Association between magnetic resonance imaging of carotid artery and coronary stenosis detected by computed tomography angiography.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between carotid artery stenosis (CAS) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the coronary stenosis (CS) determined by computed tomography angiography (CTA).

Methods: In this prospective study, 42 subjects diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent MRI and CTA examinations. The severity degree and number of CAS, the score, detection rate and type of carotid plaque, and also the severity degree and number of CS were assessed.

Leiomyosarcoma of the splenic vein: A case report.

Leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) originating from the wall of blood vessels are aggressive and rare neoplasms. The current study describes a case of a 52-year-old man who presented with intermittent abdominal pain without weight loss or diarrhea. Computed tomography of the abdomen identified a 4-cm, solid, heterogeneous tumor in the tail of the pancreas, while a hypodense lesion was also noted in the right hepatic lobe.

[Spectroscopic Study on a Direct-Current Driving Plasma Jet in Argon at Atmospheric Pressure].

With a discharge device in a hollow-needle and plate electrode configurations, an atmospheric pressure uniform plasma plume is generated by DC voltage excitation in the ambient air with argon as working gas. The plasma plume is a pulsed discharge despite a direct current voltage is applied through measurements by optical and electrical methods. In order to explain the formation mechanism of the pulse, spatially resolved signals emitted from the plume were detected.

[Glow Discharge Characteristics of Hollow Needle-Plate Electrode in Atmospheric Pressure Argon].

Atmosphere pressure uniform plasma has the broad application prospect in the industrial field. Using hollow needle cathode-plate anode device excited by direct-current voltage, a uniform and stable glow discharge is generated at atmospheric pressure in ambient air with argon used as working gas. The influence of the experimental parameters (including gas flow rate and the gas gap width) on discharge has been investigated by optical method.

[Investigation of a jet operated in atmospheric pressure argon by optical emission spectroscopy].

A uniform plasma plume was generated in a coaxial dielectric barrier discharge jet through blowing argon into the ambient air at atmospheric pressure. The plasma plume was uniform along the direction of the gas flow. The length of the plasma plume was investigated as a function of the peak voltage, the driving frequency and the gas flow rate.

[Spectroscopic characteristics of DC excited atmospheric pressure glow discharges generated in a needle-plate electrode device and a needle-water electrode one].

Glow discharge characteristics in two discharge devices, i.e. in a needle-plate electrode geometry and a needle-water electrode one were compared by using spectroscopic method.

[Influence of pressure on plasma temperature of octagon structure in dielectric barrier discharge].

Octagon structure consisting of the spots and lines was firstly observed in discharge in argon and air mixture by using a dielectric barrier discharge device with water electrodes. Plasma temperatures of the spots and lines in octagon structure at different gas pressure were studied by using optical emission spectra. The emission spectra of the N2 second positive band (C3IIu-->B3IIg)were measured, and the molecule vibrational temperatures of the spots and lines were calculated by the emission intensities.

[Comparative investigation of the discharge characteristics of a single needle jet and needle-plate jet].

In the present paper, discharge characteristics were studied in atmospheric pressure argon by a single needle jet and needle-plate jet through combination of optical measurement and electrical one. Results show that the length and cross-sectional area of the plasmas generated in the two jets increase with increasing the peak value of the applied voltage. The cross-sectional area generated by needle-plate jet is bigger than that of the single needle jet at the same voltage.
