ABSTRACT
To explore the application value of low-dose CT in lung cancer after operation in a short-term review by comparing conventional and low-dose CT. Methods:In 83 cases of lung cancer during the immediate postoperative period review, 50 cases (group A) underwent conventional CT scanning, whereas 33 cases (group B) underwent low-dose CT scanning. All CT scans were scored on the basis of image quality and clinical needs. The radiation dose indexes CTDIvol and DLP were recorded for each case. A comparison of the score and radiation dose between the two groups helped determine the existence of significant differences. Results:The average image quality scores of the two groups were 3.705±0.314 and 3.311±0.442, those for clinical demand were 2.670±0.373 and 2.561±0.410, those for CTDIvol were (19.248±1.532) mGy and (10.138±1.113) mGy, and those for DLP were (170.180±19.259) mGy*cm and (99.061±14.504) mGy*cm. The two groups exhibited significant differences in image quality, CTDIvol, and DLP but revealed no significant dissimilarity in clinical demand. Conclusion:Low-dose CT completely meets the clinical requirements for short-term follow-up after resection of lung cancer and significant reduction in radiation dose.
ABSTRACT
The effects of propanoic acid accumulation on the growth and acid production of Propionibacterium shermanii are reported in this paper, the glucose consumption, acid production and cell growth curve are measured in the batch fermentation process with 6%glucose serves as carbon source and pH value controlled at 6 5 If 1%, 3%, and 6% propanoic acid are added to the broth 24 hours after inoculation, the cell dry weights obtained at the end of the fermentation change to 75 3%, 65 4%, 52 9% of the CK respectively, at the same time, the acid accumulation becomes 79 3%, 69 2%, 39 3% of the CK respectively But even 6% propanoic acid is added, the glucose consumption and acid production could not be stopped completely The cell dry weight increased 60% if part of the propanoic acid is removed from the broth and replaced by fresh medium
