The results of spiral CT were compared with those of UGI and FG. Two observers blindly evaluated images of spiral CT and UGI and video recording of FG with consensus in terms of diagnostic confidence with a five-point scale.Sensitivities of lesion detection, Borrmann′s classification of spiral CT, UGI and FG, as well as the accuracy of TNM staging of spiral CT were determined by comparing them to surgical and histological findings.RESULTS: The lesion detection rate was 98 % (59/60),95 % (57/60) and 98 % (59/60) for spiral CT, UGI and FG,respectively. There were no statistical differences in the detection sensitivity among the three techniques (P>0.05).For the sensitivity in Borrmann′s classification, spiral CT was higher than that of UGI (P=0.025) and similar to that of FG (P>0.05). The accuracy of spiral CT in staging the gastric carcinoma was 76.7 %. Six cases of early gastric carcinoma were all detected by spiral CT as well as FG.CONCLUSION: Spiral CT is equivalent to UGI and FG in the detection of gastric carcinoma, and superior to UGI but similar to FG in the Borrmann′s classification of advanced gastric carcinoma. Spiral CT is more valuable than FG in the staging of gastric carcinoma.展开更多

This study assesses optimum triage strategies for careHPV-positive women in LRS. Methods: A total of 2,530 Chinese women were concurrently screened for cervical cancer with visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), liquid-based cytology and HPV testing by physician- and self-collected careHPV, and physician-collected Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2). Screen-positive women were referred to colposcopy with biopsy and endocervical curettage as necessary. HPV-positivity was defined as _〉1.0 relative light units/cutoff (RLU/CO) for both careHPV and HC2. Primary physician-HC2, physician-careHPV and self-careHPV and in sequential screening with cytology, VIA, or increased HPV test-positivity performance, stratified by age, were assessed for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2/3 or worse (CIN2/3+) detection. Results: The sensitivities and specificities of primary HPV testing for CIN2+ were: 83.8%, 88.1% for physician- careHPV; 72. 1%, 88.2% for self-careHPV; and 97.1%, 86.0% for HC2. Physician-careHPV test-positive women with VIA triage had a sensitivity of 30.9% for CIN2+ versus 80.9% with cytology triage. Self-careHPV test- positive women with VIA triage was 26.5% versus 66.2 % with cytology triage. The sensitivity of HC2 test-positive women with VIA triage was 38.2 % versus 92.6% with cytology triage. The sensitivity of physician-careHPV testing for CIN2+ decreased from 83.8% at _〉1.0 RLU/CO to 72.1% at _〉10.00 RLU/CO, while the sensitivity of self- careHPV testing decreased from 72.1% at _〉1.0 RLU/CO to 32.4% at _〉10.00 RLU/CO; similar trends were seen with age-stratification. Conclusions: VIA and cytology triage improved specificity for CIN2/3 than no triage. Sensitivity with VIA triage was unsuitable for a mass-screening program. VIA provider training might improve this strategy. Cytology triage could be feasible where a high-quality cytology program exists. Triage of HPV test-positive women by increased test positivity cutoff adds another LRS triage option.展开更多

Therefore, in the construction of the standardized sand and gravel plant project, no matter from the aspects of river dredging methods, selection of dredging equipment, mine remediation, mine hazard removal, and production wastewater discharge, etc., factors such as geographical environment, water body characteristics, types and contents of pollutants at the location of the river project should be comprehensively considered. Following the principle of green ecology can play a very good role in optimizing ecology, adhere to the basic national policy of saving resources and protecting the environment, and promote the ecology of green development, circular development and low-carbon development.展开更多
