Objective To investigate the advantage and diagnosis rate of different image examination in breast diseases.Methods From January 2010 to February 2014,all image examination data of 389 breast disease pa-tients who received surgical operation were collected and analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent color Doppler ultrasound examination.Breast X-ray photographic examination was performed in 325 patients,and MRI ex-amination in 188 patients,while 122 patients received MSCT examination.Results All surgical specimens were ex-amined and diagnosed pathologically.Of all the patients,176 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer(including 117 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma,48 cases of mucinous carcinoma,and 11 cases of carcinoma simplex),213 patients were confirmed as benign lesions (including 86 cases of adenomas,35 cases of intraductal papilloma,14 cases of lipoma,26 cases of atypical hyperplasia,34 cases of cystic hyperplasia,3 cases of fibroids,12 cases of adenomyosis, 2 cases of phyllodes tumor,and 1 cases with inflammation).The diagnosis rate with color Doppler ultrasound was 91.0%(354 /389),and the results showed suggestive of malignancy was 75.0%(132 /176 cases).The diagnosis rate with breast X-ray photographic examination was 89.5% (291 /325 cases),and suggestive of malignancy rate was 89.8%(158 /176).The diagnosis rate with MRI was 92.0%(173 /188),suggestive of malignancy was 93.8%(165 /176).The diagnosis rate with MSCT was 91.8% (112 /122),while the suggestive of malignancy was 92.0%(162 /176).Conclusions Both MRI and MSCT have a high diagnostic value than other image examination in discriminat-ing benign and malignant breast diseases.However,there is no difference in diagnosis rate in breast diseases whenever color Doppler ultrasound,breast X-ray photographic examination,MRI or MSCT was used.

The effects of monoterpene perilly alcohol (POH) alone or in combination with STI571 on the proliferation and apoptosis of the cell line K562 positive for Bcr/Abl were investigated. By using cell culture, the effect of the drugs on the proliferation of the cells was studied. TUNEL and flow cytometry assay of FITC-Annexin V and PI labeled cells were applied to detect the effects of the drugs on the apoptosis of the cells. The results showed that at 36 h, IC50 of POH on K562 positive for Bcr/Abl and HL-60 negative for Bcr/Abl were 81.0 +/- 11.3 micromol/L and 113.6 +/- 23.4 micromol/L respectively (P>0.05). POH could inhibit the proliferation of K562 in a time- and dose-dependent manner with the inhibitory rate of 100 micromol/L POH on K562 cells at 36 h being (53.2 +/- 3.65)%. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. IC50 of STI571 on K562 cells in 36 h was (0.256 +/- 0.054) micromol/L. In a time- and dose-dependent manner, POH induced the apoptosis of K562 cells with the percentage of apoptotic cells by 100 micromol/L POH at 40 h being (21.0 +/- 3.3)%. Both 100 micromo/L POH and 0.2 micromol/L STI571 had the same inhibitory effects on the K562 cells at 36 h. But at 12 and 24 h, the inhibitory rate of POH was significantly higher than that of STI571 (P<0.05) and the ability of STI571 inducing apoptosis at 36 h was greater than that of POH. 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could obviously increase the inhibitory effects on the cellular proliferation. Combined use of 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L, 200 micromol/L with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could strongly induced apoptosis, especially 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571. It was concluded that the antileukemia effect of POH had no obvious Bcr/Abl positive selectivity. POH can inhibit the proliferation of K562 and induce the apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. POH in combination with STI571 could obviously enhance the abilities of STI571 inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.

In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be one of the key factors of post transcriptional gene regulation, which are involved in occurrence and development of many diseases. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has become an effective alternative treatment approaches for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the most important factors leading patients to withdraw from long-term PD, hence restricts the application and development of PD. MicroRNAs are closely related to the development of peritoneal fibrosis. This article reviews the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis and treatment of peritoneal fibrosis.

Sclerosing cholangitis includes a spectrum of chronic, variably progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and stricture of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Sclerosing cholangitis can be divided into primary sclerosing cholangitis of unidentified etiology and secondary sclerosing cholangitis caused by various identifiable etiologies, including immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing cholangitis, recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, ischemic cholangitis, acquired immunodeficiency syndromerelated cholangitis and eosinophilic cholangitis. In this article, we describe the imaging findings of the various spectrums of sclerosing cholangitis with anemphasis on a systemic approach in differential diagnosis. It is very important for magnetic resonance cholangiography and endoscopic cholangiography in imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis. We also discuss the clinical significance and therapeutic options for treating sclerosing cholangitis.

Objective To evaluate the dynamic MR imaging findings of peripheral cholangiocarcinoma (PCC) of the liver. Methods Seventeen patients with PCC underwent dynamic MRI during the early, middle, and delayed phase after contrast medium administration. Enhancement pattern of the tumor, the wedge-like enhancement area peripheral to the tumor, dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary ducts, vascular involvement, and extrahepatic tumor invasion were evaluated. Results Early peripheral enhancement with progressive and concentric filling by contrast medium was the most frequent enhancement pattern (9 patients). A wedge-like enhancement area was observed in 10 patients. Ductal dilatation was found in 11 patients. Vascular involvement and extrahepatic invasion were seen in 8 and 2 patients, respectively. Conclusion Enhancement pattern is relative to the character of pathology (quantity and distribution of cell and fibrosis). Early peripheral enhancement with progressive and concentric filling by contrast medium may be specific for PCC.
