Objective To explore the characteristics of uhrasonography of hepatobiliary cystadenoma. Methods The ultrasonographic characteristics of 5 cases with hepatobiliary cystadenoma were retrospectively analysed, and compared with the operation and pathology. Results The ultrasonography of 5 cases was multilocular cystic mass,which seems to be,but not indeed communicating with the biliary tree,in which irregular septation was demonstrated in two-dimensional structure and also with perforator vessels along in color Doppler flow imagineg. And in some cases small papillary tuft and small loci of calcification was noted on the septation. Conclusions Muhilocular cystic mass,locating along the biliary tree, however not communicating with the the biliary tree, is an important diagnostic basis of biliary cystadenoma. And it should be distinguished with other cystic tumor in the liver.

Characteristics and measurement principles of reference methods in clinical biochemistry were described.Implementation of reference systems is one of the most effective approaches to improve the accuracy and comparability of clinical laboratory test results.Reference methods are the key components of reference systems.Reference methods should have measurement uncertainties that meet the requirements of the intended use,and thus should be based on reliable measurement principles.For the well-defined biochemistry analytes,reference methods have been almost all based on instrumental analysis.Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ID/MS) is considered most reliable and has been the major analytical principle of the reference methods.ID/MS analysis is accurate but expensive.Use of other validated instrumental analyses as reference measurement principles would be justified.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).Methods:A total of 415 patients with abnormal glucose tolerance were screened by oral glucose tolerance test in Changsha Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Changsha Eighth Hospital) from October 2015 to September 2019. General data were collected and blood routine and biochemical indexes were detected. There were 193 cases in the observation group and 222 cases in the control group. The RDW and other clinical indicators were compared between the two groups, the correlation between RDW and other indicators was analyzed, and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome were analyzed.Results:⑴ The RDW, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), height (Ht), weight (Wt), waist circumferenc (Wc), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (CHOL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), body mass index (BMI) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while the high density lipoprotein (HDL) was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); ⑵ correlation analysis showed that RDW was positively correlated with SBP, DBP, Ht, Wt, Wc, TG, CHOL, Cr, UA, ALT, hs-CRP, BMI, and negatively correlated with HDL ( P<0.05); ⑶ binary logistic regression analysis showed that RDW, Wt, Wc, CHOL, HDL, LDL and hs-CRP were independent risk factors for MS in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. Conclusions:The increase of RDW is a predictor of metabolic syndrome in people with abnormal glucose tolerance, which may provide some reference value for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome.
