Objective To determine the affected factors of intraorbital hemodynamic results in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and the risk factors related to the occurrence of DR. Methods Posterior ciliary artery (PCA), central retinal artery (CRA), central retinal vein (CRV), and vortex vein (VV) of 68 patients with DR were measured by color Doppler flow image (CDFI). Thirty-one hemodynamic parameters, including systolic velocity, diastolic velocity, mean velocity, resistive index, pulsatility index and accelerative velocity of ophthalmic artery (OA), and other variates (blood pressure, blood sugar, gender, age, duration of the disease, and so on) were collected and clustered in a principal components analys is following a forward, stepwise logistic regression on these components. Results Nine principal components were extracted from 37 original variates, reflecting the velocity of OA, velocity of PCA, resistance of OA, velocity of CRA,resistance of CRA, resistance of PCA, time-related factor, venous drainage factor and gender factor, respectively. In the result of logistic regression, resistance of OA, velocity of CRA, resistance of PCA, time-related factor, and venous drainage factor were the risk factors related to DR. Conclusion The first risk factor affecting DR is time, and intraorbital hemodynamic abnormity influencing the development of diabetic retinopathy may be the increase of resistance of OA, decrease of velocity of CRA, decrease of resistance of PCA, and increase of venous drainage.

Objective To explore the value of color Doppler ultrasonography and plasma D-dimer in diagnosis of lower limb deep venous thrombosis (DVT).Methods The clinical data of 70 cases of patients with lower limb DVT diagnosed clinically were retrospectively studied. The lower limb venous of each patient was examined by color Doppler ultrasonography and the plasma level of D-dimer were measured, furthermore the plasma levels of D-dimer in different phase and different type of thrombosis were compared. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of plasma D-dimer and ultrasonography examination in lower limb DVT were 100%, 66.7%, 97.0%, 100%, and 97.1%, and 98.4%, 83.3%, 98.4%, 83.3%, and 97.1%, respectively. The plasma D-dimer in acute phase 〔(6 451±4 012.22) μg/L〕 and subacute phase 〔(2 063±1831.35) μg/L〕 of lower limb venous thrombosis were significantly higher than that in normal control group 〔(310±66.70) μg/L〕, Plt;0.01 and Plt;0.05, which was not different from that in chronic phase 〔(466±350.52) μg/L〕. Meanwhile, the plasma D-dimer in mixed limb venous thrombosis group 〔(4 464±3 753.16) μg/L〕 and central limb venous thrombosis group 〔(2 149±1 911.53) μg/L〕 were significantly higher than that in control group (Plt;0.05 and Plt;0.01), which was not different from that in peripheral limb venous thrombosis group 〔(560±315.62) μg/L〕. Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography is an optimal method and the plasma D-dimer is a predictive index in diagnosis of lower limb DVT.
In order to investigate the mechanism of blood supply to the delayed separated skin flap and the time and criteria for its transfer, 5 smallsized Banna pigs were selected to produce 14 skin flaps. In the experimental group the skin flap on one side was made from the middle of the back having an extrathin steel sheet intervened between the flap and the soft tissue of the back whereas the flap on the opposite side without a steel sheet intervened was served as the selfcontrol. The skin flaps were examined 3,7,10 and 20 days after the operation and 3,7 and 10 days after transfer, respectively, by (1) gross observation; (2) ultrasonic Doppler; (3) superficial skin temperature measurement and; (4) histomorphological examination. In the experimentalgroup the survival rate of the flap was 100 percent whereas in the control group all of the flaps had necrosis from 30 to 50 percent after the flap being transfered. In the experimental group, the echo sound from the arterial blood flow from ultrasonic Doppler was heard at the pedicle 7 days after the operation, and as time elapsed, the echo sound spread distally, whereas in the controls no echo sound could be heard over the skin flap. There was significant difference statistically between the experimental and control groups in the temperature of the flaps while the flaps were being transferred (P lt; 0.01). The external diameters of the blood vessels in the central area of the skin flap were larger in the experimental group, 0.8 to l.2mm in comparison to 0.4mm.

Objective To analyze features of color Doppler ultrasonography in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Method The ultrasound images of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (51 cases) and gastrointestinal cancers (59 cases) confirmed by operation and pathology were compared and analyzed. Results The gastric stromal tumor mainly occurred at the bottom of the stomach and the body of the stomach (17 cases), the intestinal stromal tumor mainly occurred at the small intestine (24 cases). The gastric cancer mainly occurred at the gastric antrum (18 cases), the intestinal cancer all occurred at the colon (20 cases) and rectum (12 cases). Compared with the gastrointestinal cancers, the gastrointestinal cavity was not surrounded by tumor, the peripheral boundary was clear, the morphology was more regular, the internal echo was uneven, and there was no peripheral lymph node metastasis in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the degree of blood flow and tumor diameter between the gastrointestinal stromal tumors and the gastrointestinal cancers (P>0.05), but the blood flow of the intestinal stromal tumor was significantly more abundant as compared with the intestinal cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography, as a simple and rapid method, has a certain diagnostic value for differentiation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors and gastrointestinal cancers.
Objective To study the hemodynamic characteristics of concealed perforator flap in mini-pigs by ultrasonic Doppler technique. Methods Seven 7-month-old mini-pigs, weighing 20-25 kg, were included in the study. The saphenous artery perforator flap (group A, n=4), saphenous artery concealed perforator flap (group B, n=5), and saphenous artery concealed perforator flap combined with sarcolemma (group C, n=5) models were established randomly on both hind limbs of pigs. The pigs and flap survival conditions were observed after operation. The percentage of flap survival area was calculated by Photoshop CS5 software at 5 days after operation. Ultrasonic Doppler technique was performed on the flaps before operation and at immediate, 3 days, and 5 days after operation to record the hemodynamic changes of the flaps. The hemodynamic indicators of saphenous artery (inner diameter, peak systoli velocity, resistance index, and blood flow) and saphenous vein (inner diameter, maximum velocity, and blood flow) were recorded. Results At 1 day after operation, 1 pig died of infection, and the rest survived until the experiment was completed. Finally, the 3 flaps of group A, 4 of group B, and 5 of group C were included in the study. The flaps of the 3 groups all showed swelling after operation, which was most significant at 3 days. At 3 days after operation, the flaps in group B showed partial bruising and necrosis. At 5 days after operation, the flaps in groups A and C were basically alive, and the necrosis area of flap in group B increased further. The percentage of flap survival area in groups A, B, and C were 99.7%±0.5%, 74.8%±26.4%, and 100%, respectively. The percentage of flap was significantly lower in group B than in groups A and C (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups A and C (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the hemodynamic indicators of saphenous artery and vein between different time points in 3 groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in each indicator between groups at each time point (P>0.05). Conclusion Both the saphenous artery concealed perforator flap and the flap combined with sarcolemma have stable blood flow, but the survival area of the latter was better than the former.
