Purpose: To develop and validate a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-based radiomics model for predicting lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) of cervical cancer (CC).

Methods: The data of 177 CC patients were retrospectively collected and randomly divided into the training cohort (n=123) and testing cohort (n = 54). All patients received preoperative MRI.

Background And Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate advanced MRI findings in the bilateral hippocampus CA1 region of rats with hemorrhagic shock reperfusion (HSR) and their correlation with histopathological results. Additionally, this study aimed to identify effective MRI examination methods and detection indexes for assessing HSR.

Methods: Rats were randomized into the HSR and the Sham groups with 24 rats in each group.

Purpose: At present, there are few effective method to predict metachronous liver metastasis (MLM) from rectal cancer. We aim to investigate the efficacy of radiomics based on multiparametric MRI of first diagnosed rectal cancer in predicting MLM from rectal cancer.

Methods: From 301 consecutive histopathologically confirmed rectal cancer patients, 130 patients who have no distant metastasis detected at the time of diagnosis were enrolled and divided into MLM group (n = 49) and non-MLM group (n = 81) according to whether liver metastasis be detected later than 6 month after the first diagnosis of rectal cancer within 3 years' follow-up.

MicroRNA (miR)-421 has been reported to serve various important roles in numerous types of cancer, including neuroblastoma and gastric cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, few reports have determined the role of miR-421 in lung cancer. The aim of the current study was to analyze the expression levels of miR-421 in A549 lung cancer cells, to determine the target gene of miR-421, and to investigate the function and mechanism of miR-421 in cellular cytotoxicity.

Background: Glycerophospholipids were the main components of cerebral cortex lipids, and there was a close association between lipid homeostasis and human health. It has been reported that dietary DHA-enriched phosphatidylcholine (DHA-PC) and phosphatidylserine (DHA-PS) could improve brain function. However, it was unclear that whether supplementation of DHA-PC and DHA-PS could change lipid profiles in the brain of dementia animals.

Carbon monoxide‑releasing molecule‑3 (CORM‑3), which is an exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) compound, slowly releases CO under physiological conditions; this exerts neuroprotective effects against incomplete ischemia/reperfusion injury. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether the administration of CORM‑3 protects against nucleotide‑binding oligomerization domain‑like receptor pyrin domain‑3 (NLRP3) inflammasome formation and neuronal pyroptosis in the hippocampus following hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR). To establish this, an HSR model was created.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare hematological malignancy, characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. MM is usually confined to the bone marrow, however, it may occasionally infiltrate other tissues, which is known as extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP). The majority of EMPs involve the head and neck region, although different anatomical sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, thyroid gland and breast may also be affected.

Background: Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare neoplasm, and its cardiac extension is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. The purpose of this study was to explore the imaging features of intravenous leiomyomatosis with cardiac extension, especially the value of magnetic resonance imaging in differential diagnosis.

Methods: Between July 2005 and August 2008, 4 cases of intravenous leiomyomatosis with cardiac extension were resected in Cangzhou Central Hospital.

Background: CT perfusion imaging (CTP) has been proved to be a powerful functional imaging technique. This study aimed to evaluate the value of CTP in guiding biopsy of pulmonary lumps.

Methods: A total of 147 patients with pulmonary lumps who had CT guided biopsies were enrolled in this study from February 2005 to June 2007.
