Objective To reduce the turnaround time for laboratory diagnosis of bacteremia, the feasibility of rapid identification and susceptibility testing using samples taken directly from positive blood culture bottles was evaluated. Methods The growth of microorganisms in blood culture bottles was screened by the BACTEC 9000 blood culture system. 65 positive blood culture bottles containing gram-negative bacteria were adopted to test. Culture fluid was injected into BD SST vacutainer and centrifuged to pellet blood cells. After collecting required McFarland units, they were cultured on Phoenix 100 NMIC/ID-4(identification-gram-negative bacteria and susceptibility testing) cards using 0.25 McF and 0.5 McF methods respectively. They were also evaluated by the standard method, involving subculture tests from positive blood culture bottles. Results 63 of 65 gram-negative bacteria (96. 9% ) were correctly identified with 0. 25 McF method. 59 of 65 gram-negative bacteria(90.8% ) were correctly identified with 0.5 McF method. For antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the 0.25 McF direct method had an agreement rate more than 94% , the 0.5 McF method was more than 85.7% and direct blood sample KB method was more than 93.8% compared to the standard method. But the overall minor error rate in susceptibility testing of direct blood sample KB method is higher than other methods. Conclusion Applying 0. 25 McF and 0. 5 McF rapid identification and susceptibility test was practical. During to possessing more prominent advantages, laboratory put the 0. 25 McF direct method into practice had a timely, remarkable significance.

Purpose To explore the influence of duration of scan acquisition on perfusion parameters in whole renal perfusion with Revolution CT.Materials and Methods Fortytwo patients without pathologic changes in bilateral kidneys were divided into group A (with short perfusion time) and group B (with long perfusion time) according to the duration time of the perfusion scan.The Revolution CT axial scan mode was used for perfusion scan,and the width of detector was 16 cm.The perfusion CT series were performed in 50 seconds,each comprising 25 volumes with identical parameters (80 kVp,200 mA) in group A.The perfusion CT series were performed in 594 seconds,each comprising 23 volumes with identical parameters (120 kVp,55 mA) in group B.The source datasets were post-processed with CT Perfusion 4D software,and the perfusion parameter maps were obtained when right renal abdominal aorta was taken as entry artery.Perfusion parameters of bilateral kidneys were compared within and between group A and group B,respectively.CT dosage index of volume (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) were recorded.The effective dose (ED) was calculated and compared.Results There were no statistical difference in all parameters between bilateral kidneys within each group (P>0.05).However,blood volume,time to peak,and permeability surface in the cortex and medulla of bilateral kidneys all showed differences between the above two groups (P<0.05).The mean transit time in the medulla between the two groups was different (P<0.05),but neither the blood flow in the medulla and cortex nor the mean transit time of the cortex had difference between the two groups (P>0.05).The effective radiation doses were (23.10± 4.39)mSv in group A and (23.19±0.00) mSv in group B,respectively (without statistic difference:P>0.05).Conclusion CT perfusion parameters with different duration time show differences in whole renal perfusion;therefore,scanning time needs to be set according to the clinical application.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of 3D ultrasound calibration in image guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer by taking cone beam CT calibration as the gold standard, and to analyze the risk factors of accuracy.Methods:From December 2018 to December 2021, 51 patients with prostate cancer from the Department of Radiation Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University were selected as the study subjects. They received cone beam CT calibration based on bone and 3D ultrasound calibration based on soft tissue before fraction volumetric modulated arc therapy treatment three times a week. Taking cone beam CT calibration data as the gold standard, the Bland-Altman method was used to analyze the consistency of 3D ultrasound calibration data with the former. Taking 3 mm as the allowable threshold of accuracy, the calibration accuracy of 3D ultrasound relative to cone beam CT was evaluated. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the accuracy of 3D ultrasound calibration.Results:A total of 765 pairs of cone beam CT and 3D ultrasound calibration data were obtained from 51 patients in left-right, superior-inferior and anterior-posterior directions. The calibration data of 3D ultrasound and cone beam CT were (1.39±0.11) and (1.13±0.07) mm in the left-right direction, (1.98±0.20) and (1.61±0.12) mm in the superior-inferior direction, (2.68±0.48) and (1.78±0.27) mm in the anterior-posterior direction, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-6.42, P<0.001; t=-7.07, P<0.001; t=-7.34, P<0.001). The analysis results of Bland-Altman showed that the consistency of calibration data of the two methods were acceptable in three directions. The number of pairs of 3D ultrasound relative to cone beam CT calibration data difference <3 mm in the three directions were 676 (88.37%) on the left-right direction, 604 (78.95%) on the superior-inferior direction, and 577 (75.42%) on the anterior-posterior direction. The factors with statistically significant differences in the left-right direction included age ( χ2=18.27, P<0.001), prostate volume ( χ2=14.55, P<0.001), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ( χ2=8.01, P=0.005) and field range ( χ2=11.30, P<0.001). Age ( OR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.90-3.39, P=0.010) and the field range ( OR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.18-2.55, P=0.020) were the independent risk factors affecting the accuracy of 3D ultrasound calibration in the left-right direction. The factors with statistically significant differences in the superior-inferior direction included age ( χ2=80.68, P<0.001), body mass index ( χ2=35.89, P<0.001) and field range ( χ2=40.39, P<0.001). Age ( OR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.15-2.09, P=0.021) and the field range ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.01-1.90, P=0.034) were the independent risk factors affecting the accuracy of 3D ultrasound calibration in the superior-inferior direction. The factors with statistically significant differences in the anterior-posterior direction included age ( χ2=46.07, P<0.001), CCI ( χ2=47.97, P<0.001) and field range ( χ2=11.86, P=0.001). Age ( OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.22-3.45, P=0.015) and the field range ( OR=2.89, 95% CI: 1.45-3.90, P=0.001) were the independent risk factors affecting the accuracy of 3D ultrasound calibration in the anterior-posterior direction. Conclusion:The consistency and accuracy of the calibration results of 3D ultrasound relative to cone beam CT are acceptable. It is necessary to consider the patient's age and field range to reduce the impact on accuracy before conducting 3D ultrasound calibration.
