Case Reports[Anesthesia for caesarean section in a gravida with peripartum cardiomyopathy combined with acute heart failure: a case report].
Peripartum cardiomyopathy(PPCM) is a rare but serious form of cardiac failure affecting women in the last month of pregnancy or early puerperium within six months. Clinical presentation of PPCM is similar to that of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, and maternal mortality is high. An 18 year-old primigravida was admitted to our hospital at the end of forty-one weeks of gestation. ⋯ Nitroglycerin and milinone infusions continued throughout the surgery titrated to the hemodynamics. The patient received inotropic agents, dieresis, vasodilators and anticoagulants post-operatively. Both the mother and the baby were discharged safely 9 days after operation.

[In vivo quantitative measurement of diffusion parameters in brain extracellular space of rat by using magnetic resonance imaging].
To develop a novel method of quantitatively measuring the diffusion parameters of brain extracellular space (ECS) by using gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) as the tracer. ⋯ The biophysical properties of brain ECS can be quantitatively characterized by this newly developed method in living brain, which will enhance our understanding of the micro-environment of neuron and provide a new way to understand cognition and encephalopathy.
