RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the necessity of prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) before curettage in treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).Methods A total of 142 patients with CSP were enrolled and divided into 3 groups according to Adler grading standard,including little vascularity (grade 0-Ⅰ,n=40),moderate vascularity (grade Ⅱ,n=41) and rich vascularity groups (grade Ⅲ,n=61).All patients were treated with curettage or prophylactic UAE before curettage.The differences of age,times of cesarean section,time to last cesarean section,intraoperative blood loss and success rate of therapy were compared between different treatment methods in each group.Results There was no statistical difference of age,times of cesarean section,time to last cesarean section,intraoperative blood loss and success rate of therapy between curettage and prophylactic UAE before curettage in little vascularity group and moderate vascularity group (all P>0.05).Compared with curettage,the success rate of prophylactic UAE before curettage was higher and the intraoperative blood loss was lower in rich vascularity group (both P<0.05).There was no statistical difference of age,times of cesarean section nor time to last cesarean section in rich vascularity group (all P>0.05).Conclusion It is necessary to perform prophylactic UAE before curettage for cesarean scar pregnancy patient with rich vascularity,which is helpful to reduction of intraoperative blood loss.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the characteristic manifestations of breast malignant isodense masses using mammography. Methods 121 breast isodense masses with pathological confirmations were collected.Compared indicators with pathological findings were the tumor size,shape,edge,structure changes around the mass,axillary lymph nodes,skin changes,nipple changes,suspi-cious malignant calcification.χ2 test and Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the diagnostic values of each indicator.Re-sults In the 121 isodense masses,73 were benign,48 were malignant tumors.According to χ2 test analysis,factors impacted the nature of mass including:tumor morphology (χ2 =14.376,P =0.002),tumor edge (χ2 = 21.555,P =0.000),structure twisted surrounding the mass (χ2 =26.939,P =0.000),axillary lymph nodes (χ2 =1 6.285,P =0.000),skin thickening (χ2 =4.698,P =0.030).According to multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis,risk factors of the Logistic regression model included:edge infiltrating of mass (P =0.014),structure twisted surrounding the mass (P =0.003),axillary lymph nodes (P =0.026).Conclusion The characteristic manifestations of breast malignant isodense masses include edge infiltrating,structure twisted surrounding the mass,axillary lymph nodes.These manifestations are of great significance in differential diagnosis of breast isodense masses.
