2.A research on the assessment of color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasonic elastography for curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer
China Medical Equipment 2017;14(9):74-77
Objective:To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasonic elastography for curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer.Methods: 100 patients with breast cancer who has received NAC were divided intoobservation group (50 cases, underwent examination of color Doppler ultrasound scanner combined with ultrasonic elastography) and control group (50 cases, only underwent examination of color Doppler ultrasound scanner) according to the different examination methods. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of differential diagnosis methods for curative effect of NAC between the two groups were compared as above data.Results: The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of differential diagnosis for curative effect of NAC in observation group were 88.00%, 90.00% and 86.00%, respectively. While them of control group were 78.00%, 80.00% and 76.00%, respectively. And the differences of these indicators between the two groups were statistically significant (x2=2.01,x2=3.24,x2=3.45, P<0.05).Conclusions: Color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasound elastography can diagnose the curative effect of NAC for patients with breast cancer from two aspects which includes tissue hardness and blood supply, and it can achieve more diagnostic accuracy compared with only using simple color Doppler ultrasound.

Objective To investigate the optimal beam tube potential for amorphous silicon/cesium iodide flat panel digital chest radiography(indirect DR). Methods(1)60 healthy adults were undergone digital posteroanterior(PA) chest radiography at 80,100,150 kV respectively.The images quality of these three were compared by 5 independent observers.Several normal anatomy parts of the chest and the overall impression of the images were evaluated;(2)PA chest exposures of the anthropomorphic chest phantom to produce a constant ESDs(entrance skin doses) and exit dose were made using tube potential at 80,100,120,150 kV.The simulated chest nodules were scored. Results The quality of the adult chest radiography and the manifestation of the simulated chest nodules were superior at the lower tube voltages.The contrast of the images were best at 80 kV,while the appearance of the images look like that of the low potential radiography. Conclusion The optimal tube potential for chest DR is considered to be 80~100 kVp,while the high KV technique is no longer suitable for digital equipment.

Objective Taking the total amino-acid, total flavones, chlorogenic acid, and volatile oil in Chrysanthemum morifolium as index to investigate the internal quality which relates to collection periods and processing methvods in order to compare the quality of species from oringinal habitats. Methods The contents of colorogenic acid in C. morifolium was analyzed by HPLC; the content of total flavones and amino-acid in C. morifolium were measured by spectrophotometery; and the volatile oil obtained by steam distilation extraction was weighted. Results The every indexes of viviparious chrysanthemum except chlorogenic acid was the best among various flowering periods so the viviparious chrysanthemum can be used as the first-class tea. The common tea produced by half-booming and full-booming flowers with higher yield and appropriate index. The machine processing is fast and suitable for the production to a large-scale. Conclusion The quality of C. morifolium planted in Ruicheng, Shanxi Province is equal to that in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, which depends on the collecting periods and processing methods, so does the volatile oil rather than the evironment of the habitat.

Juvenile hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive tissue iron overload which leads to irreversible organ damage and even death.This disease is mainly caused by mutations in two genes:hemojuvelin gene and hepcidin gene.Different mutations have different phenotype.The two genes may act as modifying genes in HFE hemochromatosis.Hepcidin secreted by liver plays a central role in the regulation of iron homeostasis.HJV can act as a bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)co-receptor which is required for HJV to regulate hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis.Recent researches suggest that the bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)signaling pathway mediated by HJV is a significant mechanism for HJV to regulate hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis.HJV mutant impaires BMP signaling which results in hepcidin expression decrease and abnormal iron metabolism.

Objective To study the value of color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity and pulmonary embolism (PE) in spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 60 PE patients (PE group) and 35 SCI patients without PE (control group) received color Doppler ultrasound examination for DVT of lower extremity. Results PE group included 36 SCI patients (PE-SCI group) and 24 no-SCI patients (PE-no-SCI group). There were 15 cases with lower extremity thrombosis in PE-SCI group, and 9 cases in PE-no-SCI group (P>0.05), while there were 5 cases in the control group. There was significantly different in lower extremity thrombosis between PE group and the control group (P<0.01). In PE group, the detection rate was not significantly different between acute PE (detected 11 cases out of 37 cases) and chronic PE (detected 10 cases out of 23 cases) (P>0.05). 31 cases were rechecked as lower extremity venous valve regurgitation and calf muscle vein dilation (51.7%) in PE group while 8 cases in the control group (22.9%) (P<0.01). Conclusion There is not significantly different in the detection rate of DVT of lower extremity in PE patients with and without spinal cord injury, which are higher than in the patients without PE. Color Doppler ultrasound is necessary to check DVT in acute and chronic PE patients.

Objective To study the normal changes in brain during childhood by analyzing the diffusion characters of different regions and different age phases with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods DTI was performed in 63 children (age range, 2 days to 9 years) without brain abnormalities and the data measured in ADC maps were analyzed statistically. Results (1) There were significant differences in ADC values among some different regions of brain tissue; (2) In babyhood, the ADC values in gray matters decreased faster than in white matters; (3) The ADC values decreased with the increasing of age , and show negatively exponentially correlation with age. Conclusion DTI shows the changes of brain tissue composition in vivo, with which normal changes in brain during childhood can be evaluated.

Objective To assess the difference in detection of simulated chest nodules in different lung fields with dual-energy digital subtraction chest radiography by receive operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis.Methods Dual-energy digital subtraction chest radiography was performed on 20 volunteers with simulated chest nodules. ROC analysis was made in the evaluation results on regular DR images and soft tissue images in different lung fields respectively.Results Az was greater on the soft tissue images than on the regular DR images in the superior lung fields and outer zone of middle lung fields. There were significant differences in the superior lung fields and outer zone of middle lung fields.Conclusion Dual-energy digital subtraction chest radiography is superior to regular DR image on detecting more chest nodule lesions, especially in the superior lung fields and outer zone of middle lung fields. So the two techniques should be united to diagnose.
