Parkinson's disease(PD),the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease,has shown an increasing incidence in recent years,significantly impacting the quality of life of elderly individuals and their families.The onset of cognitive impairment and Parkinson's disease dementia(PDD)are critical milestones in the progression of PD.Imaging examinations,serving as essential detection and evaluation tools for neurodegenerative diseases,have been increasingly applied to PD-related research.Different imaging techniques demonstrate distinct advantages and features in screening cognitive dysfunction in PD.Choosing a reliable imaging method not only maximizes the advantages of the examination,enhancing the sensitivity and specificity in identifying PD patients at risk of cognitive impairment,but also reduces the frequency of examinations and the radiation dose received by patients.This review summarizes the existing findings on imaging markers of cognitive impairment in PD from three aspects,structural imaging,functional imaging,and multimodal techniques.Furthermore,it explores future research directions,aiming to provide powerful imaging support for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is a common and lethal manifestation of advanced gastric cancer, with a median survival of only 5-11 months. This consensus was developed by 30 experts from Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore) using the Delphi method and the GRADE evidence grading system. A total of 29 statements were formulated, covering the diagnosis and assessment of GCPM, indications for laparoscopic exploration and NIPS (normothermic intraperitoneal and systemic treatment), treatment regimens, prevention and management of complications, criteria for conversion surgery, and postoperative intraperitoneal therapy. The consensus aims to standardize clinical practice and improve the prognosis of patients with GCPM.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To investigate the changes in sympathetic nerve activity after lower limb immobilization and the role of sympathetic nerve in regulating disuse atrophy of skeletal muscles.Methods:The experiment was divided into the following 3 parts: ① Twelve 8-week-old male C57 mice were randomly divided into a blank control group and a hind limb fixation group ( n=6). The blank control group received no intervention while the hind limb fixation group received splint fixation of the hind limbs for 2 weeks before the musculoskeletal multi-dimensional characterization was completed at the behavioral, pathological and molecular levels. ② Thirty-six 8-week-old male C57 mice were selected and randomly divided into a control group and 5 hind limb fixation groups (for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days) ( n=6). The control group was fed normally until 14 days without any intervention while the 5 hind limb fixation groups were sampled after fixation for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days, respectively. The level of norepinephrine in the serum and the expression level of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a marker of sympathetic nerve activity in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), were detected to observe the plasticity of sympathetic nerve activity. ③ Eighteen 8-week-old male C57 mice were selected and randomly divided into a blank control group, a hind limb fixation group and a hind limb fixation plus medication group ( n=6). The blank control group received no intervention while the 2 fixation groups were injected with phosphate buffer (PBS) and propranolol hydrochloride solution for 2 consecutive weeks, respectively. The parameters related to the skeletal muscles were compared between the 3 groups. Results:① Compared with the control group, the mass and function of skeletal muscles in the hind limb fixation group were statistically significantly decreased ( P<0.05). ② The levels of serum norepinephrine [(3.27±1.03) ng/mL, (9.21±1.05) ng/mL, (6.36±0.88) ng/mL, (3.84±1.00) ng/mL, and (3.91±0.75) ng/mL] and the PVN TH levels (42.00%±5.38%, 61.67%±5.57%, 55.82%±3.11%, 50.90%±2.53%, and 39.17%±9.07%) in the 5 hind limb fixation groups (for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days) were significantly higher than those in the control group [(1.81±0.72)] ng/mL and 23.33%±5.50%] ( P<0.05). ③ The wet weight of the gastrocnemius muscle [(93.50±4.32) mg] and the cross-section area of the tibial anterior muscle [(1,180.00±95.09) μm 2] in the hind limb fixation plus medication group were increased significantly compared with those in the hind limb fixation group [(80.83±9.99) mg and (907.80±121.00) μm 2] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system occurs in the mice model of skeletal muscle disuse atrophy after hind limb fixation. Inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity may reduce the severity of skeletal muscle atrophy at the lower limbs.

Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients often experience massive bleeding and require blood transfusion. However, the storage duration of the transfused blood may affect the prognosis of these patients. This study explored the influence of exosomes derived from fresh and aged blood on the prognosis of rats with TBI, so as to provide theoretical support for the blood transfusion management of TBI patients. Methods: Exosomes were isolated from red blood cell (RBC) suspensions stored for 1 week and 5 weeks using ultracentrifugation method. The size, morphology and surface markers of the exosomes were identified by nanoparticle flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting, respectively. A rat model of TBI was constructed using a mechanical impactor for brain injury. After the successful establishment of the model, exosomes from RBC suspensions stored for 1 week and 5 weeks were injected into the extracellular space of rat brain cells using a stereotactic syringe. Cerebral edema at day 1, 3, 7 and 14 were recorded through cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Magnetic tracing technology (the tracer was Gd-DTPA solution) was used to evaluate the drug metabolism level in the extracellular space of brain cells of TBI rats. The cranial magnetic resonance imaging was scanned every 15 or 30 minutes, and the recording lasted for a total of 240 minutes. The magnetic images were imported into the 3D-Slicer software in Dicom data format for analysis. Mass spectrometry technology was used to analyze the differential proteins of exosomes from RBC suspensions stored for 1 week and 5 weeks, and functional prediction was carried out to explore the possible mechanisms by which exosomes affect the prognosis of TBI. Results: After injection of exosomes into TBI rats, the areas of cerebral edema on the day 1, 3, 7, and 14 were all significantly higher in the rats treated with exosomes from 5-week-stored RBC suspensions, with peak cerebral edema occurring at day 3. The diffusion volume of the tracer was significantly higher in TBI rats than in normal rats, which implied there was a disorder in the structure of the traumatic brain tissue in TBI rats. Compared with the rats injected with exosomes from 1-week-stored RBC suspensions, those treated with exosomes from 5-week-stored RBC suspensions showed increased tracer diffusion volume within 120 minutes. Mass spectrometry analysis identified 81 differentially expressed proteins between exosomes from RBC suspensions stored for 5 weeks vs 1 week. Among them, 93.83% (76/81) proteins had increased expression levels. The neurodegeneration-related pathways were among the most enriched pathways for upregulated proteins. Conclusion: The exosomes from aged RBC suspensions can lead to exacerbated cerebral edema, disrupted extracellular space, and suppressed metabolic rate in TBI rats, suggesting that transfusion of aged RBC suspensions may have adverse effects on TBI patients.

Objective To investigate the microstructural changes of white matter in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis(RRMS)and its correlation with clinical functional scores.Methods A total of 20 patients with RRMS(RRMS group)and 20 healthy controls(HC)(HC group)were selected and underwent diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and expanded disability status scale(EDSS)scores.Patients with RRMS were categorized into two groups based on their EDSS scores,including MS-1 group(motor dysfunction with visual impairment)and MS-2 group(motor dysfunction).Image processing was performed via tract-based spatial statistics(TBSS).Group comparisons were executed using the t-test,while correlations were analyzed utilizing Spearman correlation.Results In the RRMS group,reduced fractional anisotropy(FA)values were accompanied by increased mean diffusivity(MD)and radial diffusivity(RD)values in the forceps major,forceps minor,bilateral cingulum,bilateral uncinate fasciculus,bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus,bilateral inferior longitudinal fasciculus,bilateral inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus,bilateral corticospinal tract and bilateral anterior thalamic radiation compared with the HC group.Additionally,In the RRMS group,increased axial diffusivity(AD)values were noted in the forceps major,forceps minor,bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus(temporal),right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus,bilateral corticospinal tract and right anterior thalamic radiation compared with the HC group.Compared with the MS-2 group,the MS-1 group exhibited higher FA values in the right cingulum(cingulate gyrus part)and higher AD values in the left cingulum(cingulate gyrus part).Correlation analysis revealed negative correlations between the FA values of the forceps major,right superior longitudinal fasciculus and the motor function scores in RRMS group.Conversely,positive correlations were identified between the MD values of the forceps minor,right superior longitudinal fasciculus,right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus,left corticospinal tract and the RD values of the forceps minor,right cingulum(hip-pocampus),right superior longitudinal fasciculus,and left corticospinal tract,as well as the motor function scores.Conclusion RRMS patients exhibit microstructural damage in white matter and are associated with motor dysfunction,which provides imaging support for the pathological mechanisms underlying motor dysfunction in RRMS patients.

Objective To investigate the DSA imaging characteristics and efficacy of interventional treatment for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage(PPH),and to analyze the factors influencing recurrent bleeding following successful interventional hemostasis.Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent interventional treatment for PPH between January 2013 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent DSA examination,and interventional therapy was the primary treatment option for patients with positive findings.Statistical analysis was performed on DSA angiography manifestations,bleeding sites,success rate of interventional treatment and hemostasis effectiveness.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for rebleeding after interventional treatment for PPH.Results A total of 139 patients with PPH were included in this study.All 139 patients underwent DSA examination,with a positive rate of 82.01％(114/139)in the first examination.Major angiographic manifestations included contrast agent extravasation,pseudoaneurysm,and disrupted vascular architecture;bleeding sites included gastroduodenal artery in 45 cases(39.47％),hepatic artery in 22 cases(19.30％),and superior mesenteric artery in 32 cases(28.07％).107 patients underwent interventional treatment(81 embolization and 26 stenting),with a success rate of 91.59％(98/107).The independent risk factors for recurrent bleeding after interventional treatment in patients with PPH included preoperative bleeding(P＜0.001)and pancreatic fistula(P=0.041).Conclusion Interventional procedures for PPH can be efficient in diagnosis and treatment,with a high success rate and effective hemostasis.However,it should be noted that some patients remain at risk of recurrent bleeding after successful interventional hemostasis.
