Objective To explore the correlation between ostiomeatal complex(OMC)variation, nasal septum deviation and nasosinusitis with CT imaging.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 256 patients undergoing nasal and paranasal CT examination from June 1, 2015 to May 30, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with paranasal sinus fractures, tumors and artifacts were not included in this study.Taking the image of standard coronal MPR built with thin axial sections at the level of middle of semilunar fissure as observing image,and the direction,location and extent of OMC variations were observed and recorded. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of nasal septum deviation.OMC mutation,the incidence of unilateral mutation,incidence of paranasal sinusitis and the incidence of unilateral bilateral nasal sinusitis between the two groups was analyzed by χ2test with two independent samples. Then according to the presence or absence of OMC mutation, the patients were divided into two groups.The incidence of paranasal sinusitis and bilateral paranasal sinusitis were compared between the two groups. Results Two hundred and fifty six cases of CT imging of parannasal sinus were included in the study,96 cases were with nasal septum deviation, 160 were with non-deviation of nasal septum. The incidence rate of OMC variation between the two groups showed significant difference(χ2=38.40,P<0.05).The incidence rate of unilateral and bilateral OMC variation showed significant difference(χ2=13.70,P<0.05),among which 54 were unilateral variations,50(92.6%)variations were located at the same side of nasal deviation(side of the nasal cavity widened).The incidence rate of sinusitis between the two groups showed non-significant difference(χ2=0.50,P>0.05).The incidence rate between unilateral and bilateral nasosinusitis showed non-significant difference(χ2=2.25,P>0.05).Of the 256 cases,128 were with OMC variations,and 128 were with non-OMC variation.The incidence rate of nasosinusitis between the two groups showed non-significant difference(χ2=0.56,P>0.05). The incidence rate between unilateral and bilateral nasosinusitis showed non-significant difference(χ2=3.57,P>0.05). Conclusion Ipsilateral OMC variation occurred in nasal septum deviation might be a compensation to nasal cavity widening while not a obstructive factor in causing nasosinusitis.

Objective To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) heavy chain on neuron regeneration. Methods Cell culture, rats, immunofluorescence, SDS-PAGE and western blot, etc. were adopted in this study to explore the alterations of histone-3 acetylation (acetyl-H3 ) by local treatment of BoNT/A heavy chain to spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats (in vivo) or by adding it into cell culture (in vitro). Meanwhile, the relevance of acetyl-H3 to neurite out-growth based on SCI and cell culture with BoNT/A heavy chain application was approached as well. Results The application of BoNT/A heavy chain to cultured Neuro-2a cells increased the level of H3 acetylation. The increase of H3 acetylation was paralleled with the growth of neuritogenesis. Also, the neuronal treatment of BoNT/A heavy chain to SCI promoted the re-growth of neuronal processes surrounding the lesions. The growth of neuronal processes was positively correlated to the level of H3 acetylation. During the periods of BoNT/A heavy chain treatment in vivo or in vitro, the increase of H3 acetylation showed two peaks. Conclusions BoNT/A heavy chain increased the H3 acetylation, which might be one of its neuritogenic mechanisms.

Objective To develop a diagnostic model based on deep neural network for intelligent discrimination of thyroid function. Methods A total of 1616 patients ( 283 males, 1333 females, average age:52 years) who underwent thyroid imaging between May 2016 and June 2018 were selected. According to the clinical diagnosis, the 1616 cases included 299 normal thyroid cases, 876 hyperthyroidism cases and 441 hypothyroidism cases. Feature extraction and learning training were performed on 1000 training set sam-ples by two deep neural network models ( AlexNet;deep convolution generative adversarial networks ( DCGAN) ) using deep learning algorithm. Performance verifications were implemented on 616 test set samples. The con-sistency between the verification results of the two models and the clinical diagnosis was analyzed by Kappa test. Meanwhile, the time advantage of the intelligent diagnosis models was analyzed. Results The average diagnostic time of AlexNet model was 1 s/case, and the classification accuracy for normal thyroid, hyperthy-roidism, hypothyroidism were 82.29%(79/96), 94.62%(369/390), 100%(130/130), respectively. The Kappa value between results of AlexNet model and clinical diagnosis was 0.886 ( P<0.05) . The average di-agnostic time of DCGAN model was 1 s/case, and the classification accuracy for normal thyroid, hyperthy-roidism, hypothyroidism were 85.42%(82/96), 95.64%(373/390), 99.23%(129/130), respectively. The Kappa value between results of DCGAN model and clinical diagnosis was 0.904 ( P<0.05) . Conclusion The deep neural network intelligent diagnosis model can quickly determine the functional status of thyroid gland in thyroid imaging, and it has a high recognition accuracy, thus providing a new method for thyroid image review.

Neurodevelopmental disorders(NDDs)are chronic developmental brain disorders that can affect cognition,motor,social adaptation,behavior and so on due to multiple genetic or acquired causes.Natural polysaccharides are synthesized by living organisms,located in the cell wall,inside and between cells,and outside the cells,and are essential components of life activities.Previous studies have found that natural polysaccharides play an important role in neurological diseases,which mainly ameliorate the behavioral abnormalities and clinical symptoms caused by anti-oxidative stress,anti-neuronal apoptosis,anti-neuroinflammation,anti-excitatory amino acid toxicity,and regulation of the brain-gut axis.This review summarizes the intervention role of 17 bioactive polysaccharides from plants and fungi in neurological diseases,aiming to provide new ideas for the research and treatment of NDDs.
