Objective To explore the value of virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) elastography and its influencing factors in identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 210 cases of 240 thyroid nodules.Their images,including 2D ultrasound,color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and VTQ elastography,were reviewed,and the scanning view,the maximum diameter of the nodule,inside blood flow,calcifications and its depth beneath the skin were recorded.The value of shear wave velocity(SWV) in identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules was calculated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The influences of the maximum diameter of the nodules,calcifications,internal blood flow,the depth beneath skin and scanning views as well as type of pathology on the value of SWV were analyzed using multiple linear regressions (MLR).Results The sensitivity and specificity of VTQ in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules was 74.8％ and 73.4％,respectively,and the area under ROC curve was 0.799.MLR indicated that the maximum diameter of the nodule,the type of pathology and internal blood flow were correlated with the SWV value (P ＜0.05),of which,the type of pathology was the important factor (standardized coefficient was-0.312).Microcalcifications,the depth of the nodules located and the scanning surface were not significantly related to SWV value (P ＞0.05).Conclusions VTQ can quantitatively provide the information on the hardness of thyroid tissue,which is of a definite value in the differential diagnosis of the nodules.The pathology of the nodule,its internal blood flow and maximum diameter are the factors that affect the value of SWV,and not its depth,scanning views and microcalcifications.

AIM:To investigate the anti-tumor effects of special cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTLs)activated by dendritic cells(DCs)loaded with antigens and CD40L in vitro.METHODS:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation from normal human heparinized blood.The adherent cells were cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF),interleukin-4(IL-4),alpha tumor necrosis factor(TNF-?),DCs were co-cultured with frozen-thawed antigen of K562 cells and CD40L,then triggered T cells into specific CTLs.RESULTS:Most suspended cells exhibited distinctive morphological features of DCs which expressed CD40 96%,CD86 97%,CD80 77%,CD1a 69%,and gained the powerful capacity to stimulate proliferation of allogenic lymphocytes.Under the effector∶target ratio of 20∶1,CTLs derived from cultures with DCs and frozen-thawed antigen of K562 cells were showed 71.3% cytotoxicities against K562 cells.CTLs derived from cultures with DCs loaded with frozen-thawed antigen and CD40L were showed 86.9% cytotoxicities against K562 cells.Cytotoxicities by CTLs derived from cultures with unloaded DCs against K562 cells were 37.6% and cytotoxicities by monocytes were 21.1%.Cytotoxicities by CTLs derived from experiment groups were stronger than control groups(P

Objective To evaluate the relationship between characteristics of cervical cancer at contrast-enhanced ultrasound and prognostic factors.Methods Thirty-five patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer were enrolled in this retrospective analysis.All the patients accepted contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination before the surgery.Relationships between the characters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and the expression of ki-67 antigen(cell proliferation marker),tumor diameter,lymph node metastasis and histologic grade were studied.Results (1)Compared to the surrounding normal tissue, the cervical cancer had statistically significant differences in time to peak and peak intensity(P <0.05),the former was shortened,and the latter was increased.(2 )The ratio of perfusion defect and heterogeneous enhancement were significantly higher in tissues,including the ki-67 positive expression tissue,poorly differentiated or larger tumors (≥ 2.0 cm in diameter)(P < 0.05 ).(3 )Compared to the ki-67 negative expression group,time to peak of the ki-67 positive expression group was shorter and the peak intensity was higher,the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 ).(4 )The peak intensity of poorly differentiated cervical cancers was significantly higher than that of the other groups (P <0.05).Conclusions Enhancement patterns and parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound were associated with prognosis, which may be useful in noninvasive prediction of the patients with cervical cancers.

Objective To investigate the brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)findings in 33 patients with neuromyelitis optica(NMO).Methods Patients who fulfilled the latest diagnostic criteria of NMO and whose brain MRI did not satisfied with diagnostic criteria of multiple sclerosis(MS)were enrolled.All the patients underwent brain MRI and spinal cord scannings and subsequent images analysis.Results Thirty-three patients with NMO were included to study.Five out of 33(15.2%)patients did not have brain parenchymal abnormalities,28 out of 33 patients(84.8%)were detected to have brain abnormal findings.Brain parenchymal lesions were well-defined in 22 patients(66.7%),no non-specific or atypical brain parenchymal lesions were found in the supratentorium or infratentorium in the other 6 cases(18.2%).However,brain MRI disclosed macroscopic,symmetrical diffuse FLAIR and T2-visible hyperintensity in deep white matter.Fifteen cases had more than one lesion(≥2 lesions),and the other 7 cases had single lesion.Supratentorial lesions were mostly punctate or small dots in nonspecific hyperintensity in juxtacortical,subcortical and deep white matter regions,a few were atypical patches.In the infratentorium,brainstem was an easily involved region(14/33,42.4%),especially in medulla(7/33,21.2%).Conclusions Brain MRI abnormalities are common in Chinese NMO,and brain lesions do not exclude the diagnosis of NMO.The observations of brain lesions are helpful to improve and revise diagnostic criteria of NMO.

Objective To investigate low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)gene mutation in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients. Methods The proband was given clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH based on marked features and blood lipid tests results. After apoB100R3500Q mutation was excluded, the promoter region and all of the 18 exons of LDLR gene were amplified by touch-downpolymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR products were analyzed by single-strand conformationalpolymorphism (SSCP). The PCR products with abnormal single strands were sequenced directly. Thesecondary structures of the mutational and wild type proteins were analyzed and compared byANTHEPROT5.0, and then the tertiary structures of the mutant and wild type LDLR were predicted atSWISS MODEL homepage online. Results A homozygous mutation A606T at exon 13 of the patients wasfound by SSCP and confirmed by DNA sequencing. GOR Ⅰ method in ANTHEPROT5.0 indicates that therandom coils and turns would replace some helixes at the mutation site. The online prediction from theSWISS MODEL homepage indicates the backbone structure of the mutant LDLR has no difference from thewild type one. Conclusion The results suggest the A606T mutation of LDLR gene is the cause of the FH inthis pedigree.
