Objective To compare the CT features and pathology of pulmonary solitary fibrous tumor (SFT),to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods CT images and corresponding pathological results of 14 cases with pulmonary SFT were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 14 cases,6 were in the right lung and other 8 were in the left.The maximum diameters of tumors were ranged from 2.5 cm to 20.0 cm,and 6 cases were over 10.0 cm.All 14 cases represented as irregular solid nodule or mass,4 as unclear boundary and 1 as lobulation.Most of the cases showed heterogeneous and progressive enhancement.The light microscopy showed that tumor tissues were mainly composed of collagen fibers and spindle cells with different proliferation degrees,and 3 cases showed atypia cells.There were abundant blood vessels in the intercellular substance.Immunohistochemistry were done in 13 cases,presenting Bcl-2,CD99 and Vimentin positive expressions in all cases and CD34 expression in 9.Conclusion The CT features of pulmonary SFT are related to pathological features.CT scan is important in the localization and qualitative diagnosis of pulmonary SFT,and obvious inhomogeneous map-like and progressive enhancement should be considered for the diagnosis of SFT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the rapid and accurate method for the detection of dengue virus (DENV) by using nicking enzyme assisted strand-displacement amplification (SDA) combined with gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow strip. METHODS: Total RNA of the virus was extracted by using magnetic beads method and transcribed to cDNA for SDA detection system. Nicking enzyme-assisted method was used for detecting DENV, and agarose gel electrophoresis was used for analyzing the sensitivity of SDA amplification products. A gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow strip was developed based on the principle of nucleic acid base complementary pairing to design the test line and control line. The gold particles were prepared by using sodium citrate reduction method for gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow strip construction. RESULTS: The sensitivity of the SDA method was 10 fmol/L, and the sensitivity of gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow strip based on SDA method was also 10 fmol/L. In a linear range from 10 fmol/L to 10 fmol/L, the corresponding linear correlation coefficient () of DENV was 0.98. The specificity of nanoparticles-based lateral flow strip based on SDA for DENV detection was high, which was no crossing with other control groups. CONCLUSIONS A gold nanoparticles-based lateral flow strip based on SDA method for DENV detection has been established, which is convenient, fast, and the result is visible to naked eyes.

Traumatic rib fractures are the most common injury in thoracic trauma. Previously，the patients with traumatic rib fractures were mostly treated non-surgically，of which 50%，especially those combined with flail chest presented chronic pain or chest wall deformities and over 30% had long-term disabilities，being unable to retain a full-time job. In the past two decades，thanks to the development of internal fixation material technology，the surgical treatment of rib fractures has achieved good outcomes. However，there are still some problems in clinical treatment，including inconsistency in surgical treatment and quality control in medical services. The current consensuses on the management of regional traumatic rib fractures published at home and abroad mainly focus on the guidance of the overall treatment decisions and plans，and relevant clinical guidelines abroad lacks progress in surgical treatment of rib fractures in recent years. Therefore，the Chinese Society of Traumatology affiliated to Chinese Medical Association and Chinese College of Trauma Surgeons affiliated to Chinese Medical Doctor Association，in conjunction with national multidisciplinary experts，formulate the Chinese Consensus for Surgical Treatment of Traumatic Rib Fractures（2021）following the principle of evidence-based medicine，scientific nature and practicality. This expert consensus puts forward some clear，applicable，and graded recommendations from aspects of preoperative imaging evaluation，surgical indications，timing of surgery，surgical methods，rib fracture sites for surgical fixation，internal fixation methods and material selections，treatment of combined injuries in rib fractures，in order to provide references for surgical treatment of traumatic rib fractures.
