Objective To investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic surgery on gynecologic malignancies,providing information for the clinical therapy.Methods 35 patients with gynecologic malignancies treated with laparoscopic surgery were selected as the observation group.While 35 cases of abdominal surgery patients were selected as control group at the same period.The incidence of postoperative complications,survival rate and other conditions of the two groups were observed and compared.Results The operation time of laparoscopic surgery group was longer than open surgery group,no significant difference between the two groups(P > 0.05 ).Blood loss,hospital slay and recovery time of body temperature of the laparoscopic surgery group was significantly lower than open surgery group ( P <0,05).2 cases had urinary retention,1 urinary tract infection and 1 deep vein thrombosis occured in observation group; while 3 urinary retention cases,1 intestinal obstruction case,1 deep vein thrombosis case,1 abdominal wound infection case occured in control group,and the difference was significant ( P < 0.05 ).2 patients lost in each group.3-year survival rate of laparoscopic surgery group was similar with open surgery,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant( P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Excision and pelvic lymph node dissection under laparoscopy is an effective method in treatment of gynecologic cancer,and with less trauma and faster recovery.

Objecfive To investigate multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)appearances of pulmonary infections after liver transplantation(LT)and the diagnostic values of MSCT.Methods The clinical data and CT images of liver transplantation receptors were reviewed from 200 1 August to 2007 June,the types,onset time and CT appearances of pulmonary infections were analyzed retrospectively.Chi square test was used for the statistics.Results The incidence rate of pulmonary infections after LT was 32.9/(174/529),the mortality was 9.8/(1 7/174),The incidence of bacterial infection,fungus or associated fungus infection,and virus or associated virus infection were 17.2/(n=91),14.7/(n=78)and 2.3/(n=12)respectively,the pulmonary infections were seen in 64.7/,28.7/and 6.6/of patients 1 to 30 days,31-90 days and after 90 days following LT.Consolidations(n=32),ground-glass opacities(n=22),nodules(n=10),reticular or lineal opacities(n=4)were found in 45 patients who had CT examination,there were no statistic differences in incidence rate between bacterial infection and mycotic infection(P>0.05).Conclusion Pulmonary bacterial and fungus infection are common after LT.and often present as the mixed infection,the high risk period for infection is within 30 days after LT,thoracic CT stall is very important for characterizing the pulmonary infections after LT.

Objective To compare the thin-section CT findings of pulmonary candidiasis,aspergillosis and eryptococcosis wim histopathology in immunoeomprimised rabbits and impmve the diagnostic accuracy of fungus infection. Methods Heathy New Zealand white rabbits were used for immunoeompromised animal models.Thin-section CT scan was performed before and 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 d after inoculation.The pattern and distribution of the pulmonary abnormalities were retrospectively assessed by two thomeic radiologists and compared with histopathology.The granulocyte count was compared before and after administration of immunosuppressive agents.The pmred t test,chi square test and the Fisher's exact test were used for the statistics.Results Fourteen rabbits had candidiasis.16 rabbits had cryptocoecosis,15 rabbits had aspergillosis.The granulocyte counts before and after administration of immunosuppressive agents were(2.91±0.92)and(0.35±0.19)×109/L respectively in eandidiasis group,there was a significant difference(t=12.484,P<0.05);(2.51±0.82)and(0.76±0.71)×109/L in aspergillosis group,there was a significant difference(t=5.792,P<0.05);(2.10±0.65)and (0.48±0.22)×109/L in cryptococcosis group,there was a significant difference(t=8.199,P<0.05).The onaet time of infections on CT were not significantly different in three groups (P>0.05).Ground glass opacity (GGO) and consolidation were the two most colnlnon findings in immunocompromised rabbits with three fungus infections,areas of GGO was correlated with the congestion,hemorrhage,inflammatory cell infiltration and interstitial hyperplasia in pathology. Consolidation was correlated with the severe congestion,hemorrhage, inflammatory cell infiltration, interstitial hyperplasia, necrosis and vascular embolism in pathology. Conclusion GGO and consolidation are the two most common findings of fungus infections in immunocompromised animal models and thin-section CT findings can reflect the pathological changes.

Objective:To evaluate the optical performance of two aspheric intraocular lenses (IOL) AcrySof IQ SN60WF and Proming A1-UV with identical negative spherical aberration values, using the optical bench OptiSpheric IOL R&D through an in vitro study. Methods:The optical performance of + 20.0 D blue-light filtering SN60WF and monofocal high-order aspheric non blue-light filtering A1-UV IOL was evaluated through cornea models with the spherical aberration of 0 μm (ISO-1) and + 0.28 μm (ISO-2) under apertures of 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm via the optical bench OptiSpheric IOL R&D.The modulation transfer function (MTF) and USAF 1951 resolution test chart were employed to measure the IOL with centering, decentration of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.1 mm, as well as tilt of 3°, 5°, 7°, 9° and 11°.The spectral transmittance of IOL was measured with the UV-3300 UV-VIS spectrophotometer.Results:Compared with the A1-UV IOL, the spectral transmittance of SN60WF for blue light with wavelengths of 400-500 nm was significantly reduced, which effectively reduced the passage of blue light.At an aperture of 3.0 mm, the MTF values at 100 lp/mm spatial frequency for the centered SN60WF and A1-UV were 0.576 and 0.598 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, 0.564 and 0.563 under ISO-2 conditions.At an aperture of 4.5 mm, the MTF values were 0.238 and 0.404 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, and 0.438 and 0.339 under ISO-2 conditions.The MTF values of A1-UV and SN60WF at 3.0 mm aperture and 100 lp/mm spatial frequency under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions were larger than those under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions.Under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions with a 3.0 mm aperture, A1-UV had a better optical quality compared to SN60WF, whereas under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions, the optical quality of both IOLs was similar.Under the 3.0 mm aperture, the MTF values of SN60WF and A1-UV at a decentration of 0.3 mm and 100 lp/mm spatial frequency were 0.414 and 0.571 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, 0.438 and 0.512 under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions, respectively.The MTF values of SN60WF and A1-UV at a tilt of 3° were 0.522 and 0.597 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, and 0.532 and 0.531 under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions.The MTF values and USAF resolution test chart of A1-UV had no significant change between the two corneal measurement conditions.When subjected to equal degrees of decentration or tilting, except for the ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions at a 4.5 mm aperture, the MTF values of A1-UV showed a gradual decline across various spatial frequencies compared to SN60WF.With the increase in aperture size, the impact of IOL decentration or tilting on MTF values and USAF 1951 resolution test chart became more notable for A1-UV relative to SN60WF.Conclusions:The SN60WF IOL effectively filters blue light within the wavelength range of 400-500 nm.However, when both IOL experience decentration greater than 0.3 mm or tilting beyond 3°, the optical quality of the IOL will decline.A1-UV has a distinct advantage over SN60WF in terms of resistance to both decentration and tilting-induced optical performance degradation in vitro.
