Objective To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).Methods The clinicopathological data of 75 patients(46 males,29 females;average age 38 years) with IBD confirmed by colonoscopy from March 2010 to March 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.Among the 75 patients,30 were with ulcerative colitis(UC) and 45 were with Crohn's disease (CD).All underwent whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.Enteroscope and CRP examination were performed within 1 week before or after PET/CT imaging.The results of 18F-FDG PET/CT were compared with those of located CT and enteroscope (x2,t tests).Linear correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between CRP and the SUVmax of lesions presented in IBD.Results (1) 18 F-FDG PET/CT accurately detected 65 patients with IBD,while located CT diagnosed 55 patients with IBD.The diagnostic sensitivities were significantly different:86.7％ (65/75) vs 73.3％ (55/75),x2 =4.167,P＜0.05.(2) Among 65 patients with positive results in 18F-FDG PET/CT,lesions were consistent with those detected by endoscopy in 33 (33/75,44.0％)patients.Results of the 2 methods in 24 patients (24/75,32.0％)were not completely same,those in 8 patients (8/75,10.7％)were totally different.18F-FDG PET/CT detected 145 lesions,while enteroscope only detected 119 lesions.Diffuse high FDG uptake was shown in intestinal wall in 40 of 65 patients,and mild mucosa injury was showed by enteroscope in 18 patients (45.0％,18/40).(3)Fortyeight of 65 patients detected by PET/CT were proven clinically to be in active stage,and the rest were in stable stage.The SUVmax of active stage group (8.31±4.21) was significantly higher than that of the chronic stage group (6.36±3.15;t =2.033,P＜0.05).There was a linear correlation between CRP and SUVmax of patients in active stage(r=0.453,P＜0.01).Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT is helpful to assess the activity of IBD and may serve as a supplementary diagnosing tool to detect the lesions under the epithelium of bowel,which are often false-negative by enteroscope.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of CT combined electronic level guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy in diagnosis of small pulmonary nodules.Methods 44 cases of lung mini-nodule underwent CT combined electronic level guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy.After operation the tissue was sent for pathologic examination.The nodules were divided into two groups,including Group A (diameter 0.5-1.0 cm,N=10) and Group B (diameter 1.1-2.0 cm,N=34),according to the different sizes of diameter.The excision of postoperative pathological and diagnosis result of clinical diagnosis and treatment of more than 12 months follow up were taken as the final result.The sensitivity,specificity,veracity and complications were compared and analyzed using paired x2 test,taking P＜0.05 as significant difference.Results (1)The arrival rate of target puncture were 100 ％ in 44 cases,with the sensitivity rate of 90.9％,specificity rate of 100 ％,veracity rate of 88.6 ％,positive predictive value of 97.5 ％,and negative predictive value of 100 ％.The sensitivity,specificity and veracity of Group A were 77.8％,100％ and 70.0％ respectively.And the sensitivity,specificity and veracity of Group B were 94.1％,100％ and 94.1％ respectively.The sensitivity,veracity of Group A was higher than Group B (P＜0.05),while there was no difference in specificity.(2)Complication:the incidence rate of pneumothorax,pulmonary bleeding symptoms and hemothorax were 9.1％,11.4％,2.3％,respectively.The incidence rate of total complication was 22.7％,and all be cured after the treatment.The lesions with emphysema around is a risk factor for pneumothorax and pulmonary bleeding symptoms (x2 =11.2,10.2,P＜0.05).However,the position,size and deepness was not correlated with the complications mentioned above (P ＞0.05).Conclusion CT combined electronic level guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy is a safe,effective and accurate diagnostic method for lung mini-nodule lesion.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ambulatory labor analgesia used in latent phase of the first stage of labor, which include labor progress, Apgar score after ambulatory labor analgesia begun to use when the cervix was different size dilatated. Methods Seventy-five parturient primiparas who had no complication were randomly divided into three groups: group Ⅰ: ambulatory labor analgesia was begun to use when the cervix was 1.0 cm dilated, group Ⅱ: ambulatory labor analgesia was begun to use when the cervix was 2-3 cm dilated, group Ⅲ: control group without use of ambulatory labor analgesia. Analgesic effects were observed, changes of uterine contraction were recorded by fetal monitor. Meanwhile, total stage of labor ,outcome of delivery and Apgar score were recorded. Results Duration of total stage of labor had no significant difference between group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ.The duration of the first labor stage was significantly longer in group Ⅰ than that in group Ⅱ(P

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in biliary obstruction.Methods Totally,28 biliary obstruction patients were divided into benign obstruction group (n =11) and malignant obstruction group (n =17)according to the cause of obstruction.Imaging characteristics of 18F-FDG PET/CT and maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) were compared between the two groups.Efficacy of PET/CT and MRI in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice were compared.Results In 28 cases,no or mild dilatation of biliary tract accounted for 53.57％ (15/28),moderate to severe dilatation of biliary tract accounted for 46.42％ (13/28).Among the malignant obstruction group,2 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,5 cases of bile duct carcinoma,6 cases of carcinoma of the head of pancreas,and 4 cases of ampullary carcinoma were included,18F-FDG PET/CT showed proximal high metabolic nodules of the obstruction site in 14 cases.Among the benign obstruction group,7 cases were bile duct inflammatory stricture,of which 4 cases with bile duct stones.18F-FDG PET/CT showed a slight increase with patchy or nodular mild metabolism in 6 cases.There were 4 cases of autoimmune pancreatitis.The imaging 18 F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated multi-segmental or multiple nodular enlargement of the pancreas,with generally increased metabolism.SUVmax of malignant obstruction group (6.88± 2.81) was significantly higher than that of benign obstruction group (4.20± 1.70;t=3.143,P＜0.05).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI in the diagnosis of malignant obstructive jaundice were 94.12％ (16/17) and 58.82％ (10/17;x2=4.086 5,P=0.043),81.82％ (9/11) and 63.64％ (7/11;x2=0.229 2,P=0.632),89.29％ (25/28) and 60.71％ (17/28;x2 =4.666 7,P=0.031),respectively.Conclusion 18F-FDG PET / CT has a great value in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice,which is of great significance for clinical decision-making.

Objective To compare ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and chemiluminescence immunoassay(CLIA) measurement of human serum androgen levels in polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). Methods 160 PCOS patients and 146 healthy subjects(control group) were recruited and their serum androgen levels——measurements of testosterone and dehydcoepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) were tested by UPLC-MS/MS and CLIA. The androgen results combined with body mass index(BMI) were analyzed by ROC curve. According to area under curve(AUC) calculated by SPSS, a better method will be selected to provide accurate test results for physicians. Results (1)AUC of DHEA-S tested by UPLC-MS/MS was significantly higher than the one tested by CLIA(P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the AUC of T tested by UPLC-MS/MS and the one tested by CLIA. (2)AUC of T combined with DHEA-S tested by HPLC was not only significantly higher than the AUC of two combined indicators tested by CLIA(P<0.01),but also significantly higher than the AUC of a single indicator——either T(P<0.01) or DHEA-S(P<0.01) tested by UPLC-MS/MS. (3)The AUC of T,DHEA-S combined with BMI tested by HPLC was not only significantly higher than the AUC of three combined indicators tested by CLIA(P<0.01),but also higher than the AUC of two combined indicators tested by UPLC-MS/MS(P<0.05). Conclusion T and DHEA-S tested by UPLC-MS/MS combined with BMI has a certain reference value in the diagnosis of PCOS.
