Objective To analyze the changes of the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer accompanied with dyspnea before and af?ter methylprednisolone therapy,so as to investigate the effects of methylprednisolone on the quality of life of the patients. Methods Totally 134 ad?vanced lung cancer patients with dyspnea were divided into two groups,the methylprednisolone group and the control group,according to whether they consented to the use of hormone therapy. All of them were followed with visual analog scale(VAS),the quality of life questionnaire?core 30 (EORTC QLQ?C30)and the quality of life questionnaire?lung cancer module 13(QLQ?LC13)questionnaire. Results At one hour after treatment compared to before treatment,the VAS scores for both groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the score for the methylprednisolone group were lower than the control group(P<0.05). At two weeks after treatment compared to before treatment,social function,emotional function, and overall quality of life scores for both groups were decreased(P<0.05). But the scores of pain,dyspnea,insomnia,loss of appetite,constipation, dysphagia were increased(P<0.05). Compared to the methylprednisolone group,the dyspnea and pain score for the control group was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Methylprednisolone may improve the quality of life of advanced lung cancer patients with dyspnea in short term and slow down the deteriorating process of their quality of life.

Chinese Journal of Radiology 2000;0(12):-
Objective To discuss mammographic findings and pathologic foundation of the fat necrosis of the breast and to improve the imaging diagnosis of the fat necrosis of the breast. Methods The mammographic findings of 91 cases with pathologically proved breast fat necrosis were retrospectively analyzed, of which 2 cases were bilateral breast fat necrosis, and a comparison with pathological results was made. Results The mammographic findings included (1)No abnomal mammographic findings (n=14, 15.4%);(2) Single and multiple lipid-cysts (n=6, 6.6%);(3) Masses (n=20, 22.0%), of which 1 case was bilateral breast mass;(4) Nodules (n=13, 14.3%);(5) Focal opacities like stars or pieces in the subcutaneous fat layer (n=28, 30.8%), of which 1 case was bilateral breast lesion;(6) Faint reticular opacity in the subcutaneous fat layer (n=5, 5.5%);(7) Structure distortion (n=5, 5.5%). The location of the liesions:(1) 55 lesions located in fat layer;(2) 13 lesions standed out to the fat layer or located the boundary of the fat layer and breast parenchyma. When routine mammography demonstrated the disease located the boundary of the fat layer and breast parenchyma, there will be helpful with tangent location mammography to show the disease in the subcutaneous fat layer;(3) 9 lesions located in the breast parenchyma;(4) 14 lesions did not find abnormity in the mammography. The pathologic appearance (1) A lipid cyst is the characteristic mammographic finding in the early stage of the lesion;(2) Asymmetry density masses or nodules in the subcutaneous fat layer is the characteristic mammographic finding in the metaphase stage of the lesion, which hinted necrotic fatty tissue gradually be replaced by fibrous tissue;(3) Focal opacities like stars and irregular reticulation findings in the subcutaneous fat layer or superficial layer adenoid tissues are the characteristic mammographic findings in the later stage of the lesion, which hinted that necrotic fatty tissue was licked up, circumference remained some fibrous tissue.The mammographic findings of the different pathological stages often appear in the same time. Conclusion The mammographic findings of fat necrosis of breast was different in its different stage. The mammography is very helpful for making the diagnosis of breast fat necrosis.

Objective To explore the effects of different infants-feeding patterns on preschoolers' physical development, intelligence development and bone mineral density (BMD). Methods A total of 953 preschoolers from seven cities and two rural areas in China were recruited by multiple stage stratified cluster sampling methods from November 2011 to April 2012. Physiology measurement was performed to get their height and weight and to calculate body mass index(BMI). BMD of distal radius was measured by ultrasound BMD scanner. The intelligence quotient was assessed by Standford-Binet Test of Intelligence(Chinese Version). The demographic factors and the feeding ways were investigated by an interviewer-administered questionnaire and all subjects were divided into three groups : exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and artificial feeding group. ANOVA analysis, Chi-square test and non-parametric test were used to analyze the data. Results There were 476, 335 and 142 children in exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and artificial feeding groups, respectively. The exclusive breastfeeding rate in urban areas was significantly lower than that in rural areas [47.2%(343/726) vs 58.6%(133/227), χ2=9.780, P=0.008]. The height-for-age Z score and weight-for-age Z score were significantly different among children with different feeding ways (χ2=10.728 and 12.175, P=0.005 and 0.002). The children in the exclusive breast feeding group showed lower height-for-age Z score and lower weight-for-age Z score comparing with those in the mixed feeding and artificial feeding groups (all P<0.05). The value of speed of sound of BMD was significantly different among exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and artificial feeding groups [(3 640.2±142.0) vs (3 613.9±141.9) and (3 613.4±143.0) m/s, F=3.946, P=0.020], and that in the exclusive breastfeeding group was higher than in the mixed feeding group (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in BMI-for-age Z score, intelligence score and food allergy rate and food intolerance rate among the three groups(all P>0.05). Conclusions Feeding patterns during the first several months after birth may affect the weight, height and BMD in preschool-children, but not the intelligence development of these children.
