Objective To evaluate large field diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in detection of bone metastases of malignant tumors. Methods Eighteen patients with various malignant tumors were enrolled in this study. All the patients underwent large field DWI and 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy within one month. Results Fifteen of 18 patients were diagnosed as bone metastases with conventional MRI; 7 of them were found more than 10 bone metastases, and 23 bone metastases were confirmed in the other 8 patients. When seven patients with multiple bone metastases (>10) were excluded, and lesions in the residual 11 patients with or without bone metastases were counted, the diagnostic sensitivity of bone metastases with large field DWI and bone scintigraphy was both 100%, and specificity were 100% and 33.33%, respectively. ROC study showed the area under curve (AUC) of large field DWI and bone scintigraphy were 1.00 and 0.67, respectively (P=0.04). With lesion numbers as study unit, the diagnostic sensitivity of large field DWI and bone scintigraphy were 86.96% and 78.26%, and the specificity was both 60.00%. ROC study showed the AUC of large field DWI and bone scintigraphy was 0.74, 0.69, respectively; and no statistical difference was found. Conclusion Large field DWI can be used in screening the bone metastases of malignant tumors.

Objective To observe the effects of enhanced exercise and combined vitamin D and calcium supplementation on muscular strength and fracture occurrence in postmenopausal women with a high risk of osteoporosis.Methods Totally 614 postmenopausal women at high risk factors of osteoporosis were enrolled in Dongcheng district of Beijing and randomized into four groups:group A(control group,n=173),group B(regular Tai Chi exercise,n=171),group C(calcium 600 mg/d+VitD800 U/d,n=139),and group D[calcium 600 mg/d+25 hydroxyl vitamin D(25OHD) 0.25 μg/d,n=131].Muscular strength was measured at baseline and one and two years after intervention.Bone turnover markers were measured at baseline and during the two-year follow-up.Falls and fractures were recorded.Results The incidence of 25OHD<50 nmol/L was approximately 92.6%.During the follow-up,the left grip strength decreased significantly two years after intervention(t=-3.252,P=0.001)in group A.Right grip strength decreased significantly in group B(t=2.460,P=0.015)while left grip strength improved significantly in group C(t=-2.051,P=0.043)one year after intervention.In group D,muscular strength in both 12-month and 24-month did not change compared with baseline(both P>0.05).Furthermore,serum procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide elevated significantly in group A(t=-2.962,P=0.004),group B(t=-2.888,P=0.005),and group C(t=-2.441,P=0.016),whereas β-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen decreased significantly in group B(t=2.285,P=0.024)and group D(t=2.596,P=0.011)two years after intervention.Conclusion Enhanced exercise and combined calcium vitamin D supplementation may help sustain muscle strength in postmenopausal women,while calcium and vitamin D supplementation may improve muscular strength within a short period of time.

Objective:To investigate the cost-effectiveness of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) antimicrobial susceptibility testing-guided therapy versus an effective empiric modified bismuth quadruple therapy for first-line H. pylori treatment. Methods:This cost-effectiveness analysis was based on the data from a multicenter prospective randomized controlled clinical trial (NCT02935010), which included 382 patients with H. pylori infection. Among them, 286 cases were in the antimicrobial susceptibility testing group, which were diagnosed by biopsy under endoscopy. And according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of H. pylori, patients were treated with triple or quadruple therapy of eradicating H. pylori for 14 days. A total of 96 patients were in empirical therapy group, which were diagnosed by biopsy under endoscopy (96 cases, endoscopy empirical group), who were treated with 14-day empiric bismuth quadruple therapy. At the same time, based on the patients of empirical group, a simulated 13C-urea breath test (UBT) empirical group (UBT empirical group) was set up (96 cases, H. pylori infection was first diagnosed by 13C-UBT examination) and in the cost accounting the expenses related to endoscopy, biopsy and drug sensitivity test were removed and the expense of 13C-UBT was added. The information of patients of endoscopy empirical group was kept. Taking the eradication rate of H. pylori as an effectiveness indicator, the cost, cost-effective ratio (CER), incremental cost-effective ratio (ICER) among antimicrobial susceptibility testing group, endoscopy empirical group and UBT empirical group were compared by intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and per-protocol (PP) analysis. Sensitivity analysis was conducted based on the results of ITT analysis to evaluate the reliability of the research results. Results:The results of ITT analysis indicated that the cost of antimicrobial susceptibility testing group, endoscopy empirical group and UBT empirical group were (1 747.41±149.30), 1 032.71 and 657.71 Yuan, respectively. The cost of antimicrobial susceptibility testing group was (714.70±149.30) and (1 089.70±149.30) Yuan higher than that of the endoscopy empirical therapy group and UBT empirical therapy group, respectively. The CER of antimicrobial susceptibility testing group, endoscopy empirical group and UBT empirical group were (19.08±1.49), 12.09 and 7.70 Yuan/%, respectively. ICER of antimicrobial susceptibility testing group was (115.27±1.49) and (175.76±1.49) Yuan /% in comparison with the endoscopy empirical group and the UBT empirical therapy group. Compared with that of empirical group, the ICER of antimicrobial susceptibility testing group was more likely to be affected by H. pylori eradication rate and the cost of antimicrobial susceptibility testing. When the H. pylori eradication rate decreased in the empirical group, the ICER of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing group also decreased; when the H. pylori eradication rate increased in antimicrobial susceptibility testing group, the ICER decreased, and vice versa. When the cost of antimicrobial susceptibility test was upregulated or downregulated by 20%, for every 1% increase in the eradication rate of H. pylori in comparison with that of the endoscopy empirical group, the cost of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing group increased by 99.15 and 131.40 Yuan; in comparison with that of the UBT empirical group, the cost of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing group increased by 159.63 and 191.89 Yuan. Conclusions:For patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection by 13C-UBT and without indications for endoscopy examination, the empirical quadruple therapy is the first choice. For patients intended to do endoscopy to confirm H. pylori infection, with additional affordability of 115.27 Yuan for every 1% increase in the eradication rate of H. pylori, antimicrobial susceptibility testing can be conducted and personalized. H. pylori eradication therapy can be carried out based on the results of antimicrobial susceptibility test. Reduced cost of the antimicrobial susceptibility test will be more conductive to the promotion of personalized treatment after antimicrobial susceptibility test.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical and pathologic features of primary cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
METHODSA total of 4 patients with primary cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor were encountered during the period from 1993 to 2013 in National Center for Cardiovascular Disease. The clinical features, imaging findings and outcomes of the 4 patients were evaluated. ALK protein expression and ALK gene status were studied using the archival tumor tissues.
RESULTSThere were 1 female and 3 male patients. The age of patients ranged from 5 months to 30 years (mean = 16 years). The tumor was located in right ventricle (n = 2), right atrium (n = 1) or pericardium (n = 1). Histologic patterns included 2 cases of fibrous histiocytoma type, 1 case of granulomatous type and 1 case of sclerosing type. Immunohistochemical study showed that 2 cases expressed ALK protein. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization however did not reveal any ALK gene rearrangement.
CONCLUSIONSInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the heart is rarely encountered and easily misdiagnosed. It carries distinctive clinical and pathologic features. ALK protein expression is helpful in arriving at the correct diagnosis.
