ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the image quality of sinus coronal CT scan before and after the involvement of quality control circle (QCC) to explore QCC's effect.Methods A QCC team was founded in April 2014,in which 10 key steps of QCC activities were executed,and the related data from April to November 2014 were analyzed to determine the effect of QCC on coronary sinus CT examination.Results The rate of excellent film was increased from 69.5％ to 96.3％ after the involvement of QCC,and the desired requirement was met.Conclusion QCC contributes to improving coronary sinus CT examination and enhancing the ability of the members,and thus is worthy promoting clinically.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore coronary CT three-dimensional post-processing standardized display and the construction of digital teaching platform. Methods The conventional display positions of 3D post-processing image were summarized during daily coronary CTA examination, the common place was refined. The construction mode was explored for CTA digital teaching demonstration platform. Results Coronary CTA 3D post-processing standardized display with common and individual property contributed to enhancing the display of coronary images. The CTA digital teaching demonstration platform met the teaching requirements. Conclusion The coronary CT 3D post-processing standardized display and digital teaching platform facilitate the student to master related knowledge.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the expressions of differential proteins in the expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) of patients with III A chronic prostatitis and healthy men.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We collected EPS samples from 35 patients with III A chronic prostatitis and 18 age-matched healthy men, and detected the differentially expressed proteins in EPS by MALDI-TOF/MS. Based on the data obtained, we conducted a statistical analysis on the mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios of different proteins and a retrieval analysis on the relevant proteins using the protein database.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the comparative studies of the III A chronic prostatitis patients and healthy men, 5 proteins were detected as at least 2-fold differentially expressed, which were probably brevinin-2Eg, big endothelin-1, alpha-defensin 15, beta-defensin 134 and prostatic steroid-binding protein C2. The m/z ratios were significantly up-regulated in 3 372, 3 487, 425 and 5 325 Da proteins (P < 0.01) and down-regulated in 10631Da (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Proteins are differentially expressed in the EPS of III A chronic prostatitis patients and healthy men, and these proteins may be significantly correlated with the development and progression of III A chronic prostatitis.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the clinical features and treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma (SCL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a case of SCL, reviewed the related literature and investigated the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patient underwent tumor resection and left inguinal orchidectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed the case to be s SCL. Neither recurrence nor metastasis was found during the five-month follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SCL is a rare medical condition with no specific imaging and laboratory features. Radical orchidectomy with wide local excision of the mass is recommended for its treatment, and adjuvant radiotherapy can be considered in intermediately or highly differentiated tumors and recurrent liposarcomas, while the role of chemotherapy is not well-defined.</p>
