Purpose To explore the diagnostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (DCE-CT) in the differential diagnosis of chromophobic renal cell carcinoma (CRCC) and renal oncocytoma (RO). Materials and Methods A retrospective study was carried out on the DCE-CT findings of 24 patients with pathologically-proved CRCCs and 17 patients with pathologically-confirmed ROs. The enhancement percentage (EP) and the enhancement index (EI) of both types of lesions were compared on corticomedullary phase and nephrographic phase. Results CRCCs on corticomedullary phase and nephrographic phase:EP (132.8±39.8)%and (99.2±32.5)%, respectively;EI 0.31±0.11 and 0.30±0.12, respectively. ROs on corticomedullary phase and nephrographic phase:EP (234.1±129.1)%and (195.4±87.1)%, respectively;EI 0.66±0.33 and 0.68±0.28, respectively. Both EP and EI of CRCCs and ROs showed statistical difference (P<0.05). As the threshold value of EI on nephrograhic phase was 0.44, the sensitivity was 82.4%, specificity was 91.7% and Youden index was 0.74. Conclusion Imaging features of DCE-CT, especially EI on nephrographic phase, are helpful in the differential diagnosis of CRCC and RO.

Hepatocelular carcinoma ( HCC) is one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide. Although surgical resection offers a better curative option than nonsurgical treatments, it is not an option for the majority of patients with poor hepatic function or at an advanced stage when diagnosed.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an alternative and effective nonsurgical treatment for HCC. Evaluation of the effect of TACE is important to develop a best therapeutic strategy. From January 2009 to December 2010, 28 patients with HCC received TACE at the PLA General Hospital, and the results of magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) were analyzed. Fifty-one lesions were detected and the maximum diameter of the lesions was 14.7 cm. Twenty-eight lesions in 16 patients which showed variable signal intensity on T1- and T2 -weighted images and iso- or hypointensity on diffusion-weighted image ( DWI) had no enhancement. Five lesions of 10 tumors in four patients had focal enhancement in the first MRI after TACE that displayed hyperintensity on DWI. Eight patients had been found with tumor recurrence or metastasis when they received MRI for the second time. The recurrent, residual and intrahepatic metastatic tumors enhanced rapidly at dynamic early phase scanning and demonstrated hyperintensity on T2 -weighted images.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are rare tumors with malignant potential.The pNENs could be classified into functional or nonfunctional according to associated clinical symptoms.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful for preoperative diagnosis of nonfunctional pNENs.The clinical data of 22 patients with nonfunctional pNENs who were admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2010 to February 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Nonfunctional pNENs were characterized by moderate to marked,consistent or progressive enhancement with capsule-like enhancement on dynamic contrast MRI,which is very important for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pNENs.

Based on the implementation of GMP, comprehensive improvement of quality control measures, and consideration of the 3Rs principle for experimental animals, Several years ago, WHO, the European Pharmacopoeia and the FDA gradually abolished the testing for abnormal toxicity of biological products, and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition(Volume Ⅲ)also revised the testing for abnormal toxicity of biological products. In order to help users of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Volume Ⅲ) better understand and implement this pharmacopoeia, this article provides a detailed review of the changes in regulatory concepts for abnormal toxicity test in various countries and the process of gradually phasing out abnormal toxicity test, as well as the actual situation of China’s pharmaceutical industry. It also interprets the ideas and considerations for revising the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition(Volume Ⅲ) on abnormal toxicity test for biological products.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of prospective electrocardiogram(ECG)-gating computed tomography coronary angiography(CTCA).Methods Sixty patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease underwent 64-slice CTCA using prospective ECG-gating.Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR),curved-planar reconstruction(CPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP)and volume rendering (VR)were used to demonstrate the coronary arteries.The image quality and radiation dose was evaluated.Results The mean effective radiation dose was(2.7±0.2)mSv.93.3%(720/772)segments of all coronary arteries were of diagnostic image quality,44.2%(341/772)Was classified as excellent and 49.1%(379/772)was good.Non-diagnostic coronary segments were found in 6.7%(52/772)of all coronary arteries.Therewere 5(8.3%)cases with severe coronary stenosis(＞75%)or occlusion,17(28.4%)cases with moderate stenosis(50%-75%),18(30.0%)cases with mild stenosis(＜50%)or irregular lumen,20(33.3%)cases with normal coronary artery.Conclusion With a low radiation dose,prospective electrocardiogram(ECG)-gated coronary 64-MSCT angiography has a good potential for the detection of coronary stenosis,especially for excluding coronary artery disease.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of gram-negative bacilli isolated from wound specimens of orthopedic patients,and provide reference for the rational use of antimicrobial agents. Methods 682 isolates of gram-negative bacilli were collected from orthopedic department in a comprehensive hospi-tal between January 2011 and December 2013, antimicrobial susceptibility testing results were analyzed. Results The main gram-negative bacilli isolated from wound specimens of orthopedic patients were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P .aeruginosa)(16.72%),Escherichia coli (E.coli)(15.40%),and Enterobacter cloacae (E.cloa-cae)(12.76%).The detection rates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E.coli and Klebsialla pneu-moniae (K .pneumoniae)were 54.29%(57/105)and 31 .43% (22/70)respectively,and mainly distributed in the trauma orthopedic department,accounting for 49.12% and 45.45% respectively.The susceptibility rates of E.coli, K .pneumoniae ,and E.cloacae to meropenem and imipenem were all 100.00%.The susceptibility rates of E.coli and K .pneumoniae to amikacin,piperacillin-tazobactam and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid were all >80%.Suscepti-bility rate of E.cloacae to most antimicrobial agents were 71 .26% -100.00% except for piperacillin(64.37%). Susceptibility rates of P .aeruginosa to most antimicrobial agents were >85% except for cefepime (78.95%)and aztreonam (65.79%).Conclusion Gram-negative bacilli are the most common pathogens in wound infection of or-thopedics patients.In order to use antimicrobial agents rationally and improve clinical treatment effect,it is impor-tant to realize the distribution of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance.

Purpose To investigate CT and MRI manifestations of renal cell carcinoma associated with Xp11.2 translocation/TFE3 gene fusions (abbreviation as Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma).Materials and Methods Eighteen cases of Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Ten patients underwent CT scans,2 of them had unenhanced CT and 8 of them had pre-and post-contrast CT scan.Fourteen cases underwent plain and multi-phase contrast MRI scan,including 2 cases with unenhanced CT and 4 cases with pre-and post-contrast CT scan.The location,size,shape,density/signal,blood supply and the enhancement of the Xpl 1.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma were analyzed.Results All of the 18 tumors located in the corticomedullary with 17 solid lesions and 1 cystic lesion.The mean maximum diameter of the tumor was (4.6±2.0) cm.Thirteen lesions were circular or oval and 5 were irregularly or lobulated lesions.Ten lesions showed slightly high or high density on unenhanced CT,and the average CT value was (50.6± 11.5) HU,in which 4 lesions showed calcification.Among 8 cases of enhanced CT,1 lesion showed abundant blood supply,while 7 lesions showed lack of blood supply.Fourteen cases of MRI scan exhibited various imaging features with short T1 and T2 signal,and the persistent enhancement in the medullary phase.The MRI findings were further divided into 3 types according to the signal intensity and blood supply except 1 cystic lesion:① 5 lesions predominantly with short T1 and T2 signal were lack of blood supply;② 4 lesions predominantly with slightly longer T1 and T2 signal were abundant blood supply;③ 4 lesions predominantly with equal T1 and T2 signal were relatively lack of blood supply.Conclusion The CT and MRI features of Xpl 1.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma had certain manifestations:slightly high or high density nodule or mass located in corticomedullary on pre-contrast CT scan,various signal intensity with short T1 and T2 signal on MRI,and the persistent enhancement in the medullary phase.These image features combined with clinical data are helpful for diagnosis.

Objective To establish a rapid and sensitive method for detection of urinary protein.Methods In B-R buffer solution with pH 4.2,the signals of resonance light scattering by Poncesu S (PS) combined with protein in ?ex=?em=306nm were detected.Results There was a linear relation between the scattering signals of resonance light,and the protein concentration ranged from 0 to-1500 mg/l. The regression equation was ?I=2.24c-0.41,r=0.999 and the detection limit was 1.48 mg/l. The average recovery was 102.8% and the between-and within-subject coefficients of variation were 2.09% and 5.40% respectively.No significant difference was found compared with the method of PS.Conclusion The established method in this study is a simple,rapid and high sensitive method for determination of urinary protein.
