Objective To investigate the qualitative diagnostic features of less than 2 cm atypical solitary breast nodules.Methods 52 patients diagnosed with atypical solitary breast nodules as well as the mammography and clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among those 52 cases of nodular lesions,there were 23 benign nodules and 29 malignant nodules.Among these 29 malignant cases,26 cases were misdiagnosed as benign lesions,the X-ray of which showed the margin of nodules were mostly smooth,the density relatively homogenic yet with no sign of lobulation.Meanwhile,19 cases were diagnosed as malignant lesions, the X-ray of which showed irregular nodules,uneven density with or without multiple calcification,their margin lobulated,ragged, and ambient structure irregularity.In some case their local skin thickened and subcutaneous axungia were turbid.There were 7 cases unable to make timely diagnosis,the X-ray of which showed more or less regular form,uneven or almost even density,ambient structure barely regular,lack typical features.Conclusion To make accurate diagnosis,it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the pathology X-ray of different lesions,the atypical manifestation,plus comprehensive and detailed analysis,combing ultrasound and clinical palpation,MRI,biopsy and follow-ups when needed.

The correlation between vegetarian diets and cardiovascular health is always one of the hotspots. Many scholars have performed so many clinical researches all over the world, providing evidence-based medicine (EBM) reference for clarifying their correlation. In this paper, we raise ideas and expectation on the basis of a Meta-analysis about vegetarian diets and blood pressure (published on JAMA Internal Medicine in Feb 2014) in combination of main clinical research literature in this field in recent 20 years.

Objective To synthesize 628F-Py-AMD3465,to investigate its biodistribution in mice and to perform the microPET/CT imaging on mice bearing human lung cancer cell (A549).Methods AMD3465 quaternary ammonium salt precursor was directly labeled with 18F,then 628F-Py-AMD3465 was synthesized through nucleophilic reaction,hydrolysis,neutralization and the product was purified using HPLC.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity were analyzed by HPLC.Fifteen Kunming mice were injected with 5.55 MBq of 628F-Py-AMD3465 and sacrificed at 5,20,40,60 and 120 min postinjection.The selected tissues were harvested and weighed,and the radioactivity in the tissues was measured by an automated γ-spectrometer.The ％ID/g was calculated.MicroPET/CT studies were performed on A549-bearing mice after injecting 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 through vena caudal.Paired t test was used.Results 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 was successfully synthesized with the labeling yield of (9.0±2.0)％,the total synthesis time was about 60 min,and the radiochemical purity was more than 98％.Biodistribution studies showed that the radiouptake was higher in the kidneys and bladder of normal mice,which demonstrated that 6-18 F-Py-AMD3465 was mainly excreted through the kidneys.Biodistribution in A549-bearing mice was similar to that in normal mice.The tumor/muscle ratio at 40 min was 5.0,but the radiouptake of the tumor was still lower than that of the normal lung:(8.05±0.35) ％ID/g vs (9.33±0.66) ％ID/g;t=5.26,P＜0.05.MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the high-uptake location of 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 in tumor-bearing mice was similar to the normal mice,and the tumor uptake reached the maximum level at 45 min post-injection (SUV 0.67).Conclusions 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 can be synthesized by a simple method.A lower uptake could be shown in the tumor compared to that in the lung and the tracer has limited diagnostic value for lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and treatment of local recurrence after Dixon operation of rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of forty-seven patients who had local recurrence after Dixon operation of rectal cancer in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 was analyzed retrospectively.According to literature review,the high risk factors and treatment methods of local recurrence of rectal cancer in China and abroad were analyzed.Results The treatment methods of patients with local recurrence after anterior resection were radical resection,palliative resection and chemotherapy.The prognosis of patients with radical resection whose overall survival time was (38.202±2.411) months,better than that with palliative resection ((24.591±2.150) months),better than that with chemotherapy ((12.833±1.033) months).There was a significant difference in the survival time among the three groups (χ2=30.155,P<0.001).Conclusion Fully understanding of high risk factor can help reduce the probability of local recurrence.For patients with local recurrence of the rectal cancer,radical resection should be performed.In case that radical surgery is not possible,positive treatments should be adopted if the patients are in good physical condition.
