METHODS: A total of 65 patients with hematochezia who underwent colonoscopy and barium enema were analyzed, and the diagnostic value of colonoscopy for diverticula was assessed. The receiver operating characteristic area under the curve was compared in relation to age (< 70 or ≥ 70 years), sex, and colon location. The number of diverticula was counted, and the detection ratio was calculated. RESULTS: Colonic diverticula were observed in 46 patients with barium enema. Colonoscopy had a sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 90%. No significant differences were found in the receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC-AUC) for age group or sex. The ROC-AUC of the left colon was significantly lower than that of the right colon (0.81 vs 0.96, P=0.02). Colonoscopy identified 486 colonic diverticula, while barium enema identified 1186. The detection ratio for the entire colon was therefore 0.41 (486/1186). The detection ratio in the left colon (0.32, 189/588) was significantly lower than that of the right colon (0.50, 297/598) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Compared with barium enema, only half the number of colonic diverticula can be detected by colonoscopy in the entire colon and even less in the left colon.展开更多

文摘目的孤立性肺结节(solitary pulmonary nodule,SPN)的定性诊断十分困难,PET/CT是目前评价良、恶性病变最具优势的影像学手段之一。文中用Meta分析方法综合评价18F-脱氧葡萄糖(18Fluorodexglucose,FDG)PET/CT显像诊断恶性孤立性肺结节的价值。方法以孤立性肺结节、FDG、PET/CT等为检索词,检索1994年1月至2009年7月的Medline数据库、西文生物医学期刊文献服务系统、外文生物医学期刊全文数据库、中国学术期刊网全文数据库等相关中英文文献。对符合标准的研究进行质量评估,用MetaDisc1.4软件进行异质性检验,综合敏感性、特异性和诊断优势比,绘制汇总受试者工作特征(summary receiver operating characteristic,SROC)曲线和计算曲线下面积(the area under the curve,AUC),并进行敏感性分析。结果共检索相关文献29篇,其中11篇符合标准纳入分析,A级1篇,B级10篇,各研究之间存在异质性,按照随机效应模型合并敏感性、特异性、诊断优势比(diagnostic odds ratio,DOR)及其95%可信区间分别为91%(87%~93%)、83%(78%~87%)和51.04(23.33~111.66),AUC为0.9383,Q值为0.875 3,纳入文献稳定性较好。结论 18F-FDG PET/CT显像能灵敏、准确地诊断恶性孤立性肺结节,具有较高的临床应用价值。
