Objective To discuss the value of preoperative digital design of struetund bone graft for acetabular wall defects. Methods The . dieom data from spiral CT scans were imported into Mimics 10.0 to build the 3D solid model of the pelvis of an old female patient with left acetabular wall defects. The 3D solid model of the defect area was built by Mirror and 3D mask editing. A simulated bone graft was conducted on the 3D model by segmentation and trimming according to the data measured on the reconstructed model. Results The reconstructed 3D model of the patient's pelvis could be presented in different colors, transparenees, or combinations of interested tissues. The acetabular wall defects could be visualized very clearly at different angles. The geometric data of the bone graft could be measured to ensure the bone graft would fit the defects accurately. Conclusion Preoperative digital design based on 3D com-puterized reconstruction of acetabular wall defects may provide a valuable aid to clinical treatment, because it is a simple, rapid, and accurate method of increasing the fitness of bone graft and the defects,

Objective To evaluate the role of breast MRI in detecting the primary malignancy in patients presenting solely with axillary lymph node metastases. Methods Thirty-three patients with axillary lynph node metastases but negative findings on either physical examination or mammography underwent breast MRI to identify occult breast carcinoma. MRI of the breast was assessed according to BI-RADS criteria. The pathologic diagnosis was made according to the standard criteria by the WHO Classification of Tumor. Results Among 33 patients presenting solely with axillary metastases, 30 patients underwent modified radical mastectomy. Primary breast carcinoma was proven in 17 patients. MRI detected lesions in 16 patients, including 10 masses and 6 non-mass lesions. Size of the masses ranged from 0. 5 to 2. 6 cm (mean 1.5 cm). Six lesions were smaller than 1.5 cm in size. Non-mass lesions showed ductal enhancement in 4 cases and segmental enhancement in 2 cases. One patient with tumor detected by histopathology showed no abnormal enhancement on MRI. No tumor was found at mastectomy in the other 13 womeu, and negative MR findings were revealed in 9. Four cases with suspicious enhancement on MRI had no corresponding primary foci on pathology. Three patients didn't undergo surgical procedure. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of the primary malignancy were 94. 1%,69. 2%, and 83.3%, respectively. Conclusions Small size of mass and ductal or segmental enhancement of non-mass lesion were common MR features of occult malignancy. MRI showed high sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing occult breast carcinoma. Breast MRI should be taken in search of occult malignancy in patients with axillary metastases.

Aim To obtain the encoding gene sequences of TEM-type ?-lactamases produced by 4-strain Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhejian g Province, identify their genotypes and study some properties of these TEM-typ e ?-lactamases.Methods The encoding genes of TEM-type ?-la ctamases produced by 4 isolates were amplified by PCR. The purified PCR products were ligated with pGEM-T easy vectors, expressed in E. coli DH 5?, and sequenced by Sanger's dideoxy chain termin ation composition method. Compared with anino acid sequences in the GenBank,TEM -types of the ?-lactamases was determined. The genes of TEM ?-lactamases were ligated with pET-28 c vector to express recombinant proteins in E. coli DH 5?. Plasmids were extracted from the p ronucleus expression strains and PCR was performed to determine whether the pron ucleus expression was successful or not. Their phenotypes were determined by ESB Ls phenotype affirmative test. The isoelectric points (pIs) of the recombinant p roteins were determined by isoelectric focus. Conjugation test was performed to determine whether their genes existed in plasmid or chromosome. Results The encoding genes of ?-lactamases were determined as TEM by PCR. It s PCR product had 1 009 nucleotides. The pI of the novel TEM ?-lactamase was 5.4. The enzyme was determined as non-ESBLs by ESBLs phenotype affirmative tes t.Transconjugants were successfully selected from the paternal producers in conj ugation tests. The TEM-type ?-lactamase produced by 4 strains was determined as TEM-105(AF516720) by GenBank. Conclusion The ?-lactamase produced by 4-strain K. pneumoniae from 4 patients in Zhejiang Province was TEM-105. It was the first report of TEM-105 type ?-lactamase produced by 4-st ain K. pneumoniae from China in the world.
