70%). Based on the degree of coarctation, they are divided into two groups, one is mild grade (the circumference of isthmus is 0.5～0.8 cm, the ratio of ascending aorta and the aortic isthmus is 30%～ 45%), another is severe grade (the circumference is less than 0.5 cm, the ratio

Objective To explore the distribution of parvovirus B19 (HPVB19) infection in patients with leukopenia.Methods Patients who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from January 2015 to June 2016 were analyzed.Patients with peripheral leucocytes count less than 3.5×109/L were included in experiment group and healthy people were included in control group.HPVB19 IgG and IgM were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and HPVB19 DNA was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Differences in continuous data between two groups were compared with two-sample t test and those in categorical data were compared with Chi-square test.Results A total of 79 patients were included in experiment group, including 32 males and 47 females.Ages ranged from 24 to 62 years old.And 126 healthy individuals were included in control group, including 55 males and 71 females.Ages ranged from 28 to 67 years old.The positive rates of HPVB19 IgG, IgM and DNA in experiment group were 34.2%, 5.1% and 3.8%, respectively, while those in control group were 36.5%, 0 and 0, respectively.The detection rates of HPVB19 IgM and DNA between two groups were significantly different (χ2=6.507, P=0.011 and χ2=4.856, P=0.028, respectively).Sequence analysis for 3 of the HPVB19 DNA positive samples showed that there were two single nucleotide polymorphisms in VP1/VP2 sequence from one patient, which contributed to the 153rd (L/H) and 219th (N/Y) amino acids mutations, respectively.Phylogenetic analysis found that two strains belong to genotype 1a and one strain belongs to genotype 1b.Conclusions Detection rate of parvovirus HPVB19 infection (positive rates of HPVB19 IgM and DNA) in leukopenic patients is significantly higher than healthy controls.HPVB19 should be detected before considering transfusion in leukopenic patients in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the difference in the pass rate of intensity?modulated radiation therapy ( IMRT) planning in patients with different tumors and its value in determining pass rate thresholds. Methods A total of 35 verified IMRT plans for each of esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and lung cancer were selected consecutively, and a one?way analysis of variance was used to investigate the difference in pass rate. A single pass rate threshold was used to test all IMRT plans, and the pass rate thresholds of IMRT plans for different tumors were calculated based on normal distribution law. Results There was a significant difference in the means between the 5 groups of data ( F=35. 83, P<0. 01) , and there was also a significant difference between any two groups ( P=0. 000) . There were statistically significant differences between nasopharyngeal carcinoma group and other four groups ( P=0. 000) . The difference was not only significant between the breast cancer group and the esophageal cancer group ( P=0. 001) , but also between the breast cancer group and the lung cancer group ( P=0. 033) . The calculated results of each threshold were 93. 37%, 89. 34%, 97. 68%, 95. 99%, and 95. 42%, respectively. Conclusions Different thresholds should be used for IMRT plans for different tumors, and the normal distribution law can be used to calculate the threshold.

Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of transrectal gray scale contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in distinguishing benign from malignant nodes of prostate. Methods Thirty-three patients with 38 prostate nodes underwent real-time transrectal gray scale CEUS with SonoVue and contrast pulsed sequence (CPS). Contrast enhancement pattern of the prostate nodes were recorded and time-intensity curves (TIC) were drawn to calculate the parameters and difference between benign and malignant nodes. Results Twenty benign nodes (17 in inner gland) and 18 malignant ones (14 in external gland) were confirmed by pathology. Compared with normal peripheral zone, malignant lesions showed significantly earlier time to enhancement. The time to peak (TTP), accelerating time (ACT) and peak intensity (PI) of malignant lesions were lower than those of benign lesions (P<0.05).There was no significance in arrival time (AT) between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Of all parameters in CEUS, TTP, ACT and PI are different between prostate benign and malignant lesions, and thus contribute to discriminate prostate cancer from benign diseases.

Objective To evaluate the value of transrectal contrast enhanced ultrasound(TR-CEUS) in diagnosis of benign and malignant prostatic neoplasms.Methods Sixty patients with elevated level of serum prostate specific antigen and suspected prostate diseases were examined with transrectal uhrasound(TRUS), and TR-CEUS.The pattern and intensity of CEUS in these patients were observed;and the patients with nodules were examined with CEUS guided biopsy and sextant system biopsy after ultrasound imaging.Time-intensity curves (TIC) were drawn to calculate the parameters, and the difference between benign and malignant nodes was compared.Results All sixty prostate patients were confirmed by pathological examination.Thirty-seven patients belong to benign lesions, among them 15 patients with nodule lesion had total 20 nodules, while 22 cases had benign prostatic hyperplasia.In 23 cases of malignant lesions, 18 cases had centralized nodules and 5 cases showed diffuse pathologic changes.Benign nodes of inner gland showed a main pattern of homogenous enhancement and a clear node zone, whereas, malignant nodes displayed significant enhancement in peripheral tissue.The time to peak and accelerating time (ACT) of malignant nodes were shorter than those of benign nodes (P <0.05).There was no significance in arrival time (AT) between the two groups (P>0.05).The accordance rate of TR-CEUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant prostatic lesions was higher than that of TRUS (P<0.05).In addition, the sensitivity, specificity and accurate rate of TR-CEUS were higher than those of TRUS, whereas, both misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rate of TR-CEUS were lower than those of TRUS.Conclusions TR-CEUS has clinical value for early discovery of prostatic cancer and has higher application value to differentiate malignant from benign diseases.

Objective:To analyze the morphological changes and features of meibomian gland in patients with meibomian gland cyst under in vivo confocal microscope (IVCM). Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.A total of 34 patients (34 eyes) with meibomian gland cysts and 18 control subjects (18 eyes) in the outpatient department without meibomian gland cysts treated in Shantou International Eye Center from September 2018 to April 2019 were included into the meibomian gland cyst group and control group accordingly.All the subjects underwent routine ophthalmologic examination and IVCM examination.IVCM test indicators included the opening area of meibomian gland, the longest diameter and the shortest diameter of meibomian gland opening, the morphology of glandular tube and acinus adjacent to the meibomian gland opening.The measurement indexes of the meibomian gland cyst group and the control group were compared and analyzed.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Joint Shantou International Eye Center of Shantou University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (No.EC20171103[6]-P01). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before examination.Results:The opening of the meibomian glands of the 34 subjects in the meibomian gland cyst group were all enlarged irregularly with smooth boundaries, and emboli in the openings were observed in 70.59% (24/34) of patients.The longest diameter, the shortest diameter and the area of meibomian gland openings were (148.12±70.16)μm, (114.77±52.38)μm and 9 239.11(5 506.96, 24 111.36)μm 2 in the meibomian gland cyst group, respectively, while (59.35±16.78)μm, (41.98±11.77)μm and 2 094.19 (1 432.28, 2 945.65)μm 2 in the control group, respectively.Compared with the control group, the longest diameter and shortest diameter in the meibomian cyst group were longer, and the area of meibomian gland openings in the meibomian cyst group was larger, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.01). Adjacent to the opening, there was cystic dilation of glandular tube containing accumulated secretion of different characteristics detected in the 61.76% (21/34) of patients in the meibomian gland cyst group, and the dilated glandular tubes were with flat edges.The boundaries between the dilated glandular tubes and surrounding acini were clear. Conclusions:In vivo confocal microscope can detect the morphological changes of meibomian glands in patients with meibomian gland cyst, including enlarged opening with embolus, cystic dilation of glandular tube with clear boundary and accumulated secretion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influences of routine-dose loratadine on the positive patch test reaction to nickel sulfate.MethodsA double-blind,controlled and randomized study was carried out.A total of 121 patients with a positive patch test reaction to nickel sulfate were divided into two groups to receive loratadine 10 mg (experimental group,n =61 ) or placebo (control group,n =60) once daily for 14 days.The patch testing of nickel sulfate was performed on day 11,and clinical evaluation of the test was carried out on day 14 after the start of treatment.The intention to treat population was used for data analysis.ResultsNo changes were observed in the intensity of patch test reaction to nickel sulfate in 55 patients in the experimental group or 53 patients in the control group,and there was no significant difference between the two groups in the percentage of patients showing changes in the intensity of patch test reaction(9.8％ vs.11.7％,x2 =0.11,P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionThe routine-dose loratadine has no inhibitory effect on the intensity of skin patch test reaction to nickel sulfate.
