Various collateral circulations were detected by 2D color Doppler flow imaging(2DCDFI)in the part of 70 patients of liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension,including reopened umbilical veins,dilated focal intrahepatic veins,dilating,hepatofugal centrifugal hepatic blood flow in the portalveins,perisplenic and retroperitoneai varices etc.Red and blue blood flows were detected in the collateral circulations by 2D-CDFI and appeared as continuous venous spectrum with low velocity blood volume could be calculated to evaluat the therapeulic effectiveness of portal-systemic shunt operation.

Objective To assess the effect of arterial embolization in treating hyperthroidism by colour ultrasonography.Methods Forty two cases of hyperthyroidism were treated with thyroid arteries embolization. A few days before and 1, 3, 6 months after embolization, the echograms of thyroids were observed including the volumes of thyroids and the internal diameters of thyroid arteries were measured with colour ultrasonography respectively. The Vs, Vd, Vm, PI, RI were measured with the Doppler and the quantities of blood flow were calculated. The relationships of changes for all these parameters and T 3, T 4 and TSH were analysed. Results Before artery embolization all thyroids were enlarged with diffusely homogenous or heterogenous low echos and nodules in some patients accompanied by widenings of the thyroid arteries and their branches full of blood supply. The volume of thyroids decreased after artery embolization. 1 3 months later the echo of thyroids enhanced and got coarse with decrease of the thyroid vasculature and narrowing of vessel calibers except a few star or spot like blood streams were sometimes seen within the thyroids and no blood flow signals found in some cases. 3 6 months after embolization, the echo of thyroids decreased gradually or unevenly distribnted. All the parameters of blood flow before and after the treatment showed statistically significant differences( P

Objective To investigate the effect of parecoxib on cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats. Methods Twenty-four adult male SD rats, weighing 230-250 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 8 each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S), group Ⅱ AMI and group Ⅲ parecoxib (group P). Myocardial infarction was induced by ligation of left anterior descending branch (LAD) of coronary artery in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ . In group S, LAD and cervical sympathetic trunk were exposed but not ligated and transected.Group P received intrperitoneal parecoxib 8 mg/kg once a day for 3 days 24 h after ligation of LAD, while group AMI received normal saline instead. At 4th day after ligation LAD, the left ventricular systolic pressure ( LVSP),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and ± dp/dtmax were measured and recorded. Blood samples were taken from common carotid artery to determine the plasma concentrations of TXA2 and PGI2 and PGI2/TXA2 was calculated. Then the animals were sacrificed and hearts removed. Myocardial infarct size of left venicle was calculated. Results Compared with group S, LVSP, ± dp/dtmax, plasma concentrations of PGI2 and PGI2/TXA2 were significantly decreased, while LVEDP and plasma concentrations of TXA2 increased in group AMI and P( P <0.05). Compared with group AMI, LVSP, ± dp/dtmax, plasma concentrations of PGI2 and PGI2/TXA2 were significantly decreased, while LVEDP and plasma concentrations of TXA2 increased in group P ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in myocardial infarct size between group AMI and P (P > 0.05). Conclusion Parecoxib can improve cardiac function after AMI in rats and the mechanism is related to regulation of the balance of PGI2/TXA2.

Objective To observe the efficacy of ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus Chinese medication enema in treating diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Method Forty patients with antibiotics-induced diarrhea were randomized into an observation group and a control group. Twenty cases in the control group were treated by Metronidazole and Live Combined Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus tablets; twenty cases in the observation group were given ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus Chinese medication enema. The total effective rate and the change of abdominal pain index were observed after successive 7-day treatment. Result The total effective rate in the observation group (90.0%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (70.0%) (P<0.05); the diarrhea score was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus Chinese medication enema can promote the recovery of antibiotics-induced diarrhea, mitigate abdominal symptoms and signs, and enhance the quality of life of patients.
