Objective To observe the changes of cerebrovascular hemodynamic index(CVHI) in atherosclerotic rabbits. Methods Twenty male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two group: Twelve were atherosclerosis model (AS) group and eight were control group. Atherosclerosis model group were fed with high fat diet and control group were fed with ordinary diet. At 12th week, CVHI were measured in the common carotid artery with spectral analysis and the compliance of carotid was observed. Results In the AS group, the carotid artery maximal velocity (vmax) and minimal velocity (vmin) were significantly decreased (P

Objective To explore the status of nuclear power plant operators in mental health and its correlation with emotional stability,liveliness,anxiety and urgency.Methods 255 male operators were randomly selected from three nuclear power bases,meanwhile 61 undergraduates were used as control group.The mental health and neurobehavioral evaluation system of Chinese nuclear power plant operators was developed by Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,which was used to assess mental health of the subjects.The scores of mental health personality factors were recorded,together with four main personality factors including emotional stability,liveliness,anxiety and urgency.Results The score of lie was lower than 8 which showed all inspected groups were normal. 1.57% (4/255) operators had psychological disorders,3.92% ( 10/255 ) had poor mental health,27.84% ( 71/255 ) had general mental health,66.7% (170/255) had excellent mental health,whereas 9.84% (6/61)for control group had psychological disorders.Obvious difference was observed in the final scores between the nuclear power plant operators and control group.The former gained higher scores on mental health,emotional stability,and lower scores on anxiety and urgency ( t =3.437,4.423,- 2.493,- 2.093,P < 0.05 ).Both groups aged over 27 years and with length of service over 5 years were awarded higher scores on mental health,emotional stability( t =2.585,2.349 ; t =2.606,2.947,P < 0.05 ),lower scores on anxiety and urgency (t =- 3.407,- 2.138 ; t =- 2.941,- 2.256,P < 0.05).The mental health was positively correlated with emotional stability and liveliness ( r =0.721,0.650,P < 0.05),but negatively correlated with anxiety and urgency(r =- 0.809,- 0.693,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions The majority of nuclear power plant operators had excellent psychological quality,but some factors should be paid more attention,such as different ages and length of service time.

Objective To explore the feasibility of tibial nerve motor branches transfer to the deep fibular nerve in an anatomical study.Methods Twenty-three sides lower limbs from 12 adult cadavers which preserved in Formalin were used for dissection of the tibial nerve and its all motor branches,and the proximal deep and superficial fibular nerve.Experimental measurement were performed for the parameters of each branch such as length,diameter,the location of original point relative to the level of the fibular head.The diameter of proximal part of the deep fibular nerve was measured simultaneously.Finally,the length from original point of each branch to the fibular neck was also measured during simulation of nerve transfer procedure.Results The average length of motor branches to the flexor digitorum longus muscle,to the flexor hallucis longus muscle and the superficial branches to the soleus muscle were (95.70 ± 13.40)mm,(96.90± 13.60)mm and (73.60 ± 12.00)mm respectively.Their average diameter were (0.63 ± 0.16)mm,(0.65 ±0.20)mm and ( 1.56 ± 0.26)mm respectively.The average diameter of proximal deep fibular nerve was (2.54± 0.26)mm.Based on length,branches to the flexor digitorum longus muscle and flexor hallucis longus muscle were adequate for direct nerve transfer to the deep fibular nerve in all specimens without interpositional grafr.And in 22 specimens (95.7 percent),the superficial branches to the soleus muscle were long enough to directly transfer.Other branches of the tibial nerve were not adequate for direct nerve transfer Conclusion This study confirmed the anatomical feasibility of using motor branches from tibial nerve for direct transfer to restore the deep fibular nerve.The superficial branches to soleus muscle were the best donor nerve if considering the branches,length,diameter and the difficulty of surgical procedures.

Objective To explore the correlation of the anti-stress ability of nuclear power plant operators with their heart rate,blood pressure and mental health.Methods A total of 136 male nuclear power plant operators received the continuous performance test (CPT) and mental health test (MHT),while 37 male senior students were used as the control group.Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded before and after the test.The nuclear power plant operators were divided to high score group and low score group by CPT scores.The correlation of the anti-stress ability and blood pressure,heart rate and their mental health was analyzedd.Results The scores of CPT and MHT test with the operators were significantly higher than those of the control group(t =- 1.25,6.25,P < 0.05).After the test,the heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of the operators were all significantly lower than those of the control group ( t =- 2.07,3.28,2.74,P < 0.05 ).The CPT score of the high score group was lower in the heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure than the low score group(t=-3.15, -2.78, -2.54,P <0.05),while the scores of CPT and MHT were better(t =0.63,6.90,P < 0.05).CPT scores were negatively correlated with the increasing range of the heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure( r =- 0.69,- 0.94,and - 0.62,P < 0.05 ),and positively correlated with the MHT scores ( r =0.54,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions To a certain extent,CPT and MHT test can reflect the anti-stress ability and be used as one of the bases to select nuclear power plant operators and to assess their competence.

Objective To investigate the quantitative evaluation efficiency of gadolinium?ethoxybenzyl?diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd?EOB?DTPA) enhanced T1 mapping in staging hepatic fibrosis caused by viral hepatitis B. Methods One hundred and fifty patients with chronic hepatitis B were prospectively enrolled in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, Fudan University from August 2016 to August 2018.These patients underwent liver aspiration biopsy were divided into four subgroups: S1 (n=38), S2 (n=30), S3 (n=33), S4 (n=49) according to Scheuer?Ludwig scoring system. Non?enhanced and Gd?EOB?DTPA?enhanced MRI were performed in all subjects. Look?Locker sequences were performed to acquire T1 mapping of pre and post?contrast at 20 minutes after Gd?EOB?DTPA administration. The T1 value after 20 minutes of Gd?EOB?DTPA administration (T1 20 min), the reduction rate of T1 value (ΔT1 20 min% ), the increase of 1/T1 value (ΔR1 20 min% ) were measured and calculated. The one?way ANOVA was applied to compare the difference in T1 20 min, ΔT1 20 min%, ΔR1 20 min% of various fibrosis stages. ROC curves were used to assess the efficacy of T1 20 min, ΔT1 20 min%, ΔR1 20 min% for diagnosing≥S2,≥S3,≥S4. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results The T1 20 min raised with fibrosis stage increased, ΔT1 20 min% and ΔR1 20 min% reduced with fibrosis stage increased. Areas under the curves of T1 20 min, ΔT1 20 min%, ΔR1 20 min% for diagnosing≥S2 were 0.844, 0.905, 0.869; and diagnosing≥S3 were 0.832, 0.907, 0.862; and diagnosing≥S4 were 0.853, 0.897, 0.873, respectively. The diagnostic efficiency of ΔT1 20 min% was the best. Conclusion Gd?EOB?DTPA?enhanced T1 mapping could be regarded as a reliable diagnostic tool for the evaluation of hepatic fibrosis caused by viral hepatitis B.
