 目的 探讨窦口鼻道复合体冠状CT平扫在慢性鼻窦炎分型诊断中的重要意义。方法 对160例(320侧)副鼻窦冠状位CT片进行分型,并分析各型病变CT特征性改变。结果 漏斗型72例(45.0％);窦口鼻道复合体型26例(16.3％);蝶筛隐窝型33例(20.6％);息肉型17例(10.6％);散在或不能分型者12例(7.5％)。结论 窦口鼻道复合体冠状CT扫描可明确显示各型鼻窦炎的特点,为手术术式提供重要和直接的依据。     

螺旋CT肝脏双期扫描及门静脉血管三维重建在小肝癌诊断的临床应用

目的 探讨螺旋CT肝脏双期扫描及门静脉血管三维重建在小肝癌诊断中临床应用价值。方法 25例直径≤3cm小肝癌行螺旋CT肝脏双期扫描及门静脉血管三维重建。三维重建方法采用最大强度投影(MIP)。结果 (1)CT平扫,18例病灶呈低密度,7例病灶呈等密度。肝动脉期,25例病灶强化呈高密度,强化类型分为均匀一致性,斑点状及环状强化。门静脉期25例病灶均呈低密度。(2)门静脉血管MIP三维重建能较好显示小肝癌病灶与肝内门静脉血管关系,肝内门静脉血管分支于病灶处稀少,部分中断或被轻度推移,肿瘤内无门静脉分支血管。结论 螺旋CT肝脏双期扫描及门静脉血管三维重建是诊断和评价小肝癌的有效方法,提高了小肝癌的检出率及诊断正确率,可较好显示病灶与门静脉的关系,为其外科手术提供导向。     

Direct uterine sampling with the Tao brush sampler using a liquid‐based preparation method for the detection of endometrial cancer and atypical hyperplasia

BACKGROUND.

Endometrial cytology sampling devices for direct uterine sampling have been shown in previous studies to be a reliable and relatively painless method for detecting endometrial lesions. The purpose of the current study was to determine the performance characteristics of endometrial cytology for the detection of malignancy and atypical hyperplasia using liquid‐based cytology specimens collected with the Tao brush sampler.

METHODS.

Brushings of the endometrial cavity were obtained from 139 hysterectomy specimens before routine histopathologic evaluation. Cytology specimens were fixed in PreservCyt and processed using ThinPrep technology. Cytology diagnoses were classified as nondiagnostic, negative, atypical, or positive for malignancy. Histopathologic findings were used as the gold standard for determining the performance characteristics of cytology.

RESULTS.

Histopathologic results from the 139 patients included 81 (58%) endometrial cancers, 7 (5%) complex hyperplasias with atypia, 2 (1%) complex hyperplasias without atypia, and 49 (35%) patients with benign histology. The number of specimens diagnosed cytologically as positive, atypical, negative, or nondiagnostic was 60 (43%), 40 (29%), 37 (27%), and 2 (1%) specimens, respectively. The overall sensitivity and specificity of cytology for detecting endometrial cancer and atypical hyperplasia were 95% and 66% when atypical cytology specimens were considered positive.

CONCLUSIONS.

The results of the current study indicate that direct endometrial sampling by liquid‐based endometrial cytology collected with the Tao brush sampler produces specimens that contain cellular material that may be identified as endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia. Both atypical and positive cytology diagnoses are indicators for triage to more specific methods of diagnosis. Cancer (Cancer Cytopathol) 2008. © 2008 American Cancer Society     

爆裂性骨折所致眼球内陷的CT研究

目的:研究眼眶爆裂性骨折后,眼球内陷与眼眶容积扩大的关系并对眼球内陷进行早期预报。方法:28例单侧眼眶爆裂性骨折后1～350 d患者,分别测量双侧眼球位置和骨性眼眶容积值,计算患侧眼球内陷值(E)和骨性眼眶容积扩大值(V),应用pearson积矩法研究E、V相关性并建立直线回归方程。结果:28例患侧E、V呈正相关(r=0.88,P<0.001);15例≤24 d的患者直线回归方程为E=0.85 V-1.74(r=0.86,P<0.001),13例>24 d的患者直线回归方程为E=0.86 V-0.60(r=0.9,P<0.001)。结论:眼球内陷值与眼眶容积扩大值高度相关;1 mL眼眶容积的扩大,可引起大约0.9mm(0.85～0.86 mm)的眼球内陷。与伤后>24 d的相比,≤24 d的眼球有明显的抗拒内陷的趋势,>24 d之后,这种趋势逐渐消失,随之发生眼球内陷。     

Comparison of assays for anti-HBc in blood donors

Testing for anti-HBc has been recommended for use as a paradoxical or surrogate marker of carriers of non-A, non-B hepatitis. Serial sampling on a pool of 35,600 donors was done and those donors found to be repeatedly reactive by EIA method were rested using RIA methodology. Of 1367 donors found to be repeatedly reactive by EIA method, only 984 were confirmed by RIA. Those found to be reactive by EIA only were allowed to donate blood again, with only three of them becoming positive by both EIA and RIA on subsequent donations. The majority of these donors (107 out of 151) reverted to EIA negative status. Therefore, the finding of a positive anti-HBc by EIA method that could not be repeated by RIA method is not an early reproducible sign of anti-HBc reactive status.
