One hundred patients were diagnosed with coronary heart disease through dual-source CT coronary angiography (DSCTA) in our hospital,including 53 cases aged ≥60 y (elderly group) and 47 cases ＜60 y (middle-aged group).The curved-planar reconstruction (CPR),maximal intensity projection (MIP) and other post-processing reconstruction techniques were used to evaluate the indicators and differences of coronary stenosis ≥ 50％ ; the X-ray coronary angiography (CAG) findings were regarded as the gold standard.The evaluable rates of coronary arteries through DSCTA were 97.0％ and 98.6％ for two groups (P ＞0.05).The positive rate of coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50％ in elderly group was higher than that of middle-age group ( 12.6％ vs 9.0％ P ＜0.05 ).The rates of multi-vessel disease in elderly group (28.3％ ) was also significantly higher than that of middle-age group (6.4％,P ＜0.05 ).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value in evaluation of coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50％ for elderly patients were 92.3％,98.0％,88.0％ and 98.9％ respectively; those for middle-aged patients were 96.0％,99.0％,90.6％ and 99.6％ respectively ( P ＞0.05 ).DSCTA imaging provides an effective screening and evaluation method for coronary heart disease in elderly and middle-aged patients.

Objective:To consolidate ten years of clinical experience on the application of breast fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS) in breast intra-ductal lesion. Methods:The clinical data of 1 368 cases of patients with nipple discharge were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results:Significant differences were observed in the FDS diagnoses of patients with nipple discharge. The rates of tumor de-tection by FDS diagnosis were significantly higher when bloody and serous nipple discharge was used rather than milky and watery nip-ple discharge. For non-tumor nipple discharge, local drug perfusion via FDS was an effective treatment. A total of 303 patients had tu-mor resection or segmentectomy under localization via FDS, and 44 had segmentectomy after breast duct infusion of methylene blue. The diagnostic rate of localization via FDS (97.0%) was higher than that of breast duct infusion of methylene blue (86.4%). Conclu-sion:FDS is an accurate method for diagnosing patients with nipple discharge. In addition, it is also a good local drug perfusion method for patients with breast inflammatory nipple discharge ductoscopy. For patients with tumorous nipple discharge, localization via FDS can help improve the detection of the lesions, which can be removed by surgery.

Objective: To optimize the pretreatment method of N-nitrosamine compounds in ready-to-eat aquatic products. Methods: Market-sold ready-to-eat aquatic products were collected, homogenized and distilled by steam. The samples were extracted for 10 minutes using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) with ethanol, trichloromethane and sodium chloride (3.0 g). After centrifugation, the organic phase in the lower layer was collected and subjected to gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The six common N-nitrosamine compounds were determined in ready-to-eat aquatic products using multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) and quantified by the internal standard method. Results: The optimized method exhibited a good linear relationship at concentrations of 10.0 to 500 μg/L for determination of 6 N-nitrosamine compounds (correlation coefficient of greater than 0.999), with 0.05 to 0.60 μg/kg limit of detection, 0.15 to 1.60 μg/kg limit of quantitation, mean spiked recovery rates of 71.8% to 108.9%, and relative standard deviations of 1.4% to 8.6%. N-Nitrosodimethylamine showed the highest detection rate in 20 market-sold ready-to-eat aquatic products (90%), and the detection rates of N-Nitrosopyrrolidine, N-Nitrosodiethylamine and N-dibutylnitrosamine were 15%, 10% and 10%, respectively. Conclusion Steam distillation combined with DLLME may optimize the pretreatment method of N-nitrosamine compounds in ready-to-eat aquatic products and meet the measurement requirements.
