RÉSUMÉ
The glymphatic system, as "waste" clearance pathway in the brain, plays a critical role in maintaining the homeostasis of the brain cell microenvironment. It has been found that changes in the glymphatic system are common in many neurological diseases. MRI is currently the only technology that can achieve human glymphatic imaging, and has the advantages of high soft tissue resolution and sensitivity to tracers. Quantitative MRI can objectively evaluate the changes of inflow and outflow of glymphatic system. Therefore, in this review, we introduce the application of quantitative MRI technology in the glymphatic system in detail, aiming to provide help for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to glymphatic system.

Objective@#To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of autologous fat concentrate combined with split-thickness skin grafts in the repair of venous ulcer.@*Methods@#From January 2015 to December 2018, a total of 16 patients diagnosed with venous ulcer were admitted to our department, and all patients received symptomatic and supportive treatment such as local debridement and dressing change. After the granulation tissue grew well, all patients received autologous adipose concentrate combined with spilit-thickness skin graft for repair.@*Results@#All the grafted skin survived well, and the survival rate of grafted skin at 2 weeks after surgery was 86% to 99%. All patients were followed up to 6 months after surgery. The wounds of all patients were healed during the follow-up period. One patient suffered local ulcer recurrence due to repeated friction after healing and the ulcer recovered after dressing changing treatment. All the other patients had no recurrence during the follow-up period. The scar hyperplasia in the skin transplantation area was not obvious and the healing quality was good. No significant surgical complications occurred.@*Conclusions@#Autologous lipoconcentrate combined with split-thickness skin grafts is an effective and safe method in the repair of venous ulcer, and the application of autologous lipoconcentrate can effectively improve the survival rate and healing quality of skin grafts.

Objective To evaluate the safety of modified sputum induction in moderate to very severe COPD during exacerbation. Methods Ninety patients with moderate, severe or very severe COPD during exacerbation (27 with type Ⅰ and Ⅱ respiratory failure,18 with coronary heart disease, 38 with tachycardia) were chosen as research subjects. All the patients underwent induced sputum. During induction , all patients were given electrocardiographic monitoring and pulmonary function check every 5 minutes and FEV1, HR, SpO2 in the process of testing were recorded. Results Ninety patients underwent 224 sputum inductions progress, 222 were safety. Qualified sputum samples were collected for 216 times, sputum induction was successful in 96.43% of occasions. Heart rate rising and SpO2 reducing during sputum induction mainly occurred in the beginning 5 minutes, FEV1 did not change in the whole process. Conclusion Modified sputum induction can be safe through closely monitoring in patients with moderate-to-very severe COPD with exacerbation, even with type Ⅰ or typeⅡ respiratory failure. But the risk of sputum induction will increase if patients with coronary heart disease and tachyarrhythmia, especially within beginning 5 minutes of sputum induction.

Objective To study the concurrence of congenital ptosis and hypospadias and the relationship between the two. Methods The incidence rate and degree of ptosis were recorded for 254 cases of hypospadias. Results The morbidity of ptosis in hypospadias cases was 4.72％.The posterior hypospadias group had a higher ptosis rate than the anterior and middle hypospadias groups,P ＜ 0.05. While there was no statistical difference of severe ptosis morbidity rates between these two groups. Conclusions Congenital ptosis is a common concurrent anomaly of hypospadias outside the urogenital system.The severity of hypospadias is relevant with the morbidity of ptosis but not with the degree of ptosis.Hypospadias and ptosis may share common pathogenic or susceptive factors.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the type of hypospadias and external genital system malformations. Methods From Jan 2000 to Oct 2009, the data of 632 patients diagnosed with hypospadias was analyzed retrospectively. The proportion of all types of hypospadias and the frequency of external genital system malformations were statistically analyzed. Results Among all cases, 12.6% exhibited mild hypospadias, 22. 8% moderate, 43. 2% severe and 21.4% had extremely severe hypospadias. One hundred and eighty-four cases with external genital system malformations were classified into penoscrotal transposition, cryptorchidism, hydrocele of tunica vaginalis,concealed penis and pseudovagina. The probability was about 24.8% (157 cases) of 632 patients with hypospadias. There was significant difference and a positive correlation among the type of hypospadias with total malformations, penoscrotal transposition, cryptorchidism. Conclusions In this patient cohort, moderate and severe hypospadias accounted for the majority of hypospadias. Penoscrotal transposition was the most frequent external genital system malformation in hypospadias, followed by cryptorchidism and hydrocele of tunics vaginalis. More severe hypospadias is accompanied with a higher probability of the external genital system malformations, penoscrotal transposition and cryptorchidism.
