1.Ultrasonic elastography diagnosis of special type breast cancers
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2010;26(4):683-685
Objective To assess the value of ultrasonic elastography in the diagnosis of special type breast cancers. Methods Routine ultrasonograms, color Doppler flow images and elasticity images of 13 patients with special type breast cancer confirmed surgical pathologically were retrospectively analyzed. Results The score of mucinous carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer (1 patient), lactation breast cancer, invasive micropapillary carcinoma, tubular carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma (2 patients) were 4-5. The score of 1 patient of invasive lobular carcinoma was 1 and 1 patient of lactation breast cancer was 3. The characteristics of color Doppler flow imaging of majority patients were varies, while no obvious lesion was observed in Paget's disease. Conclusion Ultrasonic elastography is helpful to the diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer, lactation breast cancer, invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast, papillary carcinoma and tubular carcinoma of the breast. Early diagnosis of Paget's disease still depends on pathology.

Objective To observe the effect of extracts from Flos Lonicerae inhibiting influenza A virus FM1 strain. Method Use the method of hemagglutination test, determine the hemagglutination inhibition titer that extracts from Flos Lonicerae inhibiting influenza A virus in vitro and in embryonated egg. Result Compared with the control group, the hemagglutination inhibition titer of extracts from Flos Lonicerae group were degraded. The depressant effect kept on from 1 hour to 24 hour, and the depressant effect were degraded with the stepping down of the concentration. At the concentration of 100, 50, 25 mg/mL, extracts from Flos Lonicerae had the preventative effect and therapeutical effect on embryonated egg infected by influenza A virus (P

Objective: To investigate the hemodynamic changes of ophthalmic artery(OA) and central retinal artery(CRA) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG) and the effects of intraocular pressure(IOP) on retrobulbar hemodynamics. Methods: Following the measurement of IOP by non-contact tonometry,hemodynamic changes of OA and CRA were examined by color Doppler imaging(CDI) in 45 patients(90 eyes) with PACG,who were divided according to IOP into a hypertension(38 eyes) and a normal tension group(52 eyes).Observations were made of the peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV),pulsatility index(PI) and resistance index(RI).Results: Significant differences were found between the PACG patients and the normal controls in CRA-EDV(P

Objective To study the effect of telbivudine (TBV) on the ratio of CD4+ CD25+CD127low/-regulatory T cell (Treg) of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods The ratios of Treg before and after treatment for 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks with TBV of thirty-five patients with HBeAg-positive CHB were detected. Results Ratios of Treg were (12.55 ± 1.78)%, (10.42 ± 1.04)%, (9.55 ± 0.74)%, (8.78 ± 0.67)%, (8.74 ± 0.71)%respectively before and after treatment of 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks and all the values were lower than its former one (P < 0.05), except the 48 weeks′. Conclusions The ratio of Treg of HBeAg (+) CHB decreases after treatment with TBV.

Objective To evaluate the impact of PET/CT on the clinical therapeutical strategy of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Sixty patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC supposed to accept radical radiotherapy or surgical operation were firsthy divided into group A (stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ) and group B (stage Ⅲ) according to CT findings, and the individualized treatment strategy was designed, then restage and compare with different stage and management with initial treatment strategy by PET/CT scanning. Results ①PET/CT scanning restaged the TNM stage in 53.33% (32/60) patients, including 3 of T stage, 23 of N stage and 9 of M stage. Changes of stage occurred in 65.85% (27/41) patients with adenocarcinoma and in 26.32% (5/19) with squamous carcinoma (P<0.05), while in 34.29 (12/35) with central and 57.14% (20/35) with peripheral NSCLCs (P<0.05). ②PET/CT scanning resulted in alteration of the managements of NSCLC patients. The management changed from radical into palliative strategy with PET/CT information in 9 (15.00%) patients. In 25 patients who were supposed to accept surgical operation, the treatment changed to radical radiotherapy in 8 (8/25, 32.00%) and to palliative radiotherapy in 5 (20.00%) patients. In 35 patients who were supposed to accept radiotherapy, surgical operation or palliative radiotherapy was finally chosen in 5.71% (2/35) and 11.43% (4/35) patients, respectively. Conclusion PET/CT images can make significant alteration to clinical stage and treatment plan in patients with NSCLC.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of infective endocarditis in children. Methords Clinical data from 83 patients of infective endocarditis admitted from 1998 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Results In a total of 83 patients, there were 53 males and 30 females, and the average age was 6.8±4.6 years. The main clinical characteristics were fever (77.1%) and mild to moderate anemia (71.1%). The C-reaction protein (67.5%), erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate (60.2%), and white blood cell (47.0%) were elevated. Twenty (24.1%) patients had embolism. Blood culture was pos-itive in 56 (67.5%) cases with bacteria mainly being Gram-positive and Streptococcus and Staphylococcus accounted for 89.3%. Vancomycin and other sensitive antibiotics were effective. Neoplasm was detected in 68 cases (82%) by transthoracic echocar-diograerphy. Fifty-ifve (66.2%) patients underwent cardio surgery. Seven patients (8.4%) died. Conclusion In recent years, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in infective endocarditis had changed. Streptococcus mitis and Staphylococcus aureus has become a major pathogens and need to be treated by vancomycin and other sensitive antibiotics. The detection rate of neoplasm is higher by echocardiography.

[Objective] To evaluate the effect of fast rehabilitation nursing pathway in patients after artificial hip replacement.[Methods] 86 patients underwent artificial hip replacement were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group with 43 cases in each group.The control group received routine care,while the experimental group was given fast rehabilitation nursing pathway.Anxiety and pain at 48h after operation were evaluated,and hip joint function(Harris score)was evaluated six months after operation.[Results] Compared with the control group,anxiety and pain score at 48h after operation decreased markedly,and Harris score six months after operation increased significantly.[Conclusions] Fast rehabilitation nursing pathway can reduce both the short-term and long-term efficacy of patients after artificial hip replacement.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, the key point of diagnosis and treatment methods of X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIGM).Methods:The clinical characteristics and laboratory data of a patient aged 23 years who was diagnosed as XHIGM complicated with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (TLGLL) in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital in March 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, and the literatures were reviewed.Results:This male patient presented with recurrent infection when he was 17 years old, and was found neutropenia, anemia accompanied by obvious splenomegaly, lower level of IgG and IgA after the visit. The level of IgM was lower than the normal level and the typical XHIGM was manifested with the normal or increased level of IgM, however CD40L homozygous mutation (chromosome: chrX; location: 135730438; variation of amino acid: NM_000074:exon1:c.31C>T:p.R11X; nonsense mutation) was confirmed by next generation sequencing. CD40L heterozygous mutation was detected in his mother, but it was not in his father. The patient was diagnosed as XHIGM. Anemia and neutropenia were alleviated after splenectomy in the patient, who was diagnosed as T-cell large granular lymphocyte elevation and clonal proliferation by flow cytometry, TCR gene rearrangement positive and bone marrow histopathological immunohistochemistry results because of the increasing leukocyte. The patient was eventually diagnosed as XHIGM complicated with T-LGLL.Conclusions:A small number of patients with XHIGM may develop symptoms in adulthood and may present with atypical clinical features of significant reduction in IgG, IgA, and IgM. The confirmed diagnosis of XHIGM is established by identification of CD40L gene mutation. XHIGM gene screening is required in male patients with recurrent infection, IgG level lower than normal and neutropenia. A few XHIGM patients are complicated with T-LGLL.
