ObjectiveTo evaluate liver perfusion in pregnant women with hepatitis between 13 and 41 weeks of gestation by three-dimensional color power Doppler angiography (3D-CPA) vascular indexes. MethodsThis study involved 73 pregnant women with hepatitis and 44 healthy pregnant women who had the pregnancy examination between February 2012 and June 2013. We sampled in the area which was near the right lobe of the pregnant women liver's portal vein branch, and obtained the vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) via the virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) method. Then, we compared the liver perfusion differences between the pregnant women with hepatitis and healthy pregnant women. ResultsThe hepatic flow indexes obtained by 3D-CPA were significantly different between the HBV-DNA viral load and the control groups. The cutoff values of the three vascular indexes of patients with hepatitis with HBV-DNA viral load and the healthy pregnant women were respectively VI=8.760 (P<3×10-4); FI=22.180 (P<6×10-7); and VFI=1.575 (P<3×10-5). ConclusionApplication of the 3D-CPA on liver perfusion may differentiate pregnant women with hepatitis B from normal ones, thus offer a support for clinical prevention and treatment for pregnant women with hepatitis B.
【摘要】 目的 探討2型糖尿病（T2DM）胰島素抵抗導致糖尿病性心功能不全的臨床表現特點及相關激素的改變。 方法 2008年1-4月對T2DM患者35例（胰島素抵抗指數HOMA-IRlt;2.69者19例為A1組，HOMA-IR≥2.69者16例為A2組）及健康體檢者20人B組測體重指數（BMI）、空腹血糖（FPG）、胰島素、心鈉素（ANP）、腦鈉素（BNP）水平；心臟彩色多普勒超聲分別測E/A、e/a、S/D、LVEF、DT期。 結果 A2組BMI較A1、B組均明顯增加（Plt;0.05），A1、B組間差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。ANP、BNP及DT值在A1、A2組均較B組增高（Plt;0.05），BNP在A2組高于A1組（Plt;0.05），ANP、DT值在A1、A2組間差異均無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。E/A、e/a和S/D在A1、A2組均較B組降低（Plt;0.05），A1、A2組間差異均無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。A2組患者LVEF較A1、B組均明顯降低（Plt;0.05），A1、B組間差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。 結論 隨著胰島素抵抗加重，心肌舒張順應性較差和收縮力下降，伴隨相關激素（心臟利鈉肽）分泌增加，最終產生心功能不全的臨床表現、體征及多普勒超聲心動圖表現。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the clinical features and related hormone changes of diabetic cardiac insufficiency leaded by insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods From January to April 2008, 35 patients with T2DM (group A1: HOMA-IRlt;2.69, n=19; group A2: HOMA-IR≥ 2.69, n=16) and 20 subjects without T2DM (group B) were enrolled. The body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin (FINS), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and E/A, e/a, S/D, LVEF and DT stage of all subjects were detected. Results The BMI in group A2 was higher than those in group A1 and group B (Plt;0.05), while the difference between the later two groups was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The ANP, BNP and DT stage were all higher than those in group B (Plt;0.05), the BNP was higher in group A2 than in group A1 (Plt;0.05), while the difference of neither ANP nor DT stage between the later two groups was statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). The values of E/A, e/a and S/D in group A1 and A2 were all lower than those in group B (Plt;0.05), while there were no statistically significant diferences between group A1 and A2 (Pgt;0.05). The values of LVEF of group A1 and A2 were both significantly reduced than that in group B (Plt;0.05), and the values in group A2 were the lowest (Plt;0.05). Conclusion With the aggravating of insulin resistance, myocardial contractility and diastolic function will decline, meanwhile the ANP and BNP secretion will increase, and then the clinical and echocardiographic manifestation will appear.
Objective To investigate the early diagnosis of lower l imb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after major orthopedic surgeries. Methods From October 2005 to June 2009, color doppler sonography and hemorheology detection were carried out for 62 cases undergoing first total hip arthroplasty (THA), 14 cases undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and 86 cases undergoing hip fractures surgery (HFS) before operation and 1, 7, 14 days after operation. The plasma D-dimerlevels of the DVT were also examined for the THA patients before operation and 3 days after operation. Of all cases, therewere 89 males and 73 females, aged from 34 to 74 years (51.5 years on average). After operation, all the patients were treated with the regular low molecular weight heparin sodium against DVT. Results After operation, 17 cases (10.5%) developed DVT, including 8 THA cases, 1 TKA case, and 8 HFS cases. Preoperative color doppler sonography showed no abnormal echo, normal b blood flow signal, and normal periodical variation in vein blood flow without regurgitation. Postoperative examinations showed that the vascular occlusion of common femoral vein and popl iteal vein occurred in DVT patients. There were significant differences (P lt; 0.05) in whole blood viscosity between patients with DVT and without DVT after 1, 14 days and no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) before operation and 7 days after operation. There was no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) in plasma viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation index, between patients with DVT and without DVT pre- and postoperation. There was significant difference (P lt; 0.05) in erythrocyte deformation index between patients with DVT and without DVT 14 days after operation. The preoperative plasma D-dimer levels of patients with DVT and without DVT were (372.00 ± 148.62) ng/mL and (369.00 ± 141.03) ng/mL, respectively, showing no significant difference (P gt; 0.05); the 3 days postoperatively levels were (574.00 ± 217.29) ng/mL and (391.00 ± 120.16) ng/mL, respectively, showing significant difference (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Color doppler sonography in combination of hemorheology and plasma D-dimer examination can be beneficial for the early diagnosis of DVT in major orthopedic surgeries.
ObjectiveTo analyze the color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) features of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) at different stages. MethodsA retrospective study. A total of 104 patients with 201 eyes from Department of Ophthalmology of Beijing Tongren Hospital who were hospitalized for fundus examination and diagnosed with FEVR from 2018 to 2022 were included. There were 69 male cases with 133 eyes and 35 female cases with 68 eyes. The age was ranged from 2 months to 11 years, with a mean age of 2.9 years. Fundus and CDFI examination were performed in both eyes. Fluorescein fundus angiography was performed in 72 cases (144 eyes). FEVR staging was conducted according to literature standards. The presence of avascular areas in the peripheral retina or abnormal retina neovascularization was stage 1; the presence of retinal neovascularization at the vitreoretinal interface in the avascular area was stage 2; partial retinal detachment without macula involvement was stage 3; partial retinal detachment involving the macula was stage 4; complete retinal detachment was stage 5. The CDFI ultrasound features of FEVR at different stages were analyzed. The CDFI image features of FEVR patients in different stages were observed. ResultsAmong the 104 patients, 97 (93.3%, 97/104) cases were binocular and 7 (6.7%, 7/104) cases were monocular. In 201 eyes, stages 1 to 5 of FEVR were 49 (24.4%, 49/201), 23 (11.4%, 23/201), 39 (19.4%, 39/201), 71 (35.3%, 71/201), and 19 (9.5%, 19/201) eyes, respectively. CDFI examination showed no abnormality or mild vitreous opacity in 49 eyes vitreous body at stage 1. Vitreous opacities were observed in all 23 eyes in stage 2, and the echo of the temporal ballwall was not smooth. In 39 eyes at stage 3, the anterior globular cluster echo in temporal peripheral eyes was observed in 17 eyes and partial retinal detachment was observed in 13 eyes. In 71 eyes at stage 4, 51 eyes had temporal or infratemporal retinal folds, and 20 eyes had temporal retinal detachment. All the 19 eyes in stage 5 had total retinal detachment, of which 15 eyes had closed "funnel-shaped" retinal detachment. Among the patients with retinal folds, 13 had bilateral folds, and the fellow eyes of the other 25 patients with unilateral folds all had vitreous opacity or clump echo in front of the temporal spherical wall. Blood flow signals could be detected on the retinal folds with Doppler imaging. ConclusionsThe CDFI manifestations of FEVR patients at different stages have different characteristics. The possibility of FEVR should be considered when the temporal or infratemporal retinal folds of both eyes are present, as well as the retinal folds of one eye, the contralateral vitreous body opacity, or the anterior temporal peribulbar cluster echoes are present.
