Objective To study testicular microlithiasis(TM)on scrotal ultrasound findings in re-lation to the incidence of varicocele in males with scrotal symptoms.Methods Ultrasound finding of 8351 cases aged 40 days to 88 years with scrotal symptoms were reviewed.Results TM was found in 170 pa-tients(2.04%)and varicocele Was found in 1449 patients(17.35%)of symptomatic individuals.Varicocele Was found in TM and non-TM were 15.88%(27/170)and 17.38%(1422/8181)respectively,statistical anal-ysis revealed that there was no close relationship between TM and varicocele(x2=0.26,P>0.05)in symp-tomatic population. Conclusion TM is a comnlofl disease and has no direct correlation with varicocele.

Objective To determine the accuracy of renal blood flow assessment by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum.Methods The left renal arterial diameter (RAD) and the Doppler velocity time integral (VTI) were measured by TEE before peumoperitoneum (T0, baseline), at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min of pneumoperitoneum and 1 and 5 min after deflation in 35 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The left renal blood flow (LRBF) and the left renal blood perfusion resistance (LRPR) were calculated according to the following formulae: LRBF = 1/4π x RAD2 x VTI x HR, LRPR = MAP/LRBF.Three months later, the TEE images of 10 cases were randomly selected and reviewed by the same and another research team member to check the repeatability and consistency of the LRBF determination during operation, respectively. The quality of the TEE images was evaluated by another specialist.Results Before pneumoperitoneum, 94% of the TEE images were rated as satisfactory. There was no significant difference between the qualities of the TEE images obtained before and during pneumoperitoneum. The variabilities between the RADs measured by TEE during and 3 months after operation were 9.28% by the same team member and 8.71% by another team member. The variabilities between the VTIs measured by TEE during and 3 months after operation were 5.61% by the same team member and 6.25% by another team member. The linear regression analysis of the LRBF showed that the slope and the intercept were 1.05 and 31.4 ml/min respectively by the same member and 0.92 and 47.3 ml/min respectively by another member. The LRBF was decreased during pneumoperitoneum and the LRPR was increased.Conclusion TEE can be used to accurately monitor the changes in renal blood flow during CO2 pneumoperitoneum.

Objective To study the preoperative self-efficacy of patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH) and its influential factors. Methods Seventy-six patients with LDH underwent operation from June 2008 to March 2009 were enrolled in the current study. The patients were investigated with GSES,SAS,SDS and self-made general characteristics before operation. The data were analyzed with SPSS 11.5. Results The score of preoperative self-efficacy was 25. 84 ±6. 76. The course of disease, education level, patients' hobbits could affect self-efficacy (F = 15. 371,P<0.01;F = 18.078,P<0.01;t =2. 368,P<0. 05). Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with the course of disease (r = - 0.541, P < 0. 01). And preoperative self-efficacy correlated with education level and hobbits(r = 0. 589, P < 0. 01; r = 0. 226, P < 0.05) . The score of preoperative dysphoria and depression was significantly higher than norm (P < 0. 01) . Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with dysphoria and depression (r = -0. 494, P < 0.01; r = - 0. 443, P < 0. 01). Conclusions The score of preoperative self-efficacy with LDH is low; the score of preoperative dysphoria and depression is high. Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with the course of disease. And preoperative self-efficacy correlated with education level and hobbits; Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with preoperative dysphoria and depression.

Objective To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in histological grading and staging of follicular lymphoma (FL) and prediction of prognosis after first-line treatment.Methods From May 2007 to April 2013,24 patients (11 males,13 females; median age 55 years) with histopathological proof of FL were retrospectively studied.All patients were evaluated by 18F-FDG PET/CT before the first-line treatment and were divided into indolent FL and aggressive FL according to their histological grades and clinical stages.The sensitivity,specificity and SUVmax were calculated.Analysis of variance of factorial design was used to analyze the data.Within the same study period,18F-FDG PET/CT was also performed in 16 FL patients (9 males,7 females; median age 50.5 years) after first-line treatment (7/16 patients belonged to the aforementioned group with pretreatment PET/CT performed) ; and they were then divided into PET/CTpositive and PET/CT-negative groups.All 16 patients were followed for 6-49 months to evaluate the prognosis.The rates of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated.Results (1)The sensitivities of PET/CT in indolent and aggressive FL were 92.3％ (12/13) and 100％ (11/11),respectively.The SUVmax was 5.26± 1.70 vs 9.54±5.09 (F=5.196,P＜0.05).(2) According to PET/CT,3patients(12.5％,3/24) were upstaged from Ⅰ-Ⅱ to Ⅲ-Ⅳ,and 2 patients(8.3％,2/24) were downstaged from Ⅲ-Ⅳ to Ⅰ-Ⅱ.The SUVmax of stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ FL was 5.22±2.92 and 8.04±4.46(F=2.904,P＞0.05).(3)For the 16 FL patients with PET/CT after first-line treatment,the negative and positive groups had different OS and PFS.The 6-month OS,1-year OS and 3-year OS were 100％(13/13),9/9,4/5,respectively for the negative group,and 2/3,2/3,1/2,respectively for the positive group; while the corresponding 6-month PFS,1-year PFS and 3-year PFS were 92.3 ％ (12/13),8/9,3/5 and 2/3,0/3,0/2,respectively.Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT is valuable in the evaluation of histological grading and clinical staging of FL patients and in the prediction of prognosis after fist-line treatment.
