Objective To investigate the endoluminal ultrasonographie characteristics of adenoearcinoma and mucous adenocareinoma of the rectum. Methods The ultrasonographie characteristics of thirty eases of advanced adenoeareinoma of the rectum and twenty-eight eases of rectal mucous adenoearcinoma were analyzed retrospectively in comparison with their eorresponding pathologic images. Results In advanced adenocareinoma of the rectum, 28 eases manifested rough endoluminal surface, of which 19 marked by thickened changes without arrangement of layers, 10 had indistinct arrangement of layers in some areas and one had clear arrangement of layers. In the deepest margin of infiltration, 17 eases manifested sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance, while 5 marked by wavy margins, and 8 cases had clear and fiat margins. In 25 eases of rectal mucous adenocareinoma, 20 manifested smooth endoluminal surface. With regard to infiltration of tumors to rectal wall, 6 cases manifested clear arrangement of layers, while 13 had clear arrangement of layers in part and 6 had no clear arrangement. In the deepest part of infiltration, 8 eases manifested slippery and fiat margins and 10 manifested wavy margins and 7 had a few sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance locally. According to ultrasonic results of the depth of infiltration to rectal wall in comparison with pathologic findings, 25 eases were diagnosed accurately, while in two cases the diagnosis was too shallow and in three eases it was too deep. In rectal mucous adenocarcinoma, 10 cases got correct diagnosis and 14 were diagnosed superficially and one got too deep. The accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis on rectal mueoas adenoearcinoma was apparently lower than that of adenoeareinoma and most of the misdiagnosis were too superfieiai. Conclusion There are different ultrasonographie characteristics of rectal adenoeareinoma and rectal mucous adenoeareinoma, which can be helpful for the typing of rectal carcinoma and avoiding excessively superficial misdiagnosis.

Objective To investigate ultrasonographic features of different pathological types of mucinous breast carcinomas (MBC), and to improve the diagnosis rate of MBC. Methods The ultrasonographic features of 42 MBC cases between January 2014 and December 2015 in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed according to pathological types. Results There were 24 cases of simple type and 18 cases of mixed type in 42 MBC cases (46 lesions in total). The coincidence rate of preoperative ultrasound diagnosis for cancerous lesions was 93.5 % (43/46), including 24 cases of 27 simple type lesions with oval form or lobulated (20/27, 74.1 %), clear boundary (21/27, 77.8 %), uniform internal echo (17/27, 63.0 %), posterior echo enhancement (11/27, 40.7 %), and 18 cases of 19 mixed type lesions with irregular shape (14/19, 73.7 %), unclear border (16/19, 84.2 %), uneven internal echo (13/19, 68.4 %), posterior echo attenuation (13/19, 68.4 %). The differences between the two types of ultrasound images were statistically significant (both P<0.05). Of 42 cases, 76 axillary lymph nodes were transferred in 13 cases. Preoperative ultrasonography showed that 32 axillary lymph nodes enlargement were abnormal in 12 cases, and the detection rate was 42.1 % (32/76). The positive rates of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) were 87.5 % (21/24), 79.2 % (19/24), 8.3 % (2/24) in simple type and 83.3 % (15/18), 88.9 % (16/18), 5.6 % (1/18) in mixed type respectively. There was no significant difference in the positive rates of 3 kinds of molecular markers among two types (all P>0.05). Conclusions Due to the different tissue components in different types of MBC, ultrasonic features show several differences. Simple type is similar to benign masses, while mixed type shows the characteristics of invasive carcinomas.

Objective:
To investigate the location, size, ultrasonic characteristics and clinical significances of normal parathyroid glands.
Methods:
A total of 350 healthy subjects with no relevant diseases in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were selected. The age ranged from 9 to 83 years old. They were divided into seven groups according to age, with 50 in each group. The position, size, shape, echo, boundary, and blood flow signal characteristics of the normal parathyroid glands in these healthy subjects examined by ultrasound were retrospectively analyzed, and the differences among the different groups were compared.
Results:
The detection rate of normal parathyroid glands in 350 subjects was 95.4% (1 335/1 400). The normal parathyroid glands were oval, fusiform or irregular shape hyperechoic or isoechoic nodules, with homogeneous echoes and clear borders. There was no obvious blood flow signal in most glands. The proportion of fusiform shape in upper parathyroid glands (24.4%, 161/659) was higher than that in lower parathyroid glands (18.4%, 125/676), the difference was statistically significant (
