ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the hemodynamic characteristics of parotid glands before and after acid stimulation test in patients with Sjogren syndrome.MethodsTwenty female patients with Sjogren syndrome were enrolled as case group,and 20 healthy women were selected in the same period as control group.The blood flow spectrums of bilateral superficial temporal artery and intra-parotid small artery before and after acid stimulation were detected by color Doppler ultrasonography.Peak systolic velocity (PSV),end-diastolic minimum velocity(EDV) and resistance index( RI ) were obtained and analyzed.ResultsPSV and EDV of intra-parotid small artery in case group were significantly higher than those in control group before acid stimulation test,and RI was obviously lower than that in control group [ ( 16.01 ± 6.18 ) cm/s vs.( 14.00 ± 5.23 ) cm/s,( 5.96 ± 3.00 ) cm/s vs.( 3.54 ± 2.03 ) cm/s,0.64 ± 0.07 vs.0.76 ± 0.06 ] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).In control group,PSV and EDV of superficial temporal artery and intra-parotid small artery increased and RI reduced after acid stimulation test,which had significant differences before and after acid stimulation test (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical significance in the hemodynamic indexes of case group before and after acid stimulation test(P＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions The reactivity of parotid artery to acid stimulation test in patients with Sjogren syndrome reduce,especially the intra-parotid small artery.Color Doppler ultrasonography can contribute to show the hemodynamic changes of the parotid lesions efficiently.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of dexmedetomidine and midazolam on hemodynamics and sedation in patients with nasal intubation.Methods Forty patients whose ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ and anticipated difficult airway were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group(group D,20 cases)and midazolam group(group M,20 cases)according to the admission number.In group D,dexmedetomidine 1 μ g/kg were constant speed pumped in 10 minutes.In group M,midazolam 0.03 mg/kg were intravenous injected.Then nasal intubation were carried.Systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),mean arterial blood pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2),Ramsay sedation score,rate-pressure product(RPP),tip perfusion index(TPI)were recorded and compared before anesthesia (T0),fiberoptic bronchoscope pass by later nostril(T1),to spy on epiglottis(T2),intubation succeed(T3),after intubation 1 minute(T4)and after intubation 3 minutes(T5).Airway score and postoperative visit were evaluated.Results SBP,DBP,MAP,HR,RPP in group M were significantly higher at T1-T3 than those at T0 (P＜0.05),and were significantly higher than those in group D at the same time(P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in group D(P ＞ 0.05).Ramsay sedation score and TPI at T1-T3 in group M were significantly lower than those at To(P ＜0.05).Ramsay sedation score and TPI at T1-T5 in group D were significantly higher than those at T0(P ＜ 0.05),and were significantly higher than those in group M at the same time(P ＜ 0.05).The rate of airway score 1 score and intubation satisfaction in group D were significantly higher than those in group M[100％(20/20)vs.30％(6/20),90％(18/20)vs.50％(10/20)](P＜ 0.05).The rate of throat ache in group D was significantly lower than that in group M[5％(1/20)vs.35％(7/20)](P ＜0.05).Conclusions For difficult airway patients with nasal intubation during dexmedetomidine infusion,hemodynamics is stable and sedation is satisfied.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the hemodynamic changes and pathologic foundation of rabbit models of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) via 64-slice CT pulmonary perfusion imaging ( CTPI),in order to seek the correlation between the alterations of the hemodynamic parameters and pathophysiology.Methods Seventy-two healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly classified into two groups:test group ( n =36),received 25 Gy with single fraction irradiation in a whole unilateral lung; control group ( n =36),received sham-irradiation.Each group was divided into 12 subgroups respectively according to post- and pseudo-irradiation time points (1,6,12,24,48,72 h and 1,2,4,8,16,24 w).Each rabbit underwent HRCT and CTPI at every pre- and post-radiation time point.All rabbits were sacrificed,and morphology of specimens was observed using light- and electron microscope. The changing regularity of HRCT,CTPI parameters and pathology were analyzed and compared with each other in order to find the correlation among them.The CTPI parameters of the test and control groups were compared using t test.The CTPI parameters and pathological values were analyzed using linear correlation with two variables,the detection rates of RILI by CTPI and HRCT was compared using Chi-square test.Results ( 1 ) The changes of CTPI parameters from control group after irradiation was relatively stable,but in test group those parameters including rBF,rBV and rPS,at pre- and post-irradiation time points (0,72 h and 2 w),were respectively 1.01 ± 0.09,1.86 ± 0.20,1.43 ±0.12,1.03 ±0.08,1.63 ±0.19,1.56±0.14,0.96±0.12,1.54 ±0.17 and 1.83 ±0.24.The corresponding parameters before and after irradiation were significantly different ( t =2.90-6.37,P ＞ 0.05).(2)In test group,capillary endothelial cells,basement membrane and alveolar epithelial cells,as the main injury targets,showed certain alterations in pathology.There was a significant correlation between the changes of CTPI parameters ( rBF and rBV) and pathophysiology in control group ( r =0.74,0.83,P ＜0.05 ),with the dependent relationship between rPS and the amounts of RBC outside the capillary and the destruction of basement membrane( r =0.87,0.88,P ＜ 0.01 ).(3)The detection rate of RILI with CTPI (72.2％,26/36) was obviously higher than that with HRCT( 16.7％,6/36,x2 =4.37,P =0.036).Conclusions CTPI parameters is capable of revealing the rule of hemodynamic process and reflecting the pathophysiologic state of different stages of RILI.By the time of detecting RILI,the detection rate of CTPI is clearly superior to that of HRCT,which yields potential value in predicting RILL

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of nasal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) and intubation guided by laryngoscope on hemodynamics and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2).Methods Sixty-one patients received tracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation were divided into observation group (31 cases) and control group (30 cases) by random digits table who received FOB guided nasotracheal intubation and laryngoscope intubation respectively, the systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR) and SaO2 of all patients in two groups was measured and recorded 1 min before intubation, the intubation moment and 5 min after intubation. Results Patients in two groups were successfully intubated. The average time in observation group was (35.2 ± 12.5) s and in control group was (38.7 ± 13.6) s, and there was no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05);SBP, DBP and HR of two groups at the intubation moment increased significantly than that at 1 min before intubation, while SaO2 decreased significantly, and the rangeability of above indexes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group, there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion FOB guided nasotracheal intubation has little effect on hemodynamics and blood SaO2, it is a safe method of endotracheal intubation and worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of remifentanil on mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and QTc interval during tracheal intubation of general anesthesia patients. Methods Seventy-five ASA Ⅰ -Ⅱ grade patients were selected and allocated to receive either saline (group C), remifentanil 0.50 μg/kg (group R1) or remifentanil 0.75 μg/kg(group R2) by random digits table with 25 cases in each, they were administrated as a bolus intravenous, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.10 μg/ (kg·min), 1 min before laryngoscopy. All patients received fentanyl 3 μg/kg,propofol 1.0 - 1.5 mg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. The ECG.MAP and HR were recorded prior to induction of anesthesia (T0), 2 min following the start of drug intravenous of fentanyl and propofol with vecuronium (T1), 1 min following remifentanil or saline (T2), before laryngoscopy(T3), 30 s (T4), 2 min (T5) and 4 min (T6) after intubation. Results The QTc interval was significantly prolonged immediately following intubation in group C and group R1, but it remained stable in group R2, compared with the QTc interval just before laryngoscopy. In group R2, QTc interval was significantly shorter at T4-T6 compared to group C(P＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01). QTc interval significantly increased from baseline at T4 in group R1 and T4-T6 in group C (P＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01). The number of patients with QTc interval ＞ 440 ms were significantly greater immediately following tracheal intubation in group C than that in group R2 [44% (11/25) vs. 12% (3/25)] (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions QTc interval increases following tracheal intubation during induction of anesthesia using fentanyl and propofol. Intravenous of remifentanil attenuates the QTc interval prolongation associated with tracheal intubation. In addition, remifentanil decreases the hemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effects of lung resection surgery on left heart hemodynamics in elderly patients, and explore its correlation with postoperative arrhythmia.Methods The 16 elderly patients (age≥75 years) receiving lung resection surgery were selected. At the same time, 21 patients (age＜60 years) were selected as controls. The hemodynamic parameters of each patient were recorded at the time of preoperative (T1), surgery completion (T2) and first day after surgery (T3). For patients with arrhythmia during three days after operation, the parameters would be recorded before and after arrhythmia. Results There were no significant changes in heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), cardiac stroke volume ( SV),acceleration index (ACI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) at T2 and T3 compared with T1 for both the two groups (P＞0. 05). Only the central venous pressure (CVP) increased at T2 compared with that at T1 [elderly group: (7.58±0.45) cm H2O vs. (5.92±0. 51) cm H2O, t=2.641, P＜0.01; control group: (7.49±0.34) cm H2O vs. (6.23±0.47) cm H2O, t=1.982, P＜0.05], while the CVP recovered to the preoperative level at T3. The incidence of arrhythmia was significantly higher in elderly group than in control group (31.3% vs. 14.3%, x2 = 4.26, P＜0.05), but there were no significant changes in the parameters before and after arrhythmia compared with those before surgery (P ＞ 0. 05 ).Conclusions The effects of pulmonary resection surgery on left heart hemodynamics in elderly patients can be avoided through full assessment preoperatively, heart-lung protection intraoperatively, as well as the correctly and timely clinical treatment and intensive care postoperatively. Pulmonary resection surgery has no effect on left heart hemodynamics even for patients with postoperative arrhythmia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application value of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring by thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients after general anaesthesia.Methods Fifty-six elderly non-cardiac surgery patients after general anaesthesia were divided into control group and TEB group with 28 patients in each group by random digits table. All patients received standardized care including central venous pressure (VAP). Besides these monitoring, hemodynamic monitoring by TEB was used to evaluate the hemodynamic state of patients in TEB group. Diuretics, inotropic agents, vasoactive drugs or intravenous fluid therapy were used according to monitoring guidance. The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), VAP, urine output (UO) were recorded in different time. The length of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay were also recorded. The difference in HR, MAP, VAP, UO, the length of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay between two groups were analyzed. Results The differences between two groups had no significance in HR, MAP, VAP, UO at the same time (P ＞ 0.05 ). The length of mechanical ventilation of TEB group [ (19.5±15.9)h] was shorter as compared to that of control group [ (25.5 ± 16.5) h ], but the difference was not significant (P =0.173). The ICU stay of TEB group [(2.8 ± 1.0) d ] was shorter as compared to that of control group[(3.6±1.6)d] and the difference was significant (P=0.032). Conclusion Non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring by TEB can monitor the changes of hemodynamics and direct treatment in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients after general anaesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the risk factors for persistent hemodynamic depression after carotid angioplasty and stenting(CAS). Methods Sixty-one patients with CAS were included. By univariate Logistic regression analysis,the influencing factors for persistent hemodynamic depression were analyzed,by stepwise Logistic regression analysis and adjustment for age and gender factors,the independent risk factors for persistent hemodynamic depression were analyzed. Results In 61 patients,25 cases had hypotension,25 cases had bradycardia,all for 41.0% incidence. According to the patients intraoperative and postoperative blood pressure,heart rate conditions,the duration of hemodynamic depression,the cases were divided into persistent hemodynamic depression group (20 cases) and no-persistent hemodynamic depression group(41 cases). Univariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that persistent hemodynamic depression influencing factors were the symptomatic stenosis, severe stenosis, using balloon dilatation, implantation of laser-carving stent(P<0.05). With adjustment for age and gender factors, stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that using balloon dilatation, implantation of laser-carving stent were the independent risk factors for persistent hemodynamic depression (OR = 5.046,95%CI 1.342-18.977,P = 0.017;OR = 4.142,95%CI 1.151-14.902, P= 0.030),symptomatic stenosis was the independent protective factor for persistent hemodynamic depression (OR = 0.264,95% CI 0.073-0.964,P= 0.044). Conclusions Persistent hemodynamic depression after CAS is a common complication.CAS patients with using balloon dilatation, implantation of laser-carving stent are more susceptible to persistent hemodynamic depression, while symptomatic stenosis is its protective factor.

ABSTRACT
A posição prona parece ser uma estratégia promissora para melhorar a hipoxemia em pacientes com lesão pulmonar aguda e síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo. Estudos realizados têm demonstrado que, durante sua aplicação, ocorre a ventilação de áreas previamente atelectasiadas, o que se acompanha de redistribuição do fluxo sanguíneo, com redução do shunt intrapulmonar e conseqüente melhora na relação ventilação/perfusão. Os autores fazem uma revisão sobre o uso da posição prona, suas indicações e contra-indicações, bem como os mecanismos envolvidos na melhora da oxigenação de pacientes cardiopatas.
The prone position seems to be a promising strategy to improve hypoxemia in patients with acute pulmonary injuries and acute respiratory discomfort syndrome. Studies have shown that, during its application, the ventilation of areas previously atelectasied occurs and is followed by blood flow redistribution with a reduction of intrapulmonary shunt, causing an improvement in the ventilation/perfusion relationship. The authors made a survey on the use of the prone position, its indications and contraindications, as well as the mechanisms involved in the improvement of the oxygenation of cardiopathic patients.

Objective To explore the changes in regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)and cerebral hemodynamics in patients with CCVI.Methods Twenty patients diagnosed as CCVI were enrolled to undergo single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)rCBF imaging or transcranial Doppler uhrasonography(TCD)examination.All the patients were free from cerebral structural abnormalities as demonstrated by X-CT or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Cranial arteries blood flow velocity,pulsating index(PI)were measured by TCD and compared with the mean of rCBF as measured by SPECT.Results On SPECT images, decreased rCBF lesions were found in 95 percent of patients(19/20).The areas of hypoperfusion were mainly located in frontal,temporal,parietal lobes and fondues nodus.Increased cranial arteries blood flow velocity was found in the anterior cerebral artery(ACA)and middle cerebral artery(MCA)in 80 percent of patients (16/20).There were no correlations among rCBF,the decreased percentage of rCBF,average velocity,and PI of cranial arteries.Conclusions By performing SPECT rCBF and TCD on CCVI patients,the degree of changes in rCBF and hemodynamics Can be evaluated easily,which is valuable for early clinical diagnosis and treatment of CCVI.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis is a promising approach during this era of drug-eluting stents. However, there is no available hemodynamic data on these type patients during the performance of LMCA stenting. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors affecting hemodynamic stability during LMCA stenting, and to evaluate whether hemodynamic support such as inotropics or intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is needed, based on the risk factors. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: From July 2003 to January 2006, we enrolled 92 study patients (Male=55) who had visited Yeungnam University Hospital, Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital and InJe University Baik Hospital in Busan and they were all were diagnosed with angiographically detected unprotected LMCA stenosis. Group 1 (n=69) included those patients who did not need hemodynamic support during PCI. Group 2 (n=23) included patients who needed hemodynamic support during PCI. All patients had stents deployed in the LMCA lesions without hemodynamic support; the clinical, angiographic and procedural outcomes were compared between the two groups after the procedure. RESULTS: The baseline patient characteristics were not statistically different between the two groups. On univariate analysis, Group 2 had more patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) than Group 1 (40% vs. 15%, respectively, p=0.014). Group 1 had a greater frequency of an increased left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction than Group 2 (60+/-10 vs. 47+/-11, respectively, p=0.01). Regarding the lesion location in the LMCA, Group 2 had relatively more lesions at bifurcated locations than Group 1 (44% vs. 78%, respectively, p=0.004). Group 2 required more complex techniques to repair lesions, such as kissing or crush stenting, than did Group 1 (19% vs. 48%, respectively, p=0.006). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of AMI (Odds Ratio (OR)=3.74, p=0.014), a complex stenting procedure such as kissing or crushing (OR=3.99, p=0.006), a bifurcated lesion (OR=4.58, p=0.004) and poor LV function (OR=9.95, p=0.0001) were independent risk factors for hemodynamic instability during LMCA stenting. CONCLUSION: The most important risk factor for hemodynamic instability during LMCA stenting was LV function. Therefore, preparation for hemodynamic support, including IABP before the procedure, is necessary for the high risk patients.

ABSTRACT
Introdução: A Variação da Pressão Sistólica (VPS) e da Pressão de Pulso (VPP) têm sido propostas como métodos efetivos para monitoração hemodinâmica, em predizer a resposta à reposição da volemia durante a ventilação mecânica. A primeira é calculada pela diferença entre a pressão sistólica máxima e mínima em um ciclo respiratório, e composta pela somatória dos componentes delta up e delta down; e a VPP obtida pela diferença entre a pressão sistólica e diastólica também em um ciclo respiratório. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a VPS e seus componentes, e a VPP durante a ventilação com volume (VCV) e pressão (PCV) controlados, em coelhos normovolêmicos ou submetidos à hemorragia controlada. Método: Trinta e dois coelhos foram distribuídos de forma aleatória em quatro grupos: G1-ConPCV, G2-HemPCV, G3-ConVCV e G4-HemVCV. Foram ventilados em PCV ou VCV, com volume corrente entre 10 e 12 ml.kg-1 e freqüência respiratória para manter normocapnia. Nos grupos controle (G1-ConPCV e G3-ConVCV), sangue não foi retirado, e cada momento foi avaliado por 30 minutos (M0, M1 e M2); nos grupos com hemorragia (G2-HemPCV e G4-HemVCV), não houve perda sangüínea em M0, em M1 retirou-se 15% da volemia estimada, assim como em M2, de forma gradual. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância para medidas repetidas (ANOVA), sendo considerados significativos para um valor de p<0,05, e apresentados na forma de média e desvio-padrão. Resultados: Não houve diferença em M0 entre os grupos estudados. Em M1, os grupos com perda sanguínea apresentaram maiores variações na VPS, em seu componente delta down e na VPP, diferindo significativamente apenas dos grupos controle. Quando a volemia foi reduzida em 30% (M2), G4-HemVCV apresentou maior variação na pressão sistólica, no componente delta down e na pressão de pulso; bem como ambos grupos submetidos à hemorragia apresentaram valores significativamente maiores do que os grupos controle. O débito cardíaco não apresentou variação...
Rationale: Systolic pressure variation (SPV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) indices have been proposed as effective methods of hemodynamic monitoring to predict fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation. SPV is calculated by the difference between the maximum and minimum values of systolic blood pressure following a single positive pressure breath, and it is made up of the sum of their components delta up and delta down; PPV is obtained by the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure also in a single positive pressure breath. The purpose of this study was to evaluate SPV and its components, and PPV during volume (VCV) and pressure (PCV) controlled ventilation in normovolemic rabbits or ones submitted to graded hemorrhage. Method: Thirty two rabbits were randomly allocated in four groups: G1- ConPCV, G2-HemPCV, G3-ConVCV and G4-HemVCV. They were ventilated in PCV or VCV; tidal volume was fixed between 10 to 12 mL.kg-1 and respiratory rate was monitored in order to maintain normocapnia. In control groups (G1- ConPCV and G3-ConVCV) blood was not withdrawn and each moment was evaluated for 30 minutes (M0, M1 and M2); in hemorrhage groups (G2-HemPCV and G4-HemVCV) there was no blood loss in M0; in M1 and M2 15% of estimated volemia was graded withdrawn. Data were submitted to analysis of variance for repeated measures (ANOVA); significance level was p<0,05 and results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Results: In M0, no significant differences were observed among all groups. Hemorrhagic groups (G2-HemPCV and G4-HemVCV) presented higher SPV, delta down and PPV in M1, differing significantly (p<0,05) only from control groups. When 30% of estimated blood volume was removed, higher SPV, delta down and PPV were observed mainly in G4-HemVCV. Cardiac output did not vary significantly (p>0,05) among groups and moments. Conclusions: In rabbits with normovolemia or slight hemorrhage, both modes of ventilation had similar...

ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to develop a pre-clinical large animal model for the in vivo hemodynamic testing of prosthetic valves in the aortic position without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass. Ten male pigs were used. A composite valved conduit was constructed in the operating room by implanting a prosthetic valve between two separate pieces of vascular conduits, which bypassed the ascending aorta to the descending aorta. Prior to applying a side-biting clamp to the ascending aorta for proximal grafting to the aortic anastomosis, an aorta to femoral artery shunt was placed just proximally to this clamp. The heart rate, cardiac output, Vmax, transvalvular pressure gradient, effective orifice area and incremental dobutamine stress response were assessed. A dose dependant increase with dobutamine was seen in terms of cardiac output, Vmax, and the peak transvalvular pressure gradient both in the native and in the prosthetic valve. However, the increment was much steeper in the prosthetic valve. No significant differences in cardiac output were noted between the native and the prosthetic valves. The described pre-clinical porcine model was found suitable for site-specific in-vivo hemodynamic assessment of aortic valvular prosthesis without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Objective To evaluate hemodynamic changes in liver treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt(TIPSS)with hepatic computed tomography(CT)perfusion,Doppler ultrasound and portal vein pressure measurement,as well as the correlation among these methods.Methods Hepatic CT perfusion was performed in 9 cirrhotic patients one week before TIPSS and 72 hours after TIPSS. Intraoperative portal vein pressure was measured before and after portosystemic shunt establish.The follow- up hepatic CT perfusion were carried out in 3 cases at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively.The hemodynamic surveillance by Doppler ultrasound were performed in 48 hours and 3 months after TIPSS for 9 cases,and in 6 months after TIPSS for 6 cases.Two cases underwent venography and portal vein pressure measurement in 6 months after TIPSS treatment.Results The mean of portal vein perfusion(PVP),total hepatic blood flow(THBF),hepatic perfusion index(HPI)and portal vein free pressure(PVFP)before TIPSSwere(0.92?0.18)ml?min~(-1)?ml~(-1),(1.28?0.17)ml?min~(-1)?ml~(-1),(28?8)%,and (23.92?0.86)mmHg,respectively.In 72 hours after TIPSS,the mean of PVP,THBF,HPI and PVFP were(0.21?0.15)ml?min~(-1)?ml~(-1),(0.74?0.18)ml?min~(-1)?ml~(-1),(74 +13)%,and (12.62?1.54)mm Hg,respectively.After treatment,the mean of PVP was(0.49?0.05)ml?min~(-1)? ml~(-1)at 3 months and(0.57?0.03)ml?min~(-1)?ml~(-1)at 6 months,respectively.There was negative correlation between PVP and PVFP before TIPSS(r=0.678,P0.05).Moreover,a signifieant correlation was found between the degree of portal vein pressure decrease and portal vein perfusion decrease(r=0.867,P
