Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy of nanometer high-frequency square pulse light technology targeting kidney cancer.Methods Fifty BALB/c nude mice were vaccinated with human ACHN cell line and randomly divided into 1 control group and 4 therapeutic groups.The 4 therapeutic groups were cured with high-frequency square pulse light and nanometer high-frequency square pulse light.The treatment cycle was 4 weeks.The tumor growth condition and tumor-repres-sion change were observed and compared.Results The tumor volumes of the control group in-creased obviously,whereas the tumor volumes of the therapeutic groups decreased obviously or in-creased gently.The mean tumor volume and the tumor growth curve of the therapeutic groups were significantly lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the therapeutic efficacy of the kidney cancer using high-frequency square pulse light and nanometer high-frequency square pulse light(P＞0.05).Synteresis of kidney carcinogenesis experiments results indicated that using high-frequency square pulse light and nanometer high-frequency square Dulse light could prevent the production and development of the kidney cancer(P＜0.05),but the svnteresis efficacy of the 2 methods had no obvious difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Using highfrequency square pulse light and nanometer high-frequency square pulse light can cure the kidney cancer and,to some extent,prevent the production and development of kidney cancer.

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a member of the Entero-virus genus of the Picornaviridae family and is the major cause of Hand,foot,and mouth disease (HFMD) in children.Different strains from Gansu were cloned and the P1 protein was sequenced and analysed.Results indicate that there are three kinds of EV71 infections prevalent in Gansu.The VP1 protein from one of these strains,55F,was expressed.The recombinant protein was expressed with high level and reacted specifically with the EV71 patient antibody,the recombinant protein was also applied to raise antiserum in rabbits and after the fourth injection a high titer of antiserum was detected by ELISA assay.These data are useful for further clarification of prevalent EV71 strains in the north of China at the molecular level and provide a basis for EV71 diagnosis.

Objective To analyze the imaging features and to enhance the understanding of pancreatic and renal involvement in yon Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD). Methods CT and MRI appearances and clinical data of six patients with pancreatic and renal involvement in VHLD were studied retrospectively.Six patients underwent CT scanning, and two of them also had MRI.Results Pancreatic cysts found in all six patients varied from several small cysts to cystic replacement of the entire gland.Calcifications were detected in four patients. Multiple bilateral renal lesions were detected in six patients.The renal lesions were classified as cystic, cystic with solid components and solid.Multiple combined renal lesions were found in five patients, and multiple simple cysts in one patient.Unilateral nephrectomy was performed in two patients, and the renal masses were diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma by pathology.Bile carcinoid was found in one patient, and retroperitoneal metastasis in another.Conclusion Multiple pancreatic cysts and/or multiple and bilateral combined renal lesions are highly suggestive of VHLD.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of discriminant function analysis for pericolic infiltration in colorectal cancer on enhanced 64-slice spiral CT and to improve the diagnostic accuracy and specificity of pericolic infiltration. Methods Dynamic enhanced 64-slice spiral CT was performed in 49 colorectal cancer patients (49 masses in total) before surgery. One or two slices were selected for each mass, with a total of 96 slices. The 96 slices were classified into two groups (pericolic infiltration or nonpericolic infiltration group) according to pathological data. Discriminant analysis was performed on the CT values between the mass and the corresponding pericolic tissue 5 mm from the mass at different time points as follows; 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 s. The discriminant function was calculated, and the pericolic infiltration determined by discriminant function and CT morphology were compared with the pathological results. The CT values in pericolic and non-pericolic infiltration groups at different enhancement time points were assessed using analysis of variance. Results The mean CT values ranged from (43. 6 ±7. 8) HU to (52. 3 ±0. 8) HU in the pericolic infiltration group, and ranged from (100.4±20.3)HU to(116.2±21.4)HU in the non.perieolic infiltration group.At 20 s and 40 s,the mean CT vshle8 were(43.6±27.8)HU and(50.9±27.8)HU in the perleolic infiltration group, (102.0±16.9)HU and(116.2 ±21.4)HU in the non-perieolic infiltration group,respectively.The mean CT value in the pericolic infiltration group was significantly lower than that in the non-pericolic infiltration group at all contrast enhancement time points(F=6.278,P<0.01).A diseriminant function Was obtained as follows:D=-3.450+0.023Xl±0.017X2-0.00lX12-0.001X22+0.002X1×X2. Based on the CT morphology of colorectal cancer,69 slices were identified correctly and 27 slices were fulsely interpreted.the sensitivity.speeificity and accuracy for perieolic infiltration determination were 82.5%,64.3%and 71.9%.respectively.Based on diseriminant function,85 slices were identified correctly and 11 slices were falsely interpreted.the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 85.0%.91.1%and 88.5%,respectively.Conclusion The discriminant function with dynamic enhanced 64-slice spiral CT can improve the diagnostic accuracy and specificity of perieolic infiltration in eolorectal cancer patients.

Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare germ cell neoplasm of childhood that usually arises from the testis or ovary. The rare cases of YST in various extragonadal locations have been reported, but the primary intrarenal YST is even more uncommon. Here, we report a case of a primary intrarenal YST with tumor thrombus of the inferior vena cava and left renal vein in a 2-year-old boy, with an emphasis on the CT features. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an intrarenal YST with intravascular involvement.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of comprehensive application of CT and PET/CT in differential diagnosing mucinous and non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma.

METHODSCT and PET/CT image data of 37 patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma and 50 patients with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Differences of image were compared between two methods.

RESULTSOn CT, lesion density of pre-contrast, pro-contrast phase and enhancement degree were significantly lower in mucinous adenocarcinoma than those in non-mucinous adenocarcinoma(all P<0.01). Enhancement degree of hypointense area, hypointense area proportion of total lesion, and lymphatic or distant metastasis ratio were significantly higher in mucinous adenocarcinoma than those in non-mucinous adenocarcinoma(all P<0.05). On PET/CT, maximal SUV value of mucinous adenocarcinoma was significantly lower as compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma[(8.64±4.34) Bq/L vs. (12.38±5.96) Bq/L, P=0.015].

CONCLUSIONSCT combined with PET/CT provides better valuable information in differential diagnosing between mucinous and non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma and clinical practice.

Objective:To compare the suicidality risk in major depressive disorder (MDD)patients with and without anxious characteristics,and analyze the risk factors of suicidality in MDD patients. Methods:This was a secondary analysis of the data from the Diagnostic Assessment Service for people with Bipolar Disorders in China (DASP),which was initiated by the Chinese Society of Psychiatry (CSP),from September 1,2010 to February 28, 201 1. Based on the anxious module and suicide module of Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M. I. N. I),1 172 MDD patients were classified as suffering from anxious MDD (n=728,62. 1%)and non-anxious MDD(n=444,37. 9%). Logistic regression was employed to examine the risk factors of suicidality in MDD pa-tients. Results:Among the anxious MDD patients,331 (45. 5%)of them had suicidality risk. And 54(12. 2%)of non-anxious MDD patients had suicidality risk. Compare to the non-anxious group,the anxious MDD patients had significantly higher suicidality risk (P<0. 00 1 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that more frequent depressive episodes (OR=2. 07 ),depressive episodes with psychotic symptoms (OR=2. 0 1 ),comorbid with anxious charac-teristics (OR=3. 18)or melancholic characteristics (OR=2. 90)were associated with suicidality risk in patients with MDD. Conclusion:It indicates that the anxious MDD patients may have higher suicidality risk than non-anx-ious MDD patients,and more frequent depressive episodes,depressive episodes with psychotic symptoms,comorbid with anxious characteristics or melancholic characteristics may be risk factors of suicidality in patients with MDD.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics related to sui?cide risk in misdiagnosed bipolar disorderⅡ(BPⅡ) treated for major depressive disorder. Methods A total of l478 con?secutive major depressive disorder patients were interviewed with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) in 13 major mental health centers in China. Of the 1478 patients, 190 patients were diagnosed BPⅡ, who were divided into two groups (nonsuicidal risk and suicidal risk) with the suicidality module of MINI. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate significant risk factors associated with suicide risk in misdiagnosed BPⅡtreated for major depres?sive disorder. Results Of the 190 patients, 116 were in the nonsuicidal risk group and 74 were in the suicidal risk group. In comparison to the nonsuicidal risk group, the suicidal risk group had younger age [(34.45 ± 11.18) vs.(37.23 ± 13.22), P=0.008], earlier age at onset [(26.20 ± 9.16) vs. (30.37 ± 11.59), P=0.007], and more suicidal ideation (82.4%vs. 53.4%, P=0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=0.969,95% CI:0.945~0.993) and depressive epi?sodes with suicidal ideation (OR=4.129,95%CI:2.030~8.397) were significantly associated with suicide risk in patients of misdiagnosed BPⅡtreated for major depressive disorder (P<0.05). Conclusions Younger age, severer suicidal ide?ation may be potential independent risk factors to suicide risk in BPⅡwith misdiagnosed with major depressive disor?der.

Objective To explore the attempted suicide risk factors of socio-demographic and clinical charac-teristics in major depressive disorder patients with atypical features (e.g. increased appetite, weight gain and greater time spent sleeping). Methods This was a secondary analysis of the data from the Diagnostic Assessment Service for People with Bipolar Disorders in China (DASP), which was initiated by the Chinese Society of Psychiatry (CSP) and carried out in 13 major mental health centers in China. Totally 179 patients were diagnosed as atypical major depres-sive disorder patients in all 1172 major depressive disorder patients using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, Fourth Edition (DSM-Ⅳ) by psychiatrists. Suicide attempters and nonattempters were grouped base on the interview results of suicidality module of the Mini International Neuro-psychiatric Interview (MINI). Multiple logistic regression were used to assess association between independent variables and attempted suicide in major depressive disorder patients with atypical features. Results The rater of attempted snicide was 23.5% (42/179) of atypical major depressive disorder patients reported prior or current attempted suicide. Compared to nonattempters, attempters had higher levels of suicidal ideation, postpartum depressive episodes, and the use of antipsychotic, mood stabilizers and benzodiazepines (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that number of admissions (OR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.093~2.740) and depressive episodes with suicidal ideation (OR=3.90, 95%CI: 1.506~10.092) were significantly associat-ed with attempted suicide in atypical unipolar depression patients (P<0.05). Conclusions High number of admissions and high levels of suicidal ideation may be considered as potential risk factors to identify atypical unipolar depression patients at risk for future suicidal behavior.
