Objective To study MRI characteristics of the gray matter lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, and to investigate the occult damage in normal appearing gray matter (NAGM) by quantitative analysis using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods Conventional brain MRI and DTI were performed in 34 clinically defined MS patients and 25 non-MS healthy volunteers. Main signs of the GMlesions detected by conventional MRI were analyzed, including the distribution, numbers, shape, size,signal intensity and enhanced pattern. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values derived by DTI were measured in normal appearing deep gray matter for all participants and the differences between the two groups were compared. Results MRI examination revealed 83 lesions in cerebral gray matter, 18. 7% of the total 443 lesions. The GM lesions distributed over all brain lobes especially in frontal lobe, temporal lobe, and thalamus. Thirty-four, 60, 78, and 36 plaques were detected on T1WI, T,2WI, FLAIR, and reconstructed DWI images, respectively. Nine small lesions were identified on DWI more easily than on T2WI and FALIR. The ADC values of the head of caudatum (8. 0±0. 7) ×10-4mm2/s, t=-3.079, P<0.05), putamen (7.4±0.5)× 10-4mm2/s, t= -2.564, P<0.05),and thalamus (7.7± 0. 4) × 10-4mm<'2>/s, t = -2. 722, P < 0. 05) in MS group were significantly higher than those in healthy controls [ the ADC values of head of candatum (7.4 ± 0. 6) × 10-4 mm2/s, putamen(7.0±0.5) ×10-4 mm2/s,and thalamus(7.2±0.7)×10-4mm2/s]. Conclusions This study confirms the presence of GM damage in MS. It shows MRI characteristics of the macro-lesions, and combination of FLAIR and DWI can improve the detection of GM lesions. Occult micro-change in NAGM can be evaluated by using DTI quantitative analysis.

Objective To investegate the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on the apoptosis related protein FLICE-inhibitory protein(FLIP),Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD)and Caspase-3 in the subatania nigra(SN)of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahyd-ropyridine (MPTP)-induced mouse models of Parkinson’s disease(PD), and to investigate the role of FADD and FLIP in the pathogenesis of PD and the protective effect of ginsenosides Rg1 on dopaminergic neurons.Methods 45 C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into control group,model group and ginsenoside Rg1 group (n=15).The mice in model group were injected with MPTP by intraperitoneal,the mice in Rg1 group were injected with ginsenoside Rg1 before injecting MPTP,and the mice in control group were injected with normal saline by intraperitoneal. The behavioral changes of the mice in various groups were observed, and immunohistochemistry and Western blotting methods were used to observe the expressions of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH),FADD,FLIP and Caspase-3 in substantia nigra of the mice.Results Compared with control group,the mice in model group presented with typical symptoms of PD, the TH-positive neurons in the subatania nigra was significantly reduced (P<0.01 ), the number of FADD, FLIP and Caspase-3 positive cells was significantly increased(P<0.01),and the cytoplasm was deeply stained;the protein expression levels of FADD,FLIP and Caspase-3 were significantly increased (P<0.01).Compared with model group,the PD symptoms of the mice in ginsenoside Rg1 group reduced, the number of TH-positive neurons was significantly increased, the number of positive cells of FLIP,FADD and Caspase-3 were significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the cytoplasm was lightly stained;the protein expression levels of FADD, FLIP and Caspase-3 were significantly reduced (P<0.01 ). Nonlinear correlation analysis found that there was a positive relationship between the number of FADD and Caspase-3 positive cells (r=0.791,P<0.05).Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg1 may play a neural protective effect dopaminergic on neurons by modulating the FADD and FLIP expressions in SN of PD model mice.

Objective To explore the feasibility of 256-slice whole-brain CT perfusion (CTP) in evaluate graft reperfusion after surgical revascularization and hemodynamic alterations before and after surgery in Moyamoya disease. Methods Twenty-five cases with Moyamoya disease were scanned on a 256-slice CT.CTP was performed pre- and post- surgical revascularization. The wolumetric CT angiographic ( CTA ) images were generated from volumetric data acquired at the arterial phase of CTP. CBF, CBV, TTP and MTT were measured in functional maps at the operated side within middle cerebral artery perfusion areas and contralateral mirroring areas. Relative CBF( rCBF), relative CBV (rCBV), relative TTP (rTTP), relative MTT (rMTT) were also obtained. Differences in perfusion CT values pre- and post operation were assessed with the paired t test or matched-pairs signed-ranks test. Data with normal distribution was present as : (x-)± s,while those with the non-normal distribution were present as M ( P25-P75 ). Results All the direct graft patencies were displayed on volumetric CTA. No significant differences were found between volumetric CTA and conventional CTA. Postoperative CBF, rCBF and rCBV values of the operated side [ 72. 86 (55.54-112. 19) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 , 1. 31 ( 1.05-1.73), 1.45 ±0. 62] were significantly higher than those before operation [46.72(28.57-57.67) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1, 0.53(0.33-0.82), 1.01 ±0.36](Z=- 2.72, - 2. 98, t = - 2. 85, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Postoperative MTT, TTP and rTTP values of the operated side [ (3.98 ± 2. 36 ) s, ( 17.56 ± 4. 38 ) s, 1.01 ± 0. 09 ] were significantly lower than those before operation [(5.43±2.07) s,(19.40±3.87) s,1.14±0.28] (t=2.41,2.17,2.17, respectively, P＜0.05).However, no significant differences were detected for changes of CBV and rMTT after revascularization ( P ＞0. 05). Conclusion 256-slice CT has the potential value for the non-invasive assessment of both the graft patency and cerebral hemodynamics changes in moyamoya disease after surgery with administration of one contrast medium bolus in a single examination.

Objective To explore the effect on prognosis of attenuated plaque (AP)in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods This study was a prospective study which included 225 ACS patients who admitted to the cardiology and met the conditions between January 2009 and December 2011.Clinical data,intravascular ultrasound characteristics of plaque, blood flow in coronary angiography and cardiovascular complications within 30 days after PCI were recorded.The main form of follow-up was telephone follow-up,supplemented by patient follow-up and out-patient follow-up.Endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE).Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate.The survival difference between the two groups was compared using the Log-Rank test.Results Extravascular elastic membrane area (EEMA),plaque area (PA),plaque burden,remodeling index in AP group were significantly increased than those in non-AP group.Corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC)immediately after the balloon dilatation was significantly higher in AP group than in non-AP group. Recent overall complications were more frequently documented in AP group than in non-AP group,but long-term follow-up outcome of MACE-free survival curves showed no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions Recent prognosis,not long-term prognosis,is affected by attenuated plaque in ACS patients after PCI,which help to stratify risk further and guide treatment in ACS patients.

Background Cornea astigmatism can be effectively corrected by implanting Toric intraocular lens (IOL) during cataract surgery and therefore improve visual acuity of patients.However,the decentration and rotation position errors were inevitable sometime.What's the difference of effect of position errors on quality of image between spherical IOL and Toric IOL needs further research.Objective This study was to evaluate the optical performance and wavefront with rotation and decentration of Toric IOL.Methods Different decentration for SN60AT IOL(spherical IOL) and Toric IOL in Hwey-Lan Lion model eyes was set with the role as follows:decentration 0.25 mm to 0.75 mm in a 5°-interval from 0° to 90°.Furthermore,Toric IOL was rotated at 5° and 10°,respectively.Then the image performances of SN60AT IOL and Toric IOL at different decentration distances and rotated degrees were evaluated with modulation transfer function (MTF) and value of wavefront aberration under all conditions.Results At the centration,the MTF curves of spherical IOL and Toric IOL were similar under 3,4 and 5 mm pupil diameter at each spatial frequency.Under the condition of 4 mm pupil diameter,when the decentration was 0.25 mm,the MTF values of SN60AT IOL at 6 c/d and 12 c/d were 0.581 087 and 0.411 960,respectively.T3 IOL were 0.454 259 and 0.382 313,T4 IOL were 0.426 020 and 0.360 490,T5 IOL were 0.425 606 and 0.359 877.When the decentration was 0.50 mm,the MTF values of SN60AT at 6 c/d and 12 c/d were 0.573 073 and 0.412 787,respectively.T3 IOL were 0.450943 and 0.379481,T4 IOL were 0.423 153 and 0.356 664,T5 IOL were 0.422 881 and 0.356 230.When the decentration was 0.75 mm,the MTF values of SN60AT at 6 c/d and 12 c/d were 0.560 038 and 0.413 624,respectively.T3 IOL were 0.445 597 and 0.374 322,T4 IOL were 0.418 522 and 0.350 087,T5 IOL were 0.418 468 and 0.349 976.When the IOL decentralized along 0°,5°,10°,90°meridian line,the MTF values were almostly same.The root mean square (RMS) of spherical IOL and Toric IOL was increased when the IOL decentralized from 0 mm to 0.75 mm,with the most increasing level in coma aberration and slight increase in trefoil aberration.When the T4 IOL decentralized from centre to 0.75 mm,the coma increased from 0 to C(3,-1)-0.049 79 μm,C (3,1)-0.037 59 μm and the trefoil aberration increased from 0 to C (3,3) 0.005 72 μm,C (3,-3) 0.004 64 μm.With the increase of rotation degrees (from 5°to 10°) of Toric IOL,the MTF was worse at high spatial frequency.Toric IOL rotation caused the increase of astigmatism and residual astigmatism and spherical error,but not high order aberration.Conclusions The tolerance of Toric IOL to decentration is very close to the spherical IOL,and optical performance is only associated with the amount of decentration but not direction.The aberration caused by Toric IOL decentration is mainly coma.The rotation of Toric IOL causes astigmatism error but not high order aberrations.

Objective:To compare clinical features of patients with pyogenic liver abscesses with and without septated lobulations.Methods:Patients diagnosed to have pyogenic liver abscesses who were treated in our hospital from January 2011 to March 2021 were enrolled into this retrospective study. There were 203 males and 132 females, with age of (56±14) years old. The patients were divided into two groups by findings on computed tomography and ultrasound into the septated lobulation group ( n=68) and the non-septated lobulation group ( n=267). The clinical data of these patients were compared. Results:In the septated lobulation group, the neutrophil count was 9.17(5.97, 12.33)×10 9/L and the TBil was 17.65(11.92, 27.84) μmol/L. These were significantly higher than the corresponding figures of 7.81(5.42, 10.81)×10 9/L, 12.90(9.00, 19.68) μmol/L, respectively in the non-septated lobulation group ( P<0.05). The difference in the maximum diameters of the septated lobulation group was also significantly larger than the non-septated lobulation group ( P=0.032). Additionally, pus culture showed the proportion of Klebsiella pneumoniae positive patients in the septated lobulation group was significantly higher than that in the non-septated lobulation group [41.18% (28/68) vs. 25.84% (69/267), P=0.013]. The use of fluoroquinolones in patients in the septated lobulation group was higher than that in the non-septated lobulation group [20.59% (14/68) vs. 10.11% (27/267), χ 2=5.54, P=0.019]. Conclusion:Compared to patients without septated lobulations, those with septated lobulations had a larger diameter of abscesses, a higher positive rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae on pus culture and a higher proportion of patients receiving fluoroquinolones.

Objective To analyze the occupational hazards and protective measures for personnel in an iodine-125(¹²⁵I) seed source production company. Methods In 2022, a ¹²⁵I seed source production enterprise in Guangdong Province was selected as the research subject. The occupational hazards in the workplace of the research subject was identified using the system engineering analysis method. The FLUAK program based on Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the blocking protection of the production of the ¹²⁵I seed source, and to estimate the dose of internal and external irradiation of seed source that affected workers. Results The main occupational radiation hazards in the seed production were non-sealed radioactive materials, including external irradiation from X-ray and γ ray and internal irradiation from aerosols formed by iodine volatilization. Estimated maximum dose equivalent rate around the chest and eye lens for workers were 0.52 and 0.02 μSv/h, respectively. The expected annual effective dose for workers in each work site was 0.035 mSv, and the expected annual equivalent dose to the eye lens for all workers in various work sites was 0.001 mSv. The maximum annual equivalent dose of operator's hand was 80.620 mSv. The maximum dose of internal irradiation to the worker was 18.750 mSv, which was caused by the volatilization of nuclides. Conclusion With effective protection measures for internal and external irradiation in place, the annual exposure doses for seed production personnel and operator’s hand are below the national limits. Adequate measures should be taken on hand protection.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of re-irradiation with stereotactic body radiotherapy(SBRT) for treating locally recurrent advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods From 2014 to 2017,7 patients with stage Ⅲ pancreatic cancer were treated by re-irradiated with SBRT at Shanghai Changhai Hospital.SBRT was delivered via the G4 type cyberknife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system in all the patients.The median dose of the first SBRT was 35Gy/5-7 fx,and the median dose of re-irradiation with SBRT was 31 Gy/5-8 fx.6 patients had undergone sequential chemotherapy either with gemcitabine or S-1 based therapy except one patient who refused the chemotherapy.Results There were 5 male and 2 female patients.The median overall survival (OS) of 7 patients was 30 months.Patients were re-irradiated with SBRT after a median interval of 10 months after the first SBRT.Median OS and locally relapse-free survival (LFRS) from re-irradiation were 13 months and 11 months,respectively.Three months after re-irradiation,3(42.9％) patients had partial remission and 4 patients had stable disease.Pain disappeared in 4 patients at the end of reirradiation and significant pain was alleviated in 2 patients 1 month after re-irradiation.There were no toxicities of grade 3 or higher grade during two courses of SBRT.Conclusions For patient with locally recurrent advanced pancreatic cancer,SBRT re irradiation regimen was associated with acceptable toxicity,which can effectively alleviate the pain,prolong the survival and improve the life quality.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of occupational exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) on the workers' health.

METHODSA total of 76 workers exposed to TDI (exposure group) and 64 management staff members (control group) were selected from a factory as the study subjects. Area sampling was performed for the place with exposure to TDI according to the method in GBZ 159-2004 Specifications of air sampling for hazardous substances monitoring in the workplace, and gas chromatography was applied to measure the concentration of TDI in workplace air. The workers' personal information was collected with questionnaire, pulmonary ventilation function was determined with a portable spirometer, hematological parameters were analyzed by automatic blood analyzer and blood chemistry analyzer, and the indicators of oxidative damage and energy metabolism were measured by the reagent kit provided by Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute. SPSS 17 software was applied for statistical analysis.

RESULTSThe exposure group had significantly lower forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1.0), and FEV1.0/FVC ratio than the control group (P <0.05). Compared with the control group, the exposure group had significantly higher red blood cell count, platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume, lymphocyte count, and neutrophil count(P<0.01), and significantly lower activities of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), superoxide dismutase, and succinodehydrogenase (SDH)(P <0.01). In the exposure group, the length of exposure was negatively correlated with the activities of SDH and LDH in the serum (r=-0.319, P <0.05; r=-0.239, P <0.05), and the length of exposure was not found to be correlated with the activity of SOD and pulmonary function indices.

CONCLUSIONTDI can induce inflammatory response and lung ventilation function impairment in workers exposed to TDI, as well as oxidative stress and imbalance of energy metabolism. Therefore, it can cause damage to workers' health, and protective measures should be enhanced.
