Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value and imaging features of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging(HR-MRI)in patients with lesions in carotid artery and intracranial artery.Methods:Sixty-nine patients with suspected lesions in carotid artery and intracranial artery who admitted to Handan Central Hospital from June 2021 to December 2023 were selected,and they underwent routine MRI and HR-MRI examinations.Digital subtraction angiography(DSA)examination was used as the"gold standard"to analyze the detection rates of different MRI examinations for lesions in carotid artery and intracranial artery.The diagnostic efficacy of them was calculated,and the HR-MRI imaging features of positive cases and negative patients were compared under the"gold standard".Results:For 69 patients with suspected lesions in carotid artery and intracranial artery,41 cases(59.42%)were confirmed by"gold standard"examination,and 31 positive cases were confirmed by routine MRI examination,and 35 positive cases were confirmed by HR-MRI examination,and 39 positive cases were confirmed by combined examination of routine MRI and HR-MRI.The results indicated that the accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values of the combined examination of routine MRI and HR-MRI were respectively 88.41%,87.80%,89.29%,92.31%and 83.33%,all of which were higher than those of single image examination,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=5.459,7.329,6.216,6.395,6.141,P<0.05).The irregular shape,blurred boundary,high signal,plaque formation,intra-plaque bleeding,displacement of common carotid artery or vein,and calcification of lesion in HR-MRI imaging features of positive patients were significantly higher than those of negative patients,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=8.918,4.418,7.001,4.746,8.743,5.951,4.947,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The detection rates both of routine MRI and HR-MRI are higher in patients with lesions in carotid artery and intracranial artery.However,the combined examination of them can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity,and the morphology,boundary,signal and calcification foci of confirmed patients are more obvious in HR-MRI examination,which can provide reference for subsequent diagnosis and treatment.

Objective The aim of this study is to examine the Chinese version of Visual Prostate Symptom Score(CVPSS)and the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)in the assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms in BPH pa-tients.Methods By using convenient sampling,inpatients in the urology department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Shanghai were selected as the survey subjects from March 2023 to March 2024.The lower urinary tract symptoms of the patients were eval-uated using the self-designed general information questionnaire.And the CVPSS and IPSS with their urine flow rate were meas-ured.A comparative analysis was conducted from aspects such as internal consistency,correlation of item scores,completion time of the scale,and assistance rate.Results A total of 246 patients with BPH were recruited.The total score and life quality score were 13.93±3.55 and 4.23±1.02 by CVPSS.And the total score and life quality by IPSS was 18.33±7.55 and 4.36±1.02,respectively.The Cronbach's α coefficient were 0.761 and 0.787,respectively.The time taken on CVPSS was less than that on IPSS(P＜0.01).And the rate of needing assistance was 23.58％for CVPSS,which was significantly lower than that(65.24％)for IPSS.Conclusion CVPSS is significantly correlated with the corresponding items and total scores of IPSS,as well as the quality of life.Moreover,it takes less time and can be used as a simple and effective self-assessment tool for lower urinary tract symptoms in elderly BPH patients with lower education levels.It reduces the burden of medical staffs as well.

Objective:To explore the application value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) perfusion imaging and magnetic resonance high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) in the evaluation of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke (IS).Methods:A total of 131 patients with atherosclerotic IS (study group) and 62 patients with non-atherosclerotic IS (control group) diagnosed and treated in Handan Central Hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. MSCT perfusion imaging and HR-VWI were completed before treatment. MSCT perfusion imaging indexes and HR-VWI indexes were compared between the two groups, and HR-VWI indexes and MSCT perfusion imaging indexes were compared among the study groups with different disease degrees. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of HR-VWI indexes and MSCT perfusion imaging indexes in atherosclerotic IS.Results:The stenosis degree, out wall area at maximal lumen narrowing (OWA MLN), plaque loading rate and remodeling index in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (69.22 ± 12.57)% vs. (60.81 ± 10.38)%, (7.62 ± 1.03) mm 2 vs. (6.53 ± 1.18) mm 2, (42.51 ± 8.22)% vs. (36.53 ± 7.29)%, 1.32 ± 0.41 vs. 1.01 ± 0.29; while the lumen area at maximal lumen narrowing (LA MLN) in the study group was lower than that in the control group: (0.84 ± 0.28) mm 2 vs.(1.17 ± 0.41) mm 2, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) in the study group were lower than those in the control group: 20.25 ± 2.83) ml/100 min vs. (23.66 ± 2.52) ml/100 min, (1.82 ± 0.53) ml/100g vs. (2.31 ± 0.63) ml/100 g; and the peak time (TTP) and mean transit time (MTT) in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (23.55 ± 4.86) s vs.(19.73 ± 3.73) s, (7.13 ± 1.22) s vs. (6.17 ± 1.06) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). In the study group, with the aggravation of disease severity, the stenosis degree, OWA MLN, plaque load rate and remodeling index were gradually increased, while LA MLN was gradually decreased, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve value of HR-VWI index combined evaluation and MSCT perfusion imaging index combined evaluation in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic IS was 0.921 and 0.828, respectively. Conclusions:HR-VWI and MSCT perfusion imaging can be used in the assessment of patient's condition of atherosclerotic IS. HR-VWI may be better in evaluating the condition of atherosclerotic IS.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic ovarian cyst excision with protection of ovarian function.Methods From July 2018 to December 2019,we performed 56 cases of single-port laparoscopic ovarian cyst debulking,in which the umbilicus was incised transversely for about 2 cm and a single-port trocar puncture was placed to form an artificial pneumoperitoneum.The ultrasonic knife was used to avoid the ovarian hilum and cut the ovarian cortex on the opposite side of the ovary to ensure a good blood supply.The ovary on the affected side was fixed to facilitate blunt separation of the cyst and preserve the normal tissues of the ovary as much as possible.The 2-0 absorbable suture was applied for hemostasis and ovarian reconstruction.Results The operations were successfully completed in all the 56 cases,including bilateral ovarian cyst excision in 3 cases,salpingectomy in 3 cases,tubal mesangial cyst excision in 1 case,hysteromyomectomy in 2 cases,appendectomy in 1 case(an additional puncture hole was added due to the need for abdominal drainage after the operation),hysteroscopic resection of endometrial polyps in 1 case,and pelvic adhesion release in 1 case.The operation time was(72.0±30.0)min,and the postoperative hospitalization time was(5.0±0.6)d.No complication occurred.The 56 patients were followed up for 2-3 years,with an average of 1.5 years,with no complications,poor wound healing,or recurrence of ovarian cysts.There was no significant difference in the number of ovarian antral follicles between 6 and 12 months after surgery and before surgery[7.02±1.57 vs.7.05±1.55,P = 1.000;6.93±1.46 vs.7.05±1.55,P =1.000].There was no significant difference in ovarian stromal blood flow(P>0.05),indicating no decrease in ovarian function.Conclusion The key to protecting ovarian function is the rational selection of surgical instruments and incisions,precise performance of resection of ovarian cysts,and protection of ovarian blood supply.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of occasional hypertension in preschool children in three provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, and analyze the relationship between their sleep status and occasional hypertension.Methods:From October to November 2017, a total of 24 842 preschool children from 109 kindergartens in 11 cities in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces were selected by intentional sampling method. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect basic information about the subjects, and the sleep status data was collected by the Children′s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Physical examinations were performed on the subjects, and height, weight and blood pressure were measured on-site. The difference in occasional hypertension detection rate among preschool children with different characteristics was compared, and the correlation between sleep status and occasional hypertension detection rate was analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression model.Results:The age of the subjects was (4.4±1.0) years, including 12 729 boys (51.2%). The prevalence of occasional hypertension was 31.8% (7 907/24 842). The prevalence of occasional hypertension among preschool children in three provinces of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was 31.8%. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rate of occasional hypertension among preschool children of different genders, age groups, family residence, family economic status and parents′ education level (all P values<0.05). The detection rate of occasional hypertension in children with less than 10 hours of sleep was higher than those with sufficient sleep, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, family residence, family economic status, parental education level, parental smoking history, and physical constitution, the ORs (95% CI) for less than 10 hours of sleep, turning on the lights while sleeping, and poor sleep quality were 1.09 (1.03-1.15), 1.17 (1.07-1.28) and 1.04 (0.91-1.18), respectively, compared with the corresponding reference group. Conclusion:The detection rate of occasional hypertension is high in preschool children in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and there is a positive correlation between insufficient sleep and turning on the light when sleeping and occasional hypertension in preschool children.

Objective·To investigate the safety and feasibility of early goal-directed mobilization in the recovery of gastrointestinal function after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods·The non-contemporaneous controlled studies were conducted.Subjects who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were included.From Sep 2022 to May 2023,forty patients were selected as the control group,and forty patients were selected from June 2023 to February 2024 as the experimental group.The general clinical data of the two groups were collected.The control group was treated with the nursing routine after pancreaticoduodenectomy,and there were no specific requirements for the time and goal of early activity.The experimental group had daily activity goals established for early mobilization,which were performed by the patients and their families,while the rest of their care was identical to that of the control group.The main index of effectiveness evaluation was the time of first flatus and first defecation,and the secondary indexes included the time of first getting out of bed,the time of oral drinking,the time of the gastric tube removal,and the postoperative levels of K+,Na+,and Cl-on the 3rd day of the postoperative period.Safety evaluations included chyle leak,postoperative pancreatic fistula,biliary leak and delayed gastric emptying,postoperative hemorrhage,unplanned reoperation,unplanned extubation,falls and death.Results·There was no statistically significant difference in the general clinical data of the patients in the 2 groups.After the implementation of early goal-directed mobilization,the time of first flatus was advanced from(3.95±1.68)d to(2.88±0.91)d(t=-3.560,P=0.001),and the time of first defecation was advanced from(4.90±1.61)d to(3.80±1.30)d(t=-3.352,P=0.001).The time of first getting out of bed was advanced from(5.18±1.77)d to(2.30±0.88)d(t=-9.205,P＜0.001),and the time of oral drinking was advanced from(4.10±1.89)d to(2.73±1.20)d(t=-3.883,P＜0.001).Significant differences were also observed in postoperative day 3 Na+(t=-2.745,P=0.008)and Cl-(t=-2.033,P=0.045)levels.Conclusion·Early goal-directed activity programs are safe and effective in promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
