目的 探讨以增强T_(2)-FLAIR为参照,测量瘤周水肿ADC值在原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤(primary central nervous system lymphoma,PCNSL)与高级别胶质瘤(high-grade glioma,HGG)中的鉴别诊断价值。方法 回顾性纳入经病理证实的16例PCNSL和3...目的 探讨以增强T_(2)-FLAIR为参照,测量瘤周水肿ADC值在原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤(primary central nervous system lymphoma,PCNSL)与高级别胶质瘤(high-grade glioma,HGG)中的鉴别诊断价值。方法 回顾性纳入经病理证实的16例PCNSL和34例HGG患者,用独立样本t检验比较组间年龄。以增强T2-FLAIR为参照,测量瘤周水肿区的表观扩散系数(appaernt diffusion coefficient,ADC)值,绘制受试者操作特征曲线(receiver operating chara cteristic curve,ROC)分析ADC值在两者鉴别诊断中的效能。结果 两组间年龄差异无统计学意义(t=-0.726,P>0.05)。瘤周水肿区的ADC值差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),且PCNSL瘤周水肿ADC值[(1.60±0.24)×10^(-3)mm^(2)/s]高于HGG[(1.34±0.16)×10^(-3)mm^(2)/s](t=-4.438,P=0.000)。ROC曲线下面积为0.809mm^(2),最佳截断点ADC值为1.54×10^(3)mm^(2)/s,其灵敏度和特异度分别为75%和93.7%。结论以增强T_(2)-FLAIR为参照测量的瘤周水肿ADC值可有效鉴别PCN S L与HGG。展开更多

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) occurs with increased frequency in HIV seropositive individuals. The increase in NHL has been more marked in the last decade, with HIV being the major contributor to this increase. More than 70% of the adult NHL patients at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH), Soweto, Johannesburg, are HIV seropositive. In addition, HIV has impacted on the clinical presentation—being more aggressive and atypical. Histologically, HIV-NHL typically manifests as B-cell, high grade lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL);Burkitt lymphoma (BL);B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and BL and plasmablastic lymphoma. The latter two entities, which were previously rare or unknown, have gained prominence in the last decade, occurring primarily in HIV seropositive individuals. HIV-NHL, being associated with all these adverse prognostic factors results in a poorer overall survival.展开更多
