We utilized the mass-acceleration concept according to Newton'a second law of motion to establish a mathematieal model of left ventricular active diastolic force by twodimensional and Doppler echocardiography. Twenty normal control subjects and 31 patients with coronary heart diseases were tested. The results showed that the left ventricular active diastolic force of the patients with coronary heart diseases was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.001).The authors believe that left veatricular active diastolic force is a reliable candidates for assessing the left ventricular diastolic function.

Objective To investigate the correlation between shear wave velocity and tissue fibrosis score in thyroid space-occupying lesions.Methods The shear wave velocity of 55 thyroid space-occupying lesions was examined by virtual touch tissue quantification.The shear wave velocity of different solid parts of the lesions was detected for several times and 15 data were genarated.Then maximum and minimum value were removed.The maximum (Vmax),minimum (Vmin),mean (Vm) of shear wave velocity were calculated with the rest of 13 data.Meantime the fibrosis degree of these pathological lesions were scored by using optical micorscope.The maximum (Fmax),minimum (Fmin) and mean (Fm) fibrosis degree were calculated with these scores.Then the difference between Fmax,Fmin and Fm value of benign lesions and malignant lesions was analyzed.The linear correlation between Fmax and Vmax,Fmin and Vmin,Fm and Vm was also analysed.Results In the 55 lesions,30 lesions were benign and the rest was malignant.The Fmax,Fmin,Fm of benign lesions were 1.38 ± 1.44,0.68 ± 0.25,0.91 ± 0.73 respectively; the corresponding value of malignant lesions were 5.00 ± 1.91,3.52 ± 1.82,4.08 ± 1.75 respectively.There was significant difference between the benign group and malignant group (t test,P ＜0.01).There were linear correlation between Fmax and Vmax,Fmin and Vmin,Fm and Vm and the Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.504,0.284,0.453 respectively.Conclusions The shear wave velocity and fibrosis degree of thyroid lesions has linear relationship.The heavier the degree of fibrosis is,the faster the shear wave velocity would be.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of distal subclavian artery flow velocity tracing for proximal segment severe stenosis.Methods 56 cases with 112 subclavian arteries were examed by ultrasonography and multidetector CT angiography respectively,then the flow velocity tracing of distal subclavian arteries had been compared with CT results.Results In all 112 subclavian arteries,there were 37without proximal segment stenosis,32 with mild stenosis,12 with moderate stenosis,and 31 with severe stenosis.Innominate arteries and other parts of subclavian arteries had no stenosis.In diagnosis of subclavian artery proximal severe stenosis using single phase single peak waveform,the sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,and negative likelihood ratio were 83.9 ％,96.3 ％,22.7,0.063 respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,and negative likelihood ratio were 100 ％,93.8 ％,16.1,0 respectively,in terms of diagnosis by application of acceleration time ≥0.11s.Conclusions The statistics of acceleration time ≥0.11 s and single phase single peak waveform have high application value in diagnosis of subclavian artery severe stenosis respectively.

Objective To explore the relationship of the mean color vessels density (MCVD) and pathologic microvessel density(MVD) in rectal cancers and their relation with T stags and lymph node metastasis.Methods MCVD were caculated preoperationly with transrectal color power angiography(TRCPA).After operation MVD was assessed immunohistochemically using anti-CD105 monoclonal antibody.The relationships within MCVD, MVD and T stages and lymph node metastasis were analysed.Results There were positive correlation between MCVD and MVD (r=0.763, P＜0.01) in rectal cancer.There were significant difference of MCVD and MVD in both the depth of carcinoma invasion and metastasis of lymphatic nodes( P＜0.05).Conclusions MCVD can display features of the blood supply and distribution of pathologic microvessels and reflect the development of rectal cancers.MCVD is a credible index to choose available treatment and to evaluate prognosis before operation of rectal cancer.

Objective This study aimed to discuss the different assessment of pain among medical and nursing staff and cancer patients and supply reference for proper analgesic precept for clinical application and nursing measures. Methods We collected the assessment of psychological pain and physiological pain by 55 hospitalization cancer patients, 40 physicians in-charge and 55 nurses in-charge in one week by Johnson inventory. The assessment results were compared and at the same time the relevant problems of the attitude to cancer pain by patients was also investigated. Results Improper recognition existed in cancer pain treatment by most cancer patients. The physiological pain was higher than the psychological pain assessed by both patients and nurses (P<0.05). But the pain assessment by patients was higher than that by the nurses (P<0.05). The assessment of psychological pain was higher than the physiological pain by doctors and both aspects were lower than those by patients, but no statistical difference was seen (P>0.05). The assessment by doctors was more accurate than that by nurses. Conclusions Routine establishment of pain assessment inventory for patients could instruct patients how to record the degree of their pain. We should strengthen the standard training about pain management knowledge and give timely communication with patients' cancer pain.

Objective To compare the value of automatic breast volume scanner (ABVS) with enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in the diagnosis of breast masses.Methods Seventy-four patients with 80 breast masses underwent preoperative ultrasound examinations including ABVS and MRI.The values of ABVS and MRI in the diagnosis of breast masses were comparatively analyzed.Results Among the 80 breast masses that were surgically removed,37 masses were benign and 43 masses were malignant.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ABVSin the diagnosis of breast malignant masses were 94.6％,79.1％,86.3％,79.5％ and 94.4％,respectively,those of MRI were 94.6 ％,86.0 ％,90.0 ％,85.4 ％ and 94.9 ％,respectively,and those of the combination of ABVS and MRI were 94.6％,93.0％,93.8％,92.1％,and 95.2％,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity were not significant difference between ABVS and MRI in the diagnosis of breast malignant masses(P ＞0.05).The specificity of the combination ABVS and MRI in the diagnosis of breast malignant masses were significantly higher than that of ABVS (x2 =4.17,P =0.04).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of convergence sign in the diagnosis of breast malignant masses were 64.9 ％,97.7 ％ and 82.5 ％,respectively.Conclusions ABVS and MRI are both valuable in the diagnosis of breast masses,and the combination of ABVS and MRI is the most valuable due to high specificity.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of different routes of administration of tranexamic acid on coagulation function and amount of bleeding in patients with one stage posterior surgery of thoracic tuberculosis. METHODS:40 patients suffered from thoracic tuberculosis in our hospital from Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2013 were randomly divided into intravenous group(5% Glucose injec-tion 100 ml+tranexamic acid 10 mg/kg,through an intravenous drip at 30 min before closing the wound) and topical application group(5% Glucose injection 10 ml and tranexamic acid 10 mg/kg,through soaking the wound before closing the wound)with 20 cases in each group. Other 15 cases suffered from the thoracic tuberculosis in our hospital from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2010 were includ-ed in control group. 3 groups received one stage posterior surgery of thoracic tuberculosis,interbody fusion and internal fixation. The difference of hemoglobin,coagulation function and the amount of suction drainage were observed before and after surgery, and followed up. Bone graft fusion and therapeutic condition of tuberculosis were observed in the study. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in postoperative suction drainage between intravenous group and topical application group (P>0.05),but their decrease was more significant than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistically difference in fiber protease,prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time among 3 groups(P>0.05). The difference value of he-moglobin in control group before and after operation was significantly higher than in intravenous group and topical application group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance between intravenous group and topical applica-tion group(P>0.05). 55 patients were all followed up and bone graft of all cases were fused,and all patients were cured and no case recurred. CONCLUSIONS:Tranexamic acid by intravenous application or topical application can reduce hemorrhage and ane-mia after operation of thoracic tuberculosis,and has no effect on blood coagulative system.
