RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To explore the changes of brain white matter of the patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)with magnetic resonance diffusional kurtosis imaing(DKI).METHODS There were 38 patients with OSAHS examined by polysomnogram(PSG)from November 2017 to June 2021,and 32 non-OSAHS controls matched in gender and age who were included in this study.All the subjects were scanned by DKI.The different encephalic regions through comparing kurtosis fractional anisotropy(KFA)values of all encephalic regions between the two groups were found,and the relationship between the KFA values of the different encephalic regions in OSAHS patients and the apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),lowest saturation oxygen(LSaO2)and the percent of the total record time spent below 90%oxygen saturation(TS90%)in PSG were analyzed.RESULTS The KFA values of white matter fiber tracts in corpus callosum,bilateral corona radiata,cingulate gyrus,right superior cerebellar peduncle and inferior cerebellar peduncle of OSAHS group were obviously lower than control group(P<0.05).After controlling for age and body mass index(BMI),the partial correlation between AHI and the KFA values of corpus callosum,left posterior corona radiata,right anterior corona radiata,cingulate gyrus in OSAHS group were also negative(r=-0.344,-0.380,-0.406,-0.53,P<0.05).The partial correlation between LSaO2 and the KFA values of corpus callosum,left posterior corona radiata,right anterior corona radiata,cingulate gyrus,right superior cerebellar peduncle in OSAHS group were also positive(r=0.366,0.406,0.446,0.404,0.342,P<0.05).The partial correlation between TS90%and the KFA values of corpus callosum,left posterior corona radiata,right anterior corona radiata,cingulate gyrus,right superior cerebellar peduncle and inferior cerebellar peduncle in OSAHS group were also negative(r=-0.414,-0.352,-0.355,-0.336,-0.456,-0.360,P<0.05).CONCLUSION Recurrent apnea and hypoxemia at night of OSAHS patients can cause damage to white matter fibers in parts of encephalic regions.
RESUMO
Purpose To analyze the CT and MRI findings as well as follow-up changes of infantile hepatic hemangio-endothelioma (IHE),so as to provide basis for guiding the clinical establishment of therapeutic protocols.Materials and Methods The clinical data of 21 infants with IHE were analyzed retrospectively,including the imageological manifestations in initial diagnosis and during follow-up.Among the infants,3 received non-enhanced and enhanced scan of both CT and MRI,13 received non-enhanced and enhanced scan of CT only,while 5 received non-enhanced and enhanced scan of MRI only.All infants received ultrasonic examination.Results In non-enhanced CT scan,the tumor was marked by multiple or single intrahepatic low-density nidus with clear boundary,while non-enhanced MRI showed low T1WI signal and high T2WI signal.Enhanced scan of single IHE in arterial phase indicated notable nodular,streak-like and annular enhancement of the edge,while that in delayed period suggested a characteristic of progressive enhancement of tumor from periphery to center.There was not enhancement in necrotic zone in the center of large nidi all the time,while streak-like calcification nidi were found in partial nidi.Obvious whole-tumor enhancement was found in most nodes in the multiple nodular IHE,while moderate enhancement in partial nodes.The enhancement in each enhanced period decreased gradually,and most nidi in delayed period showed slightly high-density or isopycnic shadow.3 infants were misdiagnosed with hepatoblastoma and received surgical resection,but none had recurrence during postoperative ultrasonic follow-up.The rest infants were treated with oral administration of Propranolol and then followed up,and the follow-up results showed that most nidi shrunk to different extent while partial nidi disappeared completely.Conclusion IHE is marked by multiple nidi or single nidus,and the characteristic manifestations of CT and MRI are beneficial to promoting the accuracy rate of diagnosis of IHE.Tumor may shrink spontaneously or disappear if Propranolol is orally administered in treatment of IHE.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation on the expression of CD34 and vascular endotheli-al growth factor (VEGF) in rats with acute myocardial infarction. Methods 32 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham opera-tion group (A, n=8), model group (B, n=8), Xuesaitong Injection + granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) group (C, n=8) and G-CSF group (D, n=8). Corresponding medicine was given to each group 3 hours after modeling, for 6 days. Pathomorphological changes were observed through HE staining, and the expression of CD34, VEGF and Ki-67 were observed through immunohistochemical staining. Re-sults The expressions of CD34, VEGF and Ki-67 were higher in groups B, C and D than in group A (P0.05). Conclusion The expression of CD34 and VEGF in-creases with Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation method, which is superior to using G-CSF only. Activating Blood to Resolve Stagna-tion may play an important role in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

Results The expressions of CD34, VEGF and Ki-67 were higher in groups B, C and D than in group A (P<0.05), and were higher in group groups C and D than in group B (P<0.05). The expressions of CD34 and VEGF were higher in group C than in group D (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the expression of Ki-67 between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The expression of CD34 and VEGF increases with Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation method, which is superior to using G-CSF only. Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation may play an important role in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
