RESUMO
Objective To study the influence of traction on the blood circulation of femur head and its evaluation by DSA. Methods Using micro-catheter, transfemoral selective femoral circumflex arteriography in 22 healthy dogs was performed in unilateral hip before (Group A,n =22) and immediately (Group B,n=22) ,30( Group D,n =22) ,60(Group E,n=20) ,90( Group F,n = 10),120 (Group G,n=10) minutes during 2 kg skin hip traction, and immediately after traction removal (Group H,I,J,L and 0), and 30 minutes after traction removal with 60,90 and 120 minutes continuous traction(Group K,M and P),and 60 minutes after traction removal with 90 and 120 minutes continuous traction(Group N and Q). DSA was also performed immediately during 4 kg weight traction before continuous traction in 12 hips( Group C).Blood circulation of the femoral head was evaluated mainly by observing its perfusion and time of circulation. Femur head perfusion was assessed as good scoring 3,poor scoring 2 and extremely poor scoring 1. Femur head circulation time was assessed as normal scoring 3 .prolonged scoring 2 and remarkably prolonged scoring 1. Analysis of variance was employed for analysis of the angiographic findings between different groups.Results Good femoral head perfusion in Group A to Q was 22,0,0,0,0,0,0,22,22,1,18,0,0,8,0,0 and 1 hips respectively, poor one was 0,22,8,22,15,4,1,0,0,15,2,4,6,2,1,3 and 8 hips, respectively,extremely poor one was 0,0,4,0,5,6,9,0,0,4,0,6,4,0,9,7 and 1 hips, respectively; and normal femoral head blood circulation time was 22,0,0,0,0,0,0,22,22,1,18,0,0,8,0,0 and 1 hips, respectively, prolonged one was 0,22,9,22,15,4,2,0,0, 15,2,5,7,2,2,4 and 8 hips, respectively, remarkably prolonged one was 0,0,3,0,5,6,8,0,0,4,0,5,3,0,8,6 and 1 hips, respectively. F value of femoral head perfusion among group A and B,group B and C,group B,D,E,F and G,Group H,I,J,L and O,group K,M and P,Group N and Q was 437. 48,30. 25,29. 04,132. 69,143. 73,25.20, respectively, and their P value was all <0. 01. F value of femoral head circulation time among group A and B,group B and C,group B,D,E,F and G,Group H,I,J,L and O,group K,M and P,Group N and Q was 386. 26,31. 83,22.43,141. 94,119.69,21.68, respectively, and their P value was all < 0.01. Conclusions Traction could lead to ischemic response and circulation disorder of canine femoral head. The longer the traction time or the bigger the traction weight was, the poorer the femoral head perfusion and the longer the femoral head circulation time were, and the slower they recovered. DSA could directly reflect these changes in the femoral head with these angioarchitectural and hemodynamic indexes.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the technical protocols and feasibility of subtraction computed tomography perfusion imaging (sCTP) on observation of ischemic necrosis of femoral head (ANFH) on dog. Methods Sixteen laboratory canines underwent CT perfusion imaging (CTP) of femoral head before and after selective femoral circumflex artery embolization, and ANFH were observed. Then new sequence imaging data, created by sources imaging of CT perfusion scan using subtraction software, were analyzed at workstation (AW 4.2) with CT perfusion 3 analysis program, and data of sCTP were obtained. The parametric maps and indexes of capillary-level hemodynamics including blood volume (BV), blood flow (BF) and mean transit time (MTT) of CTP and sCTP were compared. Results ①The technical success rate of sCTP post-processing created from CTP sources imaging data was 100%. The values and mappings of BF, BV and MTT of region of interest (ROI) were all obtained from subtraction sequence images data. The post-processing time of sCTP was about 1-5 h. ② sCTP depicted ANFH well, though the values and mappings of BF, BV and MTT were different from those obtained with conventional bone CTP. Conclusion sCTP can be generated with subtraction and perfusion analysis program and techniques. It can be applied to bone CT perfusion imaging and early quantitative diagnosis of necrosis.
