Objective To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) based on ISHIM sequence in the grading of astrocytic tumor.Methods We collected excised tumors confirmed by histological diagnosis from 42 patients including high-grade astrocytic tumors (10 WHO grade Ⅲ,18 WHO grade Ⅳ),and 14 low-grade astrocytic tumors (1 WHO grade Ⅰ and 13 WHO grade Ⅱ).All patients underwent conventional MR imaging,ISHIM IVIM-DWI,and contrast-enhanced MR imaging.Parameters of tumor parenchyma region,peripheral edema regions and the contralateral normal brain white matter sites were measured,and the statistical analysis was conducted.Results The D value in tumor parenchyma region was significantly lower,but the D* and f values were higher in high-grade astrocytic tumor when compared with lowgrade one and all had statistical significance;in tumor peripheral edema region,D value was lower in high-grade astrocytic tumor than that in low-grade one,and the difference had statistical significance but there was no significant difference in terms of the D* and f values.There was no significant difference of the D,D* and f values in contralateral normal brain white matter sites in both high-and low-grade astrocytic tumor.Conclusion The D,D* and f values measured by ISHIM IVIM-DWI are helpful to the judgment of tumor grade and it has greatapplication value in the differential diagnosis of high-and low-grade astrocytic tumor.

Objective To investigate the strengths and weaknesses of SPAIR and WE in iShim-IVIM of breast gland MRI scanning. Methods Twenty patients with breast tumor underwent iShim-IVIM and DCE-MRI scanning by SPAIR and WE technology. SNR ,CNR and ADC of the SPAIR-iShim and WE-iShim imaging were cal-culated and imaging quality were evaluated. Statistical analysis was done afterwards. Results The SNR and CNR of WE technology is higher than those of SPAIR statistically (P<0.05). There is no significant statistical differ-ence in score of the images between SPAIR and WE(P>0.05). The ADC of the center of the tumor has no signifi-cant statistical difference between SPAIR and WE(P>0.05). Conclusion The quality of the images using WE is significantly improved than SPAIR ,but both of them can meet the diagnostic requirements ,and the ADC has no statistical difference as well.

Objective:To explore the effect of time-sensitive incentive nursing on psychological resilience, quality of life, nursing satisfaction and disease cognition of postoperative patients with chronic sinusitis (CS) .Methods:From January 2019 to July 2020, the convenience sampling method was used to select 60 postoperative patients with CS who were admitted to Fuyang Hospital of Anhui Medical University as the research objects. Patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group carried out conventional nursing, and the observation group was given conventional nursing combined with time-sensitive incentive nursing. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) , the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) dimensions of mental health, general health, physical functioning and role emotional were used to compare the psychological resilience and quality of life of the two groups of patients before and after nursing. Disease cognition and nursing satisfaction of the two groups of patients after nursing were compared.Results:The scores of the CD-RISC dimensions, disease cognition, four dimensions of the SF-36, and nursing satisfaction of patients in the observation group after nursing were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The application of time-sensitive incentive nursing in postoperative patients with CS can improve their psychological resilience, disease cognition, quality of life and nursing satisfaction.
