Objective To compare the diagnostic value of 3.0T and 1.5T magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer. Methods Preoperative magnetic resonance examination was performed on 50 patients with gastric cancer by using Siemens 1.5T and 3.0T superconducting magnetic resonance imaging system, and the outcomes were compared with postoperative pathological results. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the diagnosis in lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer were analyzed statistically. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of lymph nodes were also evaluated for 1.5T and 3.0T magnetic resonance DWI. Results The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the diagnosis on lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer by 1.5T magnetic resonance DWI were 79.4 %, 81.4%and 80.0%, respectively, and the corresponding percentages of 3.0T magnetic resonance DWI were 84.6%, 79.7%and 83.1%. The accuracy rate of 3.0T magnetic resonance DWI was slightly higher than that of 1.5T in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer (χ2=5.451, P=0.020), but there were no significant differences in the sensitivity and specificity between the two groups (both P> 0.05). The accuracy rate of 1.5T magnetic resonance DWI in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer was less effective than that of the pathological diagnosis (χ2=7.410, P=0.007), but there was no significant difference between 3.0T magnetic resonance DWI and pathological diagnosis (χ2=2.450, P=0.120). The mean ADC values of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes detected by 1.5T magnetic resonance DWI were (1.036 ±0.203) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.476 ± 0.215) × 10-3 mm2/s (t= 6.813, P< 0.001), meanwhile, the corresponding values detected by 3.0T magnetic resonance DWI were (1.154 ± 0.183) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.502 ± 0.264) × 10-3 mm2/s (t= 5.991, P< 0.001). The coincidence of the two methods for ADC value was favorable. Conclusions The diagnostic effect of 3.0T magnetic resonance DWI on lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer is better than that of 1.5T. ADC value provides a reliable imaging quantitative indicator for the determination of metastatic lymph nodes in gastric cancer, which plays a significant role in the clinical treatment options and prognosis of patients.

Objective To explore the cancer incidence in registration areas in Shanxi Province. Methods Data of 8 cancer registration areas in 2011 were taken into account and cancer incidence in different areas with different ages was compared with that in other domestic areas. Results 8 395 new cases in Shanxi all cancer sites were reported in 2011, including 4 810 male and 3 585 female. The incidence of malignant cancer of Shanxi was 207.53/100 000, and the standardized incidence of Chinese population and world population were 125.20/100 000 and 165.72/100 000, respectively. In urban areas, the incidence of Shanxi and the standardized incidence of Chinese population were 202.49/100 000 and 112.81/100 000, respectively. In rural areas, incidence rate of Shanxi was 211.96/100 000 and the standardized incidence of Chinese population was 138.43/100 000. In Shanxi Province, the major malignant cancer sites for males involved stomach, lung, esophagus, liver and colorectum, and cancer sites for females were more on cervix, lung, breast, stomach and esophagus. Conclusions Upper gastrointestinal cancer and uterine cervix cancer are the major cancers in Shanxi registration areas. The incidence of stomach cancer and uterine cervix cancer in Shanxi Province are much higher than national average.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and efficacy on cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer by HPV 16/18 E6 protein detection. Methods A total of 439 females with sexual activities were selected from Department of Gynaecology in Shanxi Cancer Hospital from May 2014 to January 2015, including 299 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)Ⅱ, CINⅢ or cervical cancer (the case group), and the other 140 cases (the control group). All the patients accepted the thinprep cytology test (TCT), HPV DNA and HPV 16/18 E6 oncoprotein tests and colposcope examination. Results The positive rates of the TCT, HPV DNA, HPV 16/18 E6 oncoprotein in the case group were 97.0 % (290/299), 94.3 % (282/299) and 66.9 % (200/299), respectively, and those in the control group were 44.3 % (62/140), 21.4 % (30/140) and 2.9%(4/140), respectively, and there were significant differences between both groups (all P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of the HPV 16/18 E6 oncoprotein test in detecting CINⅡ and above were 66.9 %and 97.1 %, respectively, and both of HPV DNA test were 94.3 % and 78.6 %, respectively; The consistent rate between HPV 16/18 E6 and HPV DNA was 71.9 % (κ= 0.21). In the case group, when TCT was associated with HPV DNA test, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 98.9%, 82.8%and 81.7%, respectively, and when TCT was combined with HPV 16/18 E6 oncoprotein test, those were up to 97.9 %, 97.1 % and 95.0 %. Conclusion HPV 16/18 E6 oncoprotein test can improve the specificity of cervical cancer screening, so it may be used as a primary screening method in the less developed areas where HPV DNA test is difficult to be carried out, or as a shunt method for HPV DNA positive patients, which will allocate the limited health resources rationally.

Objective:To observe the characteristics of choroidal thickness in patients with macular edema secondary to superior temporal branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO-ME).Methods:A retrospective control study. From November 2020 to September 2021, 30 patients (30 eyes) with BRVO-ME (BRVO-ME group) were diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in Department of Ophthalmology, The Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College and 14 healthy volunteers (28 eyes) were enrolled in the study. The choroidal thickness of macular area was measured by enhanced deep imaging technique of frequency domain optical coherence tomography. According to the subdivision of the diabetic retinopathy treatment group, the choroid within the 6 mm of the macular fovea was divided into three concentric circles with the macular fovea as the center, namely, the central area with the diameter of 1 mm, the inner ring of 1-3 mm and the outer ring of 3-6 mm. The inner ring area and the outer ring area are divided into upper, lower, nasal and temporal sides, respectively, which are denoted as S3, I3, N3, T3 and S6, I6, N6, T6, totaling 9 areas. To observe the distribution characteristics of choroidal thickness in different regions of two groups of eyes. The choroidal thickness of different macular regions was compared by independent sample t-test. Results:The choroidal thicknesses in the central area, S3, T3, I3, N3, S6, T6, I6, and N6 of the eyes in the control group and BRVO-ME group were 214.11±56.04, 207.89±57.92, 214.07±54.82, 207.14±61.54, 180.18±53.53, 204.25±59.60, 193.93±51.50, 190.54±51.21, 139.82±39.84 μm and 258.00±71.14, 256.43±68.70, 252.07±72.97, 244.37±68.49, 243.10±70.93, 247.20±68.36, 221.00±61.28, 223.77±58.64, 183.20±60.15 μm. In both groups, the choroidal thickness was the thickest in the central area, gradually thinning to the nasal side and temporal side, and the nasal choroidal thickness was thinner than other regions, and N6 area was the thinnest. Compared with the control group, the choroidal thickness of central area, S3, T3, I3, N3, S6, I6 and N6 in BRVO-ME group were significantly thicker ( t=-2.899, -2.229, -2.172,-3.250, -2.543, -2.292, -3.214; P<0.05), there was no significant difference in T6 area ( t=-1.814, P=0.075). Conclusion:The choroidal thickness of macular area in patients with BRVO-ME is thicker than that in normal subjects.
