Objective To study the feasibility of the measurement of the thickness of rabbit knee joint cartilage by comparing the optical coherence tomography (OCT)and the undecalcified frozen section method on respectively measure the thickness of New Zeal-and white rabbit’s knee cartilage.Methods 50 standardized cultivation,adult and male New Zealand white rabbits (100 knees) were selected in this study.The measurement point was at the knee weight-bearing area of the medial femoral condyle with a 2 milli-meter diameter trephine,and the cartilage thickness data at the same center point and ±0.5 mm from the center were obtained.OCT and freeze-sectioning method were adopted at each site,respectively.The difference between OCT and histological method was com-pared and Bland-Altman plot was constructed.Results The thickness results of the center,+0.5 mm,-0.5 mm points were (296.5± 1.6)μm,(302.6± 3.5)μm,(287.9±5.6)μm by OCT,(278.4±1.9)μm,(290.3±5.9)μm,(280.3±4.6)μm by freeze-sectio-ning method,respectively.In Bland-Altman diagram,mean difference and 95% confidence interval were 18.1 1 (1 6.65,1 9.56)μm, 12.4 (5.5,1 9.2)μm,7.4 (2.8,12.0)μm.Intra-class correlation coefficients(ICC)for resemblance between the 2 techniques were 0.93(95%CI:0.89-0.95,P <0.000 1),0.84(95%CI:0.77-0.89,P <0.000 1),0.91(95%CI:0.87 -0.94,P <0.000 1),respec-tively.Conclusion As compared with the measurement of undecalcified frozen section,OCT for the rabbits’knee joint cartilage thickness measurement is feasible with the advantages of noninvasiveness,good repeatability.OCT can provide data reference in ani-mal experiments of cartilage tissue engineering for articular cartilage defect repair.

BACKGROUND: Splenic autotransplantation has been presently involved in the treatment of traumatic splenic rupture. Yhere have been retoorts regarding nuclein examination and immunologic test used to monitor splenic autotransplant. But little is known about ultrasonic visualization for follow up of splenic autotransplant. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of ultrasonography in monitoring splenic autotransplant survival and growth. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The present retrospective case analysis Was performed at the Department of Ultrasonography. Shenzhen Second People's Hospital between January 2000 and December 2004.PARTICIPANTS:Eighteen patients undergoing splenectomy and suffering from traumatic splenic rupture,13 males and 5 females. aged 20-42 years, were included for this study. METHODS: Non-injured autologous splenic tissue was prepared into thin sections with an area of(2-4)cm×(1-3)cm and a thickness of≤0.5 cm. And transplanted into the greater omentum with abundant vessels in patients undergoing splenectomy.A1118 patients received ultrasonography at 3,6,and 12 months after splenic transplantation, and were subjected to spleen imaging with99Tcm-heat damaged red blood cells. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nuclein examination of splenic autotransplant survival and growth. RESULTS: Splenic autotransplants survived and gradually grew in 14 of 18 patients. Splenic autotransplants exhibited low level echo similar to normal spleen, regular contour, clear boundary, and visible internal blood flow signal. Splenic autotransplants were not found growing in 4 patients with accessory spleen. CONCLUSION: Ultrasonography can precisely monitor splenic autotransplant survival and growth.

Objective To assess the diagnostic performance of real-time contrast-enhanced ultra-sound Sonovuein diagnosing minute rabbit liver VX 2 tumors with diameter ≤10.0 mm.Methods Thir-ty New Zealand white rabbits inoculated with VX 2 tumor ( left, right lobe of each ) were examined by two-di-mensional ultrasound and CEUS .The contrast enhanced mode of small rabbit liver VX 2 tumors in different phase was observed and tumor in the rabbit's liver was pathologically verified .The diagnostic performances of two-dimensional US and CEUS in detecting the rabbit VX 2 tumors were analyzed and compared .Results Thirty-nine tumors were pathologically verified .The detection rates of small tumors by CEUS and two-di-mensional US were 12.8% and 79.5%, respectively , yielded significantly higher than that of 2-D US.

Objective To probe the value of ultrasound in detection of malignant foci among multiple thyroid nodules. Methods Ultrasonograms of 83 patients with pathologically confirmed thyroid cancer combined with benign nodules were analyzed.Results Among 83 patients of thyroid carcinoma, 89 malignant and 87 benign nodules were detected with ultrasound. Significant differences of two-dimensional ultrasounic signs including low echoes, border fuzzy, micro-calcification and rear echo attenuation were found bteween malignant and benign nodules (P<0.01). There were significant differences in the grade Ⅱ, Ⅲ blood flow between malignant and benign ones (P<0.01). Of 89 malignant nodules, small thyroid carcinoma with diameter ≤1 cm accounted for 52.81% (47/89), and ultrasound diagnostic rate of all cancer nodules was 67.42% (60/89).Conclusion Ultrasounic characteristics including low echoes, border fuzzy, micro-calcification, rear echo attenuation and internal rich blood flow contribute to differentiate the thyroid microcarcinoma from multinodules.In particular, the microcarcinoma should not be ignored.

Objective:To determine the application effect of the "full chain" information-based health management model in the home care of children with bronchial asthma.Methods:Sixty children with bronchial asthma who were hospitalized in the Respiratory Department of Xuzhou Children's Hospital from January to June 2020 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group according to a random number table with 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, and the observation group implemented a "full-chain" informatized health management on the basis of the control group.The intervention time was 6 months. The condition control, medication compliance, self-management and airway function were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:After 6 months of intervention, the frequency of attacks, emergency cases, the medication compliance, the maximum expiratory flow rate, symptom days and peak expiratory flow days were 6.67%(2/30), 3.33%(1/30), 93.33%(28/30), (1.83±0.23) L, (163.00±6.74) d, (168.00±3.78) d in the observation group, and 26.67%(8/30), 20.00%(6/30), 66.67%(20/30), (1.67±0.24) L, (144.00±5.88) d, (157.00±4.08) d in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (χ 2 values were 4.320, 4.043, 6.667, t values were 2.636, 11.635, 10.833, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ratio of forced expiratory volume and forced expiratory volume in forced vital capacity in the first second after 6 months of intervention between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:"Full chain" information health management can reduce the number of attacks and emergency visits of children with asthma, effectively improve medication compliance, thus improving airway function and improving the quality of life of children.
