RESUMO
Objective To explore the value of shear wave elastrography (SWE) in diagnosis of prostate cancer.Methods SWE quantitative elastography was preformed in 55 patients with suspected prostate cancer,to obtain the elastic modulus (mean,maximum).Each patient underwent sonography-guided prostatic biopsy on the same day.With the pathologic results as reference,ROC curves were used to assess diagnostic performance.Results ①Pathological tests showed that 39 lesions were benign(hyperplasia) and 16 lesions were malignant.The mean elasticity value of benign lesions was (39.04 ± 8.22) kPa,and the maximum value was (54.10 ± 9.18)kPa,whereas of malignant ones were (53.31 ± 3.92)kPa and (68.71 ±2.57)kPa,respectively (P ＜0.05).② The area under the ROC curve (AZ) of the maximum and mean elasticity value was 0.951 and 0.944.Taking 48.07 kPa as the threshold of the mean elasticity value,the sensitivity was 91.8％ and the specificity was 89.7％.Then taking 65.50 kPa as the threshold of the maximum elasticity value,the sensitivity was 92.1％ and the specificity was 87.5％.Conclusions SWE is helpful to diagnose and differentiate prostate diseases by measuring elastic modulus.
RESUMO
Objective To study the occurrence of apoptosis in acute rejection of hamster-to-rat liver transplantation and the molecular mechanism. Methods On the basis of establishment of hamster-to-rat orthotopic liver transplantation, the apoptosis in xenograft were observed by histology and in situ end-lebelling of fragmented DNA;the expression of Fas-L and TGF-?1 were observed by Immunohistochemistry. Rseults In acute rejection of liver xenograft, the apoptosis of hepatocyte was detectable, meanwhile, the expression of Fas-L and TGF-?1 were found. The more severe apoptosis, the more severe acute rejection , and the more expression of Fas-L and TGF-?1 . Conclusions Apoptosis as a mechanism of cell death exists in the acute rejection of liver xenograft, and it is closely related to the expression of TGF-?1 and Fas-L.
