ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the causes of misdiagnosis of B-ultrasonography in thyroid nodule and the function of B-ultrasonography in diagnosis in thyroid nodule.Methods 307 patients with thyroid nodule were analysis between the diagnosis of B-ultrasonography and pathology.Results The diagnosis of B-ultrasonography was different from the diagnosis of pathology in thyroid nodule. If the thyroid nodule found by B-ultrasonography was multiple, it was nodular goiter; If the thyroid nodule found by B-ultrasonography was single, the ratio of nodular goiter and thyroid adenoma was 3∶2.Conclusions Clinical physician did not grant the diagnosis of B-ultrasonagraphy as clinical diagnosis. Most of multiple thyroid nodules were nodular goiter, single mass may be nodular goiter or thyroid adenoma. When the diagnosis of B-ultrasonagraphy was thyroid occupation, it may be malignant thyroid neoplasm.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the use of ductography.Method A review of 51 patients with presenting complaints of nipple discharge from January 1998 to May 2000 was conducted. Pathology and ductograms were reviewed.Result Ductography had a definite value in the diagnosis of nipple discharge, the sensitiveity was 84.3%.Conclusion Ductography had value to locate and identify leisions, especially multiple leisions and leisions in the periphery of the breast, but it did not exclude pathology.
ABSTRACT
Purpose:To investigate the telomerase activity in human digestive tract cancer and its significance and evaluate usefulness of the TRAP ELISA method .Methods:Telomerase activity was examined in 112 tumor specimens, including the following cancers: esophageal(12), gastric(36), hepatic(15), pancreatic (11), colorectal(38) and paracancerous tissues(94) by TRAP ELISA method.Results:The telomerase activity in tumor tissues was significantly higher than in paracancerous and normal tissues ( P
