Objective:
To explore the mechanism and influencing factors of mirror-image artifact of color blood flow (MACBF) due to longitudinal strong echo big interface (LSEBI).
Methods:
Fifty suspicious patients with MACBF beside the main pulmonary artery and/or the left pulmonary artery undergoing echocardiography examination from November 2018 to April 2019 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were chosen as the subjects. Image characteristics of the MACBF were observed, and mechanism and influence factors of the MACBF were explored with Doppler imaging principle.
Results:
Of all the subjects with MACBF, 36 subjects occurred only on the left side of the main pulmonary artery, 14 subjects occurred on both the left side of the main pulmonary artery and the left pulmonary artery. The LSEBI was found between the real color blood flow (RCBF) and the MACBF, there was a mirror relationship between the RCBF and the MACBF. The LSEBI on the left of the main pulmonary artery and the left pulmonary artery were the interface of the left lung and pleural. The signal strength of MACBF enhanced as the distance between the blood flow and the LSEBI got closer or the gain of the color blood flow got bigger.
Conclusions
MACBF may caused by LSEBI beside vessel. The formation of MACBF and its signal strength are influenced by the distance between blood flow and LSEBI and the gain of the color blood flow.

Objective:To investigate the value of superb micro-vascular imaging (SMI) in evaluating carotid neovascularization in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA).Methods:SMI was used to analyze the wall thickness and neovascularization in a total of 38 common carotid arteries in 23 patients with TA diagnosed in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, and the results were compared with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).Results:SMI could clearly show the thickening wall of the common carotid artery in TA patients, and could show very tiny blood flow channels in the thickening wall. Neovascularization was detected in a total of 34 common carotid arteries by SMI, 23 of which showed 1 point of score with scattered low-velocity blood flow and the rest of which showed 2 points of score with diffused spots or strips with low-velocity blood flow. Correspondingly, neovascularization was detected in a total of 34 common carotid artery by CEUS, 22 of which showed 1 point of score and the rest of which showed 2 points of score. The scores of the two groups were consistent ( Kappa=0.641, P<0.01). Conclusions:SMI can be used as one of the important screening methods for neovascularization assessment in thickened carotid wall in patients with TA, which shows potential application value in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for TA patients.

Objective:To explore the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification and serum cell division cycle 42 (CDC-42) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the influencing factors of them.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Blood Purification Center of Qingdao Municipal Hospital,112 patients who underwent MHD for more than 6 months from October 2019 to March 2021 were selected. The abdominal aortic calcification score (ACCs) was calculated by reference to the abdominal lateral X flat tablets. According to AACS, 50 cases were divided into no and mild calcification group (0≤AACS<5 points) and 62 cases were divided into moderate and severe calcification group (AACS≥5 points). The level of serum CDC-42 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Taking the median serum CDC-42 level as the boundary, 56 cases were divided into low CDC-42 group and high CDC-42 group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between indicators. The risk factors of elevated CDC-42 and abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the variables were included by entry method.Results:In 112 patients, 91 cases (81.25%, 91/112) had abdominal aortic calcification, and the median serum CDC-42 level was 466.56 (335.56,623.57) ng/L. CDC-42, AACs, age, dialysis age, diabetic nephropathy, glycosylated hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone and calcium in the no and mild calcification groups were 347.77 (291.20, 419.53) ng/L, 1.00 (0.00, 3.00) points, (57.18±6.25) years, 31.50 (15.00, 49.25) months, 34.00%(17/50), (6.63±0.97)%, 116.22 (87.32, 152.13) U/L, 258.57 (143.40, 433.31) ng/L, (2.18±0.26) mmol/L, and in the moderate to severe calcification group were 602.69 (489.61, 762.73) ng/L, 10.00 (7.00, 16.25) points, (60.81±7.12) years, 49.00 (18.00, 67.00) months, 53.23%(33/62), (7.07±1.20)%, 144.34 (99.71, 201.76) U/L, 336.57 (230.63, 506.00) ng/L,(2.28±0.26) mmol/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups(The statistical values were 6.99, 9.11, 2.83, 2.45, 4.14, 2.08, 2.04, 2.16 and 1.99, respectively, all P<0.05). CDC-42, AACs, glycosylated hemoglobin and parathormone in the low CDC-42 group were 336.50 (295.10, 395.25) ng/L, 2.00 (0.00, 4.00) points, (6.62±1.06) %, 250.60 (140.20, 462.02) ng/L,and in the high CDC-42 group were 622.92 (558.11, 836.65) ng/L, 10.00 (6.25, 15.75) points, (7.13±1.13) %, 347.21 (240.40,501.20) ng/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (The statistical values are 6.51, 5.21, 2.43 and 2.54, respectively,all P<0.05). Abdominal aortic calcification has positive correlations with CDC-42 ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.308, P=0.001), dialysis years ( r s=0.198, P=0.036), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.358, P<0.001), alkaline phosphatase ( r s=0.187, P=0.048), parathormone ( r s=0.437, P<0.001), serum calciu m( r s=0.323, P=0.001) and serum phospho-rus ( r s=0.251, P=0.007), and negative correlation with serum albumin( r s=-0.276, P=0.003). This study has confirmed that high serum CDC-42 ( OR=1.010, 95%CI:1.004-1.016, P=0.001) and senior dialysis age ( OR=1.033, 95%CI:1.006-1.061, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for moderate to severe abdominal aortic calcification.Serum CDC-42 levels has positive correlation with AACs ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.240, P=0.011), dialysis age ( r s=0.191, P=0.044), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.350, P<0.001), parathormone ( r s=0.380, P<0.001) and serum calcium ( r s=0.235, P=0.013). This study learned that,high AACs ( OR=1.185, 95%CI:1.037-1.354, P=0.013) and high parathormone ( OR=1.005, 95%CI:1.001-1.009, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for high CDC-42. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) of serum CDC-42 in predicting moderate and severe abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was 0.885. When the cut-off point was 466.56 ng/L, the predictive sensitivity and specificity were 79% and 86% respectively. Conclusion:The degree of abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was positively correlated with the level of serum CDC-42. High serum CDC-42 and high dialysis age were independent risk factors for abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients. High AACS and high parathyroid hormone were independent risk factors for the increase of serum CDC-42 in MHD patients .

Objective:To overcome the disadvantages of bismuth removal by bismuth sulfide precipitation method recommended by existing analytical standards and improve the quality of analytical result.Methods:Based on 201×7 anion exchange resin, the experimental process of bismuth removal was designed, and verified by using spiked samples and IAEA test samples.Results:Bismuth was removed by anion exchange resin. In the removal experiments of strontium, yttrium and bismuth, the chemical recovery rate of strontium and yttrium could reach (98.6 ± 0.8)% and (98.5 ± 0.7)%, respectively, with no Bi 2S 3 precipitation found. The relative standard deviation between analytical result and theoretical values was -2.97% to 5.94%, better than 3.96%-17.8% by the standard bismuth removal method. Through validation using IAEA test samples, the relative standard deviation between the reported value and the target value for 90Sr was between 3.40%-7.09%, and all the results were acceptable. Conclusions:Bismuth could be quantitatively removed using anion exchange resin without adsorption of strontium and yttrium. In addition, the bismuth removal solution system of anion exchange resin was the same as the elution system in 90Sr analysis, and the purpose of rapid bismuth removal could be achieved without conversion system. Compared with the current standard analytical method, it was feasible and better to quantitatively remove bismuth based on anion exchange resin, which could meet the needs of routine analysis of 90Sr.

Objective To analyze the clinical,radiological features and risk factors of diplopia in patients with acute lacunar infarction (ALI).Methods Retrospectively retrieved patients of ALI (lesion diameter was less than 1.5 cm in DWI sequence)diagnosed by MR and clinical.We further summarized 13 ALI patients with diplopia and randomly selected 13 ALI patients without diplopia as the control group. SPSS22.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis.The general clinical data such as sex and age was compared by Ch-i square test and t-test.The risk factors were primarily analyzed by one-way ANOVA and then the risk factors with statistical significance were brought into the logistic regression model for multivariate analysis.Results The incidence of diplopia in ALI patients was about 2.7%(13/489). The infarct sites were all located in the brain stem of the oculomotor-related brain nucleus and the dorsolateral medulla oblongata.Hypertension and hematocrit were negatively correlated with diplopia after infarction (P<0.05 ).Conclusion The incidence of diplopia is low in ALI patients.The medial longitudinal tract of the dorsolateral medulla is an important area causing diplopia.Hypertension and hematocrit are non-risk factors for diplopia after ALI.

Objective:To explore the effects of phased goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) during anesthesia surgery on tissue perfusion and cognitive function in patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery.Methods:A total of 108 lung cancer patients were prospectively selected and randomly divided into a control group and a study group using a random number table method. The control group received classical restrictive liquid therapy, while the study group received staged GDFT. We compared the surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, colloid fluid dosage, crystalloid fluid dosage, total output, and urine volume between two groups of patients; Two groups of patients were compared in terms of oxygenation index (OI), respiratory index (RI), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2), lactate (Lac), central venous arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pcv-aCO 2), oxygen supply index (DO 2I), and oxygen uptake rate (O 2ERe) before anesthesia induction (T 0), before single lung ventilation (T 1), 1 hour of single lung ventilation (T 2), immediate resumption of dual lung ventilation (T 3), 30 minutes of dual lung ventilation (T 4), and after surgery (T 5); The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive function scores of two groups of patients 1 day before surgery and 1 and 3 days after surgery, while recording the incidence of cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and pulmonary complications (including pulmonary infection, acute lung injury, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, atelectasis, etc.) within 3 days after surgery. Results:The amount of crystal fluid and urine output in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the amount of colloidal fluid was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The OI of the study group T 1-T 5 was significantly higher than that of the control group, while the RI of T 2-T 5 was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The ScvO 2 of the study group T 1 to T 5 was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the Lac was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05); The MMSE scores of both groups of patients were significantly lower than those before surgery on day 1 and 3 after surgery, and the MMSE scores of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group on day 1 and 3 after surgery (all P<0.05). The incidence of POCD within 3 days after surgery in the study group was 16.67%(9/54), lower than 37.04%(20/54) in the control group (χ 2=5.704, P=0.017); The incidence of pulmonary complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group (5.56% vs 22.22%, χ 2=4.955, P=0.026). Conclusions:The application of staged GDFT during anesthesia in patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery can further improve tissue perfusion, improve microcirculation and oxygen supply-demand balance of systemic organs and tissues, including the brain, alleviate perioperative brain function damage, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative POCD compared to conventional liquid therapy.
