Objective To study the diagnos tic value of mammography, color Dopp ler ultrasound and biopsy in early breast cancer and to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy. Methods 55 patients with breast cancer an d 25 patients with benign breast masses, proved pathologically, were checked by mammogra phy, color Doppler ultrasound and biopsy. Results Mammography demonstrated bre ast cancer in 45 cases, the sensitivity and specificity were 82.0% and 88.0%, re spectively, with the accuracy of 83.8%; Color Doppler ultrasound revealed breas t cancer in 43 cases, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 78.2%, 84 .0% and 80.0%; Biopsy demonstrated breast cancer in 53 cases, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 96.4%, 92.0% and 95.0%. When ultrasound, mammagrap hy and biopsy were combined together, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 98.2%, 96.0% and 97.5%. Conclusion Mammography, color Dopp ler ultrasound combined with biopsy can increase the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of ear ly breast cancers.

Objective To study on the factors of countercurrent occured in hysterosalpingography to improve the understanding of countercurrent.Methods 180 patients who underwent hysterosalpingography due to infertility were recruited,and 63 of them who were involved in countercurrent in the process of hysterosalpingography were analyzed statistically.Results The single factor analy-sis demonstrated that such four factors of primary/secondary infertility,menstrual clean days,tubal obstruction or not,and depth of cannula were associated with countercurrent,while Logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors of menstrual clean days, tubal obstruction or not,and depth of cannula during the hysterosalpingography operation were closely related.Conclusion Counter-current are caused by the comprehensive impact of several comprehensive factors like menstrual clean day,tubal obstruction or not, and cannula operation.Therefore adequate preparation should be made before and during the operation,to reduce the occurrences of countercurrent.

Objective To investigate the application of multi-sliced CT on breast cancer and early lymph node metastasis (LNM). Methods 30 cases with infiltrative ductal carcinoma (IDC)confirmed by pathology were collected and set as Study Group,30 fibro-mas as Control Group.128-slice CT plain and 2 phrase enhance scan was undergone.Image signs of mass of two groups were com-pared.Image signs of early lymph node metastasis were analyzed.Results In MSCT images,IDC masses had irregular shape,burr rim.2-phrase MSCI demonstrated obvious enhancement in artery phrase,persistence enhancement in vein phrase and ring shape en-hancement.There were significant different between 2 groups in mass shape,rim and enhancement mode(P<0.05).MSCT demon-strated 22 LNM,but 6 of them had no swelling but obvious enhancement.Conclusion 2-phrase MSCT plays an important role in as-sessing breast cancer and early lymph node metastasis.

Objective To explore the value of low-dose CT in assessment of neonatal pneumothorax.Methods Low-dose CT and chest radiographys were performed in 98 neonates with clinically suspected of pneumothorax.Results Pneumothorax was detected in 98 neonates by low-doseCT, compared with 84 neonates by chest radiography.The sensitivity of low-dose CT was higher than that of chest radiography (P =0.026<0.05). Conclusion Low-dose CT provides a reliable assessment of neonatal pneumothorax and a guide for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To evaluate the influence of preoperative MRI on tumor-positive rate of resection margins in breast cancer patients eligible for breast-conserving surgery.Methods Study group consisted of 64 consecutive patients with breast cancer eligible for breast-conserving surgery,while 73 cases as history control group.For the two groups,a first plan for breast-conserving surgery was made on the basis of conventional imaging and clinical evaluation.Study group underwent preoperative breast MRI and re-evalu-ated before final surgical plan was made.Rates of tumor-positive resection margins were compared between the 2 groups.Surgical plan alteration was recorded in the study group.Results Study group had lower rate of tumor-positive resection margin compared with control group (9.6% vs 24.7%,P =0.04).Furthermore,18.8% of study group altered the finial surgical plan to mastectomy after breast MRI.Conclusion Preoperative breast MRI can more acurately evaluate the extent of breast cancer,therefore decrease rate of tumor-positive resection margin in breast cancer patients eligible for breast-conserving surgery.

Objective To explore MRI features of mucinous breast carcinoma.Methods MR data of 34 patients with mucinous breast carcinoma confirmed by histopathology were analyzed retrospectively,including lesions morphology,maximum diameter,T1WI and T2WI signal characteristics,features of internal reinforcement,time-intensity curve (TIC) type,DWI and ADC characteristics.Results There were 22 cases of pure tumors and 12 mixed tumors;21 cases were mass types,6 cases were non-mass types,and 7 cases were multiple nodular types.On T1WI,there were low signal intensity in 22 case,equal signal in 10 cases,and mixed high signal in 2 cases.On fat suppression T2WI,20 cases showed high signal,13 cases showed mixed high signal and 1 case showed low signal,and 19 cases showed low signal fiber separation inside.Dynamic contrast enhancement showed typical circinate enhancement in 11 cases.TIC of 11 cases were wash-in types,18 cases were lateau types and 5 cases were wash-out types.Conclusion MRI features of mucinous breast carcinoma has certain characteristics.MRI is helpful to diagnosis of mucinous breast carcinoma

Objective To explore the value of low-dose CT in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease(CHD)with tracheal stenosis (CTS)in infants.Methods Data of low-dose CT and echocardiography in 18 cases of CHD with CTS were analyzed retrospectively, and compared with surgical findings.Results 18 cases of CST were comfirmed by surgical operation.The diagnostic accuracy of low-dose CT was 100%,and there was no statistical difference in the assessment of the range and degree in tracheal stenosis(P=0.76>0.05, P=0.767>0.05).42 cardiac anomalies were comfirmed by operation.The diagnostic accuracies of low-dose CT and echocardiography were 88.1% and 90.5% respectively,which was no statistical difference(P=0.825>0.05).15 cases of CTS(15/18,83.33%)were caused by the compression of the vessels,in which there were 9 cases by pulmonary artery sling,3 cases by vascular ring,3 cases by double aortic arches.Conclusion Low-dose CT can accurately diagnose CHD with CTS and provide important information for clinical practice.

Objective To observe the mechanisms of autophagic eukaryotic cells in Acinetobacter microvilli removal and protein histological study on apoptosis induced by macrophages .Methods A model of Acinetobacter baumannii infection was established in 24 female OCR mice .The mice were randomly divided into control group (n= 12) and observation group (n= 12) .The control group was injected with normal saline ,and the observation group was injected with autophagy eukaryotic cells ,the histopathological changes of Acinetobacter and the induction of macrophage apoptosis were observed .Results There was no significant difference in the bacterial counts between the two groups of mice immediately after implantation (P>0 .05) ,the bacterial counts in the 24 and 48 h in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0 .05) .The lung tissue of mice in the ob-servation group injected after autophagy was normal ,the alveolar cavity was open ,no abnormal substances were found ,the alveolar wall was not obviously thickened ,and no inflammatory cell infiltration was found in the wall .The mice in the control group were in-jected with normal saline and lacked the ability to remove Acinetobacter ,resulting in a large number of inflammatory cell infiltra-tion ,vasodilatation ,and congestion in some mice .Conclusion Autophagic eukaryotic cells injected with Acinetobacter baumannii can increase the clearance rate ,induce apoptosis of macrophages and improve the quality of Acinetobacter baumannii .
