The quality inspection of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performance parameters is an important means to ensure the image quality and the reliability of diagnosis results. There are some problems in the manual calculation and eye recognition of the quality inspection parameters, such as strong subjectivity and low efficiency. In view of these facts, an automatic analysis system for MRI quality detection based on QT is proposed and implemented in C++ language. The image processing algorithm is introduced to automatically measure and calculate the quality inspection parameters. The software with comprehensive functions is designed to systematically manage the quality inspection information of MRI. The experimental results show that the automatically calculated parameters are consistent with the manually calculated ones. Accordingly, the accuracy and reliability of the algorithm is verified. The whole system is efficient, convenient and easy to operate, and it can meet the actual needs of MRI quality inspection.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of percutanous fixation with helical bridge combined fixation system (BCFS) for treatment of long split fractures involving the middle and upper humerus. Methods Between February 2018 and February 2020, 15 patients of long split fractures involving the middle and upper humerus were treated. There were 6 males and 9 females, with an average age of 62 years (range, 37-82 years). The fractures were caused by slipping in 7 cases, falling from height in 3 cases, and traffic accident in 5 cases. According to AO classification, the shaft fractures were rated as type A in 4 cases, type B in 9 cases, and type C in 2 cases. And all fractures extended to proximal humerus; and the proximal fractures were rated as one-part fracture in 11 cases and two-part fracture in 4 cases according to Neer classification. The interval between injury and operation was 1-7 days (mean, 3.2 days). Nine patients underwent closed reduction and 6 patients underwent open reduction after lengthening the incisions. All fractures were percutaneously internal fixated with helical BCFS after reduction. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incision healing, and fracture healing were recorded. Constant-Murley score was used to evaluate shoulder joint function, and Mayo score was used to evaluate elbow joint function. ResultsThe operation time ranged from 55 to 175 minutes, with an average of 76.5 minutes; the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 80 to 300 mL, with an average of 185.5 mL. All incisions healed by first intention, without infection or radial nerve injury. All patients were followed up 12-23 months, with an average of 16 months. The fractures all reached clinical healing, and the healing time was 12-20 weeks, with an average of 14.5 weeks. At 1 year after operation, the Constant-Murley score of the affected side was 88.7±7.6, and there was no significant difference when compared with that of the healthy side (90.8±8.3) (t=1.421, P=0.052). According to the elbow Mayo score, the score of the affected side was 97.6±6.5, and there was no significant difference when compared with the healthy side (97.7±7.3) (t=0.433, P=0.913). ConclusionThe helical BCFS can avoid the dissection of deltoid insertion and prevent the iatrogenic radial nerve injury. With satisfied effectiveness, it is suggested for minimally invasive surgical treatment of long split fractures involving the middle and upper humerus.
ObjectiveTo investigate the interventive effect of xuebijing for injection combined with nalmefene hydrochloride injection in treatment of acute hepatocyte functional injury after severe thoracoabdominal injuries. MethodsClinal data of 169 patients with severe thoracoabdominal injuries who treated in The 253th Hospital of PLA between January 2009 and June 2013 were collected retrospectively. The trauma indexes of the 169 patients were all higher than 17 scores. Patients were divided into the intervention group (n=112) and the control group (n=57) according to their receptive treatment:patients of control group underwent traditional treatments such as antishock, hemostasis, and so on; but patients of intervention group received xuebijing for injection combined with nalmefene hydrochloride injection (intravenous infusion). Patients of intervention group were tested at the time of arriving at and leaving the emergency department to the inpatient department with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and interleukin-6 (IL-6); the patients of control group were just tested at the time of leaving the emergency department to the inpatient department, then comparison of the indexes between the 2 groups was performed. ResultsIn intervention group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, LPS, and IL-6 after the interventive treatment were all lower than those of before interventive treatment (P<0.05). Compared with control group, there was no significant difference in the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, LPS, and IL-6 before the interventive treatment of intervention group (P>0.05); but the levels ALT, AST, TNF-α, LPS, and IL-6 were all lower after the interven-tive treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionsXuebijing for injection combined with nalmefene hydrochloride injection can evidently improve the acute hepatocyte functional injury after severe thoracoabdominal injuries, and improve the prognosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and myocardial cell function disorders in severe chest-abdominal injury patients. MethodsEighty-two subjects with severe chest-abdominal injury were collected from January 2009 to June 2012, of whom the trauma index were all above or equal to 17 points. As the rescue and treatment were in progress, the patients were examined for their creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), TNF-α, IL-6, and PLA2 for correlation analysis. Another 82 subjects undergoing physical examination during the same time were chosen as the controls, who were again divided into myocardial cell function control group with 46 subjects and injury factors control group with 36 subjects. ResultsFor the myocardial cell function control group, CK-MB was (8.13±3.64) U/L, and cTnT was (26.71±11.58) pg/mL; for the injury group, those two indexes were respectively (158.74±31.59) U/L and (496.25±58.46) pg/mL. For the injury factors control group, TNF-α was (1.28±0.59) ng/mL, IL-6 was (63.93±41.49) ng/mL, and PLA2 was (7.47±5.27) ng/mL; for the injury group, those three indexes were respectively (36.41±18.09) ng/mL, (393.83±143.86) ng/mL, and (41.35±14.26) ng/mL. For severer chest-abdominal injury patients, all correlation factors between CK-MB and TNF-α, IL-6, PLA2 were above 0.911, and the factors between cTnT and TNF-α, IL-6, PLA2 were all above 0.912, and all correlations were positive. ConclusionTNF-α, IL-6 and PLA2 all participate in the process of acute myocardial cell function disorders in severe chest-abdominal injury patients. Early intervention of TNF-α, IL-6, and PLA2 may reduce myocardial cell damage, and improve patients' survival rate.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of computer assisted navigation system (CANS) in the reconstruction of mandibular defects. MethodsBetween April 2012 and September 2014, 8 patients with mandibular defects were included in this study. There were 5 males and 3 females with an age range of 22-50 years (mean, 34.5 years), including 4 cases of ameloblastoma, 3 cases of odontogenic keratocyst, and 1 case of condylar osteoma. According to the CRABS (condyle, ramus, angle, body, symphysis) classification criteria based on the location of mandibular defect, there were 1 case of right CRAB type, 1 case of left RABS type, 1 case of left CR type, 1 case of right RAB type, 1 case of left C type, 1 case of right RABS+left S type, and 2 cases of right AB type. With the biteplate fixing mandible, maxillofacial CT and the donor site CT scan were done. Computer assisted design was made by using Surgicase CMF5.0 software and BrainLab Iplan software, included delineating the osteotomy lines for resection, ascertaining the normal anatomic structures for defect reconstruction, and determining the reconstructive morphology. With guide plates and the guidance of BrainLab navigation system, an en bloc tumor resection and simultaneous defect reconstruction were performed under the precise localization of mandibular angle and condyle. Preoperative and postoperative CT images were superimposed in Geomagic studio12.0 software system, and both were compared by three-dimensional (3D) objects and 2D slices. The complications and signs of recurrence were observed. ResultsUnder the guidance of navigation, preoperative facial symmetry design, surgery simulation, and simultaneous navigation operation were performed successfully. The postoperative CT and postoperative 3D error analysis showed osteotomy lines and reconstruction contour had good matching with the preoperative planning. The error of important corresponding points (mandibular angle and external pole of condyle) in the reconstruction of mandibular defects were (1.83±0.19) mm and (1.61±0.24) mm. The patients were followed up 2-6 months (mean, 3.5 months). No complication was observed in the other patients except the patients undergoing rib transplantation who had mild limitation of mouth opening. Good facial symmetry was obtained, and no tumor recurrence was found. ConclusionCANS can effectively increase the surgical precision in the reconstruction of mandibular defects and reduce complications, and recover facial symmetry. It is regarded as a valuable technique in this potentially complicated procedure.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlations between lipopolysaccharide(LPS), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) with coagulopathy after severe chest and abdominal injuries and their mechanisms. MethodsClinical data of 82 patients with severe chest and abdominal injuries whose trauma index (TI) was greater than or equal to 17 points in No. 253 Hospital of People's Liberation Army from January 2009 to June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed (severe chest and abdominal injury group). Those patients who had concomitant traumatic brain injuries or died in the Emergency Department were excluded from this study. There were 58 male and 24 female patients with their age of 16-76 (43.59±16.33)years. There were 17 patients with open injuries and 65 patients with closed injuries. There were 23 patients with fall injuries, 47 patients with traffic injuries, 8 patients with blunt force injuries, and 4 patients with penetrating injuries. Forty-two healthy volunteers who received routine medical examinations in the outpatient department of our hospital were chosen as the control group, including 27 males and 15 females with their age of 24-47 (37.32±10.45) years. Blood platelet (PLT) count, D-dimer (D-D), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), LPS, PLA2 and PAF were compared between the 2 groups, and linear correlation analysis was performed. ResultsPLT of the severe chest and abdominal injury group patients were significantly lower than that of the control group[(83.44±38.52)×109/L vs. (191.52±23.31)×109/L]. D-D[(1 823.89±608.02) U/L vs. (105.78±44.53) U/L], APTT [(68.24±24.12) s vs. (22.47±9.41) s], LPS[(438.66±106.02) U/L vs. (87.38±46.51) U/L], PLA2 [(41.35±14.26) ng/ml vs. (7.47±5.27)ng/ml] and PAF[(15 765.31±4 431.65) ng/L vs. (3 823.45±529.72) ng/L] of the severe chest and abdominal injury group patients were significantly higher than those of the control group(P < 0.001). PLT was significantly negatively correlated with LPS, PLA2 and PAF with all the respective correlation coefficient(r)less than-0.933 5. D-D and APTT were significantly positively correlated with LPS, PLA2 and PAF with all the respective r larger than 0.921 6. ConclusionLPS, PLA2 and PAF participate in the pathogenesis of coagulopathy in patients with severe chest and abdominal injuries. Early intervention against LPS, PLA2 and PAF may improve coagulopathy and survival rate of patients with severe chest and abdominal injuries.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlations between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with acute myocardial dysfunction after severe thoraco-abdominal injuries and possible mechanisms. MethodsClinical data of 82 patients with severe thoraco-abdominal injuries who were admitted to the 253rd Hospital of People's Liberation Army from January 2009 to June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed,whose trauma index (TI) were all above or equal to 17 points. Patients with concomitant brain injuries and patients who were brought in dead were excluded from this study. There were 58 male and 24 female patients with their age of 16-76 (43.59±16.33) years. There were 17 patients with open injuries and 65 patients with closed injuries. There were 23 patients with fall injuries,47 patients with traffic injuries,8 patients with blunt injuries,and 4 patients with penetrating injuries. The time from injury to admission was 1.51±0.52 hours. Blood creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) cardiac troponin T (cTnT) TNF-α and LPS were examined during emergency treatment,and the correlations between the results were analyzed. ResultsMyocardial dysfunction was shown by CK-MB of 158.74±31.59 U/L and cTnT of 496.25±58.46 pg/ml. Injury factors were TNF-α of 36.41±18.09 ng/ml and LPS of 343.66±106.02 U/L. CK-MB was positively correlated with TNF-α and LPS with the correlation coefficient (r) of 0.923 1and 0.883 2 respectively. cTnT was also positively correlated with TNF-α and LPS with r of 0.955 6 and 0.889 1 respectively. ConclusionBoth TNF-α and LPS participate in the pathogenesis and development of acute myocardial dysfunction after severe thoraco-abdominal injuries. Early intervention against TNF-α and LPS may alleviate acute myocardial dysfunction and improve patients' survival rate after severe thoraco-abdominal injuries.
Objective To investigate the status of health condition and activities of daily living of “50630” retired cadres in Mianzhu, and analyze the related factors affecting their activities of daily living. Methods According to the registration information of Mianzhu administration of elderly cadres in Sichuan, the method of cluster sampling was adopted in March 2019 to select retired cadres who participated in work between October 1st, 1949 and June 30th, 1950 in urban and rural areas respectively. The survey and analysis were carried out using the self-designed general condition questionnaire, Berg balance scale, Hoffer walking ability rating scale, and modified Barthel Index, to understand the activities of daily living ability of retired cadres and analyze the relevant factors affecting their self-care ability of daily life. Results A total of 64 “50630” retired cadres were investigated, with an average age of (86.39±3.37) years. 64.06% of the patients with poor balance function needed wheelchair, 10.94% could not walk, and 56.25% were heavily dependent on activities of daily living. Age (r=−0.421, P=0.001) and underlying diseases (r=−0.060, P=0.032) were negatively correlated with activities of daily living. Balance ability (r=0.658, P<0.001), walking ability (r=0.393, P=0.001), spouse status (r=0.669, P<0.001), care status (r=0.830, P<0.001), place of residence (r=0.706, P<0.001) were positively correlated with activities of daily living. Education level (r=0.096, P=0.380) and gender (r=0.122, P=0.265) had no correlation with activities of daily living. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of daily living activities of “50630” retired cadres in Mianzhu were balance function, walking ability, spouse or not and type of care. Conclusions There are many related factors affecting the activities of daily living of “50630” retired cadres, which can be intervened according to basic diseases, balance function and walking ability. Through multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral cooperation, integrating community health service resources, providing all-round health care services, formulating personalized rehabilitation measures, and organizing community group activities, it is possible to improve their social participation, psychological status, and ability of daily living activities, and reduce the disability, so as to further improve the quality of life of veteran cadres.
目的 探讨脂多糖（LPS）、白细胞介素-6（IL-6）和血小板活化因子（PAF）与重症胸腹创伤后凝血功能紊乱发生的相关性及可能的致病机理。方法 收集2009年1月至2011年12月期间在中国人民解放军第二五三医院急诊科就诊、创伤指数≥17分且除外合并颅脑损伤及在急诊科内死亡的胸腹创伤患者62例，在予以抢救、治疗的同时抽血检查血小板计数（PLT）、血浆D-二聚体（D-D）、部分活化凝血酶原时间（APTT）、凝血酶原时间（PT）、LPS、IL-6和PAF，并对其结果进行相关性分析。结果 本组患者就诊时检测的PLT为（157.73±78.11）×109/L， D-D为（1 023.88±208.72） U/L，APTT为（46.95±17.85） s，PT为（19.44±6.95） s，TT为（58.27±12.44）s，除PLT降低外，其余4项指标均升高或延长； LPS为（322.85±104.54） U/L，IL-6为（285.51±81.46） ng/mL，PAF为 （14 714.70±4 427.95） ng/L， 三者均升高； PLT与LPS、IL-6和PAF之间呈负相关关系（P＜0.001），而D-D、APTT、PT和TT与LPS、IL-6和PAF之间均呈正相关关系（P＜0.001）。结论 LPS、IL-6及PAF可能参与了重症胸腹创伤后凝血功能障碍的发生；重症胸腹损伤后出现的微循环障碍及内毒素血症是凝血功能障碍发生的重要机理。针对LPS、IL-6和PAF进行早期干预，有可能改善重症胸腹创伤患者的凝血功能障碍。
