Objective To investigate the relationship of character of atherosclerotic plaque in carotid artery and serum CRP level. Methods The atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries were confirmed by multislice CT angiography(MSCTA),in which serum CRP level were detected in 28 patients with cerebral thrombosis,24 patients with lacunar infarction and 19 patients with TIA in internal carotid artery system in order to analysis the relationship between character of plaque and serum CRP level. Results (1)Mixed plaque and soft plaque were mainly found in cerebral thrombosis and TIA groups, while rigidity plaque was mostly found in lacunar infarction group, there were significance difference in plaques distribution among three groups(all P0.05).(3) CRP level in different groups was (4.546?2.720)mg/L in soft plaque group, (3.951?1.863)mg/L in mixed plaque group respectively,those were both higher than that of the rigidity plaque group[(2.762?1.323)mg/L],and there was significance difference between them(all P

ObjectiveTo evaluate left ventricular systolic synchrony in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by speckle tracking imaging (STI) and real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) and investigate the correlation with ECG-gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (GMPS).MethodsA total of thirteen patients with CAD diagnosed by coronary angiography underwent STI and RT-3DE examinations.The data was analysed off-line using Qlab 8.0 software.STI systolic synchrony indexes included the standard deviation of times to peak strain in radial and circumferial direction in 12 left ventricular segments (Trs12-SD and Tcs12-SD),the standard deviation of times to peak longitudinal strain in 16 left ventricular segments (Tls16-SD).RT-3DE systolic synchrony indexes included the standard deviation of times to the minimum systolic volume in 16 and 12 left ventricular segments (Tmsv16-SD and Tmsv12-SD).GMPS was performed within one week before or after echocardiography.Phase analysis was performed offline using Emory Cardiac Toolbox software.Peak phase,phase SD,bandwidth,skewness and kurtosis were calculated.Results Trs12-SD derived from STI had a positive correlation with phase SD and bandwidth ( r =0.800,P ＜0.05 ; r =0.607,P ＜0.05).Tmsv16-SD derived from RT-3DE had a better positive correlation with phase SD and bandwidth ( r =0.847,P =0.001 ; r =0.890,P ＜0.001).ConclusionsTmsv16-SD derived from RT-3DE had a better correlation with GMPS parameters than STI parameters.RT-3DE assessment of left ventricular systolic parameters is expected to become the ideal synchronization indicator.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the structure of TMJ and the craniofacial pattern,occlusion in ClassⅡ1mandibular retrusion children. Methods:TMJ MRI,lateral cephalometric were taken respectively from 30 ClassⅡ1 patients (14 boys and 16 girls,the average age was 10.8?1.1 years). The condyle position and disc position were measured. The correlation of condyle and disc position with craniofacial pattern and occlusion were analyzed metrically and compared with pearson test.Results:There were low positive correlation between MP-SN angle and anterial space. No correlation between posterior-anterior ratio and other data were found. The posterior facial height and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc angle had low positive correlation. The anterior facial height and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc、Ca-Ca'、Ca-Cp showed low negative correlation,and little correlation was found between condyle position and overbite and overjet. Overbite had no correlation with disc-condyle-fossa relationship. However,The positive correlation was found between the overjet. and Ca-Dm and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc,and Pearson coefficient is 0.420 and 0.460.Conclusion:Vertical craniofacial patter has relation to forward displacement of condyle and backward displacement of disc. A deeper overjet is related with a higher risk of abnormal disc-condyle-fossa relationship.

Objective To comparing the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) between doctors in general hospitals and community hospitals,and to provide scientific clues for the standardization in medical practice.Methods General and community hospitals in urban China were selected via the stratified sampling.127,325 outpatients in these hospitals from December 2011 to December 2012 were randomly recruited.Results The average age of patients was(67.82±8.62) years.There were significant differences in I-PSS,prostate volume,urinary flow rate(UFR) and result of digital rectal examination(DRE) between patients in general and community hospitals.The rates of diagnostic applications were different between doctors in the two kinds of hospitals except I-PSS.Compared with community hospitals,DRE was more frequently applied while ultrasonic inspection and UFR test were less used in general hospitals in North China.A totally opposite situation was observed in East China as compared with the north.The application rates of DRE and UFR test were lower and ultrasonic inspection rate was higher in community hospitals than in general hospitals in South China.Pharmacotherapy was the most common treatment for BPH patients in both types of hospitals(97.53 ％).The rates of drug combinations were statistically different but both were close to 75％ in the two types of hospitals.In community hospitals,the percentage of patients receiving watchful waiting with severe symptoms and signs were lower than that of patients receiving watchful waiting with moderate symptoms and signs,but the percentage of patients receiving operation was not significantly increased.On the contrary,the percentage of patients receiving operation with severe symptoms and signs was higher than that of patients receiving operation with moderate symptoms and signs in general hospitals,but the percentage of patients receiving watchful waiting was not decreased.Conclusions Applications of diagnostic methods are significantly different between doctors in general hospitals and community hospitals and vary among regions.Therapeutic strategies are correlated with the severity of obstructive symptoms or signs.The medication strategy is similar between the two types of doctors.

Objective To promote the standardization of medical practice in China by comparing the discrepancies of diagnosis and medication strategies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) between urologists and geriatricians.Methods Departments of urology and geriatrics in general hospitals in China were selected through stratified sampling and 145 315 patients who went for the outpatient service in certain days during December 2011 to December 2012 were recruited by cluster.Questionnaires were completed by corresponding doctors and data of patient clinical characteristics as well as diagnostic and therapeutic pattern were collected.Results A total of 142 511 valid questionnaires were collected with 119 426 from urology and 23 085 from geriatrics.The average age of BPH patients was (68.34±8.61) years and the average IPSS was 17.93±4.73.The rates of diagnostic method were IPSS (99.2％),ultrasonic inspection (86.0％),digital rectal examination (DRE) (66.0％) and urine flow rate test (55.2％).The rate of ultrasonic application was lower while the rates of other methods were higher among urologists (P＜0.01) ; the rate of DRE among urologists was 2.2 times to that among geriatricians.For patients with moderate or severe symptoms,most urologists (72.1％ in moderate patients and 79.9％ in severe patients) applied drug-combination strategy and the rate was 2 times to that among geriatricians (P＜0.01).In contrast,most geriatricians (59.7％ in moderate patients and 56.1％ in severe patients) applied single drug to BPH patients.Urologists utilized α-receptor blockers,plant preparations and traditional Chinese medicine more frequently than geriatricians (P＜0.01).Conclusions Urologists performed more integrated diagnosis strategy compared with geriatricians.The urologists tended to use 5α-reductase inhibitor combined with α-receptor blocker to treat BPH patients with moderate or severe symptoms,while geriatricians preferred 5α-reductase inhibitor alone.
