Objective To analyze the imaging characteristics of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma(PSH) and to improve the accurate rate of its diagnosis before surgery.Methods Imaging findings in 11 cases pathologically proved sclerosing hemangiomas were retrospectively analyzed in comparison with pathology.Results The imaging findings of PSH mostly were solitary masses with homogeneous density,and with smooth margin in 10 cases and irregular margin in 1 case;1 case with slight calcification and 1 case with air-meniscus sign were found.7 cases were homogeneous enhancement and 4 were heterogeneous enhancement on contrast-enhanced scan.The high and low attenuation areas on CT corresponded with angiomatous and cystic areas respecitvely on pathology.Conclusion Chest roentgenogram and unenhanced CT scan of PSH are not of remarkable characteristics,contrast-enhanced CT scan plays an important role in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PSH.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of nutritional support for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and malnutritional patients during perioperative period.Methods The clinical data of 283 HIV-infected patients who were admitted to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from October 2008 to February 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into malnutritional group and non-malnutritional group according to nutritional condition before operation.Twenty-eight patients with malnutrition (7 patients did not receive perioperative nutritional support due to emergency operation,and they were excluded from the study) and 248 patients in normal nutritional status were enrolled in the study.Nutritional support was given for 5-7 days before operation for patients with malnutrition,and all patients received nutritional support after operation.Differences in the immune function,nutrional status,the incidences of surgical incisional infection and sepsis,and perioperative mortality between the 2 groups were compared.Measurement data were analyzed using the paired t test,and the enumeration data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results The levels of CD4,CD8 and hemoglobin in patients with malnutrition were (205 ± 24)× 106/L,(559 ± 55)× 106/L and (103 ± 24)g/L after perioperative nutritional support,which were significantly higher than (150 ± 33) × 106/L,(491 ± 45) × 106/L and (97 ± 19)g/L before nutritional support (t =-2.561,-1.302,-1.349,P < 0.05).The levels of CD4,CD8 and hemoglobin were (197 ± 43) × 106/L,(547 ± 52) × 106/L and (103 ± 22) g/L at postoperative day 14,which were decreased compared with those after nutritional support,while no significant difference was detected (t =-1.108,0.600,-0.148,P > 0.05).The incidence of incisional infection in patients with malnutrition was 42.9% (12/28),which was lower than 45.2% (112/248) of patients in normal nutritional status,with no significant difference (P >0.05).The incidence of postoperative sepsis and perioperative mortality were 75.0% (21/28)and 3.6% (1/28) in patients with malnutrition after operation,which were significantly higher than 32.7% (81/248)and 0.8% (2/248) in patients in normal nutritional status (P < 0.05).Conclusion The mobidity of HIV-infected patients is high,and nutritional support for HIV-infected patients during perioperative period can improve their immunity.

This article was aimed to propose and develop traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health engineering, using modern science and technology, in order to carry out the detection research which reflected TCM features of human functional state. It was an important way to achieve TCM diagnosis and the objective evaluation on therapeutic effects of TCM. The combination of TCM health engineering with information technology, and the formation of TCM functional state intelligent identification system, as well as the extension into the Health Internet of Things (HIT) could provide more accurate and convenient services for human healthcare in the age of big health. And identification on TCM syndromes was the core to achieve this goal. Using characterization data on TCM syndromes could realize the data processing between TCM syndrome and prescription through intelligent computing, in order to form the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment intelligent system. It had great significance in the promotion of TCM health project.

Objective To explore the effect of SZ-685C on rat pituitary adenoma GH3 cell line.Methods MTT method evaluated its effect of proliferation and inhibitory concentration 50 (IC5o) on GH3 cells,after treated by 0,2.5,5.0,7.5,10.0,12.5,15.0,17.5,20.0 and 30.0 μmol/L SZ-685C for 48 h,GH3 cells were changed to complete medium for 12 d,crystal violet staining was used to investigate colony formation; microscopy and Hoechst 33342 staining assay observed whether the changes of morphological as the result of apoptosis,then detected cell apoptosis by flow cytometry.Results SZ-685C had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on GH3 cell proliferation and IC50 was (12.9 ± 0.47) μmol/L,MEF(considered as a control group) had little affect in cell proliferation on the concentration of IC50.Inhibitory effects persisted even on removal of SZ- 685C after 12 d,and SZ-685C blocked colony formation ability of pituitary tumor cells.Apoptotic morphological observation of microscope and Hoechst 33342 staining proved apoptosis during treatment of SZ-685C,flow cytometry detection showed that SZ-685C induces 36.4% of apoptosis,while only 2.0% in control group.Conclusion SZ-685C inhibits pituitary tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis.SZ-685C can be a new anti-patuitary tumor drug for a further study.

Purpose To analyze the image quality of brain CT with 256-slice wide detector axial scanning mode,routine axial scanning mode and spiral scanning mode,and to provide a more effective brain CT examination method for patients.Materials and Methods The prospective study was conducted on 90 patients accepting routine brain CT examination,and they were randomly divided into three groups.CT examination with 160 mm axial scanning mode,40 mm axial scanning mode and 40 mm spiral scanning mode were respectively conducted using GE Revolution CT.The scanning condition was adjusted to remain constant radiation dose,and then the image quality was analyzed.CT attenuation of gray and white matter,contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of white-gray matter and image noise of the three scanning modes were compared.Subjective scoring on image quality of the three scanning modes was also performed.Results On body lateral cerebral ventricle level,there were no significant difference in CT attenuation of gray and white matter and CNR (P>0.05).On centrum semiovale level,the CT attenuation of gray matter [(31.71 ± 1.82) HU],white matter [(22.97± 1.50) HU] and CNR 2.05±0.42 of 160 mm axial scanning mode was significantly different from the other two scanning modes (F=26.74,47.16 and 3.85,P<0.05).On centmm semiovale level,image noise of 160 mm axial scanning mode was lower than the other two kinds of scanning methods (F=6.31,P<0.05),in the basal ganglia and posterior fossa there were no statistically significant differences in the image noise between the three scanning modes (P>0.05).The subjective score of the three scanning modes all met the diagnostic requirements,and there was no significant difference (P>0.05).The effective dose and scanning time of 160 mm axial scanning mode was lower than those of the other two scanning modes,and the X-ray utilization was higher.Conclusion 160 mm wide detector axial scanning mode is more suitable for brain CT scan,and it can be used as the preferred scanning mode in the emergency and among non-cooperative patients.
