Methods: Contemporaneous MRI was superimposed on corresponding MET PET image s in 10 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme before treatment. Differ ences between the extended area of MET accumulation on PET imaging (MET area), the gadolinium (Gd) enhanced area on T1 weighted images (Gd area), and th e abnormal high signal intensity area on T2 weighted images (T2 high area) were assessed. Results: The MET area was larger than the Gd area and included the en tire Gd area. The discrepancy in volume between the MET and Gd areas became grea ter with increasing tumour diameter. On average, 58.6%of the METareawas located within the Gd area, 90.1%within 10 mm outside the Gd area, 98.1%within 20 mm, and 99.8%within 30 mm. A newly developed Gd area had emerged in five of the 10 cases up to the time of study. In three of the five cases this was in the MET a rea even after complete surgical resection of the Gd area on the initial MRI; in the remaining two it originated in the residual Gd area after surgery. In all c ases, the T2 high area was larger than the MET area. The MET area extended part ly beyond the T2 high area in nine cases, and was completely within it in one. Conclusions: Glioblastoma multiforme cells may extend over the Gd area and more widely with increasing tumour size on Gd MRI. The T2 high area includes the gr eater part of the tumour but not its entire area. The methods reported may be us eful in planning surgical resection, biopsy, or radiosurgery.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to investigate genetic and environmental factors contributing to the metabolic syndrome in Hispanic children. Metabolic syndrome, defined as having three or more metabolic risk components, was determined in 1030 Hispanic children, ages 4- 19 y, from 319 families enrolled in the VIVA LA FAMILIA study. Anthropometry, body composition by dual energy x- ray absorptiometry, clinical signs, and serum biochemistries were measured using standard techniques. Risk factor analysis and quantitative genetic analysis were performed. Of the overweight children, 20% , or 28% if abnormal liver function is included in the definition, presented with the metabolic syndrome. Odds ratios for the metabolic syndrome were significantly increased by body mass index z score and fasting serum insulin; independent effects of sex, age, puberty, and body composition were not seen. Heritabilities ± SE for waist circumference, triglycerides (TG), HDL, systolic blood pressure (SBP), glucose, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were highly significant. Pleiotropy (a common set of genes affecting two traits) detected between SBP and waist circumference, SBP and glucose, HDL and waist circumference, ALT and waist circumference, and TG and ALT may underlie the clustering of the components of the metabolic syndrome. Significant heritabilities and pleiotropy seen for the components of the metabolic syndrome indicate a strong genetic contribution to the metabolic syndrome in overweight Hispanic children.展开更多
