Objective To investigate the most appropriate low radiation dose in multi-slice CT (MSCT) scans for orbital trauma patients. Methods Thirty trauma patients with suspected orbital fractures who underwent helical CT scans with a 64-MSCT using regular dose were selected. Noise was artificially introduced to the axial images using an image space noise addition tool to simulate 6 sets of lower dose scans with tube current of 30, 70, 100, 140, 170 and 200 mA, respectively. The lowest tube current with adequate image quality for confident diagnosis was determined based on the evaluation of the overall image quality and fracture detection on images at different dose levels. The determined lowest tube current was then validated using clinical scans. Radiation dose related parameters CTDIvol, DLP, ED were also recorded.Image quality was evaluated according to its low-density resolution, noise and structure clarity and characterized into 5-grades of excellent, good, fair, worse and worst Rank sum test and X2 test were wsed for statistics. Results In 30 trauma patients with regular dose of 300 mA, there were 30 cases of orbital fracture, 19 cases of intraorbital emphysema, 12 cases of ocular muscle injury and 1 case of intraorbital foreign body. These changes could still be clearly observed and correctly diagnosed when the tube current was reduced to as low as 70 mA. However, the overall image quality was mostly fair. At the simulated dose of 100 mA, the majority of images were characterized as excellent or good, and there was no statistical difference compared with that of regular dose scans (P > 0.05 ) . In the clinical evaluation for 20 orbital trauma patients with the reduced tube current of 100 mA, the majority of images were judged to be excellent (9 cases) or good(17 cases) and fair (4 cases). The radiation dose(0. 29 mSv) was reduced by 70% compared with that of regular tube current of 300 mA(0. 86 mSv). Conclusion The tube current of MSCT may be used as low as 100 mA in orbital trauma patients to reduce radiation dose and keep the image quality diagnosable.

Objective To assess the correlation between tenosynovitis or rupture of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and pes planus in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The data of 47 RA patients (97 feet) with painful feet was retrospectively analyzed which was collected From February 2008 to June 2011.In accordance with the results of the FHL changes got by ultrasonography,the patients were divided into 3 groups.Group A consisted of those with normal FHL (27 feet).Group B consisted of those with FHL tenosynovitis (40 feet),and Group C eonsisted of those with FHL rupture (27 feet).Load bearing lateral radiographs were taken for all the patients.The correlation study was carried out based on the pes planus-related parameters,such as the measurement of heel pitch angle (HPA) and tarsal and 1st metatarsal angle (TM1).Factors like patients' age and course of disease were also taken into the consideration during the study.Results The mean age of those in group A was 49.9±9.2 years vs.56.2±9.2 years in group B and 54.7±8.0 years in group C.The mean duration was 4.7±2.6 years in Group A vs.16.2±7.4 years in Group B 5°±3.6° in Group C.The mean TM1 was 2.5°±2.2° in Group A vs.6.5°±3.2° in Group B and 11.2°±4.9° in Group C.Significant statistics difference were found among the three groups in these parameters.HPA＜ 20° was found among 6/27 feet in group A,31/40 in group B and 27/27 in group C.TM1 ＞4° was found among 5/27 feet in group A,30/40 in group B and 27/27 in group C.Conclusion FHL changes were common in RA patients and its severitv had positive correlation to pes planus.These changes were affected by age and duration,and could be evaluated effectively by ultrasound.

Objective To characterize the association between the mean CT value on a scout view and the dependent mA selection method, and to evaluate the clinical value of a mA selection method based on scout view mean CT value in obtaining individualized scan protocol and consistent image quality for patient population on 64-row MSCT CT coronary angiography (CTCA).Methods One hundred patients (group A) underwent CCTA consecutively using standard protocol with a fixed mA.The mean CT value of a fixed ROI (region of interest) from the scout AP view and the CTCA image noise (standard deviation on the root of ascending aorta) were measured.The correlation between CT values and noise was studied establish a formula and a list to determine the required mA for obtaining a consistent CTCA image noise based on the measured SV CT value.Another 100 patients (group B) were scanned using the same parameters as group A except the mA and the CT value was also measured.The mA was determined by the list established previously.The CTCA image quality (IQ) as well as the image noise (IN) and the effective dose (ED) from the two groups were statistically analyzed using t-test.The CT findings for the 32 patients in the group B were also compared with the selective coronary angiography (SCA) results.The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for detection of significant stenosis were obtained.Results The formula between the required mA and the CT value was : XmA=FmA×[(K1×CTscout + C1)/INa]2.The CCTA images in B group had statistically higher IN (27.66±2.57,22.22±4.17,t=11.33, P=0.000), but no statistical difference between IQ scores for the two groups (3.29±0.66,3.37±0.67,t=0.009, P=0.990), and ED[(8.72±2.51) versus (12.53±0.90) mSv]was 30% lower for the B group (P<0.01).For the 32 patients in the B group who had SCA, the CCTA sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and stenosis detection accuracy were 94.92% (56/59), 92.13% (82/89) ,88.89% (56/63) ,96.47% (82/85) and 93.24% (138/148) wspectively for stenosis greater than 50%.Conclusion The mA selection method based on the SV CT value for CCTA in 64-row MSCT provides individualized protocol to obtain consistent image quality and to optimize dose delivery to patients.

Objective To evaluate the robustness of body mass index (BMI) adapted tube current selection method for obtaining consistent image quality in MSCT coronary artery imaging Methods Initially one hundred patients in the control group ( C group) underwent cardiac scans using GE 64-row VCT with standard scan protocol (640 mA, 120 kV, 0.35 see, body bewtie, C2 filter). Noise measurement was obtained for each patient using the average of three consecutive slices in the ascending aorta with ROI of 10 mm×10 mm to establish the relationship between BMI, desired image noise (IN) and required mA. An excel table was established to predict the required mA to achieve a desired IN for each patient with different BMI. A second group of one hundred cardiac patients (L group) was scanned with BMI-aclapted mA from the table to evaluate the practicability of this method. BMI, IN, CT dose index(CTDI),effective dose (ED) were all recorded. Results For the control group of 100 patients, the mean values and standard deviations of image quality score (IQS), BMI, IN and ED were 3.71±0.54, 25.08±2.63, 24.56±5.03 and (17.63±1.68 ) mSv (with range of 15-22 msy). Regression analysis indicated linear relationship between BMI and image noise with fixed mA. Using the relationship between tube current and image noise and noise ratio between large bowtie and cardiac bowtie, the following equation for the required tube current Xma to achieve present image noise of Ins for patient with certain BMI value when using cardiac bowtie could be then obtained: Xma = Fma×( k1 x BMI + c1 )/Ina]2, where Fma = 640 mA, k1 = 1. 033, c1 = - 3.2, Ins = 27 in the study. (2) For the patients in L group, the mean values and standard deviations of IQS, BMI, and IN were 3.69±0.53, 25.07±2.91, and 26.61±3.44, respectively. The average tube current used was (469.95±113.45) mA, depending on patient's BMI values. The average effectively dose was(9.08±2.25) mSv. There was no statistically difference between the two groups in image quality( F= 0.068,P=0.794). Conclusions In 64-MSCT cardiac imaging, the use of BMI dependent tube current selection method, in conjunction with dose reduction techniques, can provide individualized scan protocol to obtain consistent image quality across patient population and to optimize dose delivery to patients.

Objective To research the homology of 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA(18S-rRNA) gene about Chinese Mainland and Philippine strains of Schistosoma japonicum,and Schistosoma mansoni,and the possibility to establish the PCR assay based on the gene for detecting the cercaria in a low density level. Methods The genomic DNAs of Chinese Mainland and Philippine strains of S.japonicum,and S.mansoni were extracted. The PCR assay was used to detect the identical target DNA elements in the above genome team and the homology of their genes was compared. The single cercaria was respectively treated with the method of heating in boiling water,the method of treating with ammonia and the method of treating with NaOH,HCl and ethanol,and the single treated cercaria and the single cercaria without treating were used as the templates to amplify the target DNA by using the PCR assay,and the detection rates of the PCR assay to detect the single cercaria treated with the different methods were calculated and compared. Results With the genomic DNAs of Chinese Mainland and Philippine strains of S.japonicum and S.mansoni as the templates,the target DNA element of which sequence length was 469 bp was all amplified by PCR. The target DNA was all amplified by PCR to the single cercaria treated with ammonia and the method of treating with NaOH,HCl and ethanol. However,only 50 percent of specimens of the single cercaria without treating and the single cercaria treated with the method of heating in boiling water were amplified to the target DNA by PCR. Conclusions The 18S-rRNA gene has the general homology among the species and strains of Schistosoma. The sensitivity of the PCR assay to detect the low density cercaria treated with ammonia or the method of treating with NaOH,HCl and ethanol is higher than that of the single cercaria without treating or treated with the method of heating in boiling water.

Objective:To understand the current situation of the demand for humanistic care of schizophrenics in convalescence and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for clinical nurses to carry out targeted humanistic care for patients.Methods:A self-produced scale with a total score of 49-245 was used to investigate 516 convalescent period schizophrenic patients in 18 tertiary mental health institutions in 13 provinces of China, single factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on their influencing factors.Results:The Likert 5-point scoring method was used. The overall score of the nursing care needs of hospitalized schizophrenic patients was (202.85±35.06) points, and the average score of total items were (4.14±0.16) points. Multiple linear regression results showed female ( B=0.100, P=0.024), stable marriage ( B=-0.098, P=0.026),high school (including secondary school) Education ( B=-0.107, P=0.018), family per capita monthly income of 2 000 yuan or above ( B=0.093, P=0.043),central region ( B=-0.110, P=0.014) were the main factors that affect the demand for humanistic care of inpatients with schizophrenia in convalescence. Conclusion:The hospitalized schizophrenic patients have higher and diversified needs for humanistic care. Patients with different genders, marital status, education level, monthly family income and living area have different needs for humanistic care. Individualized and standardized nursing should be given according to the actual situation of patients' needs to provide a more supportive environment for their rehabilitation.

Objective To observe the efficacy of antithrombotic treatment of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with failure primary percutaneous coronary intervention because of high thrombus burden,and its effect on elective percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods Eight acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients were enrolled,who suffered from failure of primary percutaneous coronary intervention because of high thrombus burden.Summarize the antithrombotic strategies in perioperative and postoperative period,the operative strategies and the follow-up coronary intervention were recorded and reviewed.Results All the patients were male and most of them had acute inferior myocardial infarction with right coronary occluded because of high thrombus burden.Four patients received thrombus aspiration and balloon dilation.One patient received thrombus aspiration and the other three patients did not receive coronary intervention.Tirofiban were given in perioperative period to all the patients.Low molecular weight heparin was given to 6 patients.Dual antiplatelet therapy was given to 6 patients (aspirin 100 mg/day plus clopidogrel 75 mg/day) and 1 patient required up-titration of aspirin to 200 mg/day.Coronary angiography were repeated (29.00 ± 23.25) days later,and the thrombus in the culprit vessels disappeared in two patients,and coronary stent implantation was performed in three patients.Conclusions The routine antithrombotic strategies play limited roles in thrombus clearance in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with failure primary percutaneous coronary intervention because of high thrombus burden.The time for the thrombus to be totally organized and the timing of elective percutaneous coronary intervention are still uncertain and need to be further studied.

Objective To study the relationship between the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flatfoot and flexor pollicis longus tendon (FHL) lesion.Methods A total of 120 rheumatoid arthritis flatfoot patients (120 feet) was admitted to our hospital,and were examined by uhrasonography.Foot flexor hallucis longus tendon lesions were analyzed.Theses patients were divided into intact tendon group (group A) with 48 cases,tendon inflammation group (group B) with 45 cases,and tendon rupture group (C group) with 27 cases according to the ultrasound flexor hallucis longus tendon lesions degree.Foot bearing radiographs of all patients were measured,and hallux valgus angle between the first and second metatarsal bones were measured,and the relationship between the flexor pollicis longus tendon lesion degree and hallux valgus angle were analyzed.Results There were 48 cases (40％)with normal FHL,45 cases(37.5％)with FHlL inflammation,and 21 cases(22.5％) with FHL fractures.It revealed that HVA was positively correlated with IMA in group A and B (P ＜ 0.05).But there was no correlation between HVA and IMA in group C (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion FHL is a common RA flatfoot disease,but FHL is not the initial cause of RA hallux valgus,but is positively correlated with the degree of hallux valgus.
