Objective To explore the imaging features of breast cancer by molybdenum target roentgenography in order to improve the diagnostic level. Methods The mammographic features of 68 cases with breast cancer confirmed surgically and pathologically were studied retrospectively. Results Masses with high density, spicule signs and lobulate margins were found in 61, 43 and 32 cases, respectively. Calcification was found in 29 cases (42 6%), in which only 7 cases of calcification without mass were found. Conclusion The masses and calcification are the main radiological features in breast cancer. The consciousness of comprehensive examination should be emphasized in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

BACKGROUND:Peripheral nerves play an important role in bone metabolism.In clinical practice,the specific impact of nerve injury on bone transport technology needs further study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of tibial nerve injury on the treatment of tibial slip by single-plane osteotomy. METHODS:Thirty-two patients with tibial bone defects admitted to Tangshan Second Hospital from May 2011 to June 2022 were selected.According to the presence or absence of tibial nerve injury,patients were divided into the tibial nerve injury group(n=16)and the non-tibial nerve injury group(n=16).Both groups were treated with single-plane osteotomy and bone slip.After treatment,the patients were followed up to collect the mineralization zone healing index,external fixation index,docking point healing and needle infection.After the removal of external fixation,the bone healing and functional evaluation were evaluated by a classification of the Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov(ASAMI). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All 32 patients were followed up for(25.28±4.79)months.There were no significant differences in bone healing time,external fixation time,healing index and external fixation index between the two groups(P＞0.05).Needle infection occurred in two cases of the tibial nerve injury group and one case of the non-tibial nerve injury group,all of which were PALEY I,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The non-union rate of the occlusal end of the tibial nerve injury group was 31%,and that of the non-tibial nerve injury group was 13%;there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The excellent and good rate of ASAMI bone healing score in the two groups was 100%;the excellent and good rate of limb score was 81%in the tibial nerve injury group and 94%in the non-tibial nerve injury group;there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).(2)Our research shows that tibial nerve injury has no significant effect on the mineralization speed,external fixation time,union of the occlusal end,infection of the needle tract,and the quality of bone formation in the mineralized area of the single-plane osteotomy.

ObjectiveTo determine the seroprevalence of anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae immunoglobulin G （IgG） antibody and its risk factors in the elderly attending physical examination. MethodsTwo communities were randomly selected， in which the elderly aged over 60 years attending physical examination in the community health care centers were included in the study. A questionnaire survey was conducted， companied by examination for serum anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae IgG antibody. In addition， data of physical examination was collected. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were utilized to determine the risk factors associated with seroprevalence of anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae antibody. ResultsA total of 635 participants were included. The average age was （73.2±7.4） years old. Forty-nine （7.72%） participants tested positive for anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae IgG antibody. The seroprevalence differed by gender （6.49% in male and 8.86% in female）， smoking （5.48% in smokers and 8.01% in non-smokers）， history of pneumonia （7.89% in those suffered from pneumonia in the past year and 7.71% in those didn^’t have pneumonia）， history of common cold （10.38% in those had common cold in the past year and 5.87% in those didn’t have cold）， obesity （15.62% in those with obesity and 6.83% in those without obesity）. Further multivariate logistic regression showed the seroprevalence of anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae IgG significantly increased in the elderly with history of common cold （OR： 2.24； 95%CI： 1.21‒4.14）and obesity （OR： 2.81； 95%CI： 1.26‒6.26）. ConclusionSeroprevalence of anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae IgG antibody is low in the elderly attending physical examination. It warrants improving the vaccination of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine for the elderly with obesity and susceptibility to common cold.
