Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between power Doppler vascularity index (PDVI) and microvessel density (MVD) and evaluate the angiogenesis in high-grade gliomas and the adjacent edema in patients with glioma using intraoperative power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) during gross total resection.
Methods: In 25 cases of high-grade gliomas undergoing gross total tumor resections, PDUS was performed intraoperatively and the regions of interest within the tumor and the adjacent edema were analyzed with Photoshop software to measure the tumoral and peritumoral blood flow quantified as PDVI. The tumoral and adjacent MVD were determined using immunohistochemical staining for CD34. The correlation between PDVI in the gliomas and the adjacent edema and MVD in the corresponding areas were analyzed using Spearman correlation test.
Results: The measurement of both PVDI and MVD revealed significant difference in vascularity between the gliomas and the adjacent edema (t=0.000, P<0.01), and PDVI was positively correlated to MVD measurement (r=0.7248 in the tumors and r=0.6608 in the adjacent edema).
Conclusions: The difference in the vascularity between the tumor and adjacent edema allows their distinction by PDUS during operation for high-grade glioma. Intraoperative PDUS provides an accurate and reliable means for measuring vascularity in the glioma and the adjacent edema tissue.

A 45-year-old female presented with a 15-day history of headache and blurred vision. MRI of the brain revealed multiple irregular, T2-hyperintense lesions with significant surrounding edema, central necrosis, peripheral rim enhancement, and corpus callosum involvement resulting in a "butterfly" appearance. These imaging features led to an initial radiological impression of multifocal glioblastoma multiforme.

Image-guided surgery plays a critical role in improving the cancer patient prognosis. However, current clinical probes are often single-modal with "always-on" signals, failing to provide complementary and precise guidance across all perioperative phases. To tackle this hurdle, we develop a biomarker-activatable, multimodal nanoprobe - - based on redox-mediated manganese valence switching for tumor-specific, perioperative image-guided surgery.

This study examined the differential sensitivity of intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) and healthy tissue to focused ultrasound (FUS) and microbubbles in a rat model of IMSCT. F98 glioma cells were injected into spinal cords of F344 rats. FUS (580 kHz, 10 ms bursts, 1 Hz pulse repetition frequency, 40 s) was delivered to tumor and adjacent healthy tissue at varying pressures (0-1.

The integration of luminescent materials with plasmonic nanomaterials holds the potential to give rise to innovative analytical and sensing applications. In this study, novel nano-scaled luminescent Hf-MOF (Hf-nanoMOF) was prepared by the modulator-induced defect approach. Acetate was used as a modulator to preferentially coordinate with metal centers, which inhibited the formation of coordination bond between the metal clusters and 2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and limited the Ostwald ripening effect.

Immune-related genes (IRGs) have been increasingly recognized as critical determinants in the multistage processes of cancer development and progression. However, the functional roles of IRGs in the incidence and progression of LGG remain to be studied. This study is aimed at establishing a robust IRGs signature through systematic bioinformatics analysis, followed by an in-depth investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying its functional roles.
