Objective To explore the reliability of assessing the renal damage and prognosis with enhance-lfow (E-Flow) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by detecting hemodynamics indexes of intrarenal arteries. Methods There were 50 SLE patients who were treated in the Second Hospital Afifliated to Harbin Medical University from May 2012 to March 2013. The 50 SLE patients were divided into 2 groups:28 patients with LN and 22 ones without LN, and 30 healthy persons were served as the control group who were from the health check centre. All patients underwent renal ultrasonic examination, and two-dimensional images were observed. E-Flow technique were used to measure the peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV) and vascular resistance indexes (RI) of the segmental, interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries. ANOV was used to compare the PSV, EDV and RI of segmental, interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in the three groups, and LSD-t was used to compare the indexes between the two groups. A linear correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between the RI of the intrarenal arteries in patients with LN and the levels of serum creatinine. Results The two-dimensional images of kidneys in patients without LN were normal. There were 8 cases with renal parenchymal diffused change in patients with LN. The spectrums of interlobular arteries in patients without LN were similar with those of control subjects, and the turgor curve of diastolic phase reduced slightly. The spectrums of interlobular arteries in patients with LN were blunt, with high resistance and hypoperfusion. Compared with the control subjects, PSV of the interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in patients with LN decreased statistically (t=-2.46,-2.40,-3.49, P<0.05 or 0.01). EDV of the intrarenal arteries in patients with or without LN decreased statistically (patients with LN:t=-5.50,-5.95,-5.83,-5.01, all P<0.01;patients without LN:t=-3.41,-3.69,-3.29,-2.49, P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with patients without LN, PSV and EDV of the arcuate and interlobular arteries in patients with LN all decreased statistically (PSV:t=-2.00,-2.16, both P<0.05;EDV:t=-2.13,-2.16, both P<0.05). Compared with the control subjects, RI of the intrarenal arteries in all SLE patients increased signiifcantly (patients with LN:t=12.78, 13.30, 11.95, 9.52, all P<0.01;patients without LN:t=9.88, 10.05, 8.71, 5.30, all P<0.01). Compared with patients without LN, RI of the the intrarenal arteries in patients with LN increased signiifcantly (t=2.05, 2.38, 2.43, 3.57, P<0.05 or 0.01). There were positive correlations between the RI of the intrarenal arteries in patients with LN and the level of serum creatinine (r=0.684, 0.752, 0.755, 0.851, all P<0.01). Conclusions E-Flow could clearly display the branches of intrarenal arteries and assess the progress and prognosis of the patients with SLE by measuring intrarenal arteries hemodynamics.

Objective To investigate the incidence of abnormalities and adverse reactions of intrauterine device ( IUD) by three‐dimensional transvaginal ultrasound ,and guide the correct selection of IUD . Methods Female volunteers who came to our hospital for health check‐up from July 2016 to February 2018 were selected as subjects to obtain information of the belt loop time and number of loops . T hree‐dimensional transvaginal ultrasound was used to observe and record the IUD types and positions . T he incidence of location abnormalities ,adverse reactions and cervical lesions of differnet types of IUD were retrospectively analyzed . Results T wo thousand one hundred and thirteen eligible subjects were included in the study ,including 423 cases of McuIUD ,506 cases of circular ring ,405 cases of uterine ring ,372 cases of T‐ring and 407 cases of γ ring . T he statistical analysis showed that the incidence of adverse reactions after wearing rings was as high as 34 .07% ,and the adverse reaction rate of different IUD was different . McuIUD had the highest incidence of adverse reactions ,compared with the circular ring ,the uterine ring ,the T‐ring , and the γ ring ( 47 .99% vs 25 .88% ,27 .41% ,37 .10% ,33 .66% ; all P ＜ 0 .05 ) . Different IUD had different incidence of adverse reactions . T he low back pain rate in McuIUD and γ ring were higher than the other 3 IUDs . T he low back pain rate of McuIUD was higher than the circular ring ,the uterine ring and the T‐ring ( 23 .4% vs 15 .71% ,14 .07% ,13 .7 1% ; all P ＜ 0 .01 ) . Different types of IUD had different incidence of location anomalies . T he descending rate of the circular ring was higher than that of the McuIUD and γ ring ( 6 .32% vs 3 .30% ,3 .19% ; all P＜ 0 .05 ) ,and no statistically significant difference compared with the uterine ring and T‐ring ( 6 .32% vs 3 .45% ,4 .30% ; all P ＞0 .05 ) . T he incarceration rate of the mother ring was higher than that of the circular ring ,uterine ring and T‐ring ( 3 .07% vs 0 ,0 .25% ,0 .54% ;all P ＜0 .01) . T he intrauterine rotation rate of uterine ring and γ ring were higher than that of McuIUD , circular ring and T‐ring ( all P ＜0 .01) . Pregnancy ＞1 and ring times ≥2 were related with the occurrence of adverse reactions of IUD ( P ＜ 0 .05 ) . T he incidence of cervical erosion in the T‐ring was the highest compared with the McuIUD ,circular ring ,uterine ring ,and γ ring ( 30 .65% vs 16 .78% ,16 .80% ,18 .02% , 17 .69% ; all P ＜0 .01) . Conclusions The incidence of adverse reactions is higher in women with different types of IUD . T he incidence of different types of abnormal IUD position is different . T he frequency of pregnancy and band ring are related to the occurence of adverse veactions to IUD .

Objective:To classify the ultrasound features of ovarian tumors by modified gynecology imaging reporting and data system(mGI-RADS), and explore the clinical value of mGI-RADS in differentiating of benign and malignant tumors.Methods:The 242 ultrasound images of the adnexal mass from 221 patients with ovarian tumor who underwent ultrasound scan and proceeded surgeries in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from September 2017 and December 2019 were involved in the retrospective analysis and compared with the pathological results. According to the latest ultrasound terminology for adnexal masses proposed by the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA), the adnexal masses were classified. The suspeted malignant sings were screened for mGI-RADS. Using GI-RADS and mGI-RADS classification systems, all the adnexal masses were double-blindly classified by two senior doctors and their diagnostic efficiencies were evaluated.Results:Among the suspected malignant signs proposed by IOTA, resistance index (RI)<0.5, central blood flow signal, ascites, irregular cystic wall with uneven thickness separation, mass composition (solid component ≥30% and silent shadow attenuation), and papillary structure≥7 mm, showed retatively higher OR values(14.282, 10.372, 9.653, 8.832, 5.851, 4.506, respectively. Using GI-RADS and mGI-RADS classification systems, the diagnostic consistency by the two senior doctors in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian neoplasms was good(Kappa=0.767, P<0.05). Grade Ⅳ was divided into three subtypes (Ⅳa, Ⅳb, Ⅳc) by the mGI-RADS, and their positive predictive values for malignant ovarian masses were 69.0%, 90.4% and 92.9% respectively. When a cut-off value >mGRⅣ was used to distinguish the benign and malignant adnexal tumors, the AUC was the largest, and its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 93.4%, 93.1%, 90.4%, 95.2% and 93.2%, respectively. Conclusions:The mGI-RADS has a high clinical value in the differential diagnosis of ovarian tumors.
