Objective:To investigate the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differential diagnosis for benign and malignant lesions of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN).Methods: 120 patients with SPN were enrolled in the retrospective analysis, and all of them underwent scan of MR including MRI, DCE-MR and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) before their surgery. All of patients received detection of pathology or histopathological examination after their surgery, and the ADC values under different b values of dispersion sensitivity factor (300 s/mm2, 500 s/mm2 and 800 s/mm2) were compared.Results:Under the conditions both of 300 s/mm2 and 800 s/mm2, the differences of ADC value between benign nodule and malignant nodule were not statistically significant (t=1.195,P>0.05). And under the condition of 500 s/mm2, the ADC value of benign nodule was significantly higher than that of malignant nodule (t=4.313,P<0.05), and at this time, the sensitivity, specificity, rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis rate of the differential diagnosis for benign and malignant lesions of SPN by using MR were 85.71%, 74%, 14.9% and 26%, respectively.Conclusion: MR examination has higher sensitivity in differential diagnosis for benign and malignant lesions of SPN, and it has a certain clinical value when it is used as early detecting method.

OBJECTIVE To know the antibacterial activity of cefotaxime/sulbactam against 4 kinds of Gram- negative bacilli in vitro in general clinics. METHODS By double-disk test to detect the ESBLs of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and the metallo-?-lactamase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. And all the tested bacilli were tested by 14 kinds of general antibacterial drugs through K-B experiment. RESULTS Fifty one of 164 Enterobacteriaceae strains were ESBLs positive, including 23 E. coli strains with positive rate of 26.3% and 28 K. pneumoniae strains with positive rate of 35.9%. The metallo-?-lactamase was produced in 33 of 85 P. aeruginosa strains and the positive rate was 38.8%, and none in A. baumannii. The result showed cefotaxime /sulbactam was very sensitive to Enterobacteriaceae, no matter it had enzyme or not. These drugs had a special high sensitivity to ESBLs producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, and their sensitivity rate was 87.0% and 89.3%. The sensitivity rate to P. aeruginosa, produced enzyme or not was 56.7% and 92.3%. CONCLUSIONS Cefotaxime/sulbactam has a powerful antibacterial activity against 4 kinds of Gram-negative bacilli in vitro in general clinics, especially to the infection caused by ESBLs-producing or metallo-?-lactamase-producing bacteria, and can be taken as the preferred drugs.

Key factors for interpreting proficiency testing (PT)/external quality assessment (EQA) results are knowledge of the commutability of the samples used and the process used for target value assignment.A commutable PT/EQA sample,which would be seen as patients' samples,has the agreement of results among different measurement procedures and demonstrates the same numeric relationship.The value assignment for the sample can be done by using of a reference measurement procedure.Its results can be used to assess the accuracy against a reference measurement procedure or a designated comparison method.Noncommutable PT/EQA samples frequently have a matrix-related bias of unknown magnitude,and can't give meaningful information about the relationship of results for patients' samples among different measurement procedures.Its results must be compared to the peer group mean or the median of results from participants who use measurement procedures that are expected to have the same or very similar matrixrelated bias.
