应用图象定量分析研究大肠癌的血管生成

目的：探讨血管生成与大肠癌的发生、发展的关系，评估图象定量分析系统在对血管生成程度（MVD值）分析的应用价值。方法：取45例大肠癌石蜡标本和10例正常大肠组织标本，以抗Ⅷ因子相关抗原抗体对所选的标本的血管内皮细胞进行免疫组化染色，应用计算机图象分析系统和人工计数的方法测定微血管密度。结果：微血管人工计数和图象定量分析均反映，在正常大肠组织、大肠癌组织之间血管生成程度有明显的差别，并且MVD值与大肠癌的临床分期、转移有关。结论：血管生成是大肠癌的发生、发展的一个重要阶段，应用图象定量分析系统可以更精确、更客观地对血管生成程度进行评估。     

Possibility of using the spot camera in the documentation of the arterial phase in urography

32 patients have been examined with sequential angiourography (AUS) and image subtraction, utilizing a spot-camera instead of a rapid seriograph, for the visualization of the vascular phase of the renal artery. Satisfactory results have been obtained since in 96.9% of the cases (31/32) it has been possible to obtain representation of those structures sufficient for a clinical evaluation. This technique for its low cost and simplicity of execution can therefore be proposed as a routine examination in the suspect of vascular renal pathology. This method and the more diffuse AUS with rapid seriograph offer, with respect to digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the advantage of a better nephrographic and urographic phase due to the higher quantity of contrast medium injected.

MRI in the assessment of the supportive soft tissues of the cervical spine in acute trauma in children

We carried out a retrospective analysis of imaging and clinical findings in 52 children with a history of cervical spinal trauma. No patient had evidence of a fracture on plain films or CT. All had MRI at 1.5 T because of persistent or delayed symptoms, unexplained findings of injury or instability, or as further assessment of the extent of soft-tissue injury. Clinical follow-up ranged from 6 months to 3.5 years. MRI was evaluated for its influence on therapy and outcome. MRI was positive in 16 (31 %) of 52 patients. Posterior soft-tissue or ligamentous injury was the most common finding in the 10 patients with mild to moderate trauma, while acute disc bulges and longitudinal ligament disruption, each seen in one case, were uncommon. MRI was superior to CT for assessment of the extent of soft-tissue injury and for identification of spinal cord injuries and intracanalicular hemorrhage in the six patients with more severe trauma. MRI specifically influenced the management of all four patients requiring surgery by extending the level of posterior stabilization. No patients with normal MRI or any of the 10 with radiographically stable soft-tissue injury on MRI, developed delayed clinical or radiographic evidence of instability or deformity.

Evaluation of the second-generation Meniscus Arrow in the fixation of bucket-handle tears in the vascular area of the meniscus

The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate whether the shorter degradation time of the second-generation Meniscus Arrow would be adequate to allow meniscal healing and whether equally good results could be achieved compared to the first generation implant. We also wanted to assess whether some of the implant related complications could be avoided with the altered absorption time. A total of 20 patients were included in this study. The mean follow-up was 26 months. The average Lysholm score at the final follow-up was 90. There were 13 second-look arthroscopies performed during the follow-up and in them two failures of the repaired menisci to heal were seen. Seven patients were found with some degree of chondral irritation of the femoral condyle corresponding to the repair site. The second generation Meniscus Arrow seems to give results comparable to the first generation Meniscus Arrow. The potential complications caused by the implant reported in the earlier literature using the first generation arrow are possible also using this implant. In seven of the 13 second-look arthroscopies some degree of chondral irritation corresponding to the repair site was seen. The clinical relevance of these lesions remains to be seen.

Diagnostic errors in the echography of the hip in newborns

Neonatal hip sonography according to Graf employs a standardized image in a frontal section plane ("3-point system") and a good scanner adjustment (the femoral head must be anechoic, like the hyaline cartilage roof triangle). Pathologic conditions can change some of these parameters. The authors examined 6,000 neonatal hips in order to point out the commonest causes of diagnostic error. Two types of error were considered: method errors and interpretation errors. Method errors: they are due to the choice of transducer and frequency, to scanner adjustment and definition of the standard section plane. Their incidence was 2.25% and supported by an uncorrect definition of the standard section plane. Interpretation errors: they come from the wrong localization of some reference points--i.e., lower iliac margin, labrum--, uncorrect evaluation of increased echogenicity of the cartilaginous roof, infant age, application of radiographic criteria and uncorrect measurements of alpha and beta angles. Interpretation errors had 5.5% incidence; they were all due to the uncorrect measurement of alpha (3.18%) and beta (2.33%) angles, especially in pathological hips (68%). To reduce the number of errors, the authors suggest to strictly apply Graf's method, to make a diagnosis based on the morphological changes of the cartilaginous and osseous acetabular roof and, only later on, to measure alpha and beta angles to confirm the diagnosis or in the follow-up.     

MRI in the diagnosis of cartilage injury in the wrist

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the accuracy of MRI in identifying articular cartilage abnormalities in the distal radius, scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum of patients with wrist pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-six MRI examinations of the wrist in 85 patients (41 indirect MR arthrograms and 45 unenhanced [nonarthrographic] MR images) were evaluated. The study population consisted of 47 male (54.7%) and 38 female (45.3%) patients with an average age of 37.5 years (range, 7-62 years). Three experienced musculoskeletal radiologists who were unaware of surgical findings retrospectively evaluated the MRI examinations for cartilage abnormalities in the distal radius, scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum. All patients underwent arthroscopy of the radiocarpal joint with inspection of the articular surfaces of the distal radius, scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum. The articular cartilage was evaluated on the basis of the 5-point scale of the Outerbridge classification system. RESULTS: When at least two of the three radiologists had concordant interpretations, sensitivity for abnormalities in the distal radius was 27%; the scaphoid, 31%; the lunate, 41%; and the triquetrum, 18%. Specificity for the distal radius was 91%; the scaphoid, 90%; the lunate, 75%; and the triquetrum, 93%. Weighted kappa values among the three observers showed only fair agreement (0.279-0.360). High-grade more extensive cartilage lesions were no more accurately identified than low-grade lesions. Indirect MR arthrograms were not statistically more sensitive, specific, or accurate than unenhanced studies. No bone was more frequently or less frequently graded correctly or incorrectly with statistical significance. The variables of sex, age, and the presence of multiple bones with lesions did not affect accuracy. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that MRI of the wrist with the techniques described is not adequately sensitive or accurate for diagnosing cartilage defects in the distal radius, scaphoid, lunate, or triquetrum.
