METHODS: In 45/500 patients, refl uxate was visualized in TCEUS. 38/45 patients underwent esophagogastroduo denoscopy (EGD), 24-h pH monitoring and manometry. RESULTS: The 38 patients were grouped according to 24-h pH monitoring as follows: Group A: GER-positive (n = 20) [Includes Group B: isolated proximal refl ux (PR) (n = 6), Group C: isolated distal reflux (DR) (n = 6), and Group D: both PR/DR (n = 8)]; Group E: no refl ux (n = 13); and Group F: hypersensitive esophagus (HSE) (n = 5). Groups B + D indicated total PR patients (n = 14), Groups E + F refl ux-negatives with HSE (n = 18), and Groups A + F refl ux-positives with HSE (n = 25). When the 38 patients were grouped according to manometry fi ndings, 24 had normal esophageal manometry; 7 had hypotensive and 2 had hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (LES); and 5 had ineffective esophageal motility disorder (IEM). The ELD measurement was greater in group A + F than group E (P = 0.023, 5.0 ± 1.3 vs 3.9 ± 1.4 mm). In 27/38 patients, there was at least one pathologic acid refl ux and/or pathologic manometry fi nding. The cut-off value for ELD of 4.83 mm had 79% sensitivity and 61% specificity in predicting the PRbetween Groups B + D and E (AUC = 0.775, P = 0.015). CONCLUSION: Visualizing refluxate in TCEUS was useful as a pre-diagnostic tool for estimating GER or manometric pathology in 71.1% of adults in our study, but it was not diagnostic for CE WT.展开更多
目的:对比手指脉搏血压持续监测(FNBPM)和24 h动态血压(24 h ABPM)测量的血压变异性(BPV)与颈动脉内膜中层厚度(CIMT)的相关性。方法:分别使用FNBPM和24 h ABPM测量60例患者的BPV,用超声测量受检者CIMT。结果:CIMT增厚组(CIMT≥1.0 mm)...目的:对比手指脉搏血压持续监测(FNBPM)和24 h动态血压(24 h ABPM)测量的血压变异性(BPV)与颈动脉内膜中层厚度(CIMT)的相关性。方法:分别使用FNBPM和24 h ABPM测量60例患者的BPV,用超声测量受检者CIMT。结果:CIMT增厚组(CIMT≥1.0 mm)年龄比CIMT正常组(CIMT<1.0 mm)年龄大(P<0.001);24 h ABPM测量的24 h收缩血压变异性(SBPV)和FNBPM测量的10 min SBPV、10 min DBPV与CIMT存在相关性,各个时间段的平均BPV与CIMT不存在相关性。多元线性回归法分析发现只有FNBPM测量的10 min舒张血压变异性SBPV与CIMT存在相关性。结论:使用FNBPM测量的BPV更能反映与CIMT的相关性。展开更多
