1.Malignant transformation in monostotic fibrous dysplasia:clinical and imaging features
Journal of Practical Radiology 2015;(6):969-973
Objective To investigate clinical and imaging features of malignant transformation in monostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD).Methods Radiography (n=12),computed tomography (CT)(n=7)and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)(n=5)data of 12 monostotic FD cases proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Results Among 12 cases,6 cases underwent surgery.Their images showed osteolytic lesions in the operative area with direct signs of aggressiveness (poorly defined margin,cor-tical destruction and soft tissue mass).For the 6 cases without surgery,radiography and CT showed poorly margin,osteolytic le-sions within or near the area of ground-glass opacity.MRI showed lesions with heterogeneous signal intensity and pronounced con-trast-enhancement.Histopathologically,9 cases were osteosarcomas,2 cases were fibrosarcomas,and 1 case was malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH).Conclusion The imaging information of malignant transformation of FD can provide evidence of possible ma-lignancy.

Objective To explore the clinical presentation,etiology of sepsis,common positions of in-fection and anti-infectious treatment of pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia resistance to carbapenem. Meth-ods A retrospective chart review of all pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia cases of Beijing Children 's Hospital from December 2011 to September 2015 were analyzed. All cases were selected based on the clinical presentation,at least one Gram-negative bacteria positive result of blood culture and were resistant to carbapen-em. The basic clinical characteristics and the results of blood culture and antimicrobial susceptibilities were ana-lyzed. Results All 45 cases with fever,among them 8 cases under went continued fever,The other 37 cases fe-ver days were ( 6. 1 ± 5. 2 ) d. Twenty-six cases had agranulocytosis. Agranulocytosis time from 2 to 79 days, mean days(15. 2 ± 16. 2)d. Significant difference of fever time between agranulocytosis team and non-agranulo-cytosis team was significant(P=0. 011). Twenty-three cases had infection positions among 45 cases. Lung,di-gestive tract,mouth and crissum were the common positions of infection. The quantum of blood culture samples were 711 parts. There were 162 parts resistant to carbapenems. The primary pathogens were pseudomonas aerugi-nosa,klebsiella pneumoniae, enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli. Among those 45 cases, 36 cases were cured,9 cases were ineffective treatment. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella pneumoniae, enter-robacter cloacae and Escherichia coli accounted for the most of G-bacteria infections resistant to carbapenem in our center. The incidence of septicemia was related to the level of granulocyte and duration of agranulocytosis.

Objective To measure hepatic ultrasonic integrated backscatter (IBS) in healthy rabbits as a non-invasive quantitative diagnostic means for hepatic steatosis, hepatic fibrosis, and liver cirrhosis; to determine the factors that may influence the IBS measurement. Methods Thirty-five healthy New Zealand white rabbits with normal liver function tests and normal liver biopsies were used in this study. HP Sonos 5500 image system with quantitative analysis function was used for IBS measurement. With the machine setting fixed, and optimal image obtained, left and right liver were divided into near, medial and far areas according to the depth. Further the measurements of IBS in different depth were performed respectively. Meanwhile, in the same liver the IBS image was collected and the change of IBS intensity was measured in various setting of machine index (MI), time gain compensation (TGC) and lateral gain compensation (LGC). Results Average image intensity (AII) of left liver (from near to far areas) was ( 25.38? 2.36)dB, ( 26.32? 2.38)dB, and ( 26.45? 2.28)dB, respectively. The AII of the right liver (from near to far areas) was ( 24.99? 2.23)dB, ( 24.92? 2.59)dB, and ( 25.38? 2.36)dB, respectively. The average standardized AII of image in left livers was significantly higher than that of the right (P

· AlM:To investigate the effect of compound anisodine on fundus blood circulation after vitrectomy with face-down position.
· METHODS: Sixty patients ( 60 eyes ) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment received vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade operation, who were randomized divided into treatment group ( 30 eyes ) and control group ( 30 eyes ) .The patients in the treatment group received the subcutaneously injection of compound anisodine hydrobromide by the superficial temporal artery once daily for 14d since postoperative first day.Retinal microcirculation blood flow parameters were recorded with Heidelberg retinal flowmeter postoperative 1d, 1 and 2wk, and were compared between two groups.
·RESULTS: The blood flow parameters ( Vol, Flw, Vel) of control group postoperative 1 and 2wk were significantly less than those postoperative 1d.Otherwise the parameters of treatment postoperative 1 and 2wk were significantly more than those postoperative 1d. The parameters between two groups were significant different ( P<0.01) .
· CONCLUSlON: Facing down after vitrectomy with
silicone oil tamponade may reduce retinal blood supply, consequently lead to retinal ischemia; compound anisodine can effectively improve the retinal and choroidal microcirculation after vitrectomy with face-down posture, reduce retinal ischemia, and enhance the visual function.
