Objective To assess the value of susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in the diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage. Methods Forty patients with intracranial hemorrhage underwent MRI scanning (GE Signa HDe 1.5 T), which included T2WI, T1WI, T2 * WI and SWI. Of them, DWI was conducted in 37 cases and enhanced MRI was conducted in 10 cases additionally. After post processing on the workstation, both magnitude and phase images of SWI were acquired for further analysis. The images of all sequences were scored from 1 to 3, according to their ability of depicting the lesions. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the scores among these sequences. Results On SWI, the scores in detecting the lesions, their margin and adjacent veins were 2. 8, 2. 8, and 2. 8 respectively. The scores of those were 1.8, 1.7,and 0.0 on T1WI, 2.3, 2.0 and 0.0 on T2WI, 2.0, 2.1 and 0.2 on T2* WI, respectively. There was statistical difference between the scores on SWI and those on T1WI, T2 WI and T2 * WI ( P < 0. 01 ). The numbers of micro hemorrhagic lesions that could be observed on SWI, T1WI, T2WI, DWI and T2 *WI were 402, 55, 61, 84 and 188 respectively. There was statistical difference in showing micro hemorrhagic lesions between SWI and T1WI, T2WI, DWI, T2 * WI (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion SWI is sensitive to visualize the hemorrhagic region, and has predominant advantage over conventional MR sequences including T2 * WI in detecting intracranial hemorrhage, especially cerebral microbleeding. According to the features of the paramagnetic and diamagnetic lesions, radiologists can differentiate hemorrhage and calcification with phase images.

BACKGROUND:Anterior cervical plate can maximize the intervertebral space height,expand intervertebral foramen,restore cervical physiological antecurvature,prevent instability due to implant micromovement,and increase graft fusion.However,the selection of entire autologous bone or Ti-mesh bone graft remains uncertain in application of anterior cervical plate.OBJECTIVE:To compare the complications of three different intervertebral fusion methods in anterior cervical decompression surgery.METHODS:A total of 92 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated by anterior cervical decompression and three different intervertebral fusion methods.They were followed up for at least 3 months.Of them,6 underwent bone grafting alone,21 underwent autogenous bone graft with cervical plate-screw fixation,and 65 underwent pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation.Complications were observed in all cases.RESULTS AND CONCLUSLON:A total of 2 of 6 autogenous bone grafting cases suffered from graft bone dislocation,1 suffered from pseudoarthrosis formation,and 1 suffered from donated ilium.Six of 21 autogenous bone graft with cervical plate-screw fixation suffered from loss of intervertebral height,and 3 suffered from pain of donated ilium.Eleven of 65 pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation suffered from titanium mesh subsidence,1 case suffered from breakage of fixation screw.Simple autogenous bone grafting surgery was rarely used due to long duration of external fixation and too much complications.Autogenous bone grafting with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation surgery has shortage of grafted bone absorption and pain of donated ilium.Pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation surgery overcomes the shortage of donated iliac pain,but remains the shortage of titanium mesh subsidence and lose of intervertebral height.

Objective To determine the correlation between high serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy), low folate and
vitamin B12 levels and the clinical index of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), providing the reference for the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal patients with HIE. Methods Totally 94 cases of neonatal patients with HIE (32 mild, 40 moderate, and 22 severe) treated by Tianjin children’s hospital from April 2010 to April 2011 were enrolled. The control group was 20 cases of neonatal patients with neonatal swallowing syndrome at the same period. The serum levels of Hcy, folate and vitamin B12 were compared between four groups. Results There were significant differences in serum levels of Hcy, folate and vitamin B12 between four groups (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, there was higher level of Hcy and lower levels of folate and vitamin B12 in HIE groups. The Hcy levels increased with the deterioration of HIE in three HIE groups. The serum level of vitamin B12 was significantly lower in severe group than that in moderate group (P<0.05). Conclusion The serum Hcy level has certain reference value in tassessment of the severity of HIE. The supplementation of folate and vitamin B12 may play an active role in the process of the treatment in neonatal patients with HIE.
