Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2010;26(3):535-537
Objective To evaluate the imaging quality and diagnostic value of different MR sequences for abnormalities of knee cartilage. Methods Three sequences of MR, including double echo steady state (DESS), multi echo data imagine combination (MEDIC) and true fast imaging with steady state precession (TrueFISP) were performed in 18 healthy volunteers. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of knee cartilage and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) to surrounding tissues were measured and compared. Results SNR of cartilage was the highest in MEDIC sequence imaging, CNR of cartilage-synovia was the highest in DESS sequence imaging among three sequences (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the other sequences, DESS seems to be optimal in diagnosis of abnormalities in knee cartilage.
3.Causes of failure of scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and effectiveness and safety of re-buckling
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2021;37(4):258-261
Objective:To analyze the reasons for the failure of scleral buckling (SB) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and observe the efficacy and safety of re-buckling.Methods:This was a retrospective non-comparative clinical research. From July 2014 to June 2020, patients with first-time SB failure who visited the Beijing Tongren Hospital were included in this study. There were 42 patients, including 30 males and 12 females, with the average age of 29.40±16.13 years, and they were all monocular. The retinal detachment range <1, 1-2 and > 2 quadrants were 9, 22 and 11 eyes, respectively. The macula was involved in 38 eyes. The average logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.99±0.57. Forty eyes and 2 eyes were performed 1 and 2 SB, and all the retina were not reattached. All patients were under general anesthesia, according to the conditions during the operation, re-freeze and located the holes under indirect ophthalmoscope. And selected the new external pressure material or retained the old one in combination with the other operations to reattaced the retina. The average follow-up time was 31.93±18.97 months. The reasons for the failure of the first surgery based on the records of this surgery were analyzed. The visual acuity changes, the rate of retinal reattachment and the occurrence of complications were observed. The visual changes were compared by paired t test. Results:The top three reasons for the failure were: 16 case of the displacement of the compression spine (38.10%); 9 cases of missing the retinal holes and 9 case of improper selection of compression substances (account for 21.43%, respectively); 6 cases of insufficient height of compression spine (14.29%). All of retina were reattached (100%, 42/42). The average logMAR BCVA was 0.52±0.40. The difference of logMAR BCVA between before and after surgery was statistically significant ( t=6.106, P=0.000). There were a slight increase in intraocular pressure in 8 eyes, the average intraocular pressure was 25.00±2.61 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). No serious complications occurred after surgery. Conclusions:The position deviation of the compression spine, the missed hole during the operation, the improper selection of external compression material, and the insufficient height of the compression spine are the main reasons for the failure of SB. After adjusting the reasons for the failure, there is still a higher rate of retinal reattachment.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between carotid sclerosis and lipoprotein (LP) (a) in patients with coronary artery disease. MethodsOne hundred and fifty-nine coronary artery disease patients with coronary arteriongraphy (CAG) positive were selected as the study group, and Gensini points were taken in these patients. Forty CAG normal patients was in control group, and all of them were examined with ultrasound, and serum levels of LP (a) were tested. According to ultrasound, study group were divided into 4 subgroups: normal intima group(24 cases), mild stenosis group(41 cases), moderate stenosis group (82 cases) and severe stenosis group ( 12 cases). ResultsThe rate of carotid sclerosis in study group [84.9% (135/159)] was significantly higher than that in control group [42.5% ( 17/40 )] (P < 0.01 ). Gensini points in moderate and severe stenosis group were significantly higher than those in normal intima and mild stenosis group (P < 0.05 or < 0.01 ), Gensini points in severe stenosis group were significantly higher than those in moderately group(P < 0.01 ), but there was no significant difference between mild stenosis group and normal intima group(P > 0.05 ). The level of LP(a) in study group[(35.27 + 23.38) mg/L] was significantly higher than that in control group[(23.13 ± 16.56) mg/L](P< 0.01 ). The level of LP(a) in mild stenosis group was significantly lower than that in moderate and severe stenosis group(P< 0.05 or < 0.01 ), and there was no significantly difference compared with that in normal intima group(P> 0.05 ). ConclusionsCarotid sclerosis ultrasonic testing helps to predict the risk degree of coronary artery disease. The level of LP(a ) is closely related with carotid sclerosis and has important value in judging the condition of patients with coronary artery disease.

Objective To detect the presence of DEK protein in the tissue and voided urine of patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma ,and an?alyze the relationship between DEK protein and clinical pathological classification of bladder cancer. Methods The expression of DEK protein was examined by immunohistochemistry in 48 bladder cancer tissues and 18 adjacent normal tissues(control group). The presence of DEK protein in voided urine was analyzed by western blot in 28 bladder cancer patients and 6 healthy individuals(control group). Results The positive ex?pression of DEK protein in bladder tumor tissues(73%)is higher than in adjacent normal tissues(33%,P<0.05). The expression of DEK in su?perficial bladder cancer(86%)was found higher than invasive bladder cancer(55%)with significant differences(P<0.05). The expression of DEK in urine samples of bladder cancer patients(0.834)was found higher than control group(0.242,P<0.05);Compared with the DEK expres?sion of control group,the sensitivity of diagnosis of bladder cancer with voided urine could be 82.1%. Conclusion DEK protein positive ex?pressed in tissues and voided urine of patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma. The expression was correlated with pathological classification of bladder cancer. The positive rate of DEK expression in early stage of tumor tissues is higher than late stage. The presence of DEK protein in tissues and voided urine can be considered as a suitable biomarker for bladder cancer potentially.
