Magnetic Resonance Features and Characteristic Vascular Pattern of Alveolar Soft-Part Sarcoma.

Authors:
Jiu-Fa Cui Hai-Song Chen Da-Peng Hao Ji-Hua Liu Feng Hou Wen-Jian Xu

Oncol Res Treat 2017 20;40(10):580-585. Epub 2017 Sep 20.

Department of Radiology, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the magnetic resonance (MR) features of alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS).

Methods: We studied 12 patients with ASPS confirmed by pathology in this retrospective study. MR features were analyzed, especially for the location, morphology, signals, and related enhanced features of the tumor vessels.

Results: Flow voids were shown in the central part of the tumor on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) in all patients; they were arrayed in a radiating mode gathered toward the center (8 cases), designated by us as vascular center-gathered syndrome (VCGS), or scattered like twigs (4 cases). The flow voids were accompanied by high signals in all patients, including tubular (6 cases) and platy (6 cases) signals. Slightly higher signals were shown in the peripheral part of the tumor in all patients. Flow voids in the peripheral part were shown in all patients, and the majority of the flow voids surrounded the tumor (8 cases). The vessels around the tumor in 9 patients showed high signals, and the majority of the vessels were located at the superior and inferior poles (8 cases). 6 patients underwent enhanced scanning, including moderate (5 cases) and significant enhancement (1 case).

Conclusion: Low signals of radiating flow voids accompanied by high signals of slow blood flow or blood sinuses in the center part have high significance for the diagnosis of ASPS.

Experimental Characterization and Numerical Simulation of Voids in CFRP Components Processed by HP-RTM.

Authors:
Zhewu Chen Liansheng Peng Zhi Xiao

Materials (Basel) 2022 Jul 29;15(15). Epub 2022 Jul 29.

State Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacture for Vehicle Body, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China.

The long cycle of manufacturing continuous carbon fiber-reinforced composite has significantly limited its application in mass vehicle production. High-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) is the process with the ability to manufacture composites in a relatively short forming cycle (<5 min) using fast reactive resin. The present study aims to investigate the influence of HP-RTM process variables including fiber volume fraction and resin injection flow rate on void characteristics, and flexural properties of manufactured CFRP components based on experiments and numerical simulations.

Moorfields Eye Hospital, NH Foundation Trust, London, UK.

Purpose: to describe the Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) findings as a predictive role in chronic-relapsing stage of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD) and its comparison with other imaging modalities such as fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and Spectral-Domain OCT (SD-OCT).

Patients And Methods: A 37-year-old-lady from Blangadesh was diagnosed with VKHD. She was evaluated eight months before for a routine examination at which time she was in clinical remission. Read More
