Objective To assess radiation dose and image quality of chest CT examinations that acquired with Flash scan technique combined with iterative reconstruction.Methods Thirty continuous patients required no-contrast chest CT with Flash scan mode and contrast enhanced chest CT with conventional CT scan mode.For each examination,the images were reconstructed by filter back projection (FBP) and sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction (SAFIRE).The volume CT dose index (CTDIvol),dose-length product (DLP),and effective dose (ED) were estimated.The image noise,signal to noise ratio (SNR),overall subjective image quality,and respiratory motion artifacts were evaluated blindly by two radiologists.Results For Flash scan and conventional scan,SAFIRE reduced the image noise 35％ and 16％,respectively;and increased SNR 21.9％ and 25％ compared to FBP,respectively (P ＜0.05).There was significant lower subjective image scores acquired by SAFIRE than by FBP.Flash scan reduced the CTDIvol (mGy) 40.9％,DLP 32.1％,and ED 26.9％ compared to conventional CT scan mode.The motion artifact scores were reduced significantly with Flash scan mode compared to conventional scan mode.Conclusions Flash scan technique of the chest can obtain image with minimum respiratory motion artifact due to dramatically increased scan speed,and when SAFIRE was combined with,it reduces significantly radiation dose and image noise.

Objective To investigate the effect of mindfulness on anxiety and depression of gynecological oncology patients.Methods Using objective methods,80 patients with gynecological oncology were divided to the usual care group and mindfulness training group according to random number table,40 cases in each group.The self -rated anxiety scale and self -rated depression scale were used to compare the effects at three times.Results There were 3 patients lost and 77 patients were analyzed finally.The ANOVA showed that there were significant differences on anxiety and depression scores of SAS (F =4.614,P =0.035) and SDS (F =4.070,P =0.044) between the two groups,and the scores of SAS (F =15.115,P <0.001) and SDS (F =7.034,P =0.002) had interaction effects. Conclusion Mindfulness can adjust the psychology state of gynecological oncology patients and decreased the level of anxiety and depression.

Objective:To evaluate the utilization of Kanglaite injections in lung cancer patients in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang and analyze the prescription data. Methods: Totally 40-day prescription data of the patients with lung cancer in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang were withdrawn every year from 2009 to 2013. The data in respect of the consumption sum, DDDs, department distribution and medical insurance category of Kanglaite injections were analyzed. Results: The consumption sum of Kanglaite injections used in the patients with lung cancer in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang showed an upward trend year by year, the growth in 2011 and 2012 was the fastest, and the sum in 2012 was 1. 77-fold of that in 2009. The consumption sum proportion of Kanglaite injections in total amount of drug consumption rose after the first drop. The top 3 departments were oncology, radiotherapy and thoracic surgery in the five years. The dosage and DDDs of Kanglaite injections were also in an increase trend year by year, and the growth in 2011 and 2012 was the fastest. Conclusion:The utilization of Kanglaite injections in the patients with lung cancer in Zhejiang area shows a continuous rapid growth momentum, therefore, it is still essential to strengthen the reasonable application in clinics.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of pancreas damage in children with Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura (HSP).Methods The clinical data of 206 HSP patients was analyzed from February 2008 to July 2013.The serum and urine example was detected by the automatic biochemical analyzer and the clinical characteristics of them was analyzed.The pancreatic morphology of patients was observed by type-B ultrasonic,and the clinical feature of skin,joints,digestive tract and kidney damage were observed.The relationship between pancreas damage and other systems damage was analyzed.Results There was 58 cases suffering from pancreas damage in 206 HSP children:31 cases were male,27 cases were female.There was no patients with pancreatic edema and deformation of structure in 58 patients.The incidence of pancreas damage with HSP combined with abdominalgia patients was 39.7％ (50/126),which was obviously higher than that in the patients without abdominalgia 10.0％ (8/80) (x2 =14.355,P ＜ 0.01).The incidence of pancreas damage in mixed type of HSP [31.8 ％ (55/173)] was significantly higher than that in simple type of HSP [9.1％ (3/33)] (x2 =18.292,P ＜ 0.01).The mean hospital stay of the HSP patients with pancreas damage was 6-38 (10.39± 6.80) d,while without pancreas damage was 4-18 (8.51 ± 3.42) d,and there was no significant difference (t =5.790,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The HSP children usually combine with pancreas damage.If they have abdominalgia and multi-system damage,they are more likely to be accompanied with pancreas damage,which should be paid more attention.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage introduced by bedside ordinary-probe-guidance with free-hand technique in severe cholecystitis. Methods 85 cases treated with the operation were observed and analyzed. Results Infectious bile was successfully drained in all cases without serious complications. 83 cases received satisfactory outcomes. 2 elderly patients died from MODS secondary severe infection. Conclusion Bedside ordinary-probe-guided free-hand percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage is a safe and convenient treatment with minimal invasion for severe cholecystitis, which can be widely used in clinic.

Objective To investigate related factors of hypersensitivity reactions in patients undergoing paclitaxel chemotherapy for cervical cancer and provide measures for prevention of the side effects.Methods A ret-rospective survey was taken to analyze the clinical data from 186 cervical cancer patients who accepted paclitaxel chemotherapy from January 2013 to December 2014.SPSS 17.0 was used for single factor analysis and multi -factor logistic regression analysis.Results Among the 186 cervical cancer patients enrolled in this study,34 cases occurred hypersensitivity reactions.The incidence rate of anaphylaxis was 18.3%.Both eosinophil count of more than 0.2 × 109 /L(χ2 =4.171,P <0.05)and history of drug allergy(χ2 =10.667,P <0.01)were not merely risk factors of anaphylaxis,but also independent risk factors(OR =4.691,2.257,all P <0.01 ).Conclusion The incidence of hypersensitivity after paclitaxel chemotherapy in cervical cancer patients is high.Eosinophil count ≥ 0.2 ×109 /L before chemotherapy and history of drug allergy are not merely risk factors of anaphylaxis,but also independent risk factors,which require more attention.

Objective To investigate the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)characteristics and the correlation of diffusion coeffi-cient (ADC)and differentiation grade of rectal tubular adenocarcinoma.Methods The DWI characteristics of thirty-eight patients pathologically comfirmed rectal tubular adenocarcinomas were evaluated respectively.There were 9 highly differentiated tubular ade-nocarcinomas,1 5 moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinomas and 14 poorly differentiated tubular adenocarcinomas.The ADC value was calculated from two different factors (0 and 1 000 s/mm2 ).The correlation between ADC value and the differentiated de-gree of tumour was statistically analysed.Results The mean ADC for highly differentiated group was (0.92±0.05)×10 -3 mm2/s, and the mean ADC for moderately differentiated group was (0.79 ± 0.10)× 10 -3 mm2/s whereas that for poorly differentiated group was (0.71±0.06)×10 -3 mm2/s.The difference among three groups was statistically significant(P <0.05).The ADC value and the differentiated degree of tumour were negatively correlated(Spearman r =-0.704)P<0.01.Conclusion DWI and ADC value can be a useful estimating for the differentiation of rectal tubular adenocarcinoma.
