1.The correlation between diabetes and pancreatic cancer and the imaging findings
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;(11):1223-1227
Diabetes mellitus ( DM) is widely considered to be associated with pancreatic cancer ( PC) .Some studies have shown that DM has been recognized as a risk factor for PC and the early clinical manifestation of PC , however the exact relationship re-mains unclear .The conventional imaging techniques and molecular imaging techniques can evaluate the abnormal condition during the occurrence and development of PC and diabetes .This article will review the correlation between PC and DM and the potential molecular mechanism, such as hyperglycemia, insulin-like growth factors, oxidative stress, islet amyloid polypeptide and Kruppel sample factorⅡgene mutations, etc.In addition, the value of imaging diagnosis for PC and DM is also reviewed .

Objective To evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic ability and applicability of ~(18)F-FDG PET/CT and the LungCare soft-ware of dual source CT in solitary pulmonary nodule(SPN). Methods 28 patients with SPN proved by pathologically were examined by ~(18)F-FDG PET/CT and LungCare software of dual source CT. ~(18)F-FDG PET/CT and LungCare software of dual source CT data were analysed comparatively in terms of the diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing malignant and benign. All data were analyzed for significance by using the χ~2-test,the value of P<0.05 was accepted as significance. Results There were 15 malignant and 9 benign nodules. In evaluating SPN,the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 80.0% ,88.8% ,83.3%,92.3% and 72.7% with ~(18)F-FDG PET/aT respectively,and 93.3% ,77.7% ,87.5%,87.5% and 87.5% with LungCare software, respectively. To evaluate SPN,LungCare software and ~(18)F-FDO PET/CT was not significant difference in accuracy(P>0.05) ,while there were significant differences in sensitivity , specificity , positive and negative predictive value (P< 0.05). The sensitivity and negative predictive values with~(18)F-FDG PET/aT were much better than that with LungCare software, but the specificity and positive predictive values were less than that with LungCare software. Conclusion ~(18)F-FDG PET/CT has certain auxiliary function in distinguishing benign SPN from malignant SPN,it combining with LungCare software , the accuracy of diagnosis can be improved.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of computed tomography,X ray enterography and digestive endoscopy for intestinal Crohn's disease in active and chronic phase.Methods The clinical data of 39 patients with Crohn's disease who were admitted to the Subei People's Hospital from June 2008 to August 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the active phase group (28 patients) and the chronic phase group (11 patients).The results of computed tomography,X ray enterography and digestive endoscopy of the 2 groups were compared.The accuracy of the 3 diagnostic methods was assessed by consulting the operative findings.The enumeration data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results The incidences of intestinal wall stratification,intesitnal edema strap,severe enhancement,ulcers,intestinal stenosis,intestinal fistula,phlegmon,swollen lymph nodes and comb sign in patients with active phase of Crohn's disease were significantly higher than those with chronic phase of Crohn's disease (x2 =10.700,3.954,22.025,7.661,10.700,7.661,6.810,7.661,4.592,P<0.05).The incidences of intestinal wall thickening,intramural fat,mild enhancement,unenhancement,inflammatory polyps,abscesses and inflammatory masses in patients with chronic phase of Crohn's disease were significantly higher than those with active phase of Chrohn's disease (x2=17.475,11.345,18.050,5.366,22.856,12.662,5.846,P < 0.05).Computed tomography was effective in detecting intestinal wall thickening and extraintestinal complications of Crohn's disease,but it was difficult in demonstrating ulcers and inflammatory polyps.X ray enterography and digestive endoscopy were effective in detecting ulcers and inflammatory polyps,but they were difficult in detecting intestinal wall thickening and extraintestinal complications of Crohn's disease.Conclusion Computed tomography combined with X ray enterography and digestive endoscopy is helpful in demonstrating the presentations of Crohn's disease in active and chronic phase.

Objective To evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic ability and applicability of the Lung Care software of dualsource CT in the study of solitary pulmonary nodule(SPN). Methods 40 cases with SPN proved by pathologically were examined by dual-source CT. R-MPR and VOI of Lung Care software three-dimension rebuilding image were obtained to analyze imaging features of SPN and compared with routine chest CT. 20 cases had regular visits during 12 months which were divided into three stages to measure the growing speed or doubling time. Results There were 28 cases of malignant nodules and 12 cases of benign nodules in 40 cases of SPN. The accuracy for malignancy of routine chest CT and LungCare software three-dimension rebuilding are 53.57% ,82.14% respectively. The accuracy for benign nodules is 41.67%,83.33% respectively.

Objective: To study the technological parameters of the purification process of ginsenosides with macroreticular resin. Methods: The adsorptive characteristics and elutive parameters of the process were studied by taking the elutive and purified ratio of ginsenosides as marker. Results: 45ml of the extractive of ginseng (5.88mg/ml) was purified with a column of macroreticular resin (R15mm?H90mm, dried weight 2.52g) and washed with 100ml of distilled water, then eluted with 100ml of 50% ethanol. Conclusion: With macroreticular resin to adsorb and purify, the elutive ratio of ginsenosides was above 90% and the purity reached 60.1%. So this process of applying macroreticular resin to adsorb and purify ginsenosides is feasible.
