Objective To evaluate the injury of optic radiation after ischemic stroke with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods From September, 2014 to September, 2015, twenty-one ischemic stroke inpatients with visual field defects were tested with DTI, and measured the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of both sides in different time. The correlation of FA and ADC to visual field mean defect (MD) in the same time was analyzed. Results The FA of affected sides was lower than that of healthy sides twenty-four hours (t=2.38, P<0.05), one week (t=15.60, P<0.01) and four weeks (t=19.13, P<0.01) after stroke, and the ADC was also lower twenty-four hours (t=10.13, P<0.01) and one week (t=6.06, P<0.01) after stroke. The FA correlated with MD one (r=0.581, P<0.01) and four weeks (r=0.703, P<0.01) after stroke, and the ADC correlated with MD twenty-four hours after stroke (r=0.519, P<0.05). The FA of one (r=0.525, P<0.05) and four weeks (r=0.762, P<0.01) after stroke correlated with MD six months after stroke. Conclusion DTI can be used to evaluate the injury of optic radiation after ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the relationship between white matter lesions(WML) and cognitive impairment in migraine with and without aura.Methods 56 migraine without aura patients (MwoA group),22 migraine with aura patients(MA group) and 30 normal controls were recruited.All of them were performed head MRI examination and were evaluated by operational definitions of ARWMC and Mattis Dementia Ratiing Scale(DRS),and compare among three groups,discuss the relationship between WML and cognitive impairment.Results (1) Compared with control group,the occurrence rate of WML in MA group was significantly higher(40.9％ vs 13.3％,x2=22.74,P＜0.01).The OD-ARWMC score was significantly higher in both MA and MwoA groups((0.73±l.12) vs (0.13±0.35),t=2.76,P＜0.01;(0.36±0.67) vs (0.13±0.35),t=1.75,P＜0.05).Compared with MwoA group,the occurrence rate of WML and the OD-ARWMC score of MA group was significantly higher(t=22.80,P＜0.01;t=1.79,P＜0.05).(2) During the attack period,the DRS total scale and its 5 factors (attention,initiation/perseveration,concept formation,construction and memory) were significantly lower in both MwoA and MA group(P＜0.05 or 0.01) than control group,while the DRS total scale and its two factors (attention,concept formation) of MA group were significantly lower than that of MwoA group (P＜ 0.01).During the intermission period,the concept formation and memory scale in MA group was significantly lower than control group(P＜0.05),only memory factor in MwoA group was significantly lower than control group(P＜0.05),while the initiation/perseveration factor scale of MA group was significantly lower than MwoA group(P＜0.05).(3) There Was a negative correlation between OD-ARWMC scale and the total DRS scale as well as its three factors (attention,concept formation,memory)during attack period in MA group(r=-0.584,P＜0.01;r=-0.465,P＜0.05;r=-0.558,P＜0.01;r=-0.439,P＜0.05).There was a negative correlation between OD-ARWMC scale and the total DRS scale as well as concept formation factor during attack period in MwoA group (r=-0.328,P＜ 0.05;r =-0.276,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Migraine patients may have white matter lesions and cognitive impairment,especially in MA patients and during attack period.

Objective To investigate the alteration and possible compensation mechanism of the default mode network (DMN) in patients with subacute pontine infarction.Methods Rs-fMRI data were collected from 23 patients with subacute pontine infarction and 23 normal controls.The data was analyzed with the functional connectivity (FC) method and compared between subacute pontine infarction patients and controls.All imaging was performed on a Philips Achieva 3.0T MRI scanner.Posterior cingulated cortox (PCC) was used as seed points to analyze the FC changes in the brain regions between the pontine infarction group and the controls.The discrepancies of experiment data between two groups were compared by using two-sample t-test analysis.Results The FC of the DMN showed a significant increase in the right postcentral gyrus, left medial prefrontal cortex and left precuneus compared with normal controls and a significant decrease in bilateral insula,posterior lobe of the left cerebellum,right parahippocampal gyrus and left inferior occipital gyrus.Conclusion The DMN altered in patients with subacute pontine infarction and the changes of the FC suggested the plasticity of cortical or compensation in the relevant brain areas.

Objective To investigate any changes in motor functional connectivity in the brains of acute ischemic stroke patients after low frequency electrical stimulation.Methods Twenty-five ischemic stroke patients were given low frequency electrical stimulation in addition to their conventional rehabilitation treatment.Another 20 patients received only conventional treatment as a control group.Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRl)was employed to assess motor function connectivity in the brains of all 45 subjects before and after treatment.Any differences in functional impairment,extremity motor function or ability in the activities of daily living were also recorded before and after treatment.Results In both groups,average scores on the Canadian neurological scale (CNS)and the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) had been reduced significantly after treatment and FuglMeyer assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) scores had significantly increased.The average improvements in terms of FMA and MBI scores were significantly greater in the observation group.Compared with before treatment,the coefficient of functional connectivity of the bilateral motor cortex had decreased significantly after treatment in both groups.In the observation group the changes were significantly correlated with the improvements in FMA scores.Conclusion Neural functional impairment after ischemic stroke can be reduced significantly and extremity motor function and ability in the activities of daily living can be significantly improved by low frequency electrical stimulation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and changes of cognitive function,and the possible mechanism of cognitive impairment caused by CMBs.Methods Sixty-eight micro-hemorrhage patients on susceptibility weighted imagine (SWI) sequences composed positive group,and sixty-eight patients selected without micro-hemorrhage in the SWI sequence and meeting the selection criteria as control group.At the same time,both two groups were assessed by MoCA and CDT scale inspection.Results CDT scores of CMBs group (2.00±0.88) were significantly lower than those of control group (3.76±0.53),and there was significantly different in the two groups (t=-3.27,P=0.00).At the same time,MoCA total scores and executive functions,naming,calculation,language,abstraction,recall scores of CMBs group were significantly lower than those of control group,and all of the groups were significantly different (t=-5.48,P=0.00; t=-4.36,P=0.00; t=-2.35,P=0.01 ; t=-2.49,P=0.02; t=-4.09,P=0.00; t=-4.63,P=0.00).CDT scores,MoCA total scores,executive functions,language,abstraction,memory scores between CMBs groups and control group were significantly different at all levels (P＜0.05).Executive functions,languages and calculated inter-group of mild CMBs,moderate CMBs,severe CMBs were significantly different (P＜0.05).The number of CMBs was negative correlation with total scores,executive function,language,and abstract (r=-0.675,P=0.000; r=-0.689,P=0.000; r=-0.536,P=0.000; r=-0.636,P=0.000).Conclusion The existence of CMBs and the number of CMBs are closely related to cognitive dysfunction.The more of CMBs,the more of obvious cognitive impairment.

ObjectiveTo detect the fiber structure and volume differences in frontal lobe between patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and normal control.MethodsT1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging were obtained in 28 aMCI patients and 25 normal controls.Volumes,fiber fractional anisotropy (FA),fiber apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),fiber number,and average fiber length of frontal lobe in the two groups were measured.ResultsVolumes of left frontal lobe ( ( 337.35 ± 20.45 ) cm3 ) in aMCI group were smaller than control ( (358.54 ± 27.26) cm3 ) ( t =- 3.223,P =0.002 ).Numbers of short range fiber in left frontal lobe ( 16985 ± 892) were significantly increased relative to control ( 16387 ±752) ; while numbers of long range fiber (3214 ± 185 ) were reduced compared with control (3425 ± 277 ),and ADC values increased ( t =2.621,P =0.012; t =-3.714,P =0.001 ; t =17.595,P=0.000).In aM CI group,numbers of long range fiber in right frontal lobe were reduced (2895 ± 343 vs.3451 -± 230,t =- 7.011,P =0.000),and ADC values were increased ( t =4.443,P =0.000).In aMCI group,numbers of long range fiber in left frontal lobe were positively correlated with scores of mini-mental state examination ( MMSE ) ( r =0.457,P =0.015 ),while ADC values of long range fiber in left frontal lobe were negatively correlated with scores of MMSE ( r=-0.415,P=0.028).ConclusionThe structure and fiber connectivity are affected in aMCI patients and the lesion of connectivity in left frontal lobe are related to the severity of symptom.

Objective To study the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of torsion of testes in newborn. Method Neonates who were diagnosed with neonatal testicular torsion and admitted to Shenzhen Children's Hospital from March 2008 to July 2018 were studied. The clinical data such as days in age, time of onset, clinical manifestations, time of ultrasound examination, characteristics of ultrasound examination, surgery time, surgical types, postoperative conditions, pathological findings, and follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed. Result A total of 12 infants with torsion of testes were enrolled. The average onset time was 2.9 d, ranged from 1～10 d. The time of onset was within 24 h after birth in six infants. The median duration from onset to seeing a doctor was 3.5 d, ranged from 2 h to 28 d. First manifestations being reported grammer were scrotal swelling or mass, including 7 cases on the left side and 5 cases on the right side. Among them, 9 cases were associated with redness or cyanosis of the scrotum. Ultrasound was characterized by the disappearance or significant reduction of testicular parenchymal blood flow signal, and the sensitivity of ultrasound was 100％. The average time from admission to operation was (2.1±1.1) h. All the 12 infants had orchiectomy,after necrosis of unilateral testicle was confirmed. Eight of them underwent contralateral test icular fixation. The average operation time was 46 min. There was no wound bleeding or infection postoperatively, and the average hospital stay was 6.4 d. The pathological features were blurred residual contour of the seminiferous tubule (9 cases) or the disappearance of the seminiferous tubule structure (3 cases). After 3 to 24 months of follow-up, no contralateral testicular torsion or atrophy was found. Conclusion The rate of testicular necrosis in children with torsion of testes is high. The newborn with scrotal swelling should be diagnosed promptly with color Doppler ultrasound. If necessary, surgical exploration should be performed in time.

Objective To investigate the relationship between interventricular septum thickness(IVS) and renal function in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods Two hundred and sixty-five patients of type 2 diabetes without dialysis were enrolled in a cross-sectional study.According to their IVS,the patients were divided into normal group (IVS≤ 11 mm) and higher IVS group (IVS ＞ 11 mm).All patients according to evaluated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) level were divided into eGFR≥60 ml· min-1 · (1.73 m2) 1 group and eGFR ＜ 60 ml· min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 group.The demographic characteristic,biochemical examination,eGFR,and proteinuria of different groups were compared.Pearson or spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between eGFR,IVS and other parameters.eGFR ＜ 60 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 and IVS thickening were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Risk factors affect the prognosis of renal function in patients with diabetes mellitus were analyzed by Cox regression analysis.Results Compared with normal group,patients in the higher IVS group had higher systolic pressure (P=0.002),their level of Scr,BUN,24 h urinary protein were increased (all P ＜ 0.05),while the level of eGFR,albumin (ALB),hemoglobin (Hb) and fasting blood glucose were decreased (all P ＜ 0.05).The prevalence of hypertension was increased (81.16％ vs 58.67％,x2=11.273,P=0.001),and there was also a difference in the proportion of patients in each stage of CKD (x2=34.593,P ＜ 0.001).Correlation analysis showed that IVS was positively correlated with BMI,systolic BP,Scr,BUN,24 h urinary albumin,24 h urinary protein (all P ＜ 0.05),while negative correlation was observed between the thickened degree of IVS and Hb,albumin,eGFR and total calcium (all P ＜ 0.05).It's worth noting that IVS also correlated with history of hypertension and degree of renal injury (all P ＜ 0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that longer duration of diabetes,higher systolic pressure and BUN were independent risk factors for eGFR ＜ 60 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 (all P ＜ 0.05),while higher Hb and Alb were independent protective factors for eGFR ＜ 60 ml· min-1· (1.73 m2)-1 (all P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis also showed that the baseline increased Scr was independent risk factor for interventricular thickening (P ＜ 0.05),while the increase of fasting blood-glucose was independent protective factor for interventricular thickening (P ＜ 0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that interventricular thickening was an independent risk factor in predicting the progression of type 2 diabetes (HR=1.396,95％ CI=1.098-1.774,P=0.006).Conclusion Interventricular septum thickness is closely related to the state of renal function,as well as is an independent risk factor to predict kidney function decline in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective:To compare the perioperative outcomes between robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy(RPD)and laparoscopic pancreaticoduode-nectomy(LPD)in patients aged ≥65 years. Methods:The clinical data of 130 patients aged ≥65 years who received minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy(MIPD)at Department of Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Surgery,Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the RPD group(n=66)and the LPD group(n=64)according to the operation method,and the perioperative clinical data were compared between the 2 groups. Results:Compared with the LPD group,the average age of patients in the RPD group was higher than that of the LPD group[(71.95±4.73)years vs(70.39±3.9)years,P＜0.05];the RPD group had more patients with diabetes(39.4％vs 18.8％,P＜0.05)and cardiopulmonary diseases(37.9％vs 17.2％,P＜0.05);the RPD group had shorter operation time[(272.91± 68.38)min vs(362.81±78.24)min,P＜0.05]and less intraoperative blood loss[median(range):1 00 mL(50-200 mL)vs 1 50 mL(1 00-200 mL),P＜0.05)];the RPD group had higher incidence of chylous fistula(1 2.1％vs 1.6％,P＜0.05)but lower incidence of surgical morbidity(37.9％vs 46.9％),serious complications(19.7％vs 34.4％),postoperative pancreatic fistula(12.1％vs 17.2％),biliary fistula(3.0％vs 3.1％),abdominal infection(10.6％vs 14.1％),postoperative bleeding(4.5％vs 4.5％),and postoperative cardiopulmonary complications(1 2.1％vs 20.3％)with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05);the RPD group waited shorter time before restarting diet[(3.97±1.59)d vs(5.34±2.56)d,P＜0.05]. Conclusion:MIPD is safe and feasible in patients aged ≥65 years.The incidence of perioperative complications is similar between the 2 groups.Compared with LPD,RPD has shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,and shorter duration before restarting diet after operation,which has certain clinical advantages.
