- The study focuses on improving the visualization of neovascularization in injured finger tendons using a novel high-frequency micro-Doppler imaging (HFμDI) technique instead of traditional ultrasound, which lacks the necessary resolution.
- The HFμDI method was tested on both small animal models and human patients, showing superior imaging capabilities and enhanced visibility of microvasculature in injuries.
- Results indicated significant neovascularization early in the healing process, which reduced after rehabilitation, suggesting that physical therapy can positively affect tendon healing by lowering neovascular density.
Objective: To compare the quality of life in patients with prevertebral or retrosternal reconstruction after cervical tubular gastroesophagostomy.
Methods: A total of 167 patients enrolled in this prospective study from July 2008 to June 2012 in Shantou Central Hospital, and divided into prevertebral route group(85 cases) and retrosternal route group(82 cases) according to the random number table method. Quality of life questionnaire was investigated 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after operation respectively.
