Purpose To explore the value of direct CT venography (CTV) for the diagnosis of varicose veins of lower limb. Materials and methods Forty patients diagnosed as varicose veins of lower limbs were enrolled. 40 patients with 56 involved limbs underwent direct CTV examination, and their images were stratified and evaluated according to the severity and the scope of the disease. Main assessment:definition and scope of CT axial scans combined with volume rendering (VR) and maximum intensity projection for the display of the varicose veins; situation for the display of perforating veins, deep veins and iliac veins;diagnostic compliance between CTV and DSA. Results All of the 56 involved limbs underwent laser intra-cavity occlusion surgery, among them 7 cases with 11 limbs underwent venous angiography under DSA at the same time. In the evaluation of the VR, excellent proportion was 92.86%(52/56), moderate proportion was 7.14%(4/56). Among the deep veins, ratio of the imaging that was able to meet the diagnostic standard was 94.34%, 88.46%and 27.27%, respectively for calf vein, femoral vein and external iliac vein. The total demonstration rate of perforating veins was 98.21%(55/56). Diagnostic compliance between CTV and DSA was 100.00%. Conclusion Lower extremity direct CTV imaging is convenient and noninvasive for patients with varicose veins, with high compliance with DSA results, thus is significantly valuable for the guide of clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the value of the ultrasound contrast agent in conjunction with advanced contrast imaging techniques in the evaluation of the renal cortical perfusion. Methods The animal model was established with ligating renal artery to cause the renal cortical perfusion decrease of rabbits. Real-time harmonic gray scale imaging was performed to visualize the contrast enhancement of the renal cortex. After bolus injection of contrast agent SonoVue, dynamic image was observed and recorded during the first three minutes. According to the time-intensity curve (TIC), accelerating time (AT),Peak intensity (A), time to half of peak intensity (T), difference between peak and base (PBD), slope rate of the curve (β) and the product of A and β (A·β) were obtained before and after the renal artery operation. The t test and correlation analysis was used to examine the above parameters. Results Before the renal artery operation, renal cortex enhanced rapidly and obviously, the way of the enhancement was renal artery-cortex-pyramids. After ligation of renal artery, AT prolonged evidently (P<0.001), A decreased obviously (P<0.001), T obviously shortened (P<0.001), PBD decreased markedly (P<0.001), while the decline of βinduced (P<0.002) and A·βobvious dropped(P<0.001). AT, BPD and A·βcorrelated with stenosis level of renal artery. Compared with 31%-69% group, AT prolonged evidently (P<0.001). A decreased obviously (P<0.029), PBD decreased obviously (P<0.001), A·β was dropped markedly (P<0.02) in 70%-93% stenosis group. Conclusions Contrast agent combining with developed contrast specific imaging is able to detect changes of renal cortical microcirculation sensitively with the help of analysis of TIC.

Objective To observe the changes of cerebral blood flow velocities and carbon dioxide (CO_2) reactivity of cerebral vessels in children after cardiopulmonary resuscitation,and the relationship between the changes of cerebral blood flow and outcome.Methods The waveforms,cerebral blood flow velocities of left middle cerebral artery and extracranial internal carotid artery were monitored by Transcranial Doppler (TCD) in 35 post-resuscitation children. Glasgow coma score (GCS) was estimated at the same time.They were divided into three groups according to the diastolic blood flow velocities:low perfusion group,high perfusion group and near-normal perfusion group.CO_2 reactivity of cerebral vessels was induced by hyperventilation in 26 children under ventilation.Results In both low and high perfusion groups,GCS and CO_2 reactivity of cerebral vessels were significantly lower than that of near-normal perfusion group (P<0.05);the numbers of died and withdrawing treatment patients were significantly higher than that of near-normal perfusion group (P<0.01).Conclusion TCD monitoring is a useful technique for estimating cerebral perfusion,outcome and CO_2 reactivity of cerebral vessels of children after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.A secondary ischemic event may be caused by a forced hyperventilation therapy in the condition without TCD monitoring in post-resuscitation patients.
