Objective To optimize the immune scheme of SARS-CoV-2 RBD recombinant protein vaccine based on P.pastoris,and investigate the effect of different adjuvants on neutralizating antibody(NAb)titer,in order to provide reference for the continuous optimization research of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.Methods The RBD protein was selected and the corresponding gene fragment was synthesized,which was constructed into the pPICZαA plasmid,and the plasmid was integrated into the genome of P.pastoris after linear transforma-tion for recombinant expression.The obtained recombinant protein vaccine was combined with different adju-vants to immunize mice to evaluate its immunogenicity.Results Both the target proteins wtRBD and Delta RBD were able to achieve satisfactory overexpression through the P.pastoris system.Compared with the 42 d interval,the IgG antibody titer at the 28 d interval increased by 1.8 times(44 923 vs.80 507).After 3 doses of immunization at an interval of 28 d,the geometric mean titer of NAb for Delta variant was 2.5 times higher than that at an interval of 42 days(2 191 vs.891).After immunization with Delta RBD recombinant protein vaccine combined with aluminum adjuvant,the NAb geometric mean titer for Delta variants reached 32 255(2 167-88 084).When using 5 μg or 30 μg Delta RBD immunization,the NAb titers of the aluminum adju-vant+CpG adjuvant group were about 10 times higher than those of the aluminum adjuvant group alone.Af-ter the third immunization,there was no significant difference in Delta RBD specific IgG titers between the 5 μg antigen group and the 30 μg antigen group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Both wtRBD and Delta RBD prepared based on P.pastoris could be used as effective antigens,with three doses of vaccine administered at a 28 day in-terval being the most effective.The combined immunization of Delta RBD recombinant protein with aluminum adjuvant+CpG adjuvant could obtain higher titers of NAb to exert immune effects on SARS-CoV-2 and its va-riants,providing some reference for the continuous optimization research of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To observe the neuropsychiatric behavioral performance of kainic acid(KA)-induced epilepsy rats;investigate gender differences in acute seizure and behavioral performance tasks relating to sense,motor,learning,and memory in the remission phase;and explore the potential neurobiological mechanisms of action.Methods Healthy SD rats aged 4 weeks were randomly divided into control and model groups,with 22 rats in each group(11 males and 11 females).An epileptic rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of KA.Seizure latency and frequency within 2 hours of KA injection were observed,seizure grade was assessed using the Racine grade standard,and a cortical electroencephalogram(EEG)was recorded.Behavioral performance was observed in a series of tasks including open field testing,balance beam walking,elevated plus maze,Y-maze,and novel object recognition.The level of GABA in the hippocampus was detected by ELISA,injury to hippocampal neurons was observed by Nissl staining,and the protein expression of synapsin-1 and synaptotagmin 1 in the hippocampus were detected by Western Blot.Results Both male and female rats presented typical epileptic behaviors after KA injection.However,compared with the effects in males,the latency of the first seizure(P=0.014)and Ⅳ～Ⅴ grading in female model rats were more pronounced(P＜0.01),and the frequency of epileptic seizures within 2 hours was significantly reduced(P=0.019).In the open field testing,KA-induced epileptic rats presented more motor but fewer hedonic behaviors,as indicated by the decrease in total movement distance in the central area,compared with the control group.Moreover,grooming frequency was significantly reduced in the female model rats compared with not only that in the control but also that in male model rats(P＜0.01).The model rats spent more time completing and had a higher score in the balance beam walking task,indicating their poorer stability and balance.In the elevated plus maze,the exploration times of male model rats in the closed arm was increased.The preference index of rats for the novel arm or object decreased in the Y-maze and novel object recognition,suggesting impairments to their learning and memory abilities.Moreover,neuronal injuries were found in the hippocampus of the model rats that were accompanied with a decline in GABA concentration and protein expression of synapsin-1 and synaptotagmin 1,with no gender differences.Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of KA successfully induced an epilepsy rat model.However,there was a gender difference in the characters of acute seizures and performance of sensory,motor,and learning memory during epileptic remission.There was no gender differences in the hippocampal GABA concentration or expression of synaptic plasticity-related proteins,and thus no evidence was found for the mechanisms underlying the gender differences.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis, treat-ment and prognosis of gallbladder cancer in China from 2010 to 2017.Methods:The single disease retrospective registration cohort study was conducted. Based on the concept of the real world study, the clinicopathological data, from multicenter retrospective clinical data database of gallbladder cancer of Chinese Research Group of Gallbladder Cancer (CRGGC), of 6 159 patients with gallbladder cancer who were admitted to 42 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2017 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) case resources; (2) age and sex distribution; (3) diagnosis; (4) surgical treatment and prognosis; (5) multimodality therapy and prognosis. The follow-up data of the 42 hospitals were collected and analyzed by the CRGGC. The main outcome indicator was the overall survival time from date of operation for surgical patients or date of diagnosis for non-surgical patients to the end of outcome event or the last follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was performed using the Logistic forced regression model, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The life table method was used to calculate survival rates and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Case resources: of the 42 hospitals, there were 35 class A of tertiary hospitals and 7 class B of tertiary hospitals, 16 hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer and 26 hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer, respectively. Geographical distribution of the 42 hospitals: there were 9 hospitals in central China, 5 hospitals in northeast China, 22 hospitals in eastern China and 6 hospitals in western China. Geographical distribution of the 6 159 patients: there were 2 154 cases(34.973%) from central China, 705 cases(11.447%) from northeast China, 1 969 cases(31.969%) from eastern China and 1 331 cases(21.611%) from western China. The total average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of the 6 159 patients was 18.3±4.5 per year, in which the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 4 974 patients(80.760%) from hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer was 38.8±8.9 per year and the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 1 185 patients(19.240%) from hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer was 5.7±1.9 per year. (2) Age and sex distribution: the age of 6 159 patients diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(56,71) years, in which the age of 2 247 male patients(36.483%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(58,71)years and the age of 3 912 female patients(63.517%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 63(55,71)years. The sex ratio of female to male was 1.74:1. Of 6 159 patients, 3 886 cases(63.095%) were diagnosed as gallbladder cancer at 56 to 75 years old. There was a significant difference on age at diagnosis between male and female patients ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001). (3) Diagnosis: of 6 159 patients, 2 503 cases(40.640%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 3 656 cases(59.360%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 2 110 patients(34.259%) not undergoing surgical treatment, of which 200 cases(9.479%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 910 cases(90.521%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 4 049 patients(65.741%) undergoing surgical treatment, of which 2 303 cases(56.878%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 746 cases(43.122%) were initial diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. Of the 1 746 patients who were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer, there were 774 cases(19.116%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer during operation and 972 cases(24.006%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer after operation. Of 6 159 patients, there were 2 521 cases(40.932%), 2 335 cases(37.912%) and 1 114 cases(18.087%) undergoing ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before initial diagnosis, respec-tively, and there were 3 259 cases(52.914%), 3 172 cases(51.502%) and 4 016 cases(65.205%) undergoing serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis, respectively. One patient may underwent multiple examinations. Results of univariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals, whether undergoing ultrasound, CT, MRI, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis were related factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.45, 1.98, 0.69, 0.68, 2.43, 0.41, 1.63, 0.41, 0.39, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 1.21-1.74, 1.64-2.40, 0.59-0.80, 0.60-0.78, 2.19-2.70, 0.37-0.45, 1.43-1.86, 0.37-0.45, 0.35-0.43, 0.38-0.47, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), sex, age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals and cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initially diagnosis were indepen-dent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.36, 1.42, 0.89, 0.67, 1.85, 1.56, 1.57, 0.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.13-1.64, 1.16-1.73, 0.79-0.99, 0.57-0.78, 1.60-2.14, 1.38-1.77, 1.38-1.79, 0.35-0.43, P<0.05). (4) Surgical treatment and prognosis. Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 447 cases(60.435%) with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. Cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb were 85(3.474%), 201(8.214%), 71(2.902%), 890(36.371%), 382(15.611%), 33(1.348%) and 785(32.080%), respectively. The median follow-up time and median postoperative overall survival time of the 2 447 cases were 55.75 months (95% confidence interval as 52.78-58.35) and 23.46 months (95% confidence interval as 21.23-25.71), respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb ( χ2=512.47, P<0.001). Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 988 cases(73.796%) with resectable tumor, 177 cases(4.371%) with unresectable tumor and 884 cases(21.833%) with tumor unassessable for resectabi-lity. Of the 2 988 cases with resectable tumor, there were 2 036 cases(68.139%) undergoing radical resection, 504 cases(16.867%) undergoing non-radical resection and 448 cases(14.994%) with operation unassessable for curative effect. Of the 2 447 cases with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data who underwent surgical treatment, there were 53 cases(2.166%) with unresectable tumor, 300 cases(12.260%) with resectable tumor and receiving non-radical resection, 1 441 cases(58.888%) with resectable tumor and receiving radical resection, 653 cases(26.686%) with resectable tumor and receiving operation unassessable for curative effect. There were 733 cases not undergoing surgical treatment with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases not undergoing surgical treatment, cases undergoing surgical treatment for unresectable tumor, cases undergoing non-radical resection for resectable tumor and cases undergoing radical resection for resectable tumor ( χ2=121.04, P<0.001). (5) Multimodality therapy and prognosis: of 6 159 patients, there were 541 cases(8.784%) under-going postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and advanced chemotherapy, 76 cases(1.234%) under-going radiotherapy. There were 1 170 advanced gallbladder cancer (pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲa) patients undergoing radical resection, including 126 cases(10.769%) with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 044 cases(89.231%) without postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.23, P=0.629). There were 658 patients with pathological staging as stage Ⅲa who underwent radical resection, including 66 cases(10.030%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 592 cases(89.970%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.05, P=0.817). There were 512 patients with pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲb who underwent radical resection, including 60 cases(11.719%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 452 cases(88.281%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy and cases without post-operative adjuvant chemo-therapy ( χ2=1.50, P=0.220). Conclusions:There are more women than men with gallbladder cancer in China and more than half of patients are diagnosed at the age of 56 to 75 years. Cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initial diagnosis are independent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Preoperative resectability evaluation can improve the therapy strategy and patient prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer is not standardized and in low proportion in China.

OBJECTIVE：To es tablish the HPLC fingerprint of Arnebia euchroma ，analyze them with chemical pattern recognition technology ， and determine the contents of 3 components. METHODS ： HPLC method was adopted. Using acetylshikonin as reference ，HPLC fingerprint of 34 batches of A. euchroma from different sources were drawn. Similarity Evaluation System for TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2012A edition ）was used to evaluate the similarity of the samples ，and common peaks were determined. SPSS 19.0 and SIMCA 14.1 statistical software was used for cluster analysis ，principle component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminate analysis. According to the standard of the variable importance in the project greater than 1，the differential markers affecting the quality difference of A. euchroma were screened. Meanwhile ，the contents of 3 components were determined by the same HPLC method. RESULTS ：There were 12 common peaks in HPLC fingerprints for 34 batches of A. euchroma . The similarity of other samples were more than 0.86，except that t he three （No.2016A3005-5） batches of medicinal herbs on the market were less than 0.72；3 common peaks were identified ， such as shikonin ，acetylshikonin， β ，β ′-dimethylacrylic acanine. These 34 batches of samples could be classified into two categories . S 1， qq.com S4-S6，S13，S15-S20，S22，S26-S34 were clustered into one category，and others clustered into the other category. By principal component analysis ，the contribution rates of three principle components were 52.834％ ，18.600％ and 8.387％ . Accumulative contribution rate was 79.821％ . Six constituents，such as shikonin，acetylshikonin and β，β'-dimethylacrylic acanine were screened as differential markers，representing the major differences of A. euchroma . The linear range of above three components were 0.72-90，2.05-410，2.50-500 µg/mL（r all more than 0.999）， respectively. The limits of quantification were 0.132，0.135，0.118 µg/mL，respectively. The limits of detection were 0.040，0.041， 0.036 µg/mL，respectively. RSDs of precision ，stability（24 h），reproducibility and durability tests were all lower than 3％. Recoveries were 95.959％-100.201％（RSD＝1.669％，n＝6），97.818％-102.698％（RSD＝1.788％，n＝6），95.831％-99.344％ （RSD＝1.600％，n＝6）. The contents of above three components were 0.002％-0.134％，0.025％-1.388％，0.022％-0.881％. CONCLUSIONS：Established HPLC fingerprint and content determination method are simple and stable ，can be used for quality evaluation and quantitative analysis of A. euchroma . Shikonin ，acetylshikonin and β，β'-dimethylacrylic acanine are different in the content and are differential markers of A. euchroma from different source.

Objective:To explore abnormal microstructural changes of white matter in patients with white matter lesions(WML) using diffusion tensor imaging(DTI), and to determine the association of such abnormalities of DTI parameters with executive function.Methods:Totally 34 patients with WML were recruited from the department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2012 to May 2019.All patients with WML were scored with Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), and assessed with Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and clinical dementia rating(CDR). They were divided into WML-cognitive normal group, WML-vascular cognitive impairment-non dementia group and WML-Dementia group.The Stroop color and word test (SCWT), trail making test-A (TMTA), digit symbol test and verbal fluency test were carried out to evaluate executive function.In addition, the healthy elderly without WML lesions were selected as the control group after they were examined by MRI, and all brains of the subjects went through DTI with Siemens 3.0 T MR.The data were collected and analyzed by voxel based analysis (VBA). The anisotropy and mean diffusion coefficient of DTI in the region of interest (ROI) and other regions in the brain were studied in the four groups, and their correlation with scores of executive function in WML patients was analyzed.Results:(1)In these executive function test, there were significant differences between the patients with cognitive impairment (WML-VAD group, WML-VCIND group) and normal cognition group(WML-CN group, NC group), such as SCWT(B)(65.54±6.24 vs 43.67±0.95, 76.75±2.13 vs 43.67±0. 95, 65.54±6.24 vs 43.66±1.81, 76.75±2.13 vs 43.66±1.81), SCWT(C)(88.58±6.76 vs 61.63±1.31, 96.37±1.47 vs 61 63±1.31, 88.58±6.76 vs 66.31±8.19, 96.37±1.47 vs 66.31±8.19), TMTA(40.47±2.76 vs 30.92±0.47, 44.24±1.43 vs 30.92±0.47, 44.24±1.43 vs 31.99±2.07, 40.47±2.76 vs 31.99±2.07), TMTB(88.66±6.55 vs 80.34±0.61, 96.70±1.72 vs 80.34±0.61, 88.66±6.55 vs 83.10±5.91, 96.70±1.72 vs 83. 10±5.91), Digit Symbol Test(39.25±5.63 vs 47.00±2.55, 31.27±3.93 vs 47.00±2.5, 39.25±5.63 vs 48.86±4.34, 31.27±3.93 vs 48.86±4.34) and Verbal Fluency Test(8.94±1.00 vs 11.71±0.47, 6.64±0.81 vs 11.71±0.47, 8.94±1.00 vs 10.86±0.69, 6.64±0.81 vs 10.86±0.69) scores ( P<0.05); In the patients with cognitive impairment, there were significant differences between WML-VAD group and WML-VCIND group, such as SCWT(B), SCWT(C), TMTA, TMTB, digit symbol test and verbal fluency test scores ( P<0.05); There were significant differences between WML-CN patients and NC group in the scores of SCWT (C), verbal fluency test( P<0.05). (2)FA values in the genu of corpus callosum and the inferior longitudinal fasciculus were negatively correlated with the time of SCWT (B), SCWT (C) and the TMTA( r=-0.436--0.471), but positively correlated with the scores of digit symbol test and verbal fluency test( r=0.428-0.573). MD values in the genu of corpus callosum, the superior/inferior longitudinal fasciculus and the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus were positively correlated with the time of SCWT (B), SCWT (C) and TMTA( r=0.432~0.609), but negatively correlated with the scores of digit symbol test and verbal fluency test( r=-0.424--0.630, all P<0.003125 after emendation). Conclusion:The executive function of patients with WML-Dementia decreases significantly.The more serious the damage of white matter microstructure, the more serious the damage of executive of function.

Objective:To investigate the gap between the health education and the best evidence among nurses and patients with postdialysis fatigue (PDF) , find out the problems and analyze the reasons, and provide a reference and basis for future clinical nursing decisions among the dialysis room nurses.Methods:By searching the evidence-based guideline websites and integrating the best evidence comprehensively, a health knowledge questionnaire for dialysis room nurses and patients with PDF was made. In December 2018, a total of 7 nurses and 56 patients in the dialysis room of Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were selected by purpose sampling method, and they were investigated by the health knowledge questionnaire for dialysis room nurses and patients.Results:The score of the PDF knowledge questionnaire for the 7 nurses was (56.43±4.37) , with a highest score of 64 and a lowest score of 51, and the standard-reaching rate was 28.57% (2/7) . The score of the PDF knowledge questionnaire for the 56 patients was (52.41±9.54) , with a highest score of 70 and a lowest score of 20, and the standard-reaching rate was 28.57% (16/56) . Patients and nurses received verbal health education and small lectures in the department, and there was no unified education content.Conclusions:There is no unified and scientific education content nor standardized education model. Evidence-based health education should be carried out for nurses to improve the awareness of nurses and patients in this regard, thereby reducing patients' fatigue.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of chemokine-like factor superfamily member (CMTM) 5 on the proliferation of multiple myeloma cells. Methods: RT-qPCR method was used to detect the expression and correlation of CMTM5, caspase3 and caspase9 in U266 after decitabine demethylation treatment; U266 transfected with pcDNA3.1 plasmid overexpressed CMTM5, then cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8 assay. Results: Compared with the control group, the low-dose demethylation treatment increased mRNA expression of CMTM5, caspase3, and caspase9 in U266, and showed a time-dependent (P<0.01). The up-trend of CMTM5, caspase3, and caspase9 in the high-demethylation drug treatment group was more significant and also showed time-dependent (P<0.001); There was a significant positive correlation between CMTM5 and caspase3 (r=0.937) and caspase9 (r=0.945) in each group (P<0.001). After transfection of U266 with the pcDNA3.1-CMTM5 plasmid, overexpression of CMTM5 inhibited the cell proliferation activity compared with the control and pcDNA3.1-vector group. Conclusion Decitabine has a reductive effect on the low level of CMTM5 in U266 cells, and its recovery level is significantly positively correlated with caspase 3 and caspase9. Re-expression of CMTM5 inhibits the proliferative activity of U266.

Objective To explore abnormal microstmctural changes of white matter in patients with white matter lesions using diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),and to determine the association of such abnormalities of DTI parameters with cognitive function.Methods The objects who have already confirmed with WML were collected from March 2012 to February 2018 through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan from the neurology department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital.Use The hamilton depression scale(HAMD) and the hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) to eliminate anxiety and depression,and divided into WML-CN group,WML-VCIND group and WML-VAD group with Mini-mental state examination (MMSE),Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)and clinical dementia rating(CDR).In addition,select the healthy elderly people without WML by MRI scan as the normal control group.All of the subjects were detected with the superconduct magnetic resonance imaging system (German SIEMENS 3.0T) for the DTI scanning.Original images were processed with VBA.Then explore the changes of FA and MD of DTI in whole brain and regions of interest in NC group,WML-CN group,WML-VCIND group and WWML-VAD group,and its correlation with the severity of cognitive impairment in patients with WML.Results The damage degree of the fiber microstructure of brain white matter was significantly correlated with the total grade point of MoCA (P＜0.01).In figure FA,the variance analysis of F test results showed that the significant brain areas were the splenium of the corpus callosum,the genu of corpus callosum,bilateral posterior internal capsule,retrolenticular part of internal capsule,anterior thalamic radiation,partial inferior longitudinal fasciculus and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus,cingulate,external capsule,upper and posterior part of the radiation crowns,partial superior longitudinal fasciculus,etc.(P＜0.05 after FWE correction based on TFCE method).In Figure MD,the variance analysis of F test results showed that the statistically significant brain areas mainly included the left external capsule and hook,partial genu and splenium of corpus callosum,Bilateral,bilateral inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus,inferior longitudinal fasciculus,anterior thalamic radiation,retrolenticular part of internal capsule,cingulate,etc (P＜ 0.05 after FWE conection based on TFCE).Conclusion No matter whether cognitive impairment exists in patient with WML or not,all DTI parameters are different from those of normal people.The integrity of white matter fiber has been damaged with different degrees.The more severe the cognitive impairment in the external manifestations of patients with WML,the greater the damage to the intrinsic white matter microstructure.
