Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasound in grading portal vein stenosis (PVS) in a rat model of 70% partial hepatectomy (PH).
Methods: A total of 96 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a PH group and PVS groups with mild, moderate, and severe PVS following PH. Hemodynamic parameters were measured using high-frequency ultrasound (5-12 MHz high-frequency linear transducer), including pre-stenotic, stenotic, and post-stenotic portal vein diameters (PVD, PVD, PVDpost); pre-stenotic and stenotic portal vein velocity (PVVpre, PVVs); hepatic artery peak systolic velocity (PSV); end-diastolic velocity; and resistive index.

Background: Recently, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used to simulate blood flow of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) and investigate the clinical implications of its haemodynamic features, which were systematically reviewed in this study.
Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statements, we searched PubMed and Embase up to March 2024 and screened for articles reporting clinical implications of haemodynamic parameters in sICAS derived from CFD models.
Results: 19 articles met the inclusion criteria, all studies recruiting patients from China.

There may be different mechanisms underlying internal (IBZ) and cortical (CBZ) borderzone infarcts in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis. In 84 patients with symptomatic, 50-99% atherosclerotic stenosis of M1 middle cerebral artery (MCA-M1) with acute borderzone infarcts in diffusion-weighted imaging, we classified the infarct patterns as isolated IBZ (n = 37), isolated CBZ (n = 31), and IBZ+CBZ (n = 16) infarcts. CT angiography-based computational fluid dynamics models were constructed to quantify translesional, post-stenotic to pre-stenotic pressure ratio (PR) in the MCA-M1 lesion.

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in diagnosing cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in patients with no findings detected in conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Material And Methods: Fifty-four patients who presented for cervical MRI between January 2016 and June 2016, with symptoms such as neck pain, paresis, and numbness in hands, were included in the study. The patients were split into four groups based on their degrees of spinal stenosis.
