Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and differential value of triphasic, especially the arterial phase, contrast enhanced CT scans for the hepatocellular adenoma, and to improve CT diagnostic accuracy. Methods Spiral CT scanning of pre and post contrast arterial phase, portal venous phase and delayed phase was performed in 5 patients with hepatocellular adenomas proved surgically and pathologically. The enhancement was administrated with venous injection of 3 ml/sec, totally 100 ml angiografin. Arterial phase of contrast enhanced scanning started 20~30 sec, portal venous phase 60~70 sec and delay scanning 3 min after the injection of contrast medium. The degrees of the enhancement of adnoma and normal tissues of liver in the three contrast enhanced phases were calculated and compared statistically. Results In plain CT, the lesions were iso density in 4 cases and slight hypodensity in 1 case, which was hardly distinguished from the normal tissue. In all 5 cases, the lesions showed marked enhancement in the arterial phase compared with normal tissue of liver (38 HU high), and there were markedly statistical difference ( t =18 94, P 0.05). The mean CT value of hepatocellular adenoma in the arterial phase was much higher than that in portal venous and delay phase, there were statistical differences between them ( F =18.39, P

Objective To explore the mechanisms of posterior pilon fractures and evaluate the curative effects of different types of fixation on the treatment of posterior pilon fractures.Methods We included in this retrospective study 20 patients with posterior pilon fracture who had been treated from January 2012 to January 2015 at our department.They were 10 men and 10 women,from 23 to 77 years of age (average,50.6 years).According to the classification by Yu Guangrong,5 cases belonged to type Ⅰ,3 to type Ⅱa,4 to type Ⅱb,and 7 to type Ⅲ.One was not indentified because of lacking CT examination.The mechanisms included ground level fall in 2 cases,motor vehicle accident in 7,fall off stairs in 5,sport injury in 2,fall from a bike in one and fall from a height in 3.More than 25% of the articular surface was involved in 13 patients.Syndesmosis injury was identified in 6 patients by Cotton test during operation.Internal fixation varied accordingly.We recorded the mechanism,classification,proportion of the articular surface involved (more or less than 25%),and syndesmosis injury to figure out the characteristics of posterior pilon fractures.We used the Burwell-Charnley radiographic criteria to assess the postoperative reduction of the articular surface,and the Olerud-Molander scoring scale and visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess the ankle function.The curative effects of different types of fixation on the treatment of posterior pilon fractures were compared.Results Of the 20 patients,17 were available for follow-up for 6 to 36 months (average,17.8 months).Two patients received reoperation because of implant failure after cannulated screw fixation from anterior to posterior.The Burwell-Charnley radiographic evaluation revealed 12 anatoinical reducations and 8 fair reductions.The mean Olerud-Molander score for the 17 patients at the final follow-ups was 81.5 (range,from 35 to 100) and the mean walking VAS was 1 (from 0 to 3).Conclusions Posterior pilon fractures are mostly caused by medium to high energy violence,resulting from a combination of rotational and vertical forces.Since there is a high risk of implant failure,the cannulated screw fixation from anterior to posterior is not recommended.Good clinical outcomes are observed in the cannulated screw fixation from posterior to anterior and the plate/cannulated screw fixation for posterior pilon fractures.

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway has been the hot spot in the signaling pathway studies which are related to ovary carcinogenesis in recent years,whose activation may induce the multiplication and self-renewal,survival and metastasis of ovarian cancer stem cells.The target gene mutations of key members in the canonical Wnt pathway and abnormal expresses of negative regulation molecules are closely associated with the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.Deeply investigating the regulative mechanisms of canonical Wnt signaling pathway in ovarian cancer,and taking this as the therapeutic target to conduct the basic research and preclinical experiment may provide theoretical basis for treating better ovarian cancer patients in clinical practice.
