Background and purpose: Since the detection of localized prostate cancer is increasing, it's important to distinguish from benign lesions like prostatitis. This study aimed to compare diffusion weighted imaging with apparent diffusion coefifcients in differential diagnosis of localized prostate cancer on 3.0T MR. Methods:Sixty-nine cases with localized prostate cancer proved by pathology, 43 in perpheral zone (PZ) and 26 in central gland (CG), 33 with prostatitis, and 37 with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were analyzed. The signal noise ratio (SNR) and apparent diffusion coefifcient (ADC) value of lesions were measured, and a semiquantitative grading of DW image was performed. The diagnostic accuracy of both methods was evaluated by ROC. Results:45 cancer foci and 36 prostatitis lesions in PZ, 27 cancer foci and 42 BPH lesions in CG were included. The sensitivity and speciifcity for ADC value to distinguish cancer from begin lesions in PZ and CG were 88.9%and 86.1%、81.5%and 73.8%respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of ADC value was higher than DWI semiquantitative grading and SNR (P<0.05). Conclusion:ADC value yielded a higher accuracy in differential diagnosis of localized prostate cancer on 3.0T MR, thus it’s recommended as a major index for diagnosis.

Objective To investigate influence of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive function in elder patients after hip re-placement surgery under spinal anesthesia. Methods Forty elderly patients with ASAⅠ~Ⅲ,undergoing hip replacement with spinal anesth-sia,were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group( group A) and normal saline group( group B) ,with 20 patients in each group. Dexme-detomidine was given with 1 μg/kg after anesthesia and followed with 0. 5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 in group A. The equal volume of normal saline was infused in group B. Cognitive function was evaluated before anesthesia,3 and 7 days after surgery by mini-mental state examination( MMSE) . The intraoperative concentration of TNF-α,IL-6,MDA were detected at the time of before surgery(T0),end of surgery(T1),3 days after sur-gery(T2),7 days after suegery. Results There was no significant difference in MMSE score before anesthesia between the two groups (P>0. 05). The difference of MMSE score at postoperative 3 days between two groups was statistical significance (P<0. 05). The MMSE score recovered normal in both groups 7 days later. There was no significant difference of TNF-α,IL-6,MDA concentration at T0 between two groups(P>0. 05). Compared with T0,the concentration of TNF-α,IL-6,MDA at T1,T2 in group B increased,the difference was significant. And the concentration of IL-6 at T1 in group A decreased,compared with that at T0,the difference was significant(P<0. 05). The concentra-tion of TNF-α,IL-6 at T1,T2 and MDA at T2 in group A were lower than those in group B,the difference was significant. (P<0. 05). Con-clusion Dexmedetomidine can decreased the concentration of TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and improve the postoperative cognitive dysfunction of eld-erly patients who finished the hip replacement surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) combined with hypercoagulability in children. Methods The clinical data of 57 children with primary PNS were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical features and treatment were compared among high coagulation state group, non high coagulation state group and control group (20 children). At the same time, the differences between the simple nephrotic syndrome group (SNS) and nephritic syndrome group (NNS) in hypercoagulable state were analyzed. In addition, the correlation analysis was performed. Results Among 57 patients, there were 50 patients in high coagulation state group and 7 in non high coagulation state group. There was no significant difference in gender, age and clinical manifestations between two groups (P>0.05). The platelet (PLT) count, platelet aggregation (PCT), albumin (Alb), fibrinogen (Fib), D-dimer (D2) were significantly higher than those in the control group, and there were statistically significant differences (P all<0.01). There were significant differences in the levels of PLT, Fib, D2 and complement C4 between hypercoagulable state group and non hypercoagulable state group (P all<0.05). There were significant differences in HCT, TC, LDL, PT and complement C3 levels between SNS group (n = 32) and NNS group (n =18) in 50 patients with high coagulation state (P<0.05). There was positive correlation between HCT and complement C3 (r=0.30, P<0.05), while there was no correlation between PLT and other indices (P>0.05). All of the 57 patients were improved and has no thrombosis after the treatment. Conclusion Children with primary PNS were usually associated with different degrees of hypercoagulable state, and PLT, Fib, D2 could be used as reference indices for the severity of hypercoagulable state, and the activation of complement system might be related to the occurrence and development of hypercoagulable state.
