Journal of Kunming Medical University 2016;37(11):89-92
Objectives To explore the ultrasonic features in the differential diagnosis of thyroid multiple nodules with thyroid carcinoma and summarize the causes of misdiagnosis,and to improve the accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.Methods The ultrasound images from the 40 patients with thyroid carcinoma were selected,whose diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma was confirmed by the pathological examinations after surgery but misdiagnosed or not identified by ultrasound examination.These ultrasound images were retrospectively analyzed through observing the carcinomatous nodules in size,aspect ratio,shape,border,envelope,internal echo,calcification characteristics,posterior echo,acoustic halo,the distribution of blood flow,and the relationship with thyroid capsule and anterior organization,whether to transfer to neck or spraclavicular lymph nodes,and the performance of elasticity imaging,and then these features were compared with the ultrasonic features of the benign thyroid nodules.Results The ultrasonic features of thyroid multiple nodules with thyroid carcinoma were complicated and each nodule should be observed and analyzed individually.The ultrasonic features of carcinomatous nodules were:(1) irregnlar shape,(2)aspect ratio ≥ 1,(3)unclear border,(4)no capsule,(5)heterogeneous hypo echo inside of the carcinomatous nodules,(6)scattered distribution of clustered microcalcifications,(7)incomplete acoustic halo or absent,(8)blood supply to the centrality inside of the carcinomatous nodules,(9)invaded thyroid capsule and anterior organizations,(10)transformation to neck or supraclavicular lymph nodes in the minority of patients,(11) elasticity imaging score of 3 ~ 5.Conclusions It is quite difficult to identify the ultrasonic features of thyroid multiple nodules with thyroid carcinoma and it is with high misdiagnosis rate.A comprehensive analysis of sonographic features is essential in clinical practices,and it will contribute to improving the accuracy of the ultrasonic diagnosis of thyroid multiple nodules with thyroid carcinoma.

Objectives To understand the social support levels among breast cancer patients in Yunnan, as well as to explore the factors associated with social support. Methods According to the unified inclusion and exclusion criteria,121 breast cancer in-patients with chemotherapy were interviewed with structured questionnaire. Social demographic characteristics, Xiao's Social Support Rating Scale,General Self-Efficacy Scale,clinical and experimental data were collected. SPSS version19.0 was used to analyze the frequency and the correlation between social support and influential variables were analyzed by using the chi-square test and non-parametric test. Results The levels of social support in total, objective social support, subjective social support and utilization degree for breast cancer patients were (49.43 ±5.69), (13.35 ±2.51), (27.59 ±3.78), (8.50 ±1.98) respectively. Marriage status and self-efficacy were associated with social support level significantly. The influencing factors such as age, education level, marital status, occupation, income, place of residence, religion, medical expenses payment type, self-efficacy were included in the univariate analysis. However, only marital status and self efficacy were positively correlated with social support (p<0.05) . Conclusions The breast cancer patients in Yunnan have a higher social support level overall. Having-marriage status and higher self-efficacy have a positive influence on breast cancer in patients' social support level.

Platelet play an important role in cerebral ischemial nerve injury. Aspirin (ASA) had been used to treat and prevent stroke in clinic. 30 rabbits were randomly divided into A, B and C groups. In group A ASA was given orally at a daily dosage of 15 mg/kg per rabbit for 5 days before cerebral ischemia; group B cerebral ischemia without giving ASA, and group C was normal rabbits as controls. The cerebral ischemial model was produced by occluding bilateral carotid arteries and bleeding from femoral artery. The results indicated that there was an obvious decrease of PAgT and TXA_2 and had no significance changes in free radicals increasing and Ca~(2+) rising from cerebral tissue in group A. The cerebral edema of group A was less severe than group B. It seemed that ASA had a protective effect on the nerve injury of cerebral ischemia. The derangement of ASA, platelet, free radicals and calcium ions interrelation and their significance on the nerve injury should be further studied.

Objective To evaluate the effect and side effects of Kezhi capsule in short-term treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods 60 NAFLD cases of outpatients according to the inclusion criteria of were randomly assigned to two groups: the treated group-30cases with the prescription of Kezhi capsule , and the control group-30cases with the prescription of Xuezhikang. The treatment Course of taking Kezhi capusule (1.25 g, tid, po) and Xuezhikang(0.6 g, bid, po)was 24 weeks. Results After treatment in both groups we saw the significant decrease of the levels of ALT, AST, TC, TG, LDL-C, CREAT, BUN, BMI and TCM Syndromes scores, and the improvement of the ultrasonographic findings of liver steatosis. In the Xuezhikang group we saw higher decrease of TC and TG than the Kezhi capsule group with statistic difference (P < 0.05), while in Kezhi capsule group we saw higher decrease of BMI , TCM Syndromes scores and the improvement of the ultrasonographic findings of liver steatosis than the xuezhikang group with statistic difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions The results show that kezhi capsule is effective for the treatment of NAFLD without obvious side effects.

Objective:To preliminarily investigate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced giant cervical cancer (LACC).Methods:Twenty-four patients with LACC who were treated with bevacizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy were assigned into the study group, and 30 patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy in phase Ⅱ clinical trial (ChiCTR-TRC-11001832) were allocated in the control group. The survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan- Meier method, and the significance of differences between the variables was determined by the log-rank test. Results:The tumor volumes were (1.64±23.15) cm 3 and (12.83±15.08)( P=0.037), and the complete remission (CR) rates were calculated as 45.8% and 13.3%( P=0.004) in the study and control groups after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The tumor volumes were (0±1.5) cm 3 and (1.00±10.63) cm 3( P=0.022) and the CR rates were 70% and 50%( P=0.009) in the study and control groups before afterloading treatment. The median follow-up was 24.6(9.3-101.7) months. The 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 96%, 96% and 90%, 71%( P=0.110), the recurrence-free survival rates was 96%, 96% and 97%, 89%( P=0.512), and the distant metastasis-free survival rates were 96%, 88% and 83%, 80%( P=0.297) in the study and control groups, respectively. Adverse reactions were acceptable in both groups. Conclusion:Bevacizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy can significantly reduce the tumor volume, improve the tumor CR rate and yield tolerable adverse reactions.

In order to observe the effect of the immune and weight of chickens after use the attenuated vaccine with low dose of chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV). In this study, the effects of low dose of CIAV on the weight of SPF chickens and NDV antibody production were observed by simulated experiments. The results showed that 10 EID50 and 5 EID50 CIAV per plume attenuated NDV vaccines were used to cause the weight loss of SPF chickens. Compared with the use of the non contaminated vaccine group, it has significant difference. And NDV antibody levels compared with the use of the non contaminated groups also decreased after use the vaccine with two doses of CIAV contaminated. It has significant difference. A certain proportion of CIAV antibody positive was detected at the beginning of the second week after use the NDV vaccine with two doses of CIAV contaminated. The detection of a high proportion of CIAV nucleic acid was detected in the first week after the use of a contaminated vaccine. The results of the study demonstrate the effects of CIAV pollution on the production and immune function of SPF chickens, and it is suggested that increasing the detection of viral nucleic acid can help save time and improve the detection rate in the detection of exogenous virus contamination by SPF chicken test method.
