【摘要】 目的 探讨不同回声类型超声造影剂在胃肠疾病诊断中的价值。 方法 采用“胃窗声学造影剂”充盈检查法,用凸阵3.5 MHz探头,对2009年3-8月366名受检者行经腹壁超声检查。受检者随机分为两组:饮水者为A组,饮有回声造影剂者为B组。 结果 选择性地应用合适的造影剂,能有效地提高对胃肠疾病的超声诊断水平。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the application of contrast agents with different echogenic in the diseases of stomach and intestine. Methods Totally, 366 patients were included in the study from March to August 2009. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A (oral acoustic contrast agent) and group B (water). Contrast-enhanced Doppler sonography was performed with 3.5 MHz abdomen probe. Results Contrast agent with anechoic was good for showing iso-echoic and hyperechoic tissue.Hyperechoic contrast agent was better for showing hypoechoic changes according to its long sitting-time in stomach. Conclusion Contrast enhanced ultrasound has practical value in diagnosis of the diseases of stomach and intestine.
【摘要】 目的 探讨超声显像对肾上腺肿瘤的定位、定性诊断与鉴别诊断价值。 方法 对 2003年1月-2009年1月125例疑为肾上腺肿瘤患者进行超声及CT检查,并经手术与病理证实。超声显像诊断后经手术与病理证实为嗜铬细胞瘤48例,肾上腺皮质腺瘤41例,皮质腺癌11例,肾上腺转移癌 9例,髓样脂肪瘤8例,结节样增生2例,肾上腺结核4例,胰尾部肿瘤1例,肝脏肿瘤1例,肾上极肿瘤1例。 结果 肾上腺肿瘤的病理类型不同,声像图表现亦各不相同。超声显像定位诊断符合率为96.0%(120/125),定性诊断符合率为91.2% (114/125)。 结论 超声显像对肾上腺肿瘤的定位与定性诊断价值较大,可作为临床诊断的首选检查方法。【Abstract】 Objective To assess the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of tumors of adrenal gland. Methods From January 2003 to January 2009, 125 patients who were suspected to suffering from adrenal tumors underwent ultrasonography and CT examination. The results were then confirmed by surgery and pathology. There were 48 cases of pheochromocytoma, 41 adenoma, 11 adenocarcinoma, 9 metastatic tumor, 8 adrenal medullary lipoma, 2 nubblar hyperplasia, 4 tuberculosis of adrenal gland, 1 tumor of cauda pancreatic, 1 tumor of liver and 1 tumor of upper pole of kidney. Results The ultrasonographic features varied with different pathological types. The accuracy diagnosis of localizition and qualitation were 96.0% (120/125) and 91.2% (114/125) respectively. Conclusion Ultrasonography is useful in diagnosing tumors of adrenal gland, which may be used as the first choice for the disease.
Objective To explore the clinical value of shear wave elastography in the evaluation of quadriceps femoris lesions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Fifty-eight COPD patients who were admitted to Chengdu First People’s Hospital and 55 healthy controls were included in the study between August 2021 and February 2022. The thickness, circumference, cross-sectional area and Young's modulus of quadriceps femoris in all subjects were measured using shear wave elastography combined with conventional two-dimensional ultrasound. The differences in ultrasound parameters between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between each ultrasound parameter and clinical evaluation indicators (modified British Medical Research Council Scale, COPD Assessment Test, six-minute walk test, and five-time sit-to-stand test) was analyzed. Results Young’s modulus values of the quadriceps femoris muscle were smaller in the COPD group than those in the healthy control group [COPD Group: rectus femoris 6.72 (6.22, 7.36) kPa, vastus medialis 6.25 (5.82, 6.79) kPa, vastus lateralis 6.94 (6.17, 7.48) kPa; healthy control group: rectus femoris 11.40 (10.23, 12.11) kPa, vastus medialis 10.77 (9.62, 11.42) kPa, vastus lateralis 11.14 (10.42, 12.52) kPa]. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The Young's modulus value of the rectus femoris muscle correlates with the aforementioned clinical evaluation indicators, with positive correlation with six-minute walk distance and negative correlation with COPD Assessment Test, modified British Medical Research Council Scale, five-time sit-to-stand time (P<0.05). Quadriceps thickness, circumference, and cross-sectional area measured by conventional two-dimensional ultrasound were not significantly different between the two groups, nor were there significant correlations between each parameter and clinical parameters (P>0.05). In addition, shear wave elastography has good reproducibility in the measurement of Young's modulus in quadriceps. Conclusions Shear wave elastography can identify quadriceps lesions earlier than conventional two-dimensional ultrasound in COPD patients, and there is a significant correlation between its measurements and the clinical condition of COPD patients. Shear wave elastography may provide a simple and noninvasive method for clinical evaluation of quadriceps femoris lesions in COPD patients.
