Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(9):1361-1364
Objective: To explore the value of serosa high enhancement sign in differentiating T3 and T4a gastric cancer. Methods: Abdominal three-phase enhanced CT images of 104 patients with stage T3 or T4a gastric cancer confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively. The occurrence rate of serosa high enhancement sign in each stage was observed and compared. Using serosa high enhancement sign as the criterion for diagnosis of T4a stage gastric cancer,its accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated. Results: Among 104 patients, 34 were found with T3 stage and 70 were T4a stage gastric cancer. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of serosa high enhancement sign in diagnosis of stage T4a gastric cancer was 77.88% (81/104), 81.43% (57/70), 70.59% (24/34), 85.07% (57/67) and 64.86% (24/37), respectively. The occurrence rate of serosa high enhancement sign in arterial phase, venous phase and delayed phase of T4a gastric cancer was 32.86% (23/70), 75.71% (53/70) and 62.86% (44/70), respectively. There was significant difference of occurrence rates between arterial phase and venous phase (P<0.001), also between arterial phase and delayed phase (P=0.001), but no significant difference was found between venous phase and delayed phase CT images (P=0.143). Conclusion: Serosa high enhancement sign on enhance CT has relatively high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of T4a gastric cancer, which can be used to judge the serosa invasion of gastric cancer. It is recommended to observe this sign in venous or delayed phase.

Objective To evaluate the difference in coronary microcirculation and short term prognosis in patients with different collateral circulation and underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) with complete occlusion of coronary artery. Methods The study included 42 patients who had been admitted in our hospital for NSTEMI or STEMI between 01/2012 to 12/2015 without receiving revascularization treatment and whose symptoms persisted for over 6 months. According to the results of coronary angiography and the Rentrop grade, the patients were divided into 2 groups: poor collateral circulation formation group (group A, Rentrop=0 -1, n=17) and well established collateral circulation group (group B, Rentrop=2-3, n=25). The basic clinical data and the result of coronary angiography were compared. A pressure-temperature sensor wire was used to measure index of mierocirculatory resistance ( IMR) immediately after PCI. An echocardiograph was used to measure left ventricular end systolic diameter ( LVEDd) and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) postoperatively and again at 3 months after operation to evaluate the changes in cardiac function. Results The IMR value of group A was significantly higher than group B (P﹤0. 05), the grade of collateral circulation had negative correlation with IMR value (r=-0. 671, P﹤0. 05). The mean changes in LVEDd in 3 months in group B was -0. 28 mm, while in group A was 5. 76 mm (P﹤0. 05). The mean changes in LVEF in 3 mouths in group B was 5. 36% and in group A was -3. 82% (P﹤0. 05). The grading of coronary collateral circulation had negative correlation with the changes of LVEDd in 3 months (r= -0. 669, P﹤0. 05), but had positive correlation with the changes of LVEF (r=0. 657, P ﹤0. 05). The IMR value had positive correlation with the changes of LVEDd in 3 months (r=0. 686, P﹤0. 05), but had negative correlation with the changes of the LVEF (r= -0. 664, P﹤ 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Patients with poor collateral circulation was more prone to coronary microcirculatory injury than patients with good collateral circulation. Patients with good collateral circulation and microcirculation had better prognosis after the revascularization of the infarction-related vessel.

PURPOSE: As midwives witness and attend the whole process of childbirth, they have a better understanding of which factors may cause traumatic childbirth. However, because most of the studies paid their attention on mothers, little is known about psychological birth trauma from the perspective of midwives. This study aims to gain a full understanding of which factors may contribute to psychological traumatic childbirth from the perspective of midwives.METHODS: A qualitative research was conducted using in-depth interviews, which involved fourteen midwives from the maternal ward of a tertiary hospital. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and then, Colaizzi's method was used to analyze the contents of the interviews.RESULTS: We proposed four themes and eight subthemes on the influencing factors of psychological traumatic childbirth from the perspective of midwives: low perceived social support (lack of support from family and lack of support from medical staff), hard times (protracted labor in the first stage and futile efforts during the second stage), poor birth outcomes (poor birth outcomes of the mother and poor birth outcomes of the baby), and excruciating pain (unbearable pain of uterine contraction and labor pain was incongruent with the mother's expectations).CONCLUSION: Medical staff should pay attention to psychological traumatic childbirth and its effects, and emphasis on the screening and assessment of birthing women with negative feelings so that their psychological traumatic childbirth can be prevented and decreased.

Objective:Explore the establishment of a fast, stable and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for detecting the level of m6A modification in RNA and its application.Methods:The degree of m6A in RNA can be expressed as the ratio of m6A and adenosine (A) in concentration, which can be determined by ESI source positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The established method was verified by analyzing three quality control samples (m6A: 4, 40, 400 nmol/L; A: 40, 400, 4 000 nmol/L) with three different concentrations of low, medium, and high. The method was used to detect the degree of m6A in RNA from mouse spleen T cells treated in different ways. The t test was used to compare the differences between the two groups of data. Results:The established method had a good Linearity ( R2>0.99) in a range of 1-500 nmol/L for m6A and 10-5 000 nmol/L for A. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1 nmol/L for m6A and 10 nmol/L for A. The recoveries were between 98.9% and 116.5%. The intra-day ( n=5) RSDs and the inter-day ( n=15, 5 days) RSDs were 2.4%-9.5% and 4.4%-9.6%, respectively. And this method was used to detect the degree of m6A in the RNA from mouse spleen T cells cultured in different conditions. The results showed that the m6A modification level in the RNA of primary CD8 +T cell was 0.271 5±0.017 9, and the m6A modification level in the RNA of primary CD8 +T cell with IL-27 was 0.251 7±0.015 0, indicating that primary CD8 +T cells have a higher level of RNA methylation. Conclusion:This research has established a fast, simplemethylation degree in RNA with HPLC-MS/MS. This method is easy to be popularized and is suitable for the detection of large quantity of samples, and of great significance in analyzing the relationship between methylation and diseases.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different processing methods in ancient and modern times on the chemical components of Lilii Bulbus decoction, and to provide experimental support for the origin processing, decoction piece processing and clinical application of this herb. MethodUltra high performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) was used for structural identification of the compounds using excimer ions, secondary MS and characteristic fragment ions, and referring to relevant literature and database information. Principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were used to screen the main differential components, the differential components were quantitatively studied by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), in order to compare the types and contents of chemical components in the decoction of different processing products of Lilii Bulbus. ResultA total of 24 chemical components were identified from the decoction of different processed products of Lilii Bulbus, water extract and scalding liquid of fresh Lilii Bulbus, including 17 phenols, 5 saponins and 2 alkaloids. Compared with the fresh Lilii Bulbus decoction, the contents of regaloside A, p-coumaric acid, colchicine and other components in the decoction of dry Lilii Bulbus processed by scalding method decreased, the content of regaloside C in the decoction of dry Lilii Bulbus processed by steaming method decreased, and the contents of regaloside A and regaloside C in the decoction of fresh Lilii Bulbus processed by water immersion also decreased. Compared with the decoction of dry Lilii Bulbus processed by scalding method, the overall content of components in the fresh Lilii Bulbus decoction and the decoction of fresh Lilii Bulbus processed by water immersion was higher, the contents of components in the decoction of dry Lilii Bulbus processed by steaming method was higher, except for the slightly lower content of regaloside C. ConclusionDifferent processing processes have a certain effect on the types and contents of chemical components in Lilii Bulbus decoction. Scalding process is beneficial to the preservation of Lilii Bulbus, but can cause the loss of effective components. Compared with scalding method, steaming method can prevent browning of Lilii Bulbus and reduce the loss of its active ingredients. The processing method of removing foam after overnight immersion proposed by ZHANG Zhongjing may be more conducive to the treatment of Baihe disease, which can provide reference for the clinical rational application and mechanism research of different processed products of Lilii Bulbus.
