Objective To explore the executive function profiles in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)in a Chinese sample population. Methods We identified 68 outpatients fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for ADHD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV(DSM-IV)and 74 normal adults.All subjects completed clinical interview, Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A) and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB). Results ADHD group had higher scores in all factors of BRIEF-A questionnaire compared with normal control (P<0.01). ADHD group had a higher score in SWM strategy score [(30.84±5.58)vs.(28.80±5.85), t=2.056,P=0.042]compared with control group. Compared with control group, ADHD group had a lower score in RVP total hits [37(33,41.75) vs.3(37,48), Z=-3.184,P<0.01]. Total correct rejections[(508(497.5,518)vs. 516(503,529.5),Z=-2.229,P=0.0260)]were significantly lower,while RVP total misses were significantly higher [(17 (12.25,21)vs.12(7,20),Z=2.293,P=0.022)].ADHD-RS-IV attention deficit score was positively correlated with SWM strategy while RVP total misses were negatively correlated with RVP total hits and RVP correct rejections.Working memory score in BRIEF-A was significantly correlated with the SWM strategy,RVP total hits, RVP total correct rejections and RVP probable of hit as well as RVP total misses. Conclusion Adults with ADHD have executive functioning deficits which is correlated with ADHD core symptoms.

Objective: To investigate the association between dietary selenium intake and hypertension among Zhejiang residents . Methods: By multistage stratified random sampling method,four urban sites and two rural sites out of Zhejiang Province,four communities or villages out of each site,then 20 households out of each community or village were selected,and all the family members of the selected households were recruited as participants. The questionnaire of Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey was used to collect information about socio-demographic characteristics and dietary selenium intake. The blood pressure,blood lipid and other data were collected via physical examination. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between dietary selenium intake and hypertension . Results: A total of 1 222 participants with complete dietary selenium intake data were included for analysis. The number（%）of participants with selenium intake higher than the level of estimated average requirement（EAR）,between the levels of EAR and recommanded nutrient intake （RNI）,between the levels of RNI and upper intake（UI）and higher than the level of UI were 729 （59.66%）,151（12.36%）,341（27.91%）and 1（0.01%）,respectively. There were 283 （30.53%）patients with hypertension out of 927 participants examined. The mean amount of selenium intake in patients with hypertention was（43.06±20.96）μg/d,which was significantly lower than（51.56±30.06） μg/d in non-hypertention participants（P<0.05）. After adjusting for age,body mass index,total cholesterol,triglyceride and diabetes mellitus in the multivariate logistic regression model,dietary selenium intake significantly reduced the risk of hypertension（OR=0.985,95%CI：0.978-0.993） . Conclusion About 60% of residents in Zhejiang Province had lower dietary selenium intake than estimated average requirement. Higher selenium intake was associated with lower risk of hypertension.

Objective To explore the efficacy and clinical value of texture analysis of conventional MRI image for the preoperative classification of meningiomas. Methods The MR images of 101 meningioma cases were retrospectively analyzed, all of them underwent routine MRI before operation, and confirmed by surgery and pathology,of whom 81 cases in WHO Ⅰ,19 cases in Ⅱand 1 case in Ⅲ.The maximum diameter of the tumor in MRI images was outlined as ROI by the Image J software.The histograms and grey-level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)were used to measure the texture parameters,such as maximum value,minimum value,standard deviation(SD),skewness,kurtosis,angular second moment,contrast,inverse different moment, entropy, correlation and so on, and compared with postoperative pathological grading results.The independent sample t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the difference of the histogram and the gray level co-occurrence matrix parameter of the MRI images between low-grade and high-grade meningiomas. ROC curves for statistically significant parameters were used to confirm their efficacy in predicting the preoperative grade of meningiomas.Results (1)In histogram parameters,the SDs of T2WI,FLAIR,ADC(SDT2WI,SDFLAIR,SDADC)of low grade meningioma were 14.764(10.928,17.932),9.753 (7.385,13.618) and 12.171 (9.138,19.691), the high grade meningiomas were 19.252 (13.580,25.715), 13.568 (8.936,17.108) and 16.636 (13.166,21.498), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(Z values were-2.863,-2.250,-2.247,P respectively 0.004,0.024,0.025).The skewness values (SkeADC, SkeFLAIR) of ADC sequence and FLAIR sequence of low-grade meningiomas were 1.377 ± 1.172 and-1.327 ± 0.930, respectively, and the high-grade meningiomas were 2.503 ± 1.613 and-0.827±0.834,respectively.The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t values were-2.196,-3.129, P values were 0.002,0.030, respectively). (2) In the GLCM parameters, entropy (EntT1WI, EntT2WI, EntFLAIR, EntADC) of the enhanced T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR and ADC sequences of low grade meningiomas were 6.881(6.174,7.305),6.534±0.598,6.019±0.588,6.040±0.588,high-grade meningiomas were 7.079 (6.742,7.739), 7.014 ± 0.514,6.370 ± 0.703,6.576 ± 0.450, respectively. And the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=-2.007, t values were-3.294,-2.327,-3.245, P values were 0.045,0.001,0.022,0.002,respectively).(3)The ROC curves of EntADCand SkeADCwere plotted, and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.768 and 0.710,respectively.Combined EntADC,SkeADCand EntT2WI were the best for the classification of meningiomas,and AUC was 0.799.Conclusion Texture analysis can provide more quantification information, which can be more accurately distinguishing high grade meningiomas and low grade meningiomas before surgery.

An integrated segmentation method for 3D ultrasound carotid artery was proposed. 3D ultrasound image was sliced into transverse, coronal and sagittal 2D images on the carotid bifurcation point. Then, the three images were processed respectively, and the carotid artery contours and thickness were obtained finally. This paper tries to overcome the disadvantages of current computer aided diagnosis method, such as high computational complexity, easily introduced subjective errors et al. The proposed method could get the carotid artery overall information rapidly, accurately and completely. It could be transplanted into clinical usage for atherosclerosis diagnosis and prevention.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of magnetization transfer MRI (MTI) for bowel inflammation and fibrosis in humans with Crohn disease (CD). Methods From July 2014 through April 2017, 31 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CD were prospectively recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat Sen University. They were scheduled for elective surgery due to bowel obstruction and other complications, and underwent preoperative MR enterography (MRE) and MTI within 15 days of surgery. All cases had available intestinal specimens identified on MRE and resected bowel segments for region by region matching. All patients underwent breath hold conventional MRE and MTI examinations, and then the magnetization transfer ratios (MTRs) of pathological bowel segments were measured. Using region by region correlation between MTI and surgical specimen, the bowel segments were resected to stain with HE for evaluating bowel inflammation, Masson for bowel fibrosis, and typeⅠcollagen staining for the deposition of typeⅠcollagen within the bowel walls. The histologic sections from the most severe areas were scored as 0 (normal), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). The correlations between MTR and histologic scores were analyzed by using Spearman rank correlation or partial correlation. The differences in MTR among different grades of bowel fibrosis were analyzed by one way ANOVA. The efficacy of MTR for predicting bowel fibrosis was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves analysis. The difference in MTRs between purely inflammatory bowel walls and mixed fibrotic and inflammatory bowel walls was analyzed by Student s t test. Results Sixty two resected bowel specimens from 31 patients including 9 purely inflammatory bowel walls and 53 mixed fibrotic and inflammatory bowel walls were obtained in this study. There were significant differences in MTR among non fibrotic [(21.45 ± 2.65)%], mildly [(30.88 ± 6.14)%], moderately [(35.14 ± 4.31)%] and severely [(35.14 ± 4.31)%] fibrotic walls (F=38.397,P<0.01). MTRs strongly correlated with fibrosis scores (r=0.681, P<0.01). High accuracy of MTRs was shown (curve under area=0.905, P<0.01) for differentiating moderately severely fibrotic from non fibrotic and mildly fibrotic bowel walls. Using MTR of 31.50% as a cutoff value, the sensitivity and specificity were 93.6% and 80.0%, respectively. The MTRs of purely inflammatory bowel walls [(21.45 ± 2.65)%] were significantly higher than that of mixed fibrotic and inflammatory [(36.28±5.21)%] bowel walls (t=-13.052,P<0.01). MTRs correlated with the scores of type Ⅰ collagen (r=0.325, P=0.044) but did not correlate with inflammation scores (r=-0.024, P=0.857). Conclusions MTI enables quantitative evaluation of bowel fibrosis in patients with CD and can be used to differentiate purely inflammatory CD from mixed fibrotic and inflammatory CD.

Objective To develop and validate the radiomics nomogram on the discrimination of lung invasive adenocarcinoma from'non-invasive'lesion manifesting as ground glass nodule(GGN)and compare it with morphological features and quantitative imaging. Methods One hundred and sixty pathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinomas from November 2011 to December 2014 were included as primary cohort. Seventy-six lung adenocarcinomas from November 2014 to December 2015 were set as an independent validation cohort. Lasso regression analysis was used for feature selection and radiomics signature building. Radiomics score was calculated by the linear fusion of selected features. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to develop models. The prediction performances were evaluated with ROC analysis and AUC,and the different prediction performance between different models and mean CT value were compared with Delong test. The generalization ability was evaluated with the leave-one-out cross-validation method. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated in terms of its calibration. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the significance between the predictive and observe values.Results Four hundred and eighty-five 3D features were extracted and reduced to 2 features as the most important discriminators to build the radiomics signatures. The individualized prediction model was developed with age, radiomics signature, spiculation and pleural indentation, which had the best discrimination performance(AUC=0.934)in comparison with other models and mean CT value(P<0.05)and showed better performance compared with the clinical model(AUC=0.743,P<0.001).The radiomics-based nomogram demonstrated good calibration in the primary and validation cohort, and showed improved differential diagnosis performance with an AUC of 0.956 in the independent validation cohort. Conclusion Individualized prediction model incorporating with age, radiomics signature, spiculation and pleural indentation, presenting with radiomics nomogram, could differentiate IAC from'non-invasive'lesion manifesting as GGN with the best performance in comparison with morphological features and quantitative imaging.

Objective: To investigate lunch supply of public primary school canteens in Zhejiang Province, and to provide a basis for the scientific guidance of school lunch. Methods: During May to Jun. and Sept. to Oct. in 2019, lunch food supply was weighed and recorded and the number of diners in 44 public primary school canteens were summarized. Each investigation lasted for one week. Results: Food was mainly based on the taste of the students (40.91%) in the school canteen. About 45.45% of the schools referred to the Nutrition Guidelines of School Meals for students meals when making recipes in the school canteen. The supplies of cereals, vegetables, fruits, livestock and poultry meat, fish and shrimp, eggs, milk, soybean nuts, vegetable oil and salt were 109.05, 118.01, 0, 63.96, 9.25, 11.31, 0, 10.68, 10.47, 2.54 g. The supply of vegetable oil was basically the same as the recommended amount ( P >0.05). The supplies of energy, protein, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B 1, vitamin B 2, vitamin C, dietary fiber were 820.84 kcal, 32.79 g, 164.18 mg, 7.84 mg, 4.71 mg, 23.07 μgRAE, 0.41 mg, 0.35 mg, 20.47 mg, 2.34 g, 37.56% of energy from fat and 48.47% of energy from carbohydrate. The supply of vitamin B 1 was basically the same as the recommended amount ( P >0.05). There were no significant differences in all kinds of food and nutrients between urban and rural primary schools ( P >0.05). Conclusion Lunch supply is not optimistic in public primary school canteens in Zhejiang Province, with unreasonable structure and fails to agree with current nutritional recommendations. It is suggested that the scientific guidance of students meals should be carried out according to the survey results combined with the characteristics of local diet.
