Objective:To investigate the imaging and clinical feature of leukoencephalopathy with hearing loss first complaint.Method:The head MRI and clinical feature of 7 cases leukoencephalopathy with hearing loss first complaint were retrospectively analysed,including their place,shape,range and blood plasma very-long-chain fatty acid(VLCFA).Result:The head MRI of 2 cases shows symmetry distributed long T_1 and T_2 signal like butterfly aliform in white matter beside both cornu posterious ventriculi lateralis.The head MRI of 5 cases shows abnormal long T_1 and T_2 signal in different part in Alba.The pathological changes often located in white matter of frontal lobe and secondly beside both eornu posterious ventriculi lateralis.The shape shows little patching in 7 cases.The range only shows beside cornu posterious ventriculi lateralis in 2 cases.The range only shows in frontal lobe in 1 cases.Two or more than two parts shows in the rest 5 cases.The result of VLCFA is normal in 3 cases.The rest 4 cases refused to have examination of VLCFA. Conclusion:The patient who firstly complained of hearing loss should be routinely done head MRI.The head MRI imaging could clearly show abnormal white matter in order to avoid omitting existent pathological changes.

Objective To study the relationship between the asthenia TCM syndromes in embryonic development stops and the level of zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium in serum, and provide thoughts for assisting reproduction and preventing miscarriage. Methods Totally 100 patients of embryonic development stops were selected randomly (6-10 weeks gestation) to be the investigated group, with other 100 cases of live fetus as the control group. The contents of trace elements in serum were detected with atomic absorption spectrometry. Results The levels of trace elements in embryonic development stops patients were generally lower than the control group. The serum iron in patients with spleen deficiency syndrome, and serum zinc and iron in patients with kidney deficiency syndrome were significant lower (P<0.05). Conclusion The contents of trace elements in serum have relationships with asthenia TCM syndromes in embryonic development stops. It should be paid attention to supplementing trace elements during the gestation period. For patients with deficiency of kidney and spleen, the supplement of zinc and iron should be given greater prominence.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the imaging and clinical feature of leukoencephalopathy with hearing loss first complaint.
METHOD:
The head MRI and clinical feature of 7 cases leukoencephalopathy with hearing loss first complaint were retrospectively analysed, including their place, shape, range and blood plasma very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA).
RESULT:
The head MRI of 2 cases shows symmetry distributed long T, and T2 signal like butterfly aliform in white matter beside both cornu posterior ventriculi lateralis. The head MRI of 5 cases shows abnormal long T1 and T2 signal in different part in Alba. The pathological changes often located in white matter of frontal lobe and secondly beside both cornu posterior ventriculi lateralis. The shape shows little patching in 7 cases. The range only shows beside cornu posterior ventriculi lateralis in 2 cases. The range only shows in frontal lobe in 1 cases. Two or more than two parts shows in the rest 5 cases. The result of VLCFA is normal in 3 cases. The rest 4 cases refused to have examination of VLCFA.
CONCLUSION
The patient who firstly complained of hearing loss should be routinely done head MRI. The head MRI imaging could clearly show abnormal white matter in order to avoid omitting existent pathological changes.
