Objective To compared the characteristics of cerebrovascular pathological changes in cerebral infarction patients accompanied with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and primary hypertension.Methods The level of homocysteine (Hcy) of 258 cerebral infarction patients with primary hypertension were detected, and patients were divided into H type hypertension group and hypertension group according to the level of Hcy.The cerebrovascular pathological changes were observed by DSA.Results There were 112 cases in H type hypertension group, and 146 cases in hypertension group.There had no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and the rates of drinking and smoking (all P>0.05).Internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were involvements, and it was mainly with intracranial artery stenosis in the two groups.Compared with hypertension group, the rates of intracranial vessel lesion and severe cerebrovascular stenosis in H type hypertension group were significantly increased, and the rate of collateral vessels was significantly decreased(all P<0.05).Conclusion The stenosis of cerebrovascular seems much more narrower, heavier, and have less collateral circulation in cerebral infarction patients with H type hypertension.

This article reviewed hot spot and problems in the research of the senile dementia,and proposal the researching thoughts and the tentative treament plan of this disease.

The velocity of blood in vessels is an important indicator that reflects the microcirculatory status. The core of the measurement technology, which is based on spatiotemporal (ST) image, is to map the cell motion trace to the two-dimensional ST image, and transfer the measurement of flow velocity to the detection of trace orientation in ST image. This paper proposes a trace orientation measurement algorithm is based on Randomized Hough Transformation and projection transformation, and it is able to estimate trace orientation and flow velocity in noisy ST images. Experiments showed that the agreement between the results by manual and by the proposed algorithm reached over 90%.

Objective To investigate short-term effects of laparoscopic liver lobectomy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods A comparison was made between 17 cases of laparoscopic liver lobectomy (segmentectomy) (Laparoscopic Group) and 22 cases of open hepatectomy (Open Group) from January 2001 to June 2004. The operative time, blood loss, blood transfusion amount, liver functions and blood picture before and after the surgery, and complications between the two groups were compared respectively. Results The operative time was longer in the Laparoscopic Group (median, 300 min) than in the Open Group (median, 145 min) ( u =107.05, P =0.023). Both groups presented a similar appearance in the blood loss and the blood transfusion amount. Serum levels of bilirubin and ALT varied within narrower limits in the Laparoscopic Group than in the Open Group. No significant difference was seen in blood pictures before and after the surgery in both groups. No complications happened in the Laparoscopic Group, whereas 4 cases of complications were observed in the Open Group (1 case of incision infection, 1 case of hydrothorax, 1 case of subphrenic dropsy, and 1 case of postoperative bleeding). Conclusions Laparoscopic liver lobectomy (segmentectomy) for hepatocellular carcinoma is minimally invasive, safe and effective.

Objective To analyse the efficacy of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3D-CRT)for hepatic carcinomas.Methods 81 patients with advanced hepatic carcinoma were treated at every turn of 200-400 cGy to a total dose of 4800-5500 cGy.Average-dose was 4580 cGy.Following up time was 225 monthes.Recent effect was evaluated according to WHO tumor evaluation standard.Results 81 patients accomplished the treatment.The local response rate was 82.7 ％(67/81)after treatment with 21 cases CR,46 cases PR.The 1,2 year overall survival rates were 43 ％,26 ％.In the multivariate analysis,the recent effect,the total dose,metastasis,clinical staging,the diameter of the tumors and Child grade presages had statistical significance for overall survival(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 3D-CRT is preferable therapeutic action for primary hepatic carcinomas and can prolong the survival term.
