Objective: To investigate the imaging features of cerebral small vessel disease(SVD) in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients with impaired renal function and their related risk factors. Methods: Seventy-six SLE patients and forty age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited, and SLE patients were divided into the impaired renal function group [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90 ml/(min·1.73 m²)] (n=38) and the normal renal function group [eGFR≥90 ml/(min·1.73 m²)] (n=38) according to their eGFR. All subjects underwent brain MRI, cognitive and psychiatric testing. The SVD scores were measured, total white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and SVD scores were calculated, and the risk factors of SVD scores were analyzed by using ordinal logistic regression. Results: SLE patients in the impaired renal function group showed higher basal ganglia PVS, centrum semiovale perivascular space (PVS), periventricular WMH, deep WMH and total SVD scores compared with normal controls or patients with normal renal function (H=44.568, 31.380, 31.172, 43.419, 24.317, P<0.001) . The ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that C-reactive protein was a risk factor for SVD in patients with SLE(OR=1.323, P<0.01). Conclusion SLE patients with impaired renal function had a higher SVD burden on MR imaging, particularly PVS in the basal ganglia and deep WMH, which was affected by the C-reactive protein level.

Objective To assess the reaching ability of hemiplegic stroke survivors using a motion capture unit (MCU) combined with surface electromyography (sEMG).Methods Sixteen stroke survivors with hemiplegia formed the experimental group,while healthy counterparts were selected as the control group.Both groups were asked to sit on a chair and reach for a cup on a table in front of their shoulder at arm's length using their affected arms in the experimental group and their right arms in the control group.MCUs were fixed on their spines and arms to obtain kinematic signals,and the sEMG signals of the trapezius,the anterior deltoids,biceps and triceps of the tested limb were recorded.Each subject repeated the test 3 times,and the best result was retained for further analysis.After signal processing,the range of movement of the shoulders and elbows was extracted along with the time used to reach the cup,peak angular velocity,time to peak velocity of the shoulders and elbows,work of the muscles and work ratios of the trapezius/deltoid and biceps/triceps.The upper limb section of the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) was also administered to evaluate the patients' upper limb function.Independent sample rank sum tests compared the patients with the controls in terms of kinematics and sEMG parameters.Spearman analysis was used to explore the correlation between the FMA scores and the kinematics and sEMG characteristics.Results Significant differences in the kinematic and myoelectric indicators were found between the patients and the controls.The average FMA score of the patients was correlated with the peak velocity of the shoulder joint.Moreover,the ROM of the shoulder was closely related to the work of the trapezius,while the time for the shoulder joint to reach peak velocity was closely related to the work ratio of the biceps and triceps.Conclusion An MCU integrated with synchronous sEMG can quantitatively assess the kinematics and kinetics of hemiplegic stroke survivors,at least in reaching.This can provide objective guidance to optimize clinical rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in northeast Sichuan area.Methods A total of 8 053 adult residents(over 18 years old)from the hospital who had underwent physical examination were recruited in the study.The concentrations of Fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1C)and blood lipids were measured.Diabetes and prediabetes were defined according to the 2013 American Diabetes Association criteria.Results The FPG and HbA1C concentra-tions increased with age.The overall prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were estimated to be 8.5% and 39.6% in the adult pop-ulation in northeast sichuan area respectively.The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in men were significantly higher than those in women(10.7% vs.5.7%,41.5% vs.37.2%,P <0.05,respectively).Furthermore,the prevalence of diabetes increased with age,and the prevalence of prediabetes had a trend of first enhancement followed by a decline.Conclusion The prevalence of diabe-tes and prediabetes are relatively high in northeast Sichuan area.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using a microsensor motion capture unit (MCU) to assess the reaching characteristics of hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Twenty-three hemiplegic stroke patients with an average age of (61 ± 11) years and ten normal subjects of matching age were asked to sit on a chair and use the affected arm (for the patients) or the right arm (for the normal subjects) to reach for a cup on a table just in front of the shoulder at arm's length away.Four small sensor boxes which could detect movement and its speed and smoothness in three dimensions were fixed to the subject's spine,upper arm,forearm and hand.The test was repeated four times after two trial runs.The average velocity,peak velocity,degree of joint dispersion,entropy of acceleration,joint coordination and active range of motion ( AROM ) of the shoulder were analyzed.The patients and normal subjects were statistically compared.The results were correlated with Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scores using Spearman correlation analysis. Results All of the measured variables showed significant differences between the patients and normal subjects.In the correlation study,the average velocity,peak velocity,AROM of the shoulder and joint coordination showed significant correlation with the Fugl-Meyer scores.There was,however,no significant correlation between degree of dispersion of the shoulder or elbow joints or the entropy of acceleration ( which represented the quality of movement) and Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scores. Conclusions The results suggest that microsensor MCUs can quantitatively assess the kinematics of reaching among hemiplegic stroke patients.They can provide valuable and objective data about the functional quality of multiple joint movements in three dimensions.
