Objective To evaluate the predictive value of T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)signal suppression rate for the short arm of chromosome 1 and long arm of chromosome 19 (1p/19q)molecular features in lower-grade gliomas (LGG),and to construct and verify the predictive model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)tumor features and T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate.Methods Clincal and imaging data of the patients with pathologically confirmed supratentorial LGG (WHO grade 2~3)in our medical center from 2017 to 2021 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of postoperative molecular pathology,they were divided into 1 p/19q-codeleted (1 p/19q-Codel)and 1 p/19q-noncodeleted (1 p/19q-Noncodel)groups.MRI tumor features were blindly assessed by 2 neuroradiologists.Five circular regions of interest were respectively delineated in the tumor area and the normal-appearing white matter in contralateral semioval center using the hot-spot method in order to calculate the T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate.The differences of clinical features,MRI tumor features and T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate were analyzed between the 2 groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen independent predictors and constructa predictive model and nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve,calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were applied to assess the model performance,and the model was internally validated by bootstrap method.Results A total of 146 supratentorial LGG patients were enrolled,including 68 being assigned into the 1 p/19q-Codel group and 78 into the 1 p/19q-Noncodel group.The T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate was 0.43 (0.28,0.62)in the 1 p/19q-Noncodel group,which was significantly higher than that in the 1 p/19q-Codel group[0.29 (0.24,0.35),P<0.001].Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 (P<0.001),cortex infiltration (P=0.001) and calcification (P=0.004) were independent predictors for 1 p/19q status.The AUC value of T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 in predicting 1 p/19q-Noncodel was 0.720,the sensitivity was 60.26% and the specificity was 83.82%.DeLong test indicated that T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 was more effective than T2-FLAIR mismatch sign in predicting 1 p/19q molecular features (P<0.001).ROC curve analysis suggested that the predictive model established by T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 combined with cortex infiltration and calcification had good performance,with an AUC value of 0.808,and the AUC value verified internally by bootstrap method was 0.807.At the same time,the calibration and goodness of fit of the model were good.Conclusion T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate can be used as a quantitative imaging marker to predict 1 p/19q-Noncodel LGG.The predictive model with T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 combined with cortex infiltration and calcification can effectively predict 1 p/19q molecular features.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Shenqi Jieyu Formula(SQJYF)on depression and anxiety-like behavior in adult offspring rats after maternal separation(MS).This was done by observing the levels of metabolites in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of the Papez circuit through magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS).Methods Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats at 16 days of pregnancy were divided into the normal,model,SQJYF,and fluoxetine groups using the random number table method,with six rats per group.MS was performed 4 h a day from the first to the 21st day afterbirth.Starting from the 15th day,the corresponding medications(SQJYF group:12.5 g/kg,fluxetine group:2.33 mg/kg)were administered to mother rats once a day for 7 consecutive days.Normal breastfeeding was performed during the gavage.The offspring rats were weaned on the 22nd day.According to the experimental grouping of mother rats,one male and one female offspring rat of each mother rat were randomly selected using the random number table method,with six rats per group.They were divided into normal,model,SQJYF,and fluoxetine female and male rat groups,respectively.After 8 weeks of feeding,the offspring rats in each group were subjected to forced swimming test(FST),the sucrose water consumption test,and open field tests(OFT),and the elevated plus maze(EPM)test was conducted.The relative values of N-acetyl-aspartate(NAA),choline(Cho),glutamic acid(Glu),myo-inositol(mI),and creatine(Cr)in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were detected using MRS.Results Compared with that of the normal female and male rat groups,the weight of the rats in the model group was decreased as well as sucrose water consumption and the horizontal and vertical scores of OFT,whereas the immobility time of FST increased.Compared with the normal female and male rat group,the NAA/Cr and Glu/Cr values in the bilateral hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of the female and male rats in the model group decreased(all P<0.01).The proportion of rats entering the open arm and open arm residence time of the model female rat group in the EPM test decreased,whereas the Cho/Cr value of the right hippocampus of the female rats in the model group increased(P<0.05).Compared with the model female and male rat group,the weight of the rats in the SQJYF and fluoxetine groups increased,the immobility time of FST decreased,but the sucrose water consumption and the horizontal and vertical OFT scores increased(P<0.01).The proportion of rats entering the open arm and open arm residence time in the EPM increased in the SQJYF and fluoxetine female rat groups compared to those of the model female rat group(P<0.01).Compared with the model female rat group,the NAA/Cr and Glu/Cr values in the bilateral hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of female rats in the SQJYF and fluoxetine groups increased.The NAA/Cr and Glu/Cr values in the right hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of male rats in the SQJYF and fluoxetine groups were higher than those in the model group(P<0.05),whereas the Cho/Cr value in the right hippocampus of female and male rats in the SQJYF and fluoxetine groups decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion MS in early life can lead to depression and anxiety-like behavior in adult offspring.However,SQJYF may exert antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects by regulating the metabolite levels in related brain regions of the Papez circuit.
