Objective:To evaluate the image quality of dual-source computed tomography pulmonary angiography (DE-CTPA) with low-dose contrast agent using the advanced modeled iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE) method with 70 kVp and non-linear blending in overweight patients.Methods:Seventy patients (normal BMI, 35; overweight, 35) with suspected pulmonary embolization who underwent DE-CTPA between October 2018 and March 2019 were included in this study. The imaging protocol included assessments at 70 kV/sn150 kV with 30 ml of contrast agent, and images were obtained at 70 kVp and 150 kVp with and without linear blending. The CT value, SD value, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of pulmonary arteries were compared and analyzed among groups 1 (70 kVp, normal BMI), 2 (non-linear blending, normal BMI), 3 (70 kVp, overweight), and group 4 (non-linear blending, overweight). The radiation dose parameters included CT volume dose index (CTDI vol), dose length product (DLP), and effective dose ( E). Results:The CT values for the pulmonary artery did not show significant differences among the four groups ( P>0.05). The SD value of the segmental artery in group 1 was higher than that in group 4 ( t=2.69, P<0.05). The SNR values of the pulmonary artery trunk and sub-segmental artery in group 2 were higher than those in group 3 ( t=1.44, 5.40, P<0.05), while the corresponding value of the left pulmonary artery trunk in group 2 was higher than those in groups 3 and 4 ( t=1.52, 1.52, P<0.05). The CNR values of the pulmonary artery trunk and sub-segmental artery in group 2 were higher than those in group 3 ( t=1.45, 5.01, P<0.05) and that of the left pulmonary artery trunk in group 2 was higher than those in groups 3 and 4 ( t=1.50, 1.50, P<0.05). The E values for normal BMI and overweight patients were(1.60±0.54)mSv and(1.88±0.45)mSv, respectively. Conclusions:For overweight patients, the CTPA protocol using ADMIRE with a 70 kV/sn150 kV scanning mode could yield diagnostic image quality with significantly lower radiation and contrast material doses.

Objective To evaluate the effect of individualized rehabilitation extended nursing on activities of daily living (ADL) in children with cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 156 cases of non-operative children with severe disorder of cerebral palsy from January to December 2017 in Sichuan 81 Rehabilitation Center, of 101 males and 55 females, aged 2-7 years with weighting 9 to 21 kg, were divided into 2 groups according to the time sequence, of which 70 cases of January to June 2017 before extension nursing as control group and 86 cases of July to December 2017 after extension nursing as observation group. The control group was received routine nursing according to the ADL rating scale, and the observation group was adopted the extended nursing method, according to the ADL rating scale to evaluate and judge the barrier grade, and chosen the suitable measures for rehabilitation nursing according to the individualized principle.The rehabilitation assessment was carried out before extended nursing (W0), the second week after extended nursing (W2), fourth week (W4), sixth week (W6), eighth week (W8), tenth week (W10), and twelfth week (W12) respectively. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, weight and ADL scores at the time point of W0between the two groups (P>0.05). The ADL scores of the two groups were increased with the treatment time, and the increase of the observation group was greater than that of the control group. Compared with the control group, the ADL scores of the observation group were increased significantly at the time of W4to W12(P<0.01).After 12 weeks of treatment, there were 25 cases of mild disorders (29% ), 46 cases of moderate disorder (53.5% ) and 15 cases of severe disorder (17.5% ) in the observation group, and 3 cases of mild disorders (4.3% ), 38 cases of moderate disorder (54.3% ) and 29 cases of severe disorder (41.4% ) in the control group, and the observation group was obviously better than that of the control group (χ2=21.083,P<0.01). Conclusion Individualized rehabilitation extended nursing can improve ADL in children with cerebral palsy.
