Deposition of intracellular misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system leads to Parkinson′s disease, dementia with Lewy body, multiple system atrophy and other synucleinopathies. But the pathological mechanism of the transmission is not fully understood. Recent studies have shown that intercellular transmission of neurotoxic oligomer α-syn is the main mode of disease transmission between brain regions. This article reviews the existing evidence for different modes of cell secretion and uptake of oligomer α-syn, including direct intercellular transmission, prion-like transmission, exosomes and endocytosis, tunneling nanotubes and microglia-mediated, to provide a more detailed understanding of the patterns of synucleinopathy throughout the brain and to provide new targets for the treatment of disease.

Objective:To investigate the molecular characteristics, drug resistance rate and virulence genes harboring status of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) associated with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), and provide epidemiological basis for clinical antibiotic usage and infection prevention and control. Methods:The Staphylococcus aureus associated with SSTIs in Quzhou People′s Hospital from 2014 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 72 CA-MRSA isolates were screened, and molecular typing was performed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). K-B method and micro broth dilution method were used to analyze the antibiotic susceptibilities of those strains. The virulence genes screened including fibronectin binding protein genes (fnbA, fnbB),hemolysin genes (hla, hlb), enterotoxin genes (sec, seh) and leukocidin gene (PVL) were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Statistical analysis of differences between drug resistance rates and virulence genes carrier rates between ST59 and non-ST59 groups used were Chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results:ST59 type was the main epidemic clone in skin and soft tissue infection CA-MRSA in Quzhou area with account for 55.56% (40/72). All isolates had higher resistance rates to erythromycin (90.28%, 65/72), clindamycin (68.06%, 49/72) and tetracycline (41.67%, 30/72). The nitrofurantoin, daptomycin and linezolid were all sensitive. The resistance rate to clindamycin of sequence type 59 (ST59) was (85.00%, 34/40). The resistance rate of ST59 to clindamycin was significantly higher than that of other clone types (χ 2=11.886, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the resistance rates of other antibiotics. All 72 isolates exhibited carriage of virulence genes as follows, hla (97.22%, 70/72) , hlb (33.33%, 24/72) , fnbA (50.00%, 36/72) , fnbB (48.61%, 35/72) , PVL (63.89%, 46/72) , sec (4.17%, 3/72) , seh (4.17%, 3/72) . The carrier rate of PVL gene in ST59 type was (77.50%, 31/40). ST59 showed higher rates of PVL genes compared with other clone types (χ 2=7.227, P<0.01). Conclusions:The main clone of CA-MRSA associated with SSTIs in Quzhou was ST59, which was similar to other parts of the Country. The carrying rate of PVL gene of ST59 isolate was significantly higher than that of other isolates. CA-MRSA associated with SSTIs has a high resistance rate to erythromycin and clindamycin, which should not be used as the first choice in treatment.

Objective:To investigate the association between regional white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volumes and cognitive impairment in Parkinson′s disease (PD) patients.Methods:The consecutive samples of PD cohort between October 2018 and August 2019 from the Department of Movement Disorders, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and disease profiles, three-dimensional brain magnetic resonance imaging data were collected. Cognition was evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and mood was evaluated by Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). According to the MMSE score, patients were divided into PD with dementia group and PD without dementia group. WMH volume was automatically calculated using unidentified bright objects detector pipeline based on anatomical autonomic labeling atlas. Firstly, demographic and disease profiles, and WMH total volume were compared between groups with and without dementia. Then, partial correlation analysis [false discovery rate (FDR) corrected] and principal component (PC) regression analysis were used to assess the association between regional WMH volumes and the MMSE score.Results:Compared with PD without dementia group, PD with dementia group showed significantly higher WMH volume [5 125 (2 727, 13 718) mm 3vs 3 214 (1 959, 7 205) mm 3, Z=-2.256, P=0.024]. After adjusting for age, low density lipoprotein, cholesterol, and HAMD score, partial correlation analysis (FDR corrected) showed that WMH volumes in the right calcarine ( r=-0.204, PFDR-corrected=0.034), the right fusiform ( r=-0.180, PFDR-corrected=0.046), the right lingual ( r=-0.146, PFDR-corrected=0.047), the left middle temporal ( r=-0.168, PFDR-corrected=0.047), the left inferior parietal lobes ( r=-0.145, PFDR-corrected=0.047) and the right inferior parietal lobes ( r=-0.148, PFDR-corrected=0.047) were significantly associated with MMSE score. PC regression analysis demonstrated that MMSE score was significantly associated with PC2 ( B=-0.632, 95% CI -1.222--0.041, P=0.036), PC13 ( B=-1.384, 95% CI -2.155--0.613, P=0.001), and PC14 ( B=-0.913, 95% CI -1.599--0.227, P=0.009); PC2, PC13 and PC14 were mainly composed of temporo-parieto-occipital WMHs in the posterior brain, and the related WMH components accounted for 9.668% of WMH variance. Conclusions:The posterior WMH burden may be associated with cognitive impairment in PD patients. However, WMH burden may not be the main contributor to cognitive impairment in PD patients.

Objective To observe the value of isotropic volumetric MRI for displaying perineural spread(PNS)of cranial nerve(CN)in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Eighty-seven patients with pathologically proven nasopharyngeal carcinoma were prospectively enrolled.MR scanning,including three-dimensional liver acquisition with volume acceleration-flexible(3D LAVA_Flex)image,T2WI with fat suppression(T2WI-FS),T1WI,contrast enhancement(CE)T1WI-FS of nasopharynx and neck region were performed.The displaying rates of CN PNS were evaluated and compared between 3D LAVA Flex and T2WI-FS,T1WI,CE-T1WI-FS at patient level,CN group level and neural level,respectively.Results The displaying rate of CN PNS in all 87 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients by 3D LAVA_Flex sequence was 49.43％(43/87),higher than that of conventional MRI(30/87,34.48％,P=0.001).Among 59 patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed with conventional sequences,the displaying rate of CN PNS was 71.19％(42/59)by 3D LAVA-Flex sequence,higher than that of conventional MRI(30/59,50.85％,P=0.001).At both patient level and posterior CN level,significant differences of the displaying rate of CN PNS were found between 3D LAVA-Flex sequence and T2WI-FS,T1WI,CE-T1WI-FS,while at CN level,the displaying rates of mandibular nerve PNS,CN Ⅸ-Ⅺ PNS in jugular foramen(P＜0.05)and CN Ⅸ-Ⅻ PNS in carotid space of 3D LAVA_Flex sequence were all significantly higher than that of T2WI-FS,T1WI and CE-T1WI-FS(all P＜0.05),of PNS of CN Ⅲ-Ⅴ in cavernous sinus were higher than that of T2WI-FS(P＜0.05),while of PNS of hypoglossal nerve were significantly higher than that of T2WI-FS and T1WI(both P＜0.05).Conclusion 3D LAVA_Flex sequence could be used to effectively display CN PNS of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Teaching rounds is an important part of clinical teaching practice, therefore, we established a demonstration team for teaching ward rounds. By formulating standard operation procedure for teaching rounds and encouraging innovation on teaching models, the team played a demonstration role in the clinical teaching rounds, which not only made up the shortcomings in teaching, but also improved the teaching level of clinical teachers and the quality of clinical training.
