Objective To evaluate the Chinese version of Benefit Finding Scale (BFS) for breast cancer patients.Methods After consent of the author,according to the flow path of scales,we established the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of BUS,a convenience sample of 293 patients were recruited for evaluation.Results The Chinese version of BFS was comprised of 19 items,Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.911,test-retest reliability was 0.812,I-CVI was 0.833～1.000,S-CVI was 0.955.Meanwhile,exploratory analysis showed that the most interpretable solution consisted of 3 factors,the accumulative variance contribution which explained 55.101％ of variance of the total scale.The related validity showed that the correlative coefficient of Chinese version of BUS and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) was 0.745.Conclusions It suggests that the 19-item Chinese version of the BFS has good reliability and validity,which could be used as a research tool for measuring breast cancer patients' benefit finding.

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of auricularia auricular polysaccharide (AAP) on the myocardial injury induced by ischemia and its underlying mechanism. METHODS:AAP was orally administrated to rats at the does of 50, 100 or 200 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) for 20 d. Myocardial injury was induced in anesthetized Sprague - Dawley rats by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation. Myocardial infarct size, the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) , the production of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein level of myocardial collagen of the heart were measured. RESULTS: The average myocardial infarct size in AAP groups was significantly smaller than that in ischemia group. The level of serum LDH induced by regional myocardial ischemia was significantly decreased in AAP group compared to ischemia group ( P < 0.01). AAP inhibited the production of MDA and increased the activity of SOD. Furthermore, AAP reduced the protein level of myocardial collagen after ischemia (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: AAP prevents myocardium from ischemia injury as an antioxidant.

AIM: To investigate the effects of auricularia auricular polysaccharide (AAP) on chronic cerebral ischemia injury in rats. METHODS: The chronic cerebral ischemia mode1 was made by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) on the right side. AAP at different doses (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) was intragastrically administered at the onset of ischemia and in the following days after operation, once a day for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of MCAO, Morris water maze test was introduced to examine the learning and memory functions. Nissl staining was performed to detect the survival neurons in hippocampal slices. Level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in brain tissue were measured. RESULTS: Rats treated with AAP showed a shorter escaping latency in spacial navigation test because the AAP treated rats spent less time to find the platform in spatial probe test. More survival neurons in hippocampal slices were observed from AAP treated rats. Also, the MDA level in brain tissue was reduced and SOD activity in brain tissue was increased in the AAP treated rats with MCAO. CONCLUSION: AAP protects rats from chronic brain ischemic injury, in which its anti-oxidative effect might be involved.

Objective To study the effects on tissue CT number caused by scan protocols.Methods The phantom was repeatedly scanned in different protocols by changing only one of parameters,such as X-ray tube voltage,mAs and recon kernel,while other parameters were ketp unchanged.The CT number of different materials in phantom were measured and analyzed.Results The CT numbers of tissues changed remarkably with the tube voltage and had different relativity for different tissues.The CT numbers had positive correlation with kV for such maierials as polyethyle,lexan,perspex,but for teflon the correlation was negative.The mAs and recon kernel had no effects on CT number.Conclusions The CT number of tissue changes with scanning X-ray tube voltage,so the setting of scan parameters should be taken into account in image diagnosis and radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of periurethral injection of insulin-like growth factor(IGF)-Ⅰ on the expression of IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA during regeneration period following urethral sphincter muscle injury in female rats. Methods Model of urethral sphincter muscle injury was made in female virgin SD rats (n=50) by intravaginal balloon inflation. Then the rats were divid-ed randomly into treatment group (n= 25) and control group (n= 25), treatment group accepted peri-urethral injection of 1.0μg human IGF-Ⅱ to the middle urethral muscle, control group accepted nor-mal saline injection. Five rats in each group were sacrificed at 2, 4, 6, 8, 14 day respectively and the whole urethra specimens were processed for RT-PCR to detect the expression of IGF-Ⅰ ,Ⅱ mRNA. A normal control group (n = 5) was set without intravaginal balloon inflation and injection. Results The expression of IGF-Ⅰ mRNA in control group increased at day 4, 6, 8, 14, the IGF-Ⅰ/β-actin ra-tios were 0. 58±0.15, 1.73±0.31, 2.30±0.29, 0. 46±0. 06. The expression of IGF-Ⅰ mRNA in treatment group increased at all time points, as 0. 69±0.21, 1.45±0.17, 2.25±0.45, 2.90±0.49, 1.92±0. 31. The difference was significant on day 4, 14(P<0.01), and day 8 (P<0.05) compared with the control group. The expression of IGF-Ⅱ mRNA in control group increased at day 4, 6, 8, as 0.42±0. 14, 1.51±0. 59, 1.31±1.04. The expression of IGF-Ⅱ mRNA in treatment group in-creased at day 4, 6, 8, 14, as 1.04±0.23, 1.94±0.29, 1.75±0.41, 0. 81±0.15. The significant difference was noted on day 4 (P<0. 01)compared with the control group. No expression of IGF-Ⅰand Ⅱ mRNA in the normal control group. Conclusions The expression of endogenous IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA was up-regulated by periurethral injection of IGF-Ⅰ during regeneration period follow-ing urethral sphincter muscle injury in female rat. Our findings suggest that IGF-Ⅰ facilitates the re-generation of the urethral muscles and may play a role in treatment of stress urinary incontinence in-duced by urethral sphincter muscle dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the P2X3 receptor expression in L6-S1 dorsal root ganglion (DRG)and bladder detrusor in a rat model of neurogenic bladder and urethra. Methods Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats wererecruited and randomly divided into a sacral injury group, a suprasacral injury group and a control group. Spinal tran-section was performed to establish the animal model of neurogenic bladder and urethra in rats of the sacral injurygroup and suprasacral injury group. Check the P2X3 receptor expression in DBG and bladder detrusor among thethree groups by Western blot test at 20 days after model establishment. Results P2X3 receptor expression in L6-S1DRG of sacral injury group was significantly less than that of the suprasacral injury group, which was in turn signifi-cantly higher than that of the control group. P2X3 receptor expression in bladder detrusor of sacral injury group wassignificantly lower than that of the suprasacral injury group, which was in turn significantly higher than that of thecontrol group. Conclusion There was close relationship between P2X3 receptor expression and dysfunction of blad-der and urethra.

Objective:To investigate the value of MR subtraction images in improving the interobserver agreement for Bosniak Ⅱ, ⅡF, and Ⅲ cystic renal masses (CRMs) with Bosniak classification version 2019.Methods:From January 2009 to August 2020, 323 patients (335 CRMs) with surgical pathology results and complete preoperative MRI examination (T 2WI, T 1WI precontrast images and enhanced MRI in corticomedullary, nephrographic, and excretory phases) were retrospectively collected in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital. The CRMs of Bosniak Ⅱ, ⅡF, and Ⅲ were selected and classified by 2 experienced genitourinary radiologists according to the Bosniak classification version 2019. The "Subtraction" function in the American GE ADW 4.4 workstation was used to perform subtraction images reconstruction on the enhanced images in the corticomedullary, nephrographic, and excretory phases. Blinded to pathologic information, the other 2 radiologists independently classified the enrolled CRM cases with and without subtraction MR images, respectively, with an interval of 1 month. Ultimately, by using weighted Kappa value, interobserver agreement was evaluated, and the differences in weighted Kappa value were compared using the Gwet coefficient. Results:A total of 187 patients with 187 CRMs were enrolled in the study. The results of the classification of Bosniak Ⅱ, ⅡF, and Ⅲ CRMs categorized by 2 radiologists without and with subtraction images showed that 119 and 141 cases were consistent, and 68 and 46 were inconsistent, respectively. The weighted Kappa value for interobserver agreement among two radiologists without and with subtraction MR images was 0.60 (95%CI 0.53-0.68) and 0.73 (95%CI 0.66-0.80), respectively. The interobserver agreement was higher with subtraction images than that without subtraction images ( t=-2.56, P=0.011). Conclusion:According to the MRI criteria of Bosniak classification version 2019, the interobserver agreement for Bosniak Ⅱ, ⅡF, and Ⅲ CRMs could be improved using subtraction MR images, which may facilitate the popularization and application of Bosniak classification version 2019.

Objective:To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bladder urothelial carcinoma(BUC).Methods:A comparative analysis of 138 patients with bladder lesions (123 cases of BUC and 15 cases of other benign lesions) who were hospitalized in Union Hospital, Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to May 2021 were confirmed by pathology. All patients underwent two-dimensional ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, CEUS examination, the time intensity curve (TIC) of the region of interest(ROI) before operation was drawn, the ultrasound examination results with the pathological diagnosis results were compared and its diagnostic efficiency was analyzed.Results:Among the 138 cases of bladder lesions, 98 cases were single lesions and 40 cases were multiple lesions. In all single lesions, 95 cases were found by two-dimensional ultrasound and 3 cases were missed, while in all multiple lesions, 24 cases were found by two-dimensional ultrasound and 16 cases were missed, but all cases could be shown by CEUS. The sensitivity of CEUS to multiple bladder lesions was higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasound ( P<0.05). Besides, the differences between BUC and benign lesions in color blood flow distribution intensity and CEUS performance were significant (both P<0.05). Malignant lesions were mostly "less- to -rich" blood flow signals, and benign lesions were mainly "less- to- no" blood flow signals.In addition, in the CEUS examination, 83.7% (103/123) of BUC were high enhancement, and only 33.3% (5/15) of benign lesions were high enhancement. The diagnostic accuracy, specificity and negative predictive value of CEUS(89.9%, 46.7%, 53.8%) were higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasound(67.4%, 13.3%, 13.3%). The area under the curve, the rising slope and the peak intensity of BUC were all higher than those of benign lesions, and the differences were significant(all P<0.05), but none of them was independent risk factor for BUC ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CEUS can significantly improve the diagnostic sensitivity of bladder multiple lesions and help to improve the diagnostic accuracy of BUC, while the area under the curve, the rising slope and the peak intensity of TIC were not the independent risk factors for BUC.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of fat suppression (FS) T 2WI on the interobserver agreement and diagnostic performance of clear cell likelihood score version 2.0 (ccLS v2.0) for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods:In this retrospective study, the MR images of 111 patients with pathologically confirmed small renal masses (SRM) from January to December 2021 were analyzed in the First Medical Centre, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Of the 111 SRM, 82 cases were ccRCC and 29 cases were non-ccRCC. Two radiologists independently assessed ccLS scores based on T 2WI signal intensity (hypointense, isointense, hyperintense) and other MRI features (ccLS-T 2WI). After a one-month interval, the ccLS scores were independently evaluated utilizing the frequency-selective saturation FS-T 2WI and other MRI features (ccLS-FS-T 2WI). Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the difference in SRM signal intensity on T 2WI and FS-T 2WI. The weighted Kappa test was performed to assess the interobserver agreement of the two radiologists, and differences in the weighted Kappa coefficients were compared using the Gwet consistency coefficient. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ccLS-T 2WI and ccLS-FS-T 2WI in diagnosing ccRCC, and the area under the curve (AUC) was compared utilizing the DeLong test. Results:The signal intensity of 111 SRM on T 2WI and FS-T 2WI had statistically significant difference (χ 2=126.33, P<0.001), consistent in 88 cases (79.3%) and varied in 23 cases (20.7%). The weighted Kappa coefficient of ccLS-T 2WI was 0.57 (95%CI 0.45-0.69) between the two radiologists, and the weighted Kappa coefficient of ccLS-FS-T 2WI was 0.55 (95%CI 0.42-0.67), and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=-0.65, P=0.520). The AUC of ccLS-T 2WI for ccRCC diagnosis was 0.92 (95%CI 0.86-0.97), while the AUC of ccLS-FS-T 2WI for ccRCC diagnosis was 0.91 (95%CI 0.85-0.96), and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=1.50, P=0.133). Conclusions:The interobserver agreement and diagnostic performance of ccLS v2.0 based on T 2WI and FS-T 2WI sequences for ccRCC are comparable, and FS-T 2WI is applicable for the clinical application of ccLS v2.0.
