Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2010;26(3):517-520
Objective To study the half quantitative diagnostic method of the high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) with analyzing the characteristic of high-risk and lower risk GISTs with multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT). Methods CT findings of 46 patients with 51 GIST lesions were retrospectively analyzed. The location, size, shape, boundary, growth pattern and other specialties of the tumors in high-risk and lower risk GISTs were studied, moreover statistical analysis was conducted, logistic regression equation was obtained. Results Significant difference was found in tumors' location, size, shape, boundary and distant metastasis between the two types of GISTs. There were obvious correlation between the risk level and tumors' size and boundary which could be used to build the diagnostic equation of high-risk GISTs. Conclusion The equation ln [P/(1-P)]=-2.612X_3+0.371X_5 (X_3:tumors' boundary, X_5:tumors' size) is valuable in the diagnosis of high-risk GISTs.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2013;34(11):1194-1199
Objective To study the expression of P63 in 76 patients with thymic epithelial tumors (TET, including thymomas and thymic carcinomas) and its role in pathological diagnosis of TET based on World Health Organization classification. Methods Immunohistochemistry (SP method) was used to detect P63 expression in 76 different subtypes of TET tissues. The initial diagnostic results, further diagnosis results and diagnostic results considering P63 expression were analyzed and compared. Results The further diagnosis results identified 9 cases of misdiagnosis (mainly AB and B subtypes) and 3 uncertain cases. Different degrees of P63 expression (located in the nuclei) was observed in 72 cases, and different subtypes had different expression patterns. The diagnostic results considering P63 expression were more accurate than those not considering P63 expression (TET, P = 0. 017 and thymoma, P = 0. 032, respectively). Detection of P63 expression helped to confirm the diagnosis of the 3 uncertain cases according to the further diagnosis results. Conclusion Considering that P63 expression can help to better differentiate the subtypes of thymoma, it should be used as a routine marker for clinical diagnosis, especially for AB and B subtype thymoma.

BACKGROUND:In the treatment of tibial plateau fractures, because of the variety of fracture, the complexity of anatomical changes, X-ray films or three-dimensional CT scan limited by two-dimensional plane, increases the difficulty in preoperative plan and surgical treatment. The application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has attracted attention in the department of orthopedics. OBJECTIVE:To explore the auxiliary role of 3D printing technique in preoperative plan and treatment for tibial plateau fractures. METHODS:Thirty patients with tibial plateau comminuted fractures were enroled in this study and divided into two groups: experimental and control groups, with 15 patients in each group. In the experimental group, patients underwent 3D CT scan, which was stored in DICOM format, and processed by Mimics software. Data were converted into STL format, entered 3D printer, and a 1:1 entity size of the fracture model was made, in accordance with repair plan of 3D fracture model. Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were compared between the two groups. At 12 months after treatment, their outcomes were assessed using Rasmussen evaluation criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 3D printing fracture models of 1:1 ratio identified fracture type and made a repair program before surgery in the experimental group. Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). After surgery, patients were folowed up for 12 to 18 months. The healing time was 3-5 months, averagely 4.3 months. At 12 months after treatment, the Rasmussen evaluation criteria results showed that the excelent and good rate was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the fracture model of 3D can help to make the operation plan. The treatment of tibial plateau fractures is more precise, personalized and visual.

Objective To explore the effect of wash pipe frequency on complications of double-lumen power peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) connected to infusion pump during continuous chemotherapy. Methods A total of 160 patients with malignant lymphoma whose PICC connected to infusion pump were divided into 4 groups by random digits table method with 40 cases each: flushing and sealing the tube once every 4 hours(group A), every 8 hours(group B), every 12 hours(group C) and every 24 hours (group D). The incidence of blocking pipe and phlebitis were observed. Results The incidence of blocking pipe were 0,2.5%(1/40) , 27.5%(11/40), 42.5%(17/40) in group A, B, C, D, the differences among them were significant, χ2= 30.870, P<0.01. There was no significant difference in the incidence of phlebitis among 4 groups, P>0.05. Conclusions Flushing and sealing the tube of PICC connected to infusion pump once every 8 hours during continuous chemotherapy seems to be appropriate and worthy of being applied clinically due to its low blocking pipe incidence, and low incidence of phlebitis.
