Objective To explore the incidence of the carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque in patients with cerebral infarction(CI).Methods 138 CI patients on their carotid artery were examed with color doppler ultrasonography.The incidence,stability and location of the carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque in CI patients were observed and compared with those of the normal controls.Results 120 cases(87.7%) of the 138 CI patients were turned out 175 atherosclerotic plaques.36 cases of the 140 normal controls were turned out to be with atherosclerotic plaque(25.7%).There was significant difference between the two groups(P

Purpose To discuss the main index of the colour ultrasonographic diagnosis of children's left Renal Vein Entrapment Sydrome(LRVES).Methods By colour ultrasonography,urine microscope examination and urine Ca/Cr ratio determination,eighty-two LRVES children were diagnosed and compared with forty healthy children.Observed at supine position whether narrow caused by pressure or the expanding phenomenon of LRV after being pressed,to examine the ratio of the abdominal aorta(AO) left internal diameter(a) to the front internal diameter(b) of LRV,by using CDFI,blood flow rate in the left lateral position of LRV was judged.Simultaneously,the angle(?) between superio mesentery artery(SMA) and AO was detected.Then standing upright for twenty minutes,and determined a/b ratio.Results In the LRVES group,the LRV blood vessels become narrower,a/b was over 3 at supine position,after standing upright for twenty minutes,a/b was over 4;and LRV blood flow rate becomes slower,? angle becomes smaller,compared with the healthy group,there was statistical significance.Conclusions The main indexes of the LRVES of ultrasonographic diagnosis is to observe the a/b ratio of LRV before and after being pressed (lying on the back and standing upright for twenty minutes) and to detecte the blood flow rate of LRV before pressure and judege the angle between SMA and AO.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of obtaining good quality ultrasound pictures of sutures and anterior fontanelle with three-dimensional and two-dimensional ultrasound. Methods Eighty fetuses at 16-35 weeks of gestation were evaluated with two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound. The sagittal, coronal, lambdoidal and metopic sutures, as well as anterior fontanelle, were inspected. Results The visualization of the sagittal suture of three-dimensional ultrasound was significantly superior to that of two-dimensional ultrasound, while no significant difference in visualization of the metopic, lambdoidal, coronal sutures and anterior fontanelle was found between the two modalities. The visualization of all sutures and anterior fontanelle was significantly superior with three-dimensional ultrasonography to that of two-dimensional ultrasonography before 30 weeks of gestation, whereas no significant difference was found between the two modalities after 30 weeks of gestation. Conclusion Three-dimensional ultrasound can provide more comprehensive information of fetal cranial sutures and anterior fontanelle than two-dimensional ultrasound does. Three-dimensional ultrasound can also supply high visualization of all sutures and anterior fontanelle before 30 weeks of gestation.

Objective To assess the application value of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound in visualizing fetal cranial sutures and fontanels. Methods One hundred women at different pregnant ages (16-19~+ weeks, 20-24~+ weeks, 25-29~+ weeks, 30-34~+ weeks, respectively) underwent 3D ultrasound, in order to observe the cranial sutures and fontanels of fetuses. Results ①Most cranial sutures and fontanels (70.00%-98.00%) could be visualized with 3D ultrasound. However, the sagittal suture revealed a lower displaying rate (53.00%) than others. ②At different pregnant ages, there was no significant difference of displaying rate of the metopic, coronal, squamoal sutures and the sphenoid, mastoid fontanels between fetuses and there was significant difference of displaying rate of the anterior and post fontanels, sagittal and lambdoid sutures. Conclusion 3D ultrasound can be used as an effective method for visualizing fetal cranial sutures and fontanels.

Objective To distinguish diagnostic value of colour ultrasonography in parotid gland masses. Methods With high frequency probe, 10MHz, the colour ultrasonic imaging of 38 cases parotid gland masses were comparatively studied with operation and pathology.Results By the B-ultrasonic and colour doppler flow imaging of parotid gland masses were comprehensive analyzed, the parotid gland masses were diagnosed for the great majority of the cases in preoperation.Conclusions The colour ultrasonography has relatively high value in the differential diagnosis of parotid gland masses.
