Objective To investigate the CT imaging features of pancreatic fatty replacement and its clinical significance. Methods Three patients with pancreatic fatty replacement detected by CT were retrospectively analyzed. CT examination included plain scan and contrast-enhanced scanning at the arterial and portal venous phases. The shape, size, density, pancreatic lobulation and interlobular spaces, course of the pancreatic duct were carefully observed. The clinic and laboratory data were also analyzed to determine the clinical significance of pancreatic fatty replacement. Results ①Imaging features: Two patients had complete fatty replacement involving the entire pancreas, another one had most fatty replacement sparing the posterior aspect of head and tail. Two patients had regular configuration of pancreas. The size of pancreas was slightly enlarged in 2 patients. Lobular atrophy and widening of interlobular spaces were present in all 3 patients. The pancreatic duct was normal in 3 patients. ②Clinic findings: Chronic diarrhea was present in 3 patients. Two patiens had diabetes (one had chronic cholangitis with choledochal lithiasis), another one had small stone in the common bile duct. Serum lipase was low in 3 patients, of which one had low serum amylase. Conclusion Pancreatic fatty replacement demonstrates certain characteristic CT appearances, and is usually associated with disturbances of both the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in tissues of nasal inverted papilloma (NIP).MethodsThe clinical data of patients with NIP underwent surgical resection were retrospectively analyzed.The TGF-β1 and VEGF expression in NIP tissues and nasal polyps tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry method.100 patients with NIP were divided into benign lesions,atypical hyperplasia and malignant group according to result of pathological diagnosis,the nasal polyps was used as the control group.ResultsThe positive expression rate of TGF-β1 and VEGF in the NIP group were 46.0％ and 32.0％,compared with the control group the differences were significant(all P ＜ 0.05 ).In different pathological groups,the results of TGF-β1 and VEGF expression were malignant group ＞ atypical hyperplasia ＞ benign lesions.The positive expression rate of TGF-β1 and VEGF in the NIP group had significantly positive correlation(P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe TGF-β1 and VEGF expression were closely related to the the occurrence,development and malignant of NIP.TGF-β1 was highly expressed in the NIP tissues,and could increase the expression of VEGF and promote the formation of neovascularization of NIP.

Objective To study the right ventricular function of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism by using color Doppler ultrasound.Methods 31 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism,compared with 31 vohnteers,were enrolled in this study.The right ventricular anterior wall movement,right ventricular end diastolic volume,right ventricular ejection fraction,and myocardial performance index were observed by echocardiography.Resuits The right atrium diameter,right ventricles diameter,right ventrieular end diastolic volume and pulmonary artery inner diameter in study group were much larger than that in control group (P<0.01),and the right ventricular anterior wall movement and right ventrieular ejection fraction decreased in study group (P<0.01).Tricuspidal annular E peak velocity tended to be decreased,isovolumie relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time were prolonged and myocardial performance index was increased (P<0.01).Right ventricular myocardial performance index showed significant correlation with right ventrieular ejection fraction (r=0.78,P<0.01),isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time(rl=0.88,r2=0.57,P<0.01).Conclusion The right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary thromboembelism is decreased and myocardial performance index is a sensitive index which can be used to reflect right ventricular function in pulmonary thromboembolism.
