Background: Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is characterized by interstitial infiltration of T lymphocytes, and subpopulations of these cells may be associated with the progression of fibrosis. However, few studies evaluate the correlation of prognosis with this characteristic. Therefore, we performed morphological and quantitative analyses of T lymphocytes in patients with NSIP and evaluated the relationship between T lymphocytes and prognosis.

Background: Studies have shown that nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP), even when initially diagnosed as an idiopathic form of the disease, might be associated with an autoimmune background that later reveals itself as an organ-specific or a systemic autoimmune disease.

Methods: NSIP patients were divided into three groups. The NSIP patients who met the criteria for having a systemic autoimmune disease (SAD) were defined as the systemic autoimmune disease-associated NSIP (SAD-NSIP) group.

Magnetic resonance imaging has became the major method for rectal cancer diagnosis. As a novel magnetic resonance functional imaging technique, diffusion-weighted imaging has improved the lesion detection sensitivity and provided more information on changes in body functions. The past two decades have witnessed the increasing application of this technique in clinical practices.

Background: Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is characterized by the interstitial infiltration T lymphocytes (TLs). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) has been used to analyze the inflammatory cells infiltrating in lung. The controversy about whether the BALF cellular profile reflects T lymphocytes in lung tissue still persists.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) combined with conventional sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (T1 and T2-weighted imaging) for the diagnosis of rectal cancer.

Methods: DWI and conventional sequences were performed in 29 patients with endoscopically diagnosed rectal cancer and 15 patients without rectal cancer. Two doctors who were blind to the history of the patients interpreted the imaging findings.

Objective: To assess the clinical values of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) in diagnosis of colonic polyps.

Methods: Forty-two patients who were clinically suspicious of colonic polyps or underwent colonic polyps screening received examinations with both CTC and conventional colonoscopy. Sixteen- or 64-slice spiral computed tomography and professional imaging processing techniques were used for evaluation.

Objective: To investigate the techniques and clinical applications of multislice helical computed tomography (CT) colonography in colonic lesions.

Methods: Fifty-nine patients with malignant lesions of colon underwent volume scanning using multislice helical CT. Four types of reconstruction including CT virtual colonoscopy (CTVC), shaded surface display (SSD), Raysum, and multiple planar reconstruction (MPR) were used for image post-processing.
