Résumé
Objective To evaluate the values of visual inspection with acetic acid( VIA) and human papillomavirus( HPV) and thinprep cytology test( TCT) in the screening of cervical cancer.Methods VIA,HPV test and TCT in 946 women was conducted.Cervical biopsy or endocenical curettage( ECC) was performed in VIA positive women or HPV positive women or TCT positive women. The pathologic outcome was as the gold standard,and the out come more and equal to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia( CIN) Ⅱ were identified as positive.Results There was no significant difference among three groups in sensitivity rate( 73.l％,96.2,88.5％ ) and negative predictive value ( 99. 1％ ,99.9％ ,99.7％ ) ( all P ＞ 0.05 ).The specificity rate (97.5％ ) and positive predictive value ( 50.O％ ) of TCT was better than those of HPV ( 93.5％,29.4％ ),and HPV was better than those of VIA( 87.0％,13.7％ ),and the difference had statistifical significance among three groups ( x2 =71.34,26.00,22.17,8.28,all P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Although the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis rate was higher than that of HPV and TCT,but VIA seems to be appropriate methods in the screening of cervical cancer owing to its low price.
Résumé
Objective To evaluate the value of upright standing myelography in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods One hundred and ninety six patients with LDH diagnosed by CT or MRI were examined by upright standing myelography before surgery. Results The most diagnosis of myelography were accorded with CT or MRI, but 7 patients of myelography with LDH at L4-5 showed compression of nerve roots, while the images of these on CT or MRI only showed disc bulge or protrusion without nerve root compression. Conclusions Myelography in the upright standing position is perhaps superior to CT or MRI for the diagnosis of LDH, especially LDH at L4-5 with nerve root compression.
