Adenoid cystic carcinoma is usually slow growing and distant metastases preferentially go to lungs. Some clinical and pathological factors, such as involvement of accessory salivary glands, size, histological grade, solid or cribriform adenoid cystic subtypes and perineural invasion, may indicate aggressive subtypes that require more thorough work-up. The curtain sign is a pathognomonic sign of epidural involvement and should be recognized early on MRI.

A new program was launched on Radiolopolis: "Dare To Share!". Dare To Share! is a project, which allows sharing cases between researchers and colleagues. Users may find interesting or needed cases/images for different kind of projects (studies, books, publications, presentations etc.) while assuring the owner's credentials/copyright of the case. Direct contact between the searcher and the owner of the case provides also a good opportunity to get to know new, potential partners for future projects.
More infos about the Dare To Share! program can be found here.

The effects of the selective peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-[gamma]) inhibitor GW9662 on phenylbutyrate (PB)-induced NMR-detectable lipid metabolites was investigated on DU145 prostate cancer cells. DU145 cells were perfused with 10 mM PB in the presence or absence of 1 µM of GW9662 and the results monitored by 31P and diffusion-weighted 1H NMR spectroscopy. GW9662 completely reversed PB-induced NMR-visible lipid and total choline accumulation in 1H spectra and glycerophosphocholine and [beta]-NTP in 31P spectra. In addition, pre-incubation with GW9662 significantly reduced PB-induced caspase-3 activation, reversed the G1 block as measured by flow cytometry, and otherwise had little effect on cell survival as measured by MTT assay. These results suggest that the NM...
