Objective:To investigate the value of the extrahepatic bile duct and main pancreatic duct segment patterns on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for differentiating the periampullary carcinoma (PAC).Methods:The clinicopathologic data of 125 patients with PAC who were admitted to Wuxi No.2 People’s Hospital from June 2013 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 72 males and 53 females, aged (64.9±8.6) years. According to its anatomy, the extrahepatic bile duct (B) was divided into suprapancreatic and intrapancreatic (including ampullary) segments, and the main pancreatic duct (P) was divided into tail-body and head segments. MRCP patterns: i. the extrahepatic bile duct or main pancreatic duct visible without dilatation, ii. cutoff of the distal extrahepatic bile duct or main pancreatic duct with upstream dilatation, iii. cutoff of the intrapancreatic or head segment with upstream dilatation and remnant intrapancreatic or head segments invisible, iv. cutoff of the intrapancreatic or head segment with upstream dilatation and nondilated remnant intrapancreatic or head segments, were represented as 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Segment patterns of B1/P0+ B1/P1, B0/P2+ B0/P3+ B2/P2+ B2/P3+ B3/P3, B3/P0, and B0/P0+ B2/P0 on MRCP were compared in PAC patients.Results:Of the 125 patients, there were 57 (45.6%) with pancreatic head carcinoma, 36 (28.8%) with ampullary carcinoma, 20 (16.0%) with distal cholangiocarcinoma, and 12 (9.6%) with periampullary duodenal carcinoma. Segment patterns of B0/P2+ B0/P3+ B2/P2+ B2/P3+ B3/P3 were found in 52 patients with pancreatic head carcinoma (91.2%, 52/57), with a significant difference between PAC (χ 2=110.66, P<0.001). Segment patterns of B1/P0+ B1/P1were found in 36 patients with ampullary carcinoma (100.0%, 36/36), fallowed by 11 (91.7%, 11/12) with periampullary duodenal carcinoma, with a significant difference between PAC (χ 2=129.95, P<0.001). Segment pattern of B3/P0 presented in 16 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma (80.0%, 16/20), with a significant difference between PAC (χ 2=62.45, P<0.001). The segment patterns of B0/P0+ B2/P0 were only seen in 3 of 57(5.3%) patients with pancreatic head carcinoma. Conclusion:On MRCP, cutoff of the head segment with upstream dilatation and remnant head segment invisible or nondilated indicates the pancreatic head carcinoma. Cutoff of the intrapancreatic segment with upstream dilatation, remnant intrapancreatic segment visible, and main pancreatic duct nondilated, indicates the distal cholangiocarcinoma. And cutoff of the distal extrahepatic segment with upstream dilatation and main pancreatic duct dilatation or not, indicates the ampullary or periampullary duodenal carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the value of machine learning-based computed tomography (CT) images radiomics analysis in preoperative evaluation of surgical portal vein-superior mesenteric vein (PV-SMV) invasion in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:The retrospective study was conducted with 156 consecutive PDAC patients who were underwent surgery at the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2010 and July 2021. There were 95 males and 61 females, with the age of (65.7±8.2) years. Patients were randomly split into training set and validation set by a ratio of 3∶2. Minimum redundancy maximum relevance was used to select radiomic features, which were extracted from contrast-enhanced CT images. Five machine learning classifiers were developed, and those models' area under the curve (AUC) values were compared with the conventional radiologic-feature-based evaluation.Results:Ninety-four and 52 patients were included into the training set and validation set, respectively. Their PV-SMV invasion rates were confirmed by intraoperative exploration with 31.9%(30/94) and 40.3%(25/61), respectively. Five models: LASSO regression, random forest, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor and Naive Bayesian, were established based on ten features from CT images radiomics, and LASSO regression model achieved the highest AUC value compared with the other four models (all P<0.05). Compared with the conventional radiologic evaluation, the LASSO regression model had higher AUC (0.920 vs. 0.752) and sensitivity (92.0% vs. 86.5%)(both P<0.05). Conclusion:Machine learning-based CT images radiomics analysis can be used to evaluate PV-SMV invasion status preoperatively in PDAC. The LASSO regression model showed better performance than the conventional radiologic evaluation.

Objective:To compare CT with MRI on the accuracy in TNM staging of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) based on the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer System and Pathological Staging.Methods:From October 2013 to October 2019, 105 patients who had pathologically confirmed PDAC treated at the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively studied. Of 52 patients who met the inclusion criteria, there were 32 males and 20 females, with age ranging from 45 to 84 years (mean 66.1 years). Based on the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer System and Pathological Staging, CT was compared with MRI in their accuracies in categorizing TNM and staging of PDAC.Results:Forty-three of 52 patients who underwent curative resection had a mean tumor size of (3.4±1.2) cm, compared with tumor sizes of (3.3±1.2) cm and (3.3±1.4) cm on CT and MRI, respectively. No significant differences were observed between gross pathological examination and CT ( P>0.05) or MRI ( P>0.05). The accuracy of T, N, and M categories on CT versus (vs) MRI was 97.7% (42/43) vs 97.7% (42/43), 79.1% (34/43) vs 76.7% (33/43), and 100% (9/9) vs 88.9% (8/9), respectively. No significant differences were observed between the two modalities ( P>0.05). The overall accuracy of PDAC staging on CT vs MRI was 82.7% (43/52) vs 76.9% (40/52), respectively. There was also no significant difference between the two modalities ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both CT and MRI had similar accuracies in categorizing TNM and staging of PDAC. However, the accuracies of T and M stages were higher than that of the N stage for these two imaging modalities.

Objective:To explore the quantitative analysis value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for early changes of calf muscle in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients without peripheral ischemia.Methods:From September 2018 to March 2019, 20 male T2DM patients (age: 45-64 years) without peripheral ischemia and 20 matched male healthy controls (age: 46-62 years) who performed lower limb DTI in Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were prospectively analyzed. Fractional anisotropy (FA), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 values of medial head of gastrocnemius (GM), lateral head of gastrocnemius (GL), tibialis anterior(TA) and soleus muscles(SOL) were measured respectively. The differences of DTI diffusion characteristics between 2 groups were compared by using independent-sample t test, and the correlation between FA, ADC and body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), hemoglobin A 1c (HbA1c), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride (TG) were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The ADC of TA and SOL in T2DM group ((1.77±0.15) and (1.83±0.10)×10 -3 mm 2/s) was higher than that in control group ((1.66±0.11) and (1.75±0.16)×10 -3 mm 2/s); λ 1, λ 2, and λ 3 of TA in the T2DM group ((2.30±0.21), (1.63±0.17) and (1.38±0.13)×10 -3 mm 2/s) were higher than those in control group ((2.17±0.12), (1.51±0.13) and (1.31±0.12)×10 -3 mm 2/s); λ 2 and λ 3 of SOL were also higher than those in control group ((1.74±0.11) vs (1.64±0.18)×10 -3 mm 2/s and (1.53±0.12) vs (1.44±0.15)×10 -3 mm 2/s; t values: 2.65-3.91, all P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between FA, ADC and BMI, FBG, HbA1c, HDL, LDL and TG ( r values: from -0.15 to 0.08, all P>0.05). Conclusions:Quantitative parameters of DTI, especially ADC, can sensitively detect the microstructural changes of calf muscle in T2DM patients without peripheral ischemia. TA and SOL have high sensitivity to the diffusion of T2DM-related microstructural changes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination in preoperative evaluation of adjacent organ invasion for periampullary carcinomas (PACs).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 81 patients with PACs who were admitted to the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2013 to June 2019 were collected. There were 52 males and 29 females, aged from 41 to 80 years, with an average age of 62 years. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and pathological outcomes; (2) evaluation of adjacent organ invasion on CT and MRI examination for PACs; (3) comparison of diagnostic accuracy between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs; (4) auxiliary and feature images of adjacent organ invasion for PACs; (5) comparison between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under curve were used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs. Consistency was compared using the κ test. Results:(1) Surgical and pathological outcomes: of the 81 patients, 76 underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, 5 underwent palliative gastrojejunostomy or biliary drainage combined with biopsy, including the pancreas, duodenum, or lymph nodes. Of the 81 patients, 35 had pancreatic head carcinoma including 26 with duodenal invasion and 9 without duodenal invasion; 23 had ampullary carcinoma including 17 with duodenal invasion, 4 with both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion, and 2 without duodenal invasion or pancreatic invasion; 17 had distal bile duct carcinoma (including papillary type in 4 patients and periductal infiltrative type in 13 patients), of which 8 had duodenal invasion, 1 had duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion (pathological classification of the 9 patients was periductal infiltrative type), 8 had neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion; 6 had duodenal carcinoma including 4 with pancreatic invasion and 2 without pancreatic invasion. (2) Evaluation of adjacent organ invasion on CT and MRI examination for PACs: of the 35 patients with pancreatic head carcinoma, duodenal invasion was identified in 25 patients and no duodenal invasion in 10 patients on both CT and MRI examination. Of the 23 patients with ampullary carcinoma, duodenal invasion, pancreatic invasion, both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion, and neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion were identified in 17, 1, 4, and 1 patients on CT examination, respectively; the above indicators were identified in 15, 2, 4, and 2 patients on MRI examination. Of the 17 patients with distal bile duct carcinoma, pancreatic invasion, both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion, and neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion were identified in 8, 1, and 8 patients on CT examination, respectively; the above indicators were identified in 9, 1, and 7 patients on MRI examination. Of the 6 patients with duodenal carcinoma, pancreatic invasion and no pancreatic invasion were identified in 3 and 3 patients on both CT and MRI examination.(3) Comparison of diagnostic accuracy between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs: two reviewers had good agreement in assessing adjacent organ invasion on CT examination for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, and distal bile duct carcinoma ( κ=0.868, 0.701, 0.881, P<0.05), but they had poor agreement for duodenal carcinoma ( κ=0.333, P>0.05). Meanwhile, two reviewers had good agreement in assessing adjacent organ invasion on MRI examination for pancreatic head carcinoma and ampullary carcinoma( κ=0.860, 0.747, P<0.05), and moderate agreement for distal bile duct carcinoma ( κ=0.643, P<0.05), but they had poor agreement for duodenal carcinoma ( κ=0.333, P>0.05). (4) Auxiliary and feature images of adjacent organ invasion for PACs: for the 25 patients who had pancreatic head carcinoma with duodenal invasion on CT and MRI examination, based on well filling in duodenum, 12 patients showed locally morphological change of lumen and flattened or disappeared duodenal mucosal folds on negative contrast CT cholangiopancreatography; 14 patients showed similar signs on T2 weighted imaging or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The 17 patients who had distal bile duct carcinoma with pancreatic invasion on CT and MRI examination were periductal infiltrative type. Pancreatic invasion manifested as local thickenness of ductal wall with marked enhancement and narrowed ductal lumen, which was indistinguishable from the pancreas, and the pancreatic parenchyma showed hyperdense or hyperintense signs similar with the lesion, like a "transmural" sign. One patient with both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion showed locally thickened and enhanced duodenal wall on both CT and MRI examination. Four patients, who had papillary type distal bile duct carcinoma with neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion, showed intraductal growing mass which had a discernible boundary to the pancreas and slighter enhancement than infiltrative type on both CT and MRI examination. (5) Comparison between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs: CT examination evaluating adjacent organ invasion for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, and duodenal carcinoma had a sensibility of 92.3%, 90.5%, 88.9%, 75.0%, a specificity of 88.9%, 50.0%, 87.5%, 100.0%, an accuracy of 0.906, 0.702, 0.882, 0.875, respectively. MRI examination evaluating adjacent organ invasion for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, and duodenal carcinoma had a sensibility of 88.5%, 85.7%, 88.9%, 75.0%, a specificity of 77.8%, 50.0%, 75.0%, 100.0%, an accuracy of 0.831, 0.679, 0.819, 0.875. There was no significant difference in sensibility for pancreatic head carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, or duodenal carcinoma between CT and MRI examination( χ2=3.140, 0.141, 0.444, P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in sensibility for ampullary carcinoma ( χ2=13.263, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in specificity for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, or distal bile duct carcinoma between CT and MRI examination( χ2=0.321, 2.000, 3.429, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in accuracy for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, or duodenal carcinoma between CT and MRI examination( Z=0.967, 0.273, 0.559, 0.000, P>0.05). Conclusion:CT and MRI examination can be used for preoperative evaluation of adjacent organ invasion for periampullary carcinoma, with similar performance in specificity and accuracy, however, CT examination has a higher sensibility for ampullary carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the application value of 3D printing technology in preoperative evaluation of laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer.Methods:The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 60 patients with right colon cancer who were admitted to the Affiliated Wuxi Second People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to November of 2019 were collected. Patients were randomly divided into two groups by random number method. All the 60 patients were examined by plain scan and enhanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) preoperatively. Patients with vascular images printed into a 1∶1 full simulation entity using the 3D printing technology were divided into 3D printing group, and patients who only completed the plain scan and enhanced CT examination were divided into control group. All the 60 patients underwent laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for right colon cancer. Observation indicators: (1) anatomic courses of Henle trunk of the 3D printing group in the preoperative 3D printing models and their consistency with intraoperative anatomic courses; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations of two groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the independent-sample t test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Results:A total of 60 patients were selected for eligibility, including 42 males and 18 females, aged (64±7)years, with a range from 44 to 78 years. Of the 60 patients, 30 were in the 3D printing group and 30 were in the control group. (1) Anatomic courses of Henle trunk of the 3D printing group in the preoperative 3D printing models and their consistency with intraoperative anatomic courses: Henle trunk was observed in 28 of the 30 patients in the 3D printing group. Of the 28 patients, 7 had the gastropancreatic trunk of 2 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein and the superior anterior pancreaticoduodenal vein, 13 had the gastrocolonic trunk of 2 or 3 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein, the middle colonic vein and (or) the right colonic vein (including 4 cases with gastrocolonic trunk of 2 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein and the middle colonic vein, 6 cases with gastrocolonic trunk of 2 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein and the right colonic vein, 3 cases with gastrocolonic trunk of 3 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein, the middle colonic vein and the right colonic vein), 8 had the gastropancreaticocolonic trunk of 3 or 4 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein, the superior anterior pancreaticoduodenal vein, the right colonic vein and (or) the middle colonic vein (including 4 cases with gastropancreaticocolonic trunk of 3 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein, the superior anterior pancreaticoduodenal vein and the middle colonic vein, 2 cases with gastropancreaticocolonic trunk of 3 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein, the superior anterior pancreaticoduodenal vein and the right colonic vein, 2 cases with gastropancreaticocolonic trunk of 4 branches formed with the right gastroepiploic vein, the superior anterior pancreaticoduodenal vein, the right colonic vein and the middle colonic vein). The consistency of anatomic courses of Henle trunk of the 28 patients in the preoperative 3D printing models with intraoperative anatomic courses of bared Henle trunk was 100%(28/28). (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations of two groups: the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the numbers of lymph node dissected, cases with postoperative complications (cases with incision infection, cases with intestinal obstruction, cases with anastomotic leakage, cases with pulmonary infection), postoperative duration of hospital of the 3D printing group were (147±18)minutes, (79±29)mL, 19.1±2.8, 3 (1, 1, 0, 1), (9.0±2.5)days, respectively. The above indicators of the control group were (172±16)minutes, (118±17)mL, 15.6±2.6, 4(1, 1, 1, 1), (9.1±2.6)days, respectively. There were significant differences in the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the numbers of lymph node dissected between the two groups ( t=-5.630, -18.400, 3.318, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the cases with postoperative complications and postoperative duration of hospital between the two groups ( χ2=0.875, t=0.103, P>0.05). Conclusion:For laparoscopic right colon cancer radical resection, 3D printing technology can effectively evaluate the preoperative vascular anatomic courses, which can shorten operation time, reduce volume of intraoperative blood loss and improve the number of lymph node dissected. Trial Registration: This study was registrated at Chinese Clinical Trail Registry with the registration number of ChiCTR1800017161.

Objective: To explore the value of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and image fusion technology in preoperative evaluation of laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer. Methods: The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer in the Affiliated Wuxi Second People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2018 to March 2019 were collected. There were 39 males and 21 females, aged from 45 to 81 years, with an average age of 67 years. All patients underwent abdominal multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) plain scan and dual-phase enhanced scan before operation. The original CT images were observed by multiplanar reconstruction and performed three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of blood vessels by volume rendering. The CT images of arterial vessels with large density difference were abstracted by threshold segmentation and direct abstraction, and the CT images of venous vessels with small density difference were abstracted by region growing method. Then the 3D images of blood vessels were obtained after image fusion with red and blue pseudocolor added. All the 60 patients were performed laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer by the same surgical team, and were identified inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and branches after being bared vessels, including anatomic course of left colonic artery (LCA), sigmoid artery (SA), and superior rectal artery (SRA). Observation indicators: (1) anatomic courses of IMA, LCA, SA, and SRA on the 3D images and their consistency with intraoperative anatomic courses; (2) the first branch of IMA and the distances from the root of IMA to the first branch and from the root of IMA to bifurcation point of the abdominal aorta on 3D images of blood vessels; (3) the spatial relationship between the horizontal level of LCA and the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) on the 2D CT images and 3D images of blood vessels. Measurement data were represented as Mean±SD, and count data were represented as absolute numbers and percentages. Results: (1) Anatomic courses of IMA, LCA, SA and SRA on the 3D images and their consistency with intraoperative anatomic courses: of the 60 patients, 31 (51.7%) had type Ⅰ anatomic course of IMA on the 3D images, with LCA and SA from the common trunk; 9 (15.0%) had type Ⅱ, with LCA and SA from the common trunk; 18 (30.0%) had type Ⅲ, with LCA, SA, and SRA from the common trunk; 2 (3.3%) had type Ⅳ, with no LCA. The consistency of anatomic courses of IMA, LCA, SA, and SRA on the 3D images with intraoperative anatomic courses of bared IMA, LCA, SA, and SRA was 100.0%(60/60). (2) The first branch of IMA and the distances from the root of IMA to its first branch and from the root of IMA to the bifurcation point of abdominal aorta on 3D images of blood vessels: of the 60 patients, 49 (81.7%) had LCA as the first branch of IMA, 11 (18.3%) had SRA or SA as the first branch of IMA. The distances from the root of IMA to its first branch and from the root of IMA to the bifurcation point of abdominal aorta on 3D images of blood vessels were (41±6)cm and (42±7)cm. (3) The spatial relationship between the horizontal level of LCA and the IMV on the 2D CT images and 3D images of blood vessels: two patients of type Ⅳ were excluded from the 60 patients. On the 2D CT images of the rest 58 patients, 39 (67.2%) had LCA adjacent to IMV and 19 (32.8%) had LCA distal to IMV at the horizontal level of IMA root. On the 3D images of blood vessels in the rest 58 patients, 37 (63.8%) had the LCA located at the ventral side of IMV, and 21 (36.2%) had the LCA located at the dorsal side of the IMV. Conclusion Muiti-slice CTA and image fusion technology can visually display the anatomic course and variation of IMA and its branches, which has high clinical application value.

Objective To study the role of MDCT with 3D fusion images in the preoperative evaluation of pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods 37 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from March 2016 to May 2018 in the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were included in this retrospective study.All patients underwent a dual-phase enhanced MDCT before operation.The volume data of enhanced MDCT were transmitted to a dedicated CT post-processing workstation.The 3D images,including the tumor,pancreas,portal vein system,arterial system,pancreatic and biliary tract,were reformatted respectively before the fusion imaging.Two reviewers analyzed the tumor location and its spatial relations with the pancreaticobiliary system,peripancreatic vessels and vascular variations by means of zooming,rotating,splitting and transparent displaying on fusion images.Then,the assessed items were compared to the surgical and pathological findings.Results The 3D fusion images of 37 patients in this study depicted the tumor,pancreas,peripancreatic vessels and pancreatic and biliary tract clearly.Compared with the intraoperative and pathological findings,the accuracy of both tumor detection and localization with the 3D fusion images was 100％.To compare the intraoperative findings,visualization and variation detection of the celiac,splenic,common hepatic,gastroduodenal,hepatic,and superior mesenteric arteries,and the superior mesenteric and portal veins were all 100％.Visualizations of the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA),posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDA),inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPA) and dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA) were 85.7％,82.8％,72.2％ and 75.8％,respectively.Conclusion The MDCT 3D fusion imaging technology allowed one stop preoperative assessment of pancreaticoduodenectomy,especially in clearly outlining the tumor location and its spatial relations with the surrounding surgical anatomies before surgery.

Objective To fabricate manganese-doped carbon quantum dots(Mn-CDs)@anti-human epididymis protein 4(HE4)monoclonal antibody(Mn-CDs@Anti-HE4 mAb)dual-modal fluorescent-magnetic nanoprobe for ovarian cancer cells targeting imaging,and evaluate its potential on fluorescent imaging and MRL Methods Mn-CDs were synthesized at 150 ℃ with solvothermal method.The average diameter,fluorescent capability and MRI efficiency were determined.The cytotoxicity of Mn-CDs in vitro was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium(MTS)assay with HO-8910 ovarian cancer stem cells and EA.hy926 human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Mn-CDs@Anti-HE4 mAb was fabricated with condensation reaction and characterized by ultraviolet(UV)absorption spectra.Fluorescence imaging and MRI in vitro was performed for cancer cell-targeting study.One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference t test were used to analyze the data.Results The Mn-CDs with diameter of(4.64±0.85)nm showed a well-defined spherical morphology.The fluorescent spectra of Mn-CDs exhibited a typical excitation-dependent behavior with an excitation maximum at 360 nm and emission maximum at 440 nm.The T1 relaxation rate was(3.26±0.04)mmol ? L-1 ? s-1.The cytotoxicity tests in vitro showed that the survival rates of HO-8910 cells and EA.hy926 cells were both significantly different after treated with different concentrations of Mn-CDs(F= 1 947.509,260.174,both P<0.05),and there was no cytotoxicity in both HO-8910 cells and EA.hy926 cells at concentrations of MnCDs within 0-2.5 mg/ml(all P>0.05),while the survival rates of the two kinds of cells were descended with the increasing of concentration within 3.0-4.5 mg/ml(P<0.05).Mn-CDs@Anti-HE4 mAb could target HO-8910 cells on fluorescence imaging and MRI.Conclusions Mn-CDs@Anti-HE4 mAb,with good potential on fluorescence imaging,MRI and targeting ability,is successfully synthesized.It may provide a new method for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of computed tomography (CT) examination of subacute gallbladder perforation.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 24 patients with subacute gallbladder perforation who were admitted to the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2013 and January 2018 were collected.Patients underwent abdominal plain scan and enhanced scan in the arterial phase and portal venous phase of CT,and received percutaneous cholecystostomy,cholecystectomy,choledocholithotomy,T-tube drainage according to their conditions.Observation indicators and evaluation criteria:(1) CT examination situations."Barrier lake sign" is defined as presence of obvious or occult crevasse in the discontinuous gallbladder wall,with interrupt line seen in the portal venous phase and without crevasse enhancement.There is patchy effusion circled by annular wall around crevasse of gallbladder,shape like barrier lake,appearing as oval,semicircle,circular sector,triangle,etc.Annular wall consists of abscess wall,liver margin or both of them.With smooth inner wall of the abscess and irregular outer wall,abscess wall may be complicated with inflammatory exudation and strip shadow,showing intense enhancement in the venous phase.(2) Treatment and follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect complications after discharge up to January 2018.Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range).Results (1) CT examination situations.① Completion status and primary diseases:of 24 patients,2 underwent abdominal plain scan,22 underwent abdominal plain scan combined with enhanced scan in the arterial phase and portal venous phase.The primary disease of all the 24 patients was biliary stone,including 18 located in gallbladder cavity,4 located at gallbladder neck and 2 combined with gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones.The maximum diameter was 2.0 cm (range,0.3-2.5 cm)in the 24 patients.② Crevasse of subacute gallbladder perforation:perforations were detected at the bottom of gallbladder in 11 patients,at body of gallbladder in 7 patients (1 with multiple perforations),at gallbladder neck in 1 patient,at bottom and body of gallbladder in 2 patients,and perforation spot was unable to judge in 3 patients.The maximum diameter of occult crevasses was ＜0.2 cm in 2 patients and maximum diameter of crevasses was 0.5 cm (range,0.2-1.0 cm) in other 22 with defined perforation spot.③ Imaging manifestations of "barrier lake sign":24 patients had manifestation of "barrier lake sign".Annular wall consisted of abscess wall,liver margin or both of them was found in 15,3,6 patients respectively.Gallbladder was partially or totally wrapped by abscess in 21 and 3 patients respectively.④ Gallbladder situation:of 24 patients,23 and 1 had gall bladder volume increased significantly and decreased slightly,with a maximum diameter of 10.0 cm (range,6.0-13.0 cm) and thickness of hydropic gallbladder wall as 0.5 cm (range,0.3-1.3 cm).⑤ Other effusion signs:24 patients had increased fat interval density around gallbladder,partly showing cord-like and line-like changes.(2) Treatment and follow-up situations:of 24 patients,10 underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy,6 underwent open cholecystectomy,4 underwent cholecystectomy + choledocholithotomy + T-tube drainage,1 was converted to open cholecystectomy + choledocholithotomy + T-tube drainage after laparoscopic exploration,3 underwent cholecystectomy at 2 months after percutaneous cholecystostomy combined with anti-inflammatory treatment.Of 24 patients,22 were followed up for 6-31 months with a median time of 11 months.During the follow-up,2 patients were detected residual stones at fossa for gallbladder and end of the common bile duct,2 were detected cholangitis with stones,1 died of tumor,and other 17 survived well without recurrence of calculus or other complications.Conclusion The "barrier lake sign" is a typical feature of CT examination of subacute gallbladder perforation,which provides timely and accurately differential diagnosis and clinical treatment.
