Objective To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced three-dimensional ultrasound in assessing neovascularization within carotid soft plaques. Methods Thirty-six cases with 42 soft plaques were examined with contrast-enhanced two dimensional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced three dimensional ultrasound. Soft plaques were divided into four grades according to distribution and shape of contrast media:grade Ⅰ (there was no enhancement in plaque) , grade Ⅱ (plaque was enhanced with sparse spots pattern or enhanced in small range locally), grade Ⅲ (plaque was enhanced with sparse spots and short-line pattern ),grade Ⅳ (plaque was enhanced with line and grid pattern). Results The results of contrast-enhanced two-dimensional ultrasound were as followed: 4.8% grade Ⅰ , 35.7% grade Ⅱ , 52.4% grade Ⅲ and 7.1% grade Ⅳ. The results of contrast-enhanced three-dimensional ultrasound were as followed:9.5% grade Ⅱ , 47.6% grade Ⅲ and 42.9% grade Ⅳ. Conclusions Spatial distribution of neovascularization within carotid soft plaques could be reflected comprehensively by contrast-enhanced three dimensional ultrasound, and it might be a new mothod to investigate spatial structure and microvascular perfusion of soft plaques furtherly.

Objective: To determine the pharmacokinetics of ephedrine hydrochloride in rats after intragastric administration of Shegan mixtures. Methods:Shegan mixtures (1. 0 ml/100 g) were administered to each rat by gavage. Blood samples were collected after the administration. Plasma concentration of ephedrine hydrochloride was determined by LC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parame-ters of ephedrine hydrochloride were obtained using the pharmacokinetic software. Urine and fecal samples were collected in 24 hours after the administration using metabolic cage to determine the recovery of ephedrine hydrochloride. Results: The pharmacokinetic pa-rameters of ephedrine hydrochloride were as follows:Tmax of (1. 30 ± 0. 23)h,T1/2 of (21. 17 ± 1. 35)h, Cmax of (278. 86 ± 46. 41)ng ·ml-1,AUC0~∞ of (1221.98 ±412.64)ng·ml-1 and Vc/F of (1.70 ±0.15)L. Totally 85.66% ephedrine hydrochloride could be recovered from urine in 24 hours after the administration;however, it was not detected in the fecal samples. Conclusion: Most of e-phedrine hydrochloride is excreted through kidney in 24h,therefore, Shegan mixtures can't cause the accumulation of ephedrine hydro-chloride in rats.
