CT-based radiomics predicts CD38 expression and indirectly reflects clinical prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Background: Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) has been found to be highly expressed in various solid tumours, and its expression level may be associated with patient prognosis and survival. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CD38 expression for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and construct two computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models for predicting CD38 expression.

Methods: A total of 333 cases of EOC were enrolled from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database for CD38-related bioinformatics and survival analysis.

[Mutiple-slice spiral CT diagnosis of atypical intraabdominal hernia].

Objective: To discuss the value of multiple-slice spiral CT diagnosis of atypical intraabdominal hernia.

Methods: The clinical and CT findings of 16 cases of atypical intraabdominal hernia confirmed surgically were retrospectively analysed.

Results: In all the 16 cases, the contents of hernia were small bowels and the mesentery.

[The value of MRI in diagnosis of ligament injuries of knee joint].

Objective: To study the performance of MRI and its diagnostic value for ligament injuries of knee joint.

Methods: Form June 2008 to February 2010, the MRI of 74 patients with ligament injuries of knee joint were retrospectively analyzed. There were 47 males and 27 females in the group, which course was from 2 h to 10 d, with an average age of 37.
