Objective To study the multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) perfusion imaging in evaluating the changes of blood supply of hepatocellular carcinoma( HCC ) before and after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods Before and after TACE, MSCT perfusion was performed in 17 patients with HCC. The perfusion indexes such as hepatic blood flow (HBF), hepatic blood volume(HBV),mean transit time (MTT),hepatic arterial fracture (HAF),permeability surface (PS), hepatic artery perfusion (HAP), portal venous perfusion (PVP) were calculated. The hemodynamic changes of HCC after TACE were evaluated according to perfusion parameters. Results After TACE, HBF,HBV and HAP found in MTT and PS before and after TACE (P > 0.05). Conclusion The parameters of MSCT perfusion imaging( HBF, HBV and HAP) can effectively evaluate the hemodynamic changes of HCC after TACE, and has important value in chnical application.

Objective To analyse the relationship between lumbar discectomy outcomes and herniated type and annular integrity. Methods Two hundred and sixty patients who underwent conventional posterior discectomy for lumbar herniated disc were reviewed and followed-up for 6-14 years, with an average of 8.5 years. The criteria of enrolled patients include: all of the cases with low lumbar disc herniation at a single level, laterally protruded disc(one side sciatica) without spinal canal stenosis. Four categories of intraoperative findings were found basing on the defect size of annular and extruded fragments, and postoperative outcomes was compared statistically. Results The patients with larger disc fragments and minimal annular defects had the better outcomes and lowest incidence of recurrence after surgery. On the contrary, small fragments with massive annular defects did worse by comparison. Conclusion The outcomes of lumbar discectomy have close relationship with herniation type and annular integrity. Patients with mild clinical symptoms, small and broad-based disc herniations should be exempted from open discectomy. If open discectomy unavoidable, annular integrity and bony stability should be preserved as much as possible.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of modified BI?RADS classification by using the coronal plane of automatic breast volume scaner. Methods The total of 201 BI?RADS 3~5 classification of breast masses were retrospectively analyzed. All masses underwent conventional ultrasound and ABVS examination. Using BI? RADS classification standard terms to describe various information of breast masses, and record the coronal image of the masses on the complete interface echo, convergence sign, angle, burr, which classified BI?RADS ultimately. Results The coronal plane of convergence sign, complete interface echo, angulation and burr were significantly different between benign and malignant tumors (P<0.0001). The sensitivity of ABVS convergent sign in diagnosing breast malignant tumors was 68.2%, specificity was 93.4% and accuracy was 82%. The conventional ultrasound combined with the coronal feature of ABVS modified by BI?RADS classification showed that 3 kinds of malignant rate reduced from 8.5%to 3.2%. The rate of malignant 4a decreased from 25.2%to 12.1%and the rate of malignant 5 increased from 94.2% to 98%. Conclusion The convergence sign of ABVS can be used as a significant independent predictor of breast malignant tumors;ultrasound combined with ABVS is helpful to improve the accuracy of ultrasound BI?RADS classification.
