VAS decreased more than 10 mm in 58.0% of these subjects, and analgesic consumption was reduced more than 10% in 39.1% of subjects. The response rates were 46.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 34.3-58.8%) in the 69 subjects that could be evaluated and 43.3% (95% CI 32.9-54.2%) in all subjects. The scoring in BPI for interference in daily life improved together with improvement in its pain scores. Total FACT-G score showed significant improvement, as did its score in the subsection of physical well-being. Both platelets and leucocytes decreased by 22% at nadir (week 8), and such profiles of myelosuppression by 89SrCl2 were similar to those in the previous clinical studies.Conclusion: These results suggest the clinical utility of 89SrCl2 for pain palliation, which leads to QOL improvement in patients with painful generalized bone metastases.","PeriodicalId":19251,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Igaku Hoshasen Gakkai zasshi.

Therapeutic response was assessed using MRI. Median follow-up time for the 44 patients was 34 months.

Slice thicknesses of source images were 2 mm in 24, 1 mm in 30, and 0.5 mm in 25 cases. The presence of centrilobular nodules, emphysema, bronchiectasis, ground-glass opacity (GGO), consolidation, interstitial thickening, and pulmonary nodule was evaluated on thin-section source images by an experienced chest radiologist to establish gold standards and then subsequently assessed on the MPR images independently by two radiologists. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each finding were calculated regarding the results of thin-section source images as the gold standards. Accuracy for the detection of findings was also statistically compared among the three groups of different source slice thicknesses using Fisher's exact test.Results: Accuracy for the detection of findings was significantly less (p < 0.05) in 2 mm slice MPR for centrilobular nodule, GGO, and interstitial thickening than in 1 mm or 0.5 mm slice MPR. No statistically significant difference was observed for any of the findings between 0.5 mm and 1 mm slice MPR. Rates of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the MPR images for detection of the findings were 89-100%, 73-95%, and 84-95%, respectively.Conclusion: In comparison with thin-section source images, MPR images are comparably sensitive but not as specific for the detection of findings. When producing MPR images, the slice thickness of source images should be less than 2 mm.","PeriodicalId":19251,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Igaku Hoshasen Gakkai zasshi.

During the first hour after injection, dynamic lumbar images or consecutively repeated whole-body images were acquired. Whole body images then were acquired at 1, 5, and 24 hours. Until 5 hours after injection, patients were kept in bed resting. Visualization of the leakage (direct finding) and that of the bladder (indirect finding) were observed in 78.3% (18/23) and 60.9% (14/23), respectively. Leakage was visualized most frequently at 5 hours after injection. There were three cases in which the leakage was only visualized at 24 hours. Therefore, there must be cases that show intermittent CSF leakage. To avoid overlooking these cases, a 24-hour whole-body image is also important. The appropriate procedure of radionuclide cisternography is very important to detect CSF leakage, and our procedure proved to be more effective for detecting the abnormal findings.","PeriodicalId":19251,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Igaku Hoshasen Gakkai zasshi.
