Objective To investigate the ultrasound characteristics of microinvasive breast carcinoma (MBC),and to improve its detection rate.Methods Sixty-five MBC,85 breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)and 99 breast invasive ductal carcinoma(IDC)confirmed by pathology were divided into mass type and ductal type according to ultrasonic manifestaions,and the ultrasound characteristics were retrospectively analyzed.Results MBC showed 89.23%(58/65)mass type with 64 lesions and 10.77%(7/65)ductal type. DCIS showed 88.24% (75/85 )mass type with 78 lesions and 1 1 .76% (10/85 )ductal type.IDC group showed all mass type with 102 lesions.In MBC,most mass type lesions were solid and hypoechoic with a mean maximum diameter,which was larger than DCIS,but similar with IDC(P >0.05).More mass type lesions with irregular shape and calcification were found in MBC than in DCIS(P < 0.05 ),while similar with IDC(P >0.05).The detection rate of spiculate margin in mass type lesions of MBC was higher than DCIS(P <0.05),but lower than IDC(P <0.05).Less mass type lesions showed unclear border,high A/T ratio and hyperechoic halos in MBC than in IDC(P <0.05),but similar with DCIS(P >0.05).More ductal type lesions displayed indistinct duct wall in MBC than DCIS(P <0.05 ).Meanwhile,MBC had a higher detection rate of internal blood flow(grade 2-3)than DCIS.Conclusions There are more lesions with large diameter,irregular shape,short spiculate margin and calcification in MBC than DCIS.Compared with IDC, MBC lesions are atypical in spiculate margin,and less lesions show hyperechoic halos and high A/T ratio. To be familiar with ultrasound characteristics of MBC is significant for improving its ultrasound detection rate.

Objective:To explore the correlation among childhood trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and implicit and explicit memory in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Methods:Fifty-two OCD patients were enrolled, and the childhood trauma was investigated by using the childhood trauma questionnaire short-form(CTQ-SF). The degree of obsessive-compulsive symptoms was assessed by using the Yale-Brown obsessive symptoms scale (Y-BOCS). In addition, the abilities of implicit memory and explicit memory were tested by vocabulary perception speed tasks and vocabulary recognition tasks.According to the scores of CTQ-SF, the patients were divided into abuse group( n=26) and neglect group( n=26). SPSS 22.0 software was used for t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Results of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, implicit memory, and explicit memory showed no differences between the abuse group and the neglect group( t=-1.959-1.839, P>0.05). The scores of obsessions symptoms(12.52±4.61) were positively correlated with the total scores of CTQ-SF (40.10±10.20)( r=0.331, P<0.05). On the subscale, the scores of obsessions were positively correlated with the scores of physical abuse(7.89±3.02), sexual abuse(6.47±2.28)( r=0.373, P<0.01, r=0.356, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the scores of physical abuse and the accuracy of explicit memory(68.75±13.33)( r=-0.281, P<0.05). The scores of physical neglect(8.98±2.67) was positively correlated with implicit memory response time(4 285.94±2 067.42)( r=0.314, P<0.05). Conclusion:Obsessions in patients with OCD are related to traumatic childhood experiences, especially physical abuse and sexual abuse.Physical trauma may influence the level of implicit and explicit memory in patients with OCD.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of short-term and long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods From March 2015 to March 2016, patients with acute ischemic stroke treated at the Department of Neurology, the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were enrolled prospectively. The demographic and baseline clinical data of the patients were recorded. The modified Rankin scale(mRS)was used to assess the short-term outcomes at 14 d and one year after onset. Good outcome was defined as mRS 0-2, and poor outcome was defined as > 2. Death or new cardiocerebrovascular events were recorded.Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors of short-term and long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Results A total of 514 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 338 (65.8%) with short-term good outcome and 176 (34.2%) with poor outcome. There were significant differences in age, atrial fibrillation, history of past stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), etiological typing of stroke, baseline NIHSS score, severity of stroke, pulmonary infection, dysphagia, and urinary incontinence between the short-term good outcome group and the poor outcome group (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that history of past stroke or TIA(odds ratio[OR]2.188, 95% confidence interval[CI] 1.192-4.014;P=0.011),baseline NIHSS score(OR 1.504,95% CI 1.362-1.661;P=0.001),and urinary incontinence (OR 4.114, 95% CI 1.934-8.751; P=0.001) were the independent influencing factors of short-term outcome. A total of 467 patients completed 1-year follow-up, including 315 (67.5%)with long-term good outcome and 152(32.5%)with poor outcome.There were significant differences in age,history of ischemic heart disease, stroke or TIA, etiological typing of stroke, baseline NIHSS score, severity of stroke, pulmonary infection, dysphagia, urinary incontinence, secondary prevention of antiplatelet drugs and statins between the long-term good outcome group and the poor outcome group(all P<0.05).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR 1.029,95% CI 1.004-1.055; P=0.022), past history of stroke or TIA(OR 1.983, 95% CI 1.082-3.633; P=0.027), baseline NIHSS score (OR 1.271, 95% CI 1.153-1.400; P=0.001), urinary incontinence (OR 4.996, 95% CI 2.308-10.813; P= 0.001), and secondary prevention using antiplatelet drugs (OR 0.227, 95% CI 0.125-0.414; P=0.001) were the independent influencing factors of long-term outcome. The baseline NIHSS score (OR 1.184, 95% CI 1.070-1.310;P<0.001) and secondary prevention using antiplatelet agents (OR 0.064, 95% CI 0.014-0.284; P< 0.001) were the independent influencing factors of death or occurring vascular events. Conclusion Age, past history of stroke or TIA, baseline NIHSS score, urinary incontinence, antiplatelet drugs for secondary prevention were independently associated with the outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Early and targeted intervention of modifiable factors and the emphasis on the use of antiplatelet agents in secondary prevention might reduce stroke recurrence and improve outcomes.

Objective:To explore the relationship between comorbidity and oral health in the elderly.Methods:As a retrospective study, 852 patients hospitalized at the Department of Geriatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between July 2017 and July 2018 were selected, including 380 male and 472 female patients, with 274 between 60 and 74 years old, 519 between 75 and 89 years old and 59 ≥90 years old.Patients' clinical data and records on the Chinese version of the Kayser-Jones Brief Oral Health Status Examination(BOHSE)were retrospectively collected.The cumulative illness rating scale(CIRS)and the Chinese version of the BOHSE scale were calculated.The distribution of oral health problems measured using indicators in the Chinese version of the BOHSE scale was compared between the comorbidity group and the non-comorbidity group.The relationship between the CIRS score and oral health was analyzed by multiple linear regression.Results:Of the 808 patients with comorbidities, each patient had(3.63±1.33), (4.26±1.64)and(5.14±1.90)diseases, respectively, in the 60-74, 75-89 and ≥90 age groups( F=35.555, P<0.01). The age groups' CIRS scores were(8.88±3.59), (11.67±4.32)and(13.64±4.42)( F=51.532, P<0.01). The incidence of oral problems in hospitalized elderly patients was 92.72 %(790/852). The average oral health BOHSE score was(4.58 ± 2.88). There was a significant difference in oral health condition among the 60-74, 75-89 and ≥90 age groups( F=19.370, P<0.05). There were also significant differences in gums between teeth and/or under artificial teeth, condition of natural teeth and condition of artificial teeth between hospitalized elderly patients with and without comorbidities(all P<0.05). CIRS scores of patients with comorbidities were correlated with scores of natural tooth condition and pairs of teeth in the chewing position(natural or artificial)( t values were 2.565 and 2.495, P<0.05 for both). Conclusions:The comorbidity rate of hospitalized elderly patients is high and their oral health problems are common.As the age increases, the number of comorbidities increases and oral health condition becomes worse.The natural tooth condition and pairs of teeth in the chewing position(natural or artificial)are related to the severity of comorbidities in the elderly.
