Objective To evaluate the value of ~(99m)Tc-MIBI tumoraffin imaging,computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in the diagnosis of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) after radiotherapy.Methods The ~(99m)Tc-MIBI tumoraffin imaging,CT and MRI were performed in 78 NPC postradiotherapy patients,including 38 patients with local recurrence and 40 patients with radiofibrosis confirmed by pathology and follow-up.Results The sensitivity of ~(99m)Tc-MIBI tumoraffin imaging(73.7%) was lower than that of CT(94.7%) and MRI(92.1%).The specificity of ~(99m)Tc-MIBI tumoraffin imaging(92.5%) was obviously higher than that of CT(62.5%) and MRI(67.5%).There was no significant difference in the accuracy between three imaging examination methods.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the combination of three imaging examination methods in the diagnosis of recurrent NPC after radiotherapy were 97.4%,95% and 96.2%,respectively.Conclusion The ~(99m)Tc-MIBI tumoraffin imaging has higher specificity in the diagnosis of recurrent NPC after radiotherapy.The diagnostic accuracy may be further improved with the combination of three methods.

Objective To explore the dynamic change and clinical signiticance of plasma D-damer level in patients with cerebral hemorrhage and acute craniocerebral injury.Methods 50 patients with cerebral hemorrhage and 40 patients with acute craniocerebral injury were selected,The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure plasma D-dimer level in two groups of patients after onset,and the results were compared with 40 healthy controls.Results The levels of plasma D-dimer in the patients with cerebral hemorrhage were 1.59mg/L,2.10mg/L,1.03 mg/L,0.82mg/L at 3 h,6h,12h,2d after onset,which in the patients with acute craniocerebral injury were 1.61mg/L,2.02mg/L,1.01mg/L and 0.67mg/L,respectively.And the plasma D-dimer levels were 0.50mg/L,0.49mg/L,0.47mg/L,0.48mg/L in the control group at 3h,6h,12h and 2d after onset.The levels of plasma D-dimer in the patients with acute craniocerebral injury were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (t =9.35,12.17,4.03,3.05,all P < O.05).At 7d after onset,the D-dimer levels in the cerebral hemorrhage group and acute craniocerebral injury group were 0.53mg/L,0.55mg/L,respectively,which of the control group was 0.47mg/L,there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups(P > 0.05).Conclusion Cerebral hemorrhage patients and acute craniocerebral injury patients have high coagulation and fibrinolytic activity in brief increase trend,dynamic observation of plasma D-dimer level in patients with cerebral hemorrhage and acute craniocerebral injury is helpful to determine courses,condition and evaluate prognosis.
