The development and progression of atherosclerosis and thrombosis are closely related to changes of hemodynamics parameters. Ultrasonic pulse wave Doppler technique is normally used for noninvasively blood flow imaging. However, this technique only provides one-dimensional velocity and depends on the angle between the ultrasound beam and the local velocity vector. In this study, ultrasonic particle image velocimetry method was used to assess whole field hemodynamic changes in normal blood vessels. By using the polynomial fitting method, we investigated the velocity gradient and assessed the shear in different blood flow velocity of 10 healthy rats. It was found that using four polynomial fitting could result in optimal measurement results. The results obtained by ultrasonic particle image velocimetry accorded with the results obtained using Doppler technique. The statistical average of cyclical vessel wall shear stress was positively related to the locational mean velocity. It is proven that ultrasonic particle image velocimetry method could be used to assess directly the real-time whole field hemodynamic changes in blood vessels and was non-invasively, and should be a good prosperous technique for monitoring complex blood flow in stenotic ar- teries.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for coronary artery lesions (CALs) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) in Lanzhou. Methods One hundred and seventy-four children with diagnosed KD were divided into CAL group and non-CAL group based on the existence of concurrent CALs. The age, gender, fever duration, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) start time, IVIG dose, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), platelet (PLT), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin and so on were compared. Results Among the 174 children, 46 children (26.44%) were complicated by CALs and 128 children were not. The differences of average fever duration, IVIG starting time, IVIG dose, PLT, CRP, ESR and RBC were statistically signiifcant (P<0.05). Conclusions When KD children has the fever durations>10 d, start of IVIG af-ter 10 days of fever, increase of PLT, CRP and ESR and decrease of RBC, clinicians should be alert to the risk of concurrent CAL.
