-2.889,P<0.05);The relative cerebral blood flow(rCBF)of the centrum semiovale was lower in the AA+group than in the BOD group[0.90(0.84,0.93)vs.0.99(0.97,1.03)],and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-4.555,P<0.05);The rCBF in the basal ganglia was lower in the BOD+group than in the AA group[0.89(0.83,0.93)vs.1.01(0.98,1.04)],and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-4.280,P<0.05).Conclusion Patients in BOD+have a lower degree of stenosis compared to AA group.The spatial relationship between plaques and LSA varies across different subtypes of MCA infarction.Plaques in BOD+patients are positioned closer to the LSA orifice and thus have a higher tendency to occlude the LSA orifice.The affected side has few LSAs and the rCBF in the LSA perfusion area.is lower.
