Objective:To study the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing the invasiveness of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), and analyze its risk factors.Methods:This study included 200 patients with pathologically confirmed PTMC who underwent surgery in Fenyang Hospital from January 2019 and June 2021. All were diagnosed with SWE and CEUS before surgery. The value of the two methods in diagnosing the invasiveness of PTMC was explored. The patients′ data were collected to screen the risk factors for the invasiveness of PTMC.Results:It was pathologically confirmed that among the 200 patients with PTMC, there were 112 cases with malignant nodules, 88 cases with benign nodules, 75 cases with cervical lymph node metastasis (including 71 cases with capsular invasion) and 125 cases without lymph node metastasis. CEUS parameters of malignant nodules were significantly higher than those of benign nodules ( P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of SWE combined with CEUS to diagnose capsular invasion were 94.66%, 85.60%, 89.00%, 79.77% and 96.39%, with high consistency with the pathological results ( Kappa>0.75). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple foci, irregular shape, breakthrough capsule and small calcification were independent risk factors for the invasiveness of PTMC (VIF<3). The ROC curve results showed that the AUC of SWE combined with CEUS to diagnose capsular invasion was 0.772, and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 73.91% and 80.56%. Conclusions:SWE combined with CEUS can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy for the invasiveness of PTMC.

@#Objective To observe the effect of Motomed Gracile on spastic cerebral palsy. Methods 48 cerebral palsy children were divided into two groups: intervention group (n=24) and control group (n=24). The children in the control group accepted comprehensive rehabilitation, while the children in the intervention group were trained with Motomed Gracile in addition. They were evaluated with Ashworth Assessment and manual muscle testing (MMT) 6 months after treatment. Results The scores of intervention group improved more significantly than those in control group （P<0.05）. Conclusion Motomed Gracile can facilitate the recovery of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
