Objective: To summarize the different cardiac shunt presentation in right heart contrast echocardiography and to clarify its clinical value for diagnosing the patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients who received right heart contrast echocardiography in our hospital from 2006 to 2014. The contrast media was the hand-vibrated mixture of 9 ml 50% glucose solution with 1 ml air.
Results: There were 49/102 patients with abnormal blood shunt detected including 8 patients of atrial septal defect (ASD) with right to left or dual shunt, 7 of ASD with left to right shunt, 9 of patent foramen ovale (PFO) with functional right to left shunt, 13 of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) combining pulmonary arterial hypertension, 3 of pulmonary arteriovenous ifstula (PAVF), 9 patients with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and 8 of them drain to coronary vein sinus, 1 drain to left atrium.
Conclusion: Right heart contrast echocardiography may simply and effectively detect abnormal blood shunt in patients combining pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve the diagnostic accuracy of CHD.

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic significance of non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (NCE-MRA) for lower extremity arterial stenosis on a 3.0T MR scanner, in order to provide a reliable method for clinical application. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with arterial disease in lower extremity underwent NCE-MRA before contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA). Image quality of the two methods was compared. The diagnostic accuracy for significant stenosis ( ≥50%) of NCE-MRA was assessed using CE-MRA as a golden standard. The consistency of the two methods in diagnosis of significant stenosis ( ≥ 50%) was analyzed. Results All patients successfully underwent both NCE-MRA and CE-MRA examination. There were 532 arterial segments detected by NCE-MRA. In the calf region, venous artifacts presented more frequently on CE-MRA (Z=4.92, P<0.01), while in the abdominal and the femoral regions, venous artifacts presented more frequently on NCE-MRA (Z=4.58 and 3.56, P<0.01). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of NCE-MRA for the diagnosis of significant stenosis ( ≥ 50%) were 97.89%, 97.69%, 97.74%, 93.92% and 99.22%, respectively. There was good agreement (Kappa=0.94, P<0.05) between the two methods. Conclusion For the imaging of lower extremity arterial stenosis, NCE-MRA shows similar image quality and diagnostic accuracy with CE-MRA, thus can be used as an alternative method for lower extremity arterial stenosis in patients who have renal insufficiency or other contraindication of contrast media.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) for human brucellosis.Methods From April 2013 to August 2014,240 positive sera of brucella patients were collected as case group and 287 normal sera as control group in Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Bureau General Hospital.Four milliliters of venous blood were withdrawn for separation of serum.Fluorescence polarization assay was used and the consistency,sensitivity and specificity were compared with those of four classical serological methods,including rose bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT),standard tube agglutination test (SAT),Coomb's test and cysteine test.Results The results of FPA were complied with those of the four conventional serological methods,Kappa ≥ 0.75.The sensitivity of FPA (89.17％) was higher than that of RBPT (87.08％),SAT (85.00％),Coomb's (74.17％) and cysteine test (75.83％).The specificity of FPA (94.08％) was higher than that of RBPT (89.90％) and Coomb's (81.53％),but lower than that of SAT (98.95％) and cysteine test (99.30％).Conclusion FPA can be used as a laboratory diagnostic method for human brucellosis,which is worthy to be widely used.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect and safety of rock salt aerosol therapy in the treatment of occupational allergic contact dermatitis. Methods: A total of 65 patients with acute exacerbation of occupational allergic contact dermatitis who were treated in the Outpatient Service and Inpatient Department of our hospital from March 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled and randomly divided into observation group and control group using a random number table. Both groups were givensymptomatic treatment including desensitization, and the patients in the observation group were given rock salt aerosol therapy for 2 courses in addition to the symptomatic treatment. The changes in symptoms, signs, blood eosinophil count, and IgE were observed. Results: There were significant changes in symptom score at the first and second courses of the treatment (P<0.05) , and there was an interaction between time of therapy and grouping (P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in symptom score before treatment between the two groups (P>0.05) , while there were differences at the first and second courses of the treatment (P<0.05) . After the second course of treatment, the observation group had a significantly higher overall response rate than the control group (P<0.05) ; both groups had significant reductions in blood eosinophil count and the observation group had a significantly greater reduction than the control group (P<0.05) . After two courses of treatment, both groups had significant increases in the number of patients with normal IgE (both P<0.05) , and after the second course of treatment, the observation group had a significantly higher number than the control group (P<0.05) . Both groups had mild adverse events, which did not affect the treatment. Conclusion In the treatment of occupational allergic contact dermatitis, rock salt aerosol therapy has a certain effect on the recovery of symptoms, signs, blood eosinophil count, and IgE.

With the wide application of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, many cataract patients have effectively recovered vision. Postoperative intraocular lens opacification is an important indicator for evaluating biocompatibility, as it affects the visual quality of patients. The manifestation and risk factors of opacification vary among different materials used for intraocular lenses. However, better visual quality after surgery is not determined by a single factor. The material of the intraocular lens and the patient's response to the intraocular lens are all factors that affect the postoperative visual quality. With the continuous advancement of technology, an increasing number of new materials are being applied in the field of intraocular lenses. Fully understanding the characteristics of intraocular lens materials, selecting suitable intraocular lens for patients and reducing complications caused by materials will be beneficial to patients. The characteristics of different intraocular lens materials and the risk factors of opacification after intraocular lens implantation were discussed in this paper.

Objective:To explore the best treatment for local ablation of colon cancer liver metastases (CRLM) by meta-analysis.Methods:The electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI and the Cochrane Library were searched from the establishment to August 22, 2022, and studies that report outcomes with comparison between microwave ablation (WMA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in CRLM treatment were selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Furthermore, the perioperative and survival data were statistically summarized and analyzed by Review Manager 5.3 software.Results:A total of 5 retrospective studies were included with a total sample size of 648 cases, including 316 cases (48.8%) in the WMA group and 332 cases (51.2%) in the RFA group. The results of meta-analysis showed that locoregional recurrence rate in WMA group was significantly lower than that in RFA group. The 1-year and 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) of the WMA group was significantly better than that of the RFA group with HR of 1.77 ( P=0.04, 95% CI: 1.04-3.02) and 1.60 ( P=0.02, 95% CI: 1.09-2.35), respectively. Conclusion:The local control rate and 1-year and 2-year DFS of WMA were superior to RFA.
