Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2003;0(10):-
Objective To evaluate atrial stunning and the recovery of atrial function after successful cardioversion in the patients with atrial fibrillation by utilizing tissue Doppler imaging(TDI) and M-mode echocardiography in atria-ventricular annulus motion, together with pulsed Doppler echocardiography and apexcardiogram. Methods Thirty-four patients with atrial fibrillation received ultrasound examinations in 1 hour,1 day,1 week and 1 month after successful cardioversion. The results were compared with those of 20 age-matched healthy individuals. From the echocardiography apical 4-chamber views, the atrial mechnical activities in the mitral and tricuspid annulus were recorded using two-dimensional echocardiography guided M-mode and TDI. Furthermore, pulsed Doppler transmitral and transtricuspid inflow velocity and apexcardiogram were also recorded. Atrial stunning means the lack of atrial mechanical function after atrial electrical activity was recovered with successful cardioversion. Results Left and right atrial functions after cardioversion were both inferior to those of the healthy ones,but improved with time,up to 1 week right arial function turned basically to normal and 1 month left one recovered to normal.The incidence of atrial stunning in left and right atrium accounted for (20.6)% and (14.7)% respectively at 1 hour after successful cardioversion, (11.76)% and (14.7)% at 1 day, (6.5)% and (3.2)% at 1 week. Conclusions Both left and right atrial functions are lower than the normal after cardioversion,and atrial stunning happens in both atria.Left and right atria recover to normal respectively in 1 month and 1 week.

This study was aimed to observe the promotion effect of wound healing retention enema for postoperative anal fistula by modifiedWu-Wei Xiao-Du(WWXD) decoction, in order to explore its mechanism. A total of 60 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were diagnosed as simple low anal fistula and treated with low anal fistula incision. The retention enema of 30 mL modified WWXD decoction or complexHuang-Bai fluid were given once a day for postoperative dressing changes. Detailed observations and scores were made on wound exudate, color, and itching around the anus. The comparisons were made on carrion off time, new epithelium time, rate of wound-reducing, wound healing time, and the total clinical efficacy 21 days after operation. The results showed that the wound exudate on the 7th and 14th postoperative day was better than that of the control group. There was no significant difference on the 21st day between two groups. The wound color of the treatment group was better than that of the control group on the 7th and 14th postoperative day. The itching around anus of the treatment group was better than that of the control group on the 7th, 14th and 21st postoperative day. The carrion wound off time and new epithelium time of the treatment group were earlier than that of the control group. There was no significant difference on the rate of wound-reducing. There were no significant differences on the total clinical efficacy 21 days after operation as well as the total average healing time of both groups. It was concluded that modified WWXD decoction can shorten the inflammation phase, reduce the wound exudate and itching, promote early carrion fall and as well as the wound healing.

Objective To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy and complication of esophageal cancer patients with two-field lymph node dissection by thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy surgery and open surgery. Methods One hundred and fifty esophageal cancer patients with two-field lymph node dissection were selected, and they were divided into control group (using open surgery, 75 cases) and observation group (using thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy surgery, 75 cases) by random digits table method. The operation time, bleeding amount, hospital staying time, number of lymph node dissection, reoperation rate, intensive care unit (ICU) transferring rate and postoperative complication were compared. Results There was no statistical difference in operation time between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The bleeding amount and hospital staying time in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (210.33 ± 30.71) ml vs. (254.59±35.28) ml and (8.45±1.52) d vs. (11.61±2.08) d, there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The number of chest lymph node dissection in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group:(17.20±4.06) pieces vs. (10.44±2.65) pieces, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in reoperation rate and ICU transferring rate between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in incidences of hoarseness and anastomotic stenosis between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of pulmonary infection and arrhythmia in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group:17.33%(13/75) vs. 30.67%(23/75) and 2.67%(2/75) vs. 14.67%(11/75), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with open surgery, thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy surgery with two-field lymph node dissection for esophageal cancer patients can effectively reduce the degree of operative trauma, accelerate postoperative rehabilitation process, improve the effects of lymph node dissection, and reduce postoperative complication risk.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of the cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis in patients aged 90 years and older. Methods A total of 92 patients,aged 90 years or older,admitted to our hospital from July 2009 to July 2014 were respec-tively enrolled in this study. All participants underwent CTA to assess the presence and severity of atherosclerotic stenosis with intracranial and extracranial cerebral artery. The association between atherosclerotic stenosis and related risk factors were analyzed. Results The preva-lence of cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis was high in the cohort. The frequency of stenosis with intracranial artery was higher than the frequency with extracranial artery (86. 2% vs 44. 8%). The most common positions of cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis were the middle cerebral artery (43. 1%),the posterior cerebral artery (43. 1%),and extracranial vertebral artery (32. 8%). The mean age,body mass in-dex,systolic and diastolic blood pressure,and fasting blood glucose of stenosis group are significantly different from the non-stenosis group in single factor analysis (P<0. 05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed body mass index was the independent risk factor of cere-bral artery atherosclerotic stenosis(β=1. 326,OR=3. 765,P<0. 05). Conclusion The prevalence of cerebral artery atherosclerotic steno-sis was high in the patients aged 90 years and older. Body mass index was the independent risk factor. The weight control should be pay atten-tion to prevent cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis and stroke.
