Objective To investigate the effect of different injection rate of contrast medium on the quality of multislice spiral CT portography(SCTP). Methods Thirty patients with no prominent difference in the age and weight randomly divided into 3 groups (10 cases each group) underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan of abdomen. Non-ionic contrast medium (300 mgⅠ/ml, 1.5 ml/kg) was injected through antebrachium veins with power injector at the rates of 2.0 ml/s,3.0 ml/s and 4.0ml/s. Arterial phase acquisi-tion was made using the software of automated bolus triggering with a ROI placed on abdominal aorta when 100 HU was reached, and 7 seconds and 20 seconds later, portal phases were done respectively. The attenuations of portal vein(PV) and hepatic parenchy-ma of 3 groups were measured on source images. Then the oblique axial and coronal maximum intensity projection(MIP) maps were reconstructed at workstation and PVs were observed. Statistics analysis was made with software of SPSS 11.5. Results The attenu-ations of PV in 2.0ml/s, 3.0 ml/s and 4.0 ml/s groups were (150.80±21.16)HU, (170.90±17.26)HU and [181.90±22.88) HU respectively. There was obvious difference between 2.0ml/s and 4.0ml/s groups for atteuation of PV(P=0.017). The differences of CT attenuation of PV-hepatic parenchyma in three groups were (50.20±17.40) HU, (67.10±23.08) HU and (76.20±22.75) HU respectively. Prominent difference was also found between 2.0 ml/s and 4.0 ml/s groups(P=0.039). The grades of segment of PV displayed on SCTP maps were 4.20±1.14,4.90±0.99 and 5.50±0.53 in 2.0 ml/s,3.0 ml/s and 4.0 ml/s groups respectively, which were of obvious differences between them (P=0.013). Conclusion Injection rate of contrast medium dose influence the quality of SCTP of PV,SCTP quality is best with velocity of flow at 4.0 ml/s.

Objective:To explore the effect of sarpogrelate on platelet function in patients at the bridging stage before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: A total of 40 consecutive patients with peripheral artery stent and scheduled for CABG in our hospital from 2011-05 to 2013-04 were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone group, n=19 and Sarpogrelate+LMWH group, n=21. The medications started at 5-7 days before CABG and stopped at 24 h before CABG. The platelet inhibition rates (platelet aggregation induced by collagen+ serotonin) were examined and compared between 2 groups at the baseline (before randomization), 24h and 1h before CABG respectively.
Results: The platelet inhibition rates were similar between 2 groups at the baseline (87.33 ± 6.82) % vs (86.11 ± 6.87) %, P=0.577 and 1h before CABG (62.60 ± 12.39) % vs (56.19 ± 14.99) %, P=0.148. At 24h before CABG, the platelet inhibition rate in Sarpogrelate+LMWH group was higher than that in LMWH alone group (83.87 ± 8.99)%vs (63.13 ± 10.88)%, P<0.001. Compared with the baseline, the falling range of platelet inhibition was lower in Sarpogrelate+ LMWH group at 24h before CABG, (3.46 ± 6.18) % vs (22.98 ± 9.43) %, P<0.001 and the falling range was similar between 2 groups at 1h before CABG (24.73 ± 14.19)%vs (29.92 ± 14.28)%, P=0.257.
Conclusion: Sarpogrelate + LMWH may result better platelet inhibition rate with quicker recovery of platelet function upon the medication stopping, which might be a feasible management in patients at the bridging stage before CABG.
