Clinical Analysis of Hemodynamic Change Over the Facial Artery in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between hemodynamic status of the facial artery and clinical outcome in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients by color Doppler sonography. METHOD: A total of 39 newly diagnosed OSCC patients were enrolled prospectively. The study set consisted of 39 facial arteries ipsilateral to the tumor and the contralateral facial arteries were included as controls. All sonographic indices of bilateral facial arteries were measured by color Doppler sonography before treatment. The relationship between sonographic indices and clinical outcome was analyzed. RESULT: Our results showed a significant increase of flow diameter and flow velocity ipsilateral to the tumor. The differences of flow diameter and flow velocity were significantly higher in patients with advanced T and N classifications. A significant lower overall survival rate was found in patients with greater differences of flow diameter, flow velocity and resistive index (RI). In Cox regression analysis, the patients with greater difference of RI and positive nodal metastasis had worse prognosis. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the divergent hemodynamic status of bilateral facial arteries in OSCC by color Doppler sonography. The hemodynamic difference of RI could serve as a prognostic predictor in patients with OSCC.

The Role of Imaging Studies of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in 63 Patients with Osteoporotic Compression Fracture: Preliminary Report

探討影像檢查在經皮穿刺脊椎整形術治療因骨質疏鬆性脊椎壓迫性骨折併發的背痛所扮演的角色。 共63位病人（12位男性51位女性；66個椎體）因為脊椎壓迫性骨折所引起的疼痛無法以藥物獲得緩解而接受經皮穿刺脊椎整形術的治療。手術前，病人會接受素片、電腦斷層或磁振造影的檢查，以確定病灶所在的位置。病人以靜脈注射鎮定劑後利用雙方位的透視X光機施行手術。在注射人工骨泥前（PMMA），都先施行椎體內靜脈攝影。術後病人立即接受電腦斷層檢查以評估人工骨泥注射的情形。3個月後再以問卷的方式評估病人疼痛改善的程度。 經過16個月的追蹤，86%的病人疼痛獲得的改善，86%的病人覺得滿意。臨床上，有一位病人術後發生疑似肺栓塞的症狀。總體的併發症則為1.6%。結果顯示，術前磁振造影檢查對於術前病人的評估及計畫具有非常重要的角色。 在熟手與好的透視機導引下，經皮穿刺脊椎整形術對於壓迫性骨折所引起的疼痛是一種微侵入性且有效的治療。而各項影像檢查間是相輔相成的，且都有其重要性。
