Objective To summarize the radiological features of follicular dendritic cell tumor of spleen (FDCS).Methods The clinical, radiological and pathological data of 8 patients from November 2011 to November 2017 in 5 hospitals with FDCS confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent CT examinations including plan and enhanced CT. Three patients underwent additional MRI and two patients underwent PET‐CT examinations simultaneously. The imaging features such as location, number, shape, boundary, size, internal structure, density (or signal, 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose uptake), enhancement model and the relationship with surrounding structures were observed and compared with pathological results. Results Of the 8 patients with FDCS, 7 were located in the spleen and 1 was located in the spleen of the ectopic spleen of the pancreas. Seven patients with splenic FDCS underwent splenectomy and 1 patient with pancreatic ectopic spleen FDCS underwent resection of the pancreas. Multiple lesions were detected in 1 case, while single in the others. Tumor was round or oval. The tumors were well‐circumscribed and presented as expansive growth. On unenhanced CT, the tumors showed a slightly lower density, and hemorrhage and necrosis could be detected in 6 lesions. Calcification was seen in 1 case, significant necrosis, and cystic change was presented in the pancreatic ectopic spleen FDCS. The solid part presented isointensity or slightly hypointensity on T1WI, and hyperointensity on T2WI. Cystic necrosis areas were hypointensitive on T1WI, and hyperointensitive on T2WI. Spoke‐like areas with hypointensity on T1WI and hyperointensity on T2WI were detected in the center of the solid part with the distribution among the substantial degenerative and necrotic regions. PET‐CT showed that the 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose was uptaked obviously. The enhancement CT showed that at the arterial phase, the tumors were markedly enhanced and continuously enhanced at portal vein phase and balance phase. Multiple liver metastases were detected in 1 case with huge FDCS. One patient was followed up for 6 years, and gastric lymphoma was detected. The others were followed up for 6 to 53 months, there remained no transfer or recurrence.Conclusions The features of FDCS of spleen mainly manifest as solid or cystic mass with clear solitary sphenoma accompanied by scarring, calcification and hemorrhage. The enhancement mode is persistent enhancement. MRI and PET‐CT help to further reflect the tumor pathological basis and biological characteristics.

Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy of multiple regimen combination in treatment of osteoporosis of perimenopausal or postmenopausal women. Methods From Jul. 2008 to Dec. 2009, 109 women with low bone mineral density (BMD) or osteoporosis treated in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Affiliated Second Hospital, Wenzhou Medical College were enrolled randomly into 3 group,including 36 women in Group A managed by osteoform 1000 mg/d + alfacalcidol 0. 25 μg/bid orally, 40 women in group B managed by osteoform 1000 mg/d + alfacalcidol 0. 25 μg/bid + tibolone 1.25 mg/d orally and 33 women in group C managed by ostcoform 1000 mg/d + alfacalcidol 0. 25 μg/bid +bisphosphonates 70 mg/w orally. After 48 weeks BMD on lumbar 1 -4 (L1-4) and left femur were detected by X-ray. Bone alkaline phosphatase(BALP) ,cross linked clelopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(CTX) and 25-hydroxychole calciferol [25 (OH) D3] was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Result Seven women (6. 4%, 7/109) were withdrawed form this study, including 2 cases losing follow up in group A, 3 cases stopping treatment in group B, 2 cases giving up treatment due to severe adverse effect (burning in upper abdomen) in group C. (1) Pain relieve: after 48 weeks treatment, women in 3 groups improved symptom of pain significantly, the rates of pain relieve were 85% (29/34)in group A, 92% (34/37) in group B and 94% (29/31) in group C. (2) BMD: BMD was improved significantly in women in 3 groups after treatment. BMD of L1-4 were (0.88±0.15) g/cm2 in group A,(0.89±0.18) g/cm2 in group B and (0.87±0.10) g/cm2 in group C before treatment, and converted to (0.90±0.01) g/cm2 in group A, (0.93±0.09) g/cm2 in group B and (0.91±0.11) g/cm2 in group C after treatment. BMD of left femur were (0.87±0.07) g/cm2 in group A, (0.87±0.07) g/cm2 in group B and (0.85±0. 12) g/cm2 in group C before treatment and converted to (0.90± 0.03) g/cm2 in group A, (0.91±0.08) g/cm2 in group B and (0.89 ±0.12) g/cm2 in group C after treatment. It was shown significantly different BMD between group B or C and group A (P < 0. 01), however, there was no significant different BMD between group B and C (P >0. 05). (3) Index of bone metabolism: BALP were (26±6) μg/L in group A, (26±9) μg/L in group B and (28±7) μg/L in group C before treatment and converted to (22±5) μg/L in group A, (20±9)μg/L in group B and (22±8)μg/L in group C after treatment, which showed statistical difference (P < 0.05). CTX were (0.85±0.20) ng/L in group A, (0.84±0.47) ng/L in group B, and (0. 88 ±0. 11) ng/L in group C before treatment and converted to (0. 81 ±0. 19) ng/L in group A, (0. 77±0.33) ng/L in group B, and (0.82 ±0. 14) ng/L in group C after treatment, which showed statistical difference (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Those 3 regimens combination could be used in treatment of osteoporosis by decreasing bone conversion, increasing bone density, decreasing bone absorption. Regimen A was only suitable for basic therapy,the other two regimens could provide better treatment.
