Objective:To evaluate the consistency between architectural distortion(AD)observed on coronal images in three-dimensional ultrasonography(3D-US)and full-field digital mammography(FFDM),and to analyze the influencing factors of the presence of AD on 3D-US coronal images.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 96 female patients(97 lesions)with AD identified via FFDM that examined at Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital,School of Medicine,Westlake University from January 2019 to December 2021,all of which with corresponding 3D-US results. Kappa analysis was used to assess the consistency between AD on 3D-US and FFDM.The differences of the lesion characteristics on FFDM(glandular density,presence of calcifications,and degree of distortion),3D-US features(number of lesions,presence of mass or non-mass lesions,and skipping sign in coronal images),clinical pathological characteristics(age,location,and pathology)between groups with AD and without AD in 3D-US were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors.Results:Among the FFDM-identified AD lesions,62(63.92%,62/97)lesions showed AD on 3D-US coronal images,including 30 malignant lesions(48.39%,30/62);35(36.08%,35/97)lesions without AD on 3D-US,in which 4(11.43%,4/35)were malignant. The consistency of distortion degree between FFDM and 3D-US was moderate(Kappa=0.455, P<0.001),with no statistically significant difference( χ2=2.882, P=0.143). The probability of malignancy was higher in typical AD compared to atypical AD. The comparisons of age,location,number of lesions,presence of skipping sign in 3D-US,breast density,and presence of calcification in the lesion showed no statistically significant differences between the groups with and without AD(all P >0.05).The pathological results of malignancy,presence of lesions in 3D-US(mass and non-mass lesions),and the degree of distortion in FFDM showed statistically significant differences(all P < 0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that there were no independent risk factors for the appearance of AD in 3D-US(all P > 0.05). Conclusions:In breast FFDM AD lesions,the incidence of 3D-US coronal plane AD was 63.92%,and the consistency between the degree of distortion in FFDM and 3D-US was moderate. The probability of malignancy is higher with typical AD. Pathological malignancy,presence of lesions in 3D-US(both mass and non-mass lesions),and typical AD in FFDM are more likely to correspond with AD in the coronal.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of infection with polymyxin resistant and carbapenemase-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(PR-CRKP). Methods:A total of 170 patients with CRKP infection admitted in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 2020 to October 2023 were enrolled,including 123 cases of CRKP infection and 47 cases of PR-CRKP infection. The general conditions,exposure of antibacterial drugs 6 months before admission,laboratory test indicators at admission,antibacterial drug use when target bacteria were detected,length of hospital stay and time of invasive procedures in two groups were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors of PR-CRKP infection were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results:Univariate analysis showed that compared with the CRKP group,the average age of patients in PR-CRKP group was older( Z = -2.186, P = 0.029),the proportion of patients with exposure history to semisynthetic penicillins,carbapenems,polymyxins,and quinolones 6 months before admission was higher( χ 2= 3.930,5.414,11.939,8.478,all P < 0.05),the proportion of infections diagnosed at admission and blood urea nitrogen levels( χ 2= 7.268, Z = -2.406, P = 0.007 and 0.016)was higher,the hemoglobin level( t = 2.641, P = 0.009)was lower,the length of hospital stay was longer,the rates of tracheal intubation,urinary catheter,and deep vein catheterization were higher( Z = -4.243,-4.660,-5.341,-4.583,all P < 0.001),the duration of carbapenem and polymyxin B use was longer( Z = -4.757,-7.554,both P < 0.001),the proportion of combined quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli(QREC)and carbapenem-resistant organism(CRO)infections and bloodstream infections,and the rate of admission to intensive care units was higher( χ 2 = 33.737,42.041,5.426,12.991, P < 0.05 or < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that time to polymyxin B use( OR = 1.179, 95%CI 1.059-1.312, P = 0.003),combined QREC infection( OR = 5.357, 95%CI 2.100-13.669, P < 0.001)and combined CRO infection( OR = 3.302, 95%CI 1.146-9.514, P= 0.027)were independent risk factors for PR-CRKP. Conclusion:Prolonged use of polymyxin B is an independent risk factor for PR-CRKP,and mixed QREC and CRO infection can increase the risk of PR-CRKP.

Objective To evaluate the value of automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) and conventional ultrasound in differentiation of benign and malignant breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) 4 breast lesions. Methods Totally 239 breast lesions from 217 patients, with diagnosing of BI-RADS 4 by conventional ultrasound and automatically breast volume imaging, were analyzed retrospectively, using postoperative pathology as golden standard. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the curve of ABVS and conventional ultrasound were calculated separately. Results There were 154 benign breast lesions, 83 malignant lesions and 2 borderline lesions. The statistical analysis results of ABVS and conventional ultrasound were 96.10% and 91.80% in sensitivity, 84.30% and 80.20% in specificity,89.30% and 84.10% in accuracy, and 0.952 and 0.833 in area under the curve. Therefore, ABVS was superior to the conventional ultrasound. Conclusion Compared with conventional ultrasound, ABVS could improve the diagnostic efficacy for BI-RADS 4 breast lesions in the aspects of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, which was useful in detection of small and atypical breast cancer and could be used as a noninvasive and reliable complement for conventional ultrasound.
