[Three-dimensional radiologic device as a new diagnostic aid in angiocardiography].

Angiography with 180 degrees arc was performed using a rapidly rotating stereoradiographic device and a single injection of contrast medium. Duration of rotation of the X-ray tube through 180 degrees was 2.25 sec.

Rotatostereoradiography: a new radiodiagnostic method--development of a new three-dimensional radiodiagnostic device and evaluation in neurosurgical clinics.

The rotatostereoradiographic device uses an x-ray tube coupled with an image intensifier rotating through a 180 degree arc in 2.25 seconds. The rapidly rotating x-ray tube allows 180 degree-arc angiograms to be obtained with a single injection of contrast medium.

[Effect of nafamostat mesilate on serum activities of pancreatic enzymes and plasma hormone levels].

To evaluate the effect of nafamostat mesilate, a potent protease inhibitor, on the pancreatic enzymes and the endocrine system in patients undergoing open-heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation, serum activities of amylase, trypsin, alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) and pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), and plasma levels of cortisol and catecholamines were measured. Seven patients (nafamostat group) received intravenous nafamostat mesilate 0.5 mg.
