Objective To investigate the value of CT spectral imaging in differential diagnosis of atypical pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenoma.Methods The energy spectrum CT data of 13 cases of atypical pheochromocytoma and 15 cases of adrenal cortical adenoma confirmed by surgery pathology were retrospectively analyzed.All images processed by spectrum software.The CT value of different energy levels (40-140 keV) in arterial,venous and delayed phase,energy spectrum curve and spectrum curve type,base material of concentration (water-iodine,grease-iodine,blood-iodine) were obtained,and the CT value of different energy were standardize in the same period.Data were compared with samples t test.Results For arterial phase,the standardization CT values of pheochromocytoma on monochromatic images of 40 keV,70 keV to 140 keV had statistical difference with those of adenoma (all P＜0.05).For venous phase,the standardization CT values of pheochromocytoma on monochromatic images of 70 keV to 140 keV had statistical difference with those of adenoma (all P＜0.05).For delayed phase,the standardization CT values of the two tumors on monochromatic image of 40 keV to 140 keV had significant difference (all P＜0.05).Both the energy spectrum of the three periods of type curve was falling,pheochromocytoma always located above compared with adenoma.The standardization concentration of base materials including water (iodine),fat (iodine) and blood (iodine) of pheochromocytoma were higher than those of adenoma in three phases (all P＜0.001).The standardization concentration of base materials including iodine (water),iodine (fat) and iodine (blood) had no significant difference in three phases between pheochromocytoma and adenoma (all P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Atypical pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenoma have different spectral curve and spectrum characteristics of the material content.Spectral CT imaging provides a method of multiple parameters to identify atypical adrenal pheochromocytoma and adenoma.

Objective To explore the changes of cognition and sleep status in the youngsters with internet addiction disorder (IAD), and to clarify the relation between cognition and sleep-related indicators of IAD youngsters.Methods Event related potential (ERP) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)test were used for forty-two IAD (case group)and forty non-IAD (control group) in youngsters, and the indexes of period latency (PL)of N1 ,P2 ,N2 ,P3 and amplitude of P3 (P3 amp)of ERP were analyzed,the factor scores of sleep quality (SQ), sleep latency (SL), sleep time (ST), sleep efficiency (SE), sleep dysfunction (SD), sleeping pills (SP), daytime dysfunction (DD)and total score of PSQI were analyzed. The correlation between the P3 PL, P3 amp of ERP and all the indexes of PSQI in case group was analyzed.Results The PL of N2 ,P3 of ERP in case group was significanly longer and the P3 amp was significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01);the factor scores of the SQ,SL,ST,SE,SD,DD,and the total score of PSQI test had significant differences between two groups (P<0.01).The correlation analysis results showed that there were remarkable positive correlations between the P3 PL and the factor seores of the SQ,SL,ST,SE,SD,DD and the total score of PSQI test in case group (r=0.46,0.34,0.51,0.40,0.48,and 0.54;P<0.01),and there were remarkable negative correlations betweeb P3 amp and the indexes of PSQI test in case group (r=-0.42,-0.45,-0.49,-0.38,-0.38,and -0.50;P<0.01).Conclusion The IAD youngsters have cognition and sleep dysfunction,and the both factors can affect each other.

Objective To explore the effect of relaxation treatment (RT) on the sleep quality of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods Ninety-two GAD patients were recruited and evenly divided into a study group (n =46) and a control group.The control group was treated with conventional medications,while the study group received RT in addition.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and polysomnography (PSG) were used to test for changes in sleep before and after treatment.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups before treatment in terms of average PSQI scores or PSG results.After treatment,both groups scored significantly better on the PSQI than before the treatment.PSG showed that after treatment there was less awakening,greater sleep efficiency and longer total sleep time.There was shorter sleep latency and rapid eye movement sleep latency,shorter duration of shallow sleep,and longer duration of deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep in the study group,as well as fewer awakenings,greater sleep efficiency and longer total sleep time.The PSQI and PSG results of the two groups after treatment were significantly different.Conclusions RT can significantly improve sleep disorders in GAD patients.

Purpose To explore the value of hydroxyapatite (HAP) in the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) based on the quantitative material decomposition images of spectral CT on healthy adult females.Materials and Methods A total of 128 healthy females who underwent upper abdominal CT examination with spectral CT at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from September 2013 to February 2016 were enrolled as the research group.Those patients with trauma,surgery,tumor or other diseases affecting BMD were excluded.The patients (ages ranged from 18 to 87 years) were divided into 6 groups according to their ages:＜30 years (n=23),30-39 years (n=20),40-49 years (n=22),50-59 years (n=24),60-69 years (n=19) and ≥ 70 years (n=20).The HAP and calcium concentration at central part of L2 centrum of spongy bone were measured.Meanwhile,119 healthy females who underwent dual energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) examination were selected as the controls and also divided into groups according to the same criteria as the research group.The BMD of the controls was also measured at L2 centrum and showed as areal density (g/cm2).The measurements of the research group were analyzed.The correlation analysis was done between hydroxyapatite,calcium concentration and age.The correlations between hydroxyapatite,calcium concentration and BMD obtained by DEXA were also analyzed.Results There were significant differences in the HAP and calcium concentration among different age groups (P＜0.05).The results of spectral CT and the DEXA showed correlations.Both HAP and calcium concentration showed positive relationship with BMD obtained by DEXA (r=0.874 and 0.796,respectively,both P＜0.05).The HAP and calcium concentration showed positive relationship with age in the groups (ages ranged from 18-39 years) (r=0.538 and 0.416,P＜0.05) and negative relationship with age in the groups (ages over 40 years) (r=-0.629 and-0.562,P＜0.05).Conclusion Material decomposition images of spectral CT can reflect bone changes,and HAP is a new base material for BMD measurement.
