Objective To investigate the metabolism change of intestinal flora due to chronic hypoxia in infants. Methods Ten infants with tetralogy of fallot were considered as the chronic hypoxia group,10 healthy infants were regarded as the control group. The urine concen-tration of hippurate in the morning with fasting was detected by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance. Results The concentration of hippurate was decreased in hypoxia group compared with the control group,(47. 15 ± 32. 88) mg/L vs (346. 698 ± 13. 555) mg/L,with significant differ-ence,P=0. 002. Conclusion Chronic hypoxia alters metabolism of intestinal flora in infants.

Objective To assess the value of MRI combined with CT in the diagnosis of ovarian sex cord stromal tumor (OSCST).Methods The CT and MRI features of 29 cases with OSCST confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Fibrothecoma in 19 cases showed a solitary round mass with a regular border,solid in 12 cases (63.1％) and cystic-solid in 7 cases (36.9％),calcification in 2 cases,isointense on T1WI and hypointense or slight hyperintense on T2WI with slight enhancement.Granule cell tumor in 9 cases showed a solitary cystic solid mass with thick wall,without nodules on cystic wall,and slight enhancement in the solid parts.Sertoli-leydig cell tumor in 1 case showed a solid mass,slightly hyperintense on T1WI,hyperintense on T2 WI,and obvious enhancement.Conclusion CT and MRI manifestations of OSCST demonstrate some characteristics.Combination with MRI and CT can improve the accuracy of the diagnosis.
