Objective To explore the mammographic characteristics and technique in mammary tumor.Methods The mammographic materials of 200 cases with breast tumors which were confirmed by surgery, ultrasonography, biopsy or clinic follow-up were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results Benign mammary tumors were found in 138 cases. They were the masses with round or ellipse in shape mammographically and soft clinically. In 62 cases of breast cancer, the mammogram showed irregular masses in 37 cases (59.7%), oval in 25 (40.3%), clustered tiny calcification in 32 (51.6%) and local infiltration in 4 (6.5%). The masses were hard on palpation, and their sizes were smaller on mammogram than that on palpation. Conclusion mammography is the initial modality for breast tumor, which can demonstrate main direct and indirect signs of the breast cancer, and shares high value in early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Alloiococcus otitidis (A. otitidis) and Secretory Otitis Media (SOM) in adults.Methods The study included 39 adult patients suffering from SOM and 42 samples (middle ear effusion, MEE)were collected. We detected the four organisms(A. otitidis ,S. pneumoniae, H.influenzae and M. catarrhalis) by mutiplex PCR, for comparing the bacterial findings in the patients with or without cold history, with or without antibiotic treatment, with effusion of different characters and durations by chi-square test. Results The DNA of A. otitidis was detected from 5 MEEs(11.9%).To acute SOM, only 1 sample was PCR-positive for A. otitidis; and to chronic SOM,4 samples were positive. There was a significant difference between them. There were 3 serous MEEs and 2 mucous MEEs, which were PCR-positive for A. otitidis, and there was a significant difference between them. Antibiotic therapy didn't contribute to PCR-positive for A.otitidis. Conclusion There is A. otitidis in the MEEs of adult SOM and it may be a pathogenic factor in SOM. A. otitidis may play an important role in chronic SOM.

Objective To explore the difference between the stapes prosthesis surgery with microscope and with otoscope. Methods Fifty-four patients with otoselerosis accepted stapes prosthesis surgery with the same kind of stapes prosthesis, done in the same operative method by the identical surgeon.All the operations were done with microscopes or with otoscopes. The operative difference and therapeutic effects between microscope surgery and otoscope surgery were analysed. Results There was no difference in the postoperative heating improvement between microscope surgery and otoscope surgery; the operative time of microscope surgery [(30±7)] min was much shorter than that of otoscope surgery [(60±5)] min,with significant statistical difference. Conclusions Stapes prosthesis surgery with microscope, which has advantages of bimanualness, easiness, and short operative time, is much better than that with otoscope.Thus, microscope is still the preferred magnifying equipment in stapes prosthesis surgery.
