简介:AbstractBackground:Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect lesions hidden in inflammatory regions and find necrosis or areas of severe fibrosis within the lesion. This retrospective study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of solid pancreatic lesions using percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with or without CEUS assessment.Methods:Clinical, imaging, and pathologic data of 181 patients from January 2014 to December 2018 in Pecking Union Medical College Hospital, with solid pancreatic masses who underwent percutaneous US-FNA and ThinPrep cytologic test were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into CEUS and US groups according to whether CEUS was performed before the biopsy. According to FNA cytology diagnoses, we combined non-diagnostic, neoplastic, and negative cases into a negative category. The positive category included malignant, suspicious, and atypical cases. The final diagnosis was confirmed by pathology or clinical and radiological follow-up for at least 12 months. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of US-FNA were evaluated between the two groups.Results:This study enrolled 107 male and 74 female patients (average age: 60 years). There were 58 cases in the US group and 123 cases in the CEUS group. No statistically significant differences in age, gender, or lesion size were found between the two groups. The diagnostic accuracy of the CEUS group was 95.1% (117/123), which was higher than the 86.2% (50/58) observed in the US group (P = 0.036). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the CEUS group were increased by 7.5%, 16.7%, 3.4%, and 18.8%, respectively, compared with the US group. However, the differences of the two groups were not statistically significant.Conclusions:Compared with the conventional US, the use of CEUS could improve the biopsy accuracy and avoid the need for a repeat biopsy, especially for some complicated FNA cases.

简介:AbstractBackground:It is crucial to differentiate accurately glioma recurrence and pseudoprogression which have entirely different prognosis and require different treatment strategies. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) as a tool for distinguishing glioma recurrence and pseudoprogression.Methods:According to particular criteria of inclusion and exclusion, related studies up to May 1, 2019, were thoroughly searched from several databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Chinese biomedical databases. The quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies was applied to evaluate the quality of the included studies. By using the "mada" package in R, the heterogeneity, overall sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio were calculated. Moreover, funnel plots were used to visualize and estimate the publication bias in this study. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was computed to display the diagnostic efficiency of DCE-MRI.Results:In the present meta-analysis, a total of 11 studies covering 616 patients were included. The results showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio were 0.792 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.707-0.857), 0.779 (95% CI 0.715-0.832), and 16.219 (97.5% CI 9.123-28.833), respectively. The value of the area under the SROC curve was 0.846. In addition, the SROC curve showed high sensitivities (>0.6) and low false positive rates (<0.5) from most of the included studies, which suggest that the results of our study were reliable. Furthermore, the funnel plot suggested the existence of publication bias.Conclusions:While the DCE-MRI is not the perfect diagnostic tool for distinguishing glioma recurrence and pseudoprogression, it was capable of improving diagnostic accuracy. Hence, further investigations combining DCE-MRI with other imaging modalities are required to establish an efficient diagnostic method for glioma patients.

简介:摘要Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has both diagnostic and therapeutic clinical applications. This review article focuses on recent advances in two commonly performed procedures: EUS-guided tissue acquisition and EUS-guided drainage. There is a shift from acquiring aspirates for cytology to obtaining tissue cores for histological diagnoses and molecular analyses. There is growing interest and research about artificial intelligence in EUS. Artificial intelligence may potentially be useful to guide clinical decision making if biopsy results are non-diagnostic. The range of EUS-guided drainage procedures has expanded. EUS-guided drainage of walled-off pancreatic fluid collections is an accepted first line treatment option. EUS-guided palliative drainage of malignant biliary obstruction after unsuccessful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is now an accepted alternative to percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. EUS-guided gallbladder drainage for management of acute cholecystitis is now a preferred option over percutaneous cholecystostomy for non-surgical candidates. Other EUS-created gastrointestinal anastomoses such as EUS-guided gastroenterostomy in the context of gastric outlet obstruction, and EUS-directed transgastric ERCP for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are now technically feasible, but further prospective randomized studies are needed to establish the actual clinical impact.

简介:the meals often have a great cementing effect on family life. In the eyes of the British people,half of the flavoring could not be found here. Maybe that is one of the reasons why the British food is not very delicious.The British people like desserts very much,and some have no breakfast at all or only a hot drink.
