Gray Matter Nucleus Hyperintensity After Monthly Triple-Dose Gadopentetate Dimeglumine With Long-term Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Objectives Gadolinium deposition is widely believed to occur, but questions regarding accumulation pattern and permanence remain. We conducted a retrospective study of intracranial signal changes on monthly triple-dose contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations from the previously published Betaseron vs. Copaxone in Multiple Sclerosis With Triple-Dose Gadolinium and 3-Tesla MRI Endpoints Trial (N = 67) to characterize the dynamics of gadolinium deposition in several deep...

Tailoring Contrast Media Protocols to Varying Tube Voltages in Vascular and Parenchymal CT Imaging: The 10-to-10 Rule

The latest technical developments in CT have created the possibility for individualized scan protocols at variable kV settings. Lowering tube voltages closer to the K-edge of iodine increases attenuation. However, the latter is also influenced by patient characteristics such as total body weight. To maintain a robust contrast enhancement throughout the patient population in both vascular and parenchymal CT scans, one must adapt the contrast media administration protocols to both the selected kV setting...

Characterization of Leukoencephalopathy and Association With Later Neurocognitive Performance in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Objectives The most common form of pediatric cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Magnetic resonance (MR) neuroimaging studies have revealed leukoencephalopathy (LE) in pediatric ALL, but the impact of LE on long-term neurocognitive performance remains unknown. This study aims to objectively characterize the prevalence, extent, and intensity of LE, and their association with later neurocognitive performance. Materials and Methods Pediatric patients (N = 377) treated for ALL...

A Solution for Homogeneous Liver Enhancement in Computed Tomography: Results From the COMpLEx Trial

Objectives The aim of the study was to reach homogeneous enhancement of the liver, irrespective of total body weight (TBW) or tube voltage. An easy-to-use rule of thumb, the 10-to-10 rule, which pairs a 10 kV reduction in tube voltage with a 10% decrease in contrast media (CM) dose, was evaluated. Materials and Methods A total of 256 patients scheduled for an abdominal CT in portal venous phase were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 groups. In group 1 (n = 64), a tube voltage of 120 kV and...

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess quantitative ultra-high b-value (UHB) diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–derived parameters in comparison to standard clinical apparent diffusion coefficient (SD-ADC-2b-1000, SD-ADC-2b-1500) for the prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer, defined as Gleason Grade Group greater than or equal to 2. Materials and Methods Seventy-three patients who underwent 3-T prostate MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging acquired at...

Magnetization Transfer Imaging Predicts Porcine Kidney Recovery After Revascularization of Renal Artery Stenosis

Objectives Magnetization transfer imaging is a novel noninvasive tool for the detection of kidney fibrosis, but its association with kidney function and hemodynamics is unclear. Renovascular disease (RVD) associated with metabolic derangements elicits renal fibrosis and is often unresponsive to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTRA), but tools to predict therapeutic success are unavailable. We hypothesized that magnetization transfer imaging predicts kidney recovery after PTRA in swine...

Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects of Carpesium cernuum L. Methanolic Extract in LPS-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages

A hypernomic reaction or an abnormal inflammatory process could cause a series of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Additionally, oxidative stress has been identified to induce severe tissue injury and inflammation. Carpesium cernuum L. (C. cernuum) is a Chinese folk medicine used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and detoxifying properties. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of C. cernuum in inflammatory and oxidative stress conditions remains...

Advanced Glycation End Products Induce Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell-Derived Foam Cell Formation and Transdifferentiate to a Macrophage-Like State

Background. Advanced glycation end products play an important role in diabetic atherosclerosis. The effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on vascular smooth muscle cell- (VSMC-) derived foam cell formation and phenotypic transformation are unknown. Methods. Serological and histological samples were obtained from diabetic amputation patients and accident amputation patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University. CD68/Actin Alpha 2 (ACTA2) coimmunofluorescence sections were...

This study explores demographic, clinical, and therapeutic features of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) in a cohort of 80 patients recruited from 19 Italian referral Centers. Patients’ data were collected retrospectively and then analyzed according to age groups (disease onset before or after 16 years) and genotype (high penetrance (HP) and low penetrance (LP) TNFRSF1A gene variants). Pediatric- and adult-onset were reported, respectively, in 44 and 36 patients;...

Midregional Proadrenomedullin (MRproADM) Serum Levels in Critically Ill Patients Are Associated with Short-Term and Overall Mortality during a Two-Year Follow-Up

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a peptide with pleiotropic effects in systemic inflammation. Its more stable precursor protein midregional proadrenomedullin (MRproADM) can be measured more reliably compared to ADM. Our objective was to investigate the potential role of MRproADM as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in critically ill patients at the intensive care unit (ICU). We therefore measured MRproADM in 203 ICU patients and 66 healthy controls. We found that MRproADM levels are significantly increased...
