Objective:the purpose of this study was to compare with conventionalultrasound and elastography scoring system, to validate the value of strain ratioultrasound elastography (UE) in the differentiation between benign andmalignant enlarged cervical lymph nodes (LNs).Materials and methods: B-mode ultrasound (B-US), color Doppler flowimage (CDFI) and UE were examined in89lymph nodes (malignant, n=52;benign, n=37) of70patients, with histological [...]

Background and purpose:Cervical lymph node enlargement is a common clinical manifestations, the etiology is of the following three:first, inflammatory lymph node change, including lymph node tuberculosis and lymphadenitis; second, a variety of malignant cervical lymph node metastasis, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, Aden carcinoma of lymph node metastasis, upper respiratory tract, digestive tract [...]

Objective This study was to investigate the value of diffusion weightedwhole body imaging with background suppression(DWIBS)in differentiationbetween benign,malignant lymph nodes and lymphoma in abdominal lymphnodes (celiac and inguinal lymph nodes).Methods DWIBS(b=800)sequence records of225abdominal lymphnodes confirmed by operation and pathology were studied,including135intraperitoneal metastatic lymph nodes,90benign lesions.The apparentdiffusion coefficients (ADC) of malignant lesions benign lesions andlymphomas were [...]

1Background and PurposeIn the western countries, the incidence of eophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (AEG) including gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) is rising significantly during the past decades. Although the epidemiological data of GCA in China is not profound as in esophageal cancer (EC), an increasing tendency for GCA has been observed in China, especially in municipal regions. [...]

1. Background and ObjectiveEsophageal carcinoma is one of the most common six malignant tumors in the world. It is late founded and with poorly prognosis. Its five-year survival rate of patients with middle and advanced cancer is only about10%. Lymph node metastasis is one of the most important factors affecting the long-term survival in patients [...]

This study was divided into two parts:Part One was clinical cases study, to evaluatethe correlation between the quantized indexs SUV and ADC values of18F-FDG PET/CTand MRI DWI in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma;Part Two was Animal experiments,toassess the value of PET/CT and MR DWI in discrimination between benign and malignantlymph nodes in rabbits model.Part One: The [...]

Objective To observe the distribution of lymphatic tissues in supporting ligamentsaround the cervix uteri.Methods After incised the entire cardinal ligaments,uterosacral ligaments andvesicouterine ligaments of9adult female cadavers,HE staining and immunohistochemicalanalysis of different positions of paraffin sections of these ligaments were performed toobserve the distribution of lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels by using D2-40,a specificmarker of lymphatic [...]

Objective:Regional nodal metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma plays an important role in the definition of radiotherapy area and clinical staging, it is also one of the main factors influencing prognosis. So this study was designed to explore the pattern of metastatic lymph nodes for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which may provide a basis of clinical treatment [...]

Objective To explore the feasibility of MAGE-1, MAGE-3 mRNA as markers of micrometastasis in lymph node of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Subiects MAGE-1, MAGE-3 mRNA in lymph node were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 60 patients with HCC, 9 hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis, 5 the metastatic liver cancer, 4hepatic hemangioma. [...]
