High resolution diffusion-weighted imaging with readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains for determining myometrial invasion in endometrial carcinoma.

Background: We assessed the image quality of endometrial cancer lesions by readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains (RESOLVE) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) compared with that by single-shot echo-planar imaging (SS-EPI) DWI, aimed to explore the value of RESOLVE DWI for determining myometrial invasion and clinical stage in endometrial cancer.

Materials And Methods: From April 2017 to March 2018, a total of 30 endometrial cancer patients (mean age 52.8 ± 9.

Successful treatment of multisite hemorrhage by several methods in brain metastasis of choriocarcinoma: A case report.

Rationale: Brain metastasis of choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) and has a notoriously poor prognosis. Hemorrhagic choriocarcinoma lesions may lead to life-threatening conditions also. Treatment of brain metastases of choriocarcinoma with hemorrhage in multiple sites is very difficult in clinical practices.

The roles of Fanconi anemia genes in the regulation of follicle development.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare recessive autosomal or X-linked genetic disease caused by the mutations of the FA genes. The FA genes are involved in the homologous recombination repair processes of damaged interstrand crosslinks in DNA. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is commonly observed in female FA patients and in mice of experimental FA models with serious deficiency of germ cells, suggesting that FA genes could play an important role(s) in follicle development in mammals.
