ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the ultrasonic characteristics of eccrine spiradenoma (ES) and to analyze the diagnostic value.Methods:Nineteen ES patients with 24 lesions confirmed by pathology in 3 grade-A tertiary hospitals from October 2011 to October 2021 were enrolled as study group, and in the same time, 46 patients with 46 masses in the skin and muscular tissues with clinical features of automatic pain and/or tenderness were selected as control group. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively, including anatomical location, shape, boundary, internal echogenicity, echogenic distribution, calcification, posterior acoustic effect, and vascularity. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the two groups were compared, and the risk sonographic characteristics of ES were obtained by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound characteristics for the diagnosis of ES were calculated.Results:The ultrasonic characteristics of the two groups had significant differences in lobulated shape, boundary, internal echogenicity and posterior acoustic effect (χ 2=32.65, 15.65, 5.77, 13.63; all P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement were the risk ultrasonic characteristics of ES. The sensitivity and specificity of lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics in the diagnosis of ES were 79.17%, 89.13%, 95.83% and 47.83%, respectively; and the sensitivity and specificity of the combination of lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics in the diagnosis of ES were 79.17% and 97.83%, respectively. Conclusions:The lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics are important for the identification of ES, which have higher diagnostic efficacy for ES.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and value of bronchoscopy combined with normal treatment for postoperative complications-atelectasis and pneumonia. Method A systematic search in PubMed, CNKI, WANFANG was performed using “bronchoscopy” crossed with “atelectasis”, “pneumonia”. All the randomized controlled trials (RCT) on bronchoscopy used for postoperative complications were collected, which contain atelectasis or pneumonia. Meta-analysis was handled by RevMan 5.3. Result A total of 543 clients included in 8 studies, There were statistically significant differences in development of postoperative pulmonary complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia treated with normal treatment or ifbrotic bronchoscopy additionally [OR
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association between TLR4,C-Jun N-terminal kinase,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),Leptin changes and chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH). Methods Twenty-four SD rats were divided into 3 groups (n=8):control group,CIH 6 weeks group, CIH 8 weeks group. After the modeling,the change of blood pressure and renal artery were observed by the use of non-invasive blood pressure analyzer and HE staining. ELISA was employed to determine the production of TNF-αand Leptin in sera of these animals. The expressions of TLR4 and JNK mRNA were detected by real time quantitativer everse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( QRT-PCR) method in the adipose tissue. Results The blood pressure in intermittent hypoxia group was signifi-cantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01), and the renal artery pathological changes in intermittent hy-poxia group were significantly heavier than those in control group;the content of TNF-α and Leptin in intermittent hypoxia was significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01),and the content of TNF-α and Leptin was significantly increased with the days of hypoxia;the expression of TLR4 and JNK at mRNA levels in intermittent hy-poxia was significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01),and the expression of TLR4 and JNK at mR-NA levels was significantly increased with the days of hypoxia. Conclusion TLR4,JNK,TNF-α,Leptin may be in-volved in the inflammatory response of chronic intermittent hypoxia in rats.
