Objective To assess intraplaque hemorrhage before carotid artery stenting (CAS)by use of 3D-MPRAGE and DWI sequence.Methods Thirty-two symptomatic patients who had carotid artery plaque suspected by color Doppler ultrasonography and prepared for CAS underwent 3.0T carotid high-resolution MR scans,including regular sequence,T1-weighted gradient echo three-di-mensional magnetization prepared (3D-MPRAGE ) sequence,diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI ) sequences.According to 3D-MPRAGE sequence hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage groups were divided,and measured the mean ADC values of the two groups, hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage part in the hemorrhage group.Meanwhile preoperative cerebral hemorrhage group underwent brain DWI scans.Independent samples t-test analysis was utilized by SPSS V20.0 statistical software.Results High-resolution MRI dis-played 40 plaques,fourteen hemorrhagic plaques showed by 3D-MPRAGE sequence.The mean ADC values of hemorrhage and no-hemorrhage group were(1 233.5±283.5)× 10 -6 mm2/s,(1 688.9 ± 449.6)× 10 -6 mm2/s respectively,the difference of both was significant (t=3.43,P <0.05).The mean ADC values of hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage parts in the hemorrhage group mean ADC values were (934.0 ± 387.9)× 10-6 mm2/s,(1 313.9 ± 295.0)× 10-6 mm2/s respectively;the difference of both was statistically significant (t=2.92,P < 0.05 ).The difference of mean ADC values between non-hemorrhage part in the hemorrhage group and hemorrhage group was statistically significant (t=2.80,P <0.05).Conclusion 3D-MPRAGE and DWI sequences can be evaluated intraplaque hemorrhage before CAS,and provided a reliable basis for timely clinical interventions to prevent stroke.

Objective:To explore the expression of CD23,CD19 on peripheral blood lymphocytes as well as its association with serum total IgE levels and nasal allergic symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis(AR). Method:Symptom scores were evaluated in 46 AR patients,expression of CD23,CD19 on peripheral blood lymphocytes were measured by flow cytometry,and serum total IgE levels were determined by immune chemiluminescence. Thirty two healthy individuals were enrolled as controls.Result:The percentage of CD23~+,CD19~+ and CD23~+/CD19~+,on peripheral blood lymphocytes in AR patients were 11.6±1.9,22.8±3.3,10.2±1.7,respectively.Higher frequencies of CD23~+,CD19~+,and CD23~+/CD19~+ were found in AR patients compared with controls (P<0.05).There were positive correlations between expression rates of CD23~+,CD19~+,CD23~+/CD19~+ and levels of serum total IgE,nasal allergi symptom scores,respectively.CD23~+ /CD19~+ demonstrated greater correlations with serum total IgE and nasal allergic symptom(r=0.65 and 0.49,P<0.05)than CD23~+ and CD19~+ did.Correlation between CD23~+/CD19~+ and nasal allergic symptom scores was greater than the corresponding correlations of serum total IgE(r=0.33,P<0.05).Conclusion:CD23 and CD19 are important factors that associated with serum total IgE in the pathogenesis of AR,Analysis on the expression of CD23~+/CD19~+ on peripheral blood lymphocytes is helpful for evaluating the severity of AR.

Objective To study the effect of three dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy and prognostic factors for postoperative local recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinomas.Methods A total of 468 patieuts with postoperative local recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinomas were retrospectively analyzed.The median interval between surgery and recurrence was 14.95 months (2-252 months).There were 45 patients with supraclavicular lympy node relapse,291 with mediastinal lymph node relapse,4 with abdominal lymph node relapse,15 with anastomosis relapse,89 with supraclavicular and mediastinal lymph node relapse,11 with anastomosis and mediastinal lymph node relapse,7 with mediastinal and abdominal lymph node relapse,1 with supraclavicular and anastomosis relapse,2 with supraclavicular and abdominal lymph node relapse,3 with anastomosis,mediastinal and supraclavicular lymph node relapse.There were 224 patients who received three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy,and the other 244 patients of intensity-modulated radiation therapy,with a median dose of 59.4 Gy (40-70 Gy).A total of 166 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate;Log-rank test was used for univariate prognostic analysis;Cox regression test was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results The follow-up rate was 95.3%.The recent curative effect in the effective rate was 81.6%,with 41.2% CR rate.The overall 1,2,3,4 years of survival rates after radiotherapy were 61%,32%,21%,14% respectively and the median survival time was 17.6 months.Univariate analysis showed that age,.pathologic stage,the number of positive lymph node cleaning,the recurrence area,single or multiple lesions,the size of the lesion,overall response rate,radiation dose,and chemotherapy (x2 =4.814-247.322,P < 0.05) were associated with prognosis.Multivariate analysis showed that age,pathologic stage,the recurrence area,single or multiple lesions,the size of the lesion,overall response rate,radiation dose,and chemotherapy (P <0.05) were independent prognostic factors.A total of 370 patients had progressive diseases after radiotherapy,176 had local failure 47.57% (176/370),148 had distant metastasis 40.00% (148/370) and 16 had both local and distant failures 4.32% (16/370).One case died of pneumonia;2 cases died of acute myocardial infarction;1 case died of cerebral hemorrhage;26 cases died of unknown cause (including lost to follow-up).Lung was the most common distant metastatic site.Conclusions Radiotherapy may improve the survival of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with postoperative recurrence.Patients with less than 70 years old,early postoperative stage,single recurrent lesion,initial small lesions,response to radiotherapy,radiation dose of higher than 59.4 Gy,chemoradiation might have better prognosis.

Objective To explore the ultrasound performance and related factors on the role of normal living rabbit's liver by laser ablation. Methods The rabbit's liver tissue were ablated by Echolaser integrated laser interventional ultrasound system, and the necrosis of the lesion and performance of pathology and anatomy were observed. Results The outline of the lesion was ellipse like. The two-dimensional US showed regular hyperecho area in the center, mild strong echo in the peripheral and mild attenuation backward. Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed a filling defect of contrast media in the ablated area. After dissection, the center of the lesion was slag-like carbon, the peripheral was necrosis area; HE staining showed: the center of the lesion was cavity like and dye-free,peripheral area was irregular red staining, the surrounding area was infiltrative inflammatory cells. Different power and time leaded to differences of the ablative effect and lesion size:the more power and time,the bigger of the ablative size. The ablative effect and lesion size was stable in 3 W 10 min and 5 W 6 min groups and caused the complete necrosis of the zone, there existed statistical differences among the two groups. Conclusions Laser ablation can cause fast, precise, effective and safe necrosis of the liver tissue, and the more power and time, the bigger of the ablative size.
