Objective To explore the application value of 3D free-breathing Star VIBE sequence in abdominal contrast-enhanced MR scanning of children. Methods Totally 72 children with abdominal lesions underwent contrast-enhanced MR scanning with 3D free-breathing Star VIBE sequence and turbo fast low angle shot (tfl) sequence, respectively. The enhanced T1W images obtained with two scanning sequences were scored subjectively, and SNR and CNR were calculated objectively. Results The scores of respiratory motion artifacts, intrahepatic vascular and inferior vena cava structure display, gastrointestinal peristalsis artifacts, lesion clarity and overall image quality score on 3D free-breathing Star VIBE sequence images were higher than those on tfl sequence images (all P<0.001). SNR and CNR of 3D free breathing Star VIBE sequence were 25.14 (20.42, 30.50), 9.20 (7.36, 10.42), of tfl sequence were 20.67 (19.00, 23.50) and 6.08(3.00, 8.50), respectively. SNR and CNR of 3D free-breathing Star VIBE sequence were higher than those of tfl sequence (all P<0.001). Conclusion 3D free-breathing Star VIBE sequence can significantly reduce motion artifacts and increase SNR and CNR, demonstrating important clinical value in diagnosis of abdominal diseases in children.

Objective To evaluate intra- and interatrial asynchrony and its determinants in aged patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) by using tissue Doppler imaging. Methods Ninty-one patients without PAF (control group, including 40 elder patients and 51 non-elder patients) and 52 aged patients with PAF were included. As to assessment of intra- and interatrial synchronicity, the atrioventricular plane were selected on the right atrial (RA) free wall, interatrial septum (IAS), and left atrial (LA) free wall. The time differences from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the A wave at the left atrium (P-LA), the IAS (P-IAS), and the right atrium (P-RA) were measured. Intra-atrial asynchrony was defined as the differences between P-IAS and P-RA (RA asynchrony) and between P-LA and P-IAS (LA asynchrony). Interatrial asynchrony was defined as the difference between P-LA and P-RA. Stepwise regression was made to determine the influencing factors for atrial asynchrony in aged patients with PAF. Results Compared with the control group, aged patients with PAF had significant LA and interatrial asynchrony (P＜0.01). Multivariate stepwise regression demonstrated that systolic blood pressure (x2), age (x1) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI x5) entered the regression equation in aged patients with PAF (Y=-57.241+0.481 x1+0.223 x2+0.294 x5). Conclusions Aged patients with PAF have LA and interatrial asynchrony. LVH, aged and SBP are important factors leading to these asynchronies in the aged patients with PAF.

Objective To compare the differences of the development of mathematical cognitive characteristics between ADHD children and normal children aged from 7 to 12 years old with event?related potentials ( ERP ) in the mathematical tasks, and to explore the neural mechanisms and characteristics. Methods ERP and behavioral data of 72 ADHD children and 88 normal children in three groups( 7?8 years old,9?10 years old,11?12 years old) were recorded,and analyzed N1,P2 and N2 components'amplitude and latency of Fz by judging the answers to simple calculation within 20. Results ( 1) Vertical comparative a?nalysis( the three age groups were compared):the differences of N1,P2 and N2 amplitudes in normal groups were considered to be statistically significant (right answer:N1(-3.8±2.1)μV,(-4.3±3.4)μV,(-2.2± 2.4)μV;P2(10.6±4.3)μV,(12.6±5.1)μV,(8.5±2.4)μV;N2(-6.5±3.1)μV,(-10.2±4.2)μV,(-6.8± 3.4)μV;error answer:N1(-2.8±2.7)μV,(-4.5±3.0)μV,(-2.9±2.5)μV;P2(9.3±5.9)μV,(12.1±5.0)μV,(8.2±3.6)μV;N2(-7.4±3.7)μV,(-11.4±5.5)μV,(-7.7±3.7)μV;all P<0.05),while was not sig?nificant in ADHD group(all P>0.05). (2)Horizontal comparative analysis(ADHD group and normal group were compared):N1 amplitude of ADHD group aged from 7 to 8 years old was higher than normal group’ s while judging the right answer((-5.3±2.4)μV,(-3.8±2.1)μV, P<0.05).P2 and N2 components’ ampli?tude of ADHD group aged from 9 to 10 years old were lower than of that normal group.(right answer:P2(9.6 ±4.4)μV,(12.6±5.1)μV;N2(-8.0±4.3)μV,(-10.2±4.2)μV;error answer:P2(9.6±4.4)μV,(12.1± 5.0)μV;N2(-7.9±4.6)μV,(-11.4±5.5)μV;all P<0.05).(3)Comparison of different tasks(the judge?ment of right and wrong answer):There was no statistically significant difference between ADHD and normal group in amplitude( P>0.05) . The latent period of the wrong answers was longer than that of the right ones among normal groups aged from 11?12 while the difference of ADHD group had no statistical significance ((312.9±42.3)ms,(292.2±21.2)ms, P<0.05). Conclusion The development trend of mathematical ERP component in ADHD children is different from normal ones,and it is closely related to the maldevelopment of frontal lobe.The characteristics of cognitive deficit differ from ages.ADHD children in low and intermediate level were damaged primarily with inhibition function,while the senior were damaged mainly in collision de?tection function.

Objective To investigate the effects of 16-channel dedicated craniocerebral coil on brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)image quality in infants aged 0-6 months.Methods Thirty-two infants aged 0-6 months receiving craniocerebral MRI examination with 16-channel dedicated craniocerebral coil were enrolled as observation group,while 32 infant aged 0-6 months receiving craniocerebral MRI examination with conventional head and neck combined coil in the same period were enrolled as control group.The scanning sequences included transverse T1 weighted imaging(T1WI),T2 weighted imaging(T2WI),T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR)and diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)sequences.The scanned images were evaluated subjectively and objectively.Results In the subjective evaluation,T1WI,T2WI and FLAIR sequences scored higher than 4,and DWI sequence scored higher than 3.There were high consistency between two raters for T1WI,T2WI and FLAIR sequences(Kappa value=0.717,0.652,and 0.784,respectively;P<0.05),and moderate consistency for DWI sequence(Kappa value=0.321;P<0.05).In the objective evaluation,the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of each sequence in the dedicated coil group were highly consistent in the left and right lobes of the brain,and the differences in the SNR and CNR between the left and right lobes of the brain were trivial(P>0.05).The SNR and CNR of each sequence in the dedicated coil group increased as compared with the conventional coil group,and the differences in the SNR and CNR of T1WI sequence and the SNR of DWI sequence were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The brain images of infants aged 0-6 months obtained with a dedicated craniocerebral coil can better meet the clinical needs,and the image quality of the dedicated coil group is superior to that of the conventional coil group in both subjective and objective evaluations.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) on postoperative analgesia after caesarean section.Methods Sixty parturientsscheduled for cesarean section, aged 20-40 years, ASA physical status Ⅰ orⅡ, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 30 each) using a random number table:QLB group (group Q) and control group (group C).Parturients in group Q received bilateral QLB with the use of 20 ml 0.33％ ropivacaine per side after surgery, while QLB was not done in group C.Both groups received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery which contains 800 mg tramadol, 40 mg nefopam and 80 ml normal saline.The accumulative consumption of tramadol, the score of numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain at rest and on movement and the bruggrmann comfort scale (BCS) score were recorded at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hafter operation.The cutaneous sensory block area was determined in group Q at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hafter operation.The patient′s satisfaction with postoperative analgesia and adverse reactions were also recorded.Results The consumption of tramadol in group Q was significantly decreased compared with that in group C (P<0.05) at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hafter surgery.NRS for pain at rest at all times, NRS for pain when cough at 12, 24 hafter surgery and NRS for pain when turning over at 4, 48 hafter surgery were significantly lower, while the BCS score was higher in group Q than that in group C (P<0.05).Quadratus lumborum block affected T7-L1 dermatomes at 4, 8, 12 hafter surgery and T8-L1 dermatomes at 24 hafter surgery.The analgesic plane of quadratus lumborum block disappeared at 48 hours after operation.The patient's satisfaction with postoperative analgesia was higher in group Q compared with that in group C (P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting and dizziness was similar between the two groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block can remarkably reduce the consumption of tramadol after caesarean section, lower the postoperative pain score, improve the patient′s comfort and satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the semantic priming of boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder( ADHD) and explore whether the semantic priming deficits was associated with behavioral problems by event-related potential(ERP). Methods Thirty boy with and without ADHD aged from 7 to 13 years were asked to finish the semantic Semantic judgment task. The study took advantage of t-test ( independent-samples) to compare the amplitude and latency of the N400 in both groups,as well as behavioral data.Behav-ioral problems were assessed by the Achenbach child behavior checklist( CBCL) ,and Pearson correlation a-nalysis were used to explore the relationship between behavioral problems and semantic priming. Result-s Under the condition of semantic correlation,the hyperactive factor of CBCL in ADHA group was positively correlated with ERP N400 amplitude ( r=0.44,P<0.05) and negatively correlated with reaction accuracy ( r=-0.48,P<0.05).Under the semantic irrelevant condition,the latency of ERP N400 in ADHA group was pos-itively correlated with hyperactivity factor (r=0.53,P<0.05)and aggression factor of CBCL(r=0.62,P<0.05).The N400 amplitude of the ADHD group was significant higher than that in the control group under se-mantic related conditions((-11.36±4.77)μV vs (-7.66±5.24)μV,P=0.006),and the latency of the N400 in ADHD was more delay((369.6±44.09)ms vs (341.27±24.54)ms,P=0.004),and the reaction times (RT) was much longer((936.18±135.03)ms vs (857.78±103.45)ms,P=0.014).The latency of the N400 in ADHD was more delay than that in the control group under semantic irrelevant conditions ( ( 383. 93 ±29.66)ms vs (362.33±29.66)ms,P=0.012),and accuracies of ADHD group was lower than that of control group(0.43±0.39 vs 0.81±0.23,P<0.01).Conclusion The present result indicates that children with ADHD exhibit a deficit in the semantic priming mechanism,and the deficit is positively correlated with hy-peractivity and impulsiveness.
