Objective To explore the clinical value of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of isolated calf muscle vein thrombosis (ICMVT). Methods Sonographic features of 175 patients with isolated calf muscular venous thrombosis were analyzed retrospectively and outcome of anticoagulant therapy in 1, 3, and 6 months was followed up. Diagnosis was established with high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound examination. Results One hundred and seventy-ifve patients presenting with 190 calf muscle vein thrombosis were included. One hundred and iffty-eight cases with 173 calf muscle vein thrombosis were diagnosed by high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound, 7 cases of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis in 10 cases. The accuracy rate was 91.1%(173/190). Seven cases were misdiagnosed with 1 euroifbromatosis, 1 mixed hemangioma, 5 gastrocnemius hematoma. After diagnosis of ICMVT, all patients prescribed thrombolysis and anticoagulation therapy. High-frequency color Doppler ultrasound for 1, 3, 6 months after treatments revealed partial or complete recanalization without calf deep vein thrombosis. Typical sonographic features included:calf muscle venous lumen dilation, tortuous anechoic lumen or hypoechoic iflling, with tubular or branched shape in the longitudinal view and oval or round shape in the transversal view. Conclusion High-frequency color Doppler ultrasound is an accurate and reliable method in the diagnosis of the isolated calf muscular venous thrombosis.

There was statistically signiifcant difference between the two groups (t=2.457, 2.459, 2.321, all P<0.05). AT of no stenosis group in common femoral artery, femoral artery, superficial, popliteal artery stent respectively were (84.98±13.77) ms, (87.33±16.36) ms, (90.77±12.05) ms. AT of normal control group in common femoral artery, femoral artery, superficial, popliteal artery respective were (78.23±21.24) ms, (82.31±18.24) ms, (84.29±23.01) ms. There was no statistically signiifcant difference between the two groups (t=1.696, 1.904, 1.835, all P>0.05). PSV of restenosis group in proximal part, restenosis part, distal part respectively were (87.67±23.34) cm/s, (218.17±72.09) cm/s, (54.13±21.23) cm/s. PSV of no stenosis group in proximal part, inner stents, distal part respectively were (91.71±25.59) cm/s, (131.11±45.67) cm/s, (96.44±32.87) cm/s. There was statistically significant difference between restenosis part/inner stents, distal part (t=3.412, 3.511, both P<0.05). There was no statistically signiifcant difference between the two groups in proximal part (t=1.901, P>0.05). AT of restenosis group in proximal part, restenosis part, distal part respectively were (98.31±14.09) ms, (109.54±21.03) ms, (158.23±45.21) ms. AT of no stenosis group in proximal part, inner stents, distal part respectively were (84.98±13.77) ms, (86.34±19.36) ms, (83.77±17.05) ms. There was statistically signiifcant difference between restenosis part/inner stents, distal part (t=2.319, 3.610, both P<0.05). There was no statistically signiifcant difference between the two groups in proximal part (t=1.833, P>0.05). ROC curve showed that in ISR lower limb artery, PSV>168 cm/s had a sensitivity of 89.4%, speciifcity of 92.1%, the area under the ROC curve was 0.949;AT>127 ms, had a sensitivity of 86.8%, speciifcity of 98.0%, the area under the ROC curve was 0.867. Conclusions CDFI can detect the changes of PSV and AT, ISR can be detected and diagnosed earlier in lower limb artery.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the current situation and facing problems of hierarchical diagnosis and treat-ment in China,and provide basis for nation health-related decisions. METHODS:Using"hierarchical diagnosis and treatment"as keyword,relevant literatures in CNKI,VIP database,and Wanfang database from building to Jun. 2016 were retrieved. Study for current situation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment in China was comprehensively collected,and systematical review was con-ducted from aspects of outcome evaluation indicators and facing problems. RESULTS:Totally 23 studies were included,in which, 18 were investigative studies,3 were retrospective/investigative studies,1 was retrospective study,and 1 was randomized con-trolled study. In the outcome evaluation indicators,9 took awareness of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment as review indicators, showing that the public had poor awareness;7 took the current situation as review indicator,showing that the overall current situa-tion was unsatisfactory;3 took human resources as review indicator,showing that human resources in primary medical institutions were not ideal;3 took satisfactory degree as review indicator,showing that the public were generally satisfied with hierarchical di-agnosis;2 took the implementation model as review indicator,showing that the current model had been able to promote hierarchi-cal diagnosis and treatment;2 took medical cost as review indicator,showing that individuals paid higher. In the facing problems, 19 studies suggested the imperfect systems for hierarchical diagnosis and treatment,16 suggested that primary medical treatment was limited in capability,7 suggested that patients still preferred big hospitals to primary medical institutions,and 7 suggested that it lacked publicity. CONCLUSIONS:The current situation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment is certainly not ideal but still fac-ing many problems in China. Improving the levels in primary institutions,hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system and patients' willingness to primary medical institutions,and increasing its publicity can deeply promote the implementation of hierarchical diag-nosis and treatment and provide objective and valuable reference for health decision-making.

Objective:
To analyze the image features of shear wave elastrography (SWE) in breast masses, and to evaluate their values in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.
Methods:
A total of 361 patients with 403 breast lesions who simultaneously underwent conventional ultrasound and SWE examination from February 2015 to January 2018 were selected. Diagnosis in all patients was confirmed by aspiration biopsy or operative pathology. The SWE images were collected and the elastic images were divided into 5 types. The SWE image features of different breast pathological types were summarized, and their values in benign and malignant breast lesion diagnoses were evaluated.
Results:
The main features of benign breast lesion were type Ⅰ and Ⅱ, the main features of the malignant lesion were type Ⅳ and Ⅴ, and the proportion of which were 43.6% (71/163), 37.4% (61/163), 22.1% (53/240) and 57.9% (139/240), respectively. Type Ⅲ accounted for a certain proportion in both benign and malignant lesions. The SWE image features of benign and malignant lesions were compared and a significant difference was observed (
