ObjectiveTo systematically review the overall diagnostic efficacy of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI in differentiating dysplastic nodules (DNs) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), exploring whether the hepatobiliary phase can effectively improve diagnostic accuracy. MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, and CBM databases were searched from January 1998 to March 2023 to identify original studies on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for the differential diagnosis of DNs and HCC. Two investigators independently performed literature screening, extraction of data features and quality assessment. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 and Meta-disc1.4 software. ResultsA total of 14 papers were included in this meta-analysis, including 375 DNs and 653 HCC. The results of meta-analysis showed that, in the multiparametric diagnostic sequence, the pooled Sen, Spe, PLR, NLR and AUC were 0.95 (95%CI 0.87 to 0.98), 0.95 (95%CI 0.91 to 0.97), 18.57 (95%CI 9.64 to 35.78), 0.06 (95%CI 0.02 to 0.14) and 0.98 (95%CI 0.97 to 0.99), respectively. ConclusionGd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI has a good differential diagnostic value for DNs and HCC. Hepatobiliary phase imaging also greatly compensates for the diagnostic deficiency of dynamic enhancement with low sensitivity for early HCC.
The expression of C-erb B-2 oncogene protein in the tissues of normal breast, atypical cystic hyperplasia of breast and breast carcinoma were determined in order to analyse the significance of the changes of C-erb B-2 oncogene in the course from atypical hyperplasia to carcinoma of breast. Results: there were no expression of C-erb B-2 protein in the tissues of normal breast and cystic hyperplasia of breast with epithelia proliferation grade Ⅰ. The positive rates of the expressions of C-erb B-2 protein in the tissues of atypical hyperplasia grades Ⅱ, Ⅲ and carcinoma of breast were 20.0%, 40.0% and 54.2% respectively. The results indicated that the abnormal changes of C-erb B-2 nocogene might occured in the carcinomatous transformation phase along with the changes from normal breast epithelial cell through atypical hyperplasia to breast cancer, those changes could be the result or promotion factor of abnormal proliferation of atypical hyperplasia of breast and was one of the markers of malignant transformation of epithelia of breast.
目的 探讨不典型胎盘早剥的临床特点。 方法 对2008年5月-2009年5月收治的55例胎盘早剥患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析。其中产前漏诊30例,疑诊15例,确诊10例。胎盘早剥的产前确诊率为18.2%,漏诊率为54.5%。所有患者均经产后证实。 结果 重度子痫前期(25.5%)、胎膜早破(12.7%)是胎盘早剥的主要发病诱因;阴道流血(52.7%)、腰腹痛(47.3%)及胎心异常(36.4%)是其常见的临床表现。胎盘早剥者,剖宫产率、胎儿窘迫及早产率均增加。 结论 不典型胎盘早剥病情隐匿。后壁胎盘、早剥面积小及B型超声检查阴性是漏诊的主要原因。对此患者应提高认识,动态监测,及时处理,以改善母婴结局。
To investigate the changes of tenascin (TN) expression during the course of canceration through atypical hyperplasia of breast epithelia. The SP immunohistochemical method was used to study TN expresson in 50 different breast tissues. Results: There was no TN expression in normal breast and grade Ⅰ hyperplasia; immunostaining of TN was detected in 2 cases with grade Ⅱ atypical hyperplasia; the expression of TN in grade Ⅲ atypical hyperplasia (80%) and infiltrating ductal breast cancer (90%) was significantly higher than that in grade Ⅱ atypical hyperplasia (20%); and immunostaining of TN was detected in part of the cancer cells. Conclusion: These results suggest that TN expression in the stroma of serious atypical hyperplasia may play a role in limiting the outgrowth of hyperplastic epithelia.
The DNA content, cellular ultrastructure and the expression of blood group Y antigen and immunosuppressive acidic protein-2(IAP-2) were observed in normal breast, cystic hyperplasia of breast and breast cancer. The results showed: the results observed in the cells of cystic hyperplasia with epithelial proliferation grade Ⅰ were similar to those in normal breast cells. The DNA content increased, the hypoplasia and dedifferentiation features in some structures of cellular membrane and nucleus were observed, and the abnormal antigens expressed in part of the atypical hyperplasic cells. The DNA content and ultrastructure in a part of cells with aypical hyperplasia grade Ⅲ were similar to those in the cells of breast cancer grade Ⅰ. The results indicated that in the couse of atypical hyperplasia, the biological abnormalities and its extent of those cells were closely related to the differentiation extent, the developing tendency and the risk of canceration of the cystic hyperplasia of breast.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the changes of myoepithelial cells in mammary atypical hyperplasia and breast cancer. MethodsSP immunohistochemistry was used to detect actin expression in normal breast tissue, grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ atypical hyperplasia and breast cancer. Electromicroscopy was used to observe the changes of ultrastructure of myoepithelial cells. Results Actin was only detected in myoepithelial cells of normal breast tissue and grade Ⅰand Ⅱ atypical hyperplasia. The positive expression rates of actin in grade Ⅲ atypical hyperplasia(70%) and breast cancer(90%) were significantly higher than that in grade Ⅱ atypical hyperplasia(10%),P<0.01. In mammary atypical hyperplasia, the number of myoepithelial cells increased with disturbed alignment and abnormal ultrastructure. The changes included that the protrusions on the cell surface diminished, myofilaments and pinosomes in the myoepithelial cells of grade Ⅱ, Ⅲ atypical hyperplasia decreased, and the irregularity of the nuclear morphosis and the increase of nuclear heterochromosome were found. ConclusionThe changes of actin expression in atypical hyperplasia are possibly correlated with carcinogenesis of breast cancer, and myoepithelial cells may play a role in carcinogenesis of breast cancer.
Thymic epithelial tumors represent the most common neoplasms of the anterior mediastinum, while atypical type A thymoma is a rare subtype of thymoma. On the morphological basis of type A thymoma, this tumor exhibits some atypical histological features, such as abundant cells, increased mitotic counts, tumor necrosis, and increased Ki67 index. At present, the clinical and pathological data of this tumor is still available. Since it was formally named, 16 cases have been reported around the world. In order to improve the understanding of the disease, this article reviews the related literature and tries to elaborate the atypical type A thymoma from the aspects of pathological features, clinical manifestations, epidemiology and differential diagnosis.
Barrett’s esophagus is considered an important risk factor for the pathogenesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Treatment strategies for diseases from high-grade dysplasia (HGD) to adenocarcinoma are different. The recurrence rates of endoscopic treatment and anti-reflux surgery are comparatively higher. Abnormal lesions of the esophagus can be completely resected by esophagectomy for the treatment of HGD to adenocarcinoma, and treatment outcomes are confirmed.But appropriate surgical strategies and lymph node dissection scopes should be chosen according to different cancer staging.Lymph node metastasis is a major factor in determining prognosis.
