Prospective analysis of the prognostic value of prenatal MRI measurement of cystic volume ratio in fetal congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.

Background: The cystic volume ratio (CVR) has been used to predict the prognosis of fetal lung disease, but most of them are reported on ultrasound. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of CVR in fetal congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM).

Methods: To collect follow-up data on postnatally confirmed CCAM fetuses.

Usefulness of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging in differential diagnosis of fetal congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation and bronchopulmonary sequestration.

Background: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) are the most common lung diseases in fetuses. There are differences in the prognosis and treatment of CCAM and BPS, and the clinical diagnosis and treatment plan is usually prepared prior to birth. Therefore, it is quite necessary to make a clear diagnosis before delivery.

[Acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) as adjuvant treatment for pneumonia of phlegm-heat blocking lung type in children: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) as adjuvant treatment for pneumonia of phlegm-heat blocking lung type in children.

Methods: A total of 80 children with pneumonia of phlegm-heat blocking lung type were randomized into an observation group (40 cases, 1 case dropped off) and a control group (40 cases). In the control group, routine anti-infection and symptomatic and supportive treatment were given.

Development of death education training content for adult cancer patients: A mixed methods study.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this mixed methods study was to develop science-based content for a systematic death education training system based on the needs of adult cancer patients. The study contained two parts: survey development and Delphi survey. First, a small sample test was conducted to check the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.

Validation of the Chinese version of EORTC QLQ-BM22 in patients with bone metastases.

Purpose: Our aim is to test the validity, reliability, and acceptability of the Chinese version of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Bone Metastases 22 (EORTC QLQ-BM22) module to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with bone metastases in China.

Methods: Patients with histological confirmation of malignancy and bone metastases from Tianjin Cancer Institution and Hospital from June 2013 to April 2014 were enrolled in this study. All patients self-administered the EORTC QLQ-BM22 and the EORTC QLQ-C30.
