    Notes: Abstract. Background: To assess the frequency and characteristics of nonpathological focal enhancements seen on spiral computed tomographic (CT) hepatic angiography (CTA). Methods: Spiral CTA and spiral CT arterial portography (CTAP) were performed in 31 patients with suspected liver malignancy prior to potential liver resection. The CTA images were retrospectively reviewed for focal enhancements by two radiologists. After determining nonpathological focal enhancements on CTA images based on the other radiographic tests, surgical exploration including intraoperative sonography, follow-up imagings, the frequency, size, site, and shape of nonpathological focal enhancements with CTA were assessed. Results: Thirty-six nonpathological focal enhancements with CTA from 4 to 23 (mean = 11.4) mm were seen in 14 (45.2%) of 31 patients. Thirteen (36.1%) of 36 nonpathological focal enhancements with CTA were not depicted with CTAP. Nonpathological focal enhancements with CTA were frequent in Couinaud segments III (27.8%), V (22.2%), and VI (19.4%). Twenty-three (63.9%) of 36 nonpathological focal enhancements were located in the edge of the liver. Shapes of 36 nonpathological focal enhancements with CTA included circular (n = 16), worm (n = 7), irregular (n = 6), dot (n = 6), and wedge (n = 1). Conclusion: In nearly half of patients, spiral CTA shows various shapes of small nonpathological focal enhancements more frequently in the liver edge.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: To assess an optimal methodology of combined spiral computed tomographic (CT) angiography (CTA) and CT arterial portography (CTAP) for detection and characterization of liver tumors. Methods: We performed spiral CTAP only in five patients with 30–32% contrast (subset A), CTAP combined with preceding spiral CTA using 30–32% contrast in 19 (subset B), and CTAP combined with preceding spiral CTA with 60–64% contrast in seven (subset C). The CT numbers of the aorta immediately before preceding CTA and subsequent CTAP and the CT numbers of malignant tumor and liver parenchyma with CTAP were measured. Results: The differences of the CT number between the malignant tumor and liver parenchyma on CTAP were 61.1–161.8 (mean ± SD, 114.5 ± 39.3) HU, 50.7–164.8 (104.2 ± 31.2) HU, and 101.2–368.3 (219.5 ± 90.5) HU in subsets A, B, and C, respectively. Two cavernous hemangiomas showed pathognomonic findings with preceding CTA. Conclusion: Combination of preceding spiral CTA and subsequent spiral CTAP using 30% contrast with a 5-min interval is an optimal method for detection and characterization of liver tumors.

    Notes: Abstract. False-negative findings on CT angiography (CTA) in two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were demonstrated. CTA images of one patient with an aberrant left hepatic artery branching from the left gastric artery and another patient whose right hepatic artery was occluded owing to an unknown cause failed to demonstrate HCCs. This report suggests one of the diagnostic pitfalls of CTA for diagnosis of liver tumors.

    Notes: Abstract Fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products in serum from five children with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were characterized using a method of immunoabsorption followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All of the samples contained not only fragment D-dimer which was produced on plasmin lysis of cross-linked fibrin, but also fibrinogen degradation products (fragments X, Y and D). These results suggest that both fibrinogenolysis and fibrinolysis take place simultaneously in DIC.

    Notes: Transparent nano-crystallized glass fibers with 300μm diameter were successfullyfabricated in tellurite (TeO2) based glass systems. Structure of crystallized glass fibers and orientationof nano-size crystals were quantitatively investigated by microscopic Raman spectroscopy and X-raydiffraction. Second harmonic generation was measured in the nano-crystallized optical fibers

    Notes: Investigations for space-selected structure ordering from nano-particles to single-crystalpatterning in glasses will be described. Transparent crystallization in glass must be the best materialsolution to obtain novel functional glasses with a permanent second-order optical nonlinearity. Wefocus on the new functions created by structure ordering in glass by means of laser micro-fabricationfor space-selected crystallization. Two topics in our recent experimental results of space-selectedstructure ordering in glass will be presented as follows: 1) Single crystalline patterning by atom heatlaser processing in Sm-doped glasses for optical waveguides with second-order optical nonlinearity,2) structure ordering of domains in crystallized glass fibers for possible photonic fiber-type deviceswith active signal processing

    Notes: Summary ¶ Background. Recently, three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (CTA) has been used for the diagnosis and treatment planning of cerebral aneurysm presenting with or without subarachnoid haemorrhage, but the diagnostic value of CTA has not been established. This study evaluated the usefulness of CTA in patients with dissecting aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar system.  Method. Four patients with acute dissecting aneurysms were examined by CTA, including 3 women and 1 man with a mean age of 60.5±8.5 years (range: 52–67 years). There were three patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and one patient presenting with ischaemia. One patient underwent CTA twice and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) once, while one patient had both examinations three times. CTA was performed with a nonionic contrast medium (100 ml of iomeprol 350 mg I/ml) administered via an auto-injector into an antecubital vein at 1.5–1.7 ml/s. To reconstruct three-dimensional images, the volume rendering method was utilized.  Findings. All initial CTA studies were performed safely within 5 hours after onset. In patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage, all lesions were demonstrated by finding either the “pearl and string sign” or a “double shadow” on CTA. In the patient presenting with ischaemia, “pearl and string sign” and “double shadow” was shown after the second CTA, and follow-up CTA was able to demonstrate the change of the lesion morphology. All lesions had more irregular luminal surfaces than the non-lesional segments of the involved vessels.  Interpretation. CTA was safe in patients with acute vertebrobasilar dissection and demonstrated either the “pearl and string sign” or a “double shadow” which were commonly showed on DSA. An “irregular luminal surface sign” on CTA seems to be one of the characteristics of vertebrobasilar dissection.  The view shown by CTA is not less useful than that by DSA to diagnosis and treatment planning in the acute phase of vertebrobasilar dissection, and can also be employed to follow the changes of lesion morphology over time.
