BACKGROUND:The patients with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns who do examination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can cause artifacts. In recent years, researching for MRI artifacts of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials has been some progress, but there are less quantitatively reports on the MRI artifacts of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the artifact sizes shown on fast spin-echo T 2-weighted sequence caused by different kinds of porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
METHODS:Forty-eight lower right first molar crown patients who had MRI examination in MRI room were enrol ed. The patients were divided into nickel-chromium al oy group, cobalt-chromium al oy group and titanium crown group. Al patients were examined with fast spin-echo T 2-weighted sequences by means of 1.5 T MRI apparatus. MRI artifacts areas of same sequence on the MRI images of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials were analyzed with variance test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Forty-five cases appearing to have high signal samples with clearly curved boundary zone that can be measured were selected, 15 cases for each material. Different artifact sizes were produced on the same sequence of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials, which were (321.67±33.29) mm in the nickel-chromium al oy group, (263.53±34.95) mm2 in the cobalt-chromium al oy group, and (143.67±31.13) mm2 in the titanium crown group. There were significant differences between groups (P<0.05). The artifact size is smal est for the titanium crown and largest for the nickel-chromium al oy crown.

Objective: To estimate the blood concentration of isoflurane with the inspired andexpired concentrations during laparoscopic surgery. Methods: 2 sections were divided in this experiment: section 1:23 adult patients (ASA I~II)were received abdominal surgeries,of whom,12 patients for non-laparoscopic surgeries and the others for laparoscopic surgeries. Central venous blood samples were collected for gas chromatography determination 20, 40, 60, 80 min after inhalating isoflurane . We could receive two different F value (the fraction of uptake of isoflurane)through the formula. Section 2: 27 patients were recruited for abdominal surgeries, 13 for laparoscopic surgeries and the others for non-laparoscopic surgeries. All of the processes were the same as the former. Then we confirm the results obtained from section1. Results: The F was 0.52 in the laparoscopic surgeries and 0.44 in the nonlaparoscopic surgeries. In the laparoscopic surgeries, the bias (MDPE) was 17% , accuracy (MDAPE)was 22.88% and the wobble was 11.7% .The correlation coefficient (r)was 0.83. In the nonlaparoscopic surgeries, the MDPE was 5.37% , the MDAPE was 16.02% , the wobble was 15.86% .The correlation coefficient was 0.90. Conclusion: The formula could be used in abdominal surgeries to evaluate the concentration of isoflurane according to the clinical standard of MDPE

Objective:To evaluate the quality, content and feasibility of health information on breast cancer treatment in Chinese websites, for reference in standardizing online health information.Methods:In January 2022, three Chinese search engines, namely Baidu, Sogou and Haosou, were used to search with " breast cancer" and " breast cancer treatment" as keywords. The first 50 links identified by each engine were accessed to screen breast cancer treatment health information websites. Subsequently, the DISCERN scoring tool was adopted to evaluate the quality of health information on the websites(16 items). The information content(10 items)assessment was conducted by referring to the " Guidelines and Specifications for Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association(2019 Edition)". The feasibility of website health information was evaluated with Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool(PEMAT).Results:A total of 19 websites were included, and their service mode was mainly active information service(14 websites). The overall scoring for the quality of health information about breast cancer treatment was 2.0, with the highest score of " clarity of purpose" (3.4). According to the assessment results of information content, these websites were divided into 4 grades: excellent(3), good(11), fair(3), and poor(2). All the websites contained the information on clinical manifestations, etiology, examination and treatment of breast cancer. The overall feasibility of website health information was 44.5%, indicating incomplete feasibility.Conclusions:The Chinese website′s health information on breast cancer treatment is poor in quality and implementation. Hence, it′s urgent to further improve and standardize online health information, establishing a unified evaluation standard and actively exploring the new mode of " Internet+ Medical" service.
