Objective To compare the image quality of portal venous system in the patients with live cirrhosis and portal hyper-tension using two different inj ection methods,so as to investigate the optimization of imaging techniques.Methods Single-phase in-jection (group A)or biphasic injection (group B)was applied by random on 40 patients for portal venous system vascular imaging, and subsequently image quality and technical advantages between the two groups were compared and analyzed respectively.Results 1.There was no significant difference in image quality between the two groups(P>0.05),while contrast agent dosage (90 mL)in group B is less than group A(100 mL).2.The CT value of Portal vein,liver parenchyma and P-L discrepancy in group B were slightly lower than those in group A,however,no statistical difference was noted(P>0.05).After 45 second,the P-L discrepancy of group B was larger than that of group A.The peak times of portal vein,liver parenchyma and the P-L discrepancy in group B were longer than those in group A(P<0.05).3.The graph of P-L discrepancy demonstrated:the threshold interval of P-L discrep-ancy in group B was longer than that in group A.Conclusion Biphasic inj ection methods could not only afford reliable imaging quali-ty on portal venous system vascular imaging in the patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension,but also lead to a less total dose of contrast agent.Therefore,it could be used as an optimal choice of imaging technology for portal venous system vascular ima-ging.

Objective To discuss the therapeutic method of extracranial athemsclerotic carotid artery stenosis . Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 51 patients with angiography confirmed carotid artery stenosis from January 2012 to June 2012 in our hospital.The carotid endarterectomy (CEA) was performed in 16 cases, while the carotid artery stenting (CAS) was performed in 35 cases. Results All the 51 operations were successfully completed .There were 1 case of transient ischemic attack ( TIA) 3 days after CEA operation , 1 case of postoperative stroke after CAS operation , and 1 case of carotid sinus pressure after CAS operation . The follow-up period of all the cases was 9-15 months, with an average of 13.6 months.Ultrasound review of the carotid artery found no restenosis. Conclusion According to medical information of the patients with extracranial carotid atherosclerotic stenosis , we tend to adopt the CAS treatment in patients with following situations: ①transient ischemic attack at least once within 6 months, with symptoms or signs lasting for more than 24 hours and the degree of carotid stenosis ≥70%;②mild than disabling stroke onset at least once within 6 months, with symptoms or signs lasting for more than 24 hours and the degree of carotid stenosis ≥70%; ③carotid artery stenosis ≥2 cm under neck vascular CTA and cerebral angiography .We tend to adopt CEA treatment in patients with following situations:①asymptomatic carotid stenosis with degree ≥70%;②symptomatic carotid stenosis with degree range from 50%to 69%;③asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis with degree <70%, but with instable situation of lesions under angiography or other examinations .

Objective :
To explore the influencing factors for maternal anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy, so as to provide the evidence for the effective prevention of anemia.
Methods :
Data of parturients, who received prenatal care and delivered at Hangzhou Women's Hospital from October to December of 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The obstetric electronic medical record system of this hospital was used to collect general information of the subjects. Serum ferritin, serum vitamin B12, serum folic acid and hemoglobin were determined at the second and third trimester. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for anemia in the third trimester.
Results :
A total of 1 143 parturients were enrolled, with a median age of 29 ( interquartile range: 4 ) years. Among them, 1 050 cases had normal weight before pregnancy, accounting for 91.86%; 267 cases were multiparas, accounting for 23.36%; 74 cases of anemia occurred during the third trimester of pregnancy, accounting for 6.92%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the multipara(OR=1.714,95%CI: 1.032-2.848), iron deficiency duiring the second trimester(OR=3.301,95%CI: 1.401-7.781), iron deficiency during the third trimester (OR=14.134,95%CI: 1.944-102.774)and folate deficiency during the third trimester(OR=2.960,95%CI: 1.295-6.766)were influencing factors for anemia during the third trimester.
Conclusion
Anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy is related to iron deficiency during the second and third trimesters, folic acid deficiency during the third trimester, and multipara.
