ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of fat-saturated three-dimensional fast imaging with steady state procession(FS-3D-FISP)sequence in detecting hyaline cartilage defects in osteoarthritis in rabbits.Methods Osteoarthritis was induced in eighteen male rabbits by injecting papain into the left knee joints.The same volume of sterile saline solution was injected into right knee joints as controls.MRI of knee joints was done at 1,2 and 4 weeks after injection using FS-3D-FISP sequence.The the rabbits were killed and pathohistological examinations of the femoral condylars and tibial plateaus were performed.The cartilage changes were observed by MR image according to the Outerbridge method and by pathology using Collins staging.Results There was closely correlation between MR imaging and pathology in grading of cartilage injury in grade I～II and grade III～IV(P＜0.001).Conclusion FS-3D-FISP can evaluate accurately the degree of articular injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of CPB with or without cardioplegia on hemodynamics and myocardial function. Methods Thirty NYHA class III patients undergoing mitral valve replacement were randomly divided into three groups of ten each: group Ⅰ received no blood cardioplegia; group Ⅱ received tepid blood cardioplegia solution and group Ⅲ received cold blood cardioplegia solution. The patients were premedicated with pethidine 50mg and scopolamine 0.3mg. Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted via right interval jugular vein into pulmonary artery and radial artery was cannulated under local anesthesia before anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05-0.01 mg.kg-1, fentanyl 15-20?g. kg-1 and pancuronium 0.12mg.kg-1 and maintained with fentanyl, midazolam and pancuromium. Patients in group Ⅰ received no cardioplegic solution. Ascending aorta was not cross-clamped. Body temperature was reduced to 32℃-33 ℃ (naso-pharyngeal T) . The empty heart was beating at 40-60 bmp. In group D and Ⅲ cardioplegic solution (modified St. Thomas solution) was added to blood from oxygenator (in the proportion of 1:4).In group Ⅱ body temperature was reduced to 32℃-33℃.Tepid (32℃ ) hyperkalemia blood cardioplegic solution was infused at 200-250ml.min-1 after ascending aorta was cross-clamped. After cardioplegic arrest hypokalemic blood cardioplegia solution was infused. In group Ⅲ body temperature was reduced to 28℃-29℃. Cold (8℃) hyperkalemic blood cardioplegic solution was infused at 200-250ml. min-1, after ascending aorta was cross-clamped. After cardioplegia arrest cold hypokalemic blood cardioplegia solution was infused every 20 min. Hemodynamic parameters (MAP, MPAP, CO, CI, SVRI, PVRI, LVSWI and RVSWI) were recorded before anesthesia (T0), before CPB (T1), 10, 30, 60 min after termination of CPB (T2-T4 ) and at the end of surgery (T5 ) . Results Demographic data including age, gender, body weight and body surface area were comparable between the three groups. CI in group 1 and Ⅱ was significantly higher at T2 -T5 than that in group Ⅲ . SVRI after CPB in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ . Conclusion The myocardial function after CPB without cardioplegia is better than that after CPB with cold cardioplegia, but is not significantly different from that after CPB with tepid blood cardioplegia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical value of CR system in diagnosing fracture of femoral neck.Methods 108 cases hospital ized with fracture of femoral neck were examined by CR,the results were analysed comparatively with that of the conventional X-ray film taken at the same time.Results CR system could show clearly the various fracture lines according to Garden four types of arthrosteopedic surgery,while 3 cases of Ⅰ type and 5 cases of Ⅱ type were failed to indicate the distinct difference on conventional X-ray films,there were obvious different in positive detecting rate between these two methods.Conclusion CR system,by its function of computer treatment afterwards,can make an early diagnose in time to different types of the fracture of femoral neck,especially in the respect of Ⅰand Ⅱ type which is superior to the conventional X-ray film.
