Tim技术3D DCE-MRA诊断下肢动脉狭窄:与DSA对比研究

目的以数字减影血管造影（DSA）为金标准,对比评价Tim（total image matrix）技术三维动态增强磁共振血管成像（3DDCE-MRA）在下肢动脉（腘股段和腘下段）狭窄中的临床应用价值。资料与方法41例可疑下肢动脉狭窄患者,采用Tim线圈、多通道并行采集技术,并结合自动移床及无缝连接方法,行3DDCE-MRA检查。延迟时间采用试验团注（test-bolus）法,对靶血管作最大信号强度投影（MIP）后处理重组。所有病例均在1周内行动脉法DSA（IADSA）检查,对比分析3DDCE-MRA所示的轻度狭窄（≤50%）、显著狭窄（51%-99%）、完全闭塞（100%）的符合情况,并计算显示显著狭窄及完全闭塞的敏感性和特异性。结果图像质量的优良率为95.1%。与IADSA对照,3DDCE-MRA显示腘股动脉段显著狭窄及完全闭塞（狭窄程度〉50%）的敏感性91.1%,特异性92.9%,准确性92.3%;显示腘下动脉段的敏感性82.2%,特异性75.4%,准确性83.9%;显示下肢动脉狭窄总的准确性为87.5%。结论Tim线圈、多通道并行采集技术3DDCE-MRA是一种诊断下肢动脉狭窄的无创、安全、可靠、实用的血管检查方法,对腘股动脉段狭窄的诊断更加可靠,但对细小血管（尤其足部）的分辨率尚有待于进一步提高。     

单纯脑白质疏松症与皮质下动脉硬化性脑病的临床对比研究

目的探讨单纯脑白质疏松症(LA)和皮质下动脉硬化性脑病(BD)的临床表现、影像学及脑诱发电位的改变特征。方法(1)调查114例单纯脑白质疏松症患(LA组)和41例皮质下动脉硬化性脑病患(BD组)的发病危险因素和临床表现。(2)两组患均行CT检查，并按照脑白质异常程度分为3型。(3)LA组74例患，BD组35例患行MRI检查，根据T2WI显示的脑室周围高信号分为5型。(4)两组分别选择部分伴有高血压的患进行躯体感觉诱发电位(SEP)、脑干听觉诱发电位(BAEP)和视觉诱发电位(VEP)检查。结果(1)LA组患的危险因素呈多样化，无神经局灶体征，临床表现仅为轻度记忆力减退、步态不稳。CT显示脑白质异常以1型为主，占70．2％(80／114)；MRI脑白质异常也同样以1型为主，占71．6％(53／74)，均无脑室扩大。电生理学检查显示，SEP异常率为83．7％(36／43)，其中轻度60．5％，中度23．2％；BAEP异常率为62．8％(27／43)，潜伏期和峰间期延长；VEP异常率为53．5％(23／43)，各波潜伏期延长，均无波形消失。(2)BD组患危险因素以高血压为主(95．1％)，临床表现以神经局灶体征、明显认知功能障碍和卒中样发作为主。CT分型以3型多见，为73．2％(30／41)；MRI检查显示3型为54．3％(19／35)，4型45．7％(16／35)，41例患均有双侧脑室对称性扩大。电生理学检查显示，SEP异常率为96．7％(29／30)，其中轻度6．7％，中度46．7％，重度43．3％；BAEP异常率86．7％(26／30)，潜伏期和峰间期进一步延长，部分伴有Ⅲ、Ⅴ波缺失；VEP异常率为83．3％(25／30)，各波潜伏期进一步延长，部分P2单侧波形消失。结论单纯脑白质疏松症无特征性临床表现，诊断主要以影像学1型脑白质异常为依据；诱发电位表现为各波潜伏期延长，无波形完全缺失。皮质下动脉硬化性脑病的危险因素为高血压，临床有较明显的认知功能障碍，常见卒中样发作等特征，影像学检查CT显示3型脑白质异常，MRI显示3型或4型为诊断依据；诱发电位呈现各波潜伏期进一步延长并伴有部分波形完全缺失。

Technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy for the assessment of lower extremity ischaemia in peripheral arterial disease

Technetium-99m sestamibi was used for functional investigation of the muscle perfusion of lower extremities in 35 patients with peripheral vascular disease. The aim was to test what useful information could be obtained by additional imaging of the legs in patients referred for risk stratification with dipyridamole myocardial scanning. Posterior images were acquired over the thighs and calves after postocclusive reactive hyperaemia and at rest. Inter- and intraextremity ratios and differences between the stress and rest data were used for the assessment of abnormal circulation. Arteriography was performed in every case, and surgical procedures or transluminal angioplasty in 31 patients. To estimate diagnostic accuracy, the results of^99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy were compared with those of angiography and the functional consequences of revascularization procedures. The sensitivity and specificity of^99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy were 55% and 25%, respectively, with an overall accuracy of 50%. Apparently methodological error was not responsible for these poor results. Instead, a paradoxically high uptake of the radiopharmaceutical in muscles supplied by significantly stenosed vessels was identified as the main source of both false-negative and false-positive results. This phenomenon resembles the findings of a previous study involving delayed administration of thallium-201 after exercise. In conclusion,^99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy has not proved sufficiently reliable to help in the management strategy for patients with peripheral vascular disease.     

Correlation between the intensity of cytomegalovirus infection and the amount of perivasculitis in aortic allografts

Abstract  We previously demonstrated that cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection enhanced perivascular inflammation in rat aortic allografts. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the CMV infection load and the magnitude of perivasculitis (chronic rejection) in aortic transplants. Rats received or-thotopic abdominal aortic grafts, different degrees of total body irradiation (TBI) for immunosuppres-sion and CMV inoculation. The spleens of the rats receiving 5 Gy of TBI contained more infectious virus and viral antigens than those of rats receiving 3 Gy of TBI or no TBI. Although the number of inflammatory cells infiltrating the perivascular area was decreased after TBI, CMV infection resulted in increased perivasculitis in rats that received 5 Gy of TBI as compared to non-infected animals. This virus-induced effect was characterized predominantly by an increased T-cell infiltration, including CD4 and CD8 T-cells. It is concluded that an enhanced systemic CMV infection during severe immunosuppressive therapy can accelerate the development of chronic rejection, which seems to be mediated mainly by T-cells.

Free flap reconstruction of the lower extremity in the elderly

Summary Over a four year period, thirteen patients over the age of 60 (mean 69 years) underwent reconstruction of lower extremity defects with free tissue transfers. Ten latissimus dorsi, one tensor facia lata, and two rectus abdominus free flaps were used. Despite significant risk factors which included previous tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and angiographic vessel abnormalities, ten of thirteen cases had successful outcomes. There was one acute flap failure secondary to arterial thrombosis. Four flaps had delayed healing, with one patient eventually requiring amputation secondary to persistent pain and wound drainage. This experience demonstrates that free flap reconstruction of lower extremity defects in the elderly patient is a reasonable alternative to amputation when other options are limited.From the Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota, USA Requests for reprints: J.
