Objective To investigate the application of respiratory navigator echo triggered black blood contrast FSE in cardiac MRI. Methods The respiratory navigator echo trigger technique combining with black blood FSE (NAV-FSE) was tested on 11 volunteers and 5 patients in free breathing,using breath-hold FSE (BH-FSE) with the same imaging protocals as control. The imaging efficiency and the image sharpness were compared between NAV-FSE and BH-FSE and t-test was used for the statistics. Results All NAV-FSE acquisitions were completed in sixteen subjects while 4 BH-FSE acquisitions failed because of poor breath holding. The efficiencies of NAV-FSE were (42. 95±11.50)%, (56. 14±11.40)% and (55.25± 14. 70)% when echo train length (ETL) were 24, 16 and 8, respectively. When ETL were 16 and 24, the sharpness of NAV-FSE ( 0. 43±0. 02 vs 0. 36±0. 02 ) and BH-FSE ( 0. 36±0. 03 vs 0. 35±0. 02 ) were statistically different (t =4. 26, 5. 53 ,respectively; P <0. 05). NAV-FSE could have a shorter ETL setting without consideration of breath holding. Conclusion The navigator echo trigger technique could be compatible with black blood contrast FSE to image the heart without the restriction of breath holding and it allows to optimize the parameters to improve the image quality.

Objective To explore the pattern of functional reorganization in the cortex after corticospinal tract ( CST) injury and its relationship with the recovery of upper limb motor function. Methods Fifteen patients with complete paralysis on one side after acute cerebral infarction were studied. Within 1 week after the onset, func-tional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI ) and diffusion tensor tractography ( DTT) were performed in parallel with timed finger flexion and extension movements in all subjects. The number of nerve fibers in corticospinal tract ( CST) in the affected and healthy sides was measured by using Dtv.Ⅱ. R2 software. One and three months later, fMRI was performed while the affected fingers were flexed and extended passively and any cortical activation was observed. In addition, Fugl-Meyer arm motor function scores were assessed one week, one month and three months after the stroke. Results According to the reconstructed nerve fiber number in CST on the affected side, the patients were classified into three types. Type I:the number of newly-built CST nerve fibers is more than 2/3 of that on the healthy side;type II:the ratio is between 1/3 and 2/3;and type III:the ratio is less than 1/3. For typeⅠpatients, blood oxygenation level-dependent fMRI ( bold-fMRI) showed initial activation of the bilateral sensorimotor cortex ( SMC) and the sup-plementary motor area ( SMA) on the affected side. That was followed by a gradual decrease in the activity in the healthy SMC and an increase in the affected SMC at 1 and 3 months. Among the type II patients bold-fMRI indicated activation of the SMC and SMA on the affected side initially, significant activation of the bilateral SMC and SMA one month later and then stronger activation in the SMC on the healthy side and a weakening of activation in the SMC on the affected side. For typeⅢpatients, initially the SMA and the posterior parietal cortex were found to be slightly ac-tivated. One month later SM1 on the unaffected side was slightly activated, and 3 months later neither the SMC nor the SMA on either side was activated. One week after the onset, the average upper extremity FM scores of the three types of subjects were not significantly different. After one month the three groups′averages were all significantly dif-ferent from one another. But after three months the averages for types I and II were again not significantly different, but significantly better than the average of the type III patients. Conclusion Different CST injuries induce different modes of cortical reorganization. The reorganization is a dynamic process, and different activation patterns are closely correlated with clinical prognosis.

Cerebrolysin is an aqueous mixture of amino acids extracted from porcine brain, and mainly composed of 85% free amino acids and 15%small peptides. Cerebrolysin increase the metabolism of amino acids and glucose transport in the brain, improve the anti-anoxia ability of cells, and to enhance the brain's resistance to various types of malignant stimulation like stress and damage. Cerebrolysin can also promote synapse formation, induce neuronal differentiation, and help reverse brain injury. Because of its efficacy and safety, cerebrolysin has been widely used in the pediatric clinical practice, and primarily to treat neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, childcerebral palsy, hyperactivity disorder, speech communication disorders, etc.The clinical symptoms were improved to some extent after the treatment of cerebrolysin. The recovery of consciousness, enhancement of comprehensionand memory, and improvement of the extremity motor function were observed. The treatment of cerebrolysincan not only enhance the cure rate, but also reduce the incidence of sequelae. This paper systematically summarized the clinical application of cerebrolysin in the pediatric population and relevant preclinical studies, to provide more guidance for clinical application of cerebrolysin in the treatment of pediatric diseases.

Objective To investigate the correlation between AS160 hyperphosphorylation and 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptaking in invasive breast cancer.Methods Thirty-nine primary breast caner patients received PET/CT scan before operation and their maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax) were recorded.The levels of p-AS160 (Thr642) were detected using immunohistochemical method in breast cancer tissues.The association between p-AS160 (Thr642) levels and SUVmax was assessed using the Spearman nonparametric test.Results The 18F-FDG uptake of tumors of the 39 patients with primary breast caner was 6.1 ± 2.7 (SUVmax).There was one false negative case in PET/CT scan imaging,compared with postoperative pathologic result.The positive rate of p-AS160 (Thr642) was 76.9％,and it was positively correlated with SUVmax (r =0.672,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion AS160 plays a significant role in the glucose metablism of breast cancer tissues and its hyperphosphorylation may contribute to the increased uptaking of glucose in patients with breast cancer.
