Abstract Objective To develop and validate an 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)-based radiomics nomogram for non-invasively prediction of bone marrow involvement (BMI) in pediatric neuroblastoma. Methods A total 133 patients with neuroblastoma were retrospectively included randomized into the training set ( n = 93) test 40). Radiomics features extracted from both CT PET images. The signature was developed. Independent clinical risk...

Parasite egg-induced granulomas are the primary pathogenic lesions in murine schistosomiasis mansoni. This cell-mediated granulomatous response is specific for soluble egg Ag and appears to be mediated predominantly by CD4+ Th2 cells. As infection progresses from acute chronic phase, anti-soluble responses attenuate a process termed modulation. In this study hypothesis that modulation effected phase increase Th2-inhibiting Th1 cell activity was investigated. Northern blot quantification of...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a method of noninvasive brain that causes neuromodulation by activating neurons or changing excitability in certain area. Considering the known effects TMS and pathophysiology traumatic injury (TBI), was proposed to have potential for treating this condition. Moderate TBI induced adult male Sprague Dawley rats using Feeney's weight-dropping method. Injured were divided into group control group. Repetitive (rTMS) administered from post-TBI day 2. At...

Objectives . To explore the diagnostic value of 18 F‐FDG PET/CT bone marrow uptake pattern (BMUP) in detecting involvement (BMI) pediatric neuroblastoma (NB) patients. Methods Ninety‐eight NB patients were enrolled BMI analysis. Four patterns categorized based on pretreatment c images. Some crucial inspection indexes and metabolic parameters analyzed. The BMUP was divided into BMUP1, BMUP2, BMUP3, BMUP4. Paired‐like homeobox 2b (PHOX2B) blood, biopsy (BMB) result, compared to detect BMI. All...

To evaluate the role of pre-therapeutic 18F-FDG PET/CT in pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.This retrospective study included 29 HLH children (1-16 years) EBV infection, who underwent from July 2018 to November 2020. Pathology results were considered as reference standard. These patients divided into two groups: EBV-induced malignancy-associated (M-HLH, N = 9) and non-malignancy-associated (NM-HLH, 20). The regions interest (ROIs)...

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is often used for detecting malignancy in patients with newly diagnosed hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), acceptable sensitivity but relatively low specificity. The aim of this study was to improve the diagnostic ability 18F-FDG identifying HLH by combining and clinical parameters.Ninety-seven (age ≥ 14 years) secondary were retrospectively reviewed divided into derivation (n = 71) validation 26) cohorts according admission time. In cohort, 22 had...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, potentially fatal illness, which can be divided into primary HLH (pHLH) and secondary (sHLH). pHLH driven by genetic defections. Moreover, the sHLH usually triggered malignancy or non‐malignancy diseases. Sixty‐two newly diagnosed patients with known etiology those who underwent 18 F‐FDG PET/CT examination from July 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They malignancy‐associated (M‐HLH, n = 13) non‐malignancy‐associated...

Purpose: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and severe disease with poor prognosis. We aimed to determine if 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT-derived radiomic features alone or combination clinical parameters could predict survival in adult HLH. Methods: This study included 70 adults HLH (training cohort, n = 50; validation 20) who underwent pretherapeutic 18F-FDG PET/CT scans between August 2016 June 2020. Radiomic were extracted from the liver spleen on CT PET...
