Objective To explore the feasibility of harmonic waves analysis for observing morphological brain network changes in patients with depressive disorder(DD).Methods Whole brain 3D high resolution T1WI of 55 DD patients(DD group)and 46 normal controls(NC group)were acquired.Six kinds of morphological features brain network were constructed with FreeSurfer tool,including the number of brain region vertices,surface area,gray matter volume,average cortical thickness,Gaussian curvature and fold index.Laplace operator was applied to obtain common harmonic wave.The harmonic power of different morphological features and the gray matter volume in different brain regions were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of total harmonic energy was found between groups.The specific harmonic wave energies were significantly different between groups,including the number of brain region vertices corresponding to the 2nd,6th,15th,44th and 57th harmonic waves,surface area corresponding to the 2nd,6th,16th and 57th harmonic waves,gray matter volume corresponding to the 2nd,12th,13th,15th and 57th harmonic waves,average cortical thickness corresponding to the 2nd,19th,35th,36th and 44th harmonic waves,Gaussian curvature corresponding to the 34th,40th,54th and 57th harmonic waves,as well as fold index corresponding to the 5th,16th,21st and 57th harmonic waves.Gray matter volumes of transverse temporal gyrus in left hemisphere in DD group were significantly larger than that in NC group(t=2.900,P=0.004).Conclusion Harmonic waves analysis was feasible for observing morphological brain network changes in DD patients.

Coagulation disorder or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a clinicopathological syndrome, in which the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis is the main pathogenesis, and systemic microthrombosis and systemic bleeding tendency are the main clinical manifestations. The clinical outcome is often the induction of systemic multiple organ dysfunction. As a common complication of sepsis, DIC significantly increases the mortality of septic patients. The coagulation disorder in sepsis is closely related to the inflammatory response of the body. Studying the mechanism of sepsis-related coagulation disorder will provide new possibilities for its early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. This article reviews the latest research progress on the molecular mechanism of sepsis-related coagulation disorders in immunity and inflammation, in order to provide new possibilities for potential therapeutic targets.

Objective To analyze and evaluate changes of the brain gray matter in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods 46 patients with PD and 19 normal control(NC) subjects(matched to the patients in age and gender) were selected in this study.46 cases of PD were divided into early PD group(ePD,25 cases) and middle-advanced PD group(maPD,21 cases) by improved Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y) stages.All the subjects underwent 3.0T MR scanning,and data of high resolution T1-weighted imageing (T1WI) were acquired.Gray matter volume differences between PD group and NC group,or ePD group and maPD group were assessed by voxel-based morphometry (VBM) combined diffeomorphic anatomical registration through exponentiated lie (DARTEL) method.Results The gray matter volume of the bilateral frontal lobes, temporal lobes, insular lobes, cingulum gyrus, hippocampus, fusiform gyrus, cerebellum and right cuneus lobe and precuneus lobe in the PD group was smaller than that in the NC group.The gray matter volume of the bilateral frontal lobes, temporal lobes,insular lobes,cingulum gyrus,rectus gyrus,lingualis gyrus,fusiform gyrus,hippocampus,amygdaloid and cerebellum in the maPD group was smaller than that in the ePD group.Conclusion VBM reveals a widespread volume reduction of the gray matter in PD patients,and detectes a correlation with disease duration and severity.These changes located in special distribution may be in line with the pathology of PD.
