Objective To discuss the value of dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT on the efficacy evaluation of small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods A total of 18 patients with SCLC confirmed by pathology who received cisplatin plus etoposide chemotherapy between June 2016 and June 2018 in the 8th Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital were collected.All patients received 320 row CT perfusion scan at 3 time points before chemotherapy,after 2 cycles and 4 cycles of chemotherapy.Tumor size,perfusion pseudo color map and bronchial arterial blood flow (BF),pulmonary flow (PF) and perfusion index (PI) were obtained.The efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated.The single factor analysis was used to make the group comparison.Pearson test was used to make correlation analysis.Results Two patients after 2 cycles of chemotherapy had complete remission (CR),another 2 patients after 4 cycles of chemotherapy had CR,and 3 patients of the above 4 cases with CR had abundant BF;after 4 cycles of chemotherapy,7 cases had partial remission (PR),6 cases had stable disease (SD),1 patient had progression of disease (PD).Dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT showed that 10 cases had the tumor area < 15 cm2 and 8 cased had the tumor area >15 cm2 before the treatment.There was a negative correlation between PI and the tumor area (r =-0.694,P =0.026) on patients with the tumor area < 15 cm2 before the treatment,and no correlation was found in patients with tumor area >15 cm2 (P > 0.05).One case had Ⅳ degree of bone marrow suppression,and obvious adverse reactions were not seen in the rest of the patients.Conclusion Dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT based on the simple imaging can make an accurate quantitative judgement of the effect of SCLC according to perfusion parameter,which provides a new basis for curative effect evaluation on SCLC.

Septic shock is one of the leading causes of death in children,especially infants,both domestically and internationally.Research has found that patients with septic shock often have abnormal thyroid function,which affects their prognosis.This article reviewed the changes in thyroid hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels,the reasons for these changes,and the mechanisms by which thyroid function affects the immune system in patients with septic shock,aiming to provide new ideas for clinical treatment.

Objective To study the relationship between bronchial asthma and smoking status in Chinese people.Methods Asthma epidemiological survey and stratified-cluster-random method survey were performed in residents over 14 years in 8 provinces (cities) of China from February 2010 to August 2012.Asthma was diagnosed based upon case history,clinical signs and lung function test.Smoking status was investigated by questionnaire.Results Sampling population was 180 099 and 164 215 were valid.A total of 2 034 subjects were diagnosed as asthma including 79 692 men and 84 523 women.The overall prevalence rate of asthma was 1.24% (2 034/164 215).Smokers were 23.8% (39 137/164 215) in the whole population.Smokers were 34.5% (702/2 034) in asthmatic patients,compared with 23.7% (38 435/ 162 181) in no-asthmatic population.The incidence of asthma was 1.79% and 1.06% in smokers and nonsmokers respectively (P <0.001),suggesting that OR of smoking was 1.70 (95% CI 1.55-1.86,P < 0.001).According to asthma control test (ACT) score,the level of asthma control in non smoking group was higher than that in smoking group(43.2% vs 35.3%).The times of hospitalization due to acute exacerbations (0.51 vs 0.41 events/person/year),total hospitalization rate (27.35 % vs 20.12%),annual emergency room visits (0.80 vs 0.60 events/person/year) and emergency room visit rate (31.77% vs 24.47%) were all much higher in smoking asthmatic patients than those in non smoking asthmatic patients,indicating that the level of asthma control in smoking patients was significantly worse than in non smoking patients.Conclusions The smoking rate in Chinese people over 14 years is still high.The prevalence rate of asthma in smokers is significantly higher than that of non-smokers.The level of asthma control in smokers is significantly worse than that in non smokers.
