Objective To observe the influence of edaravone on the cognitive ability in patients with vascular dementia(VD).Methods 70 cases with mild to moderate VD were randomly divided into observation group( edaravone treatment) and control group( piracetarn treatment),35 cases in each group.Treatment cycle was two weeks.The scores of MMSE,CDT,MoCA were compared before and after treatment between the two groups.Results The scores were found to be significantly higher after use edaravone in the observation group ( t =4.21,1.45,12.37,all P ＜0.05 ).The score had no difference before and after treatment in the control group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Edaravone could improve cognitive abilitys in VD patients through its function of anti-oxidant and free-radical scavenging.

Objective To explore the value of electroencephalogram (EEG) in children with headache.Methods 180 children with headache were carried out EEG recording,and the electrical activity of the brain was recorded and analyzed.Results In 180 cases of children,EEG was normal in 56 cases,abnormalities in 124 cases,the abnormal rate was 68.89％.The mild abnormalities was 78 cases,in a proportion to 43.33％ in the total record:moderate abnormalities was 14 cases,in a proportion to 7.78％ in the total reccrd;high-grede,abnormalities was 2 cases,in a proportion to 1.11％ ;5 patients was in critical state,in a proportion to 2.78％ ;epileptiform activity was 25 cases,in a proportion to 13.89％.97 normal cases with intermittent headache,abnormal rate was 46.1 1％,which was significantly lower than the attack headache ( x2 =15.16,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Headache in children with EEG examination had important significance.

Objective:To analyze the application and funding status of various projects of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) from 2013 to 2022, and explore the challenges faced by basic research and clinical transformation in this field.Methods:From 2013 to 2022, application and funding information of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging projects (secondary code H2704, H2706) from five departments of Medical Science Department of NSFC were retrospectively collected. The number of applications, number of funding, funding direction, funding intensity, distribution of supporting units and research hotspots of various projects in this field were analyzed.Results:From 2013 to 2022, the total number of applications of various projects in the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging reached 5 387, and the total number of grants reached 899. The number of applications and grants showed a steady growth trend. The overall funding intensity increased from 48.935 0 million yuan in 2013 to 59.495 4 million yuan in 2022, with the increase of 21.58%. Among all supporting units, Shanghai Jiao Tong University topped the list for both the number of applications (440) and the number of grants (82), Xiamen University ranked the first in terms of overall funding rate (25.42%, 30/118), and Peking University ranked the first in terms of total funding intensity (41.897 1 million yuan). Research hotspots focused on the construction of tumor targeted molecular probes and precise imaging of tumor internal molecular components.Conclusion:In the past decade, the number of related projects and total funding of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging supported by NSFC have steadily increased, and the types of funded projects are diverse and interdisciplinary, promoting the innovative development of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging disciplines in China.

Objective:To explore the value of quantitative parameters of cortical and cancellous bone in the first lumbar vertebrae (L1) based on CT spinal bone quantification system for evaluating the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in males.Methods:A total of 88 male patients with COPD diagnosed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from August 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the 2023 edition of global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD), the patients were classified as GOLD Ⅰ (29 cases), GOLD Ⅱ (36 cases), and GOLD Ⅲ-Ⅳ (23 cases). And then 29 males with normal lung function during the same period were recruited. People with normal lung function and COPD patients of GOLD Ⅰ-Ⅱ were classified as non-severe COPD group (94 cases), COPD patients of GOLD Ⅲ-Ⅳ were classified into the severe COPD group (23 cases). On the CT images of L1, the CT spine bone quantification system was used to automatically segment cortical and cancellous bone. The total volume, cortical volume, cancellous volume, average cortical thickness, cortical bone average CT value and cancellous bone average CT value of L1 vertebral body were measured using the system respectively. Single factor analysis of variance was used to compare the differences of various parameters among normal lung function and COPD patients with different lung function grades. The efficacy of various parameters in evaluating the severity of COPD were calculated using the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:The overall differences in L1 vertebral total volume, cancellous volume and cortical bone average CT value among people with normal lung function and COPD patients of GOLD Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ-Ⅳ were statistically significant ( F=3.60, 4.26, 5.39, P=0.016, 0.007, 0.002), and showed a downward trend as the severity of COPD progressed. There were no statistically significant difference in cortical volume, average cortical thickness and cancellous bone average CT value of L1 ( P>0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) for distinguishing severe and non-severe COPD was 0.64 (95%CI 0.54-0.72), 0.65 (95%CI 0.56-0.74) and 0.75 (95%CI 0.66-0.83) for the total vertebral volume, cancellous volume and cortical bone average CT value of L1 respectively. The AUC of cortical bone average CT value was the highest, with a cutoff value of 217 HU/mm 3, a sensitivity of 69.6% and a specificity of 80.9%. Conclusion:Male COPD patients have reduced bone mass compared to the same age male population. The L1 quantitative parameters measured based on the CT spinal bone quantification system can effectively evaluate the severity of lung function in male COPD patients. Among them, the cortical bone average CT value has the highest diagnostic efficacy.
