Objective To study testicular microlithiasis(TM)on scrotal ultrasound findings in re-lation to the incidence of varicocele in males with scrotal symptoms.Methods Ultrasound finding of 8351 cases aged 40 days to 88 years with scrotal symptoms were reviewed.Results TM was found in 170 pa-tients(2.04%)and varicocele Was found in 1449 patients(17.35%)of symptomatic individuals.Varicocele Was found in TM and non-TM were 15.88%(27/170)and 17.38%(1422/8181)respectively,statistical anal-ysis revealed that there was no close relationship between TM and varicocele(x2=0.26,P>0.05)in symp-tomatic population. Conclusion TM is a comnlofl disease and has no direct correlation with varicocele.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced transvaginal sonography TVS in the diagnosis of myometrial invasion grade of endometrial cancer. Methods Total twenty-eight cases were studied by contrast-enhanced TVS,which were proved pathologically endometrial cancer in our hospital. The diagnosis of myometrial invasion grade of endometrial cancer by contrast-enhanced TVS were compared with pathologic results based on FIGO. Results The total coincidence of contrast-enhanced transvaginal sonography in detecting the depth of myometrial invasion was 78.6%. In the evaluation of no myometrial invasion,it showed the sensitivity of 71.4%,specificity of 85.7% and coincidence of 62.5%. In evaluation of superficial myometrial invasion,the sensitivity,specificity and coincidence was 73.7% ,77. 8% ,87. 5% ,respectively. The sensitivity in detecting deep invasion was 100. 0% ,the specificity was 96.0% ,while coincidence was 75.0%.There was no significant difference among the coincidence of various depth of myometrial invasion by contrast-enhanced TVS. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced TVS was valuable in the diagnosis of myometrial invasion grade of endometrial cancer.

Objective To determinate the heavy metal cadmium content in rice to ensure food safety.Methods Several brands and batch numbers of rice were collected and divided into groups A and B.Group A contained 24 pieces of rice from the canteens,and group B involved in 22 pieces from the farm product markets.Cadmium content in rice was detected quantitatively with X-ray fluorescence spectrometer,and then evaluated according to GB 2762-2012 which determined rice was not qualified in case cadmium content was more than 0.2 mg/kg.Results Group A had cadmium content between 0.00 and 0.477 mg/kg,the times of ultra standard being 2.385 and the disqualification rate being 29.2％ (7/24),and group B had cadmium content between 0.065 and 0.619 mg/kg,the times of ultra standard being 3.095 and the disqualification rate being 68.2％ (15/22).Excessive cadmium content in rice occurred in both canteens and markets,while the canteens was better than the markets.Conclusion X-ray fluorescence spectrometer detects cadmium content in rice rapidly and simply,and is worthy promoting in elementary facilities.
