Objective To investigate the characteristics of imaging appearances and diagnostic value of ciliochoroidal detachment.Methods Ultrasound,MRI and CT appearances of 19 cases of ciliochoroidal detachment were reviewed,which included 9 cases of serous ciliochoroidal detachment,7 cases of choroid hematoma,and 3 cases of ciliary body detachment.All cases were examined by both B ultrasound and MRI at the same time,11 of them were examined by CT.Results UItrasound showed membrane bulge of the eyeball wall with different extent in 9 cases of serous ciliochoroidal detachment.Its postzone connected the equator or close to optic disc and its prozone could not been detected by ultrasound.There was echofree fluid darkspace under detached membrane.MRI showed membrane detachment at both nasal side and temporal side of ocular annulation in 9 cases of ciliochoroidal detachment.The detached membrane was approximately symmetry,its anterior margin did not exceed ciliary body adhesion of ocular annnlation and its posterior margin stopped at posterior part of ocular annulafion.There was long T1 and long T2 signal under detached membrane.CT showed slight thickening of ocular annulafion and slightly increased density of eyeball in 5 cases of serous cilioehoroidal detachment.Ultrasound showed hemispheroid or curve bulge of eyeball wall,projected toward the vitreous cavity in 7 cases of choroid hematoma,and there was an amount of low echo light spot under the detached membrane.Both MRI (7 cases)and CT (5 cases) showed hemispheroid,fusfform or curve bulge on the nasal side,temporal side and posterior part of ocular annulation.They appeared as isodensity or slight high density on CT,iso- or high signal on T1 WI and T2WI.Stratification was seen on T2WI in I case of choroid hematoma.Ciliary body detachment could not been detected by either MBI (3 cases) or CT (1 case) except ultrasound.Conclusion Imaging examination may provide reliable diagnostic evidence for ciliochoroidal detachment.

Objective To analyze the CT features of orbital bone benign tumor and tumor mimics,so that to improve the diagnostic accuracy of these diseases.Methods CT appearances of orbital bone benign tumor and tumor-like lesion in 32cases proved by surgery,pathology and clinical features were reviewed.The lesions included orbital bone benign tumor(n=17)and tumor-like lesions(n=15).Results On CT,orbital osteomas in 9 cases showed homogeneous high density and cavernous bone-like density or ground glass-like density;ossifying fibroma in 5 cases were well-defined expansion of bone with ossification,cystic areas within the lesions;epidermal cyst in 2 displayed cystic density ;calcification and ossification could be seen in 1 case of chondroma ;10 cases of fibrous dysplasia showed ground glass-like density with cystic areas in poor-defined expansion of bone;the osteolytic destruction with well-defined margin were founded in 3 cases of orbital Langerhans' cell histiocytosis;1 case of aneurismal bone cyst appeared as cystic and expansive lesion with thin bone shell;1 case of osteopetrosis showed homogeneous high density in orbital wall.Conclusion Various orbital bone benign tumor and tumor-like lesions have different CT features.CT scan can clearly demonstrate the extent,density,border and the relationship with adjacent tissue of these lesions.

Objective To present a new algorithm for multidimensional medical image registration from global registration to local registration in sequence. Methods Firstly, the global registration was achieved by the method of affine transformation composed of B-splines,whose knots were the four vertexes of the medical image. Then the knots of the B-splines were increased, and the transformation function was more complex and elastic than ever,which completed the elastic aligning for the detail of the medical image. Results The whole registration algorithm represented the principle aligning from global registration to local registration. Conclusion It is proved by experiments that the presented algorithm can decrease the time of calculation and increase the robustness of registration.

Objective To study the clinical and pathological features of primary nephrotic syndrome in elderly patients.Methods Clinical data of patients with primary nephrotic syndrome aged ≥ 60 years underwent renal biopsy were retrospectively analyzed and patients with primary nephrotic syndrome aged ＜60 years were selected as control group.Results Male patients with primary nephrotic syndrome were common in the elderly group and control group,and there was no significant difference in gender composition between the two groups (62.0％ vs.61.5 ％,P＞0.05).The degree of edema and hypertension,levels of blood urea nitrogen,serum albumin,blood IgG and ratio of IgG /IgM were higher while levels of urinary protein and blood cholesterol were lower in elderly group than in control group (all P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences in the incidence of hematuria,serum levels of creatinine,IgA,and complement were found between the two groups (all P＞0.05).The risk of primary nephrotic syndrome was higher in elderly group than in control group (P＜0.01).The level change of blood IgG was positively associated with plasma albumin,while negatively associated with urinary protein and blood cholesterol in both groups (r=0.327,-0.147,-2.860,respectively,all P＜0.05).Membranous nephropathy was the most common type in elderly patients,accounting for 49.77％,while only accounting for 23.6％ in control group,which had a significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =62.390,P ＜ 0.01).Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was common in both groups,but no significant difference(x2 =62.390,P＞0.05).Conclusions Male patients are more common than female patients in primary nephrotic syndrome.The clinical manifestations including urinary protein and serum albumin are milder but the risk is much greater in elderly patients than in the non-elderly patients.The change of blood IgG level is associated with urine albumin,plasma albumin and plasma cholesterol.Membranous nephropathy is the most common type followed by mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in elderly patients with nephrotic syndrome.

BACKGROUND:Laminoplasty and laminectomy are the most commonly used treatment methods for multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy, which is more common in elderly patients. C5 nerve root palsy is the common postoprative complication after posterior cervical repair. OBJECTIVE:To compare the incidence of C5 nerve root palsy after laminoplasty with mini-titanium plate fixation and laminectomy with internal fixation in repair of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy. METHODS:Total y 134 patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy from August 2010 to December 2014 were enrol ed, and then divided into laminoplasty group (n=45) and laminectomy group (n=89) owing to different ways of repair. Patients in the laminoplasty group were treated with laminoplasty with mini-titanium plate fixation, and patients in the laminectomy group were treated with laminectomy with internal fixation. C5 nerve root palsy condition after repair was recorded and evaluated. The cervical lordosis angle (Cobb angle) and cervical curvature index were compared. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was used for neurological assessment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients in both groups were fol owed up for more than 6 months. There were no significant differences in cervical lordotic angle and cervical curvature index at the first week before and after the treatment between these two groups (P>0.05). The Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores of patients after 6 months of treatment were significantly improved compared with that before treatment in these two groups (P<0.05). There were 2 cases of C5 nerve root palsy after the treatment of laminoplasty, the occurrence rate was 4%(2/45);there were 10 cases of C5 nerve root palsy after the treatment of laminectomy, the occurrence rate was 11%(10/89);there was significant difference between these two groups (P<0.05). These results suggest that compared with laminectomy fixation, the incidence of C5 nerve root palsy was lower after the laminoplasty with mini-trianium plate fixation, which can be widely used in decompression repair treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Objective To study the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of Bevacizumab combined with Chemotherapy in patients with advanced and metastatic cancer.Methods Fifty-nine patients of advanced metastatic cancer (Forty-two patients of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer and 17 advanced adenocarcinoma) were treated with normalized chemotherapy combined with Bevacizumab.Patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer were treated with Bevacizumab combined with FOLFIRI or FOLFOX4,and patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of NSCLC were treated with Bevacizumab in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin for 4-6 cycles,Bevacizumab was used until progressive disease (PD).During treatment,adverse effect were assessed with Common Toxicity Criteria V3.0 developed by National Cancer Institute.Results Among the 42 patients of metastatic colorectal cancer,27 were treated with First-line 1 with complete remission (CR),13 partial response(PR),4 stable disease(SD) and 9 PD,the effective rate (ER) was 51.9％ ( 5/15 ),disease control rate(DCR) was 66.7％ (18/27);Fifteen patients were treated with second-line PR,of which 5 PRD,4 SD,6 PD.ER was 33.3％ (5/15),and DCR was 60.0％ (9/15).The effective rate were slightly higher in the First-line treatment group than that in the second-line treatment group,however,the difference was not statistically significant (x2=1.335,P=0.248 ).Among the 17 patients of NSCLC,of which 1 CR,7 PR,5 SD,4 PD.RR was 47.1％ (8/17),and DCR was 76.5％ (13/17).The major toxicities were one grade 3 hemoptysis observed in one patient,grade 3 thrombosis was observed in one patient.Other common adverse effects,were epistaxis,hemoptysis,hypertension and proteinuria,which were not severe and could be well tolerated.Conclusion Bevacizumab Combined with Chemotherapy was effective in short term for the patients with advanced and metastatic cancerMost patients could tolerate the side effects.Further studies should be done to prove the long-term effects.

Objective To evaluate the safety,effectiveness,and middle or long-term efficacy of endovascular stenting of internal carotid artery stenosis at the cavernous segment. Methods Thirty-two patients underwent endovascular stenting at the cavernous segment of internal carotid artery from January 2012 to February 2015 were enrolled retrospectively. Angioplasty and stenting were conducted using Apollo or Winspan stent system. The improvement of internal carotid artery cavernous segment stenosis and perioperative safety and the results of the medium and long-term follow-up of the 2 kinds of stents were observed. Results All the 32 patients achieved technical success. The symptoms of cerebral ischemia of the patients were relieved significantly. The length of the stenosis at cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery was 4 to 13 mm (mean,7. 2 ±2. 9 mm). The stenosis rate from 82 ± 7% before treatment decreased to the 24 ± 7% . One patient had perioperative complication (4. 7%),26 of them were followed up with DSA,and 6 were lost to follow-up. The follow-up period ranged from 7 to 29 months (mean,16 ± 7 months). During the follow-up period,1 patient had intracerebral hemorrhage,1 had cerebral infarction,and none of them died. Four patients had in-stent restenosis,three of them used Winspan stents, and 1 used Apollo stents. Conclusion The patients should be screened strictly,particularly paying attention to the length of lesions. Endovascular stent angioplasty for the treatment of internal carotid artery cavernous segment stenosis is a safe and effective method.
