Journal of Chinese Physician 2021;23(1):85-89
Objective:To explore the value of combined application of T2WI, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance dynamic enhanced scanning (DCE-MRI) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa).Methods:A total of 50 PCa patients received in the First People's Hospital of Pinghu from March 2015 to August 2018 were selected as the PCa group, 54 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the same period were selected as the BPH group for a cross-sectional study. Both groups of patients underwent conventional MR scans. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), exponential apparent diffusion coefficient (EADC), peak time (Tmax), peak intensity (SIpeak), signal enhancement rate (SER), maximum enhancement slope (MSI) and time signal intensity (TIC) curve types were compared between the two groups, and the differences between the cancerous and non cancerous foci were analyzed comprehensively. The results of T2WI, DWI and DCE-MRI were statistically analyzed, and the diagnostic efficacy of the three methods alone and combined in the diagnosis of PCA were compared.Results:The ADC value of PCa group was lower than that of BPH group, and the EADC value was higher than that of BPH group ( P<0.05); the Tmax value of the PCa group was lower than that of the BPH group, and the SER and MSI values were higher than those of the BPH group ( P<0.05); the proportion of type Ⅲ TIC curves in the PCa group (64.00%) was higher than that in the BPH group (14.81%), and the proportion of type Ⅱ TIC curves (24.00%) was lower than in the BPH group (66.67%, P<0.05); Conventional T2WI sequence diagnosed 32 cases of cancer, and 10 cases of BPH patients detected low signal in peripheral zone; DWI detected 34 cases of cancer, and 10 cases of BPH patients detected slightly high signal nodules in central gland area, ADC signal was slightly low, and 6 cases of hyperplastic peripheral zone high signal patchy shadow; DCE-MRI showed early obvious enhancement in 42 cases of 50 cases of PCA patients, and decreased rapidly or slowly, and 2 cases showed low peak in 54 cases of BPH, 10 cases of T2WI detected low signal area; 16 cases of DWI detected slightly high signal nodules, of which 8 cases of ADC showed slightly low signal; 46 cases showed early obvious enhancement and gradually increased, or showed platform enhancement; 8 cases of central proliferative nodules showed early obvious enhancement and early enhancement. The sensitivity (96.00%) and accuracy (92.31%) of T2WI, DWI and DCE-MRI in the diagnosis of PCA were higher than those of the three methods alone ( P<0.05). Conclusions:T2WI, DWI, DCE-MRI combined examination can obtain more comprehensive lesion information, significantly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of PCa diagnosis, and help to reduce missed diagnosis.

Objective Controversies remain as to the recovery time, recovery quality, and incidence of peri-recovery adverse reactions of the patient receiving general anesthesia with remifentanil and sufentanil.This study aimed to systematically assess the qual-ity of recovery from general anesthesia with remifentanil and sufentanil. Methods Randomized controlled trials ( RCTs) were re-trieved from The Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMbase, Ovid, Springer, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wan-Fang Data.According to the modified Jadad quality scale, the literature retrieved was screened and subjected to quality evaluation and meta-analysis was performed on the included studies using the RevMan 5.1 software. Results Thirty-three RCTs involving 2175 pa-tients were finally included.The results of meta-analysis showed no significant differences between the remifentanil and sufentanil groups undergoing thyroid surgery either in the recovery time to spontaneous breathing ( T1) and eye-opening ( T2) and endortracheal extubation time ( T3 ) ( P >0.05 ) or in the incidence rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (P>0.05).T1, T2 and T3 were significantly shorter in the sufentanil than in the remifentanil group in other types of surgery (P<0.05).The patients with level-1 Ramsay score were remarkably more in the remifentanil than in the sufentanil group ( MD =13.67, 95% CI 2.67 -69.91 ) ( P <0.05), and the VAS scores were markedly higher in the former than in the latter group at 30 minutes (MD=3.37, 95% CI 3.28-3.46) and 1 hour after extubation (MD=2.53, 95% CI 2.43 -2.63) (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with sufentanil, remifentanil provides a quicker recovery but a weaker analgesia effect and a higher rate of post-operative agitation.However, sufentanil produces a better pain relief and a higher quality of recovery after operation.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electro-acupuncture of Neiguan (PC 6) on mean systemic arterial blood pressure and plasmic concentrations of NO and TNFalpha in endotoxin shock rats. METHODS: The model of endotoxin shock was induced by lipopolysaccharide (1.5 mg/kg i.v.) and D-galactosamine (100 mg/kg i.p.). Aminoguanidine (100 mg/kg i.p.) and electro-acupuncture of bilateral Neiguan (PC 6) were administered. A catheter was inserted into the right subclavian artery to record the change of blood pressure and the blood was abstracted out and centrifuged to determine the NO and TNFalpha concentrations. RESULTS: Electro-acupuncture of Neiguan (PC 6) retrieved the blood pressure and reduced the plasmic NO and TNFalpha concentrations. CONCLUSION: Electro-acupuncture of Neiguan (PC 6) expresses an anti-endotoxin shock effect by repressing the plasmic NO and TNFalpha concentrations smoothly and retrieving the blood pressure stably.
