Objective To discuss the value of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods Color Doppler ultrasonography exam was practiced in 84 UTUC patients preoperatively.According to ultrasound characteristics,lesions was classified into nodular type,wall thickening type and solid mass type,which were confirmed by pathology in all cases postoperatively.Results In the total of 84 cases (76 transitional-cell carcinoma,5 adenocarcinoma and 3 epidermoid carcinoma),lesions infiltrated laminae propria and surrounding tissue in 65 cases.In the nodular type of UTUC,there were nodules raising into lumen.Wall thickening type of UTUC was characterized by irregularly wall thickening,lumen narrowing,truncating and breaking.Similarly,obstruction broke off the ureteral lumen suddenly in solid mass type of UTUC.A clear demarcation could be found between the pipe wall and surrounding tissue in nodular type.However,such clear demarcation could not be found in wall thickening type and solid mass type.The accordance rate of ultrasonographic located diagnosis were 92.9 ％ (78/84),with 6 missed diagnosis cases.The accordance rate of qualitative diagnosis were 89.7％ (70/78).Conclusions As result of color Doppler ultrasonography,there were different relationship between lesion and the peripheral tissue in different types of UTUC.In types of wall thickening and solid mass,the demarcation was unclear and it is easier to violate the surrounding tissue.Color Doppler ultrasonography can provide more effective information for diagnosis and therapy UTUC.

Objective To summarize the occurrence of malignant tumor following renal transplantation and investigate the measures of prevention and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 1 037 cases of renal transplantation in our centre between Dec. 1979 and May 2001 were retrospectively. Results Of the 1 037 cases of renal transplantation, 15 cases were diagnosed as having malignant tumor with the incidence being 1.4% . The most common types of tumor were liver cancer (6/15), followed by Kaposi's sarcoma (4/15), pulmonary cancer (2/15). The main treatments included surgical resection, reducing the dosage of immunosuppressants, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Conclusion There is higher incidence of malignance in the renal transplantation recipient than general crowd. The effect of treatment depended on early diagnosis of cancer and early surgical operation. At the same time, the dosage of immunosuppressants was reduced to maintain normal function of the graft.

Objective To probe the clinical diagnosis value of high frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) in thyroglossal duct cyst(TDC). Methods Forty-one TDC were taken HFUS and the location, boundary,shape,interal echo of lesions and the relation to hyoid bone were observed. The periphery and internal blood flow signal were detected by color Doppler flow imaging. The results of HFUS were compared with those of pathology after operation. The cases were divided into groups according to pathological types and were compared with acoustic image shows. Results All cases were diagnosed TDC by pathology after operation. Internal walls of 9 TDC consist of cilium columnar epithelium, 19 consist of stratified pavement epithelium and 13 consist of this two epitheliums. HFUS showed different pathological types had different ultrasonic appearances. In this study, 77.8%(7/9) TDC with columnar epithelium showed echoless,84.2 (16/19) TDC with pavement epithelium showed similar solid echopattern and TDC with two epitheliums mainly showed similar solid echopattern and multi-room cyst. Hyperechogenicity of hyoid bone displayed around the lesion in 80.5%(33/41)TDC. No blood flow signal showed in 41 TDC and a little punctiform blood flow signal showed in the periphery of 5 TDC. The diagnose accordance rate of HFUS in TDC was 95.1%(39/41). Conclusions HFUS can clearly show the location, boundary, shape,interal echo of TDC and its relation to hyoid bone. HFUS is important for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of TDC.

Objective To probe the value of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) in differential diagnosis of the pure mucinous adenocarcinoma of breast (PMAB) and adenofibroma of breast (AFB).Methods Twenty-five cases of PMAB and 30 cases AFB were examined by CDU. The sonographic appearance, interior and peripheral blood flow distribution and Doppler frequency of the tumors were observed and analyzed. The results of the diagnoses of CDU and the pathologies were compared. Results The diagnostic rates of PMAB and AFB by CDU were 76.0% and 93.3%, respectively. The clear peplos was observed in 90% of AFB, and internal even echoes. Yet no peplos was observed in PMAB, and the internal echoes of most PMAB were confused and disordered. The detection rate of Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ stage blood flow in adenofibroma of breast was only 40% and that of Ⅰ ～ Ⅲ stage blood flow in PMAB was high to 76%.The detection rate of blood flow stage and the resistant index (RI) of the blood flow frequency spectrum of PMAB and AFB were significantly different. Conclusions CDU has significant clinical value in differential diagnosis of pure mucinous adenocarcinoma and adenofibroma of breast.

AIM: To study the role of the gene and protein expression of MIP-1? and RANTES in the bronchus of murine asthma. METHODS: 20 male BALB/C mice were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (A 0 group) and asthma group (B 0 group). In the experiment, the mice model of asthma was established by the ovalbumin (OVA) challenge methods. The protein expression of MIP-1? and RANTES were detected by immunohistochemistry methods. The gene expressions of MIP-1? and RANTES were detected by in situ hybridization methods. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of MIP-1? protein and RANTES protein around the bronchus of group B 0 were significantly higher than those of group A 0 (P

Objective To probe the value of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) in diagnosis of borderline ovarian epithelial tumors (BOET).Methods Thirty-six cases of BOET,139 cases of ovarial cystadenoma and 66 cases of ovarial cystadenocarcinoma were diagnosed pathologically.All cases were preoperatively detected by CDFI.Tumor sign CA125 was also detected.The size,boundary,internal echo and internal flow distribution were observed.The results of CDFI of different diseases were contrasted.Results Ultrasonic diagnosis rate was 75 ％ (27/36) in BOET,90.6 ％ (126/139) in ovarial cystadenoma and 92.4 ％ (61/66) in ovarial cystadenocarcinoma.Positive rate of CA125 of ovarial cystadenocarcinoma was obviously higher than those of BOET and ovarial cystadenoma.Positive rate of CA125 of ovarial cystadenocarcinoma containing solid was especially higher than that of BOET containing solid.Ovarial cystadenoma mainly showed single cavity,few or without solid as well as hematoasthenia or asanguineous.BOET and ovarial cystadenocarcinoma mainly showed multi-cavity,more solid as well as plentiful blood flow.Blood flow of BOET distributed regularly comparing with ovarial cystadenocarcinoma.Conclusions Characteristics of CDFI combining results of CA125 can provide powerful reference for diagnosise and differentiate diagnosis of BOET and more information diagnostic information for clinic to chosing treatment scheme and postoperative long-term follow-up.
