ABSTRACT
Background and Objectives: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is strongly associated with symptomatic cerebral vasospasm. This study aims to investigate whether a quantitative measure of aneurysmal subarachnoid hematoma by 3D Slicer is more valuable for vasospasm risk prediction compared with modified Fisher scale and the new scale by Eagles. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective research of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine format (DICOM) in aneurysmal patients treated at our institution from 2019 to 2020. Association between vasospasm and hematoma volume by 3D Slicer was explored by univariate and multivariate analyses. Value of risk prediction was compared through area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) among the modified Fisher scale, the new scale by Eagles, and hematoma volume by 3D Slicer. Results: Hematoma volume by 3D Slicer had a significant relationship with vasospasm both by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA; F = 19.37, P < 0.001) and a binary logistic regression analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.05, P = 0.016). Hematoma volume by 3D Slicer had a significantly higher AUC (0.708; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.618-0.798, P < 0.001) than the modified Fisher scale and the new scale by Eagles. The optimal diagnostic threshold for hematoma volume by 3D Slicer was 15.98 ml, and the sensitivity and specificity were 73.5% and 58.6%, respectively. Conclusions: Volume of aneurysmal subarachnoid hematoma measured quantitatively by 3D Slicer can improve the predictive value for symptomatic cerebral vasospasm.

Migraine is a kind of nerve vascular disease, characterized by hemialgia, moderate and severe, pulsating pain. Acupuncture as a safe and effective analgesic therapy, has been widely used in more than 160 countries and regions around the globe. Treating migraine with acupuncture has certain good features as effective, non-toxic side effects and untoward effect.But its mechanism is still not very clear.The cerebral blood flow study ( CBF study) is currently the most credibility of migraine pathogenesis theory.Now based on the theory of CBF study, this paper discusses the acupuncture treatment of migraine which can provide the basis for clinical treats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate effect of comprehensive health intervention on serum lipids in obese children.Methods Totally 67 obese children (obesity group) who were treated in Baoan People's Hospital re-ceived one-year comprehensive health interventions. Another 65 normal-body-weighted children were recruited as control group.The changes of body height,weight,BMI,blood pressure (BP),and serum lipids were recorded before and after interventions.Results Compared with the control group,the weight,BMI,BP,TG,and LDL-C in the obesity group significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The BMI,BP,and TG in the obesity group were significantly improved after intervention (P<0.05 or P<0.01).HDL-C was significantly higher than the pre-intervention level (P<0.05),while was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<O.05).Con-clusion Comprehensive health intervention can remarkably decrease the body weight and BMI and improve serum lipids in obese children,and therefore plays an important role in modifying the metabolism disorders.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the effect of enteral and parenteral nutrition on critically ill patients. Methods: 48 patients with critically ill in ICU were randomly divided into EN group and PN group.The nutritional index and the complication were compared between groups. Results: The levels of Hb,TP and ALB were significantly increased after EN,and the rates of complications in PN group were higher in PN group than that in EN group. Conclusion: Compared to parenteral nutritional support,enteral nutritional support can improve the nutritional condition and have less complications in critically ill patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the treatment effect of rational enteral nutrition in hyperglycemia after severe brain injury.Methods: 60 patients were randomly divided into control group and study group.The control group was given homogenized diet and the study group was given low carbohydrate formula.Blood glucose,ALB,K+,Na+,Cl-,TG,TC were measured before and after therapy.Results: After the nutrition treatment,patients biochemical indices of fasting blood-glucose,blood sugar 2 hours after meal in study group were significantly lower than control group(P
