OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of Sennae Folium combined with mannitol for bowel cleaning on multi-slice spiral CT bowel imaging. METHODS:52 patients receiving multi-slice spiral CT imaging examination in our hospital during Jun. 2011 to Jun. 2012 were collected retrospectively,and then divided into control group(22 cases)and observation group(30 cases) according to the methods of bowel preparation. Both groups fasted for 12 h before examination. Sennae Folium 20 g soaked in boiled water 500 ml for half an hour was given to patients in control group 12 h before examination,and then was soaked in boiled water 500 ml again for drinking and other pure water 1 000 ml was also given to patients. Sennae Folium 10 g soaked in boiled wa-ter 500 ml was given to patients in observation group 1 d before examination and 2 h after breakfast;soaked in boiled water 500 ml again 2 h after lunch;10% mannitol 500 ml and pure water 1 000 ml were given to patients after supper. Both groups received multi-slice spiral CT bowel imaging until the patients defecated watery stool after medication. The effective rate of bowl cleaning, image quality and the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The effective rate of bowel cleaning was 100% in observation group,which was significantly higher than that of control group(81.82%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). The excellent and good rate of imaging quality was 96.67% in observation group,which was significantly better than that of control group(81.82%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). The incidence of ADR as abdominal distension,nausea,intestinal mucosa damage in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Sennae Folium combined with mannitol is effective method to prepare enteric multi-slice spiral CT imaging exam-ination,and perform good bowl cleaning effect,high image quality and low incidence of ADR.

ObjectiveTo assess the relationship between the location,quantity and leukodystrophy of cerebral infarction and vascular cognitive impairment ( VCI ),and to compare the differences of the severity and domains of cognitive impairment among the different types of cerebral infarction,which will provide the pathophysiological evidence to the mechanism for the development of VCI. MethodThe patients suffering from cerebral infarction or leukodystrophy were recruited from either the ward or clinic in Tianjin General Hospital from April 2009 to April 2010,then assessed the cognition,and classified into different groups according to the location,size,quantity,whether or not they have leukodystrophy and the severity.The Logistic regression analysis was taken with whether or not the patients have had developed to the VCI as the dependent variable,and with the location,size,quantity,whether or not they have leukodystrophy and the severity as the independent variables.The differences of the score of NIHSS,Bathel index and the level of cognitive impairment were compared among patients with different types of lesions.Moreover,the difference of the score of MoCA for each cognitive domain were compared among patients with different types of lesions.ResultsThere was a relationship between key position infarction in the subcortex and white leukodystrophy with VCI.The position infarction in the subcortex and white leukodystrophy ( grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ ) might be the independent risk factors for the VCI( OR =1.752,2.135,3.753; 95% CI 1.533-3.821,1.541-6.787,1.432-6.821,all P <0.05).There were significant differences in the domains of excusive ability,attention,calculation,fluent language and orientation.The average scores of the domain of excusive ability in the subcortical group (3.40 ± 1.90) and the mix group (3.83 ± 1.27) were significantly lower than the cortical disease group(4.28 ± 0.89,t =0.050,0.857,both P < 0.05 ).The average scores of the domains of attention,calculation,fluent and orientation in the mix group were significantly lower than the subcortical group and cortical disease group.ConclusionsThere is a significant association of the key infarction in the subcortex and leukodystrophy with VCI.The patients with both the subcortex infarction and leukodystrophy are susceptible to VCI.The development of VCI is depended on the position of infarction instead of the quantity and size of infarction.The development of VCI is not only related to the white matter disease but also related to the severity of the leukodystrophy.The data highlights the need to small vessel disease.The patients with subcortical lesions mainly impair the executive ability.The patients with mix lesions may have more extensive domains and more severe cognitive impairment.

Objective A series of 5 patients with central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) confirmed either by cranial MRI,CT image (4 cases) or by autopsy pathological analysis (1 case) was reported. The pathophysiological mechanism,the early diagnosis and the role in prevention were discussed. Methods The creteria obtained from clinical features, cranial MRI and CT imagine as well as autopsy pathological changes were thoroughly analyzed. Results ① All 5 case of CPM were occurring in patients who had already had somatic disease and serious systemic functional failure, especially in those who had had seriously water and ion disturbances, such as hyponatremia. ② In 4 of the 5 patients, psychiatric manifestation tended to show the earliest clinical features. ③ The pseudobulbaral paralysis appeared in 4 patients. ④ Cranial MRI and CT served as the most reliable techniques for diagnosing CPM cases when patients are still alive. ⑤ A variety of paralysis were found in all of the 5 CPM patients. ⑥Pathological analysis demonstrated that there is a symmetric unspecific myelinolysis in areas of basal pontine, caudal middle brain and the superior medulla (1 patient). Conclusion ① The occurrence of hyponatrimia and its too fast correction may be associated with the onset of CPM. ② CPM, a self-restrained disease can be cured from dangerous complications, such as pneumonia, respiratory failure and malnutrition when suitably treated.
