Comparative analysis of three common imaging modalities for nasolabial cysts.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the clinical diagnostic value of ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for nasolabial cysts.

Methods

The clinical and imaging data of 20 patients with 21 nasolabial cysts confirmed surgically and histopathologically were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

The largest cyst was 3.4 × 2.7 × 2.3 cm, and the smallest cyst was 1.1 × 0.7 × 0.5 cm. All cysts were located in the soft tissue between the nasolabial fold and maxillary bone. USG showed sensitivity of 95%, accuracy of 95%, and a missed diagnosis rate of 5%; CT showed sensitivity of 80%, accuracy of 80%, and a missed diagnosis rate of 20%; and MRI showed sensitivity of 85%, accuracy of 85%, and a missed diagnosis rate of 15%.

Conclusions

USG showed higher sensitivity and accuracy and a lower missed diagnosis rate than CT and MRI. Therefore, USG is worth popularizing on a large scale for the diagnosis of nasolabial cysts.

Project description:BackgroundComparative transcriptomic analysis is a powerful approach for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying various physiological and pathological processes, including liver disease. The liver is a vital organ with diverse functions, including metabolism and detoxification. In vitro models of liver cells, such as HepG2, Huh7, and Hep3B, have been widely used to study liver biology and pathology. However, there is limited information on the heterogeneity of these cell lines at the transcriptomic level.ObjectiveThis study aimed to conduct a comparative transcriptomic analysis of three common liver cell lines (HepG2, Huh7, and Hep3B) using publicly available RNA-sequencing data. In addition, we compared these cell lines to primary hepatocytes, cells isolated directly from liver tissue and considered the gold standard for studying liver function and disease.MethodsOur study included sequencing data with the following criteria: total number of reads over 20,000,000, average read length of over 60 base pairs, Illumina sequencing, and non-treated cells. The data for the three cell lines were compiled: HepG2 (97 samples), Huh7 (39 samples), and Hep3B (16 samples). We performed differential gene expression analysis using the DESeq2 package, principal component analysis, hierarchical clustering on principal components, and correlation analysis to explore the heterogeneity within each cell line.ResultsWe identified numerous genes and pathways differentially expressed between HepG2, Huh7, and Hep3B, such as oxidative phosphorylation, cholesterol metabolism, and DNA damage. We report that the expression levels of important genes differ significantly between primary hepatocytes and liver cell lines.ConclusionOur study provides new insights into the transcriptional heterogeneity of commonly used liver cell lines and highlights the importance of considering specific cell line. Consequently, transferring results without considering the heterogeneity of cell lines is impractical and may lead to inaccurate or distorted conclusions.

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) poses a life-threatening complication with a mortality rate of 25-75%. Treatment aims at achieving hemostasis and includes options such as trans-arterial embolization, perihepatic packing, and hepatic resection. The optimal treatment remains a subject of debate. Our retrospective review evaluates these treatments and investigates imaging's role in prognosis for rHCC patients.PurposeWe aimed to compare survival outcomes among rHCC patients who received transarterial embolization (TAE), surgery (perihepatic packing, hepatectomy), or best supportive care (BSC), while also identifying predictive imaging factors in these patients.Materials and methodsAll patients diagnosed with rHCC and admitted to Maharaj Nakorn Chiangmai Hospital between January 2012 and December 2021 were included. We reviewed clinical features, imaging results, treatment modalities, and outcomes. In order to balance pretreatment confounders, inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was employed. Flexible parametric survival regression was utilized to compare survival outcomes and identify imaging factors predicting the survival of rHCC patients. Hazard ratios (HR) and the difference in restricted mean survival time (RMST) were reported.ResultAmong the 186 rHCC patients included, we observed 90-day and 1-year mortality rates of 64% and 84%, respectively. Both the TAE and surgery groups exhibited significantly lower 1-year mortality rates compared to BSC. The HR were 0.56 (95% CI 0.33-0.96) for TAE and 0.52 (95% CI 0.28-0.95) for surgery compared to BSC. Both the TAE and surgery also significantly extended the 1-yeaar life expectancy post-initial treatment when compared to BSC, with an RMST difference of + 55.40 days (95% CI 30.18-80.63) for TAE vs. BSC and + 68.43 days (95% CI 38.77-98.09) for surgery vs. BSC. The presence of active contrast extravasation and bleeding in both lobes were independent prognostic factors for 1-year survival.ConclusionsTAE and surgical treatments provide comparable survival benefits for rHCC patients, extending survival time by approximately 2 months compared to best supportive care. We strongly recommend active management for all rHCC patients whenever possible.
