Purpose To explore the effect of compressed sensing(CS)technique with different acceleration factors on the quality of cardiac magnetic resonance cine sequences and feasibility of clinical application.Materials and Methods From January to July 2021,40 healthy volunteers were prospectively recruited for cardiac magnetic resonance cine imaging in Hefei First People's Hospital.Four scan protocols of volunteers were designed:SENSE 2 and CS-cine sequences with acceleration factors of 3,4 and 8.The imaging slices include four chamber heart,short axis heart,left ventricular two chamber heart and three chamber heart.Subjective score of image quality,left ventricular cardiac function and 16-segment myocardial thickness of SENSE 2 and CS3,CS4 and CS8 were compared and analyzed.Results Taking SENSE 2 image as the standard score of 5,the scores of CS3 and CS4 were above 3,and the scores of CS8 were below 3.There was no significant difference between the scores of four chamber heart and short axis heart images of CS3 and SENSE 2 sequence(all P>0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the subjective scores of image quality between the left ventricular two chamber heart and three chamber heart groups of each sequence(all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in left ventricular function(left ventricular ejection fraction,left ventricular end systolic volume,left ventricular end diastolic volume,left ventricular stroke volume,left ventricular end-diastolic mass)(F=0.027,0.182,0.057,0.140,0.545)and myocardial thickness(F=0.052-7.366)among the four imaging schemes(all P>0.05).Conclusion Cardiac cine based on compressed sensing technology have good application prospects.With the increase of acceleration factors,the scanning time gradually decreases,and the corresponding image quality will also decrease.When the acceleration factor is 4,that is,the scanning time of the conventional cine sequence is reduced by 50%,the left ventricular function and myocardial thickness can still be accurately measured,and the image quality basically meets the diagnostic requirements.

Objective:To investigate the effect of posterior nasal neurectomy(PNN) with pharyngeal neurectomy (PN) on chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP)complicated with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). Methods:83 patients with perennial allergic rhinitis combined with chronic group-wide sinusitis with nasal polyps who attended our hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were selected. All patients underwent conventional functional endoscopic sinusitis surgery(FESS)+ nasal polypectomy. Patients were divided according to whether they underwent PNN+PN. 38 cases in the experimental group underwent FESS combined with PNN+PN; 44 cases in the control group underwent conventional FESS alone. All patients underwent the VAS, RQLQ, and MLK before treatment, and at 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Meanwhile, other relevant data were collected and the preoperative and postoperative follow-up data were collected and analyzed to assess the differences between the two groups. Results:The total postoperative follow-up period was 1 year. The recurrence rate of nasal polyps at 1 year postoperatively and the nasal congestion VAS score at 6 months postoperatively were not statistically significant in the two groups(P>0.05). However, the patients in the experimental group had statistically significantly lower effusion and sneezing VAS scores, MLK endoscopy scores and RQLQ scores at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively, and nasal congestion VAS scores at 1 year postoperatively compared to the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with perennial AR complicated with CRSwNP, the combination of the PNN+PN in FESS can significantly improve the short-term curative effect, and PNN+PN is a safe and effective surgical treatment.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate whether AP1903, a small-molecule chemical inducer, can terminate the cytotoxicity of CD19CAR-T cells over-expressing iCasp9 suicide gene in vivo and in vitro. Methods: CD19CAR-T cells over-expressing iCasp9 (iCasp9-CD19CAR-T) were constructed and co-incubated with AP1903. Then, the cell phenotype and apoptosis were detected by Flow cytometry, and the iCasp9/CID suicide gene system was verified on K562 and T cells, respectively. The cytotoxicity of iCasp9-CD19CAR-T cells was detected in vivo (survival rate of NCG mice bearing Raji cell transplanted xenograft) and in vitro (cell killing function was detected by Flow cytometry) under the administration of AP1903. Results: Compared with CD19CAR-T cells, iCasp9-CD19CAR-T cells showed in significant difference in proliferation, phenotype and cytotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo (all P>0.05). At 2 h after AP1903 administration, the apoptosis rates of K562 and T cells co-expressing iCasp9 and CD19CAR were (33.8±0.9)% and (27.95±0.35)%, respectively; and at 24 h after AP1903 administration, the apoptosis rates reached 100% in both cell lines. The in vitro cytotoxicity of iCasp9-CD19CAR-T cells induced by AP1903 was significantly lower than that without AP1903 treatment (P<0.01); the 60-day survival rate of mice bearing Raji cell transplanted tumor treated with AP1903-induced iCasp9-CD19CAR-T cells was also significantly lower than those treated with iCasp9-CD19CAR-T cells alone (P<0.01). Conclusion: AP1903 can effectively terminate the cytotoxicity of CD19CAR-T cells over-expressing iCasp9 suicide gene in vitro and in vivo.
