Objective: To explore neural correlates for the recognition of facial expression videos using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging.Methods:Thirteen right-handed healthy Chinese women underwent blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI voluntarily while recognizing happy, sad, neutral emotional faces and fixation cross videos.Results:In comparison with fixation cross, recognition of neutral faces activated the left middle frontal gyrus, the bilateral precentral gyrus, the right amygdala, the left parahippocampal gyrus, the right postcentral gyrus and the left thalamus. In comparison of neutral faces recognition, the recognition of happy faces elicited increased activation in the right medial frontal gyrus, the right superior frontal gyrus, the middle frontal gyrus, the right anterior cingulated gyrus, the left subcallosal gyrus, the right superior occipital gyrus, the left middle occipital gyrus and the right superior temporal gyrus; while the recognition of sad faces activated the left medial frontal gyrus, the right middle frontal gyrus, the left inferior temporal gyrus and the left superior temporal gyrus.Conclusion:This study indicates that the recognition of facial expression is mediated by a distributed cortical network, and the medial frontal gyrus may be involved in discriminating different affective information, while the superior temporal gyrus may play an important role in processing the dynamic characters of face.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of J-valve transapical catheter aortic Valve replacement(TA-TAVI) in the early treatment of aortic stenosis with low coronary ostium.Methods:From January 2020 to April 2022, 20 patients with aortic stenosis with coronary opening height ≤10 mm who underwent TA-TAVI treatment in the Valve Surgery Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were enrolled retrospectively. All patients underwent preoperative imaging screening, and 5 patients underwent preoperative coronary artery protection: The height of coronary artery opening was less than 5 mm in 3 cases. 2 cases had stent stenosis & LT after coronary artery stenting 50%, and the position of the coronary artery opening was less than 8mm. The postoperative complications, mortality and cardiac function prognosis of TA-TAVI were analyzed.Results:There were 5 males and 15 females. The average age of the whole group was(73.00±6.20) years. Transthoracic echocardiography showed that all patients had severe aortic valve stenosis, and 85% of the patients had NYHA grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and 80% of the patients had aortic valve stenosis with insufficiency. The mean height of left coronary artery opening was(9.07±3.70) mm. RCA(11.39±3.00) mm; The opening height of coronary artery was ≤5 mm in 3 cases(left 7.5%), 5-8 mm in 5 cases(12.5%), and 8-10mm in 16 cases(40.0%). Mean aortic sinus(valsalva) diameter: Left(30.06±5.90) mm; Right(28.50±5.68) mm; Non(29.96±6.15) mm. J-valve Valve was successfully implanted through apical catheter in all patients, most of whom were size 23. CPB was performed in 2 patients at the same time, permanent pacemaker was inserted in 2 patients, and moderate or above perivalvular leakage was found in 0 patients. All patients had TNI( P=0.12) and MYO( P=0.03) before and 24 hours after operation. None of the 5 patients underwent coronary artery stenting. None of the 5 patients died within 30 days after the operation. Ta-tavi is effective 30 days after operation, with low complication rate and good prognosis of cardiac function. Conclusion:J-valve transapical catheter aortic Valve replacement is safe and effective in the treatment of aortic stenosis with low coronary ostium.
