Objective:To compare the assessments of the presence or absence and the changes of post-treatment periapical lesions using periapical radiographs versus cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Methods:Imaging records were selected from a sample of 233 radiographic examinations (in-cluding periapical radiographs and CBCT)of patients with chronic apical periododontitis who received treatment and review in Department of Cariology and Endodontology of Peking University School of Stoma-tology.After testing the inter-observer and intra-observer agreement,two observers determined the pre-sence or absence of a periapical lesion and classified the changes of lesions in 4 categories:absence,re-duction or enlargement of lesion,or uncertain.The differences between CBCT and periapical radiographs in detecting the presence or absence and the changes of periapical lesions were compared using McNemar test and Fisher’s exact test respectively.Results:In the study,233 teeth were assessed with both periapi-cal radiographs and CBCT images.Periapical lesions were detected in 178 teeth on CBCT scans and in 146 teeth on periapical radiographs.CBCT images revealed a significantly larger number of lesions than were revealed by periapical radiographs (P <0.01 ).There was disagreement on the changes of lesions between the two radiological technologies in 25% teeth,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01 ). Conclusion:Significant differences were observed between periapical radiographs and CBCT in detection of post-treatment periapical lesions and assessment of the changes of periapical lesions.

Objective To investigate the clinical pathological factors of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) with clinically node-negative sides of neck stage central lymph node metastasis.Methods Analysis of 136 cases of cNo stage of PTMC of clinical and pathological data,and using the PCR method for the detection of BRAFV600E mutation in the paraffin coated tissue.Results One hundred and thirty-six cases with PTMC lymph node metastasis rate was 38.2％ (52/136),BRAFV600E mutation rate was 44.9％ (61/136).Single factor analysis showed that the lymph node metastasis was related with BRAFV600E mutation and capsular invasion (P＜ 0.05).The size of the tumor was close to significant level (P=0.057).Multiple regression analysis showed that BRAFV600E mutation and capsular invasion were independent factors for affecting the central lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The routine central lymph node dissection should be performed in patients with BRAFV600E mutation and tumor invasion.
