| Objective To study the application of VTQ in the diagnosis of patients with NAFLD.Methods From June 2014 to June 2016, 108 patients with NAFLD were selected as the research object. According to the routine ultrasound examination results, all patients were divided into mild group, moderate group and severe group, with 36 cases in each group. Another 36 cases of non liver disease patients in the hospital were selected as the control group. We measured the SWV values of S4 and S5 segments, the subcutaneous? fat? thickness,and the thickness of the abdominal rectus muscle. All values were compared before and after intervention. Results Before intervention, the SWV values of S4 and S5 segments in four groups were: the control group (0.90±0.11)m/s, (1.10±0.09)m/s; the mild group (1.01±0.19)m/s, (1.03±0.22)m/s; the moderate goup (1.16±0.17)m/s, (1.21±0.18)m/s; the severe group (1.25±0.20)m/s, (1.34±0.13)m/s. All values were statistically significant among the four groups (P<0.05). Then the three NAFLD groups were compared with the control group respectively, values ofSWV were statistically significant (P<0.05), and there were serious statistical significance in severe group. But the other two values were statistically significant only between the control group and severe group (P<0.05). After intervention, the three NAFLD groups' SWV values of S4 and S5 segmentswere: the mild group 0.81±0.11m/s, 0.83±0.24m/s; the moderate group (0.96±0.20)m/s, (0.99±0.13)m/s; the severe group (0.98±0.17)m/s, (1.01±0.18)m/s. Before and after intervention, the SWV values were statistically significant among the three NAFLD groups(P<0.05). Conclusion The application of VTQ in the diagnosis of NAFLD has great potential clinical application value. |
