Objective To analyze the relation between ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR)and the changes of left ventricular systolic synchrony and volume parameters before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)in patients with subacute myocardial infarction and to evaluate the impact of PCI on IMR by measuring such changes with three-dimensional echocardiography volume quantitation technology. Methods Eighty-seven patients were enrolled and echo data were acquired before and 6 months after PCI. Patients were classified into alleviation group (group Ⅰ)and non-alleviation group (group Ⅱ)according to the change of mitral regurgitation volume (MRvol).The systolic synchrony indexes (Tmsv 1 6-SD%,Tmsv 1 6-Dif%)and left ventricle volume parameters (LVEDVI and LVESVI)before and after PCI for patients of two groups were measured and contrasted.Results Systolic synchrony indexes of all patients of two groups were improved after PCI.Left ventricular volume parameters were decreased after PCI in group Ⅰ,and the remodeling was reduced.Correlation analysis of the parameters variations showed that,there was significant positive correlation between variations of left ventricular volume and MRvol in all patients and no significant correlation between variation of systolic synchrony index and MRvol.Conclusions PCI can improve left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony for submyocardial infarct patients.Left ventricular volume index that reflects the remodeling process is closely related to IMR.

Acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) is a clinically rare subtype of acute leukemia (AL). AUL lacks the serial specific antigen expressions, and the blasts have no morphological features of myeloid differentiation. Due to the rarity of AUL in clinic, there is no unified understanding of clinical and biological characteristics. It′s difficult to diagnose and choose the optimal treatment for AUL patients. And the prognosis of patients with AUL is poorer compared with other types of AL. Thanks to the big development of biotechnology in recent years, the related researchers have a better understanding of this rare disease. This article reviews the progress of diagnosis and treatment in AUL.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(RT-3D-TEE)in cardiac valvular diseases.Methods Preoperative and postoperative RT-3D-TEE studies were performed in 32 patients who had undertaken cardiac valve repair or valvular replacement using Philips iE33 with X7-2 probe,and quantitative analysed the mitral structure in cases of mitral valve prolapse by using online QLAB7.0 quantitative analysis software.Results RT-3D-TEE can demonstrate the anatomicsl structure clearly,evaluate the function of cardiac valves precisely,and reveal details of type,position and extent of lesions vividly in surgical view.RT-3D-TEE helped correct misdiagnose in 2 cases,revised surgical plans in 3 cases,and guided implementation of remedial surgery in 1 case.Conclusions RT-3D-TEE can present images lively,and it can provide adequate information for preoperative diagnosis,aid the formulation of surgical plan and evaluate surgical effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) on minimally invasive surgical closure of heart septal defects. Methods Thirty-four patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) and 38 patients with ventricular septal defect(VSD) were selected by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) prepared for minimally invasive surgical closure. TEE was performed to choose appropriate occluder and guide occluder release during the procedure. The immediate closure effect also evaluated by using TEE. A week follow-up was done by using TTE. Results Successful occlusion was in 32 patients with ASD and 29 patients with VSD. On 1 week follow-up,neither displacement for the occluders nor residual shunt except minimal residual shunt in 3 patients. The ventrieular remodeling was improved, the valvular regurgitation and pulmonary arterial pressure decreased. Conclusions TEE is important in minimally invasive surgical closure of atrial, ventricular septal defects, especially in choosing the candidate for the procedure and occluder, guiding occluder released and evaluating the procedure.

Objective:To analyse the effects of mandibular swing approach in the treatment of the tumors in infratemporal fossa. Methods:11 patients with tumors in infratemporal fossa treated by the surgical operation with mandibular swing approach. The mandi-ble cut was at the front of foramina mentale in 5 cases, at the front of mandible angle in 4 cases and at the middle of chin in 2 cases re-spectively. Results:According to the nature, location, size and the relationship of the tumors with peripheral nerve and blood vessels, flexible selection of the position of mandibular cut could fully expose and completely remove the infratemporal fossa tumor. Conclusion:Surgical treatment of the tumors in infratemporal fossa by mandibular swing approach is safe and effective.

Objective:To analyse the methord and effects of intermaxillary traction(IMT)screws used in the treatment of jaw frac-ture.Methods:In the treatment of 1 68 cases of jaw fracture IMT screws were used for the restoration of normal and stable occlusion. The screw number,position,traction effect and postoperative complications of the treatment were analysed.Results:705 screws were used in 168 patients,4 screws were used in each of 147 cased (88%),6 in 12(7%),5 in 9(5%).336(47.7%)screws were fixed between the roots of first and second premolar,292(41 .4%)between the roots of canine and first premolar,50 (7.1%)be-tween the roots of second premolar and first molar,27(3.8%)between the other tooth roots.Normal postoperative occlusion relation was achived by the use of screws in 92 cases without traction.Occlusion disharmony or deviation was found in 76 cases by the used of screws and was restored to normlal by 1 4-day traction in 71 cases.The total efficiency of the treatment was 97%.Pain of the mucosa surrounding the screws was observed in 23 cases (1 3.7%).Root damage,traction screw loosening and adjacent tooth dislocation were observed in 1 3(1 .8%),1 1 (1 .6%)and 2(0.3%)cases respectively.Conclusion:For the fixation of IMT screws,the posi-tions between tooth root from canine to first molar were most common and safe.The fixation point should be in 5 ~8mm below the gin-gival margin.Use of 4-6 screws can meet treatment need.

Objective To evaluate the mechanical characteristics of systolic left ventricular(LV) transmural torsion in different LV electro-mechanical patterns using speckle tracking imaging. Methods Five open-chest canine models were employed for the acquirement of the basal, apical short-axis and four-chamber views of LV during baseline(BASE) and right atrial appendage(RAA), right ventricular apical (RVA), left ventricular lateral wall (LVL) and left ventrieular apical (LVA) pacing. Subendocardial (subend),subepicardial(subepi) and bulk rotation angle(RA) and segmental angle excursion(AE) at basal and apical level were analyzed using a dedicated workstation. LV torsion at different layers and bulk and global LV ejection fraction (EF) were calculated. Results ① There were no significant difference of transmural torsion and RA at basal and apical level between BASE and RAA pacing (P>0.05);② LV torsion of subend, subepi and bulk during RVA pacing were lower than those during RAA pacing(P0.05);LV torsion of subend and bulk during LVA pacing were lower than those during RAA pacing(P0.05);LV RA of subend,subepi and bulk at basal level during RVA and LVA pacing were lower than those during RAA pacing (P<0.05); ③ For normal electro-mechanical pattern, LV torsion of subend were significant higher than that of subepi(P<0.05), there only were a higher tendency for all pacing models (P>0.05); ④AE of segments near the pacing site decreased during different ventricle paeings (P<0.05); ⑤At BASE and during RAA pacing, LV bulk and subepi torsion were positively correlated to EF; RA of subend,subepi and bulk at basal level were positively correlated to EF. Conclusions LV transmual torsion are significantly depressed during RVA and LVA pacing. There is a spatial co-relationship between LV EF and torsion and rotation of bulk and subepi at basal level in normal LV electro-mechanical patterns.
