目的 探讨实时超声弹性成像技术联合常规超声检查在评估脑卒中患者颈动脉粥样硬化斑块稳定性中的临床应用价值。方法 收集我院收治的临床确诊脑卒中患者(卒中组)34例作为研究对象,另抽取同期存在颈动脉斑块但未发生过脑卒中的人群(对照组)56例作为对照研究对象,进行超声弹性成像检测,并对检查结果进行统计分析。结果 34例脑卒中患者发现颈动脉粥样硬化斑块57个,其中低回声斑块29个,混合回声斑块21个,强回声斑块7个;56例对照组患者发现颈动脉粥样硬化斑块75个,其中低回声斑块22个,混合回声斑块25个,强回声斑块28个;两组间比较斑块数量之间、斑块大小之间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。颈动脉粥样硬化低回声、混合回声及强回声斑块弹性评分依次升高,其斑块硬度值依次升高;两组间斑块的评分数量分布差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);对于同一类型斑块的硬度值两组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);脑卒中组不同类型斑块间的硬度值差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 超声弹性成像技术可对脑卒中患者颈动脉粥样硬化斑块的稳定性进行半定量评估,不同类型斑块因所含组织成分的不同其弹性应变率表现也不同,能有效补充常规超声检查的信息的不足,进而评估斑块的稳定性。

Objective To explore the clinical value of real-time ultrasound elastography combined with conventional ultrasound in assessing the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaques in stroke patients. Methods Thirty-four patients with clinically confirmed stroke (stroke group) in our hospital were collected as the research object. Another 56 patients with carotid plaque but without stroke (control group) in the same period were selected as the control object for ultrasonic elastography detection, and the results were analyzed statistically. Results Thirty-four stroke patients were found 57 carotid atherosclerotic plaques, including 29 hypoechoic plaques, 21 mixed echoic plaques and 7 hyperechoic plaques; 56 control patients were found 75 carotid atherosclerotic plaques, including 22 hypoechoic plaques, 25 mixed echoic plaques and 28 hyperechoic plaques. There were significant differences between the number of plaques and the size of plaques (P<0.05). Carotid atherosclerosis low echo, mixed echo and strong echo plaque elasticity score increased in turn, the plaque hardness value increased in turn; the number of plaque scores between the two groups had statistical significance (P<0.05); for the same type of plaque hardness value between the two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05); There were significant differences in hardness values between the same types of plaques (P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound elastography may semi-quantitatively evaluate the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaques in stroke patients. Different types of plaques have different elastic strain rates because of different tissue components. It may effectively complement the information deficiency of conventional ultrasound examination, and then evaluate the stability of plaques.

目的 通过超声造影成像技术( CEUS)观察颈动脉斑块内新生血管的情况,探讨颈动脉斑块的厚度与新生血管的关系。方法 选择颈动脉粥样硬化患者40例,经常规超声确诊存在斑块,共64个,应用CEUS成像技术检测斑块内新生血管情况。结果 不同厚度的颈动脉斑块的增强强度与斑块厚度成正相关(r=0.897 6,P=0.000 0)。结论 超声造影成像技术可以在常规超声的基础上通过检测斑块内的新生血管,进而判断斑块的性质,提供更多有用的信息进一步评估颈动脉斑块内新生血管增强强度与斑块厚度存在线性正相关性。

Objective To evaluate the neovascularization in carotid plaques by gray-scale harmonic contrast echocardiography (CEUS), and to investigate the relationship between the thickness of carotid artery plaque and the neovascularization.Methods 40 patients with carotid atherosclerosis were selected, and 64 plaques were diagnosed by regular ultrasound. The neovascularization in plaques was detected by CEUS imaging technique.Results The enhanced strength of carotid plaques with different thickness was positively correlated with plaque thickness (r=0.8976,P=0.0000).Conclusion Ultrasound contrast imaging can detect angiogenesis within the plaque based on conventional ultrasound, and then determine the nature of the plaque. More useful information is provided to further evaluate the linear positive correlation between the intensity of neovascularization and the thickness of plaque in carotid plaque.

目的 探讨急性脑卒中患者颈动脉粥样硬化斑块的超声形态学表现以及探讨不同超声形态学表现的诊断价值。方法 对所有入选受检者进行多层螺旋CT或磁共振(MRI)检查、常规颈动脉超声检查、彩色多普勒血流显像(CDFI)、超声造影技术(CEUS)的影像学资料进行回顾性分析;所入选病例组患者在发病2天内完成上述影像学检查,对照组受检者也在2天内完成上述影像学检查。结果 常规超声发现病例组颈动脉斑块45处、对照组11处;CDFI发现病例组颈动脉斑块远端血流频谱改变35例、对照组11例;超声造影发现颈动脉斑粥样硬化斑块处毛细血管现象病例组15例、对照组2例。斑块表面形态以及内部回声分布情况两项结果与对照组比较差异有统计学意义。结论 脑卒中患者与无症状颈动脉硬化受检者的斑块超声声像图中,斑块表面形态以及内部回声分布两项指标具有明显的鉴别诊断意义。提示表面不光整、内部回声分布不均匀的斑块导致急性脑卒中的可能性较大。

目的 社区干预在颈动脉斑块伴脂代谢紊乱人群中的应用。方法 选取我院2012年3月—2014年3月186例颈动脉斑块伴脂代谢患者为研究对象,将患者抽签随机分为观察组与对照组,每组93例。对照组给予基础治疗及运动生活方式指导,观察组给予基础治疗以及强化社区健康管理综合干预,观察并记录两组Crouse积分,总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C )水平及遵医行为。结果 治疗1、2年后观察组颈动脉斑块积分(3.46±2.13)cm、(3.07±2.49)cm低于对照组(4.56±2.26)cm、(4.43±2.51)cm,两组差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。观察组治疗1年、2年后TC、TG、LDL-C水平低于对照组,HDL-C水平高于对照组,两组差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。观察组遵医行为优于对照组(P＜0.05)。结论 社区健康管理综合干预能显著提高患者遵医行为,改善生活方式,从而使血脂达到正常水平,延缓颈动脉斑块发展。

Objective To study the application of community intervention in population with carotid plaque complicated with dyslipidemia. Methods 186 cases of patients with carotid plaque complicated with dyslipidemia who were admitted in our hospital from March 2012 to March 2014 were selected as the study objects and were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group according to random sampling method, with 93 cases in each group. The control group was given basic treatment and guidance of exercise lifestyle. The observation group was given basic treatment and strengthened community health management integrated intervention. The crouse integral, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and treatment compliance in the two groups were observed and recorded. Results After 1 and 2 years of treatment, the carotid artery plaque score in the observation group [(3.46±2.13) cm, (3.07±2.49) cm] was lower than that in the control group [(4.56± 2.26) cm, (4.43±2.51) cm](P<0.05). TC, TG and LDL-C levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group while HDL-C level was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The treatment compliance in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Community health management integrated intervention can significantly improve the treatment compliance of patientsand their life style, so as to achieve the normal level of blood lipids and carotid plaque will be postponed.
