Localization and estimation of histamine(HA)content in the wound edge in 81cases of SD rats were carried out by microfluorometric method specific for this aminewhich forms a complex with ophthalaedehyde(OPT).At the same time,thedistribution and the density of the mast calls in the same areas were observed byToluidine blue stain.in all skin specimens with antemortem wounds,both the epidermisand upper dermis exhibited extracellular yellowish fluorescente band of the HA-OPTcomplex.The zone spreaded in wound edge with the lapse of time in antemorteminjuries.The content of HA increased gradually up to 30′,and then yellow hista- mine fluorescence in areas 0-200? extended from wound edge decreased.None of thesefeatures could be observed in normal control skin and postmortemin jured skin.themast cell degranulation could be demonstrated in all antemortem injured skin.Nostatistic relationship between the degranulation of mast cell and the HA-OPTfluorescence existed in either ante-or post-mortem injured groups.This study indi-cated that the skin HA microfluoremetry by OPT method has practical value fordistingushing the ante-from post-mortem wounds and for timing antemortem wounds.

ObjectiveTo derive and evaluate the formula of exactly calculating the contrast dosage used during pulmonary CT angiography ( CTPA ). Methods Time density curves in 27 patients who underwent CTPA were collected and analyzed,the formula for calculating contrast dosage during CTPA was derived.68 patients suspected of pulmonary embolism ( PE ) clinically but no PE on CTPA were divided randomly into group A,with bolus tracing technique ( n =26 ),and group B,with small dose injection contrast test (SDCT) (n =42).The CT values of the right main pulmonary artery (RMPA),right upper pulmonary vein ( RUPV),right posterior basal PA,right lower PV (RLPV) and the aorta were calculated.The total contrast dosage and the hard beam artifact in the SVC were compared between the two groups.Student's t test,Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test were used.ResultsThe ratio of the time from starting injection to enhancement peak of caudal end of SVC and the time to enhancement peak of the main pulmonary trunk was 0.65 ±0.09 (about 2/3),the formula for contrast dosage calculation was derived as (DTs/3 + STs/2) FR ml/s.The CT values of RMPA and RLPA between the two groups[ (301 ±117),(329 ± 122) and (283 ±95),(277 ±98) HU respectively] were not significantly different (t =1.060,P =0.292 ;t =2.056,P =0.044),but the differences of CT values in the paired PA and PV between the two groups (median were 22.5,58.0 and 170.5,166.5 HU respectively ) were significant (U =292,P =0.001 and U =325,P =0.005),contrast artifact of the SVC (grade 1-3) in group B ( n =34,7,1 respectively) was significantly less than in group A (n =11,10,5 respectively,x2 =10.714,P =0.002),the contrast dosage injected in group A was ( 87.6 ± 7.3 ) ml,and in group B was ( 40.0 ±5.4) ml (P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionCTPA with SDCT technique is superior to that with conventional bolus tracing technique regarding contrast dosage and contrast artifact in the SVC.

Experimental studies on the myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury in 16 anaethetized SDrats,of which,8 animals were pretreated with morphine(5 mg/kg,i.p.)for preventing of arrhyth-mias,were studied immunocytochemically with anti-muscle actin specific monoclonal antibody (HHF_(35)),8 shan-operated rats were used as control.With HHF_(35) ABC immunocytochemical method,the area of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury(without morphine)showed decrease or ab-sence of staining,large areas of staining loss were also seen.In the group with morphine,only smallfoci of staining absence were shown.The myocardium in control animals showed evenly positive stain-ing.No change were seen with HE staining in all groups.The results obtained with HHF_(35) stainingsupport its important value in studying on myocardic reperfusion injury,and indicated that the degreeof myocardic damage may be relative to the arrhythmias in myocardial reperfusion injury.

Objective To study the CT manifestations of delayed traumatic hematomas of the brain and evaluate their diagnostic significance in predicting the delayed traumatic brain hematoma. Methods The manifestations of initial CT studies and follow-up CT examinations of 31 delayed traumatic brain hematomas were analyzed. Another 50 CT studies of head trauma without delayed brain hematomas were included randomly as control. Results The abnormal findings of CT studies of the 31 delayed traumatic brain hematomas included: (1)Decreased density of the local brain parenchyma and disappeared difference between gray and white matter of the same area in 18 cases; (2)Local subarachnoid space hemorrhage in 24 cases; (3)Slight mass effect of local brain parenchyma in 16 cases. (4)Subdural hematoma in 9 cases. The locations of the abnormalities were roughly the same with the delayed hematoma except one local subarachnoid space hemorrhage, which was in the opposite of the delayed hematoma. The appearing rate of those abnormal findings in the control group was low and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The decrease of density of local brain parenchyma, the disappeared difference between the gray and white matter, local subarachnoid space hemorrhage, and local swollen of brain presented in the initial CT study of the patient with head trauma should be taken as indicators of delayed hemorrhage of the same area of brain, and it is necessary to do follow-up CT studies to exclude it.

Objective To summarize the cl inical characteristics and imaging features of psittacosis. Methods The clinical features and imaging appearances of 3 cases with acute psittacosis were retrospectively analyzed. The related literature was reviewed . Results The clinical manifestation of psittacosis was high fever in the patients. Physical findings included pulse-temperature dis sociation, localized lung crackles, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly. Laboratory findings showed elevation of ESR in all cases, and liver dysfunction was present in 2 cases. The counts of white blood cells were normal, but the percent of ne utrophils might be increased. The chest X-ray and CT scan showed air-space co nsolidation and ground-glass attenuation in the lung, and miliary, nodular, or consolidated shadows were found in pathological areas. Pleural effusions were a lso present in 2 cases. Psittacosis was diagnosed from the history of exposure to infected parrots and elevation of the IgG and IgM titer for Chlamydia psittac i. Erythromycin was effective in all 3 patients. Conclusion Although the appearance of psittacosis on clinical findings and chest X-r ay and CT scan is not characteristic, psittacosis can be diagnosed with the comb ination of the history of exposure to infected parrots and laboratory findings. CT scan can reveal the focus earlier and accurately, and catching the imaging f eatures of psittacosis is helpful in differential diagnosis.
