Purpose CT spectroscopy imaging was used in the preoperative differentiation evaluation of renal clear cell carcinoma, to access its malignant degree preoperatively, and to guide the operation treatment. Materials and Methods The spectral characteristics of 40 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC) were analyzed retrospectively, all the RCCC patients underwent gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) scans, to obtain spectral serial images for the arterial phase and medulla phase. Spectral characteristic parameters and spectrum curve between different grades of renal cell carcinoma was compared, and the results were compared with pathology. Results Among the 40 cases of patients, carcinoma of grade I, II and III were 13 cases, 15 cases and 12 cases respectively. CT value ratio of renal clear cell carcinoma of grade I, II and III under 70 keV were 1.17±0.25, 0.84±0.85 and 0.64±0.19 (F=23.697, P<0.05) in arterial phase and 0.83±0.12, 0.64±0.07 and 0.54±0.08 (F=30.975, P<0.05) in medulla phase;iodine concentration ratio was 1.19±0.40, 0.60±0.10 and 0.25±0.94 (F=32.932, P<0.05) in arterial phase, and 0.69±0.18, 0.43±0.94 and 0.26±0.51 (F=28.673, P<0.05) in medulla phase. Spectrum curve slope of renal clear cell carcinoma of grade I, II, III in arterial phase was 4.00±1.24, 2.16±0.95 and 0.92±0.64 (F=23.392, P<0.05), and 3.54±1.20, 2.70±0.71 and 1.20±0.44 (F=24.272, P<0.05) in medulla phase. Differences of water concentration in arterial and medulla phase between renal clear cell carcinoma with different grade were not statistically signiifcant (P>0.05). Conclusion The differences of CT value, energy spectrum curve slope, iodine value under CT spectroscopy single energy imaging between renal clear cell carcinoma with different nuclear grade were statistically signiifcant, which can be expected to provide the basis for preoperative therapy selection.

Objective To investigate the application of respiratory navigator echo triggered black blood contrast FSE in cardiac MRI. Methods The respiratory navigator echo trigger technique combining with black blood FSE (NAV-FSE) was tested on 11 volunteers and 5 patients in free breathing,using breath-hold FSE (BH-FSE) with the same imaging protocals as control. The imaging efficiency and the image sharpness were compared between NAV-FSE and BH-FSE and t-test was used for the statistics. Results All NAV-FSE acquisitions were completed in sixteen subjects while 4 BH-FSE acquisitions failed because of poor breath holding. The efficiencies of NAV-FSE were (42. 95±11.50)%, (56. 14±11.40)% and (55.25± 14. 70)% when echo train length (ETL) were 24, 16 and 8, respectively. When ETL were 16 and 24, the sharpness of NAV-FSE ( 0. 43±0. 02 vs 0. 36±0. 02 ) and BH-FSE ( 0. 36±0. 03 vs 0. 35±0. 02 ) were statistically different (t =4. 26, 5. 53 ,respectively; P <0. 05). NAV-FSE could have a shorter ETL setting without consideration of breath holding. Conclusion The navigator echo trigger technique could be compatible with black blood contrast FSE to image the heart without the restriction of breath holding and it allows to optimize the parameters to improve the image quality.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of combining the sedation performed by propofol targeted concentration in-fusion with epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing total pelvic floor reconstruction.Methods A total of 80 eligible patients were recruited and were assigned randomly into the study group(n=40)and the control group(n=40).All patients in both groups were administered epidural anesthesia with the puncture and catheter placing in the space between the 2nd-3rd lumbar vertebras.After the epidural anesthesia,patients in the study group were administered propofol by targeted concentration infusion (TCI)system. The plasma concentration of propofol was modulated to obtain the BIS maintaining between 65-80,and the OAA/S maintaining at 3 scores.The propofol was continuously infused until closing the incision.Values of HR,MAP at different time points in the opera-tion were recorded,and the plasma concentrations of propofol,the incidences of adverse events were recorded.Results The HR and MAP of patients in the study group decreased at T1 (given the anesthetic),T2 (the beginning of the operation),T3 (the beginning of the operation),compared with those at T0 (before the anesthetic)and T4 (30 min after the operation)(P <0.05).The HR and MAP of patients in the control group elevated at T2 ,T3 ,compared with those at T0 and T4 (P <0.05).The HR of study group at T1 ,T2 , T3 and the MAP at T2 were lower than those in control group.In study group,two asphyxia patients were founded.The incidence of shivering in the study group was lower than that in control group (P =0.014).No statistical difference was found in the incidences of other adverse event between this two groups (P >0.05).BIS of study group was (73.3 ±4.8)-(76.1 ±3.4),and the plasma concentrations of propofol was(1.32 ± 0.29 )μg/mL - (1.52 ± 0.26 )μg/mL.Conclusion The combination of propofol sedation performed by TCI and epidural anesthesia could be safely and effectively used in patients undergoing total pelvic floor reconstruc-tion.

·AIM: To determine whether a combined scleral buckle and pars plana vitrectomy, as a primary surgery, owns any advantage over a single scleral buckling in pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachments.·METHODS: Thirty consecutive pseudophakic/aphakic retinal deachments were included in this retrospective study. Each patient underwent combined scleral buckle and pars plana vitrectomy, and was followed up for 3 to 14 months. Patients were examined with respect to anatomic reattachment, visual acuity improvement, and surgical complications.·RESULTS: All eyes were anatomically reattached after the first operation. All patients had an increase in their visual acuity, and there were no complications attributable to the vitrectomy procedure.·CONCLUSION: A combined surgery for primary pseudophakic/aphakic retinal detachments offers significant benefits to scleral buckling alone. The improved uccess rate is contributing to the function of vitrectomy, which improves peripheral visibility and reduces the occurrence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).

AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser photocoagulation for retinal breaks before laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in myopic eyes.METHODS: From April 2000 to April 2004, totally 1 845 eyes ( 1 233 patients ) requesting LASIK had a fundus examination with indirect ophthalmoscopy before the surgery. They were divided into two groups according to the presence (Group 1) or absence of retinal breaks (Group 2). All patients with retinal breaks, though they were asymptomatic, underwent prophylactic laser photocoagulation to seal the breaks before LASIK.RESULTS: Patient age ranged from 18 to 43 ( 25.3±5.7) yaers old. Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction (PSER) was -7.44± 2.13 D (range, -1.50 to -14.50 D). Retinal breaks were identified and treated in 37eyes (2.05%) of 32 patients;1 808 eyes of 1 201 patients had no retinal breaks. No statistical difference was found in age ( P ＞0.05) or gender (P ＞0.05) between the two groups. Significant difference of PSER was noted between Group 1 (-9.41± 4.15D) and Group 2 (-7.52±3.71D) (P＜0.05). During a mean 14mo follow-up, none of the patients developed retinal detachment.CONCLUSION: The efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser photocoagulation for retinal breaks was confirmed.Retinal breaks should be identified and treated by photocoagulation in eyes before LASIK for myopia.
