Molecular imaging is a developing research field and it has become a research hotspot.It integrates molecular biochemistry, data processing, nanotechnology, image processing and other technologies and has high specificity, high sensitivity, and high image resolution.It can provide qualitative, positioning, and quantitative data for clinical diagnosis.Clinically, 30% of epileptic patients develop into intractable epilepsy, but magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) can not detect structural lesions.These patients need accurate positioning in order to improve the effectiveness of epilepsy surgery.Because the current preoperative positioning methods have certain limitations, some epileptic patients still have recurrent seizures after the operation.Therefore, researchers continue to explore targeted tracers with high specificity and strong sensitivity.Various nanotechnology and functional magnetic resonance imaging methods are used to study the accurate localization methods of epilepsy.This paper summarized and analyzed the latest research of molecular imaging technology in China and abroad, such as the latest research of single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) and positron emission tomography(PET) molecular imaging, the application of various nanotechnology combined with functional magnetic resonance in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, and various targeted tracers that haven been developed at present.The results suggest that the continuous improvement of quantitative image analysis, the integration of multi-mode imaging, the development of PET radioactive tracers, and the combination of nanotechnology and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) will facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of epilepsy.It is promising to realize the accurate diagnosis and treatment of intractable epilepsy.

Objective To translate the English version of the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire (SSEQ) into Chinese,and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of SSEQ.Methods The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of SSEQ were tested among 300 stroke patients in Jinzhou city.Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software and AMOS 17.0 software.Results The Cronbach's α was 0.972,the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.806,the correlations between items and total scale ranged from 0.729 to 0.831 (P<0.01).A two-factor model was got by exploratory factor analysis,the communalities of the items was 0.672 to 0.929,and the cunulative explained variance was 82.687 percent.The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good model fit,and the fit indices were x2/df =1.740,GFI =0.918,AGFI =0.853,RMSEA =0.070,NFI =0.965,CFI =0.985,standardized regression weights was 0.701 to 0.984.Conclusion The Chinese version of the SSEQ is proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used to assess the self-efficacy of stroke patients in china.

Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT).Methods The English version of OKAT was introduced and the Chinese version was confirmed by translation,revision,retroversion and expert discussion.A sample of 400 community-living aged people were recruited to complete the OKAT (Chinese version).Internal consistency test,split-half reliability,correlation analysis,items analysis,content validity,exploratory factor analysis,confirmatory factor analysis and ROC curve were used for examination.Results The Cronbach's α of the total scale was 0.821.The split half reliability coefficient was 0.934,test-retest reliability was 0.866,inter rater reliability coefficient was 0.786,the correlations between items and total scale ranged from 0.163 to 0.542.A two-factor model containing 20 items was got by exploratory factor analysis,the cumulative contribution rate of the items was 75.528 percent.The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good model fit.Conclusions The Chinese version of the OKAT in the elderly is proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used to assess osteoporosis for the aged people in China.

Objective To evaluate the effect of abdominal fat ratio (AFR,abdominal fat volume to total abdominal volume)at the umbilical level on hepatic CT enhancement in humans.Methods We analyzed data in 87 patients (40 women and 47 men)by Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis to assess the association of patient age and AFR with adjusted maximal hepatic enhancement (aMHE,maximal hepatic enhancement divided by the dose of iodine divided by body weight)by sex.Results aMHE was positively correlated with AFR for both men and women (r=0.48 and 0.46,respectively,both P <0.01)but not patient age.Conclusion Pa-tients with more abdominal fat seem to require relatively less amount of contrast media to get the CT enhanced degree of liver similar to those with less fat.
