Objective To investigate the correlation between auditory steady-state response (ASSR)and behavioral audiometry threshold in deaf children.Methods A total of 63 cases (126 ears)of severely and profoundly hearing impaired children from 0.5 years to 6 years were divided to Group A of 0.5~1.0 years,Group B of 1.1~3.0 years and Group C of 3.1~6.0 years old.ASSR and behavioral hearing tests were conducted in the sound field. 0.5~1.0 years old children were tested with the behavior observation Audiometry (BOA),1~2 years old children with visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA),while those of 3 ~6 with play audiometry (PA).Results For the ASSR response thresholds and pure tone hearing thresholds at 0.5,1,2 and 4 kHz,the correlation coefficients were 0.75,0.76,0.76,and 0.83,respectively.There was a significant correlation (P <0.01 ).The hearing thresholds were generally lower than the ASSR response thresholds,and with increasing frequency,the gaps were narrowed between the two.For Group A at each frequency the response thresholds and behavioral audiometry correlations were lower than those of Group B and C with the lowest at 0.5 kHz.Conclusion For the children of 0.5~6 years, ASSR and behavioral audiometric thresholds have good correlations.ASSR can provide information about the behav-ior thresholds for young children and those high risk children and for fitting hearing aids.

Anopheles minimus collected from Yuanjiang, Yunnan Province, were bred with standard methods in lab. The ovarian nurse cells of A.minimus were separated and stained, and the whole polytene chromosomes were photographed under light microscope and compared with A.minimus from Guangxi. 365 samples of ovarian nurse cells were observed. The chromosomes included one telocentric sex-chromosome X, two submetacentric autosomes II(autosome II right arm, 2R and autosome II left arm, 2L) and two metacentric autosomes III(autosome III right arm, 3R, and autosome III left arm, 3L). The X is the shortest chromosome and the 2R is the longest one. In comparison with the pattern of polytene chromosomes of A. minimus from Guangxi, difference at 12 positions has been found at the parts of arms in banding sequences.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing in treatment of cutaneous amyloidosis.Methods A total of 68 cases of primary cutaneous amyloidosis patients according to the different treatment methods was divided into two groups:the control group (n =33 cases) that was given acitretin capsules oral and topical compound flumetasone ointment packet treatment,and observation group (n =35 cases) with ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing external treatment.Two groups were observed in patients with curative effect and adverse reaction.Results Disease of integral observation group after treatment was significantly lower than the control group(t =3.12,P ＜0.05).The observation group had the efficiency of [88.6％ (31/35)] that was significantly higher than that of control group[17/33(51.5％),x2 =11.23,P ＜.0.01].The observation group had significantly shorter healing time [(5.38 ± 1.81) d] compared to the control group [(10.75 ±2.06)d,t =11.39,P ＜ 0.01].The observation group did not have recurrence,which was significantly different from the control group (x2 =4.90,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing in treatment of primary cutaneous amyloidosis is a kind of effective treatment methods with remarkable curative effect and less adverse reactions.It is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To assess the variation in patient setup corrections for three different anatomic treat-ment sites using daily pretreatment megavoltage CT(MVCT)in helical tomotherapy,and to analyze alternative refer-ence margins for specific tumor site.Methods Sixty patients treated for three anatomical sites on helical tomotherapy were analyzed.Daily MVCT was carried out for registration and setup corrections before each treatment fraction.Setup errors and rotational setup corrections from 587 head and neck,500 thoracic,371 abdomen and gynecology MCVT imaging were input to statistical analysis.Incidences of three dimensional vector error lengths were calculated for each anatomic site.Overall distribution histograms of the three -dimensionally error was presented using GraphPad Prism 5.The distributions of systematic and random setup errors were quantitative analyzed and the additional margins required were also taken into account.Results 1 458 MVCT scans were implemented for sixty patients.Head and neck had lower frequencies of translational setup errors than others.Frequency of at least 3mm three -dimensional setup errors for head and neck,thoracic,abdomen and gynecology was 55.3%,70.8%,79.8%,respectively.This fre-quency decreased to 17.5%,40.6%,47.2% if 3D vector distance ≥5mm was scored.Overall systematic errors ranged from -1.4mm to 2.7mm,abdomen and gynecology had the largest setup errors in the vertical direction which was statistically significant(χ2 =19.3,P <0.05).The suggested margins should be increased by 4 -7 mm in three -dimensional direction for head and neck,9 -14mm for thoracic,10 -17mm for abdomen and gynecology.Conclusion Differences in setup corrections are perceived between head and neck,thoracic,abdomen and gynecology.The accura-cy of patient positioning can be improved if pre -treatment daily MVCT scans are put into use.Results from setup cor-rection can provide evidence for tumor treatment margin and improve the accuracy of regular radiotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and staging value of orbital structures quantitative measurement with 3T mag-netic resonance imaging in patients with Graves’ophthalmopathy (GO).Methods Twenty-three GO patients (patient group)and eighteen healthy volunteers (contrast group)were enrolled.Quantitative measurement of orbital structures including exophthalmos values,fatty tissue thickness of the inner side of eye balls,cross-sectional areas of extraocular muscles and signal intensity ratios of extraocular muscles to the ipsilateral temporal muscles (SIR values),and they were compared between two groups.Correlations be-tween the quantitative values and clinical active score (CAS)were accessed.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)analysis was performed to evaluate the most relevant quantitative parameter and its diagnostic value in discriminating active from inactive GO pa-tients.Results There were significant differences between the GO group and contrast group regarding to all the quantitative parame-ters (P <0.05).Strong correlation was found between SIR values and CAS (r =0.730,P <0.001 ).Significant difference of SIR was found between patients with active GO and inactive GO (P =0.002),and a cut off value of 3.25 might be the critical threshold value,with diagnostic sensitivity of 81.8% and specificity of 83.3% respectively.Conclusion Quantitative measurement of orbital structures with 3T MR imaging could provide assistant in diagnosing and staging of GO.

Objective To explore the inter-fraction setup errors and affecting factors from data of daily fan-beam megavoltage computed tomography(MVCT). Methods A total of 37consecutive NPC patients treated with tomotherapy were hospitalized during the period of February 2015 to September 2015. For each patient,one MVCT scan was obtained after conventional positioning ,online correction and tomotherapy delivery daily ,and the scans were put into the planning computed tomography to determine inter-fraction setup errors. The MPTV was calculated with the equation:MPTV=2.5∑+0.7σ(∑:systematic error;σ:random error). Results The average absolute errors of the inter-fraction were(2.102 ± 0.0406)mm,(1.490 ± 0.0348)mm,(1.306 ± 0.335)mm and(1.392 ± 0.0384)° at three dimensions. The total MPTV accounting for inter-error was 3.4675 mm,2.9795 mm,and 2.8885 mm. Gradual increases in both inter-fraction three-dimensional displacement were observed with time and treatment(P < 0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that weight loss and retraction of neck lymph nodes were affecting factors of set-up errors. Conclusions 3 mm margins uniformly expended from clinical target volume to planning target volume may not be suitable. The personalized margin should be adopted for the design of IMRT planning. Displacement increases as a treatment course is prolonged.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) using regression analysis and verify the model.Methods:The risk factors and acute exacerbation of 1 326 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who entered the stable phase and followed up for 6 months in the four completed multi-center large-sample randomized controlled trials were retrospectively analyzed. Using the conversion-random number generator, about 80% of the 1 326 cases were randomly selected as the model group ( n = 1 074), and about 20% were the verification group ( n = 252). The data from the model group were selected, and Logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors for AECOPD, and an AECOPD risk prediction model was established; the model group and validation group data were substituted into the model, respectively, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to verify the effectiveness of the risk prediction model in predicting AECOPD. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in general information (gender, smoking status, comorbidities, education level, etc.), body mass index (BMI) classification, lung function [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), etc.], disease status (the number and duration of acute exacerbation in the past year, duration of disease, etc.), quality of life scale [COPD assessment test (CAT), etc.] and clinical symptoms (cough, chest tightness, etc.) between the model group and the validation group. It showed that the two sets of data had good homogeneity, and the cases in the validation group could be used to verify the effectiveness of the risk prediction model established through the model group data to predict AECOPD. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.679, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.221-2.308, P = 0.001], BMI classification ( OR = 0.576, 95% CI was 0.331-1.000, P = 0.050), FEV1 ( OR = 0.551, 95% CI was 0.352-0.863, P = 0.009), number of acute exacerbation ( OR = 1.344, 95% CI was 1.245-1.451, P = 0.000) and duration of acute exacerbation ( OR = 1.018, 95% CI was 1.002-1.034, P = 0.024) were independent risk factors for AECOPD. A risk prediction model for AECOPD was constructed based on the results of regression analysis: probability of acute exacerbation ( P) = 1/(1+ e- x), x = -3.274 + 0.518×gender-0.552×BMI classification + 0.296×number of acute exacerbation + 0.018×duration of acute exacerbation-0.596×FEV1. The ROC curve analysis verified that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of the model group was 0.740, the AUC of the verification group was 0.688; the maximum Youden index of the model was 0.371, the corresponding best cut-off value of prediction probability was 0.197, the sensitivity was 80.1%, and the specificity was 57.0%. Conclusion:The AECOPD risk prediction model based on the regression analysis method had a moderate predictive power for the acute exacerbation risk of COPD patients, and could assist clinical diagnosis and treatment decision in a certain degree.
