Objective To explore the value of phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MR) in diagnosis of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) in pediatric patients. Methods Totally 42 patients (aged from 9 months to 15 years) with secundum ASD proved with tansthoric echocardiographic (TTE) were evaluated with PC-MRI. Images of the flow through ASD were obtained with PC-MRI. The distances of ASD rim to superior vena cava (SVC), inferior vena cava (IVC), atrioventricular valves (AVV) and right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV), as well as the entrances of the vena cava and right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) were assessed. Results The sizes of ASD and distances of ASD rim to the adjacent structures (SVC, RVC, AVV and RUPV) at PC-MRI were well consistent with those of TTE in 42 patients (P<0.001). PC-MRI results in 26 patients correlated well with surgical results (P<0.001). With different velocity encoding, compared with surgical results, measurements of ASD's sizes were more accurate when setting velocity from 50 to 70 cm/s than 90 cm/s. Conclusion The shape of ASD can be virtually depicted with PC-MRI. PC-MRI can accurately assess the defect size, number, rim distances to adjacent structures, therefore providing a new method for depiction of congenital heart anomaly.

ObjectiveTo study the anatomical abnormalities of basal ganglia and research their influence on depression status in patients with post stroke depression (PSD)by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of MRI.MethodsPatients with basal ganglia infarction were recruited,and divided into groups of PSD and non depression control group by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) assessment. All the patients were evaluated with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS). And the patients were checked by DTI sequence.Fractional anisotropy (FA),average diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and the number of nerve fiber were measured in bilateral caudatum,pallidum,putamen and thalamus.ResultsThe score of NIHSS (6.29 ± 3.45 ) was significantly higher in PSD group than that in non-depression group (3.95 ± 1.90 ;t =2.219,P =0.036). No significant difference was found between the two groups for the DTI data of the basal ganglia nuclei ( t =0.056-1.618,all P > 0.05 ). Compared with contralateral construction (0.40 ± 0.02 ),the FA value decreased in the left putamen ( 0.37 ± 0.03 ) in the PSD group ( t =2.243,P =0.045 ).By Spearman correlations analysis,the HAMD score was positively correlated with NIHSS score ( r =0.464,P =0.017 ),and negatively correlated with the FA values of left pallidum (r=-0.563,P=0.005),right pallidum (r=-0.416,P=0.035) and left putamen (r =-0.428,P =0.029).Conclusions The occurrence of PSD was associated with neurological functional deficit following basal ganglia infarction.The depression level was correlated with the increasing of NIHSS score,the reductions in bilateral pallidum and left putamen FA values.This research contributes to evaluation of the PSD status in patients with basal ganglia infarction.

Objective To observe the cerebral protective effect of mild hypothermia by semiconductor cooling device on the liver surface in rabbits after cardiac arrest (CA). Methods Eighteen healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly and equally divided into CA control group, ice saline group and semiconductor group. CA was induced by rapid intravenous injection of potassium chloride. Five minutes after onset of CA, CPR was initiated. Compared to the control group, which was not treated by hypothermia intervention after CPR, the ice saline group was treated by 4 ℃ ice saline infusion and the semiconductor group was treated by the semiconductor refrigeration piece device cooling on the liver surface for hypothermia intervention after CPR. We recorded the changes of temperature (tympanic temperature and anus temperature), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) of rabbits in each group, neurological deficit scores (NDS) at 24, 48, 72 hours after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and the changes of serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pathological changes of the hippocampus tissue, liver tissue and skin tissue were obtained by HE staining. Results There was no significant difference in ROSC time in each group. Two rabbits died at 55 hours and 67 hours after ROSC respectively in the control group. The remaining rabbits survived to 72 hours after challenge. There was no significant difference in the overall survival time in groups. Two hypothermia intervention groups had significantly lower level of serum NSE at 24 hours after ROSC and lower DNS scores at 24, 48, 72 hours after ROSC than control group. And the level of serum NSE after 24 hours of ROSC in the semiconductor group were significantly lower than the ice saline group (μg/L: 6.916±1.161 vs. 8.615±1.430, P < 0.05). DNS scores at 24, 48, 72 hours after ROSC in the semiconductor group were all significantly lower than the ice saline group (scores: 1.33±0.52 vs. 2.00±0.01, 1.01±0.41 vs. 2.00±0.01, 0.92±0.40 vs. 2.10±0.52 respectively, all P < 0.05). Two hypothermia intervention groups had more minor damage of neuronal cell in hippocampus than the control group. And the semiconductor group had more minor damage than the ice saline group. There were no obvious hepatic and subcutaneous tissue injury through which the semiconductor induced hypothermia was performed at corresponding liver surface skin. Conclusion The hypothermia by semiconductor cooling device on the liver surface is a new safe way of protecting brain tissue after CA, which has better cerebral protective effect than ice saline infusion.
