Objective:To investigate the computed tomography (CT) features of primary hepatic fibrosarcoma (PHF).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 8 patients with PHF who were admitted to 2 medical centers from January 2010 to December 2019, including 3 cases of Yueqing People's Hospital of Zhejiang and 5 cases of Wenzhou People's Hospital of Zhejiang were collected. There were 5 males and 3 females, aged 50 years(range, 39?60 years). All patients underwent abdominal CT plain and enhanced examination, and surgical procedures were selected based on patients' will and individual situations. Surgical tumor specimens were given pathological examination and immunohistochemical staining. Observation indicators: (1) imaging features of CT examination; (2) treatment and pathological examinations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was performed by outpatient examination or hospitalization to detect survival of patients and tumor recurrence up to December 2020. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Imaging features of CT examination: 8 patients received preoperative CT examinations, 3 cases of which were diagnosed as malignancies, 3 cases were diagnosed as hepatic space-occupying lesions, 2 cases were diagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. ① Tumor location and general status: 8 patients had single tumor, of which 6 cases had tumor located in the right lobe of the liver and 2 cases had tumor located in the left lobe of the liver. The tumor was in oval shape in 5 patients and in circular in 3 patients. The maximum diameter of tumor in 8 patients was 9.3 cm(range, 4.0?15.0 cm). There were 1 case with tumor maximum diameter ≤5.0 cm, 4 cases with tumor maximum diameter as 5.1?10.0 cm, 3 cases with tumor maximum diameter >10.0 cm. ② CT plain scan showed uniform low density in 2 cases and uneven low density in 6 cases and the CT value of 8 cases was 40 HU(range, 29?43 HU). The tumor showed expansive growth with clear boundary in 6 cases, and invasive growth with unclear boundary in 2 cases. Five cases had intratumoral necrosis and cystic transformation, 2 cases had intratumoral strip hemorrhage, and 1 case of intratumoral calcification. There was 1 case with hilar lymph node metastasis. ③ Enhanced CT scan showed 8 cases with uneven enhancement in arterial phase, 8 cases with uneven tumor density in portal vein phase, 8 cases with intratumoral enhancement slowly withdrew in delayed phase and the density lower than liver parenchyma. (2) Treatment and pathological examinations: ① 8 patients under-went surgical resection, without intrahepatic or hilar metastasis. ② The results of postoperative pathological examination showed 2 cases with grade Ⅰ tumor differentiation (low potential malignancy), 5 cases with grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ tumor differentiation (moderate potential malignancy), 1 case with grade Ⅳ tumor differentiation (high potential malignancy). ③ Immuno-histochemical staining showed that 8 cases were positive for vimentin, CD10, p53 and negative for smooth muscle actin, keratin19, epithelial membrane antigen, endotheliocyte 34. All 8 patients were diagnosed as PHF. (3) Follow-up: all 8 patients were followed up for 7 to 128 months, with a median follow-up time of 53 months. The overall survival time of 8 patients was 15 to 122 months, and the median overall survival time was 45 months. One patient died of tumor recurrence and distant metastasis at 17 months after surgery, and the survival time of 7 patients was >28 months.Conclusions:CT plain scan of PHF showed uneven low-density masses. After enhancement, the arterial phase shows the tumor ring or peripheral nodular uneven enhancement, the intratumoral strip-shaped enhanced blood vessels. The portal vein phase shows the tumor-like small patches or grid-like continuous enhancement. The delayed phase is characterized by the slow withdrawal of intratumoral enhancement.

The rates of recovery of spontaneous circulation, admission survival, and discharge survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in China are much lower than the world and Asian averages, and the data on the survival of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients are also less favorable. The variable quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the low percentage of bystander CPR participation are the main reasons for these phenomena. Real-time feedback devices are an effective strategy to address these issues and have been recommended for use in several guidelines. However, the existing CPR feedback devices have the problems of being inconvenient to operate and expensive to popularize. Therefore, members of the CPR training team of Loudi Central Hospital designed a CPR real-time feedback APP device, which has been granted the right of National Invention Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2021 1 1118500.1). The device consists of a feedback device and a mobile device (there are two versions: healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals). The feedback device consists of a pressing plate and a soft rubber plate. The inner side of the soft rubber plate is covered with sensor monitoring points. On each sensor monitoring point, there are micro pressure sensors and micro acceleration sensors. When performing chest compressions, the sensors will transmit the relevant data to the cell phone feedback APP. By sampling and analyzing the data and building a three-dimensional dynamic model, the feedback APP accurately judges the effect of chest compressions based on factors such as the strength of the compressions, the frequency of the compressions and the depth of the compressions, corrects and provides voice guidance for the subsequent CPR process in real time, guides the rescuers to follow the standardized procedures for rescue, and improves the survival rate and neurological recovery of the CPR patients. The device improves CPR with exact effect, real-time accuracy, simple operation, easy to promote, and applicable to all populations. It has good clinical application and socialization popularization value, and can be equipped in medical institutions and public places.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical and imaging features of primary peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNETs) of bone.
Methods:
Clinical and X-ray, CT and MRI findings of 6 cases of primary bone pPNETs in Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Zhejiang, Yueqing People′s Hospital of Zhejiang, and Wenzhou People′s Hospital of Zhejiang were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
There were 4 males and 2 females, aged from 2 to 38 years, with an average age of (18.5 ± 12.0) years old. Local pain was found in all cases, including 4 cases with mass, with an average survival of (22.2 ± 16.9) months. Iliac bone tumor was found in 2 cases, sacrum in 2 cases, scapula in 1 case and femur in 1 case. Digital radiography(DR) examination was performed in 4 cases:4 cases showed osteolytic destruction, including 1 case with mild swelling changes, 1 case with laminar periosteal reaction and radial bone needle, and 3 cases with soft tissue mass. CT examination was done in 4 cases, and there were 4 cases of osteolytic destruction accompanied by soft tissue mass without periosteal reaction. Among them, 1 case had irregular sclerosis at the edge of bone destruction and 2 cases had fine calcification in soft tissue mass. MRI examination in 4 cases:there were 3 cases with equal signal on T1WI and 1 case with moderate to high signal on T1WI, 3 cases with inhomogeneous medium and high signal on T2WI and STIR, and 1 case with homogeneous high signal on T1WI, and 4 cases with soft tissue masses and peritumoral edema.
Conclusions
Bone pPNETs is characterized by osteolytic destruction with soft tissue masses, periosteal reaction with or without periosteal reaction, and intratumoral calcification. Imaging examination is helpful to understand the extent of lesions, formulation of therapeutic measures and evaluation of therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore the imaging biomarker for early diagnosis and disease course monitoring of Parkinson disease (PD) in arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique. Methods Between July, 2014 and May, 2017, 23 patients with PD underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ASL examinations in our hospital, including 13 in the early stage and 10 in advanced stages. Voxel-based analysis (VBA) was used to observe the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) characteristics in PD patients in different stages and three-dimensional continuous arterial spin labeling (3D CASL) was used to analyze the mean cerebral blood flow (mCBF). Results No significant difference was found in mCBF among PD patients in the early stage, patients in advanced stages and normal control subjects (P=0.30). Compared with the normal control group, the patients with early-stage PD had decreased rCBF in resting state mainly in the right superior occipital gyrus and the right superior frontal gyrus as revealed by VBA (P<0.001);the patients with advanced PD showed decreased rCBF mainly in the left precentral gyrus and the postcentral gyrus (P<0.001). The patients with advanced PD exhibited lowered rCBF in the right substantia nigra and the bilateral corpus callosum as compared with the early-stage patients (P<0.001). Conclusions VBA of ASL reveals rCBF alterations in association with the disease progression in PD patients, suggesting that this technique might provide assistance in identification of potential markers for early PD diagnosis and for monitoring the disease course.
