Objective To explore the imaging features of breast cancer by molybdenum target roentgenography in order to improve the diagnostic level. Methods The mammographic features of 68 cases with breast cancer confirmed surgically and pathologically were studied retrospectively. Results Masses with high density, spicule signs and lobulate margins were found in 61, 43 and 32 cases, respectively. Calcification was found in 29 cases (42 6%), in which only 7 cases of calcification without mass were found. Conclusion The masses and calcification are the main radiological features in breast cancer. The consciousness of comprehensive examination should be emphasized in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Oleic acid was injected intravenously into 29 dogs to induce the experimental 'Respiratory Distress Syndrome'. The chest x-ray manifestations of RDS were observed and analyzed. Correlating the x-ray findings with the findings of patho-anatomical examination, which was done on the killed dogs, the authors tried to investigate the pathogenesis of RDS. Meanwhile the diameter of the first branch of either inferior pulmonary artery was measured to determine the variations of the contractions of the pulmonary arteries.Finally the therapeutic effect of anisodamine and dexamethasone was compared. It seemed that the effect of the former was better than that of the latter from our preliminary trial.

Objective To explore the causes of persistent abnormal muscle response (AMR) after microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) and the clinical outcomes of these patients.Methods MVD was performed under intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring of AMR in 372 HFS patients in 2014.Before MVD,the characteristic AMR of HFS was recorded in 326 patients.The patients were divided into two groups based on whether AMR disappeared or persisted following MVD;21 patients showed persistent AMR after successful MVD while AMR disappeared after decompression in the other 305 patients.The clinical features,treatment efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between these two groups.Results Gender,side of depression and mean age between the two groups showed no significant differences (P＞0.05).The immediate postoperative cure rate of the AMR disappeared group (88.9％) was significantly higher than that in the AMR persisted group (28.6％,P＜0.05).The follow-up cure rate showed no significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05),and the postoperative and follow-up complications showed no significant differences (P＞0.05).Conclusion The long duration of HFS patients may be responsible for persistent AMR after successful decompression,and it is more likely for these patients to get delayed cured;their long-term outcomes showed no difference as compared with those in patients with disappeared AMR after MVD.
