Objective To summarize the imaging characteristics and clinical diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) examination in colon cancer combined with obstruction.Methods The clinical data of 33 patients with colon cancer combined with obstruction who were admitted to the Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital from June 2012 to March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received abdomianl plain scan and dualphase enhanced scan of CT,and the imaging data were summarized.Results Of 33 patients with colon cancer combined with obstruction,obstruction was located at the ascending colon in 9 patients,hepatic flexure of the colon in 2 patients,colon transverse in 7 patients,splenic flexure of the colon in 3 patients,descending colon in 3 patients,sigmoid colon in 7 patients and proctosigmoid in 2 patients.Thirty-three patients had irregular and thickened colonic wall at the obstructive segment and irregular constriction of colonic lumen,with a mean coloric wall thickness of 1.9 cm (range,0.6-3.2 cm).The length of constriction was 2.0-3.0 cm in 3 patients,3.1-4.0 cm in 3 patients,4.1-5.0 cm in 11 patients,5.1-8.0 cm in 12 patients and more than 8.0 cm in 4 patients.The mean length,diameter and mean diameter of the constriction of 33 patients were 5.8 cm,0-0.5 cm and 0.2 cm.The performance at the junction of the normal wall and the stenosis was scuff syndrome in 7 patients and shoulder symptoms in 5 patients.Colonic dilatation above the obstructive segment was detected in 26 patients with multiple gas-fluid levels and in 7 patients with mainly gas.Twenty-nine patients had colonic dilatation at the proximal end of obstruction with the diameter of right colonic dilatation of 6.0 cm,diameter of left colonic dilatation of 4.0 cm and colonic collapse at the distal end of obstruction.Thirty-three patients had different grades of cecal dilatation with a mean diameter of 6.9 cm.Three patients had ischemic colitis including 1 patient with colonic perforation and free underarm gas.The serosal invasion or organ involvement of colon cancer was detected in 25 patients with unclear boundary and cable-strip or nodular opacities.Fourteen patients had lymph node metastases,with surrounding tumor or retroperitoneal heterogeneous enhancement,sacvariable necrosis area,short-tempered edge of lymph node,bar-type exudation surrounding some of lymph node.There was 3 patients with hepatic metastases and 1 with pulmonary metastasis.Conclusion Irregular and thickened colonic wall,irregular constriction of colonic lumen,scuff syndrome and shoulder symptoms at the junction of the normal wall,colonic dilatation above the obstructive segment and multiple gas-fluid levels are mainly characterics of CT examination for colon cancer combined with obstruction.

In order to investigate the clinical value of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of colonic neoplasms,the clinical data of 57 patients who were confirmed as with colonic neoplasms were admitted to the Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital from June 2013 to June 2014.Patients received plain and enhanced scan of MSCT,multiplannar reconstruction (MPR),sliding thin-slab maximum intensity projection (STS-MIP) and curved planar reformation (CPR),and the results of these examinations were compared with the postoperative TNM stage.Of the 57 patients,tumors located at the cecum in 1 patient,ascending colon in 23 patients,hepatic region of the colon in 9 patients,transverse colon in 11 patients,splenic region of the colon in 1 patient,descending colon in 3 patients and sigmoid colon in 9 patients.The results of the CT examination were in accordance with the results of exploratory laparotomy.The wall of the intestine was irregular ring-like thickened in 57 patients.The thickening of the intestine ranged between 0.6-3.2 cm,and patients had intestinal stricture in different degrees.Sixteen patients had gas-fluid level and dilatation of the intestine and were presented with intestinal obstruction signs.Forty-two patients had nodular or mass shadow in sofi tissues,and the nodules or mass protruded into the intestinal cavity or outside of the intestinal cavity,and resulting in intestinal stricture.The junction of the mass and the adjacent intestinal wall was blurred or clear,and the thickness of the intestinal walls was normal.Carcinomatous ulcer was observed in 20 patients.The shape of the ulcer was crateriform.The serosa and (or) adjacent organs were invaded by the tumors in 47 patients.Twenty-seven patients had lymph node metastasis,including 6 had distal metastasis,4 had hepatic metastasis and 2 had pulmonary metastasis.The sensitivity and accuracy of the preoperative CT examination for T stage were 100.0％ (57/57) and 77.2％ (44/57),respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the CT examination for N stage were 67.9％ (19/28),72.4％ (21/29) and 70.2％ (40/57),respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the CT examination for M stage were 100.0％ (6/6),100.0％ (51/51) and 100.0％ (57/57),respectively.The results of CT examination for TNM stage were well correlated with the pathological examination for TNM stage (κ =0.592,0.514,1.000,P ＜0.05).MSCT scanning and post-processing technique are of important clinical value in depicting tumor location,size and morphology,delineating tumor extension,revealing lymph nodes and metastases,and confirming preoperative tumor TNM stage in patients with colonic neoplasms.

Objective Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a key in the management of cancer patients' clinic syptoms.This article investigated the status quo of nurses' knowledge and attitude towards CFR.Methods THe method of cross-sectional survey and questionnaire was used to investigate the knowledge and attitude towards CRF among nurses from related departments of three Grade III hospitals in Nanjing.Results 142 nurses answered the questionnaire.The average correct rate was 76.25%, among which nurses from the oncology department had better congition rate than nurses from other medical and surgical departments (84.3%, 75.98%, 79.57%) , representing significant difference (P<0.05).64.79% of the nurses found the relatives of cancer patients and nurses often fail to understand cancer patients;complaint of fatigue, 76.76% of nurses assumed there is lack of communication in fatigue between patients and medical staff.94.36% of nurses agreed medical institutions should strengthen the management of CRF.Conclusion At present, the clinical nurses have inadequate knowledge about CRF, which should be enhanced in future work.

Objective To carry out the current status of internal quality control by statistical analysis of the Internal Quality Control (IQC)data of homocysteine in 2014 March.Methods Web-based External Quality Assessment (EQA)system was used to collect IQC data of homocysteine from 292 EQA participant laboratories nationwide.The data include thecoefficient of variation (CV)of IQC data under control in March 2014 and long-term cumulative data.Acceptable rates of CVs of two-lot internal quality controls in homocysteine were calculated according to 5 criteria,that were 1/3TEa,1/4TEa and the speci-fications based on biological variation including the minimal,appropriate and optimal allowable imprecision.The instrument the participant laboratories used were sorted into 6 groups and the passing rate of each group were calculated by the 5 crite-ria.Results 292 laboratories reported the data of level 1 IQC for homocysteine,106 of which reported the data of level 2 IQC.The passing rate was different according to different criteria.The passing rate had few difference by the criteria of 1/3TEa and the minimal allowable imprecision based on biological variation,which were from 63.36% to 76.42%.It was also true for 1/4TEa and the appropriate allowable imprecision based on biological variation,which were from 34.25% to 57.55. The passing rate was only 10.62%~16.98% by the criteria of appropriate allowable imprecision based on biological varia-tion.Statistical results showed that instruments the participant mainly used were HITACHI (77/292),Olympus (61/292), Roche (19/292),Beckman (14/292),Abbott (10/292)and Simens (10/292).The passing rates of all the instrument group had few difference except Simens group.Conclusion Most of the laboratories could meet the criteria of 1/3TEa and the min-imal allowable imprecision based on biological variation.But less than half of the laboratories could meet the criteria of 1/4TEa and the appropriate and optimal allowable imprecision based on biological variation.The precision performance of ho-mocysteine among laboratories needs further improvement.

Objective To understand the underlying mechanism of mites-induced pediatric asthma by bioinformatic analysis on speciifc microRNA (miRNA) array and target gene screening. Methods This is a case control study of 62 pairs of dust mites-induced asthma children with age and gender matched healthy controls. Twelve pairs were randomly selected for miRNA array. The abnormal expression of miRNAs was compared between asthma and control children. The results were validated by RT-qPCR and bioinformatic analysis in remaining pairs of children. Results Six miRNAs (miRNA-151a-5p, 625-5p, 126-3p, 513a-5p, 27b-3p, 22-3p) were signiifcantly down-regulated more than two folds in dust mites-induced asthma children than those in controls. The enriched bioinformatics analysis showed that these miRNAs and their target genes CBL, PPARGC1B, ESR1, ONECUT2, EGFR, SYK, and STAT1 were related to inlfammatory cytokine signaling pathway. Conclusion It is suggested that miR-22-3p, 513a-5p, 625-5p, 27b-3p, and miRNA-target genes form a network through co-regulation to target genes to participate dust mites-induced asthma in children.
