Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2010;26(4):683-685
Objective To assess the value of ultrasonic elastography in the diagnosis of special type breast cancers. Methods Routine ultrasonograms, color Doppler flow images and elasticity images of 13 patients with special type breast cancer confirmed surgical pathologically were retrospectively analyzed. Results The score of mucinous carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer (1 patient), lactation breast cancer, invasive micropapillary carcinoma, tubular carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma (2 patients) were 4-5. The score of 1 patient of invasive lobular carcinoma was 1 and 1 patient of lactation breast cancer was 3. The characteristics of color Doppler flow imaging of majority patients were varies, while no obvious lesion was observed in Paget's disease. Conclusion Ultrasonic elastography is helpful to the diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer, lactation breast cancer, invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast, papillary carcinoma and tubular carcinoma of the breast. Early diagnosis of Paget's disease still depends on pathology.

The Journal of Practical Medicine 2015;31(15):2553-2555
Objective To observe the clinical effect of maintenance chemotherapy by pemetrexed in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods 60 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (stage Ⅲb~ Ⅳ) were randomly divided into observation group and control group , all the patients showed complete or partial remission after receiving 4 cycles of induction chemotherapy. Observation group was given pemetrexed maintenance (500 mg/m2 on days 1 every 21 days) until first disease progression, control group was given best supportive care . Progression free survival ( PFS ) , overall survival ( OS ) and adverse reaction were observed . Results PFS and OS of observation group were significantly higher than control group, PFS was (7.3 ± 1.20) vs (3.5 ± 1.13) months, OS was (12.2 ± 1.14) vs (7.1 ± 1.23) months, the difference was statistically significant. The main side effects were fatigue and leucopenia which were tolerable. Conclusion Maintenance therapy with peme-trexed following initial therapy was feasible, and extended the PFS and OS, and shows a favorable toxicity profile.

Objective To study the effect of post-hospital nursing intervention on blood pressure and medication compliance of hypertensive patients.Methods One hundred hypertensive patients were divided into the observation group and the control group in equal number by the random digits table.Those in the control returned regularly for consultations and took medicine under doctor’s supervision and those in the observation group received out-of-hospital nursing intervention apart from the nursing done to the controls. The blood pressure and medicine-taking compliance were assessed in 6 months.Result The observation group was significantly better than the control one in terms of blood pressure and medicine-taking compliance(both P<0.05).Conclusion The post-hospital systematic nursing intervention may help to control the blood pressure of hypertensive patients and enhance their medicine-taking compliance so as to improve the curative effect.

Objective To investigate the precision, trueness, and accuracy of self-developed detection system in clinical chemistry.Methods This was a methodological evaluation.Take serum creatine kinase( CK) for instance, 6 serum sampleswith different leves ( on the upper or lower limit of the reference range or close to the medicine decide levels ( MDLs) , were collected for within-run precision( repeatability) and within-laboratory precision ( intermediate precision ) experiments.5 proficiency testing ( PT ) samples, 5 samples assigned value by reference method, and 40 fresh-frozen serums were measured and compared with reference method for trueness verification.Drawing method evaluation decision chart, calculating total errors and sigma level evaluation experiment based on the CV, bias, and allowed total errors(TEa)were used to evaluate the accuracy performance.The precision, trueness, and accuracy were compared with the quality indicators.Results The within-run precision and within-laboratory precision were less than the highest requirement of Chinese industrial standard.The mean bias was -8.96%, didn′t reachthe required standard (5.5%).After taking corrective actions, all samples but one ( -5.8%) met the required standard. Compared with the reference method, the mean bias on the MDLs was less than TEa.The performance points of the method evaluation decision chart indicated excellence performance.The total errors on MDLs were 14.2%, 10.4% and 7.6%, less than 15%.The sigma levels on MDLs were 5.9, 7.5 and 15, also achieved excellent level. Conclusions The precision, trueness, and accuracy performance of CK measured by self-developed detection system achieved excellent level of the Chinese industry standard, and the same results were found from different evaluation methods.

Objective The study aimed to compare the vector system with the hand instrument in the pain severity during scaling and root planning.Methods 60 periodontal patients were randomly divided into two groups for supportive periodontal therapy (SPT):the experimental group (using vector system) and the control group (using gracey instruments),with 30 cases in each group.And the painfulness after SPT was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Results 66% patients felt mild pain during the supportive periodontal therapy with the application of vector system,while 36% patients felt mild pain in the control group.24 patients in the experimental group accepted vector system for SPT and 23 patients in the experimental group felt less fear of the treatment.Conclusions Patients will feel less discomfort with the application of the vector system,therefore better compliance will be reached.And the cooperation of the doctors and nurses has great impact on the treatment effect.

Objective To realize the incidence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients after receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)procedure,and to evaluate the related factors for HAI.Methods Clinical data of patients receiving ECMO from January 2003 to December 2012 were collected and analyzed retro-spectively.Results Of 43 patients receiving ECMO,15 (34.88% )developed 24 times(55.81% )of HAI. The main HAI site was lower respiratory tract(n= 12,50.00% ),followed by blood stream(n= 6,25.00% ),skin and soft tis-sue(n= 5,20.83% ).A total of 28 isolates of pathogens were detected,gram-negative bacilli were 19(67.86% )iso-lates,gram-positive cocci 7(25.00% ),and fungi 2(7.14% );pathogens were mainly isolated from specimens of sputum(n= 12,42.86% ),blood (n= 9,32.14% )and wound secretion(n= 6,21 .43% ). The incidence of postopera-tive HAI in ECMO patients was related with patients’age,duration of ECMO,complication,mechanical ventila-tion,tracheal intubation or tracheotomy,and indwelling urinary catheter.Conclusion HAI in patients receiving EC-MO is high,hospital should take corresponding prevention and control measures targeting to the related risk factors of infection,so as to reduce the incidence of HAI after the ECMO.

Objective To investigate the effect of T lymphocyte proliferation,Th1 and Th2 cytokines on T cells from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)patients by blocking 4-1BB/4-1BBL.Methods The proliferation of T cells from 30 SLE patients and 20 normal controls was detected by MTT and the levels of patients stimulated with anti-CD3 McAb were significantly higher than those of T cells without stimulation(P<IFN-γand IL-4 in SLE were significantly higher than those of normal controls(P<0.01).There were more ex-pression of IFN-γ and IL-4 in supernatant of T cells from SLE after stimulated with anti-CD3 McAb(P<0.01).However,the production of IFN-γ and IL-4 was inhibited by anti-4-1BB McAb(P<O.05),and especially the level of IL-4 was markedly decreased.Conclusion Blocking 4-1BB/4-IBBL can significantlv inhibit the abnormal activation of T cells and the secretion of Thl and Th2 cytokines of SLE.
