The value and detection of right ventricular in circulation have been paid more attention,.Because of the defects in traditional method,Tei index is the method in right ventricular measurement.The Tei index is sensitive in assessing RV function of patients with congenital heart disease.It is not affected by valve regurgitation and RV geometry.The Tei index is accurate and simple in estimating right ventricular function in congenital heart disease and is valuable and invasive index in estimating right ventricular functions.

[Objective]Microsurgical lumbar discectomy(MSLD)and microendoscopic discoectomy(MED)were compared in methods and curative effect for providing the experience and therapy evidence of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).[Method]It was retrospectively analyzed that mono-segment lumbar disc herniation were treated in minimal invasion in our hospital.MSLD was 45 cases and MED was 32 cases.Operation time,operation information,complication,hospital time and curative effect were compared.[Result]The satisfactory rate of two groups were both beyond 90% and no significant deviation was found.The incision of MED was obviously shorter than MSLD and the operation time of MED was longer than latter.[Conclusion]The curative effects of two minimal invasion methods are satisfactory.But the indication of MED is limited obviously and the method has not obvious predominance by compared with MSLD.MSLD is an more ideal minimal invasion operation at present.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and complication of endoscopic dense ligation for bleeding esophageal varices(EV). Methods 128 cases of EV experienced varcies ligation, and 16～22 points(average 18.8 points) of the varices were ligated by using dense ligation, while only 5～6 points were ligated in common ligation (common method) for varices. All patients got one to two times of ligation therapy. Results In dense ligation group, the rate of prompt hemostasis was 96.9%, rate of elimination of EV was 92.2% with one therapy, and 96.9% with twice therapy, while the rate of bleeding was 0.8%. In common method the rates were 95.7%, 42.6%, 64.7% and 7.1% respectively. Between the two groups, the rate of elimination of EV and rebleeding had significant difference (P

Abstract?AlM: To observe the anterior chamber angle shape of patients with diabetic retinopathy ( DR) at different stages using OCT, and to explore a more sensitive and accurate glaucoma preventing measure.?METHODS: A total of 613 cases of DR patients were divided into proliferation phase group ( 353 cases ) and background phase group ( 260 cases ) , another 100 cases of patients with only diabetes were selected as control group. OCT was used to detect the anterior chamber angle related parameters, including angle opening distance ( AOD) , trabecular-iris space area ( TlSA) , angle recess area ( ARA ) , anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) and anterior chamber angle ( ACA) .?RESULTS: There were significant difference among AOD500, AOD750, TlSA500, TlSA750, ARA500 and ARA750 of control group, proliferation phase group and background phase group ( P< 0. 01 ). The proliferation phase group was the lowest, AOD500, AOD750, TlSA500, TlSA750, ARA500 and ARA750 were 0. 60 ± 0. 22mm, 0. 78 ± 0. 39mm, 0. 22 ± 0. 12mm2 , 0. 45 ± 0. 19mm2 , 0. 29 ± 0. 18mm and 0. 46 ± 0. 15mm, respectively. There were significant difference among ACA500, ACA750, ACD500 and ACD750 of control group, proliferation phase group and background phase group ( P< 0. 01 ). The proliferation phase group was the lowest, ACA500, ACA750, ACD500 and ACD750 were 30. 29o ± 8. 19o, 21. 20o ± 7. 40o, 2. 32 ± 0. 23μm and 2. 52±0. 16μm, respectively. ln addition, ROC results indicated that all these indices exert significant difference on evaluating the stage of DR. ?CONCLUSlON: Anterior chamber angle shape detected using OCT can reflect the change of retinopathy. OCT is an accurate and simple technique for detecting DR staging.

Objective To study the effect of embolization of gastric coronary and short veins on the control of hemorrhage from gastric fundal varices. Methods Thirty-two patients with liver cirrhosis and hemorrhage from esophagus and fundal varices, who still had variceal bleeding after endoscopic banding or sclerosing of esophageal varices were included in the study. Gastric coronary and short veins were (embolized) by percutaneous, transhepatic embolization with absolute alcohol, steel ring, or gelfoam. The follow-up of 3 to 11 months was carried out after embolization. Results The follow-up endoscopy showed that the varices of gastric fundus disappeared completely in 21 of 29 patients (72.4%), and (eleminated) partially in 8 patients (27.6%). Only one patient (3.1%) had re-bleeding due to portal (hypertensive) gastropathy in the follow-up period. No obvious complication was found in these patients. Conclusions The varices of gastric fundus could be obliterated by percutaneous, transhepatic embolization of gastric coronary and short veins.

PurposeIt is important to keep the consistency of CT perfusion imaging (CTP) measurement in the evaluation of intracranial disorders. The purpose of this paper is to probe into the consistency of basal ganglia hemodynamic characteristics in normal rabbits with CTP measurement in the mode of volume helical shuttle (VHS).Materials and Methods Brain CTP scans of 10 healthy rabbits were carried out in the VHS mode. The images derived from CTP were separately analyzed by two radiologists (A and B) with different experiences. ROIs were placed in the bilateral basal ganglia of the subjects and parameters such as cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF) and mean transit time (MTT) were measured three times in each rabbit. Thirty days later, radiologist A analyzed the CTP images again with the same method. Differences of parameters in bilateral basal ganglia measured by different radiologists at different periods were compared respectively and consistency of the measurements was further assessed.Results There was no significant difference among the three measurements of CBV, CBF and MTT in bilateral basal ganglia (F=0.162, 0.050 and 0.488,P>0.05). TheICC of CBV, CBF and MTT measured by the two radiologists for the first time were 0.84, 0.81 and 0.79; while theICC of CBV, CBF and MTT measured by radiologist A twice were 0.80, 0.89 and 0.84, which showed that the results had good consistency measured by different radiologists at different times.Conclusion With the same post-processing software, the consistency of CTP of basal ganglia in the VHS mode is satisfactory in healthy rabbits, which suggests this technique may be a suitable means in the evaluation of basal ganglia hemodynamics in animal models.

Objective To compare the efficacy of gradient and swim-up semen preparation techniques on pregnancy rates in couples undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) stimulation. Methods Five hundred and seventy one cycles were devided into the swim up or the gradient technique groups for sperm preperation. The clinical pregnancy rates per cycle were evaluated. Results The clinical pregnancy rates per cycle were significantly higher in the gradient group (17.8%) than that in the swim up group (11.4%)(P < 0.05). In the subgroup of unexplained subfertile couples, the gradient group also revealed significantly higher clinical pregnancy rates per cycle (33.7%) than that in the swim up group (20.3%)(P<0.05). In couples with mild male factor subfertility, the gradient group also revealed significantly higher clinical pregnancy rates per cycle (11.6%) than that in the swim up group (7.6%)(P < 0.05). Conclusion The gradient technique significantly improves clinical outcome in IUI cycles of unexplained subfertile and male subfertile couples.
