OBJECTIVETo minimize of the radiation dose of cardiovascular CT angiography (CTA) imaging while preserving the image quality.
METHODSTo reduce the radiation dose in CTA imaging, the normal-dose scan induced non-local means (ndiNLM) algorithm was adapted for low-mAs scanned CTA image restoration by using the previous scanned high-quality image.
RESULTSQualitative and quantitative evaluations were carried out on both simulated phantom and clinical CTA scans in terms of accuracy and resolution properties. Compared to the original NLM algorithm, the ndiNLM method could achieve noticeable gains in terms of noise-induced artifacts suppression and enhanced structure preservation.
CONCLUSIONThe ndiNLM algorithm is a potential useful technique to reduce the radiation dose in CTA imaging.

OBJECTIVETo develop a computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CT-MP) deconvolution algorithm by incorporating high-dimension total variation (HDTV) regularization.
METHODSA perfusion deconvolution model was formulated for the low-dose CT-MPI data, followed by HDTV regularization to regularize the consistency of the solution by fusing the spatial correlation of the vascular structure and the temporal continuation of the blood flow signal.
RESULTSBoth qualitative and quantitative studies were conducted using XCAT and pig myocardial perfusion data to evaluate the present algorithm. The experimental results showed that this algorithm achieved hemodynamic parameter maps with better performances than the existing methods in terms of streak-artifacts suppression, noise-resolution tradeoff, and diagnosis structure preservation.
CONCLUSIONThe proposed algorithm can achieve high-quality hemodynamic parameter maps in low-dose CT-MPI.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of enzyme therapy in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) patients, so as to provide reference for the treatment and prognosis of LOPD.Methods:The effect of α-glucosidase (GAA) on a patient diagnosed with LOPD in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University was observed and analyzed. Besides, literature related to enzyme therapy in LOPD patients were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Medline databases. Twenty-one studies containing clinical data from 910 LOPD patients related to enzyme therapy were finally included for analysis.Results:The patient developed muscle weakness since he was 16 years old. The GAA activity in peripheral blood was 0. Electromyography suggested myogenic lesions in both lower extremities. Compound heterozygous mutations of GAA gene were found by next- generation sequencing. Muscle biopsy revealed characteristic vacuolar changes. After eight years of diagnosis, the patient was given enzyme therapy for 18.5 months, 20 times in total. The symptoms of muscle weakness were slightly improved in the early stages of treatment without obvious adverse reactions. Most of the 910 LOPD patients were stabilized or had improved muscular and (or) respiratory function following treatment with GAA.Conclusion:GAA treatment is effective and well tolerated. In patients with advanced severe LOPD, enzyme replacement therapy remains effective even years after onset.

Objective:To investigate the association between gestational blood pressure and neurodevelopment in 2-year-old children.Methods:Based on the"Wuhan Healthy Baby Birth Cohort", 3 754 mother-infant pairs were enrolled in this study. Based on multiple blood pressure measurements during pregnancy, the mean, cumulative, and variability of blood pressure throughout the entire pregnancy and each trimester were calculated. Blood pressure variability was evaluated using standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variability (CV), and variability independent of mean (VIM). Follow-up testing of neurodevelopment in infants and young children at the age of two was conducted to obtain the Mental Development Index (MDI) and the Psychomotor Development Index (PDI). The multivariate linear regression and generalized estimation equation were used to analyze the association between gestational blood pressure data and neurodevelopmental index.Results:The age of 3 754 pregnant women was (29.1±3.6) years, with a pre-pregnancy BMI of (20.9±2.7) kg/m2 and a gestational age of (39.3±1.2) weeks. The birth weight of 3 754 children was (3 330.9±397.7) grams, and the birth length was (50.3±1.6) centimeters. The results of the multivariate linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting for relevant confounding factors, the mean blood pressure, cumulative blood pressure, standard deviation of blood pressure, coefficient of variation of blood pressure, independent blood pressure variability of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure throughout pregnancy were negatively associated with the MDI and PDI scores of 2-year-old children. The analysis results of the generalized estimation equation showed that after adjusting for relevant confounding factors, the average systolic blood pressure in the first, second, and third trimesters was negatively associated with MDI/PDI. The negative association between cumulative blood pressure and MDI/PDI was only found in the first trimester. The negative association between blood pressure variation during pregnancy and MDI/PDI was mainly concentrated in the second and third trimesters.Conclusion:There is a negative association between gestational blood pressure and the neurodevelopmental index of 2-year-old children.
