Objective To evaluate the value of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI)sequence in the diagnosis of metastatic en-cephaloma pre and after radiotherapy by comparing the appearance of the SWI and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging(T1 WI). Methods Thirty-eight lung cancer patients with brain metastases underwent SWI and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging re-spectively before and 2-3 months after radiotherapy.Evaluated the two methods by score(the score ranged from 0-3,0 represen-ted no showing,1 represented not showing clearly,2 represented could judging,3 represented showing obviously).Results Before radiotherapy,SWI detected 1 61 lesions of metastases and could obviously show tumor vascular in brain metastases (mean score 2.73±0.05).Contrast-enhanced T1 WI detected 1 61 lesions(mean score 1.93±0.04 ).SWI showed significantly higher score than enhanced T1 WI(P <0.05)through paired sample t test.After radiotherapy,SWI found 98 lesions (mean score 1.47±0.1 1 )and en-hanced T1 WI found 140 lesions (mean score 1.80±0.07),enhanced T1 WI had significantly higher score than SWI(P <0.05).Con-clusion SWI is superior to contrast-enhanced T1 WI to show the metastases before radiotherapy and can show tumor vascular in brain metastases obviously.SWI is inferior to enhanced T1 WI after radiotherapy.It has some value and may provide a new method for evaluating effects of radiotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical practicality of two different D-dimer assays by studying the correlation of the testing results by two different D-dimer reagents with fibrin degradation products (FDP)result values and analyzing the Clinical alignment.Methods A representative cross-sectional study of 762 clinical patients’plasma specimens were taken to measure the results of D-dimer and FDP by using Sysmex CA-1500 automated coagulation analyzer,D-DIMER detection rea-gent respectively Siemens Innovance D-DIMER and Dade Behring D-DIMER Plus reagents.Then rating frequency analysis and Spearman correlation test were applied to analyze the correlation of measurement results.Results Overall,to the same patient,the correlation of D-dimer tested by Siemens Innovance D-DIMER Reagent with FDP level was significant positive (r= 0.954,P<0.01),better than that tested by Siemens DD Plus Reagent (r=0.885,P<0.01);and this correlation had an increasing trend when D-dimer level raised.When D-dimer level > 5 mg/L FEU,the correlation was the best (P<0.01). And by calculating the amount of positive FDP (FDP>5μg/ml)and FDP positive rate in both different cases when D-dimer results was also positive,FDP positive rate in Innovance D-DIMER Reagent group (about 65.76%)was lower than DD Plus Reagent group,it indicated that D-dimer results tested by Innovance D-DIMER Reagent could raise before FDP reacted,so D-dimer had a higher sensitivity than FDP.Conclusion It can provide a more precise clinical diagnosis and treatment infor-mation when using Siemens Innovance D-DIMER Reagent to detect D-dimer values and combined FDP values at the same time.
