Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the oral contrast-enhanced three-dimensional spiral CT cholangiography to display better the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Methods Before spiral CT scanning, the preparation was similar to the conventional X-ray oral cholecystography. The collected parameters included 3-5 mm slice, 1 or 1.5 pitch, 120 kV, 220-250 mAs, and 1 mm reconstruction image. Volume rendering was used to construct the 3D bile duct images. Results In the 20 patients without serious biliary obstruction, oral three-dimensional CT cholangiography displayed the grade Ⅰ branch of hepatic ducts clearly and the displaying rate was 100%. The displaying of the grade Ⅱ branch of hepatic ducts was not good enough and the rate was 60%. The grade Ⅲ branch of hepatic ducts could not be displayed. Conclusion As the substitute and supplement of invasive ERCP, spiral CT 3D cholangiography is safe, simple, painless, and non-invasive. Furthermore, spiral CT 3D cholangiography can display the space structure of bile duct tree more clearly than ERCP. This technique is of great clinical value.

Background:Nipple discharge cytology is a simple non-invasive method that may provide valuable information for detecting underlying malignancy.Several studies have investigated the diagnostic value of cytology in breast cancer patients with pathological nipple discharge,but the results have been highly variable.Herein we presented a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies pertaining to the diagnostic capacity of nipple discharge cytology in patients with breast cancer.Methods:A systematic literature search was performed (Medline/PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library databases,and Google Scholar) to identify studies that investigated the diagnostic capacity of cytology with regard to breast cancer in patients with pathologic nipple discharge.Two independent researchers identified articles that assessed the sensitivity and specificity of cytological evaluation for breast cancer detection in patients with pathologic nipple discharge published between January 2000 and October 2018.Articles were only included in the meta-analysis if they met predetermined criteria.The characteristics of each study and the data they yielded were summarized.Quality assessment of all articles included was performed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies Criteria (MINORS) and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Study 2 (QUADAS-2).Heterogeneity was tested via Cochran Q test and the I2 statistic using Stata 12.0 and Meta-DiSc 1.4 software,and meta-analysis was performed.Results:A total of 286 articles were identified,of which 12 articles including a total of 1476 patients were deemed eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis.A random-effects model assessing the capacity of nipple discharge cytology to predict breast cancer yielded pooled sensitivity 63% (95% confidence interval [CI]:53%-72%),specificity 95% (95% CI:87%-98%),positive likelihood ratio 12.35 (95 % CI:4.87-31.34),and negative likelihood ratio 0.39 (95 % CI:0.30-0.50).The diagnostic odds ratio was 31.88 (95% CI:11.30-89.98).The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.79 (95% CI:0.75-0.82).Conclusion:The current meta-analysis suggests that nipple discharge cytology is a useful diagnostic modality for detection of breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge,with moderate sensitivity and high specificity.

Objective To explore, the effect of different dosage of pulmonary surfactant (PS) on the inci-dence of bronchopulmanary dysplasia. Method Four hundred and three premature infants with hyaline membrane disease were divided into 3 groups according to the dose of PS: low-dose group (L-PS group, ≤ 100 mg/kg, n =188) ,high-dose group(H-PS group, > 100 mg/kg, n = 94) and no-PS group (N-PS group, n = 121). The frac-tional inspired oxygen(FiO2) and ptlmonary oxygenating function before and after 6 hours treatment were observed and the durations of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation, frequency of repeated intubafion, length of hospi-talization and the incidence of BPD were compared among the three groups. Results After 6 hours PS administra-tion, the FiO2,oxygen index and duration of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation were significantly decreased (P <0.05), while PO2 and the arterio-alveolar partial pressure of oxygen were significantly increased (P <0.05)in the H-PS and L-PS groups, compared with the N-PS group. Compared with the L-PS and N-PS groups,the H-PS group showed a decreased incidence of BPD. Conclusions PS administration could improve the pul-monary oxygenation and prevent the development of BPD, especially in high-dose.

Genetic mutations are important molecular biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and surveillance.Therefore,the development of methods for mutation detection characterized with straightforward,highly specific and sensitive to low-level mutations within various sequence contexts is extremely needed.Although some of the currently available methods have shown very encouraging results,their discrimination efficiency is still very low.Herein,we demonstrate a fluorescent probe coupled with blocker and property of melting temperature discrimination,which is able to identify the presence of known or unknown single-base variations at abundances down to 0.1% within 20 min.The discrimination factors between the perfect-match target and single-base mismatched target are determined to be 10.15-38.48.The method is sequence independent,which assures a wide range of application.The new method would be an ideal choice for high-throughput in vitro diagnosis and precise clinical treatment.
