The data of examination of 59 patients with colonic cancer were used to consider the potentialities of transabdominal, transrectal ultrasonography and X-ray computed tomography and to assess their value in diagnosing colonic cancer, including its "minor" forms. The paper describes the ultrasound and computed tomographic semiotics of colonic cancer and determines a place of the above techniques in the algorithm of radiation and instrumental studies. Inclusion of these techniques into the diagnostic algorithm may solve a range of differentially diagnostic problems and allows a preliminary analysis to be made in a tumor lesion according to the International TNM classification. Ultrasonography and X-ray computed tomography should be included into a range of basic methods for diagnosis of colonic cancer. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Recently, several case reports have described a rare but distinct subtype of renal tumor, referred to as a "low grade renal epithelial neoplasm," that appears to have a better prognosis than conventional renal cell carcinoma does. This report describes the cytologic features of this tumor as determined by fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. CASE: A 53-year-old woman with a history of lymphoma had a renal mass incidentally discovered on an abdominal computed tomographic scan performed for lymphoma restaging. Results of an FNA biopsy showed relatively uniform, medium-sized tumor cells with moderate amounts of finely vacuolated or wispy cytoplasm and indistinct cell borders. The nuclei were primarily round with coarse chromatin and had prominent nucleoli. In the cell block preparation, the tumor cells showed a tubular architecture and an abundant myxoid matrix. The patient underwent a partial nephrectomy. The tumor was classified as a low grade myxoid renal epithelial tumor. CONCLUSION: This unusual kidney tumor appears to have distinctive cytomorphologic features, including a uniform population of epithelial cells with round nuclei, an abundant myxoid matrix and tubular architecture. 相似文献

To investigate whether urographic contrast media might precipitate Bence Jones protein in the renal tubules and lead to renal failure in patients with myelomatosis, the reaction between the media and myeloma urine was studied in vitro. Appreciable precipitation was found only in urine at or below pH 4·5, and its occurrence did not correlate with the type or concentration of protein present. It is concluded that the risk of urography in myelomatosis is very small. 相似文献

Canine kidneys were biopsied at 2-week intervals from 3 to 13 weeks after a single 15-Gy dose of intraoperatively delivered 6 MeV electrons to determine the pathogenesis and dose-limiting tissue for radiation nephropathy. The data suggest that the dose and time after irradiation determine the dose-limiting tissue. The early functional survival of canine kidneys appeared to be dependent on parenchymal cell killing. Histologic changes in epithelial cells were seen as early as 3 weeks after irradiation. The parenchyma decreased to 50% of the preirradiation volume by 9 weeks but repopulated to near normal by 11 weeks. A second wave of depopulation, possibly due to perivascular fibrosis, was evident at 13 weeks. Previous investigators have demonstrated progressively extensive changes in renal vessels after irradiation. In this study, permanent vascular damage was seen at 3 weeks; however, most early changes in vessel walls proved to be temporary and probably resulted from atrophic vasoconstriction following parenchymal depopulation. Vessel dimensions returned to near normal as the parenchyma repopulated; however, a "histohematic barrier" created by progressively increasing perivascular fibrosis may cause a reduction in oxygen and nutrient support of the parenchyma and permanent loss of renal function. 相似文献

The paper based on the analysis of computed tomographic data in 40 patients again underlines the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis of thoracic changes in the postoperative period. It shows that CT can provide information on thoracic organs and parts and presents the tomographic pattern of a postoperative uncomplicated period. 相似文献

Studies on 1,476 intravenous urographic examinations done in a 15-month period showed that the proportion of abnormal results varied widely—from 20% in patients with abdominal pain other than renal colic to 92% of those in prostatism. Patients with the strongest clinical evidence of haematuria were the most likely to have abnormal urograms, and to undergo cystoscopy with abnormal findings on this examination. All six patients with renal hypertension showed abnormalities other than on the urogram. Prior use of other tests may increase the effectiveness of urography. 相似文献

The study was undertaken to impart better functional capacities to a urographic study and to convert its results to quantitative characteristics in order to realize its new capacities, namely, to detect early and latent renal functions. Three hundred and fifty-eight patients (165 males and 193 females) aged 3 to 74 years underwent excretory urography using the contrast agent Urografin. In 173 patients, X-ray planimetry determined the index of the renal parenchymatous area and estimated its size in relation to the individual normal value, i.e. the area of the body of the first lumbar vertebra. During urographic studies, 185 patients had a X-ray functional test that was used to determine the glomerular filtration by X-ray contrast agent clearance. A high correlation was established between the area of the parenchyma of the unaffected kidney and the X-ray planimetric area of the body of the first lumbar vertebra (a ratio of 3:1), which offered possibilities of estimating the normal value of parenchymatous tissue for each specific person. A procedure was developed to determine the individual normal glomerular filtration rate by contrast agent clearance. There was evidence for the fact that there was a close relationship of the anatomic parameters of the normal kidneys to their functional ones, which suggests that the filtrability of the glomerular apparatus corresponds to the mass of the intact parenchyma. This has allowed the authors to discover a basic principle of the X-ray diagnosis of renal failure, which consists in recording the parenchymatous tissue size-filtrability imbalance occurring in this condition; this fact may suggest the death of acting nephrons or a temporary reduction in their physiological potential. 相似文献

Preoperative angiography is frequently used in the planning of microsurgical reconstruction. However, several potentially devastating complications can result from angiography, including arterial occlusion and pseudoaneurysm. Computed tomographic angiography is a relatively new technique that can provide detailed information about vascular anatomy as well as soft and bony tissue without the risks of traditional angiography. In addition, three-dimensional image reconstruction uniquely demonstrates anatomical relationships among blood vessels, bones, and soft tissue. Fourteen computed tomographic angiograms were obtained in 10 patients undergoing microsurgical reconstruction of the head and neck, lower extremity, or upper extremity. The average patient age was 46.9 years (range, 22 to 67 years). Charges related to the computed tomographic procedure were compared with those of conventional preoperative imaging for microsurgical repair. At our institution, the average computed tomographic angiogram charge was 1140 US dollars, whereas the average charge for traditional arteriography was 3900 US dollars. When compared with intraoperative evaluation, computed tomographic angiograms demonstrated clinically relevant surgical anatomy. No complications were noted for the radiographic procedure or after free flap reconstruction. Computed tomographic angiography provides high-resolution, three-dimensional arterial, venous, and soft-tissue imaging without the risks of traditional angiogram and at a lower cost. 相似文献

We recently elevated interior tomography from its origin in computed tomography (CT) to a general tomographic principle, and proved its validity for other tomographic modalities including SPECT, MRI, and others. Here we propose "omni-tomography", a novel concept for the grand fusion of multiple tomographic modalities for simultaneous data acquisition in a region of interest (ROI). Omni-tomography can be instrumental when physiological processes under investigation are multi-dimensional, multi-scale, multi-temporal and multi-parametric. Both preclinical and clinical studies now depend on in vivo tomography, often requiring separate evaluations by different imaging modalities. Over the past decade, two approaches have been used for multimodality fusion: Software based image registration and hybrid scanners such as PET-CT, PET-MRI, and SPECT-CT among others. While there are intrinsic limitations with both approaches, the main obstacle to the seamless fusion of multiple imaging modalities has been the bulkiness of each individual imager and the conflict of their physical (especially spatial) requirements. To address this challenge, omni-tomography is now unveiled as an emerging direction for biomedical imaging and systems biomedicine. 相似文献

Sonographically detectable parenchymal 'bridges' in the median segment of the kidney may look atypical. The most incident parenchymal 'bridges' are asymmetric irregular ovoid incomplete connections, not reaching the parenchyma at the site of renal hilus; such 'bridges' may be compared to a 'humpbacked' overturned kidney. Besides that, double and Y-shaped connections were detected, occurring in different variants of fused kidneys. Clinical significance of atypical 'bridges' of the parenchyma consists in simulation by them of echomixed processes, of renal tumors first of all. Excretory urography should be the second stage of the diagnosis after initial ultrasonic examination of the kidneys; after it repeated pointed ultrasonography should be carried out, that will help rule out the diagnosis of a renal tumor. 相似文献

The question of which cell components in a rejecting rat renal allograft secrete plasminogen activator (PA) has been analyzed. Although normal renal parenchymal cells also secreted PA, most of the PA in a renal allograft (and to a lesser extent also in an autograft) was produced by the inflammatory leukocytes. Fractionation at 1 g demonstrated that the inflammatory cell population responsible for the PA production in the allograft sedimented together with the large mononuclear phagocytes (macrophages). Fractions purified for small blast cells and large lymphocytes did not contain any PA activity but they were able to induce resting peritoneal macrophages to produce PA when cocultured in vitro. The results demonstrate that the allograft-infiltrating mononuclear phagocytes are "activated" in the sense that they secrete PA and that the activation of mononuclear phagocytes at the site of inflammation may be partially regulated by the inflammatory lymphoid cells. 相似文献

Geometry and kinematics of dog ribs 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Five anesthetized supine beagle dogs were scanned using a fast, multislice computed tomographic X-ray technique to determine the orientation of the ribs at total lung capacity (TLC) and functional residual capacity (FRC). A plane was fit to each rib using a coordinate system in which the z-axis was aligned approximately cephalocaudally and the x-z-plane coincided with the sagittal midplane. The orientation of each plane was described by "pump-handle" and "bucket-handle" angles. The ribs rotated downward and inward during a passive deflation of the lungs from TLC to FRC. Rib displacement was not uniform: bucket-handle motion was predominant in the upper ribs, and pump- and bucket-handle motions were equal in the lower ribs. The change in the pump-handle angles between TLC and FRC was approximately 6 degrees for ribs 3-8, and the change in the bucket-handle angles decreased with rib number from 16 degrees for rib 3 to 6 degrees for rib 8. Rib shape was described by fitting an ellipse to the data for each rib; the ribs became larger and more circular with increasing rib number. 相似文献

The classification of renal cell carcinomas has been affected by both the delineation of new histologic subtypes and the understanding that recognized histomorphologic patterns are reflective of specific sets of cytogenetic abnormalities. In fact, standard methods of clinicopathologic study and cytogenetic analysis have been cooperatively contributory in the evolution of current concepts regarding the biologic nature and classification of renal parenchymal epithelial tumors. In this review, the current classification scheme for these tumors is discussed from the perspective of both the defining histologic and cytogenetic features. Limited molecular data are described as well. 相似文献

Pedestrian injury and human behaviour: observing road-rule violations at high-incident intersections
Background
Human behaviour is an obvious, yet under-studied factor in pedestrian injury. Behavioural interventions that address rule violations by pedestrians and motorists could potentially reduce the frequency of pedestrian injury. In this study, a method was developed to examine road-rule non-compliance by pedestrians and motorists. The purpose of the study was to examine the potential association between violations made by pedestrians and motorists at signalized intersections, and collisions between pedestrians and motor-vehicles. The underlying hypothesis is that high-incident pedestrian intersections are likely to vary with respect to their aetiology, and thus are likely to require individualized interventions – based on the type and rate of pedestrian and motorist violation.Methods
High-incident pedestrian injury intersections in Vancouver, Canada were identified using geographic information systems. Road-rule violations by pedestrians and motorists were documented at each incident hotspot by a team of observers at several different time periods during the day.Results
Approximately 9,000 pedestrians and 18,000 vehicles were observed in total. In total for all observed intersections, over 2000 (21%) pedestrians committed one of the observed pedestrian road-crossing violations, while approximately 1000 (5.9%) drivers committed one of the observed motorist violations. Great variability in road-rule violations was observed between intersections, and also within intersections at different observation periods.Conclusions
Both motorists and pedestrians were frequently observed committing road-rule violations at signalized intersections, suggesting a potential human behavioural contribution to pedestrian injury at the study sites. These results suggest that each intersection may have unique mechanisms that contribute to pedestrian injury, and may require targeted behavioural interventions. The method described in this study provides the basis for understanding the relationship between violations and pedestrian injury risk at urban intersections. Findings could be applied to targeted prevention campaigns designed to reduce the number of pedestrian injuries at signalized intersections. 相似文献15.

To investigate the mechanical mechanisms behind tumor cell arrest in the microvasculature, we injected fluorescently labeled human breast carcinoma cells or similarly sized rigid beads into the systemic circulation of a rat. Their arrest patterns in the microvasculature of mesentery were recorded and quantified. We found that 93 % of rigid beads were arrested either at arteriole–capillary intersections or in capillaries. Only 3 % were at the capillary–postcapillary venule intersections and in postcapillary venules. In contrast, most of the flexible tumor cells were either entrapped in capillaries or arrested at capillary or postcapillary venule–postcapillary venule intersections and in postcapillary venules. Only 12 % of tumor cells were arrested at the arteriole–capillary intersections. The differential arrest and adhesion of tumor cells and microbeads in the microvasculature was confirmed by a $\chi ^{2}$ test ( $p<0.001$ ). These results demonstrate that mechanical trapping was responsible for almost all the arrest of beads and half the arrest of tumor cells. Based on the measured geometry and blood flow velocities at the intersections, we also performed a numerical simulation using commercial software (ANSYS CFX 12.01) to depict the detailed distribution profiles of the velocity, shear rate, and vorticity at the intersections where tumor cells preferred to arrest and adhere. Simulation results reveal the presence of localized vorticity and shear rate regions at the turning points of the microvessel intersections, implying that hemodynamic factors play an important role in tumor cell arrest in the microcirculation. Our study helps elucidate long-debated issues related to the dominant factors in early-stage tumor hematogenous metastasis. 相似文献

Newborns with in utero cranial vault molding can present with severe forms of plagiocephaly. Intrauterine constraint has been proposed as one cause for craniosynostosis. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate whether rigid plate fixation across a fetal cranial suture, representing a severe form of growth restriction in utero, would lead to cranial suture fusion in a fetal lamb model. Six fetal lambs at 85 to 95 days gestation (term = 145 days) underwent laparotomy, hysterotomy, fetal coronal scalp incision, and miniplate screw fixation across the right coronal suture in utero. Two unoperated twins and four unoperated age-matched lambs were used as controls (n = 12). Animals were killed at both 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively. Fetal head analysis consisted of gross examination, photography, basilar and lateral radiographs, and three-dimensional computed tomographic scans. Cranial suture analysis consisted of imaging by computed tomographic scan (axial and sagittal cuts) and histology of experimentally plated coronal sutures, contralateral nonplated coronal sutures and twin control coronal sutures. Gross examination, radiographs, and three-dimensional computed tomographic analysis of heads with cranial suture plating showed ipsilateral forehead flattening, contralateral forehead bossing, superiorly displaced ipsilateral orbital rim, anterolateral projection of ipsilateral malar eminence, and anterior position of the ipsilateral ear point compared with the contralateral side of the same animal and normal controls. There was no change in nasal root, chin point, or predentition occlusal plane. Although analysis of the plated coronal sutures by computed tomographic scans showed diminished width or even stenosis, the histology revealed narrowed but patent experimental coronal sutures at 4 and 8 weeks. Contralateral, nonplated coronal sutures were not only patent, but widened compared with normal control sutures. This finding may have represented compensatory changes in the contralateral coronal suture caused by growth restriction at the plated suture. These data demonstrate that intrauterine growth restriction across a cranial suture caused by compression plate fixation resulted in deformational skull changes, not craniosynostosis. In addition, these data strongly support a role for in utero positional molding secondary to growth restriction in the maternal pelvis as a cause for nonsynostotic plagiocephaly seen in newborns. 相似文献

人体内褐色脂肪组织及其生理功能 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
褐色脂肪组织(brown adipose tissue,BAT)在小型哺乳动物的非颤抖性产热、体温调节以及体重维持等方面都具有重要的生理功能.在人类中,曾一度认为褐色脂肪组织只在新生儿中存在,在成人体中不存在或数量甚微而没有生理意义.随着医学科技的发展,2009年采用监测癌症及癌症转移的氟化脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射计算机断层显像技术-X射线断层显像技术(18F-FDG PET-CT)检测到在成年人体内也存在功能性的褐色脂肪组织,此发现颠覆了传统的观念,也为人类对抗肥胖提供了新靶标.本文就褐色脂肪组织在人类体内的存在及其潜在的生理意义进行了概述. 相似文献

In order to estimate free radical reactions and image them in the brain of living animals, a nitroxyl spin-probe, carboxy-PROXYL acetoxymethyl ester (CxP-AM) was newly synthesized. CxP-AM was designed to be hydrolyzed by esterase, but not by lipase, so that it would pass through the blood-brain barrier and be retained in the cytosolic phase of parenchymal cells in the brain after intravenous injection. The pharmacokinetics of CxP-AM was compared with those of carboxy-PROXYL (CxP) and its methyl ester (CxP-M). Carboxyl esterase almost completely hydrolyzed CxP-AM within 3 min. After intravenous injection, the brain retained 1.8 times more CxP-AM than CxP-M, and retained it for more than 30 min. Electron spin resonance computed tomographic (ESR-CT) imaging of CxP-AM in the heads of mice produced marked contrast in the encephalon region, while CxP was distributed only in the extracranial region and CxP-M was distributed in both regions, confirming the pharmacokinetics of CxP-AM. The decay rate of CxP-AM determined with time-resolved ESR-CT imaging was different in the two brain regions, suggesting regional differences in the total reducing capability. CxP-AM should become a powerful probe for the investigation and diagnosis of free radical reactions and their imaging in the brain. 相似文献

By using their data on 123 patients with different forms of pancreatitis, the authors describe the ultrasound and computed tomographic semiotics of this condition. The authors consider ultrasonography and computed tomography to be highly informative in diagnosing different forms of the disease and its complications. Both methods not only assess the pancreatic parenchyma, the extent of the process to the adjacent anatomic structures, but permit a follow-up and diagnostic and treatment measures under their visual guidance. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Angiomyolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm, commonly involving the kidney. Preoperative diagnosis on fine needle aspiration cytology can confirm the diagnosis, reducing the chances of unnecessary surgery. CASES: We studied cases of renal angiomyolipoma (AML) presenting within 1 year with palpable renal masses confirmed on ultrasound to be of renal origin. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears showed a few cohesive syncytial fragments with adipocytes, spindle cells and isolated single cells with foamy cytoplasm; a diagnosis of AML was made. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology, which showed mature adipose tissue, tortuous and thick-walled blood vessels lacking elastic tissue lamina and bundles of smooth muscles that seemed to emanate from the blood vessels. CONCLUSION: A preoperative diagnosis of renal AML is of great importance for correct management. In fact, when the lesion is small and asymptomatic, a conservative approach may be considered. Partial nephrectomy is possible with masses < 5 cm. Preoperative FNAC along with computed tomographic findings and immunocytochemical analysis of FNAC smears with HNB-45 can confirm the diagnosis of AML, thus preventing unindicated nephrectomy. 相似文献
