Objective To evaluate the magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) in senile lower extremity arterial disease and to compare the diagnostic value of two dimensional time of flight(2D TOF) with three dimensional contrast enhancement(3D CE) technique. Methods Seventy patients with a mean age of 75 years underwent MRA for suspected acute or chronic lower extremity arterial disease. MRA was performed with a 1 5 T MR scanner and Gd DTPA was used by manual injection in 3D CE MRA. Among 52 patients examined with 2D TOF MRA, 18 of them underwent an additional 3D CE MRA, 32 patients took Doppler ultrasound examination, and 4 patients received emergency operation. Results In all 70 patients, 52 showed atherosclerotic stenosis disease, 17 atherosclerotic occlusive disease (4 of them were verified by emergency operation) and one patient atherosclerosis with aneurysmal dilatation. A total of 997 vessel segments were shown on MRA images and 600 of them were abnormal including 486(81%) mild to moderate stenoses, 114(19%) severe stenoses and 451 curved arterial segments. In 32 patients who underwent Doppler ultrasound, the diagnosis and its grading based on MRA was well correlated with that from Doppler ultrasound (coincidence rate was 91% and 96% respectively). A total of 764 suprapopliteal and 125 infrapopliteal arteries were depicted by 2D TOF MRA (visibility was 99% and 40% respectively). In 18 patients who received additional 3D CE MRA, totally 306 arteries were depicted on MRA (visibility 100%). Doppler ultrasound showed 40 segments with arterial calcification and 32 atherosclerotic plaques. Conclusions MRA is quite useful in detecting lower extremity arterial disease because of its noninvasion and convenience. The results derived from MRA are well correlated with that of Doppler ultrasound and clinical outcome. 3D MRA is superior to 2D TOF MRA in image quality, accuracy and time efficiency and is best for emergency case. Pitfalls of MRA such as overestimation in the severity of the disease and the long scanning time of 2D TOF must be taken into consideration .

Objective To improve X-ray and clinical knowledge of asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia(ATD).Methods X-ray film and CT findings of twin infants were studied meanwhile relative literature about ATD was reviewed.Results The main positive fingings of ATD were as follow:(1)The thoracic cages were both shorter than usual in the transverse and anterioposterior diameter;the anterior ends of the ribs are widened and cupped;(2)The pelvis also show abnormalities which include some flaring of the ilia,and early ossification of the centers for the capital femoral epiphyses;(3)Incureable respiratory infection was the prominent clinical manifestation.Conclusion ATD,a rarely seen disease,often occurs in those patients who suffer from pneumonia repeatedly;Because plain films can clearly show the relative characteristic deformity changes of thoracic cage and pelvis,X-ray examination can be regarded as the most important diagnostic method.

Objective:To measure and analyze the corneal biological parameters of Tibetan junior middle school students who have lived in Mozhugongka County of Lhasa city for a long time.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.The basic information including gender, age and grade of 1 784 Tibetan junior high school students who have lived in Mozhugongka County of Lhasa city for a long time was collected, and the corneal biological parameters were measured in May, 2020.The available data of 690 students were obtained in this study.Unilateral eye of each subject was randomly selected for statistical analysis using computer random number method.Three hundred and forty-five right eyes and 345 left eyes from 366 males and 324 females were included.There were 461 eyes from students aged 12 to 15 years, and 229 eyes from students aged 16 to 20 years.Sirius 3D corneal topography and anterior segment analysis system were used to measure the thinnest corneal thickness (TCT), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), iridocorneal corneal angle, simulated K1 and simulated K2, thinnest point position.Histogram and Q-Q chart were used to assess the distribution of continuous variables except the thinnest point position of cornea.The differences in biological parameters were compared between males and females, 12-15 years group and 16-20 years group as well as right eyes and left eyes.The literature of corneal biological parameters from other ethnic group was reviewed and compared with the Tibetan subjects.This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Tibet Hospital (No.QZYY2019-IRBPJ-21).Results:The ACD of the right eye of the students was (3.31±0.27)mm, which was significantly greater than (3.26±0.26)mm of the left eye ( t=0.745, P=0.012). Mean TCT, CCT, iridocorneal angle, simulated K1 and simulated K2 were (504.99±30.73)μm, (509.10±35.82)μm, (47.45±5.70)°, (43.15±1.89)D, and (44.16±2.29)D of the right eye, and thoes of the left eyes were (503.34±29.22)μm, (508.36±28.75)μm, (47.86±5.88)°, (43.06±1.40)D and (44.16±1.53)D, respectively, with no significant differences between the right and left eyes (all at P>0.05). The ACD and iridocorneal angle were significantly greater, and the simulated K1 and simulated K2 were significantly smaller in males compared with females (all at P<0.05). There were no significant differences in TCT and CCT between males and females (both at P>0.05). The corneal biological parameters were not signficantly different between different age groups (all at P>0.05). The thinnest point of cornea distributed mainly at inferior temporal quadrant zone for the right eyes, and superior temporal quadrant zone for the left eyes. Conclusions:Corneal biological parameters of Tibetan junior high school students in high altitude areas might be different from those of other ethnic students.Ophthalmologists should pay attention to this population in diagnosis and treatment of corneal diseases and refractive error.
