Objective:To evaluate non-enhanced MR imaging,static and dynamic enhanced MR imaging in differentiation of be-nign from malignant vertebral compression fractures and to evaluate which MR imaging parameters are most predictive of malignancy.Methods:Non-enhanced MR imaging,static and dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging were performed on 43 patients with acute osteoporotic compression fracture and 49 patients with malignant compression fracture proved by clinical follow-up and/or histologic findings.Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the best combination of MR imaging parameters that might be predictive of malignancy.Subjective overall performance of diagnostic models for sensitivi-ty,specificity and accuracy was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC).Results:Univariate analysis showed that the frequency distribution of MR imaging parameters including T1 weighted imaging homogeneity of vertebrae,convex pos-terior of vertebrae,retropulsion of the posterosuperior angle of vertebrae,pedicle involvement,epidural soft tissue mass,paraverte-bral soft tissue lesions,pattern of enhancement of vertebrae,pattern of enhancement of paravertebral soft tissue lesions,start of dynamic enhancement and pattern of time-intensity curve(TIC) were different between benign and malignant compression frac-ture(P0.05).ROC analysis showed that combined non-enhanced,static and dynamic enhanced MR imaging parameters(model 3) were superior to non-enhanced MR imaging pa-rameter(smodel 1)iction of malignancy.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of model 3 were 81.6%,90.7% and 85.9%,respec-tively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the most discriminating parameters were pedicle involvement,pattern of enhancement of vertebrae and pattern of TIC(OR value were 3.558,4.666 and 0.007,respectively,P

Objective To study the influence of aging and chemotherapeutic drugs of breast cancer patients on chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea (CIA) and to guide the further selection of drugs for chemotherapy.Methods We prospectively studied the CIA of the premenopausal breast cancer patients and compared the difference in CIA between the patients who were at different aging periods or received different chemotherapeutics. Results 137 patients were followed up.The occurrence rate of CIA and long-term chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea(LCIA)were 73.72%(101/137)and 43.80%(60/137)respectively.The rate of CIA and LCIA was significandy higher in older women(＞40 years)than young women(≤40 years,X2=25.32,18.42,P＜0.05).The recovery rate of CIA in young women was 61.90%(13/21)which was significantly higher than the older women[35.00%(28/80);X2=4.99,P=0.025].The difference in the rate of LCIA was statistically significant between the older women (＞40 years)who received different anthracyclinebased chemotherapy(X2=6.92,P=0.031).Conclusion Age is an important factor for the CIA.Chemotherapy has less influence on the menstruation of younger women(≤40) and most amenorrhea is reversible.For older women,the rate of LCIA is different in patients who receive imported epirubicin,domestic epirubicin or pirarubicin.

Objective To study the comparability of two personality diagnostic instruments(SCID-Ⅱ and PDQ-4)in psychiatric patients. Methods One hundred and twelve mental disorder patients were investigated with the SCID-Ⅱ and PDQ-4. Results 1)Significant differences were found between groups(dividing by total scores on PDQ-4)by means of SCID-Ⅱ interviews(P＜0. 0 1). 2)Categorical personality disorder(PD)groups by means of SCID-Ⅱ interviews had hisher scores on PDQ-4 than their related non-PD groups. 3)For agreement on categorical diagnoses between SCID-Ⅱ and PDQ-4, the correlation coefficients varied from 0. 17 to 0. 57. Except for antisocial PD(r=0. 57), the others had poor-fair coefficients, as r＜0. 50. Conclusions In general, there is some correlation between SCID-Ⅱ and PDQ-4. Low agreement between PDQ-4 and SCID-Ⅱ is observed for categorical PD evaluations. Thus, PDQ-4 can't be a substitute tool for SCID-Ⅱ.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of the C 2 “hypertrophic sign” in the axis fracture.Methods 37 cases with C 2 fracture confirmed by radiography,CT and operation partly retrospectively analysed,there were 29 men and 8 woman.After trauma all cases were examined by X-ray and 11 cases by CT scan.27 cases underwent operation.Results The incidence rate of the C 2 “hypertrophic sign” was 53.13%.This sign characterized by the distance increased between the anterior and posterior of the axis on the lateral conventional radiography compared with that of C 3 vertebrae.The maximal increasing distance was 11 mm and minimal one was 2.3 mm with average 4.3 mm.Fracture line and swollen soft tissue in front of the vertebra were showed in some cases.Conclusion The C 2 “hypertrophic sign” is main radiographic sign of C2 fracture.

Destroyed lung has resulted in the pathological changes of irreversible lung damage. The variety of reasons cause lobes of lung or the side of the whole lung loss of function and volume decrease. To the side of lung damage for patients.,it is necessary to take the whole side of surgical resection of lung disease at the right time Not only it can quickly alleviate the respiratory symptoms, but also can significantly improve the patients quality of life. Even some benign disease can be cured to achieve the purpose. Because of the extensive fibrosis of lung tissue loss of the affected lung function. Patients have varying degrees of shortness of breath and recurrent cough, cough purulent sputum, hemoptysis. Because of the thickened parietal pleura,those result in the effect of bad medical treatment. Most need surgical treatment, but the surgery cause perioperative patient physiological condition of interference, Major trauma surgical procedures, much more bleeding, and many and serious postoperative complications, those require a higher surgical technique. The article summed up the whole lung damage lung surgical methods and progress were reviewed.

To investigate the effects of Chinese herbs for replenishing qi (Yiqi) and dissolving stasis (Huayu) on substance P expression in granulation tissue of skin ulcers in rats with diabetes mellitus.

In this paper,the mini-implant as anchorage for orthodontic is described by application in closing the space following teeth extraction,distal movement of molars,posterior teeth intrusion,anterior teeth intrusion,scissors bite solving,unilateral maxillary expansion,induced eruption,upright and mesial movement of molars.In this way,we introduce the clinical normal application of mini-implant anchorage for orthodontist.

High resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) has become an indispensable tool for multidisciplinary teams addressing locally advanced rectal cancer.Preoperative HRMRI is accurate in predicting tumor stage and poor prognostic features,such as circumferential resection margin and extramural venous invasion,et al.HRMRI is a precise diagnostic tool to select who may benefit from neo-adjuvant therapy and to avoid over treatment in those patients who can proceed directly to surgery,thus achieving better prognosis and quality of life for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

The paper expounds the ethics problems caused by doctor's selling activities in consulting room,which means the conflicts between doctors and patients, purchase pressure implied in seeking medical ad vice, disgrace to the aim of medical service etc. Furthermore puts forward some suggestions about strengthening management, stopping doctors' selling activities:1. to curb doctors' selling activities in consulting room; 2. to formulate health law and regulations, standardize medical behavior; 3. to deepen health reformation, improve investment mechanism.
