Objective To analyze the MRI features of fibrocystic breast disease (FBD). Methods 39 patients with pathologically proven FBD were retrospectively reviewed. The imaging protocol consisted of pro-contrast imagings and bilateral breast volume im-aging for breast assessme NT(VIBRANT). MRI features were interpreted based on the morphologic and enhancement kinetic de-scriptors defined on ACR DIRADS-MRI lexicon. Results There were 3 types on ACR BI-RADS-MRI lexicon in FBD,including 13 focal mass-type showing malignant enhancement kinetic pattern mostly;15 cyst-type with non-enhancement or mild enhance-ment,of them,1 case with periductal mastiffs showing strong enhancement and rapid up-slope and wash-out mimicking a breast cancer. 6 non-mass type usually showing benign enhancement kinetic pattern. In 5 patients,MRI did not show definite abnormal evi-dence. Conclusion MRI is of significant value in diagnosing FBD.

Objective To study the practicality and repeatability of B-mode ultrasonography on diagnosis and score of carotid atherosclerosis. Methods Ninety-nine B-mode ultrasonography pictures of carotid atherosclerosis were obtained from field investigation. According to the established standard(normal scored as 0, other scored as 1 - 7 by the severity), the 99 pictures were diagnosed and scored once together by three trained inexperienced members of the research team. Ten days later, these pictures were diagnosed and scored respectively, by the three members.The diagnostic results were analyzed with statistical methods to test the feasibility and repeatability of this set of diagnostic and scoring system. Results The joint diagnostic results by the three group members were regard as standard with scores 0 in 27 cases, 1 in 27 cases, 2 in 10 cases, 3 in 4 cases, 4 in 13 cases, 5 in 8 cases, 6 in 6 cases, and 7 in 4 cases. Independent diagnostic results by member A was 0 in 29 cases, 1 in 24 cases, 2 in 11 cases, 3 in 2 cases, 4 in 12 cases, 5 in 11 cases, 6 in 6 cases, and 7 in 4 cases. Independent diagnostic results by member B was 0 in 29 cases, 1 in 22 cases, 2 in 14 cases, 3 in 4 cases, 4 in 13 cases, 5 in 5 cases, 6 in 8 cases, and 7 in 4 cases. Independent diagnostic results by member C was 0 in 28 cases, 1 in 25 cases, 2 in 8 cases, 3 in 5 cases, 4 in 14 cases, 5 in 10 cases, 6 in 4 cases, and 7 in 5 cases. Comparison of the 4 diagnostic scores, the difference was not statistically significant(F = 0.019, P ＞ 0.05). Joint diagnostic results of the three members were compared with the standard and correlation coefficient were 0.977,0.987,0.932, respectively(all P ＜ 0.01 ). The correlation coefficient of diagnostic results of each member were 0.969,0.935,0.928, respectively (all P ＜0.01 ). Diagnostic results of each member were consistent with the standard and the compliance rate were 88.9% (88/99) ,90.9%(90/99) and 86.9%(86/99), respectively. Conclusions B-mode ultrasonography is a non-injure method for diagnosis of carotid atherosclerosis in epidemiology investigation. The method is easy to grasp and has a good repeatability.

Objective:To find absorbable adhesives with suitable bonding properties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post. To test and compare the bond strengths of absorbable polylactic acid root canal post with three different adhesives. Methods:The absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts were used to restore the extracted teeth, using 3 different adhesives: cyanoacrylates, fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement. The teeth were prepared into slices for micro-push-out test. The bond strength was statistically analyzed using ANOVA. The specimens were examined using microscope and the failure mode was divided into four categories:cohesive failure between absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and adhesives, cohesive failure between dentin and adhesives, failure within the adhesives and failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts. Results:The bond strength of cyanoacrylates [(16. 83 ± 6. 97) MPa] and glass ionomer cement [(12. 10 ± 5. 09) MPa] were significantly higher than fibrin sealant [ ( 1 . 17 ± 0 . 50 ) MPa ] , P <0 . 001 . There was no significant difference between cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement (P =0. 156). In the group of cyanoacrylates, the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 25 . 0%, the cohe-sive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 16. 7%, the failure within the adhesives was 33. 3%, and the failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts was 25 . 0%. In the group of fibrin sealant , the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 66 . 7%, the cohesive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 22 . 2%, the failure within the ad-hesives was 11. 1%. In the group of glass ionomer cement, the cohesive failure between the absorbablepolylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 87. 5%, the failure within the adhesives was 12. 5%. The major failure mode in fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement was the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives. No major failure modes were found in the group of cyanoacrylates. Conclusion:The bond strength of fibrin sealant is low, which cannot meet the requirement of clinical use. The bond strengths of cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement are suitable for clinical use. The cyanoacrylates are a kind of absorbable adhesive which has suitable bonding proper-ties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid (UA)levels and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk under specific lifestyle exposures.Methods Case-control study was used.Three hundred and ninety-seven PD cases and the same number of controls with matched age and gender were selected.Demographic and exposure information was collected by face-to-face interview,and blood biochemistry studies tested.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of PD risk with UA levels or enviromental factors.Results The highest value of UA levels was associated with a decreased PD risk compared to the lowest value (OR =0.39,95％ CI 0.25-0.63) in both male and female groups.This association was significant among nonsmokers (OR =0.52,95％ CI 0.32-0.76),nondrinkers (OR =0.4,95％ CI 0.34-0.70),and persons taking exercise more than 1 houre a day (OR =0.51,95％ CI 0.35-0.74).But no significant association was affected in the subjects with smoking or drinking history and those with less exercise (＜ 1 hour a day).Conclusion We confirmed that higher UA levels were associated with lower PD risk in Chinese population,and some lifestyles may modify the protection effect of serum UA.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common kind of vertigo,which can be divided into idiopathic and secondary types.Head trauma,surgery,and inner ear diseases may induce the secondary BPPV,but the etiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic BPPV is still unknown.Recent studies indicate that multiple factors are associated with idiopathic BPPV;in this article we will review the risk factors of idiopathic BPPV.
