Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;28(6):647-650
Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of 64-slice spiral computer tomography pulmonary angiography (CTP), in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: Sixty-two patients suspected of PE were examined by 64-slice spiral CTPA. The image findings combined with their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Twenty-four of the 62 patients were confirmed to have PE by clinical data, laboratory examination and follow-up examination. 64-slice spiral CTPA discovered 152 involved branches in the 24 PE patients, including 4 branches in left and right pulmonary trunk, 52 in lobar pulmonary arteries, 82 in segmental pulmonary arteries, and 14 in subsegmental arteries. Four types of PE were detected in our group, including eccentric filling defect in 58 branches, central filling defect in 49 branches, total occlusion of the pulmonary arteries in 21 branches, and mural embolism of host artery in 24 branches. The diagnosis accuracy of 64-slice spiral CTPA in the present group of patients was 100%, with no missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Besides, 64-slice spiral CTPA could reflect the location, morphology, involvement and degrees of PE. Conclusion: 64-slice spiral CTPA is a rapid, accurate and non-invasive diagnostic approach for PE. It is the first choice in clinical screening of PE and may serve as a gold standard for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.

OBJECTIVETo explore the possible relationship between recurrent aphthous ulcer (RAU) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-509T/C and interleukin-10 (IL-10)-1082A/G sites.
METHODSA total of 138 RAU patients were recruited for this study. The control group consisted of 124 subjects. TGF-β1-509T/C and IL-10-1082A/G sites were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) and sequence specific primer-polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR). Relative risk ratios were estimated by odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI).
RESULTSSignificant differences were found in the genotype frequencies or allele frequencies of TGF-β1-509T/C and IL-10-1082A/G sites between the RAU patients and controls (P < 0.05). CT genotype (OR = 1.231, 95% CI = 0.702-2.160), TT genotype (OR = 2.482, 95% CI = 1.250-4.927), and T allele (OR = 1.465, 95% CI = 1.036-2.074) at the TGF-β1-509 site exhibited high risks. AG genotype (OR = 1.391, 95% CI = 0.808-2.396), GG genotype (OR = 4.165, 95% CI = 1.944-8.924), and G allele (OR = 2.134, 95% CI = 1.474-3.089) at the IL-10-1082A/G site also showed high risks.
CONCLUSIONTGF-β1-509T/C and IL-10-1082A/G sites are associated with the risk of RAU. The TGF-β1 gene-509T allele and IL-10 gene-1082G allele may serve as genetic determinants for RAU.

In this paper, an improved empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm for phonocardiogram (PCG) signal de-noising is proposed. Based on PCG signal processing theory, the S1/S2 components can be extracted by combining the improved EMD-Wavelet algorithm and Shannon energy envelope algorithm. Firstly, by applying EMD-Wavelet algorithm for pre-processing, the PCG signal was well filtered. Then, the filtered PCG signal was saved and applied in the following processing steps. Secondly, time domain features, frequency domain features and energy envelope of the each intrinsic mode function's (IMF) were computed. Based on the time frequency domain features of PCG's IMF components which were extracted from the EMD algorithm and energy envelope of the PCG, the S1/S2 components were pinpointed accurately. Meanwhile, a detecting fixed method, which was based on the time domain processing, was proposed to amend the detection results. Finally, to test the performance of the algorithm proposed in this paper, a series of experiments was contrived. The experiments with thirty samples were tested for validating the effectiveness of the new method. Results of test experiments revealed that the accuracy for recognizing S1/S2 components was as high as 99.75%. Comparing the results of the method proposed in this paper with those of traditional algorithm, the detection accuracy was increased by 5.56%. The detection results showed that the algorithm described in this paper was effective and accurate. The work described in this paper will be utilized in the further studying on identity recognition.
