ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the characters of CDU imaging anatomy and results of clinical application of perforating branch of median cubital vein, and to find the evidence of utilizing perforating vein to establish high level hemodialysis access.Methods:From November, 2016 to October, 2019, 150 median cubital veins in 75 persons were observed by CDU. And the inner diameter and length of the perforating branch were measured Perforating branches of median cubital vein were categorized with ultrasonic imaging anatomy. Thirty-eight chronic kidney failure patients who can not build forearm fistulas were operated by end-to-side anastomosis between perforating branch vein and brachial artery to build hemodialysis access. The blood flow of fisultas was measured,the mature period of fisultas was recorded. The length of available vessels of fisultas was measured and the long-term utilization rate of fisultas was counted.Results:Perforating branch of median cubital vein was always located in a little below elbow near brachial artery, the rate of occurrence was 94.0%. It was sent out at intersection of veins. There were 4 types of perforating vein in image-anatomy. There was no significant difference in vessel length and vessel inner diameter between different types ( P>0.05) ; All the 38 patients with mature fistulas could meet the needs of hemodialysis. The available vascular length of fistulas in type I and type II patients was better than that in type III ( P<0.01), and the long-term utilization rates of fistulas in type I, type II and type III were 84.6%, 85.7% and 72.7%, respectively. There was no significant difference in blood flow and mature period between different types ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:It is most safe and reliable to use the type I and type II of perforating branch of median cubital vein to make the high level fistulas , which can provide a safe and efficient hemodialysis access for the patients with forearm vascular drain, elderly diabetes patients and difficult fistulas with repeatedly thrombosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the differential diagnostic value of ultrasonic elastography for breast nodules with acoustic attenuation.Methods:A total of 105 cases with breast nodules with posterior echo attenuation from June 2017 to October 2019 in Shenzhen People′s Hospital were enrolled. Routine ultrasound examination and elastography were performed and maximum of elastography(Emax), mean of elastography value(Emean), minimum of elastography value(Emin) and strain ratio of fat/strain ratio of nodules(B/A) were recorded. With the pathological results as the diagnosed gold standard, elastic parameters different between benign and malignant breast nodules with posterior echo attenuation were compared. And the Emax value of elastic imaging was analyzed by the ROC curve.Results:There were 65 cases of benign nodules and 40 cases of malignancy. The difference of ultrasound E imaging were statistically significant for judging benign and malignant breast nodules with acoustic attenuation( P<0.05). When Emax 95 kPa was set as the cut-off value for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignat breast nodules, the area under the ROC curve was 0.817, and the sensitivity was 88% and the specificity was 72%. Conclusions:Ultrasonic elastrography is of great value for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast nodules with acoustic attenuation, and it is important for the decision making of clinical treatment plan.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of high frequency three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound in breast masses.Methods Seventy-seven cases of breast lesions were selected by 2D ultrasonic scan,and all the cases had been examined by 3D ultrasound and accepted surgical treatment in Shenzhen People's Hospital.With pathological results as the gold standard for diagnosis,the convergence sign in diagnosis of breast masses was used as malignant standard for 3D ultrasound coronal plane.The sensitivity and specificity were analyzed of 3D ultrasound in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.Results A total of 77 cases of breast lesions included 46 malignant and 31 benign.3D ultrasound convergence sign was used to judge the benign and malignant breast tumors with statistical significance (x2 =26.790,P ＜ 0.01).The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 69.7％,and 90.3％,respectively.Conclusions High frequency 3D ultrasonography has certain value in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors,and has important significance for the formulation of treatment plan.
ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare Integrin αvβ3/CCR2 dual targeted microbubble,test physical-chemical properties,enhancement effect and targeting ability in vitro.Methods The dual targeted microbubbles (MBdual-target )with FITC labled iRGD and PE labled CCR2 were prapared,and non-target microbubbles as control (MBcontrol ) were prapered.Physical and chemical properties of two groups of microbubbles were tested,connectivity of peptides/antibodies and microbubbles were detected by fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry instrument.Enhancement effect and the stability of two groups of microbubbles was observed and compared in vitro.The affinity of MBdual-target and MBcontrol for bEnd.3 cells was investigated with light and fluorescent microscope.Results ①The particle size of MBdual-target was (0.93±0.23)μm,with no statistically significant difference compared with MBcontrol (P >0.05).②MBcontrol showed no fluorescent,while MBdual-target showed both clear green and red light,under fluorescent microscope.③There was no significant difference of gray scale of enhancement between MBdual-target and MBcontrol in vitro.④ It was showed that MBdual-target adhered to bEnd.3 cells in vitro experiment.Conclusions Integrinαvβ3/CCR2 dual targeted targeted microbubbles was successfully prepared and proved having good enhancement effect and targeting ability in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application potentiality of dynamic three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D-CEUS) in showing vascular patterns of hepatic tumors.Methods Total of 65 hepatic tumors were examined with two-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (2D-CEUS) and dynamic 3D-CEUS and make statistical comparison between two imaging modes in aspects of enhancement patterns,spatial relationships of tumors and vascularity of different hepatic tumors.Results Dynamic 3D-CEUS showed the same enhancement patterns with 2D-CEUS.However,Dynamic 3D-CEUS was superior to 2D-CEUS in the display of spatial relationships of hepatic tumors and vascularity(P ＜0.05).The vascularity between benign and malignant hepatic tumors was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Dynamic 3D-CEUS is a useful technique in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors as well as 2D-CEUS,and dynamic 3D-CEUS displays the spatial relationship of hepatic tumors and vascularity more visually and comprehensively,which provides additional beneficial information for the diagnosis and therapy of hepatic tumors.
