Dermatoscopy and high frequency sonography have recently been combined to increase diagnostic preoperative accuracy in the treatment of pigmented skin lesions. In this monocentric study 80 patients with pigmented skin lesions were evaluated clinically, by dermatoscopy, and 20 MHz-sonography followed by dermatohistopathological evaluation; 39 malignant melanomas, 37 common nevi, 3 dysplastic nevi, and 1 nevus Spitz were diagnosed histologically. In 72 of the 80 cases (91.3%) dermatoscopical diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology, compared to only 79% correct clinical diagnoses. For the mere clinical diagnosis of melanoma sensitivity was 79%, specificity was 78% and diagnostic accuracy was 65%. All diagnostic values increased by dermatoscopy: sensitivity reached 90%, specificity was 93%, and diagnostic accuracy was 83%. In order to determine tumor thickness preoperatively tumor thickness was measured by 20 MHz sonography. The correlation of tumor thickness between histometric and sonographic results was determined for nevi (r = 0.93) and melanoma (r = 0.95); 74.3% of melanomas were diagnosed correctly within an 0.2 mm range. Regarding the clinical important limit of 1 mm tumor thickness, 87.2% were diagnosed in accordance with histometric evaluation. An increase of 18% in diagnostic accuracy by dermatoscopy and 87.2% of correctly diagnosed cases of tumor thickness of malignant melanoma by high frequency sonography clearly demonstrate that these methods should be considered standard procedures in the diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions and will facilitate the decision on necessary surgical treatment. 相似文献

Abstract. Seasonal data on leaf conductance (gl ) for three different apple cultivars grown in four separate orchards with different aged trees was studied between 1979 and 1985. A number of empirical models for predicting leaf conductance from environmental measurements were compared using this data and a general method for adapting such models for the prediction of different data sets is proposed. Although stepwise multiple regression identified relative humidity or vapour pressure as important variables, it frequently did not identify the optimal set of independent variables, which often did not include either of these. There was no advantage in regressing gl against principal components of the environment, rather than against the raw environmental variables. A simple model involving air vapour pressure deficit, air temperature and a hyperbolic function of irradiance was found to explain between 32 and 62% of the variance in gl for the different data sets. Parameters fitted for one data set led to the effective prediction of gl in other years or plots. The model fit could generally be improved significantly by including soil moisture deficit among the independent variables. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Considerable differences were found in the composition of the volatile cephalic chemical of the castes of Oecophylla longinoda. The mandibular glands of minor workers contain a series of primary alcohols, predominantly 1-hexanol, 1-octanol and 1-nonanol, together with nerol and geraniol. Hexanal, 2-butyl-2-octenal and 3-undecanone (components of the mandibular gland secretion of major workers, and which are important stimuli in alarm communication) are absent. Major workers are attracted and arrested by high concentrations of nerol, which is part of a possible mechanism for communication within the nest. The heads of males contain a pungent secretion, which may be used in defence; the major constituents are five aliphatic acids. The quantities of both main and trace constituents of the mandibular gland secretion of major workers were found to vary between colonies collected in different areas of West Africa. 相似文献
