Cancer Research and Clinic 2011;23(1):11-13
Objective To compare the results of three phase bone scans between benign and malignant lesions, and explore its clinical value. Methods Patients with pain symptom underwent three phase bone scan. Their corresponding clinical data was collected and input into SPSS software package for further evaluation. Results Forty-nine patients had 73 positive foci in the acquiring field of vascular and blood pool phase bone scans. Excluding 10 foci that suspected of bone metastasis, 37 of 63 were malignant,26 were benign lesion. On vascular, blood pool and delayed images, benign and malignant foci did not exist any significant difference (χ2 =3.341, 1.685 and 2.923, P >0.05). In these lesions, 33.3 % (5/15) foci had positive vascular and blood pool results in thoracic, 72.2 % (13/18) in extremity and 75.0 % (18/24) in pelvic.There were no significant difference among subgroup of chest, abdomen, limb and pelvic diseases. In addition,4 foci outside bone system were occasionally found in three phase bone scans. Conclusion Acquiring position could significantly affect the results of three phase bone scan, for example more sensitive rate can be found for limb and pelvis lesions. This method could not significantly differentiate malignant from benign lesions, but could detect soft tissue foci or the change of blood flow, and provide more information for differential diagnosis.

Objective:To assess the accuracy of the portable blood glucose meters. Methods:The study design was equivalent clinical trial. The participants were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria from inpatients, outpatients and outpatient volunteers of the department of endocrinology. The fingertip blood glucose was measured by five portable blood glucose meters and compared with vein blood glucose measured by biochemistry. The measurement error was assessed by the mean difference with biochemical results. The correlation coefficient was calculated to test the correlation between fingertip and vein blood glucose. Results:there were 230 cases in total including 86 males and 144females. The average age was (50.6±13.5) years old. There were 73 fasting blood glucose and 157 postprandial blood glucose. The range of biochemical blood glucose value was from 2.19 to 19.95 mmol/L and the averaged biochemical blood glucose concentration was (6.77±2.65) mmol/L. The minimum measurement error was 0.08mmol/L measured by blood glucose meter C. However, there was one meter E whose 95%confidence interval of measurement error exceeds the equivalent interval (-0.83, 0.83) mmol/L range and the difference does not meet the clinical equivalence. The measurement bias was all lower than 95%. Conclusion:The blood glucose meters can be used as the day-to-day monitoring of blood glucose in patients. The accuracy needs to be improved and continuously monitored.

Objective To establish z-score model for fetal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(FAM-TAPSE) and mitral annular plane systolic excursion(FAM-MAPSE) based on gestational age(GA),then to evaluate the ventricle systolic function of fetus with heart failure.Methods One thousand and twelve normal fetuses and 24 fetuses with heart failure were involved. FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE were measured by free angle M-mode echocardiography,and FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE z-score models of normal fetuses were constructed by using first standard regression analysis with GA as independent variable.The fetuses with heart failure were divided into left heart failure (LHF) group and right heart failure (RHF) group by Tei index.Subsequently,the two parameters between normal and fetuses with heart failure were compared. Results The models used to calculate z-score for FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE were constructed,and GA had close correlation with them. Compared with normal fetuses,the mean z-scores of FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE were statistically different in fetuses with heart failure(P<0.001). The FAM-MAPSE z-scores of LHF and the FAM-TAPSE z-scores of RHF were all less than-2 z-scores.Conclusions The FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE z-scores decline in fetuses with heart failure and they can provide quantitative evidence in evaluation of heart systolic function,FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE z-score would be markers for assessing heart systolic function in fetuses with heart failure.

Objective To obtain the annular plane systolic excursion difference (APSED)of fetuses in second and late trimester by free angle M-mode (FAM)and tissue motion of annular displacement (TMAD)in order to assess the fetal ventricular function.Methods The mitral annular plane systolic excursion(MAPSE)and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE)of four hundred and fifty five normal fetuses from 20 to 41 weeks were measured by FAM echocardiography,and the difference between them were calculated.Early diastolic velocities (Em)of the mitral annular and early diastolic velocities (Em')of the tricuspid annular were estimated by pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging (TDI),meanwhile systolic velocities (Sm)of the mitral annular and systolic velocities (Sm')of the tricuspid annular were also estimated by TDI.Fifty normal fetuses in the second and late trimester were choosed randomly,two-dimension imaging was obtained at the apical four-chamber view,then mitral annular plane and tricuspid annular plane displacement curve were acquired at the same time by using off-line QLab 8.1 software,and the differences in the peak time between them were compared.The trace of annular displacement were recorded by color tissue tracking technology.Results There was a significant difference between FAM-TAPSE and FAM-MAPSE in different gestational weeks (P <0.05),FAM-TAPSE was growing with the increase of gestational weeks,FAM-APSED showed significant positive correlations with gestational week, Em,Sm,Em' and Sm'.Annular plane displacement curve showed that TMAD-TAPSE was higher than TMAD-MAPSE in the entire cardiac cycle,and there was no statistically significant difference in time to peak of the annular plane displacement curve between them(P >0.05).Conclusions The APSED existed in the second and late trimester continually.It was considering associated with fetal ventricular torsion.As the growth of gestational weeks,the increase of APSED reflected the enhanced reserve capacity of the fetal ventricular torsion.APSED can reflect the longitudinal motion and torsion movement of fetal ventricle quantitatively,and can be used as a new index to assess the fetal cardiac function.
