Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2009;32(17):24-26
Objective To study the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasonography in hematoma of soft tissues, and compare the images of different period of hematoma. Method Analyzed and compared the size,shape and sonographic characteristic of 46 cases with hematoma. Results The images of hematoma were round or oval in shape, more than 2.0 cm in trans-diameter, and were isoechoic or hypocchoic in the early stage, then anoechoic areas increased with hyperechoic septum and irregular hypoechoic, with posterior enhancement and hyperechoic boundary. A part of muscle fibres raptured and were occupied by the hematoma if the muscle tore. Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography can be the first choice and reliable imaging method to diagnose hematoma of soft tissues.

Chinese Journal of Digestive Endoscopy 2010;27(11):585-588
Objective To improve the ingestion protocol of esophageal capsule endoscopy in right lateral supine (RLS) position. Methods A total of 53 patients were randomized into RLS group and improvement group. The time of passing the esophagus, visual range and clarity of esophagus and z-line, and comfort of the procedure were compared between the two groups. Results The time of capsule passing the esophagus in improvement group was significantly longer than that in RLS group [ 202 (20-480) s vs.63 (8-210) s, P < 0. 001 ) ]. The range of visualization in esophagus (2. 69 ± 0. 21 ) and Z-line (2. 54 ±0. 22) in improvement group was significantly larger than that in RLS group (2. 55 ± 0. 23 and 2. 40 ± 0. 24,respectively, P =0. 019 and P =0. 037, respectively). No significant difference was detected in clarity of esophagus or Z-line between 2 groups (P >0. 05). Two patients (7.7%) in RLS group had transient cough due to frequent water drinking, while no cough was observed in improvement group. Conclusion Compared with the ingestion protocol of esophageal capsule endoscopy in right lateral supine position, the improved ingestion protocol shows larger range of visualization, better safety and the same definition.
7.A clinical analysis of six cases of portal hypertension secondary to primary myelofibrosis and review of literatures
Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine 2010;49(10):845-847
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of the patients with portal hypertension secondary to primary myelofibrosis (PH-PMF). Methods The clinical data of patients with PH-PMF retrieved from Peking University Third Hospital were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 6 from illness onset to definite diagnosis was 24 months. The symptoms related to portal hypertension included bloating, abdominal mass, hematemesis and melena. The signs related to portal hypertension included splenomegaly ( moderate or severe in all patients), hepatomegaly ( mild or moderate in most of patients),shifting dullness positive and varices in abdominal wall. Only a small portion of patients had jaundice, liver palms and spider angioma. The indexes related to liver functions were normal or only mild abnormal in most cases. The average diameters of portal vein and splenic vein were ( 16. 0 ±3.2) mm and ( 11.0 ±3.4) mm,respectively. Thrombosis of portal vein or splenic vein was found in 2 cases. Liver biopsy revealed extramedullary hemopoiesis in one patient. In addition to medicine therapy related to portal hypertension in 5 patients with PH-PMF, 1 patient received splenectomy and another received endoscopic variceal ligation.Conclusions The patients with PH-PMF were clinically rare and easy to be misdiagnosed. The main keys to differentiate PH-PMF from cirrhosis included marked splenomegaly, mild or moderate hepatomegaly, good liver functions, lack of liver palms or spider angioma and extramedullary hemopoiesis showed in liver biopsy samples.
8.Comparison of mechanisms of reverse Twin-block and Frankel-Ⅲ appliance threrapy on Angle class three malocclusions
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2010;26(2):236-239
Objective:To assess the effect and mechanism of ClassⅢ malocclusions treatment with Frankel-Ⅲ appliance and reverse Twin-block appliance. Methods:Twenty subjects of ClassⅢ malocclusion were included in this study(9 males,11 females). Among them, 10 subjects were randomly selected for treatment with reverse Twin-block appliance (T group) and 10 subjects for Frankel-Ⅲ appliance (F group). All patients were treated all the day for total of 4-11 months. The cephalometric records of these subjects were examined before and after treatment. The acquired data were processed with SPSS 10.0. Results: The results showed a mandible receded backward in both groups. Both group could accelerate the development of the maxillary bone. But the Frankel-Ⅲ was more effective. F group had significant effects of uprighting upper frontal teeth and flaring lower teeth. the average treatment time was 6.5 months in reverse twin-block appliance therapy group and 9 months in Frankel-Ⅲ appliance group. Conclusion: Both reverse Twin-block appliance and Frankel-Ⅲ appliance can treat angle classⅢ malocclusions effectively. The effects of maxillary changes of Frankel-Ⅲ appliance is better than reverse Twin-Block. Treatment period is shorter in T group than in F group.
