Objective To compare three kinds of double-dosimetry algorithms used in estimating interventional radiology worker's effective dose.Methods TLDs were put in the Alderson Radiation Therapy Phantom (ARTP) dressed with lead apron,lead cap and lead collar.TLDs were put on the front left chest inside the lead apron and on the left outside lead collar,respectively.Radiation scattering models,intensity-modulated radiotherapy body model at one time and CT dose detection model at another time,were put on the operating table.The ARTP was set at the major operator's position exposed to the Xray,mimicking the real interventional radiology operation.Effective doses were estimated on the basis of organ absorbed doses.Effective doses were also obtained by the use of three kinds of double-dosimetry algorithms.The later three effective doses were compared with the first one.Results Two groups of effective doses were obtained,with each including four data.For intensity-modulated radiotherapy body model,effective doses were 0.138 mSv for phantom method,0.097 mSv for NCRP algorithm,0.161 mSv for Niklason's algorithm and 0.173 mSv for Boetticher's algorithm,respectively.For CT dose detection model,effective doses were 0.018,0.013,0.019 and 0.026 mSv,respectively.The result obtained by using the Niklason's algorithm was the closest to that by using phantom method.Conclusions Niklason's algorithm is more accurate and more practical in eatimating interventional radiology worker's effective dose.

Objective To explore quality of life (QOL) of spouses of spinal cord injury patients,as well as its influencing factors.Methods Sixty-eight spouses of spinal cord injury patients were recruited as an observation group.At the same time,another 70 healthy married people who had no serious chronic diseases in the family but were matched in gender,age,occupation and education were chosen as a control group.The QOL of all the subjects in both groups was investigated by way of a questionnaire survey.The results of both groups were compared and factors that influenced their QOL were explored.Results The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients,including total QOL ( 3.22 ± 0.37 ),physiological function ( 60.57 ± 14.22 ),psychological state ( 60.09 ± 8.06 ),social relations (63.37 ± 8.10 ) and the living environment (66.86 ± 11.26 ) were significantly lower than in the control group (4.62 ± 0.75 ; 82.48 ± 10.92 ; 86.02 ± 8.75 ; 85.94 ± 10.13 and 83.23 ± 9.54,respectively).The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients was closely related to the patient's injury type,injury position,the treatment protocol,as well as their own gender,vocation and education.Conclusion The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients is significantly lower than that of normal people,and closely related with the patients' injury type,injury position and treatment,as well as their own gender,vocation and education.

Objective To investigate effects and safety of dexmedetomidine on the prevention of abnormal mental in patients after liver transplantation.Methods 160 patients after liver transplantation were randomly divided into the two groups using the drawing method:midazolam group(n =80),dexmedetomidine group(n =80),compared the two groups of patients with general,mental abnormality and the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results There were no significant differences in the general situation (gender,age,postoperative ventilator time,ICU stay time,oper-ation time,blood FK506 concentration,APACHEII score 24 hours after operation)of the two groups of patients (P >0.05),the spirit of the abnormal rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P =0.009), incidence of hypotension and hypertension in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P =0.035,0.029).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the postoperative mental disorders in patients in the early stage after liver transplantation.

Objective To observe the relationship between morphology of ciliary body and glaucoma with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Methods Eighty shallow-anterior chamber patients and 80 normal-anterior chamber patients were enrolled as shallow-anterior chamber group and control group, respectively. All patients were greater than 40 years old. The shallow-anterior chamber group included 28 patients of acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG subgroup), 26 patients of chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG subgroup), and 26 patients of primary angle-closure suspects (PACS subgroup). Both eyes of all patients were checked with UBM, and position of each eye on sagittal and coronal section of superior, nasal, inferior and temporal were recorded. Then ciliary process height (CPH), ciliary process thickness (CPT), ciliary process interval (CPI), ciliary process number (CPN), A angle and α angle were measured. Furthermore, the difference between shallow-anterior chamber group and control group, the difference between AACG, CACG and PACS subgroup were compared, as well as the difference between PACS subgroup and control group, and the correlation between A angle and α angle was analyzed. Results Compared with control group, CPH and CPT of shallow-anterior chamber group increased, while CPI, CPN, A angle and α angle decreased (P<0.05). Except CPH and CPN between CACG and PACS subgroup, there were significant differences of parameters between subgroup of AACG, CACG and PACS (P<0.05). CPH of PACS subgroup increased than those of control group, while CPI, CPN, A angle and α angle decreased (P<0.05). There was positive correlation between A angle and α angle. Conclusion Morphologic parameters of ciliary process may be sensitive indexes which can early screen primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Objective To discuss the feasibility of displaying the extrahepatic feeding arteries in hepatocellular carcinoma with the help of multi-slice spiral CT 3D reconstruction and to assess the clinical value of this technique. Methods Triple-phase enhanced CT scanning with a 64-slice spiral CT scanner was performed in 89 patients with advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Three-dimensional reconstruction techniques,including maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR),with arterial phase images,were used to display the origination and course of both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic supplying arteries of HCC. The results were compared with the angiographic findings. Results Of 59 cases with massive type HCC,extrahepatic supplying arteries were found in 33. In 21 cases of diffuse type HCC four showed extrahepatic supplying arteries,and in nine cases of nodular type HCC only one had extra-hepatic supplying arteries. The HCC could get their extrahepatic blood supply via eight pathways. A total of 44 extrahepatic supplying arteries were detected,and 19 anomalously originated hepatic arteries were found. Conclusion The extrahepatic supplying arteries in hepatocellular carcinoma are common findings and their supplying pattern are extremely varied,which may be associated with the type and location of the tumors. Three-dimensional reconstruction technique with the help of triple-phase enhanced CT scanning on a 64-slice spiral CT scanner can provide excellent images as vivid and ideal as angiography can afford. Therefore,the times of angiography examination,the use of contrast media as well as the dose of radiation to both the patients and the physicians can be reduced as far as possible. The detailed information about extrahepatic blood supply is very useful for improving the therapeutic result of HCC.

AlM: To observe the effects of the coelomic cavity injection of triamcinolone acetonide ( TA) combined with laser photocoagulation on patients with retinal vein occlusion.
METHODS:Fifty-six patients of retinal obstruction with macular edema were accepted from January 2010 to December 2012 in our hospital. All patients received iodized lecithin and Xueshuantong. And, patients with central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO ) , hemi- central retinal vein occlusion ( hemi-CRVO ) and branch retinal vein occlusion ( BRVO ) treated by TA combined with laser photocoagulation, respectively. Follow-up period was of at least 6mo
RESULTS: After the treatment of 1, 3 and 6mo, the central foveal thickness was reduced significantly ( P<0. 05). After followed up 6-12mo, the total effective rate of CRVO, Hemi-CRVO and BRVO patients was 83% ~95% and all the patients had no significant adverse reactions.
CONCLUSlON:Basing on the traditional treatment, TA combined with laser photocoagulation is more effective in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion and is worthy of clinical usage.
