Sonographic features of benign thyroid nodules: interobserver reliability and overlap with malignancy.

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively determine the sonographic findings of nodular hyperplasia of the thyroid, to compare these with reported findings associated with malignancy, and to assess interobserver reliability. METHODS: Seventy thyroid nodules were scanned, and then biopsies of the nodules were performed under sonographic guidance with fine-needle cytologic analysis; in all cases images were reviewed by 2 experienced radiologists without knowledge of clinical outcome. Findings reported associated with malignancy were specifically assessed. Interobserver agreement between the expert and secondary readers for each finding was calculated by the kappa or weighted kappa statistic and the Fisher exact test of independence. RESULTS: There were 68 benign and 2 malignant nodules in a population of 63 female and 7 male patients. The mean benign nodule size was 2.9 cm; 60% were solid; 54% were hypoechoic; 59% were microlobulated or macrolobulated; 47% had central vascularity; 24% contained calcifications; and 82% were elliptical in shape. There was very good interobserver reliability for the presence of calcium (kappa = 0.91) and good agreement for the presence and location of vascularity (kappa = 0.75) and the amount of cystic components (kappa = 0.62; all P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Sixty-nine percent of benign nodules had at least 1 finding reported previously as associated with malignancy. The interobserver reliability of the sonographic findings was good to very good for 3 of the 5 findings assessed.

实验家兔莱姆病血液学研究

本实验复制了莱姆病实验家兔模型，对血液生化23项进行了动态观察。结果表明，血液中谷丙转氨酶、γ-谷氨酰转肽酶、乳酸脱氢酶、谷草转氨酶、β-羟丁酸脱氢酶、磷酸肌酸激酶、胆固醇、尿素氮随病情加重而升高。葡萄糖、尿酸、磷随病情加重而减低。     

低位直肠癌保留肛门的综合治疗

目的探讨低位直肠癌保留肛门对其预后的影响。方法对25例低位直肠癌患者行术前放疗、化疗。术式：行全直肠系膜切除术（total mesorectal excision，TME），直肠分离至肛提肌水平。手术远端切缘超过肿瘤下缘1．0-2．0cm。均保留肛门。术后再给予放疗和化疗。结果全组无手术死亡，无吻合口瘘和吻合口狭窄发生。大部分患者术后3～6个月大便控制良好。随访1～37个月，仅有1例复发，1例死于心脏病。结论对于低位直肠癌患者，配合术前术后放、化疗，采用TME手术，不仅可以保留患者肛门，避免了人造肛门所致的心理影响，而且同样可以取得较好疗效。     

热分析中系列相关反应的补偿效应研究

根据热分析谱图峰顶的数学特征与Ｃｏａｔｓ－Ｒｅｄｆｅｒｎ方程，推得在一定实验条件下，在系列相关反应中，若峰顶温度相接近，则各反应的表观活化能Ｅ与指前因子Ａ之间存在着有动力学意义的补偿效应，即ｌｎＡ＝ａＥ＋ｂ。并经系列含水硫酸盐脱水反应实验验证。     

1例乙酸钙不动杆菌致角膜溃疡病人的护理

不动杆菌为条件致病菌,致病力不强,一般情况下很少引起感染,但当机体抵抗力降低或正常免疫屏障被破坏时可引发疾病,确切的致病因子目前尚无定论[1].我院于2005年8月24日收治1例因乙酸钙不动杆菌所致角膜溃疡病人,经过及时、有效的治疗及精心护理,取得了较好的疗效,现将其护理总结如下.

5种稀土粉尘的细胞毒性研究

本研究应用荧光偏振测量技术测定了豚鼠肺泡巨噬细胞膜流动性,用原子吸收分光光度仪测定细胞钾,并通过测定细胞培养液中乳酸脱氢酶的活性、细胞死亡率及扫描电镜观察巨噬细胞形态学变化,研究了CeO_2、包钢混合稀土、硅铁合金、Y_2O_3及富钇5种粉尘对细胞的毒作用。结果表明,5种粉尘对细胞均产生一定毒性,并有明显的剂量-反应关系。经毒性大小比较,CeO_2毒性较轻,接近TiO_2,包钢混合稀土与硅铁合金相近,毒性居中,Y_2O_3和富钇毒性较大,但轻于SiO_2。     

CT导引下肝肾囊肿抽吸硬化治疗

目的：总结CT导引下肝肾囊肿穿刺抽吸硬化治疗的疗效和操作经验。材料和方法：肝囊肿11，肾囊肿15例，多囊肾1例，囊肿大小为3．5－12cm，均用15cm长20GGreene针穿刺治疗，抽出囊液量为21－550ml，囊液抽净后注入99．7％的无水酒精。结果：治疗后症状均有明显好转或消失，本组随访肝囊肿7例、肾囊肿11例，疗效指数I级1例（多囊肾），Ⅱ级肝肾囊肿各2例，Ⅲ级肝囊肿5例肾囊肿8例。穿刺操作顺利，无严重并发症发生。结论：CT导引下肝肾囊肿抽吸硬化治疗操作简便、创伤小、疗效高可作为替代外科手术的有效的治疗方法，多囊肾的单纯抽吸治疗可明显减轻症状，改善肾功能，是一种较好的治疗手段。
