Objective To analyze the characteristics of bone scintigraphy in 117 cases with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).Methods Of these 117 cases (50 males and 67 females),there were 116 parathyroid adenomas and 1 parathyroid cancer.Mean age was 61.1(12-86) years old.All had ~(99)Tc~m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scintigraphy.The bone images could be classified into 4 categories.Category Ⅰ:normal;category Ⅱ:localized abnormal,which could be subcategorized as Ⅱ A with skull and mandible involvement,and Ⅱ B with Ⅱ A characteristics plus metabolic derangement;category Ⅲ:systemic,whole-body incmased tracer uptake;category Ⅳ:systemic plus localized metabolic derangement.Data were analyzed statistically with X~2 and t-test (isolated samples).Results According to the scintigraphic findings,there were 47 cases(40.17%)of category Ⅰ,35 cases(29.91%) category Ⅱ (21/35cases Ⅱ A and 14/35 cases Ⅱ B),30 cases (25.64%) category Ⅲ,and 5 cases (4.27%) category Ⅳ.Combining categories Ⅱ、Ⅲ and Ⅳ together,there were 70 abnormal cases.These patients had history of abnormal bone images such as bone fracture (39 cases,55.71%),calculus (8 cases,11.43%),bone fracture plus calculus(7 cases,10.00%),osteoporosis (51 cases,72.86%) or ostalgia(26 cases,37.14%);however,in the 47 cases of category Ⅰ,only 1 (2.13%),0,0,10(21.28%)and 10 cases (21.28%),respectively,were found.Therefore.these case history characteristics were statistically significant (X~2=11.152,P=0.01).The tumor size,parathyroid hormone (PTH),blood calcium,blood phosphorus in the patients of abnormal PHPT categories Ⅱ to Ⅲ were(14.52±13.72)cm~3,(731.67±618.40)ng/L,(3.05±0.29) mmol/L and (0.71±0.14) mmol/L,respectively.with statistically significant difference compared to category Ⅰ:(0.78±1.33) cm~3,(112.04±62.98)ng/L,(2.56±0.42) mmol/L and (1.03±0.36)mmol/L(t=-5.724,-5.741,-7.274 and -6.451;all P＜0.01).Conclusions (1)Bone scintigraphy was normal in 40% of PHPT patients.(2)The bone images of PHPT could be classified into 4 categories and each could reflect the duration and severity of the disease status on bone.(3)The bone imaging characteristic could be useful for differential diagnostic purposes.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between serum albumin levels and coronary artery calcification （CAC） in patients with early-stage chronic kidney disease （CKD）， as well as the value of serum albumin levels in predicting the incidence and severity of CAC. MethodsThe study included 391 early-stage CKD patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography （CTA） at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2019 and December 2022. Demographic and biochemistry data， as well as the coronary CTA results， were collected. Based on the coronary artery calcification score （CACS）， all patients were divided into non-CAC group （CACS=0， n=184） and CAC group （CACS>0， n=207）. All patients were further divided into 3 groups based on the serum albumin levels： group A （serum albumin levels<35 g/L， n=30）， group B （35 g/L≤ serum albumin levels< 40 g/L， n=198） and group C （serum albumin levels≥ 40 g/L， n=163）. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between serum albumin levels and CAC in early-stage CKD patients. Differences in CAC among groups were analyzed by using post-hoc multiple comparisons and ordinal logistic regression model analysis. ResultsPatients with CAC had significantly lower serum albumin levels than those without CAC （P<0.05）. There was a negative correlation between serum albumin levels and CACS in early-stage CKD patients （P<0.01）， as serum albumin decreased in levels， CAC increased in severity. ConclusionsOur study shows that early-stage CKD patients with lower serum albumin levels have a higher incidence of CAC. Low serum albumin level is an independent risk factor for CAC progression.

To synchronize the radiation of microSelectron-HDR (Nucletron afterloading machine) and measurement of MOSFET dose system, a trigger system based on interface circuit was designed and corresponding monitor and trigger program were developed on Qt platform. This interface and control system was tested and showed stable operate and reliable work. This adopted serial port detect technique may expand to trigger application of other medical devices.

In this paper, we present and investigate a special kind of stationary wavelet algorithm using “inverse” hard threshold to eliminate the electrocardiogram (ECG) interference included in diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMGdi). Differing from traditional wavelet hard threshold, “inverse” hard threshold is used to shrink strong coefficients of ECG interference and reserve weak coefficients of EMGdi signal. Meanwhile, a novel QRS location algorithm is proposed for the position detection of R wave by using low frequency coefficients in this paper. With the proposed method, raw EMGdi is decomposed by wavelet at fifth scale. Then, each ECG interference threshold is calculated by mean square, which is estimated by wavelet coefficients in the ECG cycle at each level. Finally, ECG interference wavelet coefficients are removed by “inverse” hard threshold, and then the de-noised signal is reconstructed by wavelet coefficients. The simulation and clinical EMGdi de-noising results show that the “inverse” hard threshold investigated in this paper removes the ECG interference in EMGdi availably and reserves its signal characteristics effectively, as compared to wavelet threshold.

Methods A retrospective study was conducted according to 76 children patients with heamangioma of skin (including 53 cases of nevus flammenus, 20 strawberry hemangioma and 3 cavernous hemangioma) treated with 595nm tunable pulsed dye laser.

Objective To estimate the efficacy and safety of Voriconazole as antifungal prophylaxis of invasive fungal infection ( IFI) for malignant hematology patients. Methods The randomized controlled trials of Voriconazole treatment in invasive fungal infection for malignant hematology patients (ended in September 2014) were searched from Cochrane library, Medline, Embase, Pubmed, CBM, CNKI, Blood database. The meta analysis were performed by RevMan5.0. Results Ten literatures reported in 1 773 cases, in which there was significantly difference in effective rate between Voriconazole and other antifungal agents such as Amphotericin-B, Itraconazole, Micafungin and Fluconazole(P < 0.000 01); Four literatures indicated that there was significantly difference in adverse event rate between Voriconazole and amphotericin-B (P < 0.00 001); no significantly difference in adverse event rate between Voriconazole and amphotericin-B(P = 0.57); no significantly difference in adverse event rate between Voriconazole and Micafungin (P = 0.69); no significantly difference in adverse event rate between Voriconazole and Fluconazole (P = 0.70); Subgroup analysis indicated that adverse event rate between Voriconazole and Itraconazole is P=0.001, P = 0.17 respectively. Conclusion Voriconazole showed relative high efficient and low toxicity characteristics in treatment of malignant hematology accompanied by invasive fungal infection. But with its widely clinical application, the clinical value of Voriconazole needs to be further tested.
