Objective To study the suitable dose of intracoronary adenosine (AD) on fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in Chinese patients with angiographic coronary artery disease. Methods FFR was measured in 32 patients with 40 moderate coronary stenosis. Boluses of intracoronary AD at increasing doses of 60μg (A1), 80μg (A2), 100μg (A3) and 120μg (A4) were randomly administered. FFR values, symptoms, systemic effects and development of atrioventricular block were recorded. Results FFR value decreased significantly by 8.99%(A1), 11.24%(A2), 13.48%(A3) and 13.48%(A4) compared with the baseline distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure (0.891±0.044, all P<0.001). A3 and A4 showed significantly lower FFR values than A1 (t=6.331、6.343, all P < 0.001),A2 (t=2.974、3.058, P=0.005、0.004). Positive rates of an FFR of<0.75 were 30.0%(n=12), 32.5%(n=13), 35.0%(n=14) and 35.0%(n=14) in A1, A2, A3 and A4. A total of 13 patients(40.6%) reported at least one side effects. Conclusions This study suggests a dose-response relationship for intracoronary AD on the measurement of FFR in Chinese patients with angiographic coronary artery disease. The suitable dose of bolus of intracoronary AD is 100μg.

Objective To analysis the diagnostic values and characteristics of ultrasound and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) before operation. Methods The data of ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAC in 129 patients (including 148 PTC nodules) with PTC were collected from January 2014 to February 2017, and the diagnostic reports and feature descriptions of ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAC were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 148 PTC nodules, the ultrasonographic imaging showed that 84.5% (125/148) with low echo-level solid nodules, 61.5% (91/148) with echo heterogenicity, 77.7% (115/148) with a ratio ≥ 1 in longitudinal/breadth, 69.6 % (103/148) with fuzzy boundary, 75.0% (111/148) with microcalcification in nodules, 97.3% (144/148) without or with incomplete aureole, 64.9% (96/148) with rich blood flow and 7.0% (9/129) with enlargement of cervical lymph nodes. The FNAC diagnosis showed that 78.4% (116/148) was diagnosed with suspected papillary carcinoma, 1.4% (2/148) was diagnosed with malignent tumor, 11.5% (17/148) was diagnosed with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS), 1.4% (2/148) was diagnosed with benign lesion, 0.7% (1/148) was diagnosed with follicular neoplasm and 6.7% (10/148) could not be diagnosed. If the suspected papillary carcinoma and malignent tumor were defined as cytodiagnosis, the diagnostic accordance rate with intraoperative pathology was 79.7%. Conclusion The preoperative accuracy rates of ultrasound diagnosis and ultrasound guided FNAC diagnosis for patients with PTC are high, and the characteristics of the both are also typical. The two examinations before operation are helpful for early diagnosis and treatment formulation for patients with PTC.

AIM: To analyze the characteristics of neurological ophthalmology manifestation of patients with neurosyphilis. · METHODS: Retrospective and nonrandomized case analysis were used. Totally 22 cases of 39 eyes were included. They were 17 males and 5 females, aged from 34 to 65 years old. The average age were 49. 6 years old. ·RESULTS: The optic nerve atrophy presented in 11 cases of 22 eyes. One eye of them accompanied by left eye oculomotor nerve palsy;5 eyes in 3 cases expressed as optic neuritis acute phase;neuroretinitis appeared in 4 cases of 6 eyes; 1 case of 2 eyes expressed as chorioretinitis accompanied by optic disc edema; central retinal artery occlusion were found in 1 case of 1 eye. Argyll-Robertson pupil was as only manifestation in 2 cases of 3 eyes. In all cases, Argyll-Robertson pupil signs can be seen in 19 eyes. Treponema pallidum particle agglutination test ( TPPA) were positive in all 22 cases. Syphilis rapid plasma reactin test ( RPR ) were positive in 19 of 21 cases. All patients underwent lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid were detected for RPR, cerebrospinal fluid protein, white blood cell count. Cerebrospinal fluid RPR were positive in 13 cases. Cerebrospinal fluid protein were greater than 450mg/L in 18 cases. Cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count were greater than 5/mm3 in 13 cases. · CONCLUSION: Neurosyphilis involving neuro -ophthalmology often occurs in middle-aged men and subacute onset. Both eyes can suffered from optic nerve disease simultaneously or sequencely. A few can be expressed as other cranial nerve palsy, which may lead to misdiagnosis. Considering medical history, clinical manifestations, ophthalmic examination, serum and cerebrospinal fluid laboratory tests can improve the diagnostic rate.
