Purpose To analyze the relevance between magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging intratumoral susceptibility signal intensity (ITSS) and diffusion weighted imaging apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with different grade gliomas, and to explore the value of ITSS and ADC in the preoperative grading of gliomas. Materials and Methods Fifty-two cases of glioma patients underwent magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging and diffusion weighted imaging scans, all subjects were divided into low-grade glioma group (18 cases) and high-grade glioma group (34 cases) according to brain tumor grading standard, correlation between ITSS grade and ADC values with tumor grade was analyzed, and ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ITSS and ADC values in the grading of brain glioma. Results Difference of ITSS grading was statistically significant (χ2=27.458, P<0.01) among different grade gliomas;difference of ADC values between different grade gliomas was also statistically significant (U=689.000, P<0.01); there was a significant positive correlation (r=0.727, P<0.001) between ITSS grading and pathological grading, ADC values were significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.622, P<0.001) with tumor grading, and ITSS grading was significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.617, P<0.001) with ADC values among different grade brain gliomas. With pathological grading as reference standard, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ITSS for preoperative glioma grading was 85.29%, 77.78%, 82.69%, 87.88%and 73.68%, respectively, while the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ADC values for preoperative glioma grading was 97.06%, 88.89%, 94.23%, 94.29%and 94.12%, respectively. Conclusion There is a significant correlation between ITSS grading, ADC values and pathological grading of gliomas, the combination use of ITSS and ADC values can significantly improve the preoperative grading accuracy of brain glioma.

Objective By exploring the state of residents' living condition, it is helpful to promote the living condition of residents and improve the quality of medical services. Methods A qualitative re-search was conducted on 13 residents in 4 hospitals in Beijing by depth interview during April to May 2016, and the data were collected and analyzed by using Colaizzi seven step method. Results In terms of work, the residents had specific work, and the interpersonal relationship was more harmonious. In learning, residents were able to take the initiative to learn, and hoped to get more help in scientific research. In life, residents faced multiple pressures from the economy and the family. In the subjective cognition, the cogni-tion of resident was rational and objective. Conclusion The residents' work shows a heavy workload, and while working the residents need to take the study and the life pressure into account. And the residents can rationally recognize their role. To improve the living status of the resident physician, we need to integrate multiple forces, to promote the integration of live doctors into the hospital culture, and enhance their sense of existence. We also need to improve the construction of the system and improve the protection of live training physicians to enhance their sense of security. Most important of all, the whole society should pay more attention to the living condition of the residents and enhance their sense of access.

Objective To study the relevance of 1iver fibrosis at Kasai procedure with age, degree of pathological changes of liver tissue, header bile ductuler proliferation and pathological feature of portal fibrous tissue in biliary atresia patients. Methods From January 2013 to June 2016, 48 biliary atresia patients accepted Kasai procedure, and liver tissue biopsy and portal fibrous tissue excision was done. Level of liver fibrosis was evaluated under microscope using Masson trichrome staining and HE staining, and extent of ductular reaction was evaluated using CKl9 immunohistochemistry staining with image analysis technology. Based on classification of Okamoto severity degree of liver fibrosis, forty eight patients were divided into two groups:low-grade liver fibrosis group (23 patients)and severe liver fibrosis group (25 patients). The relevance of age at Kasai procedure, liver pathological changes, header bile ductuler proliferation, portal fibrous tissue in volume and bile ductuler proliferation, inflammation reaction with severity degree of liver fibrosis was analyzed with SPSSl6.0 software statistically. Results Age of severe 1iver fibrosis group at Kasai procedure were 38- 89 d, and the mean age was (62.64 ± 14.92) d. Age of low-grade 1iver fibrosis group were 18- 92 d, and the mean age was (53.13 ± 16.89) d. There was significant difference (t=2.071, P=0.044). Mean number of patients with header bile ductuler proliferation at Kasai procedure in severe 1iver fibrosis group and low-grade 1iver fibrosis group were (17.28 ± 4.31) cases and (11.39 ± 4.00) cases, and there was significant difference (t=4.900, P=0.000). There was significant difference in degree of hepatocellular pathological changes at Kasai procedure between groups (χ2 =4.691, P=0.030). There were no significant differences in the volume of portal fibrous tissue in volume (t=0.276, P=0.784), portal bile ducts proliferation (t=0.53, P=0.60) and inflammation reaction (χ2=3.074, P=0.080) between groups. Conclusions There is significant relevance between the degree of 1iver fibrosis in biliary atresia patients at Kasai procedure and age, level of hepatocellular pathological change and degree of header bile ductuler proliferation , The more older the age, the more sever the hepatocellular pathological change and the bile ductuler proliferation, the more sever the liver fibrous.
