Objective To study the value of time intensity curve of contrast enhanced ultrasound in the discrimination of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. Methods Thirty-seven cases of soft tissue tumors were carried out contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. The region of interest in the dynamic images were chosen to carry out Gamma-Variate curve fitting through Q-LAB software and made a quantitative analysis. Then they were compared with pathological diagnosis to analyze the ultrasound imaging performance of benign and malignant tumors and their characteristics of micro-irrigation. Results Thirty-seven cases of soft tissue tumors were pathologically diagnosed 21 cases of benign and malignant in 16 cases. The perfusion of benign tumors were mainly uniformity (19/21) or potentialization (2/21). The perfusion of malignant tumors were mainly uniformity (10/16) or nonuniformity (6/16). There were no significant differences in time to peak(TTP) and arrival time of contrast agent(AT) between benign and malignant tumors( P >0.05). The upslope rate(A) and the derived peak intensity(DPI) in benign group were significantly less than malignant group ( P <0.05). Conclusions Time-intensity curve analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed that benign and malignant soft tissue tumors were different in perfusion,and it will be of a certain value for the clinical differential diagnosis.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the serum brain?derived neurotrophic factor( BDNF) level in severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods One hundred and twenty term and birth weight>2500 g infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Bethune nternational Peace Hospital of People Liberation Army were divided into severe hyperbilirubinemia group and control group according to their total bilirubin concentration. Total bilirubin( TBIL) concentration,BDNF and albumin in serum were determined in two groups. In addition, craniocerebral MRI was performed in severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia before discharge. The correlation of the BDNF, TBIL, B/A, MRI results between severe hyperbilirubinemia group and control group were compared. Results The serum BDNF levels in severe hyperbilirubinemia group was ( 8. 84 ±3. 26) μg/L,significantly higher than that in control group((6. 24±1. 71) μg/L,t=3. 88,P<0. 05). In severe hyperbilirubinemia group,BDNF level was positively correlated with B/A level(r=0. 429,P<0. 05),but there was no correlation between BDNF and total bilirubin level(r=0. 278,P>0. 05). The serum BDNF level with craniocerebral MRI abnormal was ( 9. 53 ± 2. 77 ) μg/L, higher than that with craniocerebral MRI abnormal ((7. 81±3. 76) μg/L),but there was no statistical difference between them(t=1. 439,P>0. 05). Conclusion In severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, the body can secrete BDNF increasely. BDNF level is positivelycorrelated with B/ A level. As a marker of brain damage,BDNF is sensitive than craniocerebral MRI.

Abstract: In this paper, factors contributing to the formation of pulse wave were analyzed based on hemodynamic principles. It is considered that formation of pulse wave was related to its propagation and reflection characteristics. Propagation of the pulse wave was characterized by pulse wave velocity, and reflection of the pulse wave was characterized by reflection coefficient. Pulse wave velocity and reflection coefficient were proposed as the eigenvectors of pulse wave in pulse diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, and support vector machine (SVM) was used to recognize slippery pulse, stringy pulse and plain pulse. Pulse wave velocity and reflection coefficient of the slippery, stringy and plain pulses in healthy people were calculated in this study, and SVM with Gaussian radial basis function was used for classifying. Results showed that pulse wave velocity and reflection coefficient with physiological and pathological significance had advantages in distinguishing slippery pulse, stringy pulse and plain pulse, which offered a new idea for recognizing pulse condition.

This study was aimed to observe bronchial asthma patients in remission after treatment of traditional Chi-nese medicine(TCM) with four diagnostic information, syndrome differentiation and changes oflung function indicators, in order to explore the efficacy evaluation with TCM characteristics. TCM tongue manifestation instrument, TCM in-quiry scale, pulse-taking instrument, acoustic diagnostic information collection system, and spirometer were used in thecollection of 33 bronchial asthma cases in remission before and after treatment (1~5 months) basedon four diagnos-tic information and lung function indexes. Single-factor analysis of variance and other methods were used in the analysis of four diagnostic parameters and lung function indexes before and after treatment. The results showed that after TCM treatment, there were significant changes on indexes such as facial complexion, tongue sub-region color, color of tongue coating and other parameters. There was significant difference in the acoustic parameters before and after treatment. After TCM treatment, the frequency of lung system symptom such as nasal obstruction was decreased. There was no significant difference on changes of pulse-taking indexes among asthma patients before and after treat-ment. After treatment, the FEV1.0% of asthma patients was increased,whichindicated that asthma ventilatory function had been improved to some extent. It was concluded that TCM objective test provide an effective basis for the diag-nosis of bronchial asthma on aspects such as TCM syndrome, disease change observation and clinical evaluation.
