Objective To explore the angioarchitectrue characteristics and appropriate treatment strategies of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in foramen magnum region.Methods The clinical data of patients with DAVF diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were analyzed retrospectively.Results Thirteen patients intraoperative were found fistula and complete resection,patients discharged from hospital,DSA check showed that the DAVF fistula completely disappeared,all patients symptoms were improved to different extents.Conclusions The clinical features,prognosis and treatment methods of DAVF in forament magnum region depends on its angioarchitecture,especially the lesion site and venous drainage,surgical operation can usually find the fistula and can be completely removed.

[Objective]To investigate the changes and correlation of bone collagen and biomechanical property in osteoporosis rats.[Method]Normal 30 nullimating female 7 month SD rats were divided randomly to two groups,each included 15.The sham group was unovariectomized,and the OVX group was ovariectomized.To execute the rats after 12 weeks,the author get the 5th lumbar vertebra,and then detected the biomechanical property and HYP.The author observed the collagen morphology of the 4th lumbar vertebra using the microscope after the masson triad color dyeing.[Result]Twelve weeks later,HYP in the sham group was(0.197?0.035)mg/g.The bone collagen was regular,compact,and closed succession.HYP in the OVX group was(0.182?0.022)mg/g.The bone collagen was incompact,thin,collapse and poor succession.There was significant change of the HYP in two groups(P

Objective To study the influences of impact of different loads to lamina on spinal cord with a closed spinal cord injury model and to explore the mechanisms of blood vessels in spinal cord injury. Methods 120 normal male SD rats were randomized into 4 groups, with 30 in each. Group A served as the control group which received no impact. In Groups B, C and D,impacts of 10, 15 and 20 N were given to lamina respectively. The blood flow in the spinal cord central gray matter and the dorsal white matter, the blood pressure and the heart rate were observed at different experimental time points. Results No obvious change was observed in the blood pressure and heart rate in every group at different time points. The spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) in Groups C and D varied in a regular pattern. Conclusions The impact load to lamina can affect the spinal cord mainly by altering the spinal cord microcirculation. The influence is the most obvious on the blood flow of microcirculation of the gray matter.

Objective To summarize the characteristics of prenatal and postnatal ultrasonic image in hemivertebra fetal malformation. Methods The present study enrolled 12 ultrasound diagnosed hemivertebra fetal malformation and confirmed by either magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or X-ray in Guangdong Provincial Maternal and Children's Hospital from January 2012 to May 2013. All the ultrasonic image were collected to summarize their characteristics. Results In the twelve cases of prenatal ultrasonic image of hemivertebrae: (1) Vertebral anomaly patterns: the irregular-shape of bones are smaller than normal vertebral bony hyperechoic which inserted into the normal intervertebral in wedge-shape, scoliosis or angular deformity. (2) Diseased parts:in the 12 fetuses, 5 had single vertebral deformity while the other 7 had multiple vertebral deformities. For the location of the lesion, there were 6 dysmorphia appeared in thoracic, 3 appearedin lumbar, 1 appeared in sacrococcygeal, 1 appeared in both cervical and thoracic, and 1 appeared in both thoracic and lumbar. (3) Associated with other malformations: 4 term delivery fetuses confirmed diagnosis of hemivertebra malformation by MRI (the diagnosis of hemivertebra was confirmed by both the fetal MRI and postnatal X-ray in 2 of them within 3 days);8 fetuses had additional anomalies, including heart malformations. Three of them were induced abortion, the X-ray images of the fetal sample showed hemivertebradysmorphia. Five women chosed induced laborin local hospital, and the X-ray images of the fetal were diagnosed as hemivertebradysmorphia. One of them with rib deletion in thoracic was missed diagnosed. Conclusions Three-dimensional ultrasonicimages can clearly show the degree of scoliosis, locate vertebra. It provides important imaging evidence for the treatment of fetal dysmorphiaafter labor.

ObjectiveTo explore the application value of two-dimensional ultrasonic measurement of fetal left and right lung area, left and right pulmonary longitudinal diameter, left and right lung volume and total lung volume in evaluation of fetal lung development.MethodsIn 489 cases of normal singleton pregnancy, two-dimensional ultrasound scanning were conducted at 12-40 weeks. The left and right lung area was traced in the four chamber view using Trace method. The distances of left diaphragmatic dome to left lung apex and the right diaphragmatic dome to right lung apex were measured respectively on the left and right fetal lung parasagittal planes. Then calculation of left and right lung volume and total lung volume was carried out.ResultsSpearman correlation coefficient of gestational age and left and right lung area, left and right pulmonary longitudinal diameter, left lung volume and total lung volume were 0.929, 0.923, 0.923, 0.917, 0.946, 0.943, 0.951, and a positive correlation, with statistical significance (P<0.05). At 12-40 weeks, fetal left and right lung area, left and right pulmonary longitudinal diameter, left and right lung volume and total lung volume increased with gestational age and fetal growth. Pulmonary area increased faster before 26 weeks than that after 26 weeks. Pulmonary longitudinal diameter and lung volume grew at a constant rate throughout pregnancy, but the growth rate of pulmonary longitudinal diameter was slightly faster than that of lung volume. The fifth, twenty-fifth, fiftieth, seventy-fifth, ninety-fifth percentile of fetal left and right lung volume and total lung volume at 12-40 weeks were obtained. ConclusionsFetal left and right lung area, left and right pulmonary longitudinal diameter, left and right lung volume and total lung volume were positively correlated with gestational age between 12 and 40 week. The normal values of lung volume and total lung volume provide a reference index for prenatal diagnosis of fetal pulmonary hypoplasia. The fetal four chamber view and fetal left parasagittal section was easy to obtain, and may serve as a new conventional method in evaluating fetal lung developments.

Objective To prove the prophylactic function of absorbable gelatin sponge and bioprotein glue for prevention of epidural and nerve root scar adhesions after laminectomy. Methods We excised the L6 vertebral plates of 36 adult New Zealand male rabbits,to make vertebral plate excision model and to find nerve root. Then divided them into 3 groups based on different materials:gelatin sponge and bioproten glue (group A),gelatin sponge (group B) and saline solution (group C). The morphological changes of the scars were observed grossly and histologically at 2 and 8 weeks after operation. We also measured the orbit of the nerve root. Results Gelatin sponge combining with bioprotein glue can reduce adhesion obviously(P

Objective To analyze the characteristics of breast medullary carcinoma in CEUS and to compare with pathologic features.Methods Morphologic characteristics of 13 breast medullary carcinomas in CEUS were analyzed.The diameter of mass before and after CEUS were compared.Parameters from time-intensity curves of masses were analyzed in contrast with peripheral breast parenchyma.All the results from CEUS analysis were compared with pathological manifestations.Results Breast medullary carcinoma was characterized as irregular shape (n=10),clear margins (n=11) and uniform enhancement (n=11) in CEUS.These characteristics were in accordance with their morphologic characters in pathology.The diameter of mass before and after CEUS had no significant defference (P=0.61),which was in accordance with expansive growth in pathology.In contrast with peripheral breast parenchyma,the arrival time and time to peak of breast medullary carcinoma were significantly shorter (P=0.034,0.021),and peak enhancement intensity was significantly stronger (P=0.005),which were in accordance with the increased vascular density and their uniform distribution,big arteries at the margin of masses in pathology.Conclusion Breast medullary carcinoma has distinguished characteristics in CEUS,which are in accordance with characters in pathology,and can be used as the basis in clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis of breast medullary carcinoma.
