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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

The left to right shunt rate(F)and the transverse seetional area of ductus arteriosus(A)were calculated by color Doppler flow convergence method in 20 patients with patent ductus arteriosus.The results indicated that the shunt rate(F)was correlated fairly with Qp-Qs,Qp/Qs(measured by pulsed wave Doppler),the pressure gradient(△P)and the diameter of left ventricle(DLV)(r=0.81,0.62,0.69 and 0.53;P＜0.001,0.005,0.001 and 0.01,respectively).The transverse sectional area of ductus arteriosus(A)was also correlated closely with the diameter of ductus arteriosus(Dd)measured directly in two-dimensional view(r=0.81,P＜0.001).The F value of group Qp/Qs≥2:1 was apparently higher than that of group Qp/Qs＜2:1(P＜0.005).The color Doppler flow convergence method can rapidly and exactly evaluate the left to right shunt severity of patent ductus arteriosus.

The shape of regurgitant jets in 30 patients with eccentric mitral regurgitaltoll Showing flow convergence region(FCR)was observed.It was found that the shapes of the jets were allslender and close to left atrial wall.In comparison of the regurgitant volume calculated by pulsed Doppler and regurgitant flow rate by flow convergence with the regurgitant jet area and the ratio 0f the regurgitant area to left atrial area respectively,the results showed that there were poor correlations between them (r=0.59,0.56 and r=0.55,0.57)and good correlation between regurgitant volume determined by Pulsed Doppler and regurgitant flow rate by flow convergence(r=0. 96,P<0.01).When the regurgitant flow rates calculated by flow convergence were same,the regurgitartt jet area and the ratio of the regurgitant jet area to left atrial area of non-eccentric mitral regurgitation were obviously larger than those of eccentric mitral regurgitation.The results indicated that the regurgitant jet area and the ratio of the regurgitant jet area to left atrial area underestimated the severity of eccentric mitral regurgitation apparently and that flow convergence region could be used to assess the seVerItY 0f eccentric mitral regurgitation accurately.
