本文对湖南省岳阳市550名3-59岁的日本血吸虫病非流行区人群进行了肝脾超声测量，以确定超声器官测量的正常值范围。测量包括肝脏的大小（左叶和右叶），门静脉主干，外周门静脉周围分支，脾脏长度和厚度。结果证明了身高与器官测量参数之间的显着关系。按身高分层的参考值提高了评估的准确性。因此，本研究中建立的基于身高的正常范围可以应用于医院常规和感染S.在湖南省及我国其他流行区也有分布。(C)2004 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
Hepatosplenic measurements among 550 Chinese subjects, aged 3-59 years from Yueyang city-a nonendemic area for schistosomiasis in Hunan province, China-were performed to define normal ranges of ultrasound organometry for assessing hepatosplenic, morbidity in Schistosoma japonicum infection. Measurements included the size of the liver (left lobe and right lobe), the main portal vein stem, the peripheral periportal vein branches, and spleen length and thickness. The results document the significant relationship between body height and organometric parameters. The reference values stratified by body height improve the accuracy of assessment. Thus, height-based normal ranges established in this study can be applied in hospital routine and in field studies of patients infected with S. japonicum in Hunan province and in other endemic areas of China.
