Objective The aim of this study was to describe the FICE application on gastric mucosa characteristics including normal and pathological changes, with or without H.pylori infection, and its corre-lation with histopathoingical evidence. Methods A total of 32 patients with dyspepsia symptoms and 5 healthy controls were enrolled into study. Each one underwent esophngogastreduedenoscopy (EGD) examina-tion with FICE and magnified observation. The whole stomach was examined by 3 steps: including conven-tional endoscopy followed by magnifying and FICE observation of the gastric antrum and body as well as biop-sies. All the patients were asked to take the rapid urease test (RUT) 、13C -urea breath test (13C-UBT) . Gastric antrum and body were both sub-classified into following 3 patterns by FICE observation and high reso-lution magnifying endoscopy. The sensitivity, specificity of each FICE pattern of both gastric antrum and body were analysed for the assessment of H. pylori infection, and the consistency with the results of RUT and 13C-UBT. Furthermore, the histopathologic parameters including inflammation、activity、atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were also assessed, Results FICE patterns of gastric antrum and body of all 5 control subjects were type Ⅰ, corresponded to an H. pylori negative and non-atrephy gastric mueosa. In study group on gastric antrum, 14 cases of FICE type Ⅰ pattern were noted and only 1/14(7. 1%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive gastric mucosa. 13 cases of FICE type Ⅱ pattern were noted and 10/13 (76. 9%) corresponded to an H.pylori positive mucosa and 9/13(69. 2%) were positive for both gastric atrophy. 5 cases of FICE type Ⅲ pattern were noted and 5/5 (100%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive mucosa and 3/5 (60%) were positive for both gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. There was statistical difference in prediction of H. pylori infection between type Ⅰ FICE pattern and type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ pattern on gastric antrum (P <0. 01). In study group on gastric body, 15 cases of FICE type Ⅰ pattern were noted and only 1/14(7. 1%) corre-sponded to an H. pylori positive gastric mucosa. 13 cases of FICE type Ⅱ pattern were noted and 11/13 (84. 6%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive mucosa. 4 cases of FICE type Ⅲ pattern were noted and 4/4 (100%) corresponded to an H.pylori positive mucosa. There was statistical difference in prediction of H. pylori infection between type Ⅰ FICE pattern and type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ pattern on gastric body (P < 0. 01). Conclusion FICE in combination with high resolution magnifying endoscopy is valuable for identifying the normal gastric mucosa, H.pylori infection and its associated gastritis, gastric atrophy as well as intestinal metaplasia.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic ability of fusion images of SWI and DWI in ischemic penumbra(IP)of patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods 47 AIS patients were retrospective analyzed.Two neuroradiologists analyzed the fusion images of SWI and DWI respectively.SDM was defined as that the hypo-intensity signals of intramedullary or sulcal veins were dilated or increased on fusion images compared with contralateral areas.The results compared with the PDM,which was considered as the“gold standard”.Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)were used to assess the efficacy of SDM which determined by fusion images and compared to PDM.Chi-square test was used to analyze the consistency between the two neuroradiologists and also the consistency between SDM and PDM in IP assessment Results The fusion images of SWI and DWI had a high diagnostic efficacy compared to PDM, AUC of the two radiologists were 0.885,0.877,the diagnostic sensitivity were 84.2%,78.9% and specificity were 92.9%,96.4%respectively.There was also a high consistency in SDM assessment through fusion images between the two neuroradiologists (Kappa=0.908,P >0.05). Conclusion Fusion images of SWI and DWI have a high diagnostic efficacy in IP assessment,which may be considered as a simple approach for IP assessment in patients with AIS.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of intra-arterial thrombi under went susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods The MRI images of 133 patients with AIS was analyzed,included time of flight MR angiography(TOF-MRA )and SWI.The patients were divided into two groups according to the time between onset of symptoms and MR imaging (group A,interval time<24 h;group B,interval time 24-72 h).Two neuroradiologists who were blin-ded to the patients clinical information,documented the number and location of susceptibility vessel sign (SVS)in SWI and embolic occlusion or stenosis on TOF-MRA in AIS patients.Results The thrombus detection rate in group A was higher than that in group B.There was no significant difference in the overall detection rate of thrombi between SWI and TOF-MRA in all AIS patients,but the thrombi detection rate in M3 segement of middle cerebral artery(MCA)with SWI was higher than that with TOF-MRA in group A(P <0.05).Conclusion SWI performs a high diagnostic value for thrombus detection in AIS patients,especially for the thrombus detection of M3 segement in early period of AIS.

Objective To explore the influence of WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode on refracture of osteoporotic fracture patients.Methods Totally 100 osteoporotic fracture patients admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of the hospital from 2018 to 2019 were selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group with 50 patients in each group.The control group adopted the conventional discharge rehabilitation guidance mode,and the experimental group implemented WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode on this basis,including WeChat platform construction and detailed intervention mode.The changes of bone mineral density and the recurrence rate of osteoporotic fracture were compared between the two groups at admission and after 3 years of follow-up.Results There were 7 cases of lost follow-up in the experimental group,and there were 6 cases of lost follow-up in the control group.After 3 years,the bone mineral density of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the recurrence fracture rate was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode can effectively improve bone density and reduce the incidence of refracture in osteoporotic fracture patients.

Objective To compare the effect of fluoroscopic triggering method and empirical delay method on image quality in the liver Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhanced MRI,and to investigate the value of fluoroscopic triggering method in Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhanced MRI.Methods The patients underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhanced MRI were randomly divided into two groups according to the starting modes in the artery phase.Group A used fluoroscopic triggering method and group B used empirical delay method.Eliminating the images with severe respiratory motion artifacts,the quality of the remaining images in 78 cases of group A and 85 cases of group B were assessed in scores (excellent=5 scores;good=4 scores).Data was statistically analyzed with Mann-whitney tests,and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results The excellent rate of the images in group A was 96.15% (75/78).The excellent rate of the images in group B was 67.06% (57/85).There were significant differences between the two groups in the excellent rate (χ2=27.889, P<0.001)and the image quality scores (Z=-4.747,P<0.001).Conclusion For the liver Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhanced MRI, fluoroscopic triggering method is more likely to get better image quality and higher success rate in artery phase than empirical delay method,which indicates that fluoroscopic triggering method have obviously advantages in clinical applications.

Objective: Based on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) variables on weekdays and weekends, the study aims to cluster the physical activities inside and outside kindergartens and to explore the cluster characteristics of different children using physical fitness indicators, so as to provide new strategies and methods for early childhood education and health. Methods: From March to June 2019, 291 children aged 3-6 years from 6 kindergartens in Nanchang were recruited by a stratified cluster random sampling method. The ActiGraph GT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer was used to measure and analyze the PA and SB levels inside and outside the kindergarten. A twostep clustering algorithm model was employed for cluster analysis. Physical fitness were measured and evaluated according to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standard Manual (Preschool Section)". Differences in physical fitness among different clusters of children were compared, and the cluster characteristics of different children were analyzed. Results: The clustering algorithm model indicated that based on six indicators, including PA and SB inside the kindergarten on weekdays, and PA and SB outside the kindergarten on both weekdays and weekends, children could be divided into three categories:active inside (high PA, low SB inside), active outside (high PA outside), and inactive (low PA, high SB both inside and outside). The average silhouette coefficient of the model was 0.3, indicating good clustering results. Both the active inside and active outside children showed significantly higher PA inside on weekdays, PA outside on weekdays and weekends, daily low intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the inactive children ( F=157.91, 80.79 , 95.86, 95.52, 124.74, P <0.05). After adjusting for gender and age, the physical fitness scores of both active outside ( 19.03 ±0.47) and active inside (19.11±0.40) were significantly higher than those of the inactive children (17.94±0.31). Additionally, active inside children (3.91±0.14) also showed significantly better performance in continuous double-leg jumps, compared to inactive children (3.45±0.11) ( P <0.05). Conclusion Children active inside and those active outside perform well in PA. Future research should focus on the proportion of structured and unstructured PA time to enhance the overall physical fitness of children.

Objective: To assess the collateral grade based on 4-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (4D-MRA) in predicting short-term outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) . Methods: Forty-seven patients with unilateral MCA stroke were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent multi-modality MRI within 4.5 to 24.0 hours onset of stroke. The collateral grade was assessed through the dynamic MRI angiograms derived from perfusion raw data. The AIS patients were divided into favorable and unfavorable outcome group according to the improvement of national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score. The differences in baseline data, infarct volume, the ratio of volume of ischemic tissue on perfusion to infarct core on diffusion (rVPD) and collateral grade between the two groups were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify variable influencing the short-term clinical outcomes. The Kappa coefficient was used to analyze the consistency of the collateral grade assessed between the two observers. Spearman rank-order correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between the collateral grade, infarct volume, hypoperfusion volume and rVPD. Results: The collateral grade used ASITN/SIR based on 4D-MRA was performed in 47 patients. Grade 1 in 4 patients, grade 2 in 21paitients, grade 3 in 16 patients and grade 4 in 6 patients, respectively. The collateral grade had a high consistency among the observers (Kappa=0.806, P<0.01). Of the patients who enrolled the study, the median of infarct volume was 29.63 (4.92, 69.17) ml, the hypoperfusion volume was 73.76 (29.75, 178.42) ml, and the rVPD was 3.1 (1.5, 5.8). It was negatively correlated with initial infarct volume (r=-0.627, P<0.01) and hypoperfusion volume (r=-0.354, P<0.01) . There was a significant positive correlation between the collateral grade and rVPD (r=0.575, P<0.001). There was also significant differences in infarct volume, rVPD, and collateral grade between favorable and unfavorable outcome group (P<0.05). The collateral grade based on 4D-MRA was an independent predictor of favorable clinical outcome (OR=4.419, P<0.05) . Conclusions The collateral circulation classification based on 4D-MRA proved to be a significant predictor of clinical outcome, it can be considered as a reliable method for analyzing the cerebral hemodynamic changes and collateral grade in AIS patients.

At present, the passive simulated lung including the splint lung is an important device for hospitals and manufacturers in testing the functions of a respirator. However, the human respiration simulated by this passive simulated lung is quite different from the actual respiration. And it is not able to simulate the spontaneous breathing. Therefore, including" the device simulating respiratory muscle work "," the simulated thorax" and" the simulated airway", an active mechanical lung to simulate human pulmonary ventilation was designed:3D printed human respiratory tract was developed and connected the left and right air bags at the end of the respiratory tract to simulate the left and right lungs of the human body. By controlling a motor running to drive the crank and rod to move a piston back and forth, and to deliver an alternating pressure in the simulated pleural, and so as to generate an active respiratory airflow in airway. The experimental respiratory airflow and pressure from the active mechanical lung developed in this study are consistent with the target airflow and pressure which collected from the normal adult. The developed active mechanical lung function will be conducive to improve the quality of the respirator.
