Objective:To explore the value of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in evaluating cerebrovascular small vessel disease (CSVD) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:Eighty-two patients with SLE combined with CSVD treated at Yixing People's Hospital from January to December 2022 were selected. They were divided into acute phase infarction group (16 cases), chronic phase infarction group (26 cases), and chronic ischemic lesion group (40 cases) based on routine MRI examination results. All patients underwent DTI examination to obtain the average diffusion coefficient (DCavg) and anisotropy score (FA) of the affected and contralateral normal white matter areas, and the evaluation value of DTI for CSVD in SLE patients was analyzed.Results:The DCavg value on the affected side of 82 patients was significantly higher than that on the healthy side: (11.10 ± 3.48) 10 -3 mm 2/s vs. (8.18 ± 2.42) 10 -3 mm 2/s, and the FA value on the affected side was significantly lower than that on the healthy side: 0.28 ± 0.05 vs. 0.45 ± 0.08, with a statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). The DCavg values of the acute infarction group, chronic infarction group, and chronic ischemic focus group were (11.88 ± 3.50), (9.69 ± 3.24) and (8.52 ± 2.34) 10 -3 mm 2/s, respectively, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). The FA values of the acute infarction group, chronic infarction group, and chronic ischemic focus group were 0.28 ± 0.04, 0.33 ± 0.06 and 0.40 ± 0.07, respectively, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn, and the results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the acute phase infarction group and the chronic phase infarction group evaluated by DCavg and FA alone and in combination were 0.757, 0.756, and 0.820, respectively. The AUC of the chronic phase infarction group and the chronic ischemic focus group evaluated by DCavg and FA were 0.772, 0.776, and 0.813, respectively. The AUC value of the combined evaluation was relatively large. Conclusions:DTI has good evaluation value for CSVD in SLE patients and can accurately determine the type of CSVD.

This study aims to discuss the therapeutic effect of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate on hepatitis B virus(HBV)transgenic mouse and its effect on cellular immunity and liver inflammation. The changes of serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)activity, the difference of serum hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg), liver tissue HBsAg mRNA, and the pathological morphological changes of liver tissue were detected to investigate the hepatic inflammatory lesions and the efficacy of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate in HBV transgenic mouse. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were classified by flow cytometry, and serum cytokines were detected by cytometric bead array(CBA)to explore the mechanism of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate to reduce hepatic inflammatory lesions in HBV transgenic mouse. After grouping HBV transgenic mouse with serum transaminase activity and 35 days of continuous administration, serum transaminases level in magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate [15 mg/(kg ·d)] group was significantly lower than that in control group(P< 0. 05), serum HBsAg protein and liver tissue HBsAg mRNA increased with time, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. The main pathological changes of liver were liver cell swelling, necrosis and focal inflammatory cell infiltration, and the pathological changes of liver in magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group were lighter than those in control group. The number of CD8+ cells in the blood of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group was significantly less than that in the control group(P< 0. 05)and the CD4+/CD8+ cell ratio was significantly higher than that in the control group(P< 0. 05). The content of inflammatory cytokines in serum of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group decreased significantly(P< 0. 05). Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate can regulate the immune function of HBV transgenic mouse, decrease the infiltration of inflammatory cells in hepatic tissue and hepatocyte injury, but do not affect the expression of hepatocyte HBsAg.
