Objective To study the value of CT and barium radiograpy in diagnosis of gastric schwannoma.Methods A retrospectiveanalysis was made on imaging of 8 patients with pathologically approved gastric schwannoma.Plain abdominal CT scan was performed in all patients, additional enhanced CT scan was carried out in 6 cases and barium radiography of upper digestive tract was carried out in 5 cases. Results The lesions localized in fundus ventriculi in 2 cases, curvatura ventriculi minor in 4 cases and pars pylorica in 2 cases. Three main types were seen: localized mass type (n=4), localized thickening of gastric paries type (n=2) and huge mass type (n=2).Conclusion In comparison with barium radiography of upper digestive tract, CT can accurately demonstrate the shape, the location and internal structure of lesions.Three main patterns of this lesion also can be showed clearly by CT scans and suggestive diagnosis can be made in some patients combined with barium radiography of upper digestive tract images.

Objective To study the biocompatibility of silk fibroin/poly L-lactic acid (SF/PLLA) non-woven network,a kind of new composite tissue engineering nanomaterials,and to explore its possibility as the biological implant materials.Methods The PLLA non-woven network was prepared by electrostatic spinning.Physiological saline as control,the leaching solution was prepared and injected into the mice,then the mice were observed for 2 weeks.The materials were implanted into the back of the mice,and 3-0 suture was used as control.Tissues were collected at 1,2,3,and 4 weeks after operation,dyed by HE staining and then the photos were taken.The tissue reactions in experimental group and control group were observed.The rabbit knee joint cartilage cells were cultured,and then subculture cells were seeded to the surface of materials.After cultured invitro,the adhesion and growth of the cells were observed with inverted optical microscope.The bioactivities of the rabbit knee joint cartilage cells in negative control group(DMEM culture media),experimental group(DMEM containing materials) and positive control group(DMEM containing phenol solution)were determined by MTT assay after cocultured for 24 and 48 h.Results After injection,the body status of the mice in experimental group was the same to the control group.There were little fibroblasts was and a little of lymphocytes and macrophage cells in the materials which were implanted into the back of the mice at the beginning.Then the number of the fibroblasts was increased, but the number of the lymphocytes and macrophage cells did not change obviously.The materials degraded slowly, and the material degraded obviously at 4 weeks.The inflammation of tissue around the material reduced gradually from the 2nd week.The inflammation of tissue around the material was the same to the suture,and sometimes was slighter than the suture.After sed for 24 h,there were cells attaching to the fibers of the material.More and more cells attached to the fibers.The reasult of MTT assay showed that the cytotoxicities in experimental groups were all on LevelⅠ at 24 and 48 h.Except for positive control group,the A values were increased in other groups with the extended response time.At the same time,there was no significant difference in cytotoxicity between experimental group and negative control group(P>0.05)and the A value in experimental group was higher than that in positive control group(P<0.01).Conclusion The SF/PLLA non-woven network scaffold material has good biological compatibility and safety,it could be used as implant material in tissue engineering.

Objective:To explore the inner experience and influencing factors of caregivers′ decision-making process in children with hematological tumors treated by Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) cell clinical trial, so as to provide reference for children and caregivers treated with CAR-T cells to carry out targeted health education and psychological support.Methods:Using the phenomenological method of qualitative study, the caregivers of 11 children were interviewed by semi-structured interview, the data were analyzed by Colaizzi analysis method, and the text data were managed, explored and searched by NVivo10.0 software.Results:The caregivers of children with hematological tumors had three topics: complex psychological experience in the initial stage of CAR-T treatment decision-making process, consultation approach and experience in the decision-making process, and overall decision-making quality evaluation.Conclusions:Pay attention to and understand the psychological experience of caregivers in CAR-T cell clinical trials, provide diversified decision-making counseling for caregivers, and ensure the right of caregivers to participate in decision-making, so as to improve caregivers′ treatment and nursing compliance.

Objective To investigate the influence of liver fat deposition on the quantification of the liver iron overload using fast-kilovolt-peak switching dual-energy CT imaging and material decomposition technique. Methods A total of 20 healthy SD rats were taken to make 18 PVC tube of homogenate of fresh liver tissue. The dextran with concentration of 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 0 mg/ml were mixed with rat liver homogenate and triglyceride with three different concentrations (add fat with volume percentage of 60%, 30%, 10% and to simulate severe, moderate and mild fatty liver respectively). All samples were placed in standard phantom according to the order of iron concentration from high to low and scanned by GE Revolution CT 256 slices scanner in GSI mode with rapid tube voltage switching between 80 and 140 kVp and with tube current 200 mA, 320 mA, 485 mA respectively. The images of iron (fat)-based substance pair were reconstructed and the virtual iron concentration (VIC) value were recorded. The correlation between VIC and the actual liver concentration (LIC) of the three sets of tube currents (200, 320, 485 mA) was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis and linear regression. Results LIC and VIC were highly positively correlated with the liver iron deposition model under different tube currents (r value was 0.900 to 1.000, P<0.05). The presence of fat will result in the decrease of VIC value. In a certain X-ray energy range and certain liver iron concentration, the higher the fat content, the more liver iron concentration underestimation were happened in VIC. At 200, 320 and 485 mA, the crossing points of linear equations for 30%and 10%fatty liver iron deposition models were located at VIC=12.682, 12.470 and 13.447 mg/cm3, respectively. Conclusions The fast-kilovolt-peak switching dual-energy CT imaging and material decomposition techniques can be used for quantitative evaluation of liver iron with hepatic steatosis. The presence of fat will lead to a decrease in VIC measurement.
