Objective To explore the diagnostic value of CT hypotonic colonography in carcinoma of colon.Methods A total of 55 cases who were diagnosed as ileus,abdomen mass or suspected colonic carcinoma clinically were undergone CT hypotonic clolonography in six years recently,in our hospital.Of them,CT data of 35 cases identified by pathology were analysed retrospectively.Results CT diagnosis was corresponded to the pathologic results in 34 cases .Of them,33 cases were colonic adenocarcinoma(1 case with intussusception of ileum-colon type),one case was abdominal multiple metastatic adenocarcinoma.One case with cecal inflammation and granulation tissues hyperplasia was misdiagnosed for colonic carcinoma by CT.21 of 35 cases were undergone colongraphy,of them,15 cases were diagnosed as colonic carcinoma,1 case was normal,colonographic failure occurred in one case and 4 cases were false negative.Conclusion Hypotonic water perfusion CT scan in the cases permitted under clinical condition(patient with ileus should be perfused with 3% meglumine diatrizoate) can display clearly the primary focus,the position and range of ileus,surrounding organ.It is more excellent than conventional CT and X-ray examination.

Bone marrow suppression is one of the common adverse reactions to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Anticancer treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy first directly damage the patient′s peripheral blood cells, impairing qi and blood; further, they damage the actively proliferating cell populations in the bone marrow, impairing yin and blood; and then they interfere with hematopoietic stem cells, impairing essence and blood. This process is rapid and intense, consistent with the characteristics of " acute deficiency syndrome" , marked by sudden onset, rapid changes, critical condition, complexity and variability, multiple complications, and poor prognosis. Given this, its diagnosis and treatment should differ from those of general deficiency syndromes. This paper advocates the principles and ideas of diagnosis and treatment such as " preventing first and treating early to prevent changes; supplementing for deficiency and strengthening vital qi to eliminate pathogenic factor; urgent rescue for critical conditions, no time to lose; and comprehensive supplementing throughout the process, with severe cases requiring singular action" . This approach is intended to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for bone marrow suppression after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
