Real-time three-dimensional echocardiograp hy (RT-3DE) is an important breakthrough in the field of ultrasound imaging technique. It will promote the development of ultrasound in medicine and provide a powerful tool for diagnosis and treatment in clinical settings. In this article, the author will introduce the structure of matrix array transducer and the imaging principle of RT-3DE, the bottle-neck of three-dimensional imaging and the possible resolution to the pitfall, the examination method and the future trend of RT-3DE.

Intracardiovascular smoke-like echo always appears in the regions of stasis.Recently,we experimentally found that its appearance closely related to the erythrocytic rouleaux.(1)In vitro study:Erythrocytic suspension was observed by ultrasound and echofree can be seen on its sonogram.Under mi-croscope.the red blood cells presented dispersed phase.If equal amount of lymphocytic separated solution was put in the suspension,smoke-like echo appeared at the original fluid dark area and the red cells pres-ented pattern of rouleaux.(2)Animal experiment:Under physiological condition,velocity of blood flow israpid and echofree can be seen in the cardiovascular cavity.When blood flow velocity becomes slow or stasis,the shear force will reduce and even disappear,SO.red cells aggregated each other with their concave face and formed a rouleaux.As rouleaux structure was formed,its size became larger and it was nearer orlarger than the wavelength of ultrasound.therefre the reflections were produced and smoke-like echoappeared.It might be the mechanism for the formation of intracardiovascular smoke-like echo.

Objective Because a three-dimensional reconstucted imaging resulting from any site or orientation was acquired,the useful and helpful images for diagnosis should be identified.The present study is to identify a series of right-sided three-dimensional echocardicgraphy over transesophageal two-dimensional echocardicgraphy.Methods Three-dimensional echocardiography was performed in 5 normal subjects and 10 patients.With transesophageal echocardiography,the transducer was inserted into esophagus in different depth which can be visualized right atrium,tricuspid valve and right ventricular cavity.In these different depth,ninety rotational(2 degree interval)sector images of the heart were separately collected and digitized with the echo-scan system.After the images were processed,a three-dimensional data set was established.Any desired right-sided three-dimensional echocardiography could be computed,volume rendered and displayed in monitor.Results The images Of right-sided three-dimensional echoeardiography were reconsturcted in all subjects.A series of useful and helpful right-sided three-dimensional echocardiography were identified for diagnosis as following:①The image of sagital SVC and IVC.②IAS visualized from right atrium.③TV displayed from right atrium.④IVS rendered frma right ventricle.⑤IVS visualized from fight ventricle.⑥RA,TV,RV and RVOT entire appearance.(Z) RARVOT.PV and PA image.⑧The image of free wall of right ventride.⑨IAS,TV,IVS and RVOT entire appearancL Conclusions Three-dimensional eehocardiography is clinically feasible and useful.The images of richt-sided three-dimensional echocardiography identified with be helpful to diagnose the right-sided heart diseases.

AIDS has become a devastating disease facing human around the world.Western medicine can reduce blood HIV load,thereby promoting recovery of immune function. With the extensive application of HAART,many unsolvable problems appear.There is much experience in treatment for infectious diseases in TCM.So,it is necessary and feasible to treat AIDS with TCM.Combination of Chinese and western medicine will achieve complementary advantages and may be a new model for AIDS treatment.Many researchers carry out study on it,but there are still a lot to do to improve the drawbacks.

Ansodamine(654-2)can inhibit the contractile response of the isolated ileum and trachea of Guinea-pigs induced with histamine. The cumulative logarithmic dose-response curves of histamine can be parallelly moved to the right. The PA2 values were 6.575 and 4.914 respectively.It is believed that the anti-bistamine action of ansodamine(654-2) seems to be related to the blocking of the Hi-receptors of the muscles.

AIM: To dissociate and determine the chemical components of volatile oil from Salsola col-lina Pall.in Shandong Province METHODS: The chemical components of volatile oil were analyzed by gaschromatography-massspectraphy(GC/MS). RESULTS: Fifty-nine constituents were identified,which accounted for 87.63% of volatile oil,the major chemical componets in the volatile oil were terpenes and terpene ramifications. CONCLUSION: This method is reliable,stable and repeatable.the data can provide resources for expolitation of Salsola col-lina Pall.

Objective To quantitatively describe the texture features of myocardial image in the acute myocardiac infarction (AMI) using image texture analysis. Methods Anterior descending branch of left coronary artery was ligated to set up AMI model in 11 dogs. Image texture was analyzed using grey tone co-occurrence matrix method, and 4 kinds of texture parameters including angular second moment(ASM), contrast(CON), entropy(ENT), and inverse difference moment(IDM) in normal myocardium and infarct myocardium were observed. Results A significant difference in 4 kinds of texture parameters was found between pre- and post-infarct myocardium (P

0.05).The gene frequencies of ACG-T235M and ACE-DD plus AGT-TT were significantly higher in the patients with CAD than in the controls respectively(all P

OBJECTIVE: To discuss about the meaning of short-range application of gynecological perioperative antibacterials and its efficacy of infection prevention. METHODS: 100 cases of type Ⅰ & Ⅱ incision selective operations during Jun.～Nov., 2006 (control group) and 105 cases during Jun.～Nov., 2007 (short-range group) were collected and analyzed in respect of hospitalization time, hospitalization time after operation, applying time of antibacterials, cost of antibacterials, variety of antibacterials and post-operation infection. RESULTS: In short-rang group costs and applying time of antibacterials reduced significantly, which were significantly different from that in control group. No significant difference was noted in cases of post-operation infection. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference between short-range medication and long-range medication for preventing infection of gynecological type Ⅰ & Ⅱ incision selective operation.

To evaluate the morphology of atrial septum by the live three-dimensional echocardiography (L3DE) and its value of clinical application, L3DE was performed in 62 subjects to observe the morphological characteristics and dynamic change of the overall anatomic structure of atrial septum. The study examined 49 patients with atrial septal defect (ASD), including 3 patients with atrial septal aneurysm, and 10 healthy subjects. ASD in the 35 patients was surgically confirmed. The maximal diameters of ASD were measured and the percentages of area change were calculated. The parameters derived from L3DE were compared with intraoperative measurements. The results showed that L3DE could directly and clearly display the morphological features of overall anatomic structure of normal atrial septum, repaired and artificially-occluded atrial septum, atrial septal aneurysm. The defect area in ASD patients changed significantly during cardiac cycle, which reached a maximum at end-systole and a minimum at end-diastole, with a mean change percentage of 46.6%, ranging from 14.8% to 73.4%. The sizes obtained from L3DE bore an excellent correlation with intraoperative findings (r=0.90). It is concluded that L3DE can clearly display the overall morphological features and dynamic change of atrial septum and measure the size of ASD area accurately, which is important in the decision to choose therapeutic protocols.
