Objective To investigate CT features of solitary fibrous tumor of the mediastinum(SFTM),and to analyze the causes of misdiagnosis of this disease.Methods CT features of 5 patients of SFTM confirmed operatively and pathologically were retrospec-tively analyzed.All patients underwent before operation but were misdiagnosed.Results 3 cases were located in right mediastinum with oval-shap,well-defined margin,and “pleural tail sign”,2 cases were located in right thoracis cavity with unwell-defined margin, and in the adjacent lung were oppressed.In all 5 patients,the mean median of tumors was 1 1.5 cm(8.6-1 5 cm),non-homogeneous density of tumors were seen on plain CT scans,and obvious non-homogeneous enhancement with“geographic pattern”on contrast-en-hanced CT.Conclusion CT can clearly reveal the size and the appearance of SFTM,adjacent architectures,the final diagnosis de-pends on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of the tumors.To un-know is the main caused of misdiagnosis of medi-astinal SFT.

Objective: To study the rational treatment course of proton pump inhibitor omeprazole for critical patients in order to improve the prognosis and reduce the hospital stay and treatment expense. Methods:Totally 180 critical patients with APACHEⅡ>10 and mechanical ventilation >48 hours in ICU were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups treated by omeprazole for 1 day, 3 days and 5 days , respectively. The incidence rate of stress ulcer, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and ventilator-associated pneumonia ( VAP) in the three groups was studied, and the ICU stay and expense were also investigated. Results:The incidence rate of stress ul-cer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage in the group with treatment course of 3 days and 5 days were significantly lower than those in the group with 1 day treatment(P<0. 05). The incidence rate of VAP with 3-days treatment was the lowest, compared with 1 day and 5 days treatment, the different was satatistically significant(P<0. 05). The ICU hospitalization time and treatment expense were also significantly different among the three groups, and that in 3-days, group was the lowest(P<0. 05). Conclusion:The 3-day treatment is the most reasonable, which can not only prevent stress ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding in critical patients, but also reduce the in-cidence of VAP with lowered hospital stay and expense.

Objective To study the impact of the resolution of reference dose distribution and evaluated dose distribution to Gamma rate in the verification of IMRT. Methods Designed four fields, the resolution of dose distribution calculated in water phantom and exported from TPS are 1 ,2,3 ,4,5,6 mm. To calculate Gamma index by IBA's OmniPro-I'mRT software in different sampling resolution. Results When the resolution of evaluated dose distribution was fixed, the change of reference dose distribution's resolution has little effect on Gamma rate (5% to IMRT field) ;When the resolution of reference dose distribution was fixed , the Gamma rate increased as the evaluated dose distribution's resolution ( > 1 mm) raise ( the Gamma rate increase ( 15. 2 ±6. 2) % ( t = 11. 99 ,P < 0. 01 ) and ( 14. 9 ± 5. 5) % ( t = 13. 24 , P < 0. 01 ) while the resolution of evaluated dose distribution changed from 6 mm t0 3 mm and from 3 mm to 1 mm respectively) .Conclusions To use Camma method for verification of IMRT, the measured data can be as a reference dose distribution without interpolation;the computed data by TPS can be as a evaluated dose distribution and it is more appropriate for the resolution of 1 mm.

Objective: To establish a curve of dosage gradient-liver signal intensity of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) in normal rats and to find an appropriate dose for enhancement. Methods: Seventy-two SD rats, 4 rats a group at random, underwent MR enhancement with 0, 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 140, 210, 280 μmol/kg SPIO respectively after plane examination. The signal-to-noise ratio of liver was measured and a curve of dosage gradient-liver signal intensity was made. Results: (1)With the increase of SPIO dose, the signal intensity of both T1 and T2 weighted images of liver declined. (2)T2 weighted images was more sensitive than T1 weighted images in small dose, the ED50 of T1 weighted was 8 μmol/kg, and the ED50 of T2 weighted was 5 μmol/kg. (3)When the dose was greater than 15 μmol/kg, the signal intensity of T1 weighted images declined more rapidly than T2 weighted, the effect of enhanced T1 weighted images resembled T2 weighted ones, and its images was with more fine resolution. (4)At the dose of 40 μmol/kg, the signal intensity of T1 weighted images approached the background noise, and at the dose of 15 μmol/kg, the signal intensity of T2 weighted images approached the background noise. Conclusion: Good effect of T1 and T2 enhanced MR imaging can be acquired at the dose of 20-10 μmol/kg SPIO respectively, the best contrast-to-noise ratio is found on T2 weighted enhanced MR image.

Objective To evaluate the association between B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and hepatitis B virus (HBV).Methods The positive rates of HBV markers in 284 patients of B-cell NHL who were admitted to our department between January 2003 and December 2009 were investigated.The positive rates of HBV markers in colorectal cancer patients were used as controls.Results The HBsAg-positive rates of patients aged 18~ 39 and stage m/Ⅳ patients were 42.6 % (26/61) and 37.0 % (50/135),which was higher than other groups.The x2 value and P value were 7.573 and 6.874,0.023 and 0.009,respectively.Compared with the control group, the B-cell NHL had significantly higher prevalence of positive HBsAg and positive HBeAg (29.6 % vs 14.5 %,6.7 % vs 0.8 % ).The Wald values were 25.174 and 20.496,respectively.Both of the P value were <0.001 and lower prevalence of positive anti-HBs (45.4 % vs 58.0 %,Wald =11.062,P =0.001).The coexpression of HBsAg, HBeAg and anti-HBc was higher in the B-NHL group than in the control group (6.0 % vs 0.8 %,x2 =31.619,P <0.001).Similarly,the coexpression of HBsAg,anti-HBe,and anti-HBc was higher in the B-NHL group (16.2 % vs 11.5 %,x2 =4.542,P =0.033).Significantly higher rate of positive anti-HBc and negative anti-HBs was observed in the B-NHL group (37.0 % vs 24.5 %,Wald =17.708,P < 0.001),whereas the same group showed a lower rate of negative anti-HBs compared with the control group (20.8 % vs 27.8 %, Wald =5.646, P =0.017).Conclusion This finding of a positive association between HBV infection and B-NHL suggests that HBV may play an etiologic role in the induction of B-NHL.
