Journal of Practical Radiology 2001;0(05):-
Objective To study the follow-up value of MRI in the sequela hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods MRI features of HIE in 81 neonates were analyzed retrospectively,every child had two cranial MRI scans,the first scan at the end of the newborn stage,the second scan at 4 months to 4 years.There were 66 full-term neonates and 15 preterm neonates.Results Of 81 cases,79 cases were abnormal on second MRI examination,including myelinogenetic abnormal in 59 cases(72.8%),external hydrocephalus(EH) in 53 cases(65.4%),brain malacia in 26 cases(32.1%),cerebaral atrophy in 25 cases(30.1%),white matter decrease in 24 cases(29.6%) and dysplasia of corpus callosum in 9 cases(11.1%).EH(26/35cases) and myelinogenetic abnormal(16/35 cases) in mild HIE group,brain malacia(12/29 cases) in moderate HIE group,cerebaral atrophy(16/17 cases) and white matter decrease(15 /17 cases)in severe HIE group were often seen.Conclusion MRI findings can reflect the pathological changes of sequela of HIE,and provide objective basis for diagnosis and assessment of prognosis.

Objective To study the value of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) in early assessment of prognosis of hypoxic-ischemicencephalopathy(HIE) in new infants. Methods 96 cases of full term infants with HIE underwent DTI examinations at 0~12 days and 6~36 months. Based on clinical diagnostic criteria, 96 cases were divided into three groups: mild, moderate and severe HIE groups. Fractional anisotropy(FA) values in the corpus callosum splenium and the posterior limb of internal capsules were measured. Results (1) Varying degrees of FA groups was significantly different from the same site, increased linearly with time,but the magni-tude of change was different;(2)When FA value of corpus callosum splenium in the cut-off point was ≥0.437,the sensitivity(SE) was 83.8% , the specificity(SP) was 18.6% , ROC area under the curve was 0.903 , 95% confidence interval was from 0.846 to 0.961,standard error was 0.029;when FA value of posterior limb of internal capsule in the cut-off point ≥0.391,SE was 86.5%, SP was 11.9% ,ROC area under the curve was 0.940,95% confidence interval was from 0.898 to 0.984,standard error was 0.022. Conclusion MR DTI examination is of significant value in evaluating early the prognosis of HIE in infants.

Objective:
To understand the status of occupational health surveillance to workers exposed to toxic environment in a city, so as to provide scientific basis for strategy of occupational diseases prevention.
Methods:
In January 2017, collecting the data of on-the-job poisonous and harmful workers occupational health surveillance in the city from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016 in China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, the trend of occupational health monitoring in the city was analyzed, and the differences between diverseeconomic types, enterprise scale, industry nature and hazard factors were analyzed and compared.
Results:
The occupational health examination rate showed an overall upward trend in workers exposed to dust in the city from 2010-2016 (

Objective To study the liver protection of total celosins (CES) in different liver damage models .Method A-cute liver damage mouse model ,chronic liver damage rat model and immune liver damage mouse model were established for this study .Liver function tests ,liver lipid peroxidation indicators and liver pathology were observed .Results CES of each dose group can lower serum ALT and AST in different degrees ,can significantly reduce the content of MDA in liver homogenate , while can increase SOD activity .Pathological examination showed that animals administered significantly reduced the degree of liver cell damage .Conclusion CES have protective effects on acute liver damage induced by CCl 4 ,chronic liver damage induced by CCl4 and immunological liver damage induced by concanavalin A .Its hepatoprotective effect may be related to its antioxidant effects .

Objective? To explore the application effect of online learning platform on the training of family caregivers of disabled elderly people. Methods? From September 2017 to March 2018, the family caregivers of 90 disabled elderly people in a district of Changsha were selected by convenience sampling method, and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. During the study period, the caregivers of the control group received general health education. The caregivers in the intervention group received online training on the self-developed online learning platform under the guidance of the researchers for months. Before and after the training, the family caregivers were investigated using the Family Caregivers Care Ability Scale and the Care Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire. Results? Before the training, there was no statistically significant difference in average score of care knowledge, and the total score and the five dimensions' scores of the Family Caregivers Care Ability Scale between the two groups (P > 0.05). After training, the score of the care knowledge in the intervention group was (82.2±15.2), which was higher than that in the control group (64.2±17.2), and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.260,P< 0.01). After training, the score of Family Caregivers Care Ability Scale in the intervention group was (13.90±4.52), which was lower than that in the control group (16.57±3.25), and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.217,P< 0.01). The scores of the four dimension of the scale, including adjusting the role of caregiver, meeting need and providing assistance, dealing with personal mood, adjusting life in order to meet the needs to take care of elderly in the intervention gorup were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). Conclusions? The training based on the online care knowledge and skill system for disability elderly can improve the family caregivers of nursing knowledge level and ability to take care of the elderly.

Objective:
To provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control measures of silicosis by analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of silicosis cases reported in Tianjin city during 2001-2015.
Methods:
The database of silicosis cases reported in Tianjin from 2001 to 2015 was established and analyzed by SPSS 24.0 software.
Results:
2 213 cases of silicosis were reported during 2001~2015 in Tianjin, 2015 of them were new cases, and fewer reports of promoting stage cases and death cases, which were129 and 69 cases. The new cases were increasing by years, mainly stage I silicosis accounting for 99.2%, the years of dust exposure were concentrated from 1970 to 1989, accounting for 69.58%. From 2001 to 2015, the median length of service at the onset of silicosis was 19.30 years, the age of the onset of silicosis is decreasing. The median of onset age in new cases of silicosis was 53.28 years, and increased year by year. There were significant differences in indirect dust working age and diagnostic age in different reporting years. Most cases were distributed in non-mental mineral product industry, and ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry. The work types of these cases are various.
Conclusion
The increasing incidence of silicosis and the shortening of dust-exposed working years suggest that the form of silicosis hazards is still severe in Tianjin. According to the epidemic characteristics of silicosis, we should strengthen the supervision and management of key industries and special investigation, carry out silicosis census and silicosis screening of dust-removal workers, and take pertinent measures to prevent and control the occurrence of silicosis.
