The clinical value of dual-energy computed tomography and diffusion-weighted imaging in the context of liver cancer: A narrative review.

The dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) are used to diagnose liver cancer. The clinical value of these two examination methods needs to be further summarized. We collected and summarized relevant literature published from 2011 to 2021.

A Study Based on the Correlation Between Slit2/Robo1 Signaling Pathway Proteins and Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis.

Aims: To investigate the role of Slit2 and Robo1 during the vascular disease of Polymyositis (PM) / dermatomyositis (DM).

Background: PM and DM are nonsuppurative inflammatory myopathies that mainly invade the skeletal muscles.

Objective: This study attempted to explore the specific mechanism of Slit2/Robo1 signaling pathway proteins during the vascular disease of PM/DM.

STROBE: The correlation of Cyr61, CTGF, and VEGF with polymyositis/dermatomyositis.

This study aims to explore the roles of cysteine-rich protein 61 (Cyr61/CCN1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the vascular process of polymyositis (PM)/dermatomyositis (DM).Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the mRNA expression of Cyr61, CTGF, and VEGF in muscle tissues of initially treated PM/DM patients and controls. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the serum levels of Cyr61, CTGF, and VEGF of initially treated PM/DM patients before and after treatment.
