Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in evaluation of tuberculous tubo ovarian mass

ObjectiveRole of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of tuberculous tubo-ovarian (TO) mass.MethodsMRI was performed on 33 patients of tuberculous TO mass of female genital tuberculosis (FGTB).ResultsMean age, BMI, and parity was 27.5 ± 4.2 years, 22.7 ± 3.6 kg/m², and 0.27 ± 0.13. All patients (100%) had infertility; primary infertility (72.72%) and secondary infertility (27.23%) with mean 5.8 years. Abdominal/pelvic pain 33 (100%) cases, abdominal lump 4 (12.12%), adnexal mass 33 (100%). MRI findings showed pelvic masses 33 (100%), bilateral TO masses 11 (33.33%), cystic lesion 4 (12.12%), solid cystic lesion 3 (9.09%) with bilateral pyosalpinx 1 (3.3%), homogeneous content with ascites 1 (3.03%), rim enhancing lesion abutting pelvic wall in 1 (3.03%). Right adnexal mass 11 (33.33%), right adnexal cyst 2 (6.06%), right adnexal cystic mass in 1 (3.03%), right sided complex TO mass 1 (3.03%), right sided hydrosalpinx in 1 (3.03%) case, right sided TO mass in 4 (12.12%) cases and right sided para-ovarian cyst in 2 (6.06%). Left sided adnexal mass was seen in 11 (33.33%), cystic lesion in 1 (3.03%), ovarian cyst in 3 (9.09%) cases, left sided hydrosalpinx in 2 (6.06%), left ovarian cyst 2 (6.06%) cases, left sided ovarian cyst with encysted ascites 1 (3.03%) case and with left sided paraovarian cyst 2 (6.06%) case. Miscellaneous finding were generalised ascites (6.06%), encysted ascites (3.03%), pelvic (1; 3.03%) and mesenteric lymphadenopathy 1 (3.03%). Incidental finding were fibroid 3 (9.09%) and adenomyosis 1 (3.03%) case.ConclusionMRI appears to be useful diagnostic modality for tuberculous TO masses where differential diagnosis is malignancy but molecular diagnosis remains the gold standard.     

Hysteroscopic observations in 348 consecutive cases of female genital tuberculosis: A prospective study

Study objectiveTo evaluate the hysteroscopic findings in female genital tuberculosis.DesignIt was a prospective study of hysteroscopic findings performed on 348 cases of female genital tuberculosis (FGTB).SettingIt was a prospective cross-sectional study in a tertiary referral centre.PatientsA total of 348 patients with infertility with FGTB on various tests.InterventionA total of 348 patients of infertility found to have FGTB on various investigations were enrolled in the study. A detailed history was taken. Clinical examination, endometrial sampling and diagnostic laparoscopy were performed was also performed in selected cases. All patients underwent hysteroscopy as part of evaluation for infertility and tuberculosis (TB) findings.Measurements and main resultsThe mean age, parity, body mass index and duration of infertility was 28.2 years, 0.31,23.1kg/m² and 3.44 years respectively. Infertility was primary in 81.03% and secondary in 18.96% cases. Diagnosis of FGTB was made by endometrial aspirate findings of positive AFB on microscopy (4.02%), positive culture (4.88%), positive PCR (83.90%), epithelioid granuloma (14.65%), positive AFB on microscopy or culture of peritoneal cytology (1.14%) or epithelioid granuloma on peritoneal biopsy (1.72%), definitive findings of TB on laparoscopy (41.95%) or probable findings of TB on laparoscopy (58.05%). Various hysteroscopic findings observed were normal findings (28.16%), pale endometrial cavity (54.31%), features of active TB (7.47%), features of chronic TB (19.54%), features of TB sequelae like obstructed ostia (both ostia in 13.79%, one ostia 14.94%, periostial fibrosis; (bilateral 4.59%, unilateral 5.17%), endometrial glands atrophy (12.35%), small shrunken cavity (6.32%), distorted cavity (5.17%), various grades of intrauterine adhesions (29.88%). Hysteroscopy in FGTB was associated with increased difficulties and complications like failed procedures, difficult visualisation, false passage and uterine perforation.ConclusionHysteroscopy is useful modality to detect endometrial TB but is associated with increased difficulty and complications.     

卡介苗膀胱灌注治疗致结核性前列腺脓肿1例

Morales等［1］于1976年报道应用卡介苗（bacillus Calmette-Guérin,BCG）治疗膀胱癌。目前BCG膀胱灌注是治疗非肌层浸润性膀胱癌的常用方法,但该治疗方法可引起一系列的并发症,包括结核性前列腺炎。BCG致结核性前列腺炎发展为前列腺脓肿罕见,国内外仅有少数个案报道,现将北京大学人民医院近期收治的1例卡介苗膀胱灌注治疗致前列腺脓肿的病例报告如下。     

胎儿磁共振在先天性膈疝患儿预后评估中的应用研究CSCD

目的回顾性分析先天性膈疝患儿产前胎儿磁共振图像,探讨磁共振测量和评价参数与患儿预后的关系,初步探讨胎儿磁共振参数在先天性膈疝患儿预后评估中的应用价值。方法收集西安交通大学第二附属医院2011—2020年胎儿磁共振图像结果,收集诊断为先天性膈疝的50例胎儿磁共振图像,包括左侧膈疝37例,右侧膈疝13例,检测并分析观察-预期肺容积比、肺肝比、纵膈移位角、肺底基线的完整性、肝脏及胃泡位置等与患儿预后的关系。结果50例患儿中,存活35例(为存活组),死亡15例(为死亡组)。胎儿磁共振图像观察-预期肺容积比:存活组比死亡组为(35.09±10.87)比(24.29±6.86);肺肝比:存活组比死亡组为(2.68±1.01)比(1.93±0.93);纵膈移位角:存活组比死亡组为(30.88±7.07)比(39.05±4.21);差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。图像分析结果显示,胎儿磁共振肺底基线不完整、肝脏及胃泡位置疝入胸腔患儿的预后较差,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。受试者操作特征曲线分析结果显示,联合应用观察-预期肺容积比、肺肝比、纵膈移位角、肺底基线的完整性、肝脏及胃泡位置等判断患儿预后,较单一参数判断更为准确,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论胎儿磁共振观察-预期肺容积比、肺肝比、纵膈移位角、肺底基线完整性、肝脏及胃泡位置均可作为判断先天性膈疝患儿预后的评价指标,联合应用上述六项参数可以更加准确地判断患儿预后,以上述参数为基础构建先天性膈疝的评估体系,有助于先天性膈疝患儿的肺发育评估、体外膜肺氧合的应用判断以及手术方式的选择。     

Age of puberty in Iranian girls living in Tehran

The aim of this study was to determine the age of appearance of secondary sexual characteristics in Iranian girls living in Tehran. A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2003 and 2004 on 1420 6–17-year-old females in different parts of Tehran. Data were collected on the basis of a multistage probability sampling. Secondary sexual characteristics were evaluated by inspection and palpation, and were recorded according to Tanner staging. The subjects were asked about the occurrence of menarche and the age of its onset. Generalized additive logistic modelling was used for the analysis of data. The median age (percentile 10–percentile 90) of Tanner 2 of breast development (B2) and Tanner 2 of pubic hair growth (P2) among 1136 girls was 9.74 years (8.23–11.94) and 10.49 years (8.86–12.17), respectively. The ages of the 2.5 percentile for B2 and P2 were 7.42 and 7.03 years, respectively, so the onset of puberty at <7 years and 5 months is considered precocious in this population. The median age of menarche in 399 girls was 12.68 years (11.27–15.96).     

孕晚期产妇生殖道B族链球菌感染与胎膜早破及新生儿结局的相关性

目的:探讨孕晚期产妇生殖道B族链球菌(group B Streptococcus,GBS)感染与胎膜早破及新生儿结局的相关性。方法:搜集2017年5月至2019年8月首都医科大学附属北京世纪坛医院产科门诊的2100例孕妇,选取其中122例孕晚期胎膜早破产妇作为观察组,另选取120例同期健康孕晚期产妇作为健康对照组,比较两组GBS感染率,依据观察组患者是否合并GBS感染,将其分为GBS阴性组与GBS阳性组,采用单因素和多因素logistic回归分析影响胎膜早破孕妇GBS感染的危险因素,观察不同组别不良妊娠情况及新生儿结局。结果:健康对照组GBS感染率显著低于观察组(P<0.05);两组孕妇胎位异常、双胎或多胎妊娠和巨大儿发生率比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);经多因素logistic回归模型分析结果显示胎位异常、双胎或多胎妊娠和巨大儿为影响胎膜早破孕妇GBS感染的危险因素(P<0.05)。GBS阴性组早产、产后出血和宫内感染率均显著低于GBS阳性组(P<0.05);GBS阳性组新生儿窒息和新生儿肺炎感染发生率均高于GBS阴性组(P<0.05);两组新生儿感染率比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:胎位异常、双胎或多胎妊娠和巨大儿均可影响孕晚期胎膜早破产妇GBS感染,GBS感染可致新生儿窒息、新生儿感染和新生儿肺炎的发生,同时引起早产、产后出血和宫内感染等不良妊娠结局的发生。临床需要对孕晚期产妇生殖道GBS感染进行及时监测和处理,以降低其不良母婴结局的发生率。     

子宫内膜结核的子宫输卵管造影表现

目的探讨子宫内膜结核的子宫输卵管造影(HSG)表现。方法回顾性分析经宫-腹腔镜、刮除活检、组织学检查、细菌培养、聚合酶链式反应(PCR)及病理证实的18例子宫内膜结核患者,分析其HSG表现。结果 14例子宫内膜结核患者具有特异性改变,包括三叶草样、T型、假单角子宫、指套样等。4例为非特异性表现,包括子宫内膜炎、宫腔粘连变形以及对比剂渗入静脉及淋巴管。结论 HSG是诊断子宫内膜结核的一种重要检查方法,对于不明原因的不孕女性患者应尽早常规行HSG检查,可为临床不孕不育诊治提供重要依据。
