ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography angiography(MSCTA)scanning and reconstruction technology in detecting anomalous origin of coronary artery(AOCA).Methods Retrospective analysis was done in 3 856 patients who accepted MSCTA.Volume rendering(VR),multi-planar reformation(MPR),curved planar reformation(CPR)and maximum intensity projection(MIP)were used to observe the origin and course of coronary artery.Results 42 patients with AOCA were detected among 3 856 objects,and the detection rate was 1.09%.The detection rates had no statistically significant difference between male(1.17%)and female(0.98%).The rate of patients with anomalous origin of left coronary artery was 30.95%(13/42), and 9 objects(69.23%,9/13)of them had the anomalous origin of left circumflex.The rate of patients with anomalous origin of right coronary was 66.67%(28/42),and 35.71% of them(17/28)were found to have the anomalous origin of right coronary artery from the left sinus of valsalva.Conclusion MSCTA scanning and reconstruction technology is noninvasive,rapid,accurate and intuitive.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clearance efficacy of resin hemoperfusion(HP) on the removal of organophosphorus in the rabbits poisoned by methamidophos(MAP) and its effects on organ injury. Method Six-teen healthy Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into HP group and non-HP group. MAP was given through gastric tube in a dosage of 20 mg/kg to rabbits of both groups. Rabbits of liP group received resin hemop-ersion plus conventional treatment including early gastric lavage, atropine and pralidoxime. Rabbits of non-HP group received only conventional treatment. The plasma concentration of MAP was determined by using gas chro-matography before and after rabbits were poisoned at different intervals. Serum choline esterase (ChE),lactic de-hydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) of rabbits of both groups were assayed 6 hours after rabbits poisoned. Pathological changes in lung, liver, kidney and muscle were investigated simutaneously. SPSS 10.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The comparison between groups was carried out by using t -test. Results ① The typical symptoms of organophospborus poisoning were occurred in rabbits within 5 - 10 minutes after ingestion of MAP. In HP group, the plasma levels of rabbits before,and 30 min,60 min,90 min and 120 min after hemoperfu-sion were (11.43±1.56),(7.82±1.54),(4.97±1.58),(5.66±1.75) ,(5.49±1.68) μg/mL, respectively (P <0.01). After hemoperfusion, the plasma MAP levels of rabbits in HP group were lower than those in non-HP groups (P < 0.01). The improveme, nt of clinical presentation of rabbits was observed shortly after HP. ② The blood choline esterase activity of rabbits were depressed in hoth groups without significant difference. In contrast, the blood levels of ALT, AST,LDH,CK and CK-MB of rabbits in non-HP group elevated significantly than in HP group (P < 0.01). ③ The more severe injury of muscle, liver, kidnet and lung of rabbits can could be seen in non-HP group. Conclusions ① HP can effectively eliminate the plasma MAP and has the potential to improve the clinical presentation of intoxication in rabbits. ② Early intervention of Hp exerts a protection from organ dam-age of organophosphorus pesticide.
