Objective To explore the application value of diffusion tensor imaging and diffusion tensor tractography in the benign lesion of spinal cord.Methods 30 cases with the benign lesions of spinal cord and 10 healthy volunteers underwent MRI and DTI scanning by 1.5T MR.Results Compared with normal control group,ADC values [(1.29±0.24)×10 -3 mm2/s]of extramedullary group-Ⅰwere increased slightly,and FA values (0.46±0.06)were decreased slightly(P <0.05).In extramedullary group-Ⅱ,ADC values [(2.03±0.19)×10-3 mm2/s]were significantly increased and FA values (0.37±0.03)decreased in the lesion level (P <0.05).The ADC values [(1.71±0.24)×10 -3 mm2/s]of intramedullary group was significantly elevated,and the FA values (0.30±0.06)was obviously reduced (P <0.05 ).The fiber tracts showed the abnormality of the white matter,including compression,sparseness, grow downwards,interruption and other changes.Conclusion The changes of the FA and ADC values,diffusion tensor imaging of the bundle can quantitatively evaluate the severity of spinal cord damage and stereo display fiber bundle damage.
2.Literature visualization analysis of research trends and hotspot evolution in teneteplase
Chinese Journal of Pharmacoepidemiology 2024;33(11):1296-1306
Objective To analyze the research trends and hotspots of tenecteplase and provide a reference for clinical research and rational drug use in China.Methods A comprehensive search was conducted on tenecteplase studies in the Web of Science database from its inception to April 2024.CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software was used to analysis authors,countries/regions,research institutions,keywords,and co-cited references.Results A total of 673 articles were included in this study.The annual publication volume showed an overall upward trend,rapidly increasing in the past three years.The United States,Canada,and Australia were the top 3 countries in terms of publication volume in this field.Among the top 10 institutions in publication volume,9 were from above 3 countries.The research hotspots were the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients with acute myocardial infarction and acute ischemic stroke.In recent years,research hotspots have mainly focused on the field of acute ischemic stroke.Conclusion The application of tenecteplase in the field of acute ischemic stroke is currently a research hotspot.However,there is still a gap between the research level in China and that in developed countries such as the United States.Future research hotspots may still focus on the application of tenecteplase in patients with different types of acute ischemic stroke,suggesting that scholars should pay close attention to this area.

Objective:To construct the standardized preventive nursing training scheme for venous thromboembolism (VTE) , so as to provide a basis for hospitals to carry out the standardized preventive nursing training scheme for VTE.Methods:Under the guidance of the National Medical Quality and Safety Improvement Goal, the standardized preventive nursing training scheme for VTE was initially developed through preliminary investigation, literature review and group discussion. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 20 experts were selected from March to June 2022 for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. After modification, the VTE standardized preventive nursing training scheme was finally determined.Results:In the two rounds of correspondence, the effective response rates of the questionnaire were 90.00% and 100.00%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients of two rounds were both 0.95 and Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.20 and 0.14, respectively ( P<0.01) . After two rounds of expert consultation, a standardized preventive nursing training scheme for VTE was finally established, which included 4 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators and 78 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The VTE standardized preventive nursing training scheme constructed in this study has strong reliability and scientific nature, which can provide a basis for hospitals to carry out VTE standardized preventive nursing training scheme.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR index) in evaluating the severity of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and predicting fatty liver-associated cirrhosis. Methods A total of 192 patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and 210 patients with fatty liver-associated cirrhosis who were admitted to Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2019 to June 2020 were enrolled as group A and group B, respectively, and 206 individuals who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period of time were enrolled as control group (group C). All subjects underwent general measurement, blood cell analysis, blood biochemical test, and abdominal CT examination, and related formulas were used to calculate RPR, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data with homogeneity of variance between groups, and the SNK method was used for comparison between two groups; the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of continuous data with heterogeneity of variance between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the accuracy of the prediction of liver cirrhosis. Results There were significant differences in red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation, albumin, creatinine, body mass index, RPR, and APRI between any two groups (all P < 0.001), and there were significant differences in white blood cell count, platelet count, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, direct bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, and FIB-4 between group A and group B (all P < 0.05). There were significant differences in waist circumference and fasting blood glucose between groups A and B and between groups A and C (all P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in RPR between any two groups of the mild, moderate, and severe metabolic-associated fatty liver disease groups (all P < 0.05). In terms of diagnostic efficiency, the three noninvasive models RPR, APRI, and FIB-4 had an area under the ROC curve of 0.932, 0.815, and 0.877, respectively, in predicting fatty liver-associated cirrhosis. Conclusion There is a difference in RPR index between different stages of liver disease, and RPR index gradually increases with the aggravation of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. RPR index has a higher value than APRI and FIB-4 in the warning of fatty liver-associated cirrhosis.
