ObjectiveTo assess the clinical values of the longitudinal strain delay index(LSDI) and the delay of time in peak anterospetal wall to posterior wall strain(TAS-POST),which are analyzed by speckle tracking imaging,was discussed in the article.Methods The study included 39 patients with acute myocardial infarction,37 patients with coronary heart disease but not acute myocardial infarction which was confirmed by selective coronary angiography and 30 age-gender-related volunteers.Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed to collect dynamic images of left ventricular apical long axis view,two-chamber view,four-chamber view and parasternal short axis mitral view,papillary view and apical view.The time to minimal systolic longitudinal,radial,circumferential strain (Tssl,Tssr and Tssc) were measured from the start point of QRS wave of electrocardiogram.The left ventricular segmental standard deviation (Tssl-SD,Tssr-SD,Tssc-SD) and maximal difference (Tssl-Dif,Tssr-Dif,Tssc-Dif) were calculated.The left ventricular dyssynchrony was defined as TAS-POST≥130 ms and LSDI≥25％.ResultsThe dyssynchrony parameters in the acute myocardial infarction group were significantly increased compared to the control group ( P ＜0.001 or P ＜0.05 ).The parameters in the myocardial ischemia group were also higher than those in the control group ( P ＜0.05).Linear regression showed that LSDI was positive correlated with TAS-POST( r =0.676,P ＜0.05).In acute myocardial infarction group,LSDI was more sensitive in the detection of left ventricular dyssynchrony than TAS-POST ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Left ventricular dyssynchrony can be evaluate accurately by speckle tracking imaging.LSDI and TAS-POST are quantitative parameters for the evaluation of left ventricular dyssynchrony in coronary heart disease.

Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) of the pancreas. Methods The clinical data of 20 cases who were diagnosed as MCN of the pancreas in the affiliated hospital of Qingdao university from January, 2003 to June, 2008 were collected, data including clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment and survival were analyzed retrospectively. Results The clinical manifestations mainly included abdominal pain or discomfort, nausea, vomiting; 11 patients had abdominal tenderness, 6 patients had palpable abdominal mass. All the patients underwent ultrasound and CT scan examinations, 13 patients were diagnosed as having benign MCN of the pancreas, 4 were serous cystadenoma, 3 were mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. The tumors were located in the body and tail of the pancreas, with a mean diameter of 4 - 14 cm. All the 20 cases received surgical treatment. The procedures mainly included pancreaticoduodenectomy and resection of pancreatic body and tail. Pathological examinations confirmed there were 10 patients with benign MCN of the pancreas, 3 were borderline mucinous cystadenomas and 7 mucinous cystadenocarcinomas. After a mean follow-up of 26 months, patients with benign MCN of the pancreas or borderline mucinous cystadenomas were still alive without recurrence, the three year survival of patients with mucinous cystadenocarcinomas was 50%. Conclusions MCN of the pancreas mainly occurred in female, and there was no specific clinical features, preoperative ultrasound and CT scan examinations could help to diagnose this disease. Surgical resection was the only effective method to cure MCN with good prognosis.

Objective To investigate the difference of complication incidence, death rate, quantity of lymphadeneetomy, lymphatic metastasis rate and long-term survival rate in thoracic squamons cell carcinoma of esophagus between three fields lymphadenectomy (3-FL) and traditional method. Methods Homoehronous 96 esophageal cancer patients were fractionated in two groups, 46 patients for 3-FL, the other 50 patients for traditional method. Results The average quantity of lymphadenectomy was 39.28 pieces per patient in 3-FL, and was significantly higher than 13.30 pieces per patient in traditional method (P <0.01). The rate of metastatic lymphatic nodes was 73.91%(34/46) in 3-FL patients, significantly higher than38.00%(19/50) in traditional method patients. For incidence of postoperative complications, recurrent laryngeal nerve damage and respiratory complication in 3-FL patients was significantly higher than patients in traditional method (P <0.05). The chest fluid obviously inereasod in 3-FL patients than in traditional method patients. There was significant contrast in 3-year survival rate between 3-FL patients and traditional method patients. Conclusion The there fields lymphadenectomy expand scope of lymphdenectomy effectually, accurate the staging of thoracic esophageal carcinoma. At the same time, a lot of evidence was found in raising survival rate for 3-FL. Disadvantage of 3-FL was severe surgical trauma, high incidence of complication, and a long recovery time after operation.

Objective To investigate whether transcatheter renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) by radiofrequency ablation interfere with the development of left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony during the progression of heart failure (HF).Methods Nineteen beagles were randomly divided into sham-operated group (six dogs),control group (seven dogs),and RSD group (six dogs).Sham-operated group were implanted with pacemakers without pacing;Control group were implanted with pacemakers and underwent 3 weeks of rapid right ventricular pacing;and RSD group underwent catheter-based RSD bilaterally and were simultaneously implanted with pacemakers.LV dyssynchrony was analyzed via 2D speckle-tracking strain echocardiography to evaluate LV function.Longitudinal dyssynchrony was determined as the standard deviation for time-to-peak speckle-tracking strain on apical 4-and 2-chamber views.Radial and circumferential dyssynchrony was determined as the standard deviation for time-to-peak speckle-tracking strain in mid-and base-LV short-axis views.LV systolic pressure (LVSP) and LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured.The LV interstitial fibrosis was determined by histological analysis.Results After 3 weeks,all of the dogs in both the control and RSD groups showed greater LV end-diastolic volume compared with the sham-operated group;however,the dogs in the RSD group had a higher LV ejection fraction (LVEF) than the dogs in the control group (P ＜0.001).The LV systolic strains were higher in the RSD group than in the control group (P ＜0.001 for longitudinal,circumferential and radial strain,respectively).The levels of LV dyssynchrony were lower in the RSD group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.001 for longitudinal,circumferential and radial dyssynchrony,respectively).Compared with control group,RSD group had lower LV end-diastolic pressures and less fibrous tissue.Conclusions RSD inhibites the development of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony during the progression of heart failure in dogs.
