As a new neuroimaging method, functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) with its importance of data processing has been widely recognized by neurology and cognitive psychology. Focusing on the realignment section in fMRI image preprocessing, this paper comprehensively describes the registration principle of SPM, an internationally-known software package which is specially designed for cerebral function imaging. An improved registration method is presented which effectively increases the accuracy. In addition, choosing the ratio of SSD and NMI as the registration measure can compensate for the limitation of using single measurement, which improves the robustness and reliability of the registration process. Experimental results prove the feasibility of this method.

AIM: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and stability of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens ( ICL ) implanation and clear lens extraction for the correction of high myopia.
METHODS: The study enrolled 56 cases ( 100 eyes ) of high myopia. Group I comprised 32 cases ( 58 eyes ) receiving ICL implantation and Group II comprised 24 cases (42 eyes) undergoing clear lens extraction. In this study, we evaluated the two groups of subject's the visual and refractive results, intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , endothelial cell density ( ECD ) , anterior chamber depth ( ACD) , lens transparency, the surgical complications as well as visual adverse symptoms before and after surgery.
RESULTS: The postoperative subjects in group I and group II were followed, uncorrected vision acuity ( UCVA)>0. 5 were 69. 0% in group I and 71. 4% in group II after 3mo. UCVA>0. 5 were 72. 4% in group I and 73. 8% in group II after 1a. Predictability of the manifest spherical equivalent refraction within±1. 00D was achieved in 62. 1%of eyes in group I and 57. 1% in group II after 1a. The central vault of the ICL ( distance from posterior surface of ICL to the crystalline lens ) measured with anterior segment optical coherence tomography ( AS-OCT ) was 0. 35-0. 54 (0. 40±0. 16) mm. Twelve point one percent of eyes in group I and 7. 1% of eyes in group II had transient mild increase in IOP. Here were statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative ECD (P<0. 001 ). Complications of surgery: 1 eye had ICL spontaneous rotation, 2 eyes had anterior subcapsular cataract, 4 eyes noticed halos around lights at night in group I. Three eyes had posterior capsule mild opacification, 3 eyes noticed halos around lights at night, 12 eyes had difficulty in near vision in group II.
CONCLUSION: ICL implantation and clear lens extraction are effective, safe and predictable surgical option for the management of high myopia. No severe complications occurred, but its long time effect and safety still need more time to prove.

[Summary] To determine how endocrinologists in China access and treat patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) and gain insight on how to make the management of this disease more uniform and standardized in the context that management of GO continues to be challenging.Based on the questionnaire used in the European survey on GO,a questionnaire in Chinese was drafted and circulated to the members of Chinese Society of Endocrinology (CSE).There were a total of 124 valid responders.The majority (94.4%) of the responders believe that a muhidisciplinary approaches for GO management is valuable.Over 80% of the participants advocated the evaluation of exophthalmometry,vision,visual fields by perimetry,eye movements,fundoscopy,TSH receptor antibodies,thyroid function,and ultrasound.Steroids were preferred as the first-line therapy by 92.7% of responders,among them,59.7% choose intravenous route.The treatment strategy for GO with intravenous glucocorticoids therapy still remains debated.Antithyroid drugs were the most common choice (72.6%) for first-line therapy of thyrotoxicosis.Treatment options for GO were very similar among Chinese,Latin-American,and European responders,though radioactive iodine and surgical treatment were more often indicated in China.The appropriate treatment of the patient with GO is controversial even amongst thyroid specialists.Further training of clinicians,easier access of patients to specialist multidisciplinary centres,and the publication of practice guidelines may help improving the management of this condition in China.

Objectives:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and identify the risk factors for death.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients undergoing ECPR admitted to our hospital and Hangzhou First People's Hospital from September 2014 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the survival group and the death group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared to explore the risk factors related to death. COX regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for death.Results:Sixty patients undergoing ECPR were included in our study, of them, 16 (26.7%) cases were out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and 44 (73.3%) cases were in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). The mortality of OHCA patients was higher than that of IHCA patients (87.5% vs. 56.89%, P < 0.05), and the duration from CPR to ECMO installation in the death group was longer than that in the survival group [(105.4±105.1) min vs. (53.0±28.5) min, P < 0.05]. Compared with the survival group, patients in the death group had higher troponin and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and lower PH and lactate ( P < 0.05). The median survival time of the 60 patients was 42 days. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, high SOFA score before ECMO, high-dose norepinephrine, pulmonary infection during ECMO support and long ECMO support time were independent predictors of patients’ death. Conclusions:Risk factors associated with patients’ death undergoing ECPR are out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, high SOFA score before ECMO, high-dose norepinephrine, long duration from CPR to ECMO installation, pulmonary infection during ECMO support and long ECMO support time.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of severe hemolysis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods The clinical data of adult patients undergoing ECMO after cardiac surgery admitted to Fuwai Hospital from December 2010 to October 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, renal function, primary disease, operation data, ECMO related data and outcomes were recorded. Patients were divided into normal free hemoglobin (FHB) group (FHB ≤ 500 mg/L) and severe hemolysis group (FHB > 500 mg/L) according to the FHB level during ECMO support. The parameters before and after ECMO support were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to identify the independent risk factors of severe hemolysis. Results A total of 81 patients including 19 patients with severe hemolysis was enrolled, and 62 in normal FHB group. There was no difference in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, clamping time, lactate level before ECMO, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intra-aortic balloon pump use and central catheter insertion between two groups. The maximums of serum creatinine (SCr) and FHB levels were higher in severe hemolysis group as compared with those in normal FHB group [maximal SCr (μmol/L): 281.02±164.11 vs. 196.67±87.31, maximal FHB (mg/L): 600 (600, 700) vs. 200 (100, 300)], the incidence of clots in circuit or oxygenator, infection, and hemofiltration in severe hemolysis group was increased [26.3% (5/19) vs. 4.8% (3/62), 31.6% (6/19) vs. 12.9% (8/62), 36.8% (7/19) vs. 14.5% (9/62), all P < 0.1]. As well as outcomes including the rate of site of surgery or intubation bleeding and acute renal failure [ARF, 57.9 % (11/19) vs. 30.6% (19/62), 94.7% (18/19) vs. 41.9% (26/62)], and the survival rate was lowered [10.5% (2/19) vs. 51.6% (32/62), all P < 0.05]. As result of univariate analysis, clots in circuit or oxygenator, infection and hemofiltration were associated with severe hemolysis. It was showed by logistic regression analysis that the clots in circuit or oxygenator was a risk factor of severe hemolysis during ECMO [odds ratio (OR) = 6.262, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.244-31.515, P = 0.026]. Conclusions The clots in circuit or oxygenator were independent risk factors of severe hemolysis during ECMO. Severe hemolysis can induce the increase of the rate of bleeding in the operation site or intubation and the rate of ARF, and decrease of the survival rate.
