Objective To investigate the dynamic CT features of peripheral lung cancer (PLC) and pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor(IPT).Methods 23 patients with PLC and 6 patients with IPT were undergone plain and dynamic enhanced CT scans (beginning at 30 s after the onset of injection,serial scan were obtained at 30 s intervals within 180 s) before surgery or administration of antibiotic.Results The average CT values of plain CT,CT enhanced attenuation at 30 s and 90 s were significantly different between PLC and IPT.There were no significant decline following peak enhancement in IPT but PLC within 180 s.Conclusion The comprehensive analysis of plain CT value,enhanced CT value at 30 s,and the decreasing rate after 90 s of administration of contrast material may be useful in differential diagnosis between PLC and IPT.

Objective To study the relationship between expression of p16 and tumor angiogenesis as well as value of CT enhancement in peripheral lung cancer. Methods twenty-three patients with peripheral lung cancer were examed with dynamic CT scan before surgery.The MVD、protein expression of VEGF and p16 were measured immunohistochemically on speciments of resected tumors.Results There were negative correlation tendency between expressions of p16 and VEGF,but the difference were no significant.During the course of delaying 30 s from injecting contrast dose,the relating coefficient was the highest between enhanced CT value and MVD,P=0.9364.The mean value of MVD and CT enhancement in the course of delaying 30 s in p16 negative expression group were higher than that in the group of p16 positive expression with no significant.Conclusion p16 negative expression may improve angiogenesis in peripheral lung cancer.

Objective To explore the efficiency of writing admissions records with the electronic medical record system. Methods 16 interns with the same educational backgrounds and residency periods were randomized into 2 groups and wrote admissions records respectively with the electronic system and by hand, the traditional method. 1 week later, the same records were again written by the two groups, now each using the other's method. The time for completing each part of the records was noted down in real time across the entire process. The time taken by the interns to complete the records was changed into marks of speed, the assessments of the records by experts were changed into marks of quality, and composite marks resulted from the two after weighting. Statistical testing was done with the two methods. Results In terms of time, the average total time taken by the electronic and traditional groups was respectively 19. 85 m and 39. 49 m; in terms of quality, the electronic group got higher marks in scores for present, past, personal, and family histories and physical examination and in the overall score; in terms of general efficiency, the electronic group got average marks of 91. 13 while the traditional group got average marks of 65. 72, the difference being statistically significant (P

Objective To evaluate the value of retrospective ECG-gated 256 slices spiral CT technique in the scanning of inferior phrenic artery (IPA).Methods 80 patients with underdone abdominal CTA were divided randomly into two groups (40 patients each)as regular abdominal CTA scanning group and retrospective ECG-gated technique group.And further analysis was done to evaluate the display of IPA branches and the image quality.Results 80 patients were all scanned successfully.40 cases LIPA and 40 cases RIPA were showed in the regular group.80 cases showed 1st level branches of IPA,73 cases with 2nd level,59 cases with 3rd and 43 ca-ses showing 4th level.40 cases LIPA and 40 cases RIPA were showed in ECG-gated group.And the numbers of IPA branches levels were 80,79,71,65,respectively.There is no significant difference in the ability of showing the1st level IPA or their image quality between those two groups (P >0.05);and there is a statistical significance in the ability of showing other levels of IPA and their im-age quality.Conclusion It is feasible that we use retrospective ECG-gated 256 slices spiral CT scanning technique to show the IPA. And it could improve the ability of showing the IPA branches as well as the image quality.

Objective To observe the effect of Tanggankang on the expression of CREB in diabetic-fatty liver rats;To investigate the mechanism of Tanggankang. Methods STZ and feeding high fat forage induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group, Huganning group, Tanggankang high dose group, Tanggankang medium dose group, Tanggankang low dose group, 10 rats in each group, with 10 normal rats as control. After 12 weeks of drug intervention, rats were killed, the livers were removed, and the expression of CREB was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with normal group, the level of CREB of model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, Tanggankang low, medium and high dose group significantly decreased the level of CREB (P<0.01). Conclusion Tanggankang may play an active role in glucose and lipid metabolism by affecting the expression of CREB.

Objective To describe the characteristic CT imaging of adenomyomatosis of gallbladder and to improve the diagnostic knowledge of the disease. Methods Eleven (5 males and 6 females, mean age = 43 years) patients with adenomyomatosis of gallbladder (4 diffuse, 2 segmental, and 5 fundal) confirmed by histopathology and performed by CT examination including plain, dynamic or multiphase enhancement and / or oral cholegraphic agent were reviewed. Results Correct diagnosis was made in 7 of 11 patients(3 diffuse, 1 segmental, and 3 fundal). CT findings included segmental or diffuse gallbladder wall thickening in the involved area, associated with well defined and regular borders at both of the inner and outer layers. Significant CT findings of this entity were marked enhancement of wall layers during triphase contrast CT scanning, especially at delayed scans. Rokitansky Aschoff sinuses were clearly shown by CT, presenting as characteristic "aureola " sign, when performed with application of a cholegraphic agent. Conclusion Understanding the CT findings and using the optimal methods, we can use CT scan as a valuable method to help make the diagnosis in most cases of adenomyomatosis.

Objective To determine the distribution profile of apocrine sweat glands in axillary region of patients with axillary osmidrosis,and to compare their distribution at different sites.Methods Fifteen patients with axillary osmidrosis were enrolled in this study from September to December 2010.All the patients underwent surgical removal of apocrine sweat glands under direct vision.Full-thickness skin tissue measuring 2 mm in width was excised down to the axillary superficial fascia at the incisional surgical sites from five patients.Five points,which were at the center of axillary region (point 1),1 cm away from the center of axillary region (point 2),1 cm inside the edge of axillary hair-bearing area (point 3),the edge of axillary hair-bearing area (point 4),and 1 cm outside the edge of axillary hair-bearing area (point 5),were marked,and dark red,rough granular subcutaneous tissue was obtained at these points in 10 patients with axillary osmidrosis.Results The secretory portion of apocrine sweat glands was mainly distributed in the reticular dennis and superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue,but no apocrine sweat glands were obs erred in the epidermis,dermal papilla or axillary superficial fascia.The distribution profile of apocrine sweat glands was consistent with that of axillary hairs.There were numerous apocrine sweat glands in the center of axillary region,but only a small number at the edge of axillary hair-bearing area,and no apocrine sweat gland was observed at 1 cm outside the edge.The percentage of apocrine sweat gland area at point 1-5 was 74.1％,46.6％,25.3％,2.1％,and 0 respectively,with significant differences between point 1 and 2 (t--29.78,P＜ 0.01),point 2 and 3 (t--9.76,P＜ 0.01),point 3 and 4 (t =20.83,P＜ 0.01),but not between point 4 and 5 (t =1.96,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions During the surgical treatment of axillary osmidrosis,the removal of apocrine sweat glands should be extended to the reticular dennis and superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue in depth and the edge of axillary hair-bearing area in width,and there is no need to blindly increase the extent of removal.
