1. The application of cortical somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in child scoliosis surgery
Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2003;15(1):59-61
Objective: To study the application value of cortical somatosensory evoked potential (CSEP) monitoring in child scoliosis surgery. Methods: In surgeries of fifty-one children with scoliosis, the CSEP changes were continuously recorded by evoked potential instrument. The operations were performed under the guidance of CSEP monitoring. Results: Before propping and reshaping, the latencies and amplitudes in all cases had no change. During propping and reshaping, the latencies of all cases were slowly elongated, but all less than 10 percent. The amplitudes in 15 cases dropped to 55 percent, but returned to 80 percent 3-8 minutes after stopping the operations or partially loosening the propped rods at once. The amplitude in one case suddenly dropped to 37 percent and returned to 54 percent half an hour after loosening the propped rods at once and recovered to the normal range one day after operation. All cases got ideal orthopedic results and no one had neurological complications post operation. Conclusion: CSEP can accurately monitor the spinal injury and has a great value in preventing the spinal injury in child scoliosis surgery.

Journal of Interventional Radiology 2009;18(12):923-926
Objective to compare the calculated effective radiation dose variations in cardiac interventional procedures of coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCI) by using the different tissue weighting factors recommended by ICRP Publication 60 with that recommended by ICRP Publication 103. Methods Measurements of organ doses were carried out with an anthropomorphic phantom equipped with thermoluminecent dosimetry. The effective radiation doses were separately calculated using the tissue weighting factors provided by ICRP 60 and provided by ICRP 103, and the results obtained from ICRP 60 were compared with that obtained from ICRP 103. Conversion factors of effective, radiation dose to dose area product (DAP) were also calculated according to different publication.Results The variations in the effective dose were 6.88% for CAG and 8.46% for PCI. The effective dose variations in CAG and PCI were. 7.25% and 8.76% for female and were 6.51% and 8.17% for male,respectively. The effective conversion factors of DAP were. 0.10 ~ 0.11 and 0.13 ~ 0.14 for CAG and PCI,respectively, according to ICRP 60 and 103. Conclusion The variation of conversion factors of effective dose indicates that in making estimation of effective radiation dose. by using the widely accepted conversion factors, the adjustment of organ weighting factors recommended by ICRP 103 should be considered.

Objective To assess the dose and image quality using a C-arm CT (DynaCT) system and compare the difference of image quality and radiation dose between DynaCT and Multi slice CT (MSCT). Methods Effective doses were measured from an anthropomorphic phantom with embedded thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs).For DynaCT,automatic exposure control (AEC) and high-quality (20 s rotation time) scans were used. For MSCT,scanning protocols for head were examined with conventional exposure conditions. Catphan phantom(Phantom Lab,USA) was used to evaluate the image quality for DynaCT and MSCT. Results For DynaCT,the effective doses from head scanning were 1.10 mSv; for MSCT,the effective doses from head scanning were 2.07 mSv,and there was a significant difference of organ dose between DynaCT and MSCT(P

Objective To investigate the influence of organ dose and effective dose on patients for different Z value during head,chest and abdomen CT scan. Methods With equispaced displacement on axis Z,organ dose and effective dose was estimated by using SR250 software with commonly used CT exposure parameters. Results Effective dose changed gradually for different Z value,some organ dose was sensitive to the Z location. Conclusion It is necessary to avoid X-ray sensitive organ in CT examination to minimize radiation risk.

Objective To establish an animal model of vulnerable plaque in abdominal aorta by pharmacological triggering of atherosclerosis in rabbits. Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly and equally divided into 3 groups: group A, receiving balloon injury together with high lipid diet; group B, receiving high lipid diet only, and group C, receiving regular diet only. After feeding for 12 weeks, all the rabbits in three groups underwent pharmacological triggering with Chinese Russell's viper venom (CRVV) and histamine to induce the rupture of the plaque and the formation of thrombosis. Results In 8 survival rabbits of group A, ten lesions with the stenotic degree over 50% were found, which had large lipid core with the thickness of fibrous cap being thinner than 65μm, by which these ten lesions were judged as vulnerable plaques. In 9 rabbits of group B, only 3 vulnerable plaques could be determined, while no single vulnerable plaque could be identified in the rabbits of group C. Conclusion For establishing an animal model of vulnerable plaque in abdominal aorta in rabbits, balloon injury combined with high lipid diet is a feasible and reliable method.
