ABSTRACT
Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanism of degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) through measuring vertebra arch angle and facet joint degeneration with 64-slice spiral computed tomography (CT). Methods One hundred and six patients complained of lumbodynia were examined with 64-slice CT. In 28 of 106 patients have lumbar spondylolisthesis, while the other 78 cases have not. The vertebra arch angles of all cases were measured and the facet joint degenerations were analyzed. Results L4--5 vertebra arch angle in DS group were 119. 0°±2. 2°(left) and 118. 8°±1.9° (right) ,respectively. L4--5 vertebra arch angle in control group were 102.9°±1.2°(left) and 104. 7°± 1.2° (right) ,respectively. The joint angle in DS group were 41.1°±1.2°(left) ,and 29.0°±1.2°(right), respectively. The joint angle in control group were 45.5°±2. 1°(left), and 45. 1°±1.2°(right), respectively. There were significant differences of L4--5 vertebra arch angle and more serious of facet joint degeneration( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion L4 vertebra arch inclination and facet joint degeneration were important to diagnosis of spondylolisthesis.
ABSTRACT
To detect into the relationship between tibrosls an liver damage of liver and serum levels C-IV, HA and CG in patients with hepatic diseases． Methods:l63 cases of patients with hepatic disease cases and 60 cases of normal persons were studied, the three substances in serum of them were determined with RIA method． Results:The serum levels of above 3 substances were all high in l63 patients than that in normal persons． Statistics of these data shows that the increasing of them is parallel direct to the degree of liver fibrosis． Conclus ion: It has important clinical significance to determine serum C-IV, HA and CG dynamically in patient s with hepatic diseases
ABSTRACT
Twenty-four patients with parapharyngeal space tumors were treated from 1964 to 1999.There were 11 males and 13 females,ranging in age from 10 to 71 years old.Among 24 patients, benign tumors were 17(70.8%),malignant tumors 7(29.2%).The diagnosis of these tumors were biopsy and CT scaning .Pathologic results showed that the original tumors were salivary gland tissue in 11(45.8%),cranial nerve in 7(29.2%),vascular tissue in 2(8.3%)and the unidentified in 4(16.7%).The surgical approaches for these tumors were neck side incision in 19,through mouth in 5.Results showed that 4 malignant tumors were died in one year,3 cases did not clear;the prognosis of 17 benign tumors were well.
ABSTRACT
Changes of ventricular relaxation, contractility and compliance and their effects on cardiac pump function during the development of chronic high output heart failure were studied in the animal model produced by establishment of combined aorto-caval fistula (ACF) and unilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) in rats.In the present study, all the rats with ACF+RAS showed the characteristics of high output hear failure of varying degree, the cardiac index rised significantly even at rest, while pump function reserving force (CORF) decreased to different extent.The resu(?)lts show that with the aggravation of cardiac pump function deterioration, ventricular relaxation and contractility decreased progressively, the ventricular diastolic compliance rised significantly. With stepwise regression analysis, the changes of ventricular relaxation, comtractility and compliance have different effects on cardiac pump function at different stage of heart failure.
ABSTRACT
The effects of superoxide dismutase (SOD) on mitochondrial function after hypoxic and reoxygenated perfusions in isolated rat hearts were observed. Significant decreases in respiration control ratio (RCR) and ADP/O ratio (P/O) as well as activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and cytochrome oxidase (CCO) were found alter 40 minutes' hypoxia and 20 minutes' reoxygenated perfusion. Adding SOD to the perfusion fluid during the reperfusion period could restore the decreased mitochondfial function, which was shown by increased RCR and P/O as well as activities of SDH and CCO.
ABSTRACT
To find out the method of assessing the car-diac reserve function under the resting condition,we observed the changes of left ventricular con-tractility, relaxation and compliance, as well ascardiac pump function under the resting and over-loaded conditions with intact hearts of male rats invarious states of heart failure induced by variousadriamycin cumulative doses. The results of thepresent study indicated that the degree of my-ocardium injury was aggravated along with the in-crease of adriamycin cumulative doses. Mean-while, all of the parameters of left ventricular con-tractility, relaxation, compliance and cardiac re-serve function decreased significantly. However,the indexes of basic cardiac pump function in-creased to a certain extent because of the influenceof non-cardiac factors. The discriminant analysisshowed that the degree of heart failure assessed bymeans of the discriminant function, or synthesizingthe changes of left ventricular contractility, relax-ation and compliance under the resting condition,was almost consistent with that by means of thecardiac reserve function. In addition, the multipleregression indicated that the contractility, relax-ation and compliance had different effects on thecardiac reserve function, corresponding to the different states of heart failure.
