In this paper, a new imaging method to determine the position of blood effusions or edemas in the deep position of the brain by using electric current flowing through the brain is presented. Its principle is that the existence of non-normal matters in the brain cause a disturbance to boundary potentials, while a low frenqency current flows through the brain. In terms of the measurement for the change value of boundary potentials a reconstruction for the blood effusion or the edema in the deep position of the brain can be done.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of the breakthrough cases of mumps in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2023, so as to provide insights into improving prevention and control measures for mumps. Methods: Data of mumps cases and mumps containing vaccine (MuCV) vaccination in Ningbo City from 2018 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System and Zhejiang Immunization Planning Information System. The population distribution characteristics and MuCV immunization history of mumps breakthrough cases were described. The impacts of the final immunization age and immunization interval on the age of onset were analyzed. Results: A total of 6 643 mumps cases were reported in Ningbo City from 2018 to 2023, with an average incidence rate of 11.72/105. There were 5 142 breakthrough cases (77.40%), including 3 173 males (61.71%) and 1 969 females (38.29%). The median age of onset was 6.00 (interquartile range, 4.00) years. There were 2 487 cases in preschool children (48.37%) and 2 232 cases in students (43.41%). There were 4 736 one-dose breakthrough cases (92.10%) and 406 two-dose breakthrough cases (7.90%). The proportion of two-dose breakthrough cases among all mumps cases increased from 1.00% in 2018 to 25.32% in 2023. Among individuals born after December 2018, the median age of onset of two-dose breakthrough cases was 3.00 (interquartile range, 1.00) years, which was older than that of one-dose breakthrough cases at 1.00 (interquartile range, 2.00) year (P<0.05). The ages of onset of mumps breakthrough cases differed significantly with varying final immunization ages and immunization intervals (both P<0.05). Conclusions The breakthrough cases of mumps in Ningbo City from 2018 to 2023 were mainly males, preschool children and students. The proportion of two-dose breakthrough cases increased, and the age of onset delayed.

Objectives To investigate the effects of nerve nutrient factors and inhibitory factors on neuronal regen? eration and axonal reconstruction at ischemic neocortical penumbra after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods The rat model of middle cerebral artery ischemia was established using suture-occluded method. The pathological morpholo? gy of brain tissue was examined by using HE staining. The expression levels of GAP-43 SYN, nutrient factor (BDNF VEGF Ang1) and inhibitory factor (NogoA NogoR RhoA) were determined by using Western blotting technique. Results The number of neurons in ischemic penumbra was significantly decreased in model group (P<0.01) than in sham-operat? ed group. The expression levels of GAP-43 were significantly decreased (P<0.05) while the expression levels of NogoA NgR and RhoA in the thalamus were significantly increased (P<0.05) in model group than in sham-operated group. The expression levels of SYN and nutrient factors (BDNF VEGF Ang1) were not different between the model group and sham-operated group. Conclusion The increase in nerve inhibitory factors may contribute to the down-regulation of neu?rogenesis at ischemic neocortical penumbra after focal cerebral ischemia in rats.

Objective To explore the relationship between adenoid vegetation children with different types of tympanograms and secretory otitis media in children and diagnosis of secretory otitis media .Methods A retrospec-tive study was carried out among 328 cases with adenoid vegetation in children ,including simple adenoid vegetation and associated with chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy ,from August 2010 to May 2012 .The incidence of secretory otitis media and outcomes of tympanometry for the diagnosis were analyzed .Results 104 cases were diag-nosed with secretory otitis media by tympanic membrane puncture or tympanostomy tube in 328 cases with adenoid vegetation (32 .31% );86 cases (147 ears) were finally diagnosed as secretory otitis media among 89 cases (152 ears) with type B tympanogram (147/152 ,96 .63% );16 cases (20 ears) were finally diagnosed secretory otitis media among 33 cases (49 ears) with type C tympanogram (20/49 ,40 .82% );2 cases (2 ears) with type As tympa-nogram were finally diagnosed .Conclusion With or without complaint of hearing loss ,children with adenoid vegeta-tion should be checked by routine tympanometry .Careful physical examinations and electric otoscope or ear endosco-py combined tympanometry can greatly reduce the rate of misdiagnosis of secretory otitis media .

Objective To investigate the risk factors for venous thromboembolism in elderly patients with lung cancer,in order to provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 869 elderly patients who were treated in our hospital from Mar.2010 to Mar.2014.And the venous thromboembolism and its related risk factors in elderly lung cancer patients were analyzed.Results 35 cases (4.35％) complicated with venous tbromboembolism.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that adenocarcinoma,basic diseases,and D-dipolymer≥300 μg/L belonged to the independent risk factors for the complication of venous thromboembolism in elderly patients with lung cancer (OR=2.839,1.586 and 10.514,respectively,P=0.007,0.022 and 0.000).Conclusions The risk factors for the complication of venous thromboembolism should be monitored in the treatment of elderly patients with lung cancer.Early anticoagulation therapy should be performed to improve clinical effect and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of early biomarkers in neonatal asphyxia diagnosis with myocardial damage by detection of ischemia modified albumin in neonatal serum(IMA) and glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB(GPBB) for screening sensitive markers with direct myocardial injury.Methods 166 neonates were selected in our hospital as the research object,in which 136 cases with myocardial injury dividend into the experimental group and 30 cases into the control group.The experimental group were divided into mild group and severe group according to the degree of asphyxia.All the children were tested for GPBB and IMA 1 h after admission.Results The levels of GPBB in neonatal asphyxia myocardial injury group and severe asphyxia group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The sensitivity of GPBB in diagnosis of asphyxia was higher than that of IMA,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The degree of asphyxia is closely related to serum IMA,GPBB level in neonatal asphyxia complicated with myocardial injury.The sensitivity and specificity of GPBB in diagnosis asphyxia is better than IMA in children complicated with myocardial damage.
