Application of Computed Tomographic Colonography in Diagnosis of Colonic Polyps

Objective To assess the clinical values of computed tomographic colonography （CTC） in diagnosis of colonic polyps. Methods Forty-two patients who were clinically suspicious of colonic polyps or underwent colonic polyps screening received examinations with both CTC and conventional colonoscopy. Sixteen- or 64-slice spiral computed tomography and professional imaging processing techniques were used for evaluation. Per-polyp and per-patient results were analyzed. Those by per-polyp were subsequently divided into ≥10 mm group, 5-10 mm group, and ≤5 mm group. Sensitivity, positive predictive value （PPV）, specificity, negative predictive value （NPV）, and accuracy were calculated using statistical method for diagnostic studies, with conventional colonoscopy as a gold standard. Results Ninety and 61 polyps were found by CTC and conventional colonoscopy, respectively. The per-polyp sensitivity/PPV were 80.3%/55.6% in total, and 100%/92.9%, 93.8%/65.2%, and 68.8%/ 41.5% in the ≥10 mm group, 5-10 mm group, and ≤5 turn group, respectively. The per-patient sensitivity, PPV, specificity, NPV, and accuracy were 97.1%, 89.5%, 42.9%, 75.0%, and 88.1%, respectively. Conclusion CTC can clearly reveal the morphology of colonic polyps and be used as a routine monitoring method for the clinical diagnosis of polyps.

The Significance of Minimally Invasive Core Needle Biopsy and Immunohistochemistry Analysis in 235 Cases with Breast Lesions

OBJECTIVE To evaluate core needle biopsy (CNB) as a mini-mally invasive method to examine breast lesions and discuss theclinical significance of subsequent immunohistochemistry (IHC)analysis.METHODS The clinical data and pathological results of 235 pa-tients with breast lesions, who received CNB before surgery, wereanalyzed and compared. Based on the results of CNB done beforesurgery, 87 out of 204 patients diagnosed as invasive carcinomawere subjected to immunodetection for p53, c-erbB-2, ER and PR.The morphological change of cancer tissues in response to chemo-therapy was also evaluated.RESULTS In total of 235 cases receiving CNB examination, 204were diagnosed as invasive carcinoma, reaching a 100% consistentrate with the surgical diagnosis. Sixty percent of the cases diag-nosed as non-invasive carcinoma by CNB was identified to havethe presence of invading elements in surgical specimens, and simi-larly, 50% of the cases diagnosed as atypical ductal hyperplasia byCNB was confirmed to be carcinoma by the subsequent result ofexcision biopsy. There was no significant difference between theCNB biopsy and regular surgical samples in positive rate of im-munohistochemistry analysis (p53, c-erbB-2, ER and PR; P >0.05).However, there was significant difference in the expression rate ofp53 and c-erbB-2 between the cases with and without morphologi-cal change in response to chemotherapy (P < 0.05). In most caseswith p53 and c-erbB-2 positive, there was no obvious morphologi-cal change after chemotherapy.CONCLUSION CNB is a cost-effective diagnostic method withminimal invasion for breast lesions, although it still has some limi-tations. Immunodetection on CNB tissue is expected to have greatsignificance in clinical applications.

In refractory hydrothorax patients, they were 69% and 40% （P 〈 0.05）, respectively.In vitro results correlated well with clinical outcomes （P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion： Effective rate of chemotherapy for hydrothorax in NSCLC is higher in treatment group than that in control group. ATP-TCA is especially helpful for refractory hydrothorax.

Use of gated myocardial perfusion imaging to assess clinical value of Xinmailong injection in chronic congestive heart failure

OBJECTIVE: This study used gated myocardial perfusion imaging(G-MPI) to assess the clinical value of Xinmailong injection in chronic congestive heart failure(CHF).METHODS: A total of 102 CHF patients were randomly divided into the control group(n=51) and the Xinmailong group(n=51). Patients in the control group were routinely treated. Patients in the Xinmailong group were additionally treated with Xinmailong injection in addition to routine treatment. Before and 3 months after treatment, G-MPI was used to determine changes in the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV) and left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV). Fourteen days after treatment, changes in plasma brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) levels were determined.RESULTS: Before treatment, there were no significant differences in LVEF, LVEDV, LVESV, and BNP levels between the two groups(all P>0.05). After treatment, LVEDV, LVESV, and BNP levels were significantly lower, and LVEF was significantly higher in the Xinmailong group than in the control group(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Additional use of Xinmailong injection in addition to routine treatment improves cardiac function of CHF patients. Because of the safety and effectiveness of Xinmailong injection, this therapy should be promoted.

BATE curve in assessment of clinical utility of predictive biomarkers

In this paper, for time-to-event data, we propose a new statistical framework for casual inference in evaluating clinical utility of predictive biomarkers and in selecting an optimal treatment for a particular patient. This new casual framework is based on a new concept, called Biomarker Adjusted Treatment Effect （BATE） curve. The BATE curve can be used for assessing clinical utility of a predictive biomarker, for designing a subsequent confirmation trial, and for guiding clinical practice. We then propose semi-p^rametric methods for estimating the BATE curves of biomarkers and establish asymptotic results of the proposed estimators for the BATE curves. We also conduct extensive simulation studies to evaluate finite-sample properties of the proposed estimation methods. Finally, we illustrate the application of the proposed method in a real-world data set.
