Objective To analyze imageology appearance and clinical characteristics of the cystic and solid breast carcinoma.Methods Features of MRI and B-type ultrasonic inspection of 26 patients with the cystic and solid breast carcinoma pathologically confirmed (15 patients with mucinous carcinoma,6 patients with intracystic papillary carcinoma,5 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the breast) were retrospectively reviewed.Results In terms of clinical appearance,the incidence of the squamous cell breast carcinoma with an average age of 70.1 years old was larger than in youth,while mucinous carcinoma with an average age of 67.7 years old and intracystic carcinoma of breast with an average age of 55.1 years old were contrary.The squamous cell breast carcinoma developed more quickly than mucinous carcinoma and intracystic carcinoma of breast.The squamous cell breast carcinoma often occurred around mammilla (4/5),while the mucinous carcinoma and intracystic papillary carcinoma often occurred upper outer quadrant of breast,which was similar with other breast cancer.The average size of 49.6 mm in the squamous cell breast carcinoma was largest than the average size of 25.1 mm in mucinous carcinoma and the average size of 35.2 mm in intracystic papillary carcinoma.The malignant degree of squamous cell breast carcinoma was higher than mucinous carcinoma and intracystic papillary carcinoma,which intended to occur lymph node metastasis and skin infiltration.The diagnosis probability of mucinous carcinoma was smaller than intracystic papillary carcinoma through preoperative puncture,while squamous cell breast carcinoma was larger.On the MRI imageology appearance,both types of breast cancer had the same shape of rotundity or lobulated.The tumors were low signal on T1WI and partially high signal on T2WI,which were circular enhancement after enhancement.However,the edge of mucinous carcinoma and squamous cell breast carcinoma was rougher than intracystic papillary carcinoma compared with squamous cell breast carcinoma.The bursa wall of mucinous carcinoma was more uniformity,while papillary soft tissue image can be found in intracystic papillary carcinoma,which was enhanced significantly after enhancement.In terms of ultrasonic sound (US),there were low echo signal and high echo signal on the back of tumor compared with other breast tumor.There were shadow beside mucinous carcinoma.Squamous cell breast carcinoma was rich in blood supply,while mucinous carcinoma and intracystic papillary carcinoma were opposite.Conclusion Histological type of cystic and solid breast carcinoma is complex,but the appearances of MRI and US have some characteristics.Histological type and the range of disease could be guessed through the combination of preoperative puncture and clinical appearance,which plays an important role in operation mode and treatment guidance.

Objective To explore the experimental conditions of labeling rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (Rb-MSCs) with 5,6-carboxyfluorescein diacetic succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and to investigate the impact on the biological characteristics of Rb-MSCs in vitro.Methods Rb-MSCs were separated and purified by whole bone marrow adherent culture and then were identified by morphology and surface markers.Rb-MSCs were labeled with CFSE and the labeling effect was measured by flow cytometer.The proliferation capacity of labeled cells was detected with CCK-8.The differentiation capacity of labeled cells was investigated by being induced to osteoblasts and lipoblasts.The capacity of labeled cells to secret vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected by VEGF ELISA kits.Results The primary Rb-MSCs adhered in 48 h,being fusiform and colony-like growth.Subculture cells became fibroblast-like cells in order with uniform configuration.Most (above 98%) cultured cells expressed the surface markers CD29 and CD44 except for CD45.Compared with other labeling conditions,10μmol/L final concentration of CFSE and 10 min was the best one with a 100% labeling rate and high fluorescence intensity.Compared with unlabeled cells,the ability of the labeled cells to proliferate and to secrete VEGF was not significantly decreased (P > 0.05).Moreover,the labeled cells had osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity.Conclusions It was a simple and efficient method to label Rb-MSCs with CFSE,especially in a short-term.The capacity of cell proliferation,differentiation,and secretion were not affected.

Fetal cystic lymphangioma is a developmental anomaly of the lymphatic system, which can occur in any part of the body, but most commonly in the neck and armpit. A case of fetal cystic lymphangioma located at the chest wall under the right armpit with a size of 21 mm×18 mm×16 mm is reported here. The mass was initially diagnosed by routine ultrasound examination at 21 gestational weeks. After the diagnosis, ultrasound was repeated every 4 weeks till 37 +4 gestational weeks. Over this period, the mass increased progressively to 101 mm×110 mm×95 mm. Ultrasound-guided intrauterine fetal cystic mass puncture and aspiration was performed 38 +4 weekss, and Bleomycin was injected into the cyst after operation and on day 42 after birth. During a follow-up to 10 months after birth, no obvious cystic mass was found at the right axillary chest wall of the child.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of Kwak and ACR( 2017 ) thyroid imaging reporting and data systems ( T I‐RADS ) for thyroid nodules . Methods Cases of thyroid nodule who underwent surgery from January 2015 to M arch 2018 in 15 hospitals in Sichuan province were collected and the ultrasonographic features of thyroid nodules were retrospectively analyzed by trained senior ultrasound physicians using Kwak and ACR T I‐RADS classification methods . Totally ,12 712 thyroid nodules were observed ,7 023 thyroid nodules in 7 023 cases with complete ultrasound and surgical and pathological data were eventually enrolled in the study . T hyroid nodules with solid ,hypoechoic or very hypoechoic ,tall/wide ratio ≥ 1 , margin ill‐defined and microcalcification were classified as malignant signs of ultrasound . M alignant percentage was calculated and diagnostic tests were performed .
