Objective To explore the value of spectral imaging technique in dual-energy CT in differential diagnosis of the metastatic lymph nodes in thyroid carcinoma,squamous cell carcinoma metastatic lymph nodes and lymphoma in the neck.Methods In 30 patients with pathologically confirmed with a total of 79 cervical lymph nodes enlargement which were using dual energy scan .Then observed the change trend of the spectrum curve and comparison the three kinds of lymph node energy spectrum curve’s slope.Results In the 79 lymph nodes,the metastatic lymph nodes in thyroid carcinoma were twenty-three,squamous cell carcinoma metastatic lymph nodes were twenty-four and lymphoma were thirty-two.From 60 to 180 keV,with the increase of keV values,the three kinds of malignant lymph nodes of the corresponding CT value decreasing and the higher the keV value,the CT value decrease magnitude was small,and the spectrum curve was〞drop type〞.The slope spectrum curve of the metastatic lymph nodes of thyroid carcinoma in arterial phase and parenchymal phase were maximum,which were 1.23±0.41 and 0.85±0.33,respectively.The slope spectrum curve of lymphoma in arterial phase and parenchymal phase were least,whcih were 0.40±0.16 and 0.47 ±0.09.The slope spectrum curve of the squamous cell carcinoma metastatic lymph nodes in arterial phase and parenchymal phase were 0.88±0.10 and 0.62±0.28.The energy spectrum curve slope of the three kinds of malignant lymph nodes have statistical significance.Conclusion The energy spectrum curve slope of arterial phase and parenchymal phase has some significance lymph node metastasis of in thyroid carcinoma,the metastatic lymph nodes and lymphoma in the neck.

Objective:To establish a scientific and standardized evaluation index system of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality under the state of mother-infant separation, in order to provide a tool for the detection and management of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality under mother-infant separation, so as to promote the implementation of breastfeeding in China.Methods:A systematic and comprehensive search of Chinese and English databases was conducted to collect guidelines on neonatal breastfeeding in the state of mother-infant separation. Based on the "structure-process - result" three-dimensional quality structure model, the preliminary draft of evaluation indexes of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality in the state of mother-infant separation was formed. The evaluation indexes of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality in the state of mother-infant separation were constructed by Delphi expert correspondence method from July to October, 2023.Results:The effective recovery rates were 95.83% (23/24) and 91.30% (21/23), respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.895 and 0.870, respectively. The Kendall harmony coefficients of the whole index were 0.134 and 0.178 (both P<0.01), respectively. The final evaluation index system of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality under the state of mother-infant separation includes 3 first-level indicators, 18 second-level indicators and 82 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation index system of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality in the state of mother-infant separation established in this study is highly scientific and reliable, highlighting the characteristics of neonatal breastfeeding nursing work in the state of mother-infant separation, and can provide a reference for the evaluation of neonatal breastfeeding nursing quality in the state of mother-infant separation.

Objective:To investigate the application value of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in evaluating flow diverter (FD) apposition and endothelialization in aneurysm animal models, and analyze the effect of incomplete stent apposition (ISA) on aneurysm lumen healing and stent endothelialization.Methods:Lateral common carotid artery aneurysm models in swines were established by surgical method and then FD was implanted. Immediately after surgery, OCT and IVUS were used to evaluate the locations and degrees of ISA, and difference between these 2 methods in evaluating FD apposition was compared. DSA was performed at 12 weeks after surgery to evaluate the aneurysm occlusion (Kamran grading) and stent patency. OCT and IVUS were used again to observe the stent endothelial situation; by comparing with histopathologic results, effect of ISA on aneurysm healing and stent endothelialization was analyzed.Results:Lateral common carotid artery aneurysm models in 6 swines were established, and 6 Tubridge FDs were successfully implanted. Compared with IVUS (3 stents, 4 locus), OCT could detect more ISA (6 stents, 14 locus); and the vascular diameter change area (7 locus), aneurysm neck area (4 locus) and the head and tail of FD (3 locus) were the main sites of FD malapposition; average distance between stent wire and vessel wall was (560.14±101.48) μm. At 12 weeks after surgery, DSA showed that 1 patient had a little residual contrast agent at the aneurysm neck (Kamran grading 3), and the remaining 5 had complete aneurysm occlusion (Kamran grading 4). One FD had moderate lumen stenosis, and the other 5 FDs had lumen patency. OCT indicated mostly disappeared acute ISA; ISA proportion decreased to 21.4 % (3/14), including 2 in the aneurysm neck and 1 in the partial stent. Histopathological results showed bare stent woven silk, without obvious endothelial coverage; in one FD with luminal stenosis, intimal hyperplasia was mainly composed of vascular smooth muscle cells.Conclusion:In carotid artery aneurysm model with FD implantation, OCT can detect more ISA than IVUS; most acute ISA have good outcome at 12 th week of follow-up, while severe ISA can cause delayed FD endothelialization and delayed aneurysm occlusion.
