Objective To screen the prevalence and related risk factors of minor hallucinations(MH)in newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods From November 2018 to December 2022,274 newly diagnosed patients with untreated PD were enrolled in the PD Clinic of Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.According to the score of item 2 of the unified PD rating scale Ⅰ(UPDRSⅠ),the PD patients with MH were selected(MH group,score≥2).The patients matched in age,sex,education and course of disease level were screened in non-MH PD patients(NMH group,score = 0).Cognitive function,depressive symptoms,anxiety symptoms,sleep quality,non-motor symptoms,rapid eye movement sleep disorder(RBD)symptoms,activities of daily life,motor function and disease severity were evaluated with appropriate scales.The differences between two groups were compared,and the risk factors of MH in PD patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate progressive Logistic regression.Results Among the 274 newly diagnosed PD patients,11 cases(4.01%)had MH.Compared with those in NMH group(22 cases),MH group had higher Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)scores,higher Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)scores,higher PD non motor symptoms(PDNMS)scores and higher RBD scores(all P＜0.05).Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high HAMD scores,high HAMA scores,high PDNMS scores and high RBD scores were risk factors for MH in PD patients(all P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high HAMD score(OR =1.182,95%CI:1.004-1.392,P =0.045)and high RBD score(OR =4.448,95%CI:1.066-18.557,P =0.041)were independent risk factors for MH in PD patients.Conclusions MH may occur in newly diagnosed PD patients with probability.Depression and RBD are independent risk factors for MH in PD patients.Attention should be paid to screening patients like this and early intervention measures should be taken.

Objective:To explore the surgical strategies and clinical efficacy for aortic dissection combined with refractory superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ischemia.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 24 patients with aortic dissection and refractory SMA ischemia admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from August 2010 to August 2020 were retrospectively collected. Of the 24 patients, 21 were males and 3 were females, with an age of (50.3±9.9) years (range: 44 to 72 years).Among them, 9 cases were Stanford type A aortic dissection, and 15 cases were type B. All patients underwent CT angiography upon admission, and based on imaging characteristics, they were classified into three types. Type Ⅰ: severe stenosis/occlusion of the SMA true lumen only; Type Ⅱ: stenosis of the true lumens in the descending aorta and SMA (isolated type); Type Ⅲ: stenosis of the true lumens in the thoracoabdominal aorta and SMA (continuation type). Surgical procedures, complications, mortality, and reintervention rates were recorded.Results:Among the 24 patients, 17 (70.8%) were classified as Type Ⅰ, 4 (16.7%) as Type Ⅱ, and 3 (12.5%) as Type Ⅲ. Fourteen cases of Type Ⅰ underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair combined with SMA stent implantation. Additionally, 3 Type Ⅰ and 1 Type Ⅱ patients underwent only SMA reconstruction (with one case of chronic TAAD treated with iliac artery-SMA bypass surgery). Moreover, 3 Type Ⅱ and 3 Type Ⅲ patients underwent descending aorta combined with SMA stent implantation. There were 5 patients (20.8%) who underwent small bowel resection, either in the same sitting or in a staged procedure. During hospitalization, 4 patients died, resulting in a mortality rate of 16.7%. Among these cases, two patients succumbed to severe intestinal ischemia resulting in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The follow-up duration was (46±9) months (range: 13 to 72 months). During the follow-up, 2 patients died, unrelated to intestinal ischemia. The 5-year freedom from reintervention survival rate was 86.1%, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 82.6%.Conclusions:Patients with aortic dissection and refractory SMA ischemia have a high perioperative mortality. However, implementing appropriate surgical strategies according to different clinical scenarios can reduce mortality and alleviate intestinal ischemia.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) in Marfan syndrome patients who had no history of aortic arch replacement.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. From January 2009 to December 2019,the clinical data of Marfan syndrome patients who underwent TEVAR for TBAD at the Department of Vascular Surgery were collected. A total of 23 patients were enrolled,including 15 males and 8 females. The age was (38.0±11.0) years (range:24 to 56 years). Among them,12 patients had history of ascending aortic surgery. Details of TEVAR,perioperative complications and reintervention were recorded and survival rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curve.Results:Technical success was 91.3% (21/23). Two patients with technical failure were as follows:one patient had type Ⅰa endoleak at the completion angiography,which healed spontaneously during the follow-up,and the other patient suffered aortic intimal intussusception after the deployment of the first stent-graft, and the second stent-graft was deployed. However, type Ⅲ endoleak was detected,which disappeared during the follow-up. One patient died during hospitalization. The median follow-up time ( M(IQR)) was 60 (48) months (range:12 to 132 months). Reintervention was performed on 7 patients,including 3 distal stent-graft-induced new entry,2 distal aortic dilation,1 Ⅰa endoleak and 1 retrograde type A aortic dissection,respectively. Five-year cumulative survival rate was 86.7% (95% CI:86.6% to 86.8%) and the 5-year freedom from reintervention rate was 81.8% (95% CI:61.8% to 92.8%). Conclusions:TEVAR is feasible in the treatment of TBAD in Marfan syndrome patients who has no history of aortic arch replacement. It has high technical success rate and low perioperative complication.

Carotid atherosclerotic plaque is the main cause of ischemic stroke. In recent years, with the continuous innovation of novel imaging technologies, numerous classification standards for carotid plaques provide more powerful evidence for the features of carotid plaques and perioperative vascular assessment, as well as the reference for surgeons in choosing therapeutic decisions. Ultrasound is the preferred non-invasive and convenient screening tool for carotid stenosis. Invasive examinations such as CT angiography and magnetic resonance angiography are suitable for carotid stenosis patients to determine the plaque composition and stability, which can guide surgical decision-making and help to prevent serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events. Advances in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis have focused on the improvement and innovation of vascular interventional devices and surgical procedures, including double-layer stents, coated stents and transcarotid artery revascularization. As technology continues to evolve, molecular imaging and more minimally invasive screening as well as therapies will be the way forward.

Objective To investigate the value of plain and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)enhanced MRI for differentiating clear cell hepatocellular carcinoma(CCHCC)and non-otherwise specified hepatocellular carcinoma(NOS-HCC).Methods Totally 36 CCHCC(CCHCC group)patients and 72 age-matched NOS-HCC(NOS-HCC group)patients were enrolled.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to retrospectively analyze the clinical,pathological and plain upper abdominal MRI as well as Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI data,so as to screen the independent predictors for distinguishing CCHCC and NOS-HCC.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the efficacy of MRI-related independent predictors for distinguishing CCHCC and NOS-HCC individually and in combination.Results Pathologic Edmondson-Steiner grade of HCC,lesions with fat components showed on MRI,the ratio of lesion-to-liver signal intensity on plain T1WI(LLRT1WI)and the ratio of lesion-to-muscle signal intensity on plain T1WI(LMRT1WI)were all independent predictors for distinguishing CCHCC from NOS-HCC(all P＜0.05).The AUC of lesions with fat components,LLRT1WI and LMRT1WI for distinguishing CCHCC and NOS-HCC alone was 0.652,0.689 and 0.687,respectively,and of the combination was 0.762,higher than that of lesions with fat components(Z=-2.401,P=0.016)but not different with AUC of LLRT1WI(Z=-1.841,P=0.066)and LMRT1WI(Z=-1.440,P=0.150)alone.Conclusion Plain and Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI could be used to distinguish CCHCC and NOS-HCC.
