Objective To investigate the value of blood oxygenation level dependent(BOLD)fMRI in assessing the functional changes of the lumbar dorsal extensor muscles before and after exercise in healthy young people.Methods The changes of the R2*value of lumbar dorsal extensor group in 30 healthy young volunteers(15 males and 15 females)before and after exercise was prospectively studied.BOLD-fMRI scans were performed on healthy young volunteers before and after exercise, the exercise mode was to perform the upper body flexion and extension movement with a simple Rome stool.The scanned images were processed and analyzed, the cross-sectional area and R2* value of the lumbar dorsal extensor muscles (including the multifidus,the longissimus and the iliocostalis)were measured at the upper margin of the L3 and L4 vertebral body before and after exercise.The paired t test was used to compare CSA and R2*values of muscles before and after loading. The CSA and R2* value of different muscles in different sides were compared by independent sample t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relevance between CSA and R2* in muscle before and after exercise. Results After exercise, the R2* values of multifidus,longissimus and iliocostalis at the upper margin of the L4 vertebral body were[(39.2±8.6),(38.9± 7.7),(41.6±7.8)]Hz,significantly lower than before exercise[(46.1±6.9),(45.3±6.2),(46.0±6.7)]Hz(P<0.01);the changes of R2*values of the muscles between the left and right sides before and after the movements were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The R2*values of longissimus and iliocostalis at the upper margin of the L3 vertebral body were[(44.2±9.1),(46.6±9.3)]Hz,significantly lower than before exercise[(48.6±7.2),(49.7± 6.8)]Hz (P<0.01), but the R2* values of multifidus after loading was (43.9 ± 9.0)Hz, there was no statistical difference compared with before exercise (46.8 ± 6.6)Hz (P>0.05);there was a significant difference in the changes of R2*value before and after the movement between the left and right side of iliocostalis(P<0.05).A significant negative correlation between CSA and R2*value was found in the iliocostalis on the right side at the upper margin of L3 vertebral body and in the multifidus on the left side at the upper margin of L4 vertebral body,and the correlation coefficients were (-0.697,-0.616).Conclusion BOLD-fMRI can be a new way to assess the functional changes of the lumbar dorsal extensor group before and after exercise.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between concurrent myocardial bridge at anterior descending branch and the formation of coronary atherosclerosis plaques by using transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). Methods A total of 198 patients underwent coronary CTA in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medcine from June 2017 to March 2018 and the results showed the anterior descending myocardial bridge. The data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed the coronary CTA with 320?row detector CT. According to the manifestations of myocardial bridge on CTA,the patients were divided into deep and superficial myocardial bridge groups. According to whether the patients were complicated with coronary atherosclerotic plaques, they were divided into isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge, the volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at the site of myocardial bridge, the pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values, and the K ratio were recorded. Independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann?Whitney U test (skewed distribution) was used to compare the difference of measurement data among different groups. χ2 test was used to compare the difference of enumeration data among different groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation among pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values,K ratio,thickness and length of myocardial bridge and plaque volume. The influence of above indexes on plaque occurrence was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The relationship between main influence indexes and plaque formation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Ninety nine patients had isolated myocardial bridge,99 with myocardial bridge and coronary atherosclerotic plaques,27 with superficial myocardial bridge and 171 with deep myocardial bridge. All atherosclerotic plaques occurred in pre?bridge and the mean volume of plaques was (91.6±83.0)mm3. The differences in sex, age, height, body weight and body mass index werenot statistically significant between isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge TAG value was statistically significant between the isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P<0.05), but not statistically significant in post?bridge TAG value and K ratio (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values and K value was not statistically significant between the superficial group and the deep group (all P>0.05). There was a weak negative correlation (r=-0.205,-0.316,-0.339,respectively,P<0.05) between the plaque volume and pre?bridge&post?bridge TAG values and K ratio. The pre?bridge TAG value significantly affected the plaque formation (P=0.014) and the odds ratio was 0.884 (95% CI 0.801 to 0.976). While other factors had no significant effects on plaque formation (all P>0.05). The area under curveof plaque formation promoted by pre?bridge TAG value was 0.582. When the diagnostic critical value was -37.26 HU/mm, the sensitivity and specificity of pre?bridge TAG value in plaque formation were 31.31% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusion The TAG value of anterior descending bridge is an independent risk factor for plaque occurrence. The abnormal TAG value of anterior descending myocardial bridge can be detected early by CTA.

Objective:To investigate the screening values of immunocytochemical P16/Ki-67 double staining, P16 INK4α single staining and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) testing for high-grade cervical lesions. Methods:The clinical data of 622 patients who underwent cervical thin-layer liquid-based cytology (TCT) and HR-HPV testing in General Hospital of Taiyuan Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. from March 2019 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The remaining cytological specimens were detected by P16/Ki-67 double staining and P16 INK4α single staining. Among them, 334 patients with TCT results suggesting atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and above and HPV-positive underwent colposcopy pathological biopsy. Using pathological results as reference, the positive predictive value, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of P16/Ki-67 double staining, P16 INK4α single staining and HR-HPV testing for screening of high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL) and cervical cancer were compared. Results:Taking the results of histopathology as references, combined with the results of TCT, 31 of 622 patients were HSIL, of which 22 (71.0%) were positive for P16/Ki-67 double staining, 23 (74.2%) were positive for P16 INK4α single staining, and 25 (80.6%) were positive for HR-HPV testing; 4 cases were cervical cancer, and the positive rates of the three detection methods were all 100.0% (4/4). Among 622 patients, the positive rates of P16/Ki-67 double staining, P16 INK4α single staining and HR-HPV testing for screening of HSIL and cervical cancer were 13.99% (87/622), 25.40% (158/622) and 21.38% (133/622); the positive predictive values were 29.89%, 17.09% and 21.08%; the accuracies were 91.19%, 78.94% and 83.28%; the specificities were 89.77%, 77.98% and 82.46%; the sensitivities were 74.29%, 77.14% and 82.86%. The positive rate, positive predictive value, specificity and accuracy of P16/Ki-67 double staining were higher than those of P16 INK4α single staining and HR-HPV testing, and the differences were statistically significant ( z values were -5.062 and -3.418, 2.328 and 2.450, 5.436 and 3.570, 6.043 and 4.161, all P < 0.05); the sensitivity of HR-HPV testing was higher than that of P16/Ki-67 double staining and P16 INK4α single staining, but the differences were not statistically significant ( z values were -0.890 and 1.017, both P > 0.05). Conclusions:HR-HPV testing is more suitable for primary cervical lesion screening; P16/Ki-67 double staining can be used as a potential combined cell screening tool or an effective triage tool; P16 INK4α single staining has certain limitations.

Objective To study the relationship between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) envelope glycoprotein gene H and clinical features of children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection. Methods A cohort study was conducted. Newborns diagnosed with congenital cytomegalovirus infection, hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, were included from July 2013 to December 2015. HCMV‐DNA gH typing in urine, sputum or blood was conducted. Patients then were divided into gH1 group and gH2 group according to gH genotypes. Patients′data during hospitalization in newborn and 3-5 years of follow‐up were collected. The relationships between gH genotype and clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, hearing loss and neurological prognosis were analyzed by chi‐square test, t test and non‐parametric test. Results A total of 21 cases were enrolled as congenital HCMV infection and followed‐up for 3-5 years. Among them, 14 (67%) were gH1 type and 7 (33%) were gH2 type. No mixed infection was found. In the two groups, there were no significant differences in the ratio of males (9/14 vs. 3/7, P=0.397), or birth weight ((2 609±686) vs. (3 021±451) g, t=-1.436, P=0.167). Gestational age of gH1 group was younger than that of gH2 group (38 (29-40) vs. 39(38-40) weeks, Z=-2.18, P=0.029). Moderate to severe hearing loss detected by neonatal auditory brainstem response were found in 40 ears (20 cases). It was higher in gH1 group than that in gH2 group (4/22 vs. 0/18, χ2=5.145, P=0.023). In the imaging examination of the nervous system, the Alarcon score of gH1 group was lower than that of gH2 group (0.4±0.3 vs. 1.3±1.1, t=-2.459,P=0.024). No significant statistical difference was found in the probability of motor or language development lag in gH2 group and gH1 group (4/7 vs. 4/14, P=0.346). Conclusions Compared with gH2 infection, gH1 infection in children has a younger gestational age. The major type of hearing loss in neonatal period is gH1 infection. Children with gH2 congenital infections are more likely to suffer from nervous systems damage.

Objective:To explore the effect of emotion control game based on Snyder hope theory on anxiety of children and their parents.Methods:From June to December 2021, 92 preschool children who received operation and their parents in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were selected as the study subject. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the time of admission, among which 46 children and their parents admitted from June to September 2021 were taken as the control group, with routine nursing. A total of 46 children and their parents admitted from October to December 2021 were taken as the study group, and emotion control game based on Snyder hope theory was implemented on the basis of the control group. The scores of the Chinese version of the modified Yale Perioperative Anxiety Scale (Cm-YPAS) one day before operation and at the time of entering the Operating Room were compared between the two groups of children, and the scores of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS) of the parents of preschool children one day before operation and at the time of discharge of the two groups were compared.Results:During the intervention, there were 3 cases of dropout children in the study group and two cases of dropout children in the control group, and 43 and 44 children completed the study respectively. The Cm-YPAS scores of children in the two groups at the time of entering the Operating Room were statistically higher than those of children one day before operation; When entering the Operating Room, the Cm-YPAS score of children in the study group was lower than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . The GAD-7 scores of parents of children in the study group were lower than those in the control group one day before operation and at the time of discharge, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . At the time of discharge, the NSNS scores of parents in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In preoperative nursing, emotion control game based on Snyder hope theory for preschool children can effectively reduce their preoperative anxiety, and the anxiety of their parents during perioperative period, and improve parents' satisfaction with nursing.

Objective:To investigate the dosimetric feasibility of cardiac stereotactic body radiotherapy (CSBRT) using volumetric-modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT)-like technique on the Unity MR-linac.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12 refractory arrhythmia patients who underwent CSBRT at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from April 2021 to December 2022. Four different treatment plans were designed for each patient based on the average phase of 4DCT: VMAT plan based on a linear accelerator, VMAT-like plan with magnetic field based on Unity, VMAT-like plan without magnetic field based on a Unity, and static intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan with 7 beams based on Unity. The VMAT-like plans used static IMRT beams evenly distributed at 30 angles. Evaluation metrics included conformity index (CI), homogeneity index (HI), gradient index (GI), dosimetric parameters of organs at risk (OAR), optimization time, and monitor unit (MU). These metrics among groups were analyzed using the Wilcoxon paired signed-rank test.Results:The CI of the VMAT plan was better than that of the VMAT-like plan with magnetic field (0.84 vs. 0.81, P=0.005). The GI of the VMAT-like plan without magnetic field was significantly lower than that of VMAT-like plan with magnetic field ( P=0.015). The CI and HI of the IMRT plan were both inferior to VMAT-like plan with magnetic field ( P=0.034). The average dose to the heart and lungs in VMAT-like plan with magnetic field was higher than those in the VMAT plan and VMAT-like plan without magnetic field (both P<0.05). The magnetic field significantly increased the dose to the skin, tissue-lung interface, and outside the margins (all P<0.05). The optimization time of the VMAT-like plan with magnetic field was longer than that of the IMRT plan, but it required fewer MUs ( P=0.001). The quality of the IMRT plans was poor and did not meet clinical requirements. Conclusion:The quality of CSBRT plans based on VMAT-like techniques meets clinical requirements, but attention must be paid to the dosimetric effects of the magnetic field.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and imaging features of patients with COVID-19-related osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).Methods:COVID-19-related ODS cases diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2020 to September 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. And their past medical history, possible triggers, clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations, treatment and prognosis were summarized.Results:A total of 5 patients with COVID-19-related ODS were included. Electrolyte disturbances acted as an inducement of ODS in all patients (5/5),4 of whom with hyponatremia. Four of 5 patients first presented with disturbance of consciousness, followed by predominant dystonia. Imaging of all patients (5/5) showed isolated extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM). With the prolongation of the course of disease, such signal intensity could return to normal, and lesions showed atrophic changes in some patients. The patients′ clinical symptoms were partly relieved within a few days to a few months after treatment.Conclusions:COVID-19-related ODS is mostly associated with hyponatremia, and EPM is more common. COVID-19 should be considered as a risk factor for ODS.
