ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the diagnostic value of prenatal MRI in fetal intracranial hemorrhage (FICH). Materials and Methods The imaging and clinical data of 41 cases of FICH accepting MRI diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed. The hemorrhage location, signal characteristics and the associated intracranial abnormalities were observed. The pregnancy outcomes and clinical data after birth were followed up. The correlation between periventricular hemorrhage/intraventricular hemorrhage (PVH/IVH) classification and clinical outcomes was analyzed by combining prenatal risk factors. Results Forty-one cases of FICH were evaluated. There were 23 cases of multifocal cerebral hemorrhage and 18 cases of single focal hemorrhage. According to the bleeding site, the 41 cases were classified into PVH/IVH (33 cases), cerebral hemispheres near cortex hemorrhage (3 cases), cerebellar hemorrhage (2 cases), subdural hemorrhage (2 cases) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (1 case). Most of the FICH cases were in subacute period (36/41) and a few were in chronic period or forming encephalomalacia (5/41). The associated changes included ventriculomegaly, vascular malformation, agenesis of corpus callosum, agenesis of vermis, etc. Follow-up results showed that there were 25 cases of labor induction (autopsy after labor induction was performed in 3 cases), 16 cases were followed-up after birth. Among the 16 newborn, there was 1 case of PVH/IVH grade II fetus showing left ear hearing loss after birth, 1 case of grade II fetus showed dyskinesia within one year after birth, and 1 case of grade IV fetus showed unilateral limb movement disorder. The other 13 cases had no obvious neurological sequelae. Spearman correlation test of ranked data indicated that PVH/IVH classification was moderately correlated with birth outcome (r=0.689, P<0.05). Conclusion Prenatal MRI can evaluate the type and severity of fetal intracranial hemorrhage, and provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the relationship betweenparacardial adipose tissue (PAT) volume, body mass index (BMI) and severe coronary artery stenosis in young people by quantitative measurement of 256-slice spiral CT. Methods: A total of 150 patients younger than 45 years and received coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital were divided into 2 groups:Lesion group, the patients with severe main coronary branch stenosis and Control group, patients with normal coronary artery. n=75 in each group. The height, body weight and BMI were recorded in all patients;imaging data was uploaded to the workstation to calculate the volumes ofepicardiumadipose tissue (EAT) volume,pericardial outsideadipose tissue volume and PAT volume, the correlation among 3 parameters were analyzed respectively. Results:Compared with Control group, Lesion group had increased BMI (28.169±2.203) kg/m2 vs (24.960±3.041) kg/m2 and PAT volume (178.676±3.041) ml vs (99.0616±3.041) ml, all P Conclusion:PAT volume and BMI were obviously correlated to severe coronary artery stenosis in young people.
ABSTRACT
Hemodynamics is a discipline that studies the effects of blood flow,blood flow volume and other factors on the arterial wall.Intracranial aneurysm is the main cause of death due to non-traumatic subarachnoid hemonhage,which has brought a heavy burden on society.Therefore,it is very important to make an intensive study of the pathogenesis of aneurysm.With the development of medical imaging technology and fluid mechanics software in recent years,it becomes possible to make the precise and scientific studies of the hemodynamics of intracranial aneurysms.In this paper,the hemodynamic factors inducing the formation of intracranial aneurysm that are proposed by medical experts at home and abroad are reviewed,and the hemodynamic mechanism is discussed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of local injections of carbon nanoparticle in gastrectomy of stomach neoplasms.Methods Forty cases of stomach neoplasms with local injections of carbon nanoparticle in gastrectomy of stomach neoplasms were as experimental group,and 40 cases of stomach neoplasms with conventional gastrectomy of stomach neoplasms were as control group.The number of removed tiny lymph node and transferred tiny lymph node was compared.Results There was significant difference in the average number of removed tiny lymph node N1,N2,N3 between experimental group and control group (5.120 ± 0.455 vs.2.900 ± 0.245,3.890 ± 0.367 vs.1.750 ± 0.256,1.790 ± 0.224 vs.0.590 ± 0.054)(P ＜ 0.01).There was significant difference in the average number of transferred tiny lymph node N1,N2,N3 between experimental group and control group (1.090 ±0.087 vs.0.430 ± 0.044,0.550 ± 0.052 vs.0.340 ± 0.027,0.410 ± 0.044 vs.0.130 ± 0.013)(P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in postoperative complications,mortality and length of hospital stay(P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Carbon nanoparticle in gastrectomy of stomach neoplasms is a simple,safe,easy method,and it has certain supplementary role in conventional gastrectomy of stomach neoplasms.
