应用深度增强型成像技术研究早期年龄相关性黄斑变性患者黄斑区脉络膜厚度的变化

目的应用深度增强型相干光断层扫描(EDI-OCT)技术研究早期年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)患者黄斑区脉络膜厚度的变化及其与AMD发病的关系。 方法收集2015年3月至2017年3月于中国康复研究中心北京博爱医院眼科就诊的早期AMD患者90例(90只眼)和眼底正常者60例(60只眼)的临床资料。早期AMD患者为患者组,眼底正常者为正常组。患者组中男性51例(51只眼),女性39例(39只眼);年龄63~85岁,平均年龄(74.3±10.9)岁。正常组中男性24例(24只眼),女性36例(36只眼);年龄58~78岁,平均年龄(68.6±10.8)岁。采用EDI-OCT测量两组受试者黄斑中心凹处及由中心凹向鼻侧、颞侧各500 μm、1000 μm处的脉络膜厚度,共测量5个点位。数据以均数±标准差( ±s)表示。两组间脉络膜厚度的比较采用t检验,多组间比较采用单因素方差分析,组间两两比较采用Tukey检验。 结果患者组黄斑区脉络膜的平均厚度为(254.84±51.46)μm;正常组黄斑区脉络膜的平均厚度为(271.46±43.36)μm。患者组黄斑区脉络膜的厚度较正常组低,且两组间差异有统计学意义(t＝-2.061,P<0.05)。所有受试者的年龄与脉络膜的厚度呈负相关,且差异有统计学意义(r＝-0.23,P<0.05)。 结论早期AMD患者的脉络膜厚度较眼底正常者偏薄,且早期AMD患者脉络膜厚度的改变可作为黄斑变性发展的预警因素,能为早期的临床干预提供参考。     

Ultrasound evaluation of the quadriceps muscles in pronated foot posture

ObjectiveThe main goal of this study was to investigate the size of all portions of the quadriceps muscles in individuals with pronated foot posture compared to normal foot posture using ultrasound imaging.DesignTwenty nine females with pronated foot posture and 29 age-, body weight-, body height-matched females with normal foot posture were recruited from university communities. The muscle thicknesses of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis (VM), vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus intermedius (VI) were measured using ultrasound imaging.ResultsThe thicknesses of the RF and VMO were significantly smaller in individuals with pronated foot posture compared to normal foot posture (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the VM, VL, and VI muscle thicknesses in both groups.ConclusionBased on the results of the present study, it seems that besides the foot and lower leg muscles, an integrated assessment of proximal knee muscles, especially quadriceps, is required in individuals with pronated foot posture.     

Prévalence et facteurs déterminants de l’épaisseur intima-media carotidienne élevée dans une population de 1203 hypertendus noirs africains

ObjectivesTo evaluate the prevalence and determinants of increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in a population of black hypertensive patients and it influence of on the assessment of their overall cardiovascular risk.Patients and methodsThis was a 16-month, cross-sectional study conducted in the outpatient unit of the cardiology department of the Campus teaching hospital of Lome, and included 1203 hypertensive patients, both sexes, aged 35 years and more. Each patient benefited from a carotid IMT measure. Carotid IMT was increased if it was > 0.9 mm and the plaque was defined as a carotid IMT > 1.2 mm.ResultsThe mean age of our patients was 53.3 ± 10.4 years with a sex ratio of 1.6 in favor of women. The duration of hypertension was less than 5 years in 56.7% and hypertension was grade 1 in 47.7% of cases. The mean carotid IMT was 0.89 mm ± 0.20. The prevalence of the increased carotid IMT was 45.8% and that of an atheroma plaque was 15.8%. Carotid IMT was correlated with age (P ˂ 0.0001), duration of arterial hypertension (P = 0.01), history of stroke (P ˂ 0.0001), and presence of left ventricular hypertrophy to cardiac ultrasound (P = 0.01). The overall cardiovascular risk was modified after taking into account the carotid IMT. An increase in cardiovascular risk was observed in 30.5% of hypertensive patients.ConclusionIncreased carotid intima-media thickness is frequent in Togolese hypertension. The determining factors are age, duration of arterial hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and stroke. The systematic measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness would better evaluate the overall cardiovascular risk for our patients.

Aortic Intima-Media Thickness and Mean Platelet Volume in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Background:

Diabetes mellitus type 1 is the most common endocrine metabolic disorder occurring in childhood and adolescence due to the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells as a result of various environmental factors interacting with an underlying genetic predisposition. Diabetes is a risk factor for early onset atherosclerosis, and the high mortality rate seen in these patients is partially related to cardiovascular diseases.

Objectives:

This study was conducted to compare mean platelet volume as a marker of early atherosclerosis with aortic intima-media thickness in children with type 1 diabetes and to identify its correlation with known cardiovascular risk factors.

Patients and Methods:

The study included 27 patients between age range of 6 and 17 years that were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and 30 healthy children of the same age range who did not have any chronic disease. In both groups, we used the color Doppler ultrasound to measure children’s aortic intima-media thickness and identify their mean platelet volumes.

Results:

There was no significant difference between the groups regarding gender distribution, age, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels (P > 0.05). Also no significant difference could be documented between the patient and control groups regarding the aortic intima-media thickness and mean platelet volume (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant correlation between aortic intima-media thickness and mean platelet volume (r = 0.351; P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

In the present study, there was no evidence of early atherosclerosis in children with type 1 diabetes. However, mean platelet volume having a significant correlation with aortic intima-media thickness may be useful as an early marker of atherosclerosis.     

2型糖尿病患者脂蛋白亚组份与颈动脉内膜中层厚度的相关性分析

目的研究2型糖尿病患者脂蛋白各亚组份与颈动脉内膜中层厚度的关系。方法采用超速离心及高效液相色谱法测定55例2型糖尿病患者的血清脂蛋白亚组份,根据超声检测颈动脉内膜中层厚度分为有、无病变组,分析其与脂蛋白亚组份之间的关系。结果(1)有病变组的年龄高于无病变组(P<0.05)。(2)有病变组脂蛋白(a)水平高于无病变组。其余脂蛋白及其亚型组间差异无统计学意义。(3)调整年龄、性别、体质指数后,颈动脉内膜中层增厚分别与脂蛋白(a)和B型低密度脂蛋白呈正相关;脂蛋白(a)与低密度脂蛋白呈正相关;甘油三酯分别与空腹血糖、B型低密度脂蛋白呈正相关,与高密度脂蛋白、高密度脂蛋白2和A型低密度脂蛋白呈负相关(P<0.05)。以有病变、无病变为因变量进行多因素Logistic回归分析发现,年龄、脂蛋白(a)水平升高是2型糖尿病患者颈动脉内膜中层增厚的独立危险因素(P<0.001和P=0.021)。结论脂蛋白(a)可能是2型糖尿病患者早期动脉粥样硬化的危险预测指标。     

老年人脉压指数与颈动脉内膜中层厚度的关系

为了研究脉压指数与颈动脉内膜中层厚度的关系 ,对 334例老年人行颈动脉内膜中层厚度超声检测并进行测压 ,分别以脉压≤ 6 0mmHg、6 1～ 80mmHg、81～ 10 0mmHg及 >10 0mmHg和脉压指数≤ 0 .4 0 0、0 .4 0 1～ 0 .5 0 0、0 .5 0 1～ 0 .6 0 0及 >0 .6 0 0分为四个亚组进行分析。结果发现 ,随着脉压和脉压指数的增加 ,颈动脉内膜中层厚度和收缩压均随之增加 ,脉压指数组舒张压进行性下降 ;Spearman’s相关分析发现 ,颈动脉内膜中层厚度与脉压指数相关性最佳 ;多元逐步回归分析显示 ,颈动脉内膜中层厚度仅与脉压指数、年龄具有显著回归效果 ,脉压指数的标准回归系数远大于年龄。结果提示 ,在老年人中脉压指数评价血管硬化比脉压有一定的优越性     

The effects of eye coordination during deep cervical flexor training on the thickness of the cervical flexors

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify changes in the thicknesses of the cervical flexors according to eye coordination during deep cervical flexor training. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty normal adults were randomly selected, and during their deep cervical flexor training and eye tracking, the thicknesses of the longus colli and the sternocleidomastoid were measured using ultrasonic waves. [Results] The thickness of the longus colli statistically significantly increased when deep cervical flexor training and eye coordination were performed simultaneously. However, the thickness of the sternocleidomastoid did not show statistically significant differences according to eye coordination. [Conclusion] Eye coordination during deep cervical flexor training is likely to increase the thickness of the longus colli selectively.
