Objective To analyze the change of the shear stress in atherosclerotic carotid artery of rabbits and its effect on the plaque and intimia-media pathological morphology. Methods Totally 36 male Japanese White rabbits were randomly divided into blank control group (n=6), sham operation control group (n=6) and the surgery group (n=24). The blank control group was fed by normal diet. The sham operation control group was fed by the high-cholesterol diet. The surgery group was fed by high-cholesterol diet and treated by air-drying. In the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th week after operation, the hemodynamic parameters were measured using Color Doppler Flow Imaging. Blood viscosity was determined and the degree of artery stenosis was showed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The stenosis rate, mean shear stress, intimia-media ratio and mean integrated optical densities (IOD) of media smooth muscle cells (SMC) were calculated respectively. Results The typical atherosclerotic plaque was presented in surgery group. The thickness of media and mean IOD of SMC were increased at the 2nd week after operation. However, following the increase of the stenosis rate and shear stress, the flow field was changed on the stenotic artery. The pathological morphology showed the character of vulnerable plaque such a large lipid core, thin fibrous cap, and plaque rupture at 4th, 8th week after operation. The media showed atrophy and became thin, mean IOD of SMC was decreased. Statistic analysis showed significant difference in the 2 week group compared with other group. Conclusion Following the increase in the degree of stenosis, the flow shear stress is increased, turbulent flow presents, and flow field changes on the stenotic artery. Thus the plaque become unstable , and the vessel occurs remodeling.

objective To observe the influence of hemodynamic changes caused by extracranial carotid stenosis on the plaque stability, and analyze the relationship of cerebral infarction classification,criminal artery stenosis degree and plaque stability to offer evidence for evalu-ating nosogenesis,clinical diagnosis,treatment and prevention of cerebral infarction. Methods CDFI,CTA were performed in 168 patients with acute cerebral infarction,some moderate and severe and occlusive carotid artery which were demonstrated by CTA and CDFI were further checked by DSA during convalescence. Totally 168 acute cerebral infarction patients were divided into 5 groups based on the criminal artery stenosis degree. To evaluate the plaque stability and flow field changes with CDFI and CTA,OCSP clinical classification and brain image clas-sification were finished according to CTA. Patients were classified into 4 subtypes,namely cortical infarction,basal ganglion infarction,corona radiata infarction and posterior infarction,according to the lesion distributions. Observe the changes of flow field and stability of plaque,and compare the relationship between different degree of stenosis and the classification of lesion of infarction. Results Among the 168 criminal arteries,there was 17. 9% of normal,22. 6% of mild stenosis,30. 9% of moderate stenosis,14. 8% of severe stenosis,and 14. 3% of occlu-sion,and the moderate stenosis proportion was the highest. When the stenosis degree was over 50%,it may lead to the changes of flow field, speeding up of blood flow,forming of turbulent flow,and increasing of plaque instability in which lipid plaque and admixture plaque was the highest. PACI is the commonest in all moderate groups. Admixture plaque is usually seen in severe stenosis and occlusion, while fibrous plaque is usually seen in mild stenosis. Conclusion Moderate carotid stenosis may lead to the increase of plaque instability as a result of the changes of flow field,and it may prone to artery-artery embolization.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous kyphoplasty is the main treatment for senile osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, but increasing number of patients who have not been treated with anti-osteoporosis therapy after operation develop secondary fractures due to decreased bone mineral density and changes of stress. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of consecutive 2-year zoledronic acid treatment following percutaneous kyphoplasty for preventing secondary vertebral fracture. METHODS: 186 elderly patients with thoracolumbar compressive fractures were divided into experimental (n=84) and control (n=102) groups based on their willingness to receive zoledronic acid treatment or not after percutaneous kyphoplasty. The experimental group was treated with calcium and alfacalcidol fololwed by 2 years of zoledronic acid treatment, while only calcium and alfacalcidol treatment was done in the control group. The bone mineral density, pain and function were respectively assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index, and the number of refractures was calculated at baseline and at the 2nd year after the second injection of zoledronic acid. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bone mineral density, visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index scores at 2 years after treatment in both two groups were significantly superior to those at baseline (P < 0.05). The number of refractures in the experimental group (n=1) was significantly less than that in the control group (n=9) (P < 0.05). These results suggest that zoledronic acid can prevent secondary fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty in the elderly with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, improve long-term function and clinical effectiveness.
