Purpose: To investigate the mechanism of microRNA-100-5p (miR-100-5p) on mammalian target (mTOR) of rapamycin in temporomandibular arthritis.
Methods: Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into group A, group B, group C, group D, and group E, with 12 rats in each group. Rat models of temporomandibular arthritis were prepared by injecting sodium iodoacetate solution into the bilateral spaces of temporomandibular joint.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the effectiveness of PET/CT and MRI in diagnosing oropharyngeal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (ONHL) using data from 30 patients who underwent both imaging exams within a two-week period.
- - Findings revealed that the majority of ONHL cases were B-cell derived (76.7%), with common lesions presenting as masses or mixed types, and most showed high standardized uptake values (SUVmax) indicative of cancerous activity.
- - The research concluded that both imaging modalities play a significant role in diagnosing ONHL and assessing the extent of the disease, particularly regarding lymph node involvement.
Purpose: To determine the correlation between intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters.
Methods: Thirty-eight newly diagnosed NPC patients were prospectively enrolled. Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) at 13 b-values were acquired using a 3.
[Study of preoperative MRI staging of tongue carcinoma in relation to pathological findings].

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MRI in assessing features of tongue carcinoma and its role in the preoperative staging of the disease.
- MRI showed high sensitivity rates for identifying the tumor stages according to the TNM and AJCC systems, particularly excelling in tumor invasion depth but struggled with lymph nodes smaller than 1 cm.
- Overall, MRI is a helpful tool for preoperative staging, providing valuable information that, when combined with clinical signs, enhances the accuracy of assessing tongue carcinoma.
