Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease. It got its nickname, the moyamoya disease, because the image of abnormal blood vascular net at the skull base in the encephaloangiography of such patients is very similar to smog. The moyamoya disease can be divided into two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic according to its clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics. In the ischemic type of moyamoya disease, when the blood vascular lumens are not narrow enough to completely block the blood flow, the chief manifestation is the cerebral blood circulation insufficiency; when the salvage is not in time, the disease will further progress to develop vascular obstruction or thrombosis, resulting in cerebral infarction, finally hemiplegia, aphasia, etc. irreversible symptoms and signs occur. In the primary hospital, the first choice for treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) is drug thrombolysis. However, the main treatment for moyamoya disease with ACI is chiefly revascularization. This article reported a patient with moyamoya disease and ACI successfully treated by intravenous reteplase for thrombolysis in People's Hospital of Pucheng County.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of children with EV71 positive hand,foot,and mouth disease(HFMD)and EV71 vaccination,and to explore the relationship between the occurrence of severe disease and the preventive effect of EV71 vaccine.Methods From January 1,2020 to December 31,2022,the clinical data of 131 children with HFMD diagnosed with EV71 infection in Kunming Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The stool samples of patients with clinically confirmed HFMD were selected for enterovirus nucleic acid detection.The clinical data and EV71 vaccination status of children with universal enterovirus positive and EV71 positive HFMD were analyzed.Results Among the 131 positive cases detected,there were 116 mild cases and 15 severe cases.Among the 80 children who received phone consultations about their EV71 vaccine status,17 were vaccinated,and 63 were not vaccinated.The vaccinated children were all mild cases,while among the unvaccinated children,6 were severe cases.From 2020 to 2022,the period from April to September each year is the peak period for detecting EV71-positive hand,foot,and mouth disease(χ2 = 125.705,P = 0.000).The positive detection rate for children under 1 year old and over 5 years old was higher than that for children aged 1 to 5 years(χ2 = 8.765,P = 0.033),and there was no significant difference in the positive detection rate between boys and girls(χ2 = 1.221,P = 0.269).Conclusion EV71 vaccine is of great significance in reducing the occurrence of severe cases.Combined with the current low vaccination rate in Kunming,Yunnan Province,it is suggested that relevant institutions should continue to increase the publicity of EV71 vaccination.

Objective:To explore the role of digital three-dimensional printing technology and multifunctional occlusal splint in the treatment of mandibular fracture in children.Methods:From January 2006 to January 2022, 42 children with mandibular fracture were treated by Department of Stomatology, in The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, including 25 males and 17 females. The patients, aged from 4 to 12 years, with the median age was 10 years old, were divided into observation group (22 cases) and routine group (20 cases) according to the treatment methods. In the observation group, the multifunctional occlusal splint was made before operation, and the CT data of the children were imported into Mimics software in".dicom"format, and the displaced mandible was virtually reset. The jaw reduction model was made by three-dimensional printing, and the surgical operation was simulated on the reduction model to determine the model and position of the internal fixation device and shape it. During the operation, the fracture was reduced and fixed according to the preoperative design. The conventional group was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fracture by traditional methods, and the clinical application value was compared and analyzed through the intraoperative situation, occlusal relationship, and follow-up of the two groups.Results:The total intraoperative bleeding volume [(30.25±4.02) ml] and surgical time [(64.3±9.2) min] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group [(35.13±5.69) ml and (84.6±13.9) min, respectively] ( F=6.18, P=0.003; F=1.32, P=0.001). The excellent and good rate of occlusal relationship in the observation group [96% (21/22)] was significantly higher than that in the conventional group [85% (17/20)] ( F=4.27, P=0.039). The incidence of complications, the observation group, 1 case of poor occlusion, 1 case of postoperative infection; In the routine group, there were 3 cases with poor occlusion, 1 case with nerve injury, 1 case with root injury and 1 case with tooth germ injury. Conclusions:The application of digitization three-dimensional printing technology combined with multifunctional occlusal splint in children′s mandibular fracture is minimally invasive, safe, efficient and accurate, and the clinical effect is good.

Objective To observe the feasibility of 5.0T MR for cardiac imaging.Methods Three patients with heart diseases and 17 healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled.Cardiac MR(CMR)cine sequence and black blood sequence imaging were performed using 5.0T and 3.0T MR scanner,respectively.The image quality and artifacts degrees were compared between 5.0T and 3.0T CMR images,and the consistency of left ventricular parameters obtained using 5.0T and 3.0T scanners was analyzed.Results No significant difference of image quality nor artifacts degrees was found between 5.0T and 3.0T CMR images(all P>0.05).The left ventricular end diastolic volume(EDV),end systolic volume(ESV),ejection fraction(EF),stroke volume(SV)and end diastolic mass(EDM)derived from cine images acquired at different fields were in a good agreement(all ICC>0.75,all P<0.001).Conclusion 5.0T MR could be used for cardiac imaging,with image quality of cine and black blood sequences comparable to that of 3.0T MR.

Background Long-term occupational polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure is an important risk factor for cognitive impairment. At the same time, it can also cause a decrease of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). However, it is not clear whether BDNF plays a key role in the cognitive impairment of workers caused by occupational PAHs exposure. Objective To analyze the correlation between the levels of PAHs in the plasma of coke oven workers and cognitive impairment, and to explore the possible mediating effect of plasma BDNF level on the relationship between PAHs and cognitive impairment. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out to select 138 pairs of workers from a coking plant (exposure group) and an energy plant (control group) in a large enterprise in Taiyuan, and the matching variables included age, education level and smoking status. The basic data of the workers were collected by questionnaire. The cognitive function of the workers was assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale. Fasting elbow venous blood was collected, the plasma concentrations of 16 PAHs were determined by high performance gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the plasma concentration of BDNF was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between 12 PAHs levels in plasma and MoCA scores, and Bootstrap method was used to analyze the mediating effect of BDNF in the relationship between these two indicators. Results The average (
