Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder（RBD）， as a sleep disorder with unique clinical manifestations， is currently widely regarded as a precursor marker for α-synucleinopathies （Parkinson disease， dementia with Lewy bodies， and multiple system atrophy）. In recent years， great achievements have been made in radiological studies on isolated RBD and RBD comorbid with various α-synucleinopathies. This article reviews the research findings in RBD in terms of magnetic resonance imaging and radionuclide imaging and discusses the significance of radiological features in the diagnosis and prognosis of RBD， so as to provide a reference for subsequent research and clinical practice.

Objective To assess the clinical value of multimodal ultrasound score for assessment of endometrial receptivity among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and to provide guidance for improving pregnancy outcomes among PCOS patients. Methods A total of 48 PCOS patients admitted to Jiangning Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between January and December 2023 were enrolled as the case group, while 50 healthy women of childbearing age received ovulation monitoring at the same hospital during the same period served as the control group. Subjects received two-dimensional grayscale ultrasound during the implantation window (19 to 23 days of the menstrual cycle) for measurement of endometrial thickness, Gonen classification, and endometrial peristalsis. Two-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound was used for assessment of endometrial blood flow and three-dimensional ultrasound was used for assessment of endometrial volume and vascularization flow index (VFI). The endometrium multimodal ultrasound scores were estimated, and various parameters were compared between the two groups. The diagnostic performance of these parameters for PCOS was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results The age of subjects in the case group ranged from 20 to 38 years, with a mean age of (28.20 ± 2.82) years, and their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 21.23 to 29.11 kg/m², with a mean BMI of (26.25 ± 1.60) kg/m². The age of subjects in the control group ranged from 22 to 38 years, with a mean age of (28.10 ± 1.99) years, and their BMI ranged from 21.33 to 29.03 kg/m², with a mean BMI of (26.10 ± 1.78) kg/m². There were no significant differences between the case and control groups in terms of mean age, BMI, estradiol, and testosterone (t = 0.218, 0.422, 0.010, and 0.221; all P > 0.05). The endometrial thickness, endometrial volume, and VFI were significantly higher in the control group than in the case group (t = 4.838, 4.978, and 7.115; all P < 0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of endometrial classification, endometrial peristalsis pattern, and endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow (Z = −4.136, −4.048, and −3.884; all P < 0.05). The scores of endometrial classification, endometrial peristalsis, endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow, endometrial volume, VFI, and multimodal ultrasound were significantly lower in the case group than in the control group (t = 4.539, 4.449, 4.205, 3.209, 5.206, and 4.495; all P < 0.05). No significant difference was detected in the endometrial thickness score between the two groups (t = -0.149, P = 0.882). The areas under the ROC curves for endometrial thickness, endometrial volume, VFI, and multimodal ultrasound scores in diagnosis of PCOS were 0.753, 0.747, 0.809, and 0.858, respectively. Conclusion Multimodal ultrasound score provides a comprehensive assessment of the endometrium, and is effective in the assessment of endometrial receptivity, which may provide a reference for guiding pregnancy planning in PCOS patients.

Objective To investigate the status of familial aggregation of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in Jinniu District, Chengdu, and analyze its risk factors so as to provide a basis for developing prevention and control strategies of family aggregation of Hp infection. Methods A total of 172 subjects in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College · 416 Hospital of Nuclear Industry from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the research subjects. All subjects underwent 13C-urea breath test (13C-UBT) to diagnose whether there was Hp infection. Analyze the current situation of family aggregation of Hp infection in the region, collect general data of survey subjects, analyze the relevant factors affecting Hp family aggregation infection, and develop prevention and control strategies based on this. Results A total of 242 people from 97 households were surveyed, and the Hp family aggregation rate was 29.33%. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in family aggregation of Hp infection in terms of different age groups (χ²=9.719, P=0.008), marital status (χ²=8.496, P=0.014), occupations (χ²=19.462, P<0.001), frequencies of dining out (χ²=5.457, P=0.019), previous Hp test results (χ² =4.131, P=0.042) and test results after treatment (χ²=12.000, P=0.001), with statistical significance (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the frequency of dining out 2 days or more per week and a positive Hp test results in the past were risk factors for family aggregation of Hp infection, while the occupation of teachers/medical staff/management/technology personnel and a negative Hp results after treatment were protective factors (P<0.05). Conclusion Family aggregation of Hp infection is related to family members' occupation, frequency of dining out, previous Hp test results and Hp test results after eradication, which deserves attention in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol on endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in thyroid follicular cells induced by high iodine. Methods The thyroid follicular cell line Nthy-ori 3-1 was cultured in vitro and divided into four groups based on different culture methods: normal culture group (Normal group), high iodine group (HI group), resveratrol group (RES group), and high iodine combined with resveratrol group (HI+RES group). Cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8 assay, cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay, and the BIP, CHOP, IRE1 mRNA expressions were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of BIP, CHOP, and IRE1. Results Compared with the Normal group, the proliferation activity of cells in the HI group decreased after 72 hours of culture, the proportion of apoptotic cells increased, the proportion of TUNEL staining positive cells increased, and the relative expressions of BIP, CHOP, IRE1 mRNA, as well as BIP and CHOP proteins were significantly elevated (P < 0.001 or P < 0.05). Compared with the HI group, the proliferation activity of cells in the HI+RES group increased after 72 hours of culture, the proportion of apoptotic cells decreased, the proportion of TUNEL staining positive cells decreased, and the relative expressions of BIP, CHOP mRNA, as well as BIP and CHOP proteins, were significantly reduced(P < 0.001 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Resveratrol exerts a protective effect on thyroid follicular cells induced by high iodine, significantly inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis caused by excessive iodine intake.
