Journal of Practical Radiology 2016;32(4):599-602
Objective To investigate the value of Multi-slice Spiral CT Angiography (MSCTA)in diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery (SMA)diseases.Methods The image features of SMA diseases in 40 patients were reviewed retrospectively using volume rendering (VR),multiplanar reconstruction (MPR),curved planar reconstruction (CPR),maximum intensity projection and other post-processing reconstruction technique.Results 16 patients have SMA ischemia including 8 cases of SMA acute occlusion;1 case of acute occlusion with small intestinal ischemic necrosis who has had surgery to remove the necrotic intestine.8 cases of SMA chronic occlusion;10 cases of spontaneous isolated dissection of SMA;7 cases of true aneurysm of SMA;1 case of SMA pseudoaneurysm associating with infective endocarditic;3 cases of SMA ulcer,including 1 case of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA)severe stenosis;2 cases of severe stenosis of celiac trunk;1 case of occlusion of IMA. In total of 40 cases,13 were with collateral circulation associating with SMA diseases,of which 4 were SMA chronic occlusion,3 were SMA acute occlusion,1 was spontaneous isolated dissection of SMA,1 was SMA pseudoaneurysm,1 was IMA stenosis,1 was IMA occlusion and 2 were celiac trunk severe stenosis,which was included collateral circulation of the anterior and posterior arterial arcades in 3 cases,collateral circulation of the dorsal pancreatic artery in 2 cases,Riolan’s arcade in 10 cases.Conclusion MSCT could clearly display SMA diseases and the establishment of collateral circulation,and evaluate intestinal ischemia.
2.Diagnostic significance of immunophenotyping in the patients of myelodysplastic syndrome
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(05):-
The myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)is a group of clonal haematopoietic stem cell diseases characterized by ineffective haematopoiesis,dysplasia and aberrational expression of cell surface markers.Therefore,immunophenotyping of blast cells,granulocytes and monocytes is helpful to distinguish between MDS and non-MDS.The immunophenotyping is a complicated process.So the uniform diagnostic standard is the key to the comparabe and reliable results.
3.The reliability study of urinary microalbumin test by dry hemical method
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;30(3):229-231
Objective The quantitation measurement of microalbuminuria was adopted to verify the feasibility of urinary microalbumin and ratio of mieroalbumin to creatinine (M/C) detection with dry hemieal method. Methods Totally 80 urine samples from the patients with clinically diagnosed dia-betes were tested by the immune quantitation method (immunoturhidimetric assay) and dry heroical method (HT2000 urine analyzer and test paper, Guilin Hnatong Company) simultaneously. Sarcosine oxidase method was applied to measuring creatinine level. Ten cases of outliers were removed. With the quantitation result of M/C as the reference standard, immune quatilyzation of the M/C as refer-ence, we compared and analyzed the results of the immune quantilization of urine microalbumin, those of the dry chemistry method and of the dry chemistry system detecting M/C. Results There was sig-nificant differences in test results of urinary microalbumin with the dry chemistry method and the im-mune quantitation method (P<0.01) The sensitivity, accuracy and Youden index of the microalbu-minuria testing had been observed to decrease in order in immune the dry chemistry method, the im-mune quantitation method and M/C quantitation detection method. Conclusion The sensitivity of semi-quantitation dry chemical method is satisfactory in detecting microalbumin, which may be used as a means of microalbumin screening. M/C detection with the dry chemical method isn't suitable for screening microalbumin in instant urine samples.
