Synopsis
Symptoms
of ovarian cancer are concealed, it is difficult to diagnose early, and the
mortality rate is very high. DKI imaging can sensitively detect microstructure
changes in tumor tissue and help preoperative assessment of Ki67 expression.
This paper aims to study the correlation between Ki67 expression and DKI in
ovarian cancer. The results show that the MK, Ka, Kr, MD, Da and Dr values in
the DKI parameters have obvious correlation with Ki-67 expressions, and that
the MK, Ka, and Kr values in DKI parameters were positive correlation with
Ki-67 expression levels, and the difference was statistically significant.
Purpose
This paper aims to study the correlation
between Ki 67 expression and DKI parameters in ovarian cancer.Introduction
In recent years, the death from ovarian cancer
has occupied the first place of all kinds of gynaecological tumors, and ovarian
cancer has posed a serious threat to women's lives [1].
Research shows that cell proliferation antigen Ki67 reflects cell division and
proliferation activity [2], single immunomass is used to assess ovarian cancer is not easy[3],while hydromolecules[4] in DKI reaction tissue are more sensitive and
specific, the characteristic parameters are more sensitive and specific. This
paper focuses on the relevance of Ki67 expressions to DKI parameters in ovarian
cancer. Objective To evaluate the results of tumor-related pathological
indicators with DKI, to facilitate diagnosis and treatment of disease and
improve the quality of patients' survival.Methods
Retrospective collection of 24 cases of ovarian
cancer patients with surgery and pathological confirmation in 2015 - 2021. All
patients underwent abdominal MR examinations (Signa HDxt, GE Medical Systems,
USA) (scanning parameters are shown in table 1). The original axial digital
image of the DKI sequence is transmitted to the GE SDC-ADW 4.6 workstation (Sun
Microsystems, Santa Clara, California), reprocessing using Funcool software.
Based on the pathological position of the pathological pathology obtained on t2
weighted or DWI image, the diagrams of MK, Ka, Kr, MD, Da and Dr were
automatically constructed and reviewed by two observers with 10 and 15 years of
pelvic imaging experience, respectively. According to the fat suppression of
T2WI(Figure 1), artificial areas of interest (ROIs) are drawn along the edge of
tumor with the largest in the real area (we choose the entities in the tumor).
Repeat measurements three times, calculate the average of three measurements.
Record MK, Ka, Kr, MD, Da and Dr values. The consistency of the measurements of
the two groups is tested using the intra-group correlation coefficient
(Intra-group corruption, ICC). The correlation between the above value and the
expression of Ki67 was compared with Pearson test. Use scattering diagram to
assess the relevance.Results
MK is
positive for the expression of Ki-67 (r = 0.458, P-0.05), Ka and Ki-67 (r =
0.489, P-0.05), Kr and Ki-67 (r = 0.634, P-0.01), MD negatively correlated with
Ki-67 expressions (r = 0.490, P-0.05), Da and Ki-67 expression negatively (r =
0.493, P-0.05), Dr and Ki-67 expression negatively correlated with (r = 0.507,
P-0.05) (as shown in table 2, Figure 2)Discussion
The level of expression
in Ki-67 is closely related to the degree of malignancy of tumor[4]. The higher the Ki-67 expression level, the
more active the tumor cell proliferation, the rapid proliferation of tumor
cells and neoplasms, which caused necrosis, haemorrhage, cyst changes, etc. and
further increased the complexity of tumor microstructure[5] . The study on ovarian cancer showed that MK,
Ka and Kr values were positive with Ki-67, while MD, Da and Dr values were
negatively correlated with Ki-67 expression levels. Our research shows that DKI
may be a promising imaging method to evaluate Ki 67 expressions.Conclusion
Ki67 expression and DKI characteristic
parameters have correlation in ovarian cancer.Acknowledgements
