Objective To determine the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) for primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) and metastatic lymph nodes,and to establish the diagnostic thresh-old of apparent diffusion coefficients(ADCs). Methods Conventional MR scans and DWI scans were con-tinuously performed in 56 patients with newly diagnosed NPC and 55 healthy volunteers. All patients re-ceived primary tumor biopsy and MR image-guided cervical lymph node fine-needle biopsy. ADC and eADC values of both primary lesions and lymph nodes were calculated and compared. Results According to the pathological diagnosis,all the 56 patients had non-keratinizing carcinoma and 51 had lymph node metastasis. In the control group,75 cervical lymph nodes were found. ADC values of both primary NPC and metastatic lymph nodes were significantly lower, while eADC values were higher than those of normal controls. Setting the ADC value threshold at 0.809 ×10-3 mm2/s, the sensitivity and specificity for primary NPC detection were 80.4% and 74.5%, respectively. The negative and positive predictive values were 79.2% and 77.6% ,respectively. The accuracy was 78.4%. Setting the ADC value threshold at 0. 708×10-3 mm2/s, the sensitivity and specificity in the detection of metastatic cervical lymph nodes were 43.1% and 93.3%, respectively. The negative and positive predictive values were 70.7% and 81.5% ,respectively. The accura-cy was 73.0%. Conclusions DWI might be a new diagnostic approach in the detection of primary NPC as well as metastatic lymph nodes.

This study was aimed to discuss the antibacterial and immunomodulation effect ofRe-Du-Ning (RDN) injection. Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group,Shuang-Huang-Lian (SHL) group (7.8 mL·kg-1), RDN high dose group (20.30 g·kg-1), middle dose group (10.15 g·kg-1), and low dose group (5.08 g·kg-1), in order to observe the death protective effect of mice with bacterial infection on antibacterial experimentin vivo. Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group,Xiang-Gu Duo-Tang (XGDT) group (0.19 mg·kg-1), RDN high dose group (20.30 g·kg-1), middle dose group (10.15 g·kg-1), and low dose group (5.08 g·kg-1). The 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene was used to induce delayed hypersensitivity. Immunomodulation was observed by the content of serum hemolysin and the carbon particle clearance index. The results showed that the RDN high dose group and middle dose group had antibacterial effect, which reduced the mortality of mice. The RDN high dose, middle dose and low dose group can enhance the phagocytosis of macrophage in immunosuppressive mice, increase the formation of hemolysin, and strengthen delayed hypersensitivity reaction among immunocompromised mice. It was concluded that RDN injection had antibacterial effect. Its immunomodulation effect was through the enhancing of non-specific immunity, humoral immunity and cellular immunity of mice.

Objective To explore the clinical value of the dual-low-dose with low tube voltage for head and neck CTA. Methods One hundred and sixty patients who were clinically suspected head and neck vascular disease underwent CTA procedure were propective selected, and whose body mass index (BMI) was also lower than 25 kg/m2. Forty cases were randomly selected as conventional group(120 kV,150 mAs, iodine 320 mg/ml), the other 120 cases were as the low dose group. The low dose group divided into three subgroups according to the random number table method, which were low iodine group (37 cases;120 kV,150 mAs, iodine 270 mg/ml), low tube voltage group (42 cases;100 kV,150 mAs, iodine 320 mg/ml) and low iodine and tube voltage group (41 cases;100 kV,150 mAs, iodine 270 mg/ml). The carotid bifurcated CT value, standard deviation (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), iodine intake and effective radiation dose (ED) of the four groups were recorded,all data undertook statistical analysis useing one-way ANOVA. Meanwhile, the subjective image quality score was applied to evaluate the image quality, and the differences among groups were compared by Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Results The image quality score were (2.85±0.19),(2.33 ± 0.34),(2.26 ± 0.32),(2.87 ± 0.22) in the four groups, and there was no statistical difference between groups(P>0.05).The carotid bifurcated CT value were respectively (380±30),(314±27),(514±52) and (425±28) HU in conventional, low iodine, low tube voltage and dual-low-dose groups, and the iodine intake were (18.85±2.10), (15.75±1.78), (18.53±1.98), (15.62±1.92) g, the ED of the four groups were (1.74±0.14), (1.73± 0.11), (1.32 ± 0.08) and (1.35 ± 0.09) mSv, the difference were all statistically significant (P<0.01). Furthermore, the iodine intake and the effective radiation dose in dual-low-dose group were significantly lower than the conventational group. Conclusions Head-and-neck CTA with dual-low-dose scan can provide same quality images as using 100 kV and high dose iodine contrast agent, and which also significantly reduced the ED and iodine intake greatly. Thus, this scanning program has great clinical value.
