Objective To analyze the characteristics of the common first attack of headache in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Methods The clinical data of 51 patients who were diagnosed as CVST with MR venography (MRV)or DSA were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into either a acute group (≤3 week,n= 32)or a chronic group (>3 weeks, n=19). Results (1)The age of onset of symptoms in these patients was 20 to 40 years,and most of them were females. Of all the first symptoms,headache ranked first,accounting for 84. 3%(43/51 );headache only accounted for 52. 9%(27/51 ),headache with other symptoms (ophthalmic symptoms, hemiplegia,and aphasia,etc. )accounted for 31. 4%(16/51 ),and other symptoms such as epilepsy, paralysis,and ophthalmic symptoms accounted for 15. 7%(8/51). (2)The proportion of headache only as the first symptom in the acute group was higher than that in the chronic group (65. 6% vs. 31. 6%,P<0. 05), and the proportion of chronic headache with other symptoms as the first symptom in the chronic group was higher than that of the acute group (P<0. 05). In addition,the proportion of the first symptom including ophthalmic manifestations in the chronic group was higher than that of the acute group (P <0.01 ). (3)Forty-three patients with headache,dull headache or distensible pain accounted for 72. 1%(31/43), thunderclap headache accounted for 11. 6%(5/43),and other kinds of headache accounted for 16. 3%(6/43),however,there were no significant differences about the types of headache between the two groups (all P>0. 05 ). Conclusion Young patients without previous history of migraine,especially women of childbearing age with sudden onset and progressive worsening headache,and the patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension,CVST should be considered as an important possibility.

ObjectiveTo investigate the initial symptoms, onset time and predisposing factors of acute cerebral haemorrhage in order to more effectively prevent cerebral haemorrhage. Methods 728 cases with acute cerebral haemorrhage were collected in recent 8 years. The initial symptoms,onset time and predisposing factors of all the patients were investigated. ResultsAcute cerebral haemorrhage in 582 caces (79.9%) occurred at time between 6am and 18pm and 146 cases (20%) at night. The main predisposing causes of acute cerebral haemorrhage were the playing of chess, cards and mahjong (16.1%), quarrels (12.8%), overwork (11.7%), alcoholism (7.2%) and so on. The most common initial symptom was hemianesthesia, accounting for 16.2%, others were vertigo (13.0%), headache ( 11.4%), amaurosis fugax ( 9.3%), speech ambiguity ( 8.6%) and transitory visual disturbance (7.9%).ConclusionsThe preventive measures of cerebral haemorrhage should be focused on daytime, especially in the morning. Sixteen locations where the cerebral haemorrhage is prone to happen should be paid more attention to by the patients with hypertension and the medical staff. Thirteen symptoms,such as hemianesthesia and vertigo,are the aurae of cerebral haemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the role of calpain in the spinal dorsal horn in development of paw inflammatory pain in rats.Methods Forty-eight male SD rats,aged 6 weeks,weighing 160-200 g,were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group(group C,n =8),PBS group( n =16),zymosan-induced paw inflammatory pain group (group Z,n =24).Inflammatory pain was induced by injection of zymosan 1.25 mg into the plantar surface of left hindpaw.Group PBS received the equal volume of PBS 100 μl.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT),paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) and maximum thickness of the plantar surface of left hindpaw were measured before (T0 ) and at 30 min,1,2,4,8,24 and 48 h(T1-7 ) after zymosan or PBS injection.Eight rats were sacrificed at T4 in group PBS and at T4.6,7 in group Z respectively.The left lumbar segment (L4-6) was removed to determination of spectrin α Ⅱ breakdown products,IκBα,cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)expression and NF-κB activity in the spinal dorsal horn by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,MWT and PWTL were significantly decreased,maximum thickness of paw and NF-κB activity in the spinal dorsal horn were significantly increased,spectrin α Ⅱ breakdown products and COX-2 expression in the spinal dorsal horn were upregulated,while IκBα expression was down-regulated in group Z( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ),but no significant change was found in group PBS( P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The activation of calpain in the spinal dorsal horn is involved in the development of paw inflammatory pain in rats through activating NF-κB and up-regulating the expression of COX-2.

Objective To assess the damage of limbic system pathways in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography.Methods DTI tractography was used to acquire fiber numbers,fractional anisotropy (FA),mean diffusivity (MD) of cingulum,fornix,and uncinate fasciculus (UF) in 20 RRMS patients (MS group) and 20 healthy volunteers (control group),and statistical analysis was performed.Results Compared with control group,lower FA value (P＜0.01) and higher MD value (P＜0.05) were found in cingulum,fornix and UF of MS group,and the fiber numbers of fornix decreased in MS group (P＜0.001).There were significant differences between the left and the right UF in fiber numbers and FA value of control group and the fiber numbers of MS group.Negative correlations were found between FA value of cingulum and UF and EDSS scores in MS group (r=-0.572,-0.665,both P＜0.05),and positive correlations were found between MD value and EDSS scores (r=0.627,0.603,both P＜0.05).Conclusion DTI tractography is valuable in assessing MS associated limbic system damage and in monitoring the clinical progression of the disease.

Purpose Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MR is a method developed in recent years which can quantitatively evaluate the diffusion and perfusion characteristics of microenvironment.The aim of this study was to investigate the application value of IVIM in assessing relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 27 patients with RRMS confirmed clinically at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from Jun.2015 to Jan.2016 was carried out in the study.All the patients underwent the conventional MRI and IVIM MRI based on multi-b-factor (b values of 10,20,30,40,50,100,150,200,350,500,650,800,1000 s/mm2) with 3.0T MR scanner.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),ADCslow,ADCfast and f values were evaluated since they could reflect the diffusion and perfusion status of RRMS lesions and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) regions.Results The ADC,ADCslow,ADCfast and f values of the non-enhancing (NE) lesions were significantly higher than those in the NAWM regions both near and far from NE lesions (P＜0.05).However,the ADC,ADCslow,ADCfast and f values in the NAWM regions close to the NE lesions had no significant differences with those in the NAWM regions far from the lesions (P＞0.05).Conclusion The IVIM MRI can measure the diffusion and perfusion status of the lesions and NAWM in RRMS patients,which,therefore,is helpful in speculation of the pathological changes of RRMS lesions and in its injury classification and identification.

Objective To explore the repair of the open compound wounds in lower extremities caused by multiple factors. Methotis Transplantation of cutaneous.musculo-cutaneous or greater omentum flaps were applied to 155 patients of open compound lower extremity wounds. Results The wound healing rate following first operation was 50% and that following two operations was 14.8%.While the wounds were healed in 7.7% of patients after three operations. Conclusion Transplantations of cutaneous,musculo-cutaneous or greater omentum flaps ale effective to repair and reconstruct the open compound lower extremity wounds.

Objective: To study the feasibility of ¹⁸F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography/Computed tomography (¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT) scanning in the localization and differential diagnosing of focal versus diffuse form of pancreas lesions in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH). Method: Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with HH between January, 2016 and February, 2017 in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Diseases, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University using an integrated clinical and biochemical diagnostic protocol, domestic ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT imaging technique were applied after MRI and ultrasound failed to detect pancreas lesions. Pancreas ¹⁸F-DOPA standardized uptake values (SUV) were measured, and pancreas′ lesions were dually analyzed via visual method and pancreas percentage SUV method. Among these patients, 9 patients received surgical pancreatic lesion resections, the correlations among surgical outcomes, histopathological findings and ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT scan results were analyzed. Result: Seven patients were detected with focal form of pancreas lesions, the mean peak of SUV was 4.7±1.7(2.6-7.1), and 17 patients were found to have diffuse form lesions after ¹⁸F-DOPA-PET/CT scanning. Among the 24 cases, 9 patients (7 showed focal and 2 showed diffuse ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT pancreatic uptake)were euglycemic without any medical support after surgery; the resected pancreatic tissue histopathological results were consistent with that of PET/CT imaging. Only one patient, who responded to medical treatment before surgery, had temporary hyperglycemia after operation. Conclusion Domestic ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT could successfully locate and differentiate the pancreatic lesions and thus improve the success of surgery.

Objective To assess the changes of white matter microstructure in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) with DTI based on tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) method.Methods Conventional MR and DTI were performed in 20 NMOSD patients (NMOSD group) and 20 healthy volunteers (control group).DTI data were analyzed with TBSS procedure,which was a part of FSL software packages,and non-parametric statistical analysis was performed on the whole brain.Correlation between FA value of tracts with significant difference in NMOSD group and expanded disability status scale (EDSS) scores was analyzed.Results TBSS analysis revealed significantly (P＜ 0.05,FWE corrected) extensive decrease of FA value in cerebrum and cerebellum white matter fiber bundles,i.e.corpus callosum,fornix,corticospinal tract,unciform fasciculus,cerebellar peduncles etc.in NMOSD group,and decrease of AD value,increase of RD value in cingulum bundle,corpus callosum and fornix,while MD value only increased in fornix and retrolenticular part of the left internal capsule (P＜0.05,FWE corrected).Negative correlations were found between FA value of left uncinate fasciculus,right external capsule,left inferior cerebellar peduncle,bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule,medial lemniscus and EDSS scores (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Widespread white matter damage is observed in cerebrum and cerebellum in NMOSD patients by using TBSS analysis,which may partly correspond to the disabilities of NMOSD patients.However,the other microstructural changes of white matter tracts may suggest complicated pathological mechanism of NMOSD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) by using different methods to estimate the insertion depth.Methods:PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library, CBM (SinoMed), CNKI, VIP Database, Wanfang Database and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database were electronically searched for literature on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different methods for estimating the insertion depth of UVC. The search period was from the establishment date of the above databases to April 15th, 2022. If 2 or more studies were available for each pairwise comparison, a meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.3 software. However, if only 1 study was included for each pairwise comparison, SPSS 26.0 statistical software is used for statistical analysis using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 9 RCTs were included in the final meta-analysis, with a total of 1 281 infants, using 6 methods for estimating the depth of UVC. Compared with the Shukla formula, the Dunn method showed a statistically significant improvement in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt ( RR=1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.47, P=0.002). When comparing the Dunn method with the revised Shukla formula, the difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt was statistically significant (21.4% vs. 33.5%, χ2=7.24, P=0.007). There was no statistically significant difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt between the Dunn method and the formula based on BW, the JSS formula and the revised Shukla formula, and the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of UVC complications between the Dunn method and the Shukla formula, and between the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. Conclusions:Comparing to Shukla formula, Dunn method has a higher correct place rate at the first attempt. The incidence of complications is similar between the different pairwise comparison methods.
