چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For diagnosis of medulloblastoma, the updated World Health Organization classification now demands for genetic typing, defining more precisely tumor biology, therapy, and prognosis. We investigated potential associations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters including apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) neuropathologic features focusing on subtypes. METHODS This study was a retrospective single-center analysis 32 patients (eight females, median age = 9 years [range, 1-57], mean 12.6 ± 11.3) from 2012 to 2019. Genetic subtypes (wingless [WNT]; sonic hedgehog [SHH]; non-WNT/non-SHH), histopathology, immunohistochemistry (p53, Ki67), following MRI were correlated: volume, location (midline, pontocerebellar, cerebellar hemisphere), edema, hydrocephalus, metastatic disease (presence/absence each), contrast-enhancement (minor, moderate, distinct), cysts (none, small, large), hemorrhage minor, major), ADCmean. The ADCmean calculated using manually set regions interest within solid tumor. Statistics comprised univariate multivariate testing. RESULTS Out tumors, three tumors WNT activated (9.4%), 13 (40.6%) SHH activated, 16 (50.0%) non-WNT/non-SHH. Hemispherical (n 7/8, P .003) presence edema (8/8; < .001, specificity 100%, positive predictive value 100%) significantly associated with activation. combined parameter “no + no cysts” discriminated WNT-activated SHH-activated medulloblastoma (P .036). (10–6 mm2/s) 484 WNT-activated, 566 SHH-activated, 624 non-WNT/non-SHH .080). A significant negative correlation found Ki67 (r –.364, .040). CONCLUSION enabled noninvasive differentiation medulloblastoma. ADC alone not reliable characterization, but proliferation rate.

PURPOSE To assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly signal intensity changes, in predicting the dedifferentiation of parosteal osteosarcoma, and to evaluate other factors that may affect grading on MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI of 12 patients with parosteal osteosarcoma diagnosed on plain radiography were reviewed with regard to size, location, extent, soft tissue co...
متن کاملMRI Findings in Patients with TMJ Click
Introduction: It has been shown that joint click, an initial and common finding in internal derangement (ID), respond to neither conservative treatment nor surgical intervention. This raises the question as to whether it must be treated in the absence of other pertinent signs and symptoms, so the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the MRI findings of TMJ in both normal subjects an...

15 صفحه اولMAP2K4/MKK4 expression in pancreatic cancer: genetic validation of immunohistochemistry and relationship to disease course.
MKK4 (MAP2K4/SEK1) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family, originally identified as a kinase involved in the stress-activated protein kinase pathway by directly phosphorylating c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase. MKK4 genetic inactivation has been observed in a subset of pancreatic carcinomas, implicating deregulation of the stress-activated protein kinase pathway in pancreatic carci...
