Mucopolysaccharidosis type I Hurler (MPSIH) is characterized by severe and progressive skeletal dysplasia that is not fully addressed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Autologous hematopoietic stem progenitor cell-gene therapy (HSPC-GT) provides superior metabolic correction in patients with MPSIH compared with HSCT; however, its ability to affect skeletal manifestations is unknown. Eight patients with MPSIH (mean age at treatment: 1.9 years) received lentiviral-based HSPC-GT in a phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT03488394)...

Consciousness is composed of arousal (i.e., wakefulness) and awareness. Substantial progress has been made in mapping the cortical networks that underlie awareness in the human brain, but knowledge about the subcortical networks that sustain arousal in humans is incomplete. Here, we aimed to map the connectivity of a proposed subcortical arousal network that sustains wakefulness in the human brain, analogous to the cortical default mode network (DMN) that has been shown to contribute to awareness. We integrated data from ex vivo diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of three human brains, obtained at autopsy from neurologically normal individuals, with immunohistochemical staining of subcortical brain sections...

Parotid gland tumors account for approximately 2% to 10% of head and neck tumors. Segmentation of parotid glands and tumors on magnetic resonance images is essential in accurately diagnosing and selecting appropriate surgical plans. However, segmentation of parotid glands is particularly challenging due to their variable shape and low contrast with surrounding structures. Recently, deep learning has developed rapidly, and Transformer-based networks have performed well on many computer vision tasks. However, Transformer-based networks have yet to be well used in parotid gland segmentation tasks...

BACKGROUND: Respiratory motion artefacts are a pitfall in thoracic PET/CT imaging. A source of these motion artefacts within PET images is the CT used for attenuation correction of the images. The arbitrary respiratory phase in which the helical CT ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msub><mml:mtext>CT</mml:mtext> <mml:mtext>helical</mml:mtext></mml:msub> </mml:math> ) is acquired often causes misregistration between PET and CT images, leading to inaccurate attenuation correction of the PET image...

BACKGROUND: In recent years, soft tissue materials have been applied as forehead fillers. Some filling materials need to be removed or refilled in a timely manner in certain situations; therefore, it is important to develop a method to identify the location and type of filling materials. This study summarizes the imaging findings of different filling materials under high-frequency ultrasound, providing a reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: We screened facial ultrasound images performed at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2015 to July 2023 and classified and summarized the types of frontal filling materials and their imaging results...

This study aimed to develop a novel radiotracer using trastuzumab and the long-lived [52 Mn]Mn isotope for HER2-targeted therapy selection and monitoring. A new Mn(II) chelator, BPPA, synthesized from a rigid bispyclen platform possessing a picolinate pendant arm, formed a stable and inert Mn(II) complex with favorable relaxation properties. BPPA was converted into a bifunctional chelator (BFC), conjugated to trastuzumab, and labeled with [52 Mn]Mn isotope. In comparison to DOTA-GA-trastuzumab, the BPPA-trastuzumab conjugate exhibits a labeling efficiency with [52 Mn]Mn approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher...

Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm that primarily affects young people and has a poor prognosis. Establishing this diagnosis requires the exclusion of a wide number of other neoplasms with multimodal clinical, imaging, histological, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic assessment. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the left lung in a 44-year-old man, diagnosed immunohistochemically after left lower lobectomy with atypical resection of the 5th segment. Imaging, diagnostic workup, histological and immunohistochemical characteristics, surgical treatment, and prognosis are discussed...

Evaluation of patients with peripheral lung lesions and lesions of the chest wall and mediastinum is challenging. The nature of the lesion identified by imaging studies can be determined by histological evaluation of biopsies. An important place in this direction is the ever-increasing popularity among thoracic surgeons of the transthoracic biopsy with a cutting needle under ultrasound control (US-TTCNB).

Despite significant development in systemic therapy and radiotherapy, surgery is still the cornerstone for curative lung cancer treatment. Although predicted postoperative function (ppo) somewhat exactly correlates with actual postoperative function bigger differences may be a cause of serious clinical outcome.

An 84-year-old man with prostate adenocarcinoma underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT due to PSA recurrence. Foci of 68Ga-PSMA uptake were observed in bilateral adrenal glands. Adrenal MRI showed metastasis only in the left adrenal gland. Metastatic 68Ga-PSMA uptake was also observed in the mediastinum and bone. Enzalutamide treatment was started. Follow-up 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan showed regression in both adrenal gland metastases and other metastases.

The concurrence of Hodgkin lymphoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare clinical event. Two women presented with a painless mass in the neck that was suspected malignancy by ultrasonography. Both cases shown in the 18F-FDG PET/CT images demonstrated multiple foci of increased FDG uptake in the neck, mimicking thyroid carcinoma with contralateral cervical lymph node metastases. Unexpectedly, the postoperative pathologies confirmed the thyroid lesion of papillary carcinoma and contralateral cervical lymph nodes of classical Hodgkin lymphoma...

Finding of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in prostate cancer (PC) cells that have made it possible to evaluate the patients with PC with a single imaging method. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is now part of the routine in patients with PC. After several years of clinical experience with PSMA tracers, the specificity is satisfactory; however, concerns about the specificity are raising day by day due to the newly laid out nonprostatic malignant and benign lesions with high PSMA expression...
