Objective To study the value of transfer constant(Ktrans)derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) for quantitative evaluation of Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI) in glioma. Methods Twenty patients with glioma who underwent DCE-MRI and operation were retrospectively reviewed. The Ktrans value and Ki-67 LI were acquired and correlated using the Spearman correlation test. Also, the Ktrans values were compared between high(larger than 10%)and low(no more than 10%)Ki-67 LI group with Mann-Whitney U test, receiver operating characteristic curves was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value. Results The Ktrans value(0.0165 to 0.8048, median 0.1252)was significantly associated with Ki-67 LI(5%to 50%, median 20%) (r=0.721,P<0.001), and the Ktrans value was significantly higher in high Ki-67 group(0.0810 to 0.8048, median 0.1810)than that in low Ki-67 LI group(0.0165 to 0.1456, median 0.0697)(Z=-3.209, P=0.001). The most predictive Ktrans value differentiated high Ki-67 LI and low Ki-67 LI with an area under the curve(AUC) of 0.945 at a sensitivity of 92.3% and specificity of 85.7%. Conclusion Ktrans value could be used for quantitative evaluation of Ki-67 LI in glioma.

Objective To evaluate three different tracer-kinetic models used for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) data processing in the prediction of the histopathologic grade of cerebral gliomas.Methods Forty-one patients with histopathologically graded gliomas (grade Ⅱ 13,grade Ⅲ 14,grade Ⅳ 14)were imaged with DCE-MRI from March,2013 to November,2014.The values of Ktrans of gliomas were obtained by three tracer-kinetic models,which were Patlak model,Tofts model and Extended Tofts Linear model.All data were analyzed statistically by a Graphpad 6.0 statistical software.Comparison of the differences of Ktrans among different grades of gliomas was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's multiple comparisons test for the data not conform to normal distribution.Correlations of Ktrans values among those three models were analyzed using linear regression analysis,The differences of Ktrans between low grades and high grades of gliomas was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to determine the cut-off values for Ktrans to distinguish different low grades and high grades of gliomas.Results The Ktrans values obtained by Patlak model was 0.008(0.004-0.043) min-1for grade Ⅱ,0.021(0.005-0.088) min-1 for grade Ⅲ,and 0.035(0.017-0.061) min-1 for grade Ⅳ.The Ktrans values obtained by Tofts model was 0.085 (0.041-0.158)min 1for grade Ⅱ,0.140 (0.063-0.315) min-1for grade Ⅲ,0.229 (0.126-0.419)min 1 for grade Ⅳ.The Ktrans values obtained by Extended Tofts Linear model was 0.012 (0.004-0.092) min 1 for grade Ⅱ,0.048 (0.010-0.188) min-t for grade Ⅲ,0.094 (0.036-0.215)min 1 for grade Ⅳ.All the Ktrans values obtained by three models increased when the histological grades increased,with statistical significance between grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ (H=18.31,18.09,20.18,P＜0.05).Ktrans values among the three models had good linear correlations.The Ktrans obtained by Extended Tofts Linear model had good linear correlations with both Patlak model and Tofts model (r=0.933,0.893,P＜0.05),and the Ktrans obtained by Patlak model had less linear correlation with Tofts model (r=0.822,P＜0.05).The K values were statistically different between LGG and HGG (P＜0.01).The cut-off value of K provided good combination of sensitivity and specificity in the differentiation between LGG and HGG,and the K obtained by Extended Tofts Linear model had the best sensitivity and specificity among the three models (sensitivity 92.3％,specificity 85.7％).Conclusions K from DCE-MRI has a high performance in predicting the histopathologic grade of brain glioma,and the Extended Tofts Linear model is more suitable for the evaluation of cerebral glioma.

Objective To compare the effectiveness,safety and related clinical indicators between simple drainage treatment and drainage treatment combined with intrathoracic urokinase for children with parapneumonic pleural effusion(PPE).Methods Twenty-nine in patients with PPE given pleural effusion drainage in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected as research subjects,who were divided into a simple group and an urokinase group based on whether intrathoracic urokinase was injected or not.The total number of hospital stay,the total drainage volume,the total number of catheter days,the total cost,the days with fever,efficient rate,operation rate and security of the patients were retrospectively analyzed between two groups.Results The intrathoracic days of hospital stay [M(P25,P75)] of urokinase group[19(11,30) days]were less than those of simple group[30(21,38) days],and the difference was significant (Z =-2.545,P =0.011);the total drainage volume[M(P25,P75)] of the urokinase group [430 (175,1 308) mL] was more than that of the simple group [110 (10,325)mL],and the difference was significant (Z =-2.811,P =0.005);the total number of catheter days [M (P25,P75)] of urokinase group [9 (7,19) days] was less than that of the simple group [20 (10,30) days],and the difference was significant (Z =-2.020,P =0.043);the total cost [M(P25,P75)] of the urokinase group [20 000(10 000,30 000)RMB] was less than that of the simple group [40 000 (30 000,50 000) RMB],and the difference was significant (Z =-2.631,P =0.009);the days with fever between urokinase group and the simple group was not significant (Z =-0.820,P =0.412).The urokinase group had a higher cure rate[76.9％ (10/13 cases)] and a lower surgical rate [23.1％ (3/13 cases)] compared with those of the simple group[18.7％ (3/16 cases),81.3％ (3/16 cases)],and the difference was significant (x2 =9.814,P =0.003).Conclusions Intrapleural urokinase therapy as an adjuvant treatment of PPE is simple and convenient,economic,higher efficiency,lower risk,which can be used as an effective clinical solution such disease.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrapleural fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of childhood empyema.Methods The data from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese BioMedical (CBM),PubMed,VIP Database and Cochrane library were reviewed.Randomized control trials by using intrapleural fibrinolytic agents to treat childhood empyema were included.Two reviewers independently extracted the data from the eligible studies and evaluated the quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed for the results of homogeneous studies using RevMan 5.2 software,while others analyzed descriptively.Results Five randomized control trials involving 248 children with empyema were included.Meta-analysis was not made in all of the indexes because of apparent heterogeneity and limited data.Two trials were compared which involved 98 patients receiving fibrinolytic agents or 9 g/L saline.The results suggested that fibrinolytic agents shortened the length of hospital stay and reduced complication(all P ＜ 0.05),but no significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the effective rate,duration of fever and pleural effusion amount(OR =3.61,95％ CI 0.84-15.49,P ＞ 0.05).Three trials involving 150 patients compared fibrinolytic agents and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).The data suggested that no significant differences were found between 2 groups in the effective rate (OR =0.70,95 ％ CI 0.30-0.61,P ＞ 0.05),but fibrinolytic agents cost less (P ＜ 0.05).The adverse drug reactions to intrapleural fibrinolytic agents were mild to moderate,and well tolerated.Conclusions The findings suggest that intrapleural fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of childhood empyema is safe and effective,especially in encapsulated effusion.Compared to 9 g/L saline,it can shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce complication.Compared with VATS,the curative effect is similar,while intrapleural fibrinolytic agents are economic.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) plus electroacupuncture in treating periarthritis of shoulder.Method Ninety patients with periarthritis of shoulder were randomized into an electroacupuncture (EA) group, an ESW group, and an ESW plus EA group, 30 cases in each group. The EA group was intervened by EA, the ESW group was treated with ESW, and the ESW plus EA group by ESW and EA. The three groups were treated once every 2 d, with successive 10 sessions as a treatment course. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and shoulder range of motion (ROM) score were evaluated before and after the treatment in the three groups. Result The VAS scores dropped significantly in the three groups after the intervention (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in comparing the VAS score between the EA group and ESW group after the intervention (P>0.05); the VAS score in the ESW plus EA group was significantly different from that in the EA group and ESW group after the treatment (P<0.05). The ROM scores were significantly improved in the three groups after the intervention (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in comparing the ROM score between the EA group and the ESW group after the intervention (P>0.05); the ROM score in the ESW plus EA group was significant different from that in the other two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion ESW plus EA can more significantly ease the pain and improve the shoulder ROM in treating periarthritis of shoulder compared with the two methods used separately.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics and prognosis of lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) in chil-dren. Method Clinical data of one pediatric LPG patient were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical features and prognosis of childhood LPG were summarized based on literature review. Results A nine years old girl presented with frequent urination. The ifrst urine test revealed hematuria and proteinuria. After one week anti-infection treatment, the hematuria and proteinuria were continued. The serum albumin was slightly reduced. The hyperlipidemia and mild anemia were emerged. Kidney biopsy showed that enlarged glomeruli, with dilated capillary loops and weak eosinophilic lipoprotein thrombi in the capillary lumina under the light microscope;layered or tuftedemboluscontaining particulated lipid vacuoles under electron microscope. Gene sequencing identified APOE Tokyo (Leu141-Lys143→0). The diagnosis of LPG was confirmed. The lipid-lowering therapy was administrated and the disease was alleviated. Conclusion LPG is a rare disease in children. The level of blood lipid was signiifcantly increased, and the hormone therapy was ineffective. Kidney biopsy is the main basis for diagnosis. The genetic testing can prompt the genetic background. Lipid lowering therapy can relieve the progress of the disease.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for occult pneumonia(OP) in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS).Methods The clinical data of 115 children with PNS and findings of chest CT from July 2010 to June 2016 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Based on the findings of chest CT,the subjects were divided into 2 groups:OP group and unoccult pneumonia (UOP) group.The comparisons were made between 2 groups,including gender,age,season,course of disease before admitting to hospital,formation of ascites,white blood cells,C-reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,total protein (TP),albumin (ALB),total cholesterol,immunoglobulin G (IgG),immunoglobulin E,urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and 24 h urinary protein quantity/body weight.The single factor analysis was performed to analyze above indicators between 2 groups,and the indicators which had statistical significance were analyzed by single factor analysis were analyzed by the multifactor Logistic regression.The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predicting ability of the indicators for PNS combined with OP.Results Among 1 15 cases,68 (59.1％) PNS patients were complicated with OP.The result of single factor analysis indicated that the risk factors were the formation of ascites,TP,ALB,IgG and NAG (all P ＜0.05).The multifactor Logistic regression showed that ascites,TP and ALB were the risk factors for OP in children with PNS(P =0.003,0.004,0.003).The area under curve (AUC) of ALB was 0.709,and the critical value was 18.55 g/L(P =0.000);the AUC of TP was 0.658,and the critical value was 39.15 g/L(P =0.004).Conclusion The incidence rate of PNS combined with OP was high.With the presence of formation of ascites,TP ＜39.15 g/L and ALB ＜ 18.55 g/L,it may indicate OP for the PNS children which require special consideration clinically and earlier chest CT examination.
