摘要:目的:应用区域阻抗法测定慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者的肺血流灌注及肺通气分布的变化,与放射性核素肺显像方法比较,探讨肺区域阻抗方法的临床应用价值。 方法: 测定对象为18例中重度COPD患者,均为男性,平均年龄63.8岁,应用肺区域阻抗法及放射性核素法,分别测定肺血流灌注及肺通气的分布。〖HTH〗结果〖HTSS〗: 本研究发现肺区域阻抗法在测定肺血流灌注分布方面,仅在左下肺区域高于核素法测得的数值(Plt;0.05),余肺区测定结果相近,无显著差异。在肺通气的测定方面,阻抗法所得数值与核素法测得的数值有一定的不同,在左上、右上区域高于核素法测得的数值,在左中肺区测得的数值低于核素法测得的数值(Plt;0.05),余肺区测定结果相近,无显著差异。结论: 虽然目前区域阻抗方法暂不能取代放射性核素的测定,但作为一种辅助手段,可简便、快速了解肺内的通气、血流等生理病理改变。Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the clinical capability of regional electric impedance pneumograph and scintigraphy in measurement of pulmonary perfusion and ventilation in patients with COPD. Methods: Thirtytwo patients with different respiratory diseases underwent regional electric impedance pneumograph and scintigraphy, the pulmonary perfusion and ventilation were obtained and recorded. Results:The pulmonary perfusion results got by regional electric impedance pneumograph in the left lower region was lower than the results measured by scintigraphy, there were significant difference (Plt;0.05), and no difference in other pulmonary region. The pulmonary ventilation results got by regional electric impedance pneumograph in the both upper region were higher and in the left middle region were lower than the results measured by scintigraphy, there were significant difference(Plt;0.05), and no difference in other pulmonary region. Conclusion:The result got by regional electric impedance pneumograph could not replace the result got by scintigraphy at present, but this is a quick, simple,and convenient measurement to get parameter of the pulmonary perfusion and ventilation.
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic significance and to analyze reasons of false negative cases forpreoperative ultrasonography， 99Tcm-sestamibi scintigraphy （MIBI scintigraphy）， and CT in primary hyperparathyroidism（PHPT）. Methods Clinical data of 69 patients with PHPT， who underwent operation in Affiliated Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between Jan. 2003 and Aug. 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were 76 parathyroid lesions in 69 PHPT patients proved by operation and pathology， including 58 cases of parathyroid adenoma with 60 lesions， 7 cases of parathyroid hyperplasia with 11 lesions， and 4 cases of parathyroid carcinoma with 5 lesions. The sensitivity of ultrasonography， CT， and 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy were 81.94% （59/72）， 61.76% （21/34）， and 69.57% （16/23）， the accuracy of 3 kinds of tests were 78.67% （59/75）， 61.76% （21/34）， and 66.67% （16/24）， the positive predictive value were 95.16% （59/62）， 100% （21/21）， and 94.12% （16/17） respectively. There was significant differ-ence only between ultrasonography and CT in sensitivity （P=0.03）， no other significant difference was found （P＞0.05）.Conclusions Ultrasonography is complementary to 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy， but CT has little significance in diagnosis of PHPT. Both of ultrasonography and 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy should be used before operation routinely to localize parathyroid lesions.
Objective To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of 99mTc-MDP three-phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) combined with C-reactive protein (CRP) for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). MethodsThe clinical data of 198 patients who underwent revision surgery of artificial joint between January 2017 and January 2024 and received TPBS examination before surgery were retrospectively analyzed. There were 77 males and 121 females with an average age of 63.74 years ranging from 24 to 92 years. There were 90 cases of hip arthroplasty and 108 cases of knee arthroplasty. PJI was diagnosed according to the 2013 American Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) standard diagnostic criteria. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predict value (PPV) were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the diagnostic performance of the three methods, and the area under curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance. ResultsAccording to the 2013 MSIS criteria, 116 cases were diagnosed as PJI, and the remaining 82 cases were aseptic loosening. The cases of PJI diagnosed by TPBS, CRP, and TPBS-CRP were 125, 109, and 137 respectively, and the cases of aseptic loosening were 73, 89, and 61 respectively. The sensitivity, accuracy, NPV, and PPV of TPBS-CRP combination in the diagnosis of PJI were higher than those of TPBS and CRP, but the specificity was lower than that of TPBS and CRP. ROC curve analysis further showed that the AUC value of TPBS-CRP combination was better than that of TPBS and CRP. The severity of bone defect and the duration of symptoms in patients with false positive TPBS diagnosis were worse than those in patients with true negative TPBS diagnosis (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the survival time of prosthesis between the two groups (P>0.05). Among the patients diagnosed with PJI by TPBS, CRP, and TPBS-CRP, 49, 35, and 54 patients had received antibiotic treatment 2 weeks before diagnosis, respectively. There was no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy of TPBS and TPBS-CRP before diagnosis between patients treated with and without antibiotics and those not treated (P>0.05). The diagnostic accuracy of antibiotic therapy before CRP diagnosis was significantly lower than that of untreated patients (P<0.05). Conclusion TPBS and CRP have limited specificity in differentiating PJI from aseptic loosening. The TPBS-CRP combination diagnostic method can synergize the local bone metabolic characteristics and systemic inflammatory response to achieve higher diagnostic accuracy, but caution should be exercised in patients with severe bone defects and longer symptom duration.
