Methods From January 2003 to January 2009, 125 patients who were suspected to suffering from adrenal tumors underwent ultrasonography and CT examination. The results were then confirmed by surgery and pathology. There were 48 cases of pheochromocytoma, 41 adenoma, 11 adenocarcinoma, 9 metastatic tumor, 8 adrenal medullary lipoma, 2 nubblar hyperplasia, 4 tuberculosis of adrenal gland, 1 tumor of cauda pancreatic, 1 tumor of liver and 1 tumor of upper pole of kidney. Results The ultrasonographic features varied with different pathological types. The accuracy diagnosis of localizition and qualitation were 96.0% (120/125) and 91.2% (114/125) respectively. Conclusion Ultrasonography is useful in diagnosing tumors of adrenal gland, which may be used as the first choice for the disease.
Objective To investigate clinical significance of serum VEGF-C level and C-erbB-2 protein expression in patients with breast cancer. Methods Sixty-two female patients with breast invasive ductal cancer and breast benign lesion were respectively selected. Serum VEGF-C level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before operation and at one month after operation, and C-erbB-2 protein expression in tissues of breast cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry. Then, the relationship between serum VEGF-C level and clinicopathologic characteristics and C-erbB-2 protein expressions wereas analyzed. Results The serum VEGF-C level before operation in breast cancer patients〔(279.65±17.34) pg/ml〕 was significantly higher than that in breast benign lesions patients 〔(167.26±12.15) pg/ml〕, P＜0.01. In breast cancer patients, the serum VEGF-C level before operation was higher than that at one month after operation 〔(209.45±15.23) pg/ml〕, P＜0.01. The serum VEGF level was related to tumor stage (P＜0.05) but not to patient age, tumor size, menopause status , lymph node metastasis or not and ER and PR expression (Pgt;0.05). The positive expression rate of C-erbB-2 protein in breast cancer patients (54.84%, 34/62) was significantly higher than that in breast benign lesion patients (11.29%, 7/62), P＜0.01. Moreover, the positive expression rate of C-erbB-2 protein in breast cancer patients with axilla lymph node metastasis (69.44%) was significantly higher than that without axilla lymph node metastases (34.62%), P＜0.05. The serum VEGF level increased with increasing expression intensity of C-erbB-2 protein and there was positive correlation between them (r=0.813，P＜0.05). Conclusions The serum VEGF-C level in breast cancer may be conducted as an assisted marker to differential diagnosis of breast tumor. C-erbB-2 is related to lymph node metastasis of breast cancer patients. There is synergistic effect between VEGF-C and C-erbB-2 in the lymph node metastasis way of breast cancer.

Objective To determine feasibility of texture analysis of CT images for the discrimination of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) and liver metastases of colon cancer. Methods CT images of 9 patients with 19 pathologically proved HEHEs and 18 patients with 38 liver metastases of colon cancer who received treatment in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2012 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Thirty best texture parameters were automatically selected by the combination of Fisher coefficient (Fisher)+classification error probability combined with average correlation coefficients (PA)+mutual information (MI). The 30 texture parameters of arterial phase (AP) CT images were distributed in co-occurrence matrix (22 parameters), run-length matrix (1 parameter), histogram (4 parameters), gradient (1 parameter), and autoregressive model (2 parameters). The distribution of parameters in portal venous phase (PVP) were co-occurrence matrix (18 parameters), run-length matrix (2 parameters), histogram (7 parameters), gradient (2 parameters), and autoregressive model (1 parameter). In AP, the misclassification rates of raw data analysis (RDA)/K nearest neighbor classification (KNN), principal component analysis (PCA)/KNN, linear discriminant analysis (LDA)/KNN, and nonlinear discriminant analysis, and nonlinear discriminant analysis (NDA)/artificial neural network (ANN) was 38.60% (22/57), 42.11% (24/57), 8.77% (5/57), and 7.02% (4/57), respectively. In PVP, the misclassification rates of RDA/KNN, PCA/KNN, LDA/KNN, and NDA/ANN was 26.32% (15/57), 28.07% (16/57), 15.79% (9/57), and 10.53% (6/57), respectively. The misclassification rates of AP and PVP images had no statistical significance on the misclassification rates of RDA/KNN, PCA/KNN, LDA/KNN, and NDA/ANN between AP and PVP (P>0.05). Conclusion The texture analysis of CT images is feasible to identify HEHE and liver metastases of colon cancer.
ObjectiveTo elucidate the relationship between clinical characteristics and pathology findings of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). MethodsA retrospective cohort study was carried out on 231 SPN patients pathologically confirmed between January 2009 and December 2013 in Nanjing General Hospital of Fuzhou Military Command and Fuzhou Second Hospital. Using pathological results as reference standard, the sex, age, smoking history, smoking amount, quit smoking history, and extrapulmonary malignant tumor history were compared between the SPN patients with different pathological type. ResultsFemale and age were positively correlated with the probability of malignancy in SPN with correlation coefficients as 1.090 and 0.063 respectively. Extrapulmonary malignant tumor history, smoking history, smoking amount, quit smoking history did not show significant relationship. Gender was a factor that affects pathological types of SPN. Female patients were in higher risk than male patients to have precancerous lesions, pulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma, adenocarcinoma. Male patients had higher risk suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary cryptococcosis, squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, inflammatory pseudotumor and metastases. Distribution of SPN pathologic types in each age group was similar. Most patients who had precancerous lesions, pulmonary hamartoma, pulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma, adenocarcinoma and inflammatory pseudotumor were not smokers. ConclusionsGender and age are valuable in distinguishing benign SPN from malignant SPN. Pathologic types of SPN are related to patients' gender and smoking history.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of contrastenhanced ultrasonography in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant breast mass. MethodsTotally 65 patients with 70 breast masses were evaluated by general ultrasonography and contrastenhanced ultrasonography with contrast agent SonoVue. The related indexes, such as the degree and mode of contrast enhancement, the lesion boundaries and dissipation mode, were used to describe the difference between benign and malignant mass, which was also compared with pathological results. ResultsHistopathological examination revealed that benign mass was in 37 cases and malignant in 28 cases. The sensitivity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of contrastenhanced ultrasonography with contrast agent SonoVue were significantly higher than that of general ultrasonography (Plt;0.05), while no significant difference in diagnostic specificity and misdiagnosis rate was observed between them (Pgt;0.05). All tumors showed contrast enhancement in various degrees. Of 28 patients with enhanced mass, hyperenhancement in 22 cases and nodular inhomogeneous enhancement in 21 cases were observed and the boundaries of malignant tumor were irregular with ill-defined and radial enhancement. Most of benign tumors were represented by weak, homogeneous enhancement, and the shape was regular with smooth and tidy boundary and intact capsule except seven cases with unclear boundary. These imaging characteristics of benign and malignant tumors were obviously different (P=0.000). In the resolution phase, both benign and malignant mass showed heterogeneous or homogeneous dissipation, which was not significantly different (P=0.791). ConclusionCompared with general ultrasonography, contrast enhanced ultrasonography may be more helpful for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.

Objective To compare the clinicopathological features of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) and hilar benign diseases, and then explore the value of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the differential diagnosis between them. Methods Clinical data of 65 patients (54 patients with HCCA and 11 patients with hilar benign diseases) who were diagnosed as HCCA and received treatment from January 2011 to October 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Comparison of clinical data of HCCA patients and patients with hilar benign diseases in age, gender, disease duration, clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, and imaging examination was performed, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to explore the value of CA19-9 and CEA in differential diagnosis between hilar benign diseases and HCCA. Results The age, levels of serum CA19-9, CEA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (BILT), and direct bilirubin (BILD) of HCCA group were significantly higher than that in benign group (P<0.05). However, the gender, disease duration, clinical manifestations (including jaundice, abdominal discomfort, fever, and weight loss), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), and imaging findings (including hilar mass, intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, thickening of the bile duct wall, lymph node enlargement, vascular invasion, and gallbladder invasion) had no significant difference between the 2 groups (P>0.05). The ROC curve results showed that, when cut-off point for CA19-9 was 233.15 U/mL, the sensitivity was 56% and specificity was 91%; when cut-off point for CEA was 2.98 ng/mL, the sensitivity was 61% and specificity was 90%. Conclusions For the differential diagnosis between HCCA and hilar benign diseases, the elderly patients with high levels of serum transaminase and bilirubin were more likely to be malignant. It is more likely to be malignant when the serum CA19-9>233.15 U/mL or CEA>2.98 ng/mL.
