Objective To investigate the strengths and weaknesses of SPAIR and WE in iShim-IVIM of breast gland MRI scanning. Methods Twenty patients with breast tumor underwent iShim-IVIM and DCE-MRI scanning by SPAIR and WE technology. SNR ,CNR and ADC of the SPAIR-iShim and WE-iShim imaging were cal-culated and imaging quality were evaluated. Statistical analysis was done afterwards. Results The SNR and CNR of WE technology is higher than those of SPAIR statistically (P<0.05). There is no significant statistical differ-ence in score of the images between SPAIR and WE(P>0.05). The ADC of the center of the tumor has no signifi-cant statistical difference between SPAIR and WE(P>0.05). Conclusion The quality of the images using WE is significantly improved than SPAIR ,but both of them can meet the diagnostic requirements ,and the ADC has no statistical difference as well.

Objective: To examine the effects of obesity and central obesity on hypertension, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control measures of hypertension. Methods: From September to December 2018, residents at ages of 35 to 75 years were sampled using the multi-stage random sampling method in Baiyin District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, and subjected to questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. The interaction between obesity/central obesity and hypertension was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. The synergy index ( SI ), relative excess risk due to interaction ( RERI ) and attributable proportion due to interaction ( AP ) were calculated using Excel compiled by Andersson et al. Results: A total of 6 246 questionnaires were allocated and 6 169 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.77%. The respondents included 3 038 men ( 49.25% ) and 3 131 women (50.75%), with a mean age of ( 52.05±8.78 ) years. There were 832 respondents with obesity ( 13.49% ) and 2 278 with central obesity ( 36.93% ). The crude and standardized prevalence rates of hypertension were 35.89% and 33.05%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that obesity ( OR=2.020, 95%CI: 1.705-2.393 ) and central obesity ( OR=1.622, 95%CI: 1.433-1.836 ) were statistically associated with hypertension. There was no multiplicative interaction between obesity or central obesity and hypertension ( OR=1.011, 95%CI: 0.655-1.560 ), and no additive interaction was detected between obesity or central obesityand hypertension ( SI=1.405, 95%CI: 0.815-2.424; RERI=0.658, 95%CI: -0.298 to 1.614; AP=0.201, 95%CI: -0.075 to 0.476 ). Conclusions Obesity and central obesity increase the risk of hypertension; however, no interaction is detected between obesity or central obesity and hypertension.

Depression,a common mood disorder,has a complex pathogenesis.In recent years,the accelerated pace of life has been accompanied by an increase in the prevalence rate of depression,leading to extensive attention being given to this condition.External stress and inflammation synergize to damage blood vessel and brain functions,induce immune disorders,cause microglia activation,and increase the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and their receptors.Inflammatory reactions continue to escalate,which affects the normal metabolism and metabolism of the neurotransmitter system.The abnormal functioning of molecular pathways leads to mutations in brain cell and nerve genes,and further formation of the immune-inflammation-neuron cycle pathway becomes an important mechanism in the occurrence and development of depression.A large number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicines can improve depression symptoms by restoring neuroimmune inflammation homeostasis.This article explains neuroimmune inflammation's close connection with depression and its pathogenesis and reviews the role of various traditional Chinese medical therapies in improving and treating depression by participating in the regulation of neuroimmune inflammation.This review provides new perspectives on the precise treatment of depression and the development of immune-targeted drugs.

In order to study the biological characteristics and whole-genome sequence of Streptococ-cus equi,a sheep-derived Streptococcus equi preserved in our laboratory was subjected to recovery,biochemical experiments,drug susceptibility tests and animal experiments,and followed by whole genome sequencing and annotation of the gene functions of the genome by using the biogenetic da-tabase.The biochemical identification results showed that this strain could ferment sugars,but the results of nitrate,catalase,V-P test,and M-R test were negative;the drug susceptibility test results showed that this strain was highly sensitive to most antibiotics and was resistant to kanaphylaxis.It was resistant to amikacin and amikacin;animal experiments showed that the lethality rate of this strain to mice was 100％,and the median lethal dose of this strain was measured to be 4.86X 106 CFU/kg.According to the pathological section results of mice,it showed that the lungs,liver,kidneys,and spleen all had varying degrees of lesions.The whole genome sequencing results showed that the total genome length of this strain is 2 272 497 bp,the G+C content was 41.1％,and it was predicted to contain 2 124 CDS regions.The RNA prediction results showed that the number of rRNA and tRNA was 15,and the number of tRNA was 57.There were four prophages and gene islands,and there were 362 pathogenicity-related genes in the VFDB database without CRISPR sequences.This study analyzed the complete genome of Streptococcus equi derived from sheep,and also provided a theoretical basis for the treatment,prevention and control of the disease.
