Objective To evaluate the value of CT in diagnosing primary small intestinal lymphoma. Methods CT features of 11 cases of primary small intestinal non Hodgkin′s lymphomas were retrospectively analyzed. Results The most frequent location of the diseases were at ileum (10/11). According to the main CT features from all 11 cases, it could be classified into two types: bowel wall thickening type ( n =7) and luminal polypoid mass type ( n =4). 5 of 7 cases in the first type showed aneurysmal sign, while 3 of 4 cases in the second type were combined with intussusception. 7 cases from the two types were found to have mesenteric lymph nodes enlargement, among them 1 case showed “sandwich” sign, 4 showed long range or multicentric intestinal lesions. The tumor detection rate was 81.8%, and the correct diagnosis rate was 63.6% by CT. Conclusion Bowel wall thickening and luminal polypoid mass were two different types of CT features in the primary small intestinal lymphoma, and polymorphic lesions accompanied by multifocal mesenteric lymph nodes enlargement, aneurysmal sign, “sandwich” sign, long range or multicentric intestine lesions were the main characteristic CT features, which may lead to the correct diagnosis by CT.

Objective To compare the difference of entrance dose between CR and amorphous silocon DR system in chest imaging, and to discuss their optimum exposure dose. Methods For CR and DR, different entrance dose was measured by dosimeter in chest phantom. The value of IQFinv was analyzed by CDRAD2. 0 software. Image quality difference between CR and DR was assessed by group t-test. The relationship between image quality and entrance dose was tested by using Pearson correlation analysis. The best IQFinv values in CR and DR system were achieved via ROC curve analysis, and the exposure dose was then calculated. Results There were direct correlation values between entrance dose and the value of IQFinv in CR and DR system, respectively( r =0. 893 ,0. 848 ,P < 0. 01 ) . The linear regression equation for DR was IQFinv =0. 0050 +3. 359, and for CR was IQFinv =0. 005D + I. 651 , where D was entrance dose. The difference of IQFinv value between CR and DR was significant(t = 5. 455 ,P < 0. 05). The best IQFinv value of the two groups from ROC analysis was 3.55. Conclusions With the entrance dose increased, the detection ability of contrast-detail was elevated in the two digital radiography systems. With equal entrance dose, the detection ability of DR in contrast-detail was superior to CR. With equal image quality, DR obviously decreased the radiation dose to the patients.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of insulin glargine combined with novonorm in treatment of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Methods 112 cases of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients were randomly separated into observation group(56 cases)and control group(56 cases). Observation group was treated with insulin glargine combined with novonorm. Control group was treated with novolin30R. The levels of FPG,2hPG and HbA1c before and after treatment,the control time of blood sugar,amounts of insulin and incidence of low blood sugar were observed in both groups. Results Compared with pre-treatment, FPG,2hPG and HbA1 c were significantly decreased (all P <0.05) after treatment, but there were no significant differences in both two groups (P >0. 05). The control time of blood sugar, amounts of insulin and incidence of low blood sugar in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Insulin glargine combined with novonorm in treatment of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes could effectively control blood sugar,shorten the control time of blood sugar,decrease amounts of insulin,and low incidence of low blood sugar.

Objective:
To explore the effects of different concentrations of glucose solution on the survival of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens larvae, the attraction to mosquitoes and egg-laying behaviors, so as to provide the reference for developing mosquito control technology based on sugar bait.
Methods:
White porcelain bowls were filled with 100 mL of 3%, 5%, 8%, 10% and 15% glucose solutions. Ten of fourth instar larvae of Aedes albopictus or Culex pipiens pallens were added to each bowl, and the survival of larvae was recorded after 2, 4, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Egg-laying cups containing 5%, 8% and 15% glucose solution were put in mosquito cages containing fully blooded female mosquitoes of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens (50 mosquitoes each), and the total number of eggs laid in 72 hours was observed. The analogous site room was filled with fully blooded and starved female mosquitoes of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens (100 mosquitoes each), and simple mosquito control buckets containing 5% and 8% glucose solution and black sticky insect plates. The number of mosquitoes and eggs was observed after 6 days. All the above experiments were repeated 3 times using dechlorinated water as the control.
Results:
The 72 hour corrected mortality rates of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens larvae gradually increased with the increase of glucose concentration. The glucose solution with 5% and higher concentrations was not suitable for mosquito larvae to survive. The attraction of egg-laying behaviors to Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens gradually decreased with the increase of glucose concentration. The effects were similar between 5% and 8% glucose solution, with the averages of 686.67 and 682.33 eggs for Aedes albopictus, and 3.00 and 2.33 egg rafts for Culex pipiens pallens. In analogous site room, there were 93.33, 105.00 and 130.33 adult mosquitoes captured on average in the control group, 5% and 8% glucose solution groups, respectively, with 8% glucose solution group more attractive to adult mosquitoes than the control group (F=3.283, P=0.030); there were 70.33, 55.33 and 63.00 Aedes albopictus eggs (eggs counts+larvae counts) on average, respectively, with statistically significant differences among the three groups (H=6.761, P=0.034).
Conclusion
Glucose solution with concentration of 5% or higher can effectively inhibit the survival of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens larvae, and attractive to adult mosquitoes and egg-laying behavoirs.
