Chinese Journal of Radiological Health 2021;30(4):512-516
Objective To compare the clinical value of chest CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 90 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer lymph node metastasis diagnosed and treated in our hospital from July 2015 to June 2019. All patients underwent chest CT and MRI scans after admission, and the lesion tissue samples were taken for pathological examination after surgery. Physical examination, with pathological diagnosis results as the gold standard, analyze the sensitivity and specificity of chest CT and MRI. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of MRI scan was 88.73%, 94.74%, 98.44%, and 69.23%, respectively, which were higher than 69.01%, 52.63%, 84.48%, and 31.25% of the chest CT scan. In the distribution of lymph node metastasis, the middle of the thorax was the largest, and the proportions of the upper, middle, and lower thoraxes were 26.67%, 60.00%, and 13.33%, respectively. The uppermost mediastinal and paratracheal lymph nodes had the largest metastases in the upper thorax, the paratracheal and subcarinal lymph nodes in the middle thoracic segment had the most metastasis, and the next to the cardia and left gastric artery lymph nodes in the lower thorax had the largest metastases. The accuracy of MRI diagnosis is higher than that of chest CT. Conclusion Both chest CT and MRI can diagnose lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal cancer. The diagnostic value of MRI in diagnosing lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal cancer is better than chest CT. The diagnostic accuracy of MRI in each part of the lymph node is higher than that of chest CT, which can show the lymph nodes more clearly in transfer situation.

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical application of BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity) index in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Forty patients with stable COPD in Xuanwu Hospital of Beijing during September 2003 to December 2007, were recruited in the study, including 25 men and 15 women, aged 38 to 85 years (with a mean of 62 ± 13 years). BODE index was measured for each patient, one year and three years after recruitment, respectively. Severity of COPD, including number and duration of episodes, length of each hospital stay and times of hospitalization due to acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), were recorded. All data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software for windows. Results ①There was a remarkable difference in COPD severity between patients with BODE score equal to or greater than five and these with less than five (P <0.01 ). ①BODE score inversely correlated with forced expired volume at the first second ( FEV1 ) in COPD patients (P < 0.01 for those with BODE score equal to or greater than five and P <0.05 for these with BODE score less than five, respectively). ③BODE score positively correlated with number and duration of acute exacerbation, length of hospital stay and times of hospitalization due to AECOPD (P <0. 01 for those with BODE score equal to or greater than five and P < 0. 05 for those with BODE score less than five, respectively). For patients with COPD, their BODE score in the first year positively correlated with that in the third year ( r = 0.834, P < 0.01 ). Conclusions BODE index is a better indicator to evaluate their condition severity in patients with COPD.

Objective To investigate the evaluation of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the relationship with the pulmonary function test (PFT). Methods 26 COPD patients and 30 normal controls were examined with CPET and PFT. Results The parameters of CPET, including maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), anaerobic threshold (AT), maximum minute ventilation (VEmax) and breathing reserve (BR) were lower in COPD group than those in control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in Wmax, oxygen pulse (O2pulse) between two groups (P>0.05). VO2max, AT, VEmax and BR were positively correlated with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) in COPD group (P<0.05), but were not correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC (P>0.05).Conclusion The pulmonary function of COPD patients can be evaluated with CPET, especially VO2max, AT, VEmax and BR.
