Objective To investigate the value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for diagnosing typeⅠ congenital choledochocele and its complications. Methods The MR imaging data of 13 cases with proved typeⅠ congenital choledochocele associated with complications were retrospectively reviewed and compared with operative findings. MR imaging sequences included axial T2W and T1W plain scan, true-FISP coronal images, 2D-MRCP, and Gd-enhanced T1W images. Results All patients had cystic dilatation of the common bile ducts to various degrees. In 6 patients complicated with stone and infection, the bile duct showed uniform wall thickening with marked enhancement, and calculus were depicted within the duct lumen with dilatation of the proximal biliary duct. In 7 cases complicated with carcinoma of biliary duct, a polypoid soft tissue mass or nodule was seen inside the ductal lumen in 3 cases, or the duct wall was irregularly thickened in 4 patients. Six cases received curative operation, but one patient with extensive local infiltration, vascular encasement and lymphadenopathy had only palliative treatment. MR imaging observations were verified by surgery findings in all 13 patients. Conclusion MR imaging is very valuable not only in diagnosing typeⅠ congenital choledochocele, but also in revealing its complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of three-dim en sional CT in diagnosis and treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was done for 19 cases of posterior pelvic ring fractur es who were treated from March 2002 to August 2003 and had plain and three-dime nsional CT films. Their radiological characteristics and results were compared b etween the 2 kinds of film. Results 3-D CT corrected the misdiagnosis or uncert ainty of 9 cases who had plain radio-graphs. The 3-D CT showed obvious advanta ges over plain radio-graphs in detecting sacroiliac diastasis, sacroiliac joint fragments, fractures involving iliac and sacral lips abutting the sacroiliac jo int, sacral fracture and complicated comminuted fracture, because it clearly del ineated fractures of posterior pelvic ring and manifested the severity of commin ution and separation. Conclusion The 3-D CT scan provides valuable information for precise diagnosis and treatment plan for the complex posterior pelvic ring f ractures.

8 years for 4 cases;5~8 years for 8 cases;3~5 years for 3 cases;less than 1 year for 1 case respectively.12 cases were followed up by color-sonography examination.The remaining 6 cases were followed by mail or phonecall.Results All cases reached clinical cure with relief or diasppearance of relevant symptoms and signs after 2~7 days PTA.88.9%(16/18) of the cases regained obility to labour or return to work.2 cases of the patients had lung infarction and heart failure immediately after the treatment,1 patient had recurrent stenosis and thrombosis after 1 year of PTA.Conclusion For treatment of membranous BCS,PTA should be the first choice.The majority methods of preventing recurrent stenosis and thrombosis are antithrombin application before PTA and adequate angioplasty during PTA.

Objective To study the variation of blood concentration of tetramine in human body with acute tetramine intoxication treated with three different protocols and the levels in human body after discharge from the hos-pital. Methods The blood concentration of tetramine was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). All 101 patients of acute tetramine intoxication were divided into 3 groups (routine comprehensive treat-ment group,hemoperfusion group,blood transfusion group) according to their blood concentration of tetramine and clinical symptoms. The patients were followed up to monitor the tetramine levels in a year. Results The level of tet-famine in blood was decreased from 33.0(1.7～115.0)μg/L to 18.0(0.3～47.6)μg/L in routine comprehensive treatment group. The total decrement was 45.5 %. The level was decreased from 108.0 (54.0～290.0)μg/L to 26.0 μg/L in hemoperfusion group. The total decrement was 75.9%. The decrement was 20.0%～45.0% after each he-moperfusion. The level was slightly high after 24 h of hemoperfusion. The total decrement in blood transfusion group was 33.5%～60.0%. The level was <0.3μg/L in all 25 out-patients 1 year after their intoxication. Conclusion Routine comprehensive treatment,hemoperfusion,blood transfusion are effective in the treatment of acute tetramine intoxication. The degradation of tetramine in human body is slow.

Objective To explore the feasibility of tubular model based segmentation method for cystic artery and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model of Calot's triangle.Methods A tubular model based 3D region growing algorithm was proposed for the segmentation of cystic arteries and its adjacent vessels from 13 patients' CT images in DICOM format.The data was transferred to 3D visualization workstation based on a set of CalotShow1.0 software for 3D reconstruction.Results The method could effectively segment cystic artery and obtain the 3D model of Calot's triangle.Conclusions The 3D reconstruction model based on tubular model related vessel segmentation method and CalotShow1.0 can accurately display the spatial positions and adjacent relationships of cystic artery and Calot's triangle.

Objective: To investigate the positioning based on the relative retention time of fingerprinting and to establish a new quality evaluation method for traditional Chinese medicine preparations, using one chemical reference substance to calcutate multi- components simultaneously. Methods: Employed icariin as the maker component, icariin relative correction factors (RCF) of epimedin C to icariin, asperosaponin VI to icariin, psoralen to icariin and angelicin to icariin were ealeatated in the chromatographic conditions for determination of the four components in Xianling Gubao Capsule (XGC). The contents of icariin were determined by external standard method, and those of epimedin C, asperosaponin VI, psoralen and angelicin were calculated by icariin and their RCF. The accuracy of the new method was evaluated by comparing the relative retention times and calculating the content which using different brands columns for determination. Results: The analysis methods were established,the linearity was good when sample volume was in the range of at 8.2—328.0 ng for icariine(r = 0.999 5), 0.055 6—2.224 μg for epimedin C (r = 0.999 6), 0.144 1—5.764 μg for asperosaponin VI (r = 0.999 6), 5.4—215.2 ng (r = 0.998 0) for psoralen, 6.6—265.6 ng (r = 0.998 5) for angelicin. The average recoveries of asperosaponin VI, psoralen and psoralen were 97.59%, 98.58%, 98.11%, 97.86%, 98.22%, respectively. The RSDs of recovery were all less than 2.0%; There has been no significant difference between the calculated contents and the determined contents, according to the angle cosine value. Conclusion: The method can control the components without providing epimedin C, asperosaponin VI, psoralen, and angelicin reference. The method is not only save reference substance and medicine resources, but also suitable quality evaluation pattern for TCM preparation. This new method made fingerprinting more meaningful in TCM quality control.

Results Ground glass opacity was seen in all cases, and disseminated several lobes were seen in 7 cases, diffuse distribution was seen in 3 cases. In addition,lung fibrosis happened in 3 cases,nodule in 2 cases,and consolidation in 3 cases.Conclusion Multi-slice CT could provide very valuable information for early diagnosis of cytomegalovirus pneumonia.

ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and self psychologieal elastic for and to provide the scientific basis early for PTSD and psychological intervention.Methods 592 students were selected with the method of random cluster sampling to be investigated with children self psychological elastic scale and post-traumatic stress disorder and screening of questionnaire.ResultsThere were 45 students were PTSD screening positive group,accounting for 7.60％ of the total number,and 15 male students,accounting for 2.53％ of the total number,there were 30 female students,accounting for 5.07％ of the total number.Male and female in psychological elastic scale score were no significant differences (P＞ 0.05 ),PTSD positive group psychological screening elastic total cent and factors points were significantly lower than negative group(P＜ 0.05),PTSD total score was a significantly negative correlation( r =- 0.454,P =0.000).ConclusionPsychology resilience can be used as predictors of incidence of PTSD.
