[The scintigraphic features of cirrhosis of the liver (author's transl)].
A retrospective study of 101 patients with histologically confirmed cirrhosis of the liver and portal hypertension was carried out in order to evaluate the accepted scintigraphic criteria. In only 20% were all the essential criteria present. The absence of generally accepted important scintigraphic signs does not exclude the diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver. Specificity of liver scintigraphy in cirrhosis of the liver is fairly low, but sensitivity of the method is almost 100%.
From the perspective of systemic functional linguistics,this paper discusses the differences in discourse under different cultural contexts as exemplified in a Chinese text and an English text of similar content.It also looks into the differences between the Chinese text and its English translation resulting from the change of tenor which in turn changes the mode of the discourse.
