Purpose:We present the imaging and pathological features of pPNET tumor in six patients,to add to the knowledge of this tumor. Methods:Retrospective analysis of six pPNETs integrated with data of radiography and pathology. Results:The CT appearance of the tumor arising in soft tissue showed a large,ill-defined,non-calcified mass and heterogeneous appearance with hypodense cystic areas. The tumors demonstrated heterogeneous contrast enhancement. The pPNET arising in bone demonstrated extensive lytic lesion with large soft tissue mass,no newly-born bone and demonstrated heterogeneous contrast enhancement. MRI in SE sequences on T 1 W demonstrated homogeneous intensity for muscle and showed enhancement pattern of multiple internal septa and envelope. On T 2 W image,the tumors were heterogeneous with hyperintense signal. Conclusions:The study of clinic and radiology on pPENT does not show specificity. CT and MRI findings on pPENT can provide more information of it's internal structure,involved area,adjacent vascular and nervous structures. CT and MRI can also be useful in detection of recurrent and metastatic disease and very useful in preoperative staging,and in the planning of the surgical appproach.

Objective To discussed application effect of modified flowchart of preoperational articles in the operating room. Methods A group for the reconstructed flowchart was set up to look into the problems of traditional flowchart for articles preparation and then have the flowchart modified upon the found problems. The duration for article preparation and the flaw rate were compared between pre-and post-modification. Result The duration for preparation after modification was significantly shorter than that before modification and the flaw rate was significantly lower as well (P<0.001). Conclusion The modified flowchart for article preparation in the operation room can reduce the flaw rate and shorten the duration for article preparation, thus ensuring smooth operation.

Objective To discuss the pathogeny,treatment and prophylactic measures of postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS).Methods The clinical data of 150 patients with laparoscopic PCS in our department from October 2000 to March 2009 were analyzed.Results Etiological factors were found in 131 patients:one hundred and twelve cases were due to the reasons of biliary system,including bile duct residual stones after cystic resection,the injury bile duct stenosis,a long residual cystic canal,nipple benign stricture,bile duct tumor etc;Nineteen examples were due to other reasons,including gallbladder stone merger reflux gastritis,gastroduodenal ulcer,diverticulum beside duodenal nipple,and so on,which resulted in the symptoms un-release after cystic resection.Nineteen cases were not found organic lesion.In ones whose etiological factors were definite,117 cases were treated with different surgeries according to different etiological factors;another 33 cases were treated with conservative treatment.Total 145 cases were followed up,and 139 cases in them were cured or relieved at different degrees.Conclusion Careful preoperative examination,normalized operation avoiding damaging bile duct and leaving behind bile duct stones can effectively prevent laparoscopic PCS.

Objective To describe the CT appearance of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis,discuss the anatomic and pathologic basis of this paralysis,and evaluate CT diagnosis.Methods 32 cases of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis clinical confirmed were analyzed retrospectively.All of these patients had the CT scans from the level of hyoid bone to the upper thorax,the slice and interval are 5 mm.Results CT findings of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis included: oblique of aryepiglottic fold,dislocation of arytenoids cartilage and cricoarytenoid joint,dilation and relaxation of piriform sinus for 27 cases (84.4%);wide and asymmetrical ventricle of larynx for 16 cases(50.0%);asymmetrical and fix of vocal fold for 11 cases(34.4%) et al.Conclusion The recurrent laryngeal nerve innervate all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except cricothyroid muscle,paralysis of the nerve leads to atrophy of related muscles.CT scan demonstrate the larynx morphologic changes of recurrent nerve paralysis and is helpful to identify the etiology.

Objective To evaluate the CT features and pathologic findings of MTC. Methods The CT features of 28 patients with MTC confirmed pathologically were analyzed retrospectively and correlated with pathologic findings. Results The tumor invaded one lobe of the thyroid in 22 cases(78.6%), two lobe in 6 cases(21.4%). 5(17.9%) of them presented with heterogeneous hypodense masses and 23(82.1%) of them presented with homogeneous hypodense solitary masses . 20 patients had metastatic lymph nodes. The thyroid masses were enhanced slightly, while the lymph nodes were enhanced obviously. Correlating with pathologic findings, the heterogeneous lesions composed of cystic areas and/or necrosis, while the homogeneous lesions composed of homogeneously distributed tumor cells with no cystic areas or necrosis. The metastatic lymph nodes were hypervascular. Conclusion The CT features of MTC may be described as homogeneous diffuse hypodense mass, with slight enhancement,and invasion of one thyroid lobe in most cases. The metastatic lymph nodes are characterized with enhancement.

0.05). A Kappa value was 0.435 for overall final assessment. There were moderate agreement in category Ⅰ and Ⅴ (K=0.511 and 0.671), and slight agreement in category Ⅱ (0.373), Ⅲ (0.179), and Ⅳ (0.276). The positive value of different categories assessed by two groups were as follows: category Ⅰ (12.5% vs 22.5%), Ⅱ(3.7% vs 12.5%), Ⅲ(20.83% vs 19.61%), Ⅳ(68.63% vs 60.34%), and Ⅴ(100% vs 89.91%). Twenty three lesions(7.49%)were misdiagnosed by both groups. Conclusion BI-RADS is useful in mammographic diagnoses of breast lesion with symptoms. The misdiagnoses can be reduced combined with the clinical examination and reasonable additional imaging evaluation. For symptomatic breast lesions, the assessing threshold of category Ⅱ or Ⅲ should be improved, and category Ⅳ should be reduced. But BI-RADS has its limitation. We propose that corresponded classification should be drawn according to every application’s condition.
