AIM: To examine the correlation between the severity of @entity729 and the clinical symptoms of @entity1960 . METHODS: This was a retrospective study. The data, including the numbers of episodes of @entity66 , were collected from the medical records at Taipei Veterans General Hospital and Wei Gong Memorial Hospital in Taiwan between January 2005 and December 2014. All computed tomography images with or without contrast enhancement were obtained using a multiple detector computed tomography scanner. The scanning range reached from the dome of the diaphragm to the pelvis. The severity of @entity730 at the tributaries of the portal vein was measured using a four-grade scoring system of the @entity730 of @entity1960 . The episodes of @entity66 were defined as symptoms of @entity221 , @entity490 , severe @entity1142 , @entity1744 , @entity391 or @entity294 based on a review of the medical records. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between the numbers of episodes of @entity66 and the severity of the @entity730 of the mesenteric veins. RESULTS: More than 3000 cases were reviewed from 2005 to 2014, and a total of 12 @entity1 from Taipei Veterans General Hospital and Wei Gong Memorial Hospital were enrolled according to our inclusion criteria. Among these 12 @entity1 , the mean age of the six males and the six females was 61.8    11.5 years. All @entity1 exhibited typical imaging characteristics, consisting of threadlike calcifications and colonic wall thickening in the standard radiographs and calcifications along the colonic and mesenteric vessels or associated with colonic wall thickening and adjacent fat stranding in the computed tomography images. The median score of the severity of the @entity729 was 18    13, and the median number of @entity66 episodes was 1    1.75. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that the number of episodes of active @entity1960 disease significantly positively correlated with the severity of the @entity730 of the mesenteric veins (r = 0.619, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The extent of mesenteric venous @entity730 is strongly associated with the number of episodes of @entity66 among @entity1 with @entity1960 .
