Game relationship of mutual restriction and mutual connection exist among various segments of Chinese medicine decoction pieces supply chain. Any problems in any segments will affect quality and safety of the whole supply chain, and ultimately affect the safety of consumers. Based on the theory of supply chain, this article established a linear supply chain and static game model, including planting farmers, production and marketing society, processors of Chinese medicine decoction pieces, terminal consumers and middle sales section whichis made up of whole sale and retail markets and manufacturing enterprises of Chinese patent medicine. This article also proposed the suggestions about quality safety of Chinese medicine decoction pieces through quantitative methods in game theory.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and neuroimaging features of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) of the central nervous system and the survival prognosis in different locations.Methods:The clinical data of 27 patients with AT/RT confirmed by biopsy or postoperative pathology in Sanbo Brain Hospital of Capital Medical University from October 2012 to September 2020 were collected, including 17 males and 10 females, aged (7.6±10.0) years, ranging from 0.2 to 39.0 years old.The clinical features and the results of the first preoperative imaging examination were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into supratentorial, infratentorial and trans supratentorial and infratentorial groups according to the location.The survival time of the three groups was compared by Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:All patients presented with headache, including 12 cases with vomiting.There were 12 cases of supratentorial, 10 cases of infratentorial and 5 cases of supratentorial and infratentorial.There were 20 cases of cystic degeneration, 7 cases of calcification, 6 cases of hemorrhage and 13 cases of peritumoral edema.The median survival time of patients with infratentorial AT/RT was longer than that of patients with supratentorial and transtentorial AT/RT (χ 2=7.353, P=0.025). Conclusion:Central nervous system AT/RT is easy to occur in young children, and the survival time of AT/RT patients is longer.
5.Minimally Invasive Perventricular Device Closure of Ventricular Septal Defect:a Comparative Study in 80 Patients
Chinese Medical Sciences Journal 2014;(2):98-102
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive perventricular device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD).
Methods Between September 2011 and February 2013, we collected 40 patients who underwent perventricular closure via a small lower sternal incision (minimally invasive group), aged 15.5±3.5 years (12 months to 32 years) with a body weight of 24.2±7.5 kg (10.8-58.0 kg). The mean size of VSD was 5.6±0.5 mm (2-14 mm). Another 40 patients were included as the surgical group, receiving the conventional surgical repair of VSD. The device of the minimally invasive group was released under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography. Success rate, cardiac indicators, and clinical outcomes of the 2 groups were compared.
Results The patients in the surgical group and those in the minimally invasive group showed similar results in success rate (both 97.5%). The procedure time, intensive care unit stay, hospital stay, and postoperative recovery time in the minimally invasive group were significantly shorter than those in the surgical group (58±21 minutes versus 145±26 minutes, 2±1 days versus 8±3 days, 5±1 days versus 16±6 days, 3±1 days versus 90±20 days, all P<0.05). The minimally invasive group had a higher incidence of conduction anomalies (17.5%versus 2.5%, P<0.05). In the follow-up period of 3-12 months, there was no new residual shunt, noticeable aortic regurgitation, significant arrhythmias, or device failure except for new complications in the surgical group.
Conclusions The success rate of minimally invasive perventricular device closure of VSD under transesophageal echocardiography guidance is similar to that of conventional surgical repair, but the short-term outcomes of the minimally invasive approach is much better. Long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of this technique.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of setting mAs in liver enhanced CT scan according to plain scan noise with fixed mA CT scanner,in order to reduce the radiation dose.Methods One hundred continuous patients underwent liver enhanced CT scan (group A) prospectively.Two hundred and fifty mAs was used in plain and enhanced CT scans.Noises of plain and venous phase CT images were measured,and the image quality was evaluated.The equation between mAs of enhanced scan and noise of plain scan image was derived.Another 100 continuous patients underwent liver enhanced CT scan (group B).Enhanced scan mAs was calculated from noise on plain scan by using the equation above.Noises on venous phase images were measured and the image quality was measured.Based on body mass index (BMI),patients in groups A and B were divided into three subgroups respectively:BMI < 18.5 kg/m2,18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 25.0 kg/m2 and BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2.Image quality score was compared with nonparametric rank sum test,CT dose index (CTDI) and effective dose (ED) were measured and compared between each subgroup with 2 independent samples t or t' test.Results The equation between enhanced scan mAs (mAsX) and plain scan noise (SDp) was as follows:mAsX =mAs1 × [(0.989 × SDp + 1.06) /SDx]2,mAs1 =250 mAs,SDx =13.In patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2,ED of group A [(6.86 ±0.38) mSv,n =12] was significantly higher than group B [(2.66 ±0.46) mSv,n =10)] (t =18.52,P <0.01).In patients with 18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 25.0 kg/m2,ED of group A [(7.08 ± 0.91) mSy,n =66] was significantly higher than group B [(4.50 ± 1.41) mSv,n =73] (t' =10.57,P < 0.01).In patients with BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2,there was no significant difference between EDs of group A (7.54 ± 0.62 mSv,n =22) and group B [(8.19 ±3.16) mSv,n =17] (t' =0.89,P =0.39).Image quality of 5 patients in group A and none in group B did not meet the diagnostic requirement.Conclusion Setting mAs of enhanced scan according to plain scan noise could reduce the radiation dose with maintainence of image quality.

Objective To explore the application value of 64-slice spiral CT cardiac enhancement scanning in the morphological as-sessment of left atrial appendage(LAA).Methods Patients were selected retrospectively between April 16,2013 and May 1,2013, including 142 patients with sinus rhythms underwent MDCT coronary angiography,25 patients with atrial fibrillation underwent MDCT pulmonary vein-left atrial angiography.All images were post-processed,datas were measured and the morphology of left at-rial appendage were classified into different types.Results 167 patients were enrolled,including 88 males and 79 femals,age 53.7± 8.9 years.Anatomical relationship of the orifice of left atrial appendage to left superior pulmonary vein(LSPV)were classified as high type (superior to LSPV,2.4%),middle type(parallel to LSPV,86.2%),low type(inferior to LSPV,11.4%).LAA orifice could be classified into three types including oval(162,97%),round-like(3,1.8%)and drop-like(2,1.2%).LAA morphology could be classified in four types including Cauliflower(35,21%),Windsock(41,24.6%),Cactus(7,4.2%),Chicken-wing(84, 50.3%).Patients with atrial fibrillation have a larger LAA volume than who with sinus rhythm.Conclusion 64-slice spiral CT car-diac enhancement scanning can provide a vivid and intuitive reference to the anatomy of LAA and its adjacent structures,and it can also provide quantitative evaluation of LAA anatomical parameters,so it may have a nice significance in the direction of LAA occlu-sion.

Objective To investigate the value of endovascular surgery for the treatment of thromboangitis obliterans (TAO). Methods Sixteen patients (18 limbs) with thromboangitis obliterans were treated by percutaneous transluminal plasty (PTA). Results Angiographic success on the limb basis was achieved in 15 of 18 treated limbs and the initial technical success rate was 83.34%. Doppler anklebrachial index (ABI) increased from 0.33±0.16 to 0.79±0.23 one week after PTA. The follow-up time was 2~24 months, the average time was 10.84 months. The 3-month, 12-month accumulated primary patency rate were 81.33% and 60. 23% respectively. Conclusion PTA is effective primary invasive treatment for thromboangitis obliterans yielding acceptable primary clinical success with a low complication rate and resulting in moderate long-term clinical patency and a high limb salvage rate.
