Cancer Research and Clinic 2011;23(6):396-399
Objective To discuss the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography diagnostic value of the liver low-density focus on contrast-enhanced CT. Methods The contrast-enhanced ultrasonography results of 47 cases of the liver low-density focus on contrast-enhanced CT. were retrospectively analyzed. Results The pathological diagnosis in 47 focuses was metastatic carcinoma 20 cases, inflammatory pseudotumour 9 cases,hepatic hemangioma 6 cases, primary liver carcinoma 4 cases, cyst 2 cases, abscess 2 cases, tuberculosis 2 cases, FNH (focal liver nodular hyperplasia) 1 case, local adipose tissue infiltration of liver 1 case. 45 cases of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography diagnosis was consistent with pathological or clinical diagnosis. Cysts and inflammatory pseudotumour had not ultrasound contrast enhancement in the entire phase, but the crossed blood vessels was observed in inflammatory pseudotumour. The local adipose infiltration of liver had synchronous ultrasound contrast enhancement accompanied with liver tissue enhancement. 80% (12/15) of liver metastases of lack of blood supply showed fast contrast enhancement around the tumour edge and homogeneous and light contrast enhancement in the tumour center. 80 % (4/5) of liver metastases of rich of blood supply showed heavy and rapid contrast enhancement in the whole tumour. The enhancement degree in bscess and tuberculosis in the ultrasound contrast enhancement was correlated with necrosis degree, which showed fast and uneven contrast enhancement, hepatic hemangioma showed gradually contrast enhancement from its edge to center, whose enhancement time lasted for longer time than that of metastatic tumour with a statistically difference. FNH showed a typical contrast enhancement pattern, fast enhancement and fast weakening from center to edge. Hepatic cell carcinoma showed fast enhancement and fast weakening in the whole tumour. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography have diagnostic value of CT liver focus of low-density, which is helpful for the differential diagnosis of such focus.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholangiol drainage(PTCD) for treating obstructive jaundice. Methods 248 cases of PTCD were performed in 224 patients under the guidance of color Doppler ultrasound. 118 PTCD cases were carried out passing through the inferior segmental biliary duet of Left laterallobe (Left drainage mode). Right lobe drainage mode (right drainage mode)was conducted in 130 patients. Left plus right lobe drainage mode in 16 patients. Results The total success rate was 99.59 %(247/248), and the success rate of the firs time PTCD was 92.33 %(229/248). The success rate of left drainage mode was significantly higher than righl lobe drainage (96.61% vs 88.46 %, P <0.05). Conclusion The technique of color Doppler ultrasound-guided PTCD is an efficient method in obstructive jaundice therapy, with the advantages of safety, convenience, minimal invasion, and higher success rate.

OBJECTIVETo explore the feasibility of the transdiferentiation of human breast adipose-derived stem cells (hbASCs) into mammary epithelial-like cells after co-culturing in Transwell in vitro.
METHODSThe third passage hbASC and the HBL-100 cell line were co-cultured in a Transwell culture system for 15 days. The hbASCs were observed and identified by inverted phase contrast microscope and transmission electron microscopy, and immunocytochemistry staining in the induced and control groups.
RESULTSBoth the third passage hbASCs and the HBL-100 cell line cells could adhere and grow rapidly after co-culture in the Transwell system. After co-culture for 15 days, the morphology of some induced hbASCs changed into epithelial-like cells. Some induced hbASCs showed positive expression of CK18, CK19 by immunocytochemistry staining, and typical epithelium cells with microvilli, desmosomes and tonofilaments observed under TEM. The positive rate of CK18 and CK19 was (24.4 +/- 12.0)% and (21.6 +/- 16.4)% in experimental group, and (1.8 +/- 1.7)% and (1.1 +/- 0.6)% in control group.
CONCLUSIONThe data suggests that hbASCs may have the potential to transdifferentiate into human mammary epithelial-like cells after co-culturing in Transwell in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound in diagnosing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Methods The sonographic characteristics of 12 DCIS which were confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Results The ultrasound image of DCIS could be divided into four types;the solid mass nodule, mammary dysplasia, mix mass nodule, the dilated duct type. Micro calcification had high incidence rate. Ultrasonic diagnosis accordance rate was 50.0 %. On molybdenum target mammograms, the tumor appeared as a cluster of calcified spots in 8 cases, and the accuracy rate of diagnosis of was 66.7 %.Conclusion There are no typical characters of DCIS in ultrasound image. However, some characteristics are suggestive and can help to differentiate them from the benign tumors, such as small nodule, irregular shape,obscure boundary, and microcalcification. When sonography combine with molybdenum target mammography,the accuracy rate of diagnosis will be improved.

Objective To compare the value of intrarectal filling with water and filling in rubber sheath with water in endoluminal uhrasonography for preoperative staging of rectal tumors. Methods 215 cases of rectal tumors were divided into two groups. 120 cases using the method of filling in rubber sheath with water and 95 cases using intrarectal filling with water were diagnosed with uhrasonography. The results were compared with corresponding pathologic results for the judgment of their accuracy. Results The accuracy for the diagnosis of infiltration depth was 60.0 % in the first group and was 73.7 % in the second. The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The accuracy for diagnosis of metastases of perirectal lymph nodes was 82.5 % in the first group and was 80.0 % in the second. The difference has no statistical significance (P >0.50). Conclusion Intrarectai filling with water is better than filling in rubber sheath with water in the diagnosis of infiltration depth of rectal tumors, while there is no difference in the diagnosis of metastasis of perirectal lymph nodes.

Objective To investigate the sonographic diagnostic value of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Methods Ultrasonography of 22 cases with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma were observed with color doppler sonography.The shape,size,echo,boundary,microcalcifieation foci and blood stream distribution were studied,and contrasted with pathological diagnosis after operation.Lymphnode in cervical part and sulcus esophagus were examined.The characters of thyropathy according to the above sonographie features were judged. Results 16uhrasonography or before operation and biopsy,in which 9 were left,7 were right.6 cases were in both leaves.Ultrasound showed that 2 cases were poody differentiated thyroid carcinoma, 1 case was parathyroid carcinoma. 1 case was Hashimoto's thyroditis, and remainders were thyroid carcinoma. Conclusion Ultrasonography could enhance the detection rates and diagnose accordance rates of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.
