Objective To explore the effect of surgical treatment of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). Methods Data were collected from 94 patients with BAC (including 67 cases with pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, 16 cases with BAC by local infiltration and 11 cases with adenocarcinoma having BAC character). All patients were proved pathologically bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from January 1989 to December 2003. Clinical features, characteristics of radiology, methods of treatment and survival status were studied retrospectively. Surgical treatment and efficacy approaches according to different TNM stages and clinical patterns were also analyzed. Results Ninety-eight patients underwent complete resection and 4 underwent palliative operation and 2 underwent exploratory thoractomy. The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates were 75.5 %, 53.2 %, 41.5 %. According to international staging system of lung cancer, there were marked difference in stage Ⅰ group, stage Ⅱ group and stage Ⅲ group (P <0.01). According to pathological classification, there were marked difference in pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, BAC with local infiltration and adenocarcinoma having BAC character (P <0.01). Conclusion Bronchioalveoar carcinoma is a special form of lung cancer. It has its own characteristics on biology,radiology,clinic or pathology. Lobectomy is performed commonly in patients with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. It may be concluded that the early diagnosis, early therapy are the key points for improving the survival rate of BAC.

Objective To observe the effects of moderate intensity exercise training combined with Xianlinggubao capsule on bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism and femoral biomechanics of ovariectomized rats, so as to provide lab references for osteoporosis prevention. Methods Fifty female SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, 10 rats in each group. Group A was the normal control; Group B was given 1 mL normal saline by gavage after ovariectomy for one week; Group C was given moderate intensity exercise training (exercise speed was 20 m/min, lasting for 60 min per day, continuous 5 days per week); Group D was given 1 mL Xianlinggubao capsule ［0.4 g/(kg · d)］ after 1-week ovariectomy; Group E was was given both 1 mL Xianlinggubao capsule and moderate intensity exercise training after 1-week ovariectomy. After 8 weeks of continuous treatment, blood biochemical indexes, BMD, micro CT and biomechanics of the femur and L5 vertebral body were detected. Results Compared with group B, the blood biochemical indexes of Group C-E were improved in varying degrees, the BMD of L5 vertebral body and femur were increased, the bone volume fraction, trabecular number and trabecular thickness of femur (or L5 vertebral body) were increased, the trabecular space and structural model index were decreased, the maximum load, maximum deflection and maximum stress of L5 vertebral body were increased, and the maximum stress of femur was increased. The maximum load, elastic load, elastic deflection, elastic modulus, elastic stress, maximum stress and elastic deflection increased, and the effect of Group E was the most obvious. Conclusions Moderate intensity exercise training combined with Xianlinggubao capsule can improve BMD, bone metabolism and bone microstructure, and improve bone mechanical properties of ovariectomized rats.

Objective:To compare the value of 3 methods (threshold method, visual method and CT method) based on 18F-FDG PET-CT for qualitative diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). Methods:The clinical characteristics, pathological results, CT signs and maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) of 226 SPN patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET-CT and met lung imaging reporting and data system (Lung-RADS1.1) grading criteria grade 2-4 in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the diagnostic efficacy of threshold method (according to SUV max), visual method [according to the degree of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the mediastinum or liver blood pool] and CT method (according to Lung-RADS1.1 grading criteria) for SPN were compared by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The highest diagnostic accuracy of CT method and the highest diagnostic accuracy of threshold method and visual method were combined as PET-CT comprehensive diagnosis method, and the diagnostic efficiency of which was compared with the other methods. Results:Among the 226 patients with SPN, 174 cases were malignant and 52 cases were benign in pathology. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of CT method 2 (defined Lung-RADS1.1 grade 4A and below as benign, grade 4B and above as malignant) in CT methods for qualitative diagnosis of SPN was 0.622, the sensitivity was 87.93%, and the accuracy was 76.11%, the diagnostic efficiency was higher than method 2. The AUC of the threshold method 1 (defined solid nodules that SUV max≥2.5 and ground-glass nodules that SUV max≥1.14 as malignant, the others as benign) in threshold methods for qualitative diagnosis of SPN was 0.675, the sensitivity was 85.06%, and the accuracy was 76.99%, the diagnostic efficiency was higher than other methods in the threshold methods and visual methods. The AUC of PET-CT comprehensive diagnosis method (combination of CT method 2 and threshold method 1) for qualitative diagnosis of SPN was 0.652, the sensitivity was 97.70%, and the accuracy was 82.74%, the diagnostic efficiency was higher than other methods. Conclusions:There is no significant difference among threshold method, visual method and CT method based on 18F-FDG PET-CT in qualitative diagnosis of SPN. The diagnostic efficiency of combining CT method with threshold method is significantly improved.
