Objective:To investigate the change of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging in the bilateral substantia nigra (SN) and red nucleus (RN) of Parkinson disease (PD), and to explore the value of CEST-MRI for the clinical application of PD.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 45 PD patients (PD group) and 21 sex-, age-, and cognitive-function matched normal control subjects (NC group) were retrospectively enrolled from December 2012 to July 2015 in Beijing Hospital. All subjects underwent brain CEST-MRI and routine MRI. Based on the MATLAB software package, the 4-pool Lorentz fitting model was applied to analyze the signal change of CEST imaging, which could acquire the mean amplitudes of the 4-pool parameters including Amide, nuclear overhauser enhancement (NOE), direct water saturation (DS) and magnetization transfer (MT) in the bilateral SN and RN. Independent samples t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare CEST parameters between the PD group and the NC group and controlled by Bonferroni correction. The combined model was constructed based on parameters with inter-group differences after correction. The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the CEST parameters and the combined model. Results:Compared with the NC group, the left SN Amide value, left RN Amide value, and right SN NOE value were reduced in the PD group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.59, corrected P=0.026; t=-3.77, corrected P=0.016; Z=-3.27, corrected P=0.017). The left SN Amide value, the left RN Amide value, the right SN NOE value, and the combined model all had good diagnostic efficacy in the differentiation of the PD group from the HC group (AUCs of 0.78, 0.79, 0.75, and 0.81, respectively). The combined model had the highest AUC value (0.81) and specificity (97.78%), the Amide value of left SN had the highest sensitivity (93.33%). Conclusions:Quantitative analysis of CEST-MRI based on the 4-pool Lorentz fitting model shows significant differences in the CEST quantitative indicators of the SN and RN between the PD group and the NC group, demonstrating good potential for clinical application in the diagnosis of PD.

BACKGROUND: Due to the difference of species, the data of vessel in human are particularly useful for the clinical practice.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the longitudinal residue strain and the relationship between stress and strain of human limb arteries and veins, and explore the influence of different biomechanical properties on the repairs of limb injury.DESIGN: Observational trials.SETTING: Institute of Orthopaedics, Xijing Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was carried out in the Xijing Hospital Affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from September 2005 to September 2006. The specimens were taken from 13 male amputee donors(who treated for accident injury), aged 18 to 30 years. Those tissue samples were used with the approval from the donors and offered by Xijing Hospital Affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.METHODS: ①Harvest and preservation of samples: The samples were obtained within 2 hours after death. The vessels were calibrated and harvested without any large branch to avoid the influence on the mechanical property of vessel wall,and then token on major vessels of limbs with Methylene Blue. The distance between the points token on vessel was measured by vernier caliper. The token vessels were cut and taken into Kreb's liquid in ice casement, then were kept into freezer (0-5 ℃). ②Longitudinal stretch ratio measurement: The vessels were taken into Kreb's liquid and the distance between the points token on vessel was measured by vernier caliper. The longitudinal residue strain was expressed by longitudinal stretch ratio. Lab temperature was 20-25 ℃, experiment was finished in 2 hours after sampling.③Stretch test: The vessel cut 1.0 cm was set into the instrument with Kreb's liquid for uniaxial tension test. The change length of each vascular specimen with or without the load and each load was measured three times and was averaged, lab temperature was 20-25 ℃, and experiments were finished in 5 hours after sampling. The curve of stress-strain was fitted by the measured data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Longitudinal stretching ratio, residue strain and stress-strain relationship of normal limb arteries and veins.RESULTS: The longitudinal stretch ratio of each artery decreased along vascular branch from proximal heart part to distal heart part, and that of each vein was contrast; There were significant difference in the longitudinal stretch ratios of major artery compared with those of saphena megna vein and branchiocephalicae vein (P < 0.001). The curve of artery shifting right showed the stiffness of vessels decreased along vascular branch from proximal heart part to distal heart part. That of vein shifting left showed the stiffness of vessels increased along vascular branch.CONCLUSION: With the major artery of human limbs from proximal end to distal end, both the longitudinal residue strain and the vascular stiffness gradually decreases, as for the vein, the condition is contrast. It suggests that the longitudinal biomechanical property should be involved into the consideration of repairing the artery and vein injuries of different sites.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the features, diagnosis and treatment of limb arterial injuries caused by traffic accidents.
METHODSA total of 43 patients with limb arterial injury admitted in our department over the past 30 years (about 50% of them happened during the last 10 years) were analyzed retrospectively in this article. The popliteal, femoral and brachial arteries were mainly involved, accounting for 43.2%, 20.5% and 20.5% respectively of all the involvements. There were 35 cases of open injury and 9 of close injury. The involved vessels were transected in 43.2% of the cases and contused in 40.9%. All the patients had various complications, such as fractures, dislocations and severe soft tissue injuries. The injured vessels were repaired by means of end-to-end anastomosis in 10 cases, autogenous vein graft in 23 cases and intraluminal hydraulic dilatation in 4 cases.
RESULTSSuccessful limb salvage was achieved in 34 cases initially, whereas 10 amputations were carried out due to injuries to popliteal arteries in 7, femoral arteries in 2 and humeral artery in 1 and severe soft tissue damages in 9 cases. Twenty-nine patients were followed up for 1-156 months, with the average of 48.8 months. There was good circulation in 22 cases and certain ischemia in 5 cases. Two amputations were carried out in the late stage because of popliteal artery thrombosis after repair in 2 cases. There was no death in this series.
CONCLUSIONSThe limb arterial injuries caused by traffic accidents are severe and complicated. It is proposed that particular attentions should be paid to the features in diagnosis and treatment for this type of injury and special efforts should be made for both life saving and limb salvage.
