Objective To explore the features of white matter in DTI in patients with asymptomatic mild traumat?ic brain injury(mTBI)and their correlation with the cognitive features. Methods The DTI data and cognitive function data were obtained from 36 mTBI patients and 36 health controls. The fractional anisotropy (FA) pictures were ana?lyzed by voxel-based analysis. The FA value differences of the two groups were analyzed by using t test. The values of FA were extracted from the abnormal regions of mTBI patients. Correlation analyses were performed on the association of extracted FA value with P300 latency,P300 amplitude,the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiey Scale,age and education(P>0.05). Results Compared with controls, mTBI patients had significant reduction of FA in the right medial frontal gyrus, bilateral postcentral gyrus, left precune?us, right posterior cingutate and right superior temporal gyrus(P<0.01,FDR correction). There were no significant correlations between extracted FA value and all clinical characteristics in mTBI patients. Conclusions Patients with mTBI have white matter microstructural damage and cognitive impairment.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and diagnostic methods of cerebral schistosomiasis.Methods The data of CT,MRI and the cerebral spine fluid(CSF) immunoassay in 42 patients with cerebral schistosomiasis were analyzed retrospectively.Results Forty cerebral schistosomiasis patients were diagnosed by the iconography and immunoassay,1 by the postoperative pathological examination and 1 by diagnostic treatment with praziquantel.Conclusions CT and MRI are of great value to determination of the position and nature of the cerebral schistosomiasis.The sensitivity and accuracy of MRI are better for indicating the main pathological changes of the disease than those of CT.The CSF immunoassay plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis.
