Injury Treatment among Children with Autism or Pervasive Developmental Disorder

This study examined the differences in the frequency and type of injury for children with autism and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) compared with typically developing peers, when both groups are insured by Medicaid. The relative rate (RR) of emergency/hospital treatment of injury for children with autism or PDD compared to controls was 1.20 [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.04–1.39] after controlling for age and gender. Children with autism or PDD had a higher rate for head, face, and neck injuries (RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.13–1.90) and lower rate for sprains and strains (RR 0.54, 95% CI 0.32–0.91). Treatment for poisoning was 7.6 times as frequent, and self-inflicted injury was also 7.6 times as frequent for children with autism or PDD.     

Propriétés différentielles d'un inhibiteur de la décarboxylase envers la l-Dopa et le l-5-HTP. Données polygraphiques et biochimiques

This study, comparing polygraphic data and biochemical dosages with a short term rabbit EEG recording technique, shows that Ro 4602 does not have the same quantitative (or even qualitative) effect whether combined with l-Dopa or l-5-HTP. Thus minimal and optimal doses of this inhibitor of the decarboxylase are not the same for the two precursors. Using equimolar doses, clinical effects on the whole appeared to be much more evident with the association Ro 4602-l-5-HTP than with Ro 4602-l-Dopa.

     

Tumoral pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia: Radiological and pathological correlation with review of literature

Tumoral pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is rare and presents more often as a clinically apparent, well-circumscribed, solid mass. It may clinically and radiologically mimic fibroadenoma or Phyllodes tumor. In this article, our objective was to describe the clinical presentations, ultrasound and histopathological appearances of tumoral PASH in three patients. Among the three PASH tumors, all except one were palpable breast masses; and the non-palpable mass was detected on ultrasound. All patients underwent core biopsy followed by wide local excision of the mass which were histopathologically proven to be PASH.     

乳腺浸润性导管癌与导管内癌的超声造影血流动力学对比研究

目的评价超声造影在浸润性导管癌(infiltrating ductal carcinoma,IDC)和导管内癌(ductal carcinoma in situ,DCIS)中的鉴别诊断价值。方法回顾性分析2009-05-26-2013-08-21江苏大学附属医院普外科及乳腺外科手术切除,并经病理学确诊的43例乳腺IDC和30例DCIS的彩色多普勒血流特征及超声造影血流动力学特征,找出差异有统计学意义的参数,并利用Logistic回归筛选出区别2种类型乳腺癌相关性较高的参数,由此建立Logistic回归方程。结果分析2种癌各项参数在造影前后差值的平均变化值后发现,收缩期峰值血流速度的差值(Δvmax;t=3.383 4,P=0.009)和搏动指数的差值(ΔPI;t=6.745 4,P=0.032)差异有统计学意义。在造影参数中,峰值强度(t=8.246 3,P=0.018)和强度差值(t=9.637 5,P=0.025)差异有统计学意义。Logistic回归分析结果显示,最后进入方程的3个参数肿块强化方式(P=0.011)、Δvmax(P=0.015)和峰值强度(P=0.025)与乳腺IDC有较高相关性。结论超声造影对于乳腺肿瘤的血流动力学分析对于鉴别IDC及DCIS有重要价值。     

火山口征及微钙化对乳腺浸润性癌和原位癌的诊断价值

目的探讨自动乳腺全容积成像(ABVS)冠状面火山口征以及微钙化对乳腺浸润性癌(IDC)和乳腺原位癌(DCIS)的鉴别诊断价值。方法回顾性分析102个经穿刺或手术病理证实的乳腺癌病灶。按照乳腺癌的浸润与否分为乳腺浸润性癌(IDC)和乳腺原位癌(DCIS)。通过观察ABVS冠状面图像,与病理结果进行对照分析,分析ABVS火山口征以及微钙化对两种乳腺癌的鉴别诊断价值。结果 101例乳腺癌病灶中,IDC在ABVS冠状面出现火山口征的阳性率(51.2%)高于DCIS (10%),P<0.05。IDC在肿块内(81.9%)检出微钙化的比例高于DCIS (54.3%)、在导管内检出微钙化的比例(18.1%)低于DCIS (45.7%),P<0.05。IDC出现散在少量微钙化的比例为(73.2%)高于DCIS (40%),P<0.05。DCIS出现钙化簇的阳性率(35%)高于IDC(14.6%),P<0.05。结论 ABVS冠状面火山口征以及微钙化的检出部位、数量和钙化簇的出现,对于IDC、DCIS有鉴别诊断的价值。
