BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to investigate the ultrasound and hematological indicators, subsequently utilizing them to predict breast cancer and construct predictive models and columnar plots.METHODS:The clinical data of 200 patients with breast tumors receiving ultrasound and blood tests at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were collected. Patients were divided into training and validation sets at a 6:4 ratio using R language. Variables were screened using logistic regression, and a nomogram predicting breast cancer probability was constructed based on the training set. The predictive performance of the nomogram was evaluated in the validation set through receiver operating characteristic, calibration and decision curves. Model robustness was validated by bootstrap resampling.RESULTS:Regression analysis revealed that maximum blood flow velocity within the breast mass ≥ 16.395 m/s, perfusion index ≥ 1.505, cancer antigen 15-3 ≥ 39.620 U/m, cancer antigen 125 ≥ 42.30 U/ml, carcinoembryonic antigen ≥ 6.520 ng/ml, Adler blood flow classification II & III, breast calcification present, and diameter of the lump > 2 cm were independent risk factors for breast cancer. Based on these ultrasonic parameters and blood indicators, the developed nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination in both the training set (AUC = 0.917) and validation set (AUC = 0.844). The calibration plot showed high consistency between the nomogram-predicted and the actual results. Decision curve analysis indicated higher net benefit of this model.CONCLUSIONS:The nomogram developed in this study demonstrated solid predictive abilities for breast malignancy, indicating potential clinical value pending further research.
目的 探讨眼周皮脂腺癌(periocularsebaceous gland carcinoma,PSGC)的临床及超声影像特征,评价高频超声相关参数在预测PSGC预后中的应用价值.方法 选取本院行超声检查并经术后病理确诊的36例PSGC患者(共36个病灶)资料,根据随访患者术后复发情况,分析复发组(11例)和未复发组(25例)间患者的性别、年龄、病程、病灶位置和大小、病理分型及超声声像图表现等相关参数.结果 36例患者中平均复发率为30.1%.单因素分析显示:患者的病程时间、病灶的位置、形态、液化、血流分级、峰值流速、阻力指数及病理分型在复发组和未复发组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);而性别、病灶大小(最大径>15mm)、病灶内钙化与PSGC复发相关,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).采用ROC曲线分析病灶大小对PSGC术后复发的诊断效能,AUC为0.818,当截断值为15mm时特异性为88.0%,敏感性为72.7%,Youden指数为0.607.两因素分析显示:通过调整协变量后,病灶大小诊断复发与否的ROC曲线下面积为0.765,95%CI为(0.573,0.958).结论 高频超声检查有助于PSGC的诊断,超声声像图多表现为低回声包块,中心放射状丰富血流为其特征.病灶大小、有无钙化在评估眼周皮质腺癌复发中有一定的预测价值.

Objective To evaluate the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with cervical cancer after chemotherapy by layer-specific strain. Methods 90 patients with cervical carcinoma after surgery were enrolled, including 30 patients treated with chemotherapy for 3 months, 30 patients treated with chemotherapy for 6 months and 30 patients without chemotherapy as a control group. Conventional echocardiographic parameters were collected. The global longitudinal peak strain and circumferential peak strain were assessed from endocardium, mid-myocardium, and epicardium (LS-endo, LS-mid, LS-epi, CS-endo, CS-mid, CS-epi) by layer-specific strain. Results LS-endo, LS-mid, LS-epi, CS-endo, CS-mid, CS-epi, e′ in patients with chemotherapy for 6 months and 3 months were lower than those in control group (all P<0. 05). LS-endo, CS-endo, e′ in patients with chemotherapy for 6 months showed significantly decrease than patients with chemotherapy for 3 months (both P<0.05). Compared to the control group, E/e' significantly increased in patients treated with chemotherapy for 3 months (P<0.05), and E/e' further increased in patients treated with chemotherapy for 6 months (P<0.05). Conclusion Two-dimensional speckle tracking (2 D-STI) layer-specific strain can early evaluate the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with cervical carcinoma after chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the application value of three-dimensional shear wave elastography( 3D-SWE) in diagnosis of malignant and benign breast masses . Methods Sixty-seven patients with total 96 masses diagnosed by ultrasound and verified with surgical pathological analysis were selected . The masses were divided into benign group ( 54 masses ) and malignant group ( 42 masses ) . The quantitative diagnosis was performed using two-dimensional shear wave elastography ( 2D-SWE) and 3D-SWE to evaluate the hardness of the masses . Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curves of 2D-SWE and 3D-SWE were drawn to calculate the sensibility and specificity in diagnosis of breast masses . The qualitative diagnosis was performed according to the elastic color image classification to classify the elastic images of the lesions into type Ⅰ - Ⅳ . Results The quantitative diagnosis:① There were significant differences in Emean ,Emax and SD on planes of 2D-SWE and three orthogonal planes of 3D-SWE between the two groups ( P <0 .05) ;② There was no significant difference in Emean ,Emax and SD of two groups between 2D-SWE and 3D-SWE ( P > 0 .05) ;③ Emean ,Emax and SD on planes of 2D-SWE and three orthogonal planes of 3D- SWE both exhibited high diagnostic performance . However , there was no significant difference in Emean ,Emax and SD between 2D-SWE and 3D-SWE ( P >0 .05) . The qualitative diagnosis of elastic color mode:type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ account for most planes of 2D-SWE and three orthogonal planes of 3D-SWE in benign masses ,while type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ account for most in malignant masses . Among the malignant group ,type Ⅲ on the 3D-SWE coronal planes was significantly more than other three types ( P < 0 .05) .Conclusions For quantitative diagnosis ,2D-SWE and 3D-SWE are both beneficial to differentiate benign from malignant masses ,but there is no difference in diagnostic efficacy ;for qualitative diagnosis ,3D-SWE can provide more diagnostic information than 2D-SWE ,especially on the coronal planes of 3D-SWE .
