To assess the efficacy of the combination of sonographic morphology score (SMS) with CA125 and HE4 for detecting recurrent pelvic ovarian carcinoma (OC). Data of 58 OC patients treated in our hospital between 2014 and 2016 were analyzed. After cytoreductive surgery and routine chemotherapy, all patients were followed up by transvaginal ultrasound examination (SMS for pelvic masses based on volume and structure scores) and tumor marker (serum CA125 and HE4) detection.

Article Synopsis
  • * When exposed to 20-kHz ultrasound, the artery filled with SonoVue MBs showed tremors and six leakage events, revealing defects and irregularities in its structure.
  • * In contrast, a control artery filled with saline did not show any damage or leakage, indicating that the combination of ultrasound and MBs significantly increases the risk of vessel rupture.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess a new sonographic morphology score (SMS) for distinguishing between malignant and benign ovarian tumors.
  • Data from 84 ovarian tumor cases were analyzed to create the new SMS, which was compared to an older SMS and traditional biomarkers (CA-125 and CA-72-4).
  • The new SMS showed a higher diagnostic efficacy with an area under the ROC curve of 0.836 compared to 0.709 for the old SMS, demonstrating its potential usefulness in clinical settings, except for ovarian thecoma cases.

Objective: Low-frequency ultrasound (US) in combination with microbubbles (MBs) is able to inhibit the growth of VX2 rabbit liver tumors. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) followed by low-frequency ultrasound and microbubbles (USMB) to inhibit VX2 tumor growth.

Methods: Eighteen New Zealand rabbits with hepatic VX2 tumors were divided into three groups: PEI, low-frequency ultrasound and MBs followed by PEI (USMB + PEI), and PEI followed by USMB (PEI + USMB).

and studies have identified that low-frequency ultrasound (US) and microbubbles (MBs) mediate tumor inhibitory effects. However, the application of US in the clinical setting remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinically therapeutic effect of 20 kHz US in combination with MBs for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Preoperative ultrasound features as prognostic factors for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Radiol Med

June 2015

Department of Radiology, Research Institute of Hepatic Tumor of Nantong University, Nantong University Affiliated Nantong Tumor Hospital, No. 30, North Tong-yang Road, Nantong, 226361, Jiangsu, China,

Purpose: Ultrasound is the most common imaging tool used to scan the tumours of hepatic carcinoma patients. However, very few studies have been performed to evaluate ultrasound imaging features for predicting tumour prognosis. Therefore, the goal of the current study was to evaluate preoperative ultrasound characteristics as prognostic factors that could affect survival rate after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
