Objective To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluation of the protective effect of edaravone injection in rabbit skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand white rabbits were established a model of skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury in left hind limb and randomly divided into the experimental group and control group.Edaravone was injected with the dose of 1.5 mg/kg at the time of 30 minutes before reperfusion in the experimental group,the control group were given an equal volume of physiological saline.Blood samples were collected respectively at the times of pre-ischemia,post-ischemia and 24 hours after reperfusion for detecting creatine kinase(CK),lactic dehydrogenase(LDH),and CEUS parameters such as peak intensity(PI),time to peak (TTP) and area under the curve(AUC) were measured at the same time.Pathological examination was carried out after the rabbits were sacrificed.Results ①Serological tests:compared to before the blocking of blood supply,the content of CK and LDH after the blocking were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01);compared to before or after the blocking,the content of CK and LDH at the time of 24 hours after reperfusion in the two groups were increased,and was lower in the experimental group than the control group.(②CEUS:compared to before the blocking,PI,TTP and AUC in each group were significantly increased after the blocking and at the time of 24 hours after reperfusion(P ＜0.01);compared to those in the control group,PI and AUC in the experimental group were decreased at the time of 24 hours after reperfusion,but there was no significant difference in TTP(P ＞0.05).③Correlation analysis:there was a good correlation between PI,AUC and CK,LDH (r =0.87,0.81,0.86,and 0.80,respectively).④Pathological analysis:muscle fibers were swelling with no stripes,partial fractures and interstitial edema and a large amount of inflammatory cells were infiltrated in the control group,while muscle fibers were almost normal with a small amount of inflammatory cells infiltrated in the experimental group.Conclusions Edaravone injection before reperfusion can obviously improve rabbit skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury,and CEUS can be used to observe these changes directly and effectively.

phological changes in rat liver tissues. TLR4 and NF-κB expression in the liver tissues were measured by im-munohistochemistry . The results showed that compared with the normal group , the serum levels of transaminase ( ALT , AST ) and endotoxin of the model group were higher ( P < 0 . 01 ); and the degree of liver pathology injury was significantly increased; the TLR4 and NF-кB expression were increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of transaminase (ALT, AST) and endotoxin of the experimental group were lower (P < 0.01), the degree of liver pathology injury was significantly lighter; the TLR4 and NF-кB expression were significantly lower (P < 0.01). It was concluded that the WYJDHY granules has a good role in the prevention and treatment of liver injury of rat model of hepatic failure IETM through the downregulation of liver expression of TLR4 and NF-кB in rat liver tissues , reducing serum levels of endotoxin , which may be one of the mecha-nisms on hepatic failure treatment .

Objective To explore the application value of quantitative analysis of tissue diffusion by ultrasound elastography in evaluating the evolution of achilles tendinopathy and indirectly reflecting the feature of tendon biomechanics.Methods Rabbits underwent 0.1 ml (group M) or 0.3 ml (group S)collagenase or 0.2 ml saline (group C) injection.The percentage of area displaying blue (％AREA) in the area of interest was measured by the diffusion quantitative technique of ultrasound elastography at baseline and 1,3,7 and 14 days after model.The achilles tendon was obtained for pathological examination to observe the changes of collagen fibers and tested to measure the maximum tensile load by the universal testing machine.Results (1) The ％AREAs in group M and S at 1,3,7 and 14 days after model were smaller than those in group C (P ＜0.05),and reached its lowest value at 3 days after model.％ AREA in groupSwas significant lower than that in group M at 3 or 7 days after model (P ＜0.05).(2) The maximum tensile loads in group M at 1,3 and 7 days after model were smaller than those in group C (P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between group M and C at 14 days after model (P ＞0.05).The maximum tensile load in group S was significant lower than those in group M and C after model (P ＜0.05),and arrived its lowest point at 3 days after model.(3) The ％AREA was positively associated with the maximum tensile load of achilles tendon (r =0.87,P ＜0.001).Conclusions Ultrasound elastography can dynamically monitor the evolution of achilles tendinopathy and reflect the biomechanical state of achilles tendon.

Objective To discuss the methods of the heat preservation performance monitoring of the blood transport case and to provide the technical support for the safety of blood transportation.Methods At the different environment temperature,the amount of the cold resource was decided by the mass ratio of cold resource to blood and the temperature was automatically recorded by the intelligent temperature chip continuously,to monitor the changes of each monitoring point in the blood transport case.Results When the mass ratio of cold resource to blood was fixed at 1∶6,the cold chain of the blood transport case could keep the tempera-ture of 2-10 ℃ for 8 hours at the environment temperature of 12 ℃,It could keep the temperature of 2-10 ℃ for 4.5 hours at the environment temperature of 25 ℃,and it could keep the temperature of 2-10 ℃ for 2 hours at the environment temperature of 44℃.Conclusion When the mass ratio of cold resource to blood is fixed,as the environment temperature changes,the available time that the blood transport case keeps with the cold-chain requirement varies according to the results of the heat preservation per-formance monitoring of the blood transport case.

Objective To investigate the regional cerebral blood flow perfusion in fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD)by three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound (3D PD).Methods The vascular index (VI),flow index (FI)and vascular/flow index (VFI)in the main arterial territories [middle cerebral artery (MCA ),anterior cerebral artery (ACA ) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA )] were prospectively compared in 1 12 fetuses with CHD and 1 12 normal fetuses using 3D PD.Correlations between the 3D PD indices and neurodevelopment scores were assessed.Results Compared with the controls,the VI,FI and VFI of the three main arteries were significantly increased in fetuses with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)and left sided obstructive lesions (LSOL)(P < 0.001 ).The mean psychomotor development index (PDI)and mental development index (MDI)scores were significantly lower than normal (P <0.001).ACA VI and ACA VFI were positively correlated with PDI (r =0.377,P =0.01 5 and r =0.389,P = 0.012,respectively)but were not correlated with MDI.Conclusions Cerebral blood flow perfusion in three main arteries was significantly increased in fetuses with HLHS/LSOL,and blood flow perfusion in ACA area was significantly increased in fetuses with TGA.ACA-VI,ACA-FI had association with neurodevelopment scores.3D PD ultrasound might help to identify cases of brain vasodilatation earlier and inform parental counseling.
