Objective To evaluate the characteristics of the CT perfusion for severe acute pancreatitis. Methods We performed CT perfusion scan on three groups of 9, 17and 41 cases with severe,mild and normal pancreatitis respectively, using 16 rows spiral CT, and got the perfusion data of the relevant groups including blood flow (BL), blood volume(BV), mean transit time( MTT), capillary permeability(PS)with perfusion package 3. We analize the data deviation between the groups mentioned above. Furthmore, we still adapt correlation test to compare the clinical biochemical indicators of MAP and SAP, with the variance BF. Results The mean values of BF, BV reduce significally in the groups of MAP, SAP compared to thenormal group(P<0.01 ), only PS goes higher than that of the normal group(P<0.05). At the same time,they are obviously higher in MAP group than in SAP group. In MAP group, the level of blood hemodiastase and BF are negatively correlated, on the contray, in SAP group, the level of the blood hemodiastase has no relation to BF. Conclusions CT perfusion techniques are of great significance in early diagnosis in SAP, and in guiding the clinical therapy.

Objective To investigate the value of CT perfusion imaging in evaluation of therapeutic effect and prognosis in radiotherapy for lung cancer.Methods Fifty-one cases of lung cancer who were unable or refused to be operated on,36 males and 15 females,aged 37 - 80,underwent CT perfusion imaging,29 of which only before radiotherapy and 22 before and after radiotherapy twice.The images were collected by cine dynamic scanning (5 mm/4 slices ) and input into the GE AW4.0workstation for data processing.The slice positions of CT imaging were determined according to the largest tumor size in CT scan.Regions of interest of tumor were drawn at the region corresponding to the original images of CT perfusion.Radiotherapy was performed after CT perfusion imaging.Relevant parameters,including blood flow ( BF),blood volume ( BV),mean transit time ( MTT),and permeability surface (PS) were calculated.The treatment response after radiotherapy was evaluated by RECIST.At 2 -4 weeks after the treatment,CT examination was conducted once more.Results The tests of the 51 patients showed that the BV was 13.6 ml·100 g-1,the BF was 129.5 ml·min-1 ·100 g-1,the MTT was 9.1 s,and the PS was 10.0 ml· min- 1· 100 g-1 before radiotherapy.The tests of the 22 of the 51 patients showed that the values of BV and BF after radiotherapy were 7.6 ml· 100 g-1 and 97.8 ml·min-1· 100 g-1,respectively,both lower than those before radiotherapy (11.2 and 108.7 ml·min-1·100g-1,respectively),however,both not significantly ( t =1.28,0.40,P > 0.05 ) ; and the values of MTT and PS after radiotherapy were 8.9 s and 7.8 ml·min-1· 100 g-1,respectively,both not significantly higher than those before radiotherapy ( 7.2 s and 6.8 ml· min -1· 100 g-1,respectively,t =- 1.15,- 0.57,P >0.05 ).The mean area of tumor after radiotherapy was 1189.6 mm2,significantly less than that before radiotherapy ( 1920.3 mm2,t =3.98,P <0.05).The MTT of the SCLC patients was 12.9 s,significantly longer than that of the NSCLC patients (6.5 s,t =2.54,P <0.05).The MTT of the tumor with the area ≤ 10 cm2 was 11.2 s,significantly longer than that of the tumors with an area > 10 cm2(5.8 s,t =2.59,P < 0.05 ).The BV of the responder group was 19.2 ml· 100 g- 1,significantly higher than that of the nonresponder group (4.6 ml· 100 g - 1,t =3.62,P < 0.05 ).There were not significant differences in all the perfusion characteristics between the cases with the disease-free advanced survival time ≤ 10 months and those with disease-free advanced survival time > 10 months.Conclusions CT perfusion imaging helps in diagnosis and radiotherapy of lung cancer to a certain degree.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of three-dimensional conformal involvedfield radiotherapy (3D-CRT)combined with chemotherapy on limited disease stage small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC).Methods The clinical data of 85 patients of LD-SCLC treated with 3D-CRT at the dose of 2 Gy/fraction,5 fractions per week for 5 - 7 weeks,with the median dose of 50 Gy ( 46 - 66 Gy),combined with 4 -8 cycles chemotherapy,64 males and 21 females,aged 29 -76,were collected and analyzed.Results The complete remission rate,partial remission rate,stability rate,and total effective rate were 36.5%,52.9%,10.6%,and 89.4%,respectively.The median survival time was 18 months,with the 1-,2-,and 3-year overall survival rates of 65.9%,33.8%,and 15.9%,respectively.The local recurrence rate,distant metastasis rate,and local recurrence + distant metastasis rate were 15.2% (9/85),49.2% (29/85),and 35.6% (21/85),respectively.Body weight,response to therapy,cycles for chemotherapy,and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy were all independent prognostic factors for LD-SCLC.Cox muhivariable regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors.Conclusions Involved-field radiotherapy is effective for LD-SCLC.Distance metastasis is the main cause of treatment failure.

In this study, 38 experimental subjects of diabetes mellitus were given pectin 25g extra per day orally under carefully controlled dietary plan for six weeks. Another 38 cases were selected at random as control group.Pre- and posttreatrnent, blood and urine sugar and serum insulin of each subject were measured and compared. The results were: 1) the blood sugar dropped markedly as compared with that of pretreatment (p05). 2) sugar in urine decreased evidently in contrast with control group, but no difference was seen in the volume of urine between the two groups. 3) serum insulin levels dropped significantly when compared with control group (p

Objective:To explore the effect of elastic band resistance training in the balance ability training of inpatients in Geriatric Department.Methods:From January to December 2019, 70 inpatients in the Geriatrics Department of a ClassⅡ general hospital in Beijing were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 35 cases in each group. Control group used routine exercise health education and supervised patients to complete the activity. On the basis of control group, observation group carried out balance training according to the elastic band resistance training method. Before and after the intervention, the differences in the grip strength, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) , single-legged standing with eyes closed, and Timed up and Go (TUG) test of patients were compared between the two groups.Results:After 12 weeks of intervention, patients of observation group had grip strength (27.371±8.769) kg, total SPPB score (8.657±1.259) , time of single-legged standing with eyes close (5.151±1.551) s, and TUG test (14.031±3.666) s, higher than those of control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.148, 5.505, 31.128, 2.269; P<0.05) . Conclusions:Elastic band resistance training can improve the limb strength and balance ability of elderly hospitalized patients, which can be further promoted.
