ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of 3.0T MRI in preoperative diagnosis and staging of elderly cervical carcinoma.Methods Totally 73 patients were enrolled in this trial.The MRI features of cervical carcinoma and invasion of adjacent tissue were evaluated,the correlation of MRI staging and pathological staging was studied.Results MRI showed lesions in 73 patients,the accuracy of diagnosis for uterine cervical carcinoma was 100.0 ％,for parametrial invasion was 94.2 ％.The results of MRI staging of 52 cases showed the accuracy was 88.5％ (46 cases) as compared with postoperative pathology.The correlation between the MRI and postoperative pathology in the stages of Ⅰ B,Ⅱ A and Ⅱ B uterine cervical cancer was very well(x2 ＝ 61.43,P＜0.01),the consistency of MRI in the diagnosis of uterine cervical cancer in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ with postoperative pathology was extremely strong(100％).Conclusions The accuracy of diagnosis and staging for uterine cervical carcinoma is high in MRI imaging.
ABSTRACT
Background Rosuvastatin has been unanimously recognized as an very highly efficacious statin. Rosuvastatin significantly reduced microalbuminuria and its powerful anti-inflammatory effect confer anti-atherosclerosis in patients with essential hypertension. Objective To study the influence of rosuvastatin on microalbuminuria and arteriosclerosis plaque of carotid and coronary arteries in hypertensive patients. Methods Seventy-six hypertensive patients were randomly to receive conventional anti-hypertensive drugs (amlodipine 5 mg/d and telmisartan 80 mg/d,n=37) or rosuvastatin (10 mg QN) on the top of conventional anti-hypertensive drugs (n=39). The blood pressure,levels of microalbuminuria,echocardiography and helical computerized tomography were examined before and 8 months after treatment in all patients. Results After 8 months of treatment,SBP and DBP were decreased in both group [conventional treatment from (166.3?11.2)/(92.4?8.2) to (133.6?9.8)/(85.5?6.1)mmHg,combined group from (165.6?10.5)/(91.5?6.7) to (128.1?9.2)/(81.1?5.9)mmHg]. Combined treatment significantly reduced the levels of microalbuminuria [(31.6?21.8) to (23.2?19.8)mg/g,P
