We report a case of cardiac metastasis from colorectal cancer. A 70-year-old woman was referred with a presumptive diagnosis of sigmoid colon cancer with cardiac myxoma. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed a 4 cm x 4.5 cm mobile mass on the lateral right atrial wall, and computed tomography revealed a low attenuated Iobulating mass in the right atrium. The patient underwent anterior resection for sigmoid colon cancer (T4N2). Thereafter, she experienced progressive shortness of breath. Therefore, a cardiac operation was performed 2 wk after the colorectal operation. Histological examination revealed adenocarcinoma, which was identical to the primary lesion. Although two- dimensional echocardiography has become the diagnostic test of choice for detecting cardiac tumors, in patients with colorectal cancer showing a cardiac mass, further diagnostic evaluation such as a magnetic resonance imaging might be necessary.展开更多

[Method ] Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillus niger in different concentrations were tested in different ultrasonic powers and times for the broken effects.[ Result ] Eschedchia coil and Staphylococcus aureus were more sensitive to ultrasonication and the broken rates were as high as 96%. Aspergillus niger, however, was not so sensitive and the broken rate was only about 40%. The optimum parameters, including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time and OD, of Escherichia coli were 600 W, 14 rain and 0.997, of Staphylococcus aureus were 600 W, 15 min and 1.440, and of Aspergillus ni- ger were 700 W, 20 min and 0.893, respectively. [ Conclusion] The research provided references for application of ultrasonic technology in food sterilization.展开更多
