Pulsatility and resistance indices in intrarenal arteries of normal adults

In order to establish the normal range of values of Pulsatility (PI) and Resistance (RI) Indices in the intrarenal vasculature, a study of 50 healthy volunteers (23 males, 27 females), divided into five groups of 10 according to age, was performed with Duplex Doppler ultrasound. Both kidneys were examined in all individuals and, in 12, indices were also compared between upper and lower poles of both kidneys. In addition, repeat examinations were performed in nine subjects on three different days, in order to assess the reproducibility of the method. No differences were found in the mean values of both indices between males and females, upper and lower poles, right and left kidneys. A statistically significant increase (p < 0.01, unpaired t-test) was demonstrated when the oldest age group (7th decade) was compared to the youngest age group (3rd decade). The method appeared remarkably reproducible for RI (4.2–7%), with wider variation in the PI (9.5–22.7%).     

肿胀法外超声吸脂术的组织学研究

目的 观察外超声能量作用于活体组织后的组织学变化，以探索其作用机制。方法 对3只家猪腹部两侧进行外超声与非超声比较，作用不同时间后在光镜和电镜下观察其皮肤组织全层的变化。结果 在外超声作用18min内，随着作用时间的延长，猪的皮下脂肪组织和生物大分子结构的破坏程度不断加重，脂肪组织中产生的空泡不断增大而皮肤组织及血管无明显变化。结论 外超声吸脂术可通过稳定的空泡效应选择性地使脂肪细胞结构发生不可逆的坏死性改变，这一改变与作用时间成正比。     

Post-prandial cardiovascular responses in man after ingestion of carbohydrate,protein or fat

Changes in cardiac output and in superior mesenteric arterial flow were followed with Doppler ultrasound techniques in five young, healthy persons for 2 h after ingestion of medium-sized (4 MJ), fluid meals containing either carbohydrate, protein, fat or water only. Measurements were carried out before meals and at regular post-meal intervals, during which mean arterial blood pressure was also followed. All energy-containing meals caused marked and gradually developing post-prandial increases in cardiac output as well as in superior mesenteric arterial flow. The maximum flow levels were reached in the course of 30–60 min and maintained until the observations ended after 2 h. The intake of water caused no such flow increases. There were considerable interpersonal variations in the size and in the speed of development of the flow increases after the three types of energy-containing meals. The flow-increasing effects of the three meal types were not significantly different, even if the most marked increases (median values about 1 1 min^-1 for both cardiac output and superior mesenteric arterial flow) occurred after carbohydrate meals. The marked effects on circulation of the three food components were also revealed in the calculated, integrated amounts of ‘extra’ cardiac output and superior mesenteric arterial flow observed in the course of the 2 h following the meal. Values of more than 100 1 for such ‘extra’ flows were seen after carbohydrate meals. The marked ingestion-released increase in blood flow to the splanchnic organs is apparently partly met by an increase in cardiac output, and partly by some redistribution of flow, which benefits the digestive system.

目的:探讨经腹超声及术中超声在胰腺结石诊断、治疗中的价值。材料和方法:对25例胰腺结石患者行经腹和术中超声检查。经腹超声主要观察胰管扩张程度,胰腺结石大小、位置,是否合并胆囊及胆道结石、胰腺假性囊肿等。术中超声观察是否有结石残留。结果:经腹超声显示25例患者主胰管扩张,胰腺实质增粗、增强。结石位于头部9例,位于全胰腺16例,伴有胆道梗阻征象13例,其中合并胆囊及胆道结石8例,并发胰腺假性囊肿3例,合并胰腺癌2例;术中超声形式显示6例未见残留结石,19例有残留结石,手术取出残留结石24枚。结论:经腹超声诊断主胰腺管结石敏感性较高,术中超声在判断残留结石及鉴别胰小管结石与胰腺实质钙化灶方面具有重要价值。     

The effect of central corneal thickness on estimates of the anterior chamber depth

Background: The slitlamp can be used to estimate the anterior chamber depth (ACD). The length of a slit object is increased until the corneal and iris/lens images appear to just touch. Multiplying the just‐touching‐slit‐length (JTSL) by a conversion factor gives an estimate of the ACD as measured by ultrasonography. The purpose of this study was to determine if central corneal thickness (CCT) affects the accuracy of this technique. Methods: The ACD of 50 subjects was measured by A‐scan ultrasonography and estimated by the slitlamp technique. CCT was measured by ultrasonic pachometry. The refractive error was determined subjectively. Results: The average ultrasonographic ACD for all subjects was 3.32 ± 0.65 mm. The average JTSL was 2.46 ± 0.38 mm. The conversion ratio between the ultrasonographic ACD and the average JTSL was 1.35. The predicted ACD using the regression equation of JTSL on the ultrasound anterior chamber depth (USACD) was 3.32 ± 0.54 mm. The corresponding value using the regression equation of JTSL and CCT on USACD was exactly the same, that is, 3.32 ± 0.54 mm. Conclusion: Incorporation of CCT into a regression equation does not improve the accuracy of the Smith technique.

目的 探讨高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)所致的大鼠急性肝损伤后血清炎性因子水平的变化及乌司他丁(UTI)对其的保护效应.方法 建立高强度聚焦超声致大鼠急性肝损伤模型,Wistar大鼠24只随机均分为单纯高强度聚焦超声致伤组(H组)、乌司他丁处理组(U组)和空白对照组(D组).在致伤后1、3、6、12和24h分别检测三组血清中白细胞介素-2(IL-2)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)三种炎性细胞因子的含量.结果 与D组比较,H组致伤3h后IL-2和TNF-α开始明显升高,并分别于致伤后6h和12h达到峰值.U组IL-2和TNF-α升高幅度明显低于H组(P<0.01),且于致伤后24h基本恢复正常,而IL-10水平显著高于H组.结论 高强度聚焦超声致大鼠急性肝损伤后大鼠机体发生显著炎症反应,乌司他丁能下调致炎因子水平,并可上调抑炎性因子水平,阻断炎症反应,显示出一定的保护效应,改善预后.
