Objective To study the value of time intensity curve of contrast enhanced ultrasound in the discrimination of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. Methods Thirty-seven cases of soft tissue tumors were carried out contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. The region of interest in the dynamic images were chosen to carry out Gamma-Variate curve fitting through Q-LAB software and made a quantitative analysis. Then they were compared with pathological diagnosis to analyze the ultrasound imaging performance of benign and malignant tumors and their characteristics of micro-irrigation. Results Thirty-seven cases of soft tissue tumors were pathologically diagnosed 21 cases of benign and malignant in 16 cases. The perfusion of benign tumors were mainly uniformity (19/21) or potentialization (2/21). The perfusion of malignant tumors were mainly uniformity (10/16) or nonuniformity (6/16). There were no significant differences in time to peak(TTP) and arrival time of contrast agent(AT) between benign and malignant tumors( P >0.05). The upslope rate(A) and the derived peak intensity(DPI) in benign group were significantly less than malignant group ( P <0.05). Conclusions Time-intensity curve analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed that benign and malignant soft tissue tumors were different in perfusion,and it will be of a certain value for the clinical differential diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of personalized family doctor contract services on risk factors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in high-risk population.Methods:Ten matched-community health centers of Shenzhen Luohu district were divided into intervention group and control group by cluster randomiztion. Subjects with high risks of ASCVD were screened out as intervention group from contracted residents who visited these centers and had complete data of the China-PAR model from August 2018 to April 2019. The control group received conventional general family doctor contract services. The individualized management were given to the intervention group after fully understanding patients′ ideas, concerns, and expectations (ICE). After 2-year intervention, score changes of ASCVD risk factors within and between groups were compared.Results:A total of 571 patients were enrolled, including 288 in the intervention group and 283 in the control group. After 2 years of intervention, 7 and 18 were lost to follow-up in two groups, respectively. Finally, 281 in the intervention group and 265 in the control group were included in the study. At baseline, there was no significant difference in ASCVD scores between the intervention group and the control group [(13.33±3.54) vs. (13.09±3.54) points; t=0.84, P=0.403], and the scores in both groups decreased significantly after the intervention [(10.89±4.01), (11.62±4.11) points], while the intervention group decreased more significantly (both P<0.05). Among the risk factors at baseline, HDL-C and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, and there were no significant differences in other factors between the two groups. After the intervention, the levels of total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in the two groups decreased significantly, and the number of people taking antihypertensive drugs increased significantly ( P<0.001 and P<0.05); HDL-C decreased in the control group ( P=0.023). After the intervention, compared to control group the intervention group had a higher proportion of patients taking antihypertensive drugs, with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the increase rate of HDL-C in the intervention group was more than that in the control group, and the decrease rate was less than that in the control group (χ 2=6.65, P=0.036). Conclusion:Family doctor contract services can reduce the risk factors of ASCVD, and personalized family doctor contract services can further improve the effects in the prevention and control of ASCVD. However, the effects might be insignificant and inconsistent for the ASCVD risk factors with deeper management requirements or no specific management measures, which highlights the complexity and diversity of ASCVD prevention and control, calling for multi-level and multi-faceted thinking and exploration.
