ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the feasibility of double phase subtraction angiography with second generation (128-slice )dual-source CT in low dose Flash spiral scan mode for the evaluation of cerebral vessel,compared with dual-energy subtraction angiogra-phy.Methods 60 patients underwent double phrase CT angiography were divided into group A (n = 30,with Flash spiral scan mode),group B(n=30,with dual-energy scan mode).The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),the contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)and the av-erage radiation of double phrase subtraction images were measured in two groups,respectively.The double phase subtraction images quality were graded by 2 independent readers on a 5-point scale(5=excellent)in double-blind,according to various degrees of the re-sidual bones,the vessel displayed and luminal integrity,respectively.Differences between two groups were analyzed by Mann-whit-ney test and t test.Results The double phrase image SNR showed no difference to both two groups(P >0.05).The image CNR of arterial and venous phase in group A were higher than that of group B(40.89±8.89 and 40.27 ±9.90 in group A vs 35.28 ±8.43 and 34.89±8.66 in group B;P 0.05).The vessel image scores of arterial phase were higher in group A than that of group B(4.93±0.25 vs 3.87±0.97;P <0.05).Some internal carotid in the base of skull has not good luminal integrity in group B.The mean dose length product (DLP)in group A was lower than that of group B,with a 39 percent reduction[(226±5.69 )mGy/cm vs (368 ± 21.35 )mGy/cm,P < 0.05 ].Conclusion With the roughly similar image quality to dual-energy double phase subtraction angiography,the cerebral vessels can be assessed using dual-source CT subtraction angiography in Flash spiral scan mode and a lower radiation dose.
ABSTRACT
Emotional labor is an important constituent of teaching affairs.Research on emotional labor suggests that there are both positive and negative effects for employees.This article aims to reduce negative influence of emotional labor and comes up with some countermeasures for maintaining the mental health of teachers.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the method of measuring quercetin content in semen cuscutae(SC) and to explore its in- vivo pharmacokinetics features.Methods The rapid and sensitive HPLC- UV method was adopted with carbamazepine acting as internal standard. After the extract of SC was given, serum samples of rats were collected and measured on C18 reverse- phase chromatographic column after liquid- liquid extract. Results The linear range of calibration curve were 0.05～ 9? g/mL (r=0.9998). The method showed good precision and recoveries for serum with 86.65～ 99.07% , and extracting recoveries 79.91～ 84.56% .The limit of detection(LOD) as 0.05? g/mL. Conclusion The pharmacokinetic process of quercetin in vivo manifestated an opening two- compartment model with t1/2(Ab)=0.13h, t1/2(? )=0.19h, t1/2(? ) =1.22h, tmax=0.333h. The results may provide evidence of safety and effectiveness for clinical use of SC.
