Objective To evaluate the imaging features of patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) induced by Subcortical Ischemic Vascular Disease (SIVD), through magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging ( DTI ) and proton spectroscopy ( MRS ) technology. Methods A total of 52 patients with SIVD were enrolled. After analysis of scale score, 32 patients with cognitive impairment were assigned to VCI group and 20 patients with no cognitive impairment were assigned to control group. Both group received DTI and MRS examination. The mean values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of the bilateral temporal, frontal, parietal and occipital white matter regions as well as in the bilateral centrum semiovale were calculated. The peak value of MRS of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) , choline ( Cho), creatine (Cr) and phaseomannite ( mI ) were calculated. Results Compared with control group, FA decreased in the region of temporal, frontal, parietal as well as in the centrum semiovale , and ADC increased in VC[group ( P < 0.05 ) . In the frontal regions and centrum semiovale,the VCI patients had a significant FA decrease. The ADC value increased obviously in the temperal lobe.Spectrum analysis results showed, NAA/Cr was lower than control group in VCI group in the frontal lobe (1.43 ±0.08 vs 1.53 ± 0. 92), while mI/Cr was higher than control group in the temporal lobe(0. 51 ±0. 06 vs 0. 46 ± 0. 07 ) ( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion FA in the temporal and centrum semiovale regions of VCI group and NAA in the temporal white matter regions decreased obviously. DTI and MRS could provide a reference value for early diagnosis and assessment of VCI.

Objective To discuss the influence of the change in ceiling-mounted shield positions on the radiation doses to the first and second operators during percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods In this study,the entrance surface dose (ESD) rates were measured for the first and second operators at 125 cm and 155 cm height on different ceiling-mounted shield positions separately through transradial approach.Measurements were repeated 20 times for each position and T test was used for statistical analysis of dose rate arithmetic mean values.Results For the first operator,the effective dose values were obtained only on left foot position.The ESD rate values at ceiling-mounted shield position close to patient were higher than that close to operators (t125 =46.9,t155 =4.1,P <0.05).For the second operator,the ESD rate values on his foot position,right foot position,left anterior oblique position and right anterior oblique position at ceiling-mounted shield position close to the operator,were higher than that close to the patient separately (t125 =11.9,24.4,11.2,2.7,t155 =16.1,2.8,14.4,28.8,P < 0.05).The ESD rate values on head position,left foot position,left head position at ceiling-mounted shield position close to the operator,were lower than that close to the patient (t125 =-4.3,-2.4,-80.4,t155 =-10.2,-6.7,-152.6,P < 0.05).Conclusions The change in the ceiling-mounted shield positions gave rise to change in radiation dose to the operators.The changes in radiation doses caused by the changes in ceiling-mounted shield positions are different in various angiographic positions.Ceiling-mounted shield should be used in a reasonable way in agreement with different positions in percutaneous coronary intervention so as to effectively reduce operators radiation dose.

Objective:To explore the application of microvascular flow imaging (MVFI) combined with high-frequency ultrasonography in children with haemophilic arthropathy A (HAA).Methods:Retrospective study.A total of 82 children diagnosed with HAA in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to October 2020 were recruited.The elbow, knee and ankle joints of each child were examined by high-frequency ultrasonography.The numbers of thickened synovial joints were recorded.Blood flow signals of the thickening of synovial joints was checked by the MVFI and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS), respectively.Color flow signals were graded by the semi-quantitative scoring systems.The chi- square test and independent multi-group ordinal multi-category rank-sum test were used to compare the differences of MVFI and PDUS in the display of thickened synovial blood flow. Results:A total of 254 joints were involved in 82 children with HAA, including synovial hypertrophy in 188 joints, hydrops articuli in 146 joints, fibrotic septa in 66 joints, cartilage damage in 63 joints, haemosider indeposition in 45 joints, bone erosion in 25 joints, osteophytes in 15 joints and bone remodeling in 8 joints.Grade Ⅱ synovial thickened joints were the most common.The proportion of blood flow signals detected by PDUS in thickened synovial membranes was significantly higher than that detected MVFI (52.66% vs.70.21%, χ2=12.225, P<0.05). Numbers of grade 0 and Ⅰ joints with thickened synovial membranes detected by MVFI were less than those of PDUS, while the opposite result was obtained in detecting grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ joints ( H=21.158, P<0.05). Compared with PDUS, MVFI more sensitively visualized the blood flow of the thickened synovial membrane. Conclusions:MVFI can more prominently detect the thickened synovial blood flow in children with HAA.A combined application of MVFI and high-frequency ultrasonography contributes to the evaluation of children with HAA.

Objective We performed a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study to explore the value of mode of anisotropy (MO) and other DTI-derived indices in assessing white matter fiber damage with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease (AD) patients. Methods This study was a prospective study. From February 2015 to February 2018, 33 patients with mild to moderate AD according to criteria were prospectively recruited as AD group at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Twenty healthy age-, sex-matched volunteers were recruited as normoal conctrast (NC) group. All subjects were performed by conventional brain MRI and DTI scans. The MO, anisotropic fraction (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD) and axial diffusivity (AxD) of white matter fibers were obtained from DTI images after TBSS post-processing. The statistical analyses of DTI indices between AD group and NC group were carried out in Functional MRI Software Library software. Results As compared with NC group, we found 1 cluster with significant decrease FA and increase RD in AD group, the affected fibers involving bilateral anterior thalamic radiation, corticospinal tract, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, uncinated fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus (P<0.05). The MD value increase(P<0.1) was found to coincide with the decrease of FA and the increase of RD, while no significant increase or decrease in P<0.05. Three clusters of MO increases (P<0.05) accompanying with increases of AxD were found in left anterior limb of internal capsule, bilateral posterior limb of internal capsule, posterior forceps, left centrum semiovale and parietal lobe. Two clusters of MO decreases (P<0.05) accompanying with decreases of FA and increases of RD were found in fornix, forceps, external capsule, centrum semiovale and left frontal lobe. Conclusions The combination of MO with DTI routine tensor indices (FA, RD, MD, AxD) can further reveal the microstructural damage of white matter fibers in AD, especially to crossing-fibers. The abnormalities of MO combined with FA, RD and MD reveal the degeneration of both bundles of crossing-fibers,and the abnormalities of MO combined with AxD reveal that the white matter damage was mainly caused by axon damage of one bundle of cross fibers.
