液体衰减翻转恢复序列在颅脑MRI中的应用

目的：探讨１．５ＴＭＲ颅脑液体衰减翻转恢复（ＦＬＡＩＲ）序列的合理扫描参数及其临床应用价值。材料和方法：首先对１８名健康志愿者行１．５ＴＭＲ的颅脑ＦＬＡＩＲ序列的参数选择试验，然后用筛选出的合理参数对２４例脑部疾病患者行ＦＬＡＩＲ序列与ＳＥ序列的对照扫描。结果：在１．５ＴＭＲ颅脑ＦＬＡＩＲ扫描中，当ＴＲ＝６０００ｍｓ时，ＴＩ为１７００－１８００ｍｓ接近脑脊液的无效值，ＴＥ以１６０ｍｓ为宜。ＦＬＡＩＲ序列与ＳＥ序列的对照扫描中，ＦＬＡＩＲ序列显示病变为７５／７６（９８．６８％），ＳＥ序列为６５／７６（８５．５３％），两者显示病变的敏感度有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结论：ＦＬＡＩＲ序列对靠近脑脊液的病变、脑组织水肿、室管膜下漏液、脑室和脑池内病变的检出较ＳＥ序列更敏感。     

Neurodynamic Studies on Emotional and Inverted Faces in an Oddball Paradigm

The detection of a change in a face stimulus was studied in an oddball paradigm. Event-related potentials (ERPs) and MEG responses to face stimuli were recorded in four conditions: 1) happy standard, neutral deviant; 2) neutral standard, neutral deviant; 3) inverted happy standard, inverted neutral deviant; 4) inverted neutral standard, inverted neutral deviant. In all conditions, the target was a face with glasses. Neutral deviants elicited a negative deflection (with a maximum around 280 ms) in ERP and MEG responses, an effect similar to auditory mismatch negativity. Face inversion diminished deviance-related negativity, implying an important role of face recognition in the observed effect. Emotional content and larger physical differences between stimuli in conditions 1 and 3 compared to conditions 2 and 4 did not show statistically significant effect on the neutral-deviant-related negativity.     

Subchondroplasty in the treatment of bone Marrow lesion in early Knee Osteoarthritis: A systematic review of clinical and radiological outcomes

BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is increasingly prevalent in North American society. The significant societal burden it represents makes it essential to promote and target new treatments in earlier phases of the disease. Among others, subchondroplasty is a newly documented technique using calcium phosphate injection targeting the osteochondral lesions preceding KOA, also known as Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs). This article aimed to review the existing literature on clinical and radiological outcomes of subchondroplasty in the treatment of BMLs in KOA.MethodA systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Studies on calcium phosphate injections into BMLs for KOA and its clinical and radiological outcomes were screened and reviewed by independent evaluators.ResultsAfter screening, ten articles were included, totaling 540 patients. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 7 years. Overall, the procedure showed significant functional and quality of life improvement, as well as pain relief, as shown by Patients-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). There were very few complications reported, the most important being leakage of calcium phosphate outside the targeted site. Conversion rate to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) ranged from 14 % to 30 % at 2 years post-procedure. Long term radiological outcomes have been poorly documented.ConclusionsSubchondroplasty is a promising avenue for the treatment of KOA. However, quality evidence is still required before any real conclusions and practical management guidelines can be drawn. Prospective, randomized studies with a control group and a rigorous assessment of long-term clinical and radiological outcomes are recommended.     

Effects of a diet rich in Q-3 fatty acids on left ventricular geometry and dynamics in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Summary The aim of the present study was to investigate the chronic effects of a dietetic antihypertensive treatment on blood pressure, ventricular dynamics and geometry of the pressure loaded heart. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) received a standard diet enriched with 10% mackerel oil, containing 30% polyunsaturated Q-3 fatty acids, over a period of 70 days. As described previously the diet reduced blood pressure permanently by 40-50 mm Hg. Despite this reduction, the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy was only slightly (statistically insignificantly) reduced. This was probably a result of an increase in sympathetic tone as indicated by a raised pulse rate. On the other hand, the treatment prevented the development of eccentric hypertrophy, typical to the SHR, without changing the elastic material properties of the myocardium. Since the age-matched controls did not show significant degenerative alterations, protective effects at the level of myocardial tissue could not be demonstrated. Furthermore, future investigations need to investigate why myocardial contractility of the treated animals diminishes as observed in this study.

Short rib-polydactyly syndrome and pericentric inversion of chromosome 4

We report on a newborn infant with clinical and radiological manifestations of some type of short rib-polydactyly syndrome who died soon after birth. Chromosomal studies on peripheral blood lymphocytes and chondrocytes demonstrated an apparently balanced pericentric inversion of chromosome 4 (present in the mother also). This association may have occurred by chance but, if not, the chromosomal breakpoints could interrupt the gene responsible for short rib-polydactyly syndromes, or else be related to the mechanism of short rib-polydactyly syndromes. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Recombination aneusomy of chromosome 5 associated with multiple severe congenital malformations

A male infant is described in whom congenital anomalies were recognized prenatally by ultrasound examination. The infant was delivered following spontaneous labor and died approximately 15 min after birth. An autopsy revealed major anomalies in the central nervous system (holoprosencephaly with premaxillary agenesis), the gastrointestinal system (esophageal atresia) and the heart (tetralogy of Fallot). Chromosomal studies revealed recombinant chromosome 5 [46,XY, rec(5), dup q, inv(5)(p15q32)], resulting in partial trisomy 5q and partial monosomy 5p. Cytogenetic investigation of the family revealed a pericentric inversion of chromosome 5 in the father and paternal grandmother, 46,XY (and XX, respectively,) inv(5)(p15q32). The congenital anomalies in this infant are more extensive and severe than previously reported in cases of recombination aneusomy involving chromosome 5.     

Klinefelter's syndrome with a 47, XXY, inv (12) (q15q24) karyotype

A case of Klinefelter's Syndrome with a paracentric inversion in chromosome 12 is described. The karyotype was determined to be 47, XXY, inv(12)(q15q24) and the significance of the breakpoints on chromosome 12 is discussed.     

Pericentric inversions of chromosome 4: report of a new family and review of the literature

A family was cytogenetically studied because of the birth of a male child with a multiple congenital anomaly pattern, in whom a dup (4q) recombinant was found. His phenotypically normal mother's karyotype showed an apparently balanced pericentric inversion in a chromosome 4. So as to analyze the occurrence of recombinants, the cytogenetic data from this family are compared with those of the 18 previously reported familial cases of pericentric inversions (PIs) of chromosome 4. The congenital anomalies observed in the child strongly suggest Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome but some of his clinical features seem to be pathogenetically related to the presence of lymphedema during the intrauterine period. In the multiple congenital anomaly pattern observed in this patient, the lymphedema could be the consequence of the large 4q duplication. The review of chromosome 4 PIs with 4q duplication suggests that the q3 region should be examined when edema is detected prenatally.
