Intraluminal papillary carcinoma of the gallbladder: prognostic value of computed tomography and sonography.

Twenty-seven consecutive cases with a prospective diagnosis of cancer of the gallbladder were analyzed to clarify the computed tomographic (CT) and ultrasonographic features, behavior, and prognosis of intraluminal papillary carcinoma (n = 7) of the organ. With CT and ultrasonography, these intraluminal carcinomas were further classified into 3 subtypes: single polyp, multiple polyp, and jam-packed gallbladder. Preoperative diagnosis, evaluation of local invasiveness, and detection of metastatic lesions were reliably done. Carcinomas of this type were locally less invasive, less frequently metastasized, and resulted in a longer survival than the other massive and thickened-wall carcinomas.

Indium-111 leukocyte imaging in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

This study evaluates the usefulness of labeled leukocyte imaging in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In 33 patients, the incidence of pain and swelling in 66 wrist joints and 66 knee joints was compared with the accumulation of [111In]leukocytes. No accumulation of [111In]leukocytes was seen in any of the patients' wrists (0/12) or knee joints (0/14) when both pain and swelling were absent. In contrast, 93% (25/27) of wrist joints and 80% (24/30) of knee joints with both pain and swelling were positive by [111In]leukocyte scintigraphy. There was little correlation between the stage of the disease, as determined by radiography, and [111In]leukocyte accumulation. This study suggests that [111In]leukocyte imaging may be a reliable procedure for monitoring the activity of rheumatoid arthritis, especially for confirming the lack of an ongoing inflammatory response.

Provocation test for children with bronchial asthma monitored by 81mKr ventilation and perfusion lung scans.

A provocation test of bronchial asthma was performed on two children. The test involved the continuous inhalation of krypton-81m gas and intermittent intravenous injections of krypton-81m glucose solution. The patient's response was carefully monitored in order to clarify the relationship between the time of the appearance and the intensity of ventilation and perfusion defects. The bronchial sensitivity of each patient was determined according to the dose of allergen or bronchoconstrictor delivered before the first ventilation defects were observable. The test was sensitive enough for the children not to develop asthmatic symptoms during and after the test. The results showed that perfusion defects appeared after ventilation defects and were less intense. The perfusion defects disappeared rapidly and before the ventilation defects had become undetectable.

Accessory lateral segmental branch of the portal vein.

An accessory lateral segmental branch of the protal vein was found in a patient with esophageal varices. This rare anomalous branch should not be mistaken for a coronary vein supplying varices.

Hepatic schistosomiasis japonica identified by CT.

We reviewed the CT examinations of 17 patients who had hepatic schistosomiasis japonica and noted peculiar hepatic calcifications in 15 cases and a notch on the hepatic surface in six. A hepatocellular carcinoma was found in six patients. The calcifications and notch appeared to indicate the degree of hepatic fibrosis but did not correlate with cirrhotic deformation.
