Objective To obtain the data of radiological diagnosis and treatment resource distribution at medical institutions of different levels and in various cities, understand the status of resource allocation, provide policy-making basis and suggestions for optimizing the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources within the province, and offer data and references for related research. Methods A basic situation questionnaire survey was conducted on radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Hunan Province. Data were reviewed, analyzed, and statistically processed using Excel software to understand the allocation situation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in Hunan Province. Results As of 2022, there were 3031 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, 19770 radiation workers, and 6617 pieces of radiological diagnostic and treatment equipment. There were 80 radiation treatment institutions, 49 nuclear medicine institutions, 178 interventional radiology institutions, and 3028 X-ray imaging diagnosis institutions. There were 1077 radiation workers in radiation treatment, 461 radiation workers in nuclear medicine, 3369 radiation workers in interventional radiology, and 14,863 radiation workers in X-ray imaging diagnosis. There were 135 pieces of radiation treatment equipment, 56 pieces of nuclear medicine equipment, 262 pieces of interventional radiology equipment, and 6164 pieces of X-ray imaging diagnosis equipment. Conclusion Primary and lower grade medical institutions in Hunan Province account for a relatively high proportion of the total number of medical institutions, whereas radiological diagnostic and treatment resources are predominantly concentrated in tertiary medical institutions, demonstrating a unbalanced allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in various cities. In terms of the overall allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources, interventional radiology is superior to the national average, nuclear medicine and X-ray imaging diagnosis are comparable to the national averages, and radiation treatment is lower than the national average. The total GDP is not the decisive factor in determining the development of local medical levels. It is suggested that relevant authorities should improve the rationality of the planning for the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources, promote the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources to the grassroots and underdeveloped areas through various measures, and thus achieve the goal of balanced resource allocation.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of neuroendoscopic minimal invasive surgery in treating the patients with intraventricular hemorrhage cast.Methods The prospective non-randomized con-trolled study was adopted.Sixty-eight inpatients with intraventricular hematoma cast receiving surgical treat-ment in the neurosurgery department of this hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects;thirty-four cases adopting neuroendoscopic minimal invasive surgery served as the observation group and 34 cases adopting lateral ventricle drilling drainage served as the control group;the surgical time,in-traoperative bleeding volume,hospitalization duration,ICU duration,clearance time of postoperative ventricle hematoma,postoperative hydrocephalus occurrence,occurrence rate of recurrent bleeding in operating area and postoperative complications occurrence rate were observed in the two groups.The levels of serum TNF-α,L-6,CRP,GFAP,S100-β and NSE before operation and on postoperative 7 d were detected;the GCS scores,BI,NIHSS scores before operation and on postoperative 14 d were observed;the GOS scores in postoperative 6 months were observed.Results The surgical time and intraoperative bleeding amount in the control group were significantly less than those in the observation group(P＜0.05);the hospitalization duration,ICU dura-tion,clearance time of postoperative ventricular hematoma and incidence rate of hydrocephalus in the observa-tion group were significantly short or less than those in the control group(P＜0.05);there was no statistical-ly significant difference in postoperative rebleeding incidence rate between the two groups(P＞0.05);the in-cidence rates of pulmonary infection,urinary tract infection,deep venous thrombosis and surgical site infection in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group(P＜0.05);there was no sta-tistically significant difference in organ dysfunction incidence rate between the two groups(P＞0.05);the lev-els of postoperative TNF-α,L-6,CRP,GFAP,S100-β and NSE in the both groups were significantly decreased compared with those before operation(P＜0.05);the observation group was significantly lower than the con-trol group(P＜0.05);the GCS,BI and NIHSS scores on postoperative 14 d in the two groups were signifi-cantly improved compared with before operation(P＜0.05);the observation group was significantly better than the control group(P＜0.05);the GOS score at postoperative 6 months in the observation group was bet-ter than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery is ef-fective in treating intraventricular hemorrhage cast with low incidence rate of postoperative complications,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Organoid models are used to study kidney physiology, such as the assessment of nephrotoxicity and underlying disease processes. Personalized human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids are ideal models for compound toxicity studies, but there is a need to accelerate basic and translational research in the field. Here, we developed an automated continuous imaging setup with the "read-on-ski" law of control to maximize temporal resolution with minimum culture plate vibration. High-accuracy performance was achieved: organoid screening and imaging were performed at a spatial resolution of 1.1 μm for the entire multi-well plate under 3 min. We used the in-house developed multi-well spinning device and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity model to evaluate the toxicity in kidney organoids using this system. The acquired images were processed via machine learning-based classification and segmentation algorithms, and the toxicity in kidney organoids was determined with 95% accuracy. The results obtained by the automated "read-on-ski" imaging device, combined with label-free and non-invasive algorithms for detection, were verified using conventional biological procedures. Taking advantage of the close-to-in vivo-kidney organoid model, this new development opens the door for further application of scaled-up screening using organoids in basic research and drug discovery.

Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormone biosynthesis. It plays an important role in the growth, development, maturation and the function of organs and systems. Epidemiological and animal studies have shown that the effect of iodine on human body is bidirectional. Insufficient and excessive intake of iodine will cause adverse consequences and affect human health. At present, the research on the harm of iodine nutritional abnormalities to human health mostly focuses on morphology and function of thyroid. In fact, iodine nutritional abnormalities not only affect thyroid, but also have many adverse effects on other aspects of the body. There is evidence of a link between abnormal iodine nutrition, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease, which will lead to abnormal levels of triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the body. This paper reviews the research progress on the relationship between iodine nutrition, thyroid function and body lipid metabolism, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the "scientific and precise" prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders in China.

Objective:This article summarized the characteristics of inpatients with the COVID-19 by psychiatric contact consultation in Wuhan.Method:This was a retrospective study. A total of 105 patients consulted by the Guangdong psychological medical team from March 1, 2020 to March 7, 2020 were selected. Data were collected by 20 psychiatrists responsible for the contact consultation, including age, gender, the main reasons for the contact consultation and the psychiatric treatment plan. The consultant doctor decided whether to enter the isolation ward according to the patient′s condition introduced by the attending physician, and whom were followed up within a week. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to analyze the data.Results:There were 105 patients from 5 designated hospitals, aged （58.3±18.9） years, 62.9% (66/105) were females, and 102 (97.1%) were consulted face-to-face in the isolated ward. Main reasons for consultation were anxiety (65, 61.9%), depression (27, 25.7%), insomnia (6, 5.7%), agitation (6, 5.7%), and illusion (1, 1%). Seventy-seven of those patients (73.3%) received individualized psychotherapy, 1(1.0%) was prescribed with psychiatric medication, and 27 (25.7%) were treated with both measures. Follow-up showed that psychological symptoms relieved in 102 cases (97.1%).Conclusion:Psychosocial symptoms such as anxiety and depression are common in infected patients, and thereby psychiatric contact and consultation is in great demand in the treatment of COVID-19. Early intervention of mental health professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of patients plays a positive role in the recovery of them.

Objective To describe the clinical and radiological characteristics, the etiology, clinical course and MRI findings and prognosis of reversible splenial lesion syndrome ( RESLES) are analyzed.Methods Clinical and MRI findings of adult patients who presented with RESLES were retrospectively reviewed.Corresponding to severity of disability using Modified Oxford Handicap Scale ( MOHS ) , patients were classified into favorable outcome group (MOHS≤2)and poor outcome group(MOHS≥3),clinical and neuroimaging features between two outcome groups were compared.Results Eight patients fulfilled the criteria were included, who suffered from a broad spectrum of disorders, including mild encephalitis/encephalopathy, Marchiafava-Bignami disease and antiepileptic drug withdrawal.MRI found a high signal lesion in the splenium with or without the other parts of corpus callosum and extracallosal involved.The hyperintensity disappeared or lapsed comfirmed by repeated MRI.There is an significant difference on symptoms of severe disturbance of consciousness during clinical course and MRI showed extracallosal lesions between two groups (P<0.05).Conclusions RESLES is a rare entity with wide clinicoradiological spectrum due to varied diseases and conditions.Although overall symptoms of patients with RESLES trend to relieve, the prognosis of patients with severe disturbance of consciousness and extracallosal lesions are unlikely to be favorable.

Objective To assess cerebrovascular reserve ( CVR) function in patients with internal border zone infarction(IBZI) induced by severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis, and investigate the impact on progression and outcome of the disease .Methods A total of 84 patients with unilateral severe MCA stenosis were selected . Hypercapnia was induced by holding breath .The change of blood flow velocity in MCA was measured by transcranial Doppler ( TCD ) to calculate CVR .According to CVR , patients were divided into impaired regional CVR group ( CVR <10%) and normal CVR group ( CVR ≥10%) .The NIHSS was used to evaluate neurological function in both groups within 14 d, and mRS was used to evaluate acute stage outcome of the patients at discharge .All the patients were followed-up for 6 months, the incidences of recurrence , complications and mortality in the two groups were analyzed .Results The incidence of progressive cerebral infarction in the impaired regional CVR group (67.39%) was significantly higher than that in the normal CVR group (42.11%) ( P<0.05).The impaired regional CVR group showed higher proportion of patients with poor clinical outcome at discharge ( mRS≥3 ) (63.04%)compared to the normal CVR group (36.84%) (P<0.05).In the followed-up 6 months, the incidences of recurrence and complications were 34.78% and 45.65% respectively in the impaired regional CVR group , they were significantly higher than that in normal CVR group (15.79%,23.68%)(P<0.05).The overall mortality rates did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P>0.05 ) .Conclusion Impaired regional CVR may be predictive of subsequent progressive cerebral infarction and poor clinical outcomes in patients with IBZI induced by severe MCA stenosis .

Objective To investigate clinical significance and related factors of fluid-attenuated inversion recov?ery vascular hyperintensities (FVH) in transient ischemic attack (TIA) of carotid system. Method Data including general information and TIA risk factors was continuously collected from 142 patients with carotid system TIA from the depart?ment of neurology of Sheng jing Hospital affiliated China Medical University from January 2012 to February 2014.All pa?tients completed brain MRI including FLAIR and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)and MRA examinations within 72 hours after TIA. All patients were followed up for one month. Risk factors and FVH situations were analyzed based on clinical manifestations and DWI results. Result There were 87 male cases (61.27%)and FVH positive 57 cases (40.14%) among 142 cases with carotid system TIA (mean age 63.2±11.5). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the large intra?cranial carotid artery stenosis≥50%(OR=2.44,95%CI:1.09~5.49, P=0.03) and prior history of ischemic stroke (OR=3.88,95%CI:1.04~14.5, P=0.04) were independently associated with positive FVH. At one month followed-up, 40 cas?es (28.17%) of 142 patients progressed to acute cerebral infarction. Vulnerable plaque number in the contralateral carot?id artery (P=0.018), contralateral intracranial large vessel stenosis in MRA≥50%(P=0.007) and contralateral FVH oc?currence rate (P=0.001) were significantly higher in cerebral infarction group than in non-cerebral infarction group. Con?clusion FVH is common in carotid TIA patients, which is associated with intracranial carotid artery stenosis ischemic and previous history of ischemic stroke. Vulnerable plaque number of contralateral carotid artery, contralateral intracranial large vessel stenosis≥50%and the rate of occurrence of contralateral FVH may be associated with short-term progress leading TIA to acute infarction.

Objective Toinvestigatethecorrelationofsmallvesseldisease(CSVD)causedacute lacunarinfarctionandurinemicroalbumin.Methods Theclinicaldataof136patientswithacutelacunar infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology,Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from November 2012 to April 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into either a CSVD group (n=72)or a cerebral large vessel disease (CLVD)group (n=64)according to their carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound and head magnetic resonance angiography findings. The levels of urinary microalbumin in both groups were observed and compared. SAS 9. 1 software was used to conduct statistic analysis. A Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for CSVD caused acute lacunarinfarction.Results TheconcentrationofurinemicroalbuminoftheCSVDgroup(22±13mg/L) was significantly lower than (29 ± 14 mg/L)that of the CLVD group. There was significant difference (P<0.05). There was significant difference in the increased urine microalbumin levels between the CSVD group and the CLVD group (P<0. 01). There was an increasing trend for the proportion of patients with urine microalbumin concentration 10- <30 mg/L (56. 9%[41/72])in the CSVD group compared with the CLVD group (26. 6%[17/64]). Logistic regression analysis showed that the slightly increased microalbuminuria was associated with CSVD caused acute lacunar infarction (OR,3. 130,95%CI 1. 481-6.618;P<0.01).Conclusion Theslightlyincreasedmicroalbuminuriaisanindependentriskfactorfor CSVD caused acute lacunar infarction.
