简介:AbstractBackground:Due to development of magnetic resonance-based functional imaging, it is easier to detect micro-structural alterations of tumor tissues. The aim of this study was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the correlation of non-Gaussian diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters with expression of molecular markers (epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR]; anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK]; Ki-67 protein) in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma, using routine diffusion-weighted imaging as the reference standard.Methods:Data from patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CHCAMS) from 2016 to 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. The pathologic and magnetic resonance imaging data of 96 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Specifically, the Kapp and Dapp parameters measured from the DKI model; apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value from the diffusion-weighted imaging model; and the EGFR, ALK, and Ki-67 biomarkers detected by immunohistochemistry and/or molecular biology techniques after biopsy or surgery were evaluated. The relations between quantitative parameters (ADC, Kapp, Dapp) and pathologic outcomes (EGFR, ALK, and Ki-67 expression) were analyzed by Spearman correlation test.Results:Of the 96 lung adenocarcinoma lesions (from 96 patients), the number of EGFR- and ALK-positive and high Ki-67 expressing lesions were 53, 12, and 83, respectively. The Kapp values were significantly higher among patients with EGFR-positive mutations (0.81 ± 0.12 vs. 0.66 ± 0.10, t = 6.41, P < 0.001), ALK rearrangement-negative (0.76 ± 0.12 vs. 0.60 ± 0.15, t = 4.09, P < 0.001), and high Ki-67 proliferative index (PI) (0.76 ± 0.12 vs. 0.58 ± 0.13, t = 4.88, P < 0.001). The Dapp values were significantly lower among patients with high Ki-67 PI (3.19 ± 0.69 μm2/ms vs. 4.20 ± 0.83 μm2/ms, t = 4.80, P < 0.001) and EGFR-positive mutations (3.11 ± 0.73 μm2/ms vs. 3.59 ± 0.77 μm2/ms, t = 3.12, P = 0.002). The differences in mean Dapp (3.73 ± 1.26 μm2/ms vs. 3.26 ± 0.68 μm2/ms, t = 1.96, P = 0.053) or ADC values ([1.34 ± 0.81] × 10-3 mm2/s vs. [1.33 ± 0.41] × 10-3 mm2/s, t = 0.07, P = 0.941) between the groups with or without ALK rearrangements were not statistically significant. The ADC values were significantly lower among patients with EGFR-positive mutation ([1.19 ± 0.37] × 10-3 mm2/s vs. [1.50 ± 0.53] × 10-3 mm2/s, t = 3.38, P = 0.001) and high Ki-67 PI ([1.28 ± 0.39] × 10-3 mm2/s vs. [1.67 ± 0.77] × 10-3 mm2/s, t = 2.88, P = 0.005). Kapp was strongly positively correlated with EGFR mutations (r = 0.844, P = 0.008), strongly positively correlated with Ki-67 PI (r = 0.882, P = 0.001), and strongly negatively correlated with ALK rearrangements (r = -0.772, P = 0.001). Dapp was moderately correlated with EGFR mutations (r = -0.650, P = 0.024) or Ki-67 PI (r = -0.734, P = 0.012). ADC was moderately correlated with Ki-67 PI (r = -0.679, P = 0.033).Conclusions:The Kapp value of DKI parameters was strongly correlated with different expression of EGFR, ALK, and Ki-67 in advanced lung adenocarcinoma. The results potentially indicate a surrogate measure of the status of different molecular markers assessed by non-invasive imaging tools.
简介:AbstractBackground:The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze our experience with the patients who underwent surgical treatment of posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysms originating from fetal posterior cerebral artery (fPCA) and analyze the risk factors for the postoperative radiological infarction and outcome.Methods:From 2011 to 2020, we retrospectively reviewed 74 PComA aneurysms originating from fPCA in terms of the clinical and radiological features and obtained the follow-up data from the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. The relationships between these features and follow-up data were assessed with the univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:In this series, 74 aneurysms were occurring at the origin of fPCAs. All the patients showed complete obliteration of their aneurysms. Full fPCA type tends to be a predictive factor for radiological infarction (univariate χ2 = 5.873, P = 0.027; multivariate OR = 0.264, P = 0.060). Postoperative radiological infarction (univariate χ2 = 12.611, P = 0.001; multivariate OR = 6.033, P = 0.043), rupture (univariate χ2 = 4.514, P = 0.047; multivariate OR = 57.966, P = 0.044), and hypertension (univariate χ2 = 5.301, P = 0.024; multivariate OR = 24.462, P = 0.029) tend to be the independent predictive factors for poor prognosis at 3 months after discharge.Conclusions:In conclusion, we report a series of patients harboring aneurysms originating from the fPCA. Surgical clipping is a reliable strategy. Full fPCA type is related to postsurgical infarction. Postoperative radiological infarction, rupture, and hypertension tend to be the independent predictive factor for poor prognosis at 3 months after discharge.
