Objective To evaluate the values of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in diagnosis of cystic renal cell carcino-ma. Methods A total of 73 patients with renal cystic lesions were included in this study. The image features of ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination were analysed. All of patients underwent surgical treatment and had patholog-ical results. The diagnostic values of the ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were analyzed by evaluating the im-age features of cystic renal cell carcinoma. Results There were 64 cases of cystic renal cell carcinoma, 9 cases of benign cyst. With ultrasound and color doppler ultrasound,irregular shape, thickness wall, solid ingredients, divisions and more blood flow signals were found in cystic renal cell carcinoma. Renal cyst showed regular shape, few solid component and thin separation and inconspicuous blood flow signals. In contrast-enhanced ultrasound, cystic renal cancer contrast agent appear-ing time was (15.13±4.21)s, and reached the peak time (23.42±5.68)s, fade time was (28.42±4.27)s. The enhanced mode for fast in and fast out was found in 22 cases (34.3%), fast in and slow out in 30 cases (46.8%), slow in and fast out in 2 cases (3.2%), slow in and slow out in 4 cases (6.4%), and synchronously in and out in 6 cases (9.3%). The hyper-enhancement was found in 42 cases (65.6%), the iso-enhancement and hypo-enhancement in 22 cases (34.4%). In renal cyst, There were three cases out of contrast filling. In other 6 cases, the contrast agent appearing time was (16.67±2.73)s, the peak time was (25.83±3.06)s and fade time was (34.17±4.26)s. The enhanced mode for fast in and fast out was found in 1 case (16.7%), fast in and slow out in 1 case (16.7%) and synchronously in and out in 4 cases (66.6%). The hyper-enhancement was found in 2 cases (33.3%), the iso-enhancement and hypo-enhancement in 4 cases (66.7%). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predic-tive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of ultrasound were 85.9%, 66.7%, 94.8%, 40.0%and 83.6%. The sensitiv-ity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound were 92.2%, 77.8%, 96.7%, 58.3%and 90.4%. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can be used in benign and malignan-cy identification of renal cystic lesion.

Objective To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the diagnosis of small renal cell carcinoma (SRCC) and renal angiomyolipoma (AML) with minimal fat.Methods The images and data of conventional ultrasound (US) and CEUS were retrospectively reviewed in 47 cases of small renal cell carcinoma and 8 cases of AML with minimal fat (d ＜ 30mm),which were confirmed by operation and pathologicall study,including 39 males and 16 females.The mean age of the patients was (54.8 ± 9.8) years old,ranged from 31 to 73 years old.The size,echo,boundary and color flow signals of renal lesions were observed by conventional US.Then the modality and phases of enhancement were observed,including the arrival time,the peak time,the washout time and the appearance of internal structures.Results On contrast-enhanced sonography,fast wash-in and wash-off were observed in most of SRCC,while slow wash-off were observed in most of RAML with minimal fat.The statistically significant differences were found between SRCC and RAML with minimal fat in the values of TFP (time a to peak) and PI (peak-intensity).The occurrence of round pseudo-capsule and contrast-enhancement characteristics in SRCC was far more often than RAML with minimal fat.Conclusions Contrast-enhanced sonography combined with time-intensity analysis provides more useful information for the diagnosis of SRCC and AML with minimal fat.

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma subtyping.Methods 206 cases with renal tumors were confirmed by pathology and surgery from June 2012 to June 2014,including 113 male cases and 93 female cases.The mean age was 54 years (range 23-80 years).The subtype of renal tumor included clear cell carcinoma in 147 cases,papillary cell carcinoma in 32 cases,chromophobe cell carcinoma in 27 cases.All patients were received the CEUS before operation.The enhancement patterns,degree of enhancement,the appearance of necrosis and the time-intensity curve by contrast-enhanced ultrasound were analyzed.Results Enhancement patterns of CEUS were showed by fast in and fast out in 63.9％ (94/147)cases with clear cell carcinoma,59.4％ (19/32) cases with papillary cell carcinoma,51.9％ (14/27) cases with chromophobe cell carcinoma.Statistical significant diference was shown among those subtype groups (P ＜ 0.05).Most of the clear cell carcinomas (127/147,86.4％) showed hyperenhancing.While,the papillary renal cell carcinoma (22/32,68.8％) and chromophobe cell carcinoma (15/27,55.6％) showed hypoenhancing (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of necrosis in clear renal cell carcinoma was 62.6％ (92/147),and 59.4％ (19/32) in papillary cell carcinoma.necrosis area accounted for only 18.5％ (5/27)in chromophobe cell carcinoma (P ＜ 0.05).In the time-intensity curve analysis,the initial time,the average arrival time,the time to peak and area under the curve in renal cortex was (11.06 ± 2.75) s,(23.42 ± 2.79) s,(27.47 ± 3.02) dB,(35.01 ± 2.94)dB,respectively.Significant differences in those items were found in clear cell carcinoma,which was(8.01 ± 1.89) s,(20.05 ± 3.01) s,(30.03 ± 2.98) dB,(37.64 ± 4.01) dB respectively,compared with those in cortex (P ＜ 0.05).The arrival time,time to peak,peak intensity and area under the curve in papillary cell carcinoma were (1 1.12 ± 2.43) s,(27.29 ± 3.54) s,(20.13 ± 2.67) dB,(34.67 ±3.24) dB,respectively.The curve showed the time to peak was higher and the peak intensity were lower than those of renal cortex (P ＜0.05).The arrival time,time to peak,peak intensity and area under the curve in chromophobe cell carcinoma were (11.32 ± 2.90) s,(22.21 ± 3.62) s,(22.02 ± 2.52) dB,(28.67 ± 3.65) dB,respectively.The curve demonstrated peak intensity and area under the curve were lower than those of surrounding renal cortex (P ＜ 0.05).The increase of tumor diameter after contrast-enhanced ultrasound in clear cell carcinoma was about (0.35 ± 0.11)cm and in nonclear cell carcinoma was about (0.23 ± 0.10) cm (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The contrast-enhanced ultrasound played an important role in diagnosis and subtype renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the value of TI-RADS for sonographic diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and to evaluate the sonographic findings of FTC compared to PTC.Methods The clinical and sonographic data of 363 cases of pathology confirmed thyroid nodules were retrospectively analyzed.The thyroid nodules were classified by TI-RADS grading criteria,the accuracy of TI-RADS and sonographic findings between FTC and PTC was analyzed.Results In 363 thyroid nodules,114 cases were confirmed as benign lesions;249 cases were confirmed as carcinomas,including 50 FTC cases and 199 PTC cases.The sensitivity,specificity,PPV,NPV,and accuracy of PTC were 97.0％ (193/199),85.1％ (97/114),91.9％ (193/210),85.8％ (97/113),95.7％ (290/303) respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,PPV,NPV,and accuracy of FTC were 97.0％(193/199),85.1％ (97/114),91.9％ (193/210),85.8％ (97/113),95.7％ (290/303) respectively.There were significant differences of nodule size,shape,margin,echogenecity,calcification,halo and flow between FTC group and PTC group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion TI-RADS has higher value in the sonographic diagnosis of PTC than that of FTC.FTC are greatly different from PTC in many sonographic findings making it less valuable for the diagnosis of FTC.

Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most common tumors in the urinary system. Most of these tumors are malignant. The incidence of renal tumors has increased in recent years. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination is increasingly applied in clinics and has become a common diagnostic method for renal lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can clearly show the organization of tu-mor blood vessels and capillaries and provide dynamic observation of the blood perfusion status of normal human tissues and tumor tis-sues. This review discusses the situation and value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in renal tumor treatment.

Objective:To observe the effect of Gegen Qinlian decoction on serum high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)expres-sion of rats with periodontitis and atherosclerosis(P-AS).Methods:40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group(A,n=1 0),P-AS group(B,n=30).5 rats in group A and B were used for the identification of P-AS model.Then rats with P-AS in group B were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=5)and administered with saline(B1 ),atorvastatin(B2),metronidazole (B3),atorvastatin+metronidazole(B4)and Gegen Qinlian decoction(B5)respectively for 4 weeks.Serum hs-CRP level was assayed by ELISA.Periodontal attachment loss(AL)and artery change were examined by pathology.Results:Serum hs-CRP level in group B1-5 was higher than that of group A(P<0.01 ).Serum hs-CRP level of group B4 and B5 was lower than that of group B1-3(P<0.01 ),B4 vs B5,P>0.05.The inflammation of periodontal tissues in group B2-5 was improved more than that in group B1 .AL in group B4 and B5 were lower than that in other groups(P<0.01 ),B4 vs B5,P>0.05.Histopathological observation of arteries re-vealed that there was no foam cell in group B4 and B5 ,the artery wall in group B4 and B5 was more even and muscle fibers were ar-ranged more regular.Conclusion:Gegen Qinlian decoction may decreas serum hs-CRP expression and depress the development of pe-riodontitis and atherosclerosis.

Objective:To observe the effect of Gegen Qinlian decoction on high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and interleu-kin-6(IL-6)in serum of the rats with periodontitis and the IL-6 expression level in periodontal tissues.Methods:45 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group N(n =1 0),periodontitis model group P(n =35).After periodontitis model was identi-fied by the examination of 5 rats,the rest rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n =1 0)and treated by gavage of saline(group P0 ), metronidazole(group P1 )and Gegen Qinlian decoction(group P2 )respectively for 4 weeks.Then all the rats were sacrificed.Serum was immediately harvested for the test of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels by ELISA.Attachment loss level(AL)was examined by pa-thology.IL-6 expression in periodontal tissues was examined by S-P immunohistochemistry.Results:The inflammation of periodontal tissues in P1 ,P2 were improved more than that in P0 .AL in group P2 were lower than that in other groups(P <0.05).The IL-6 expres-sion in periodontal tissues and the levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 of group P2 were lower than those of other groups(P <0.05).Ser-um hs-CRP level was positively correlated with IL-6 level.Conclusion:Gegen Qinlian decoction may inhibit the development of peri-odontitis by depressing the expression of serum hs-CRP and IL-6.
