Mobile phone dependence and gray matter volume in college freshmen / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#This study aimed to investigate the correlation between brain gray matter volume(GMV) and MPD based on voxel-based morphometry(VBM) method.@*Methods@#By using principle of random sampling method, 566 students were recruited from 5 different majors in a certain university. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect the general situation and MPD. Moreover, 266 students were obtained high-resolution 3-dimensional T1 structure images by 3.0 T MRI based on voluntary principle. A multiple regression model with VBM8 was performed to detect GMV associated with MPD scores.@*Results@#Among the 266 participants, 81 students(30.5%) reported MPD. There were no statistical differences of MPD scores between different characteristics, such as gender, residential area, sibling and perceived family income, as well as academic performance(t/F=-1.04,0.40,-1.30,0.23,1.48,P>0.05). An inverse correlation was found between GMV of the anterior cingulate gyrus(ACC) and right fusiform gyrus(FFG) with MPD scores(FDR corrected, P<0.05), and no positive associations were found.@*Conclusion@#College students with higher severity of MPD have lower GMV of ACC and right FFG, and these results suggested that MPD was correlated with brain reward, executive control and emotional related GMV.

Application of Hippocampal Subfield Magnetic Resonance Imaging T2 Signal Intensity for Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Objective To apply the MRI T2 signal intensity of hippocampal subfield in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) as early imageology. Methods From October, 2014 to August, 2015, 20 aMCI patients accepted cognitive training (training group), 20 aMCI patients accepted speech communication (speech group), and 20 age-and gender-matched healthy old people (control group) were scanned with MRI using FSE-T2 sequence. The margin of hippocampal subfields were outlined manually for each side to measure the T2 sig-nal intensity. The correlation between hippocampal T2 signal intensity and the scores of Mini-Mental State Examinatlon (MMSE) was ana-lyzed in the training group. Results Before treatment, T2 signal intensity in the bilateral hippocampal head was significantly high in the aM-CI patients compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, T2 signal intensity in left hippocampal head decreased in the training group compared with that in the speech group (P<0.05), similar to the control group (P>0.05). There was negative correlation be-tween left hippocampal head's T2 signal intensity and the scores of MMSE in the training group before and after treatment (r=-0.61, r=-0.54, P<0.05). Conclusion The T2 signal intensity in left hippocampal head may respond to the cognitive function in patients with aMCI in the early stage, that could be used for diagnosis and evaluation in clinic.

Tibial intramedullary nail and locking compression plate repair open tibial fractures by stages:biomechanical characteristics / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Intramedul ary nail fixation has more advantages in open fractures compared with the locking compression plate, such as the dual functions of lock and compression, highly protecting the blood supply in fracture end, less tissue trauma, firm elastic fixation and low infection rate. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy and biomechanical properties of tibial intramedul ary nail and locking compression plate in treatment of open tibial fractures by stages. METHODS:Total y 100 patients with open tibial fractures who received treatment at the Department of Orthopedics, Jiaozhou Central Hospital of Qingdao Affiliated to Weifang Medical Col ege from January 2012 to January 2014 were enrol ed. Patients were divided into tibial intramedul ary nail group (n=57) and locking compression plate group (n=43) according to the surgical procedures using randomized control ed method. Ten corpses models of open tibial fractures provided by Jiaozhou Central Hospital of Qingdao Affiliated to Weifang Medical Col ege were selected, and then randomly divided into 2 groups. Three-point bending test, axial compression test and torsional strength test were conducted after the fixation with tibial intramedul ary nail and locking compression plate. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The operative time and per-operative blood loss of patients in the tibial intramedul ary nail group was significantly less than those in the locking compression plate group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in wound infection, fixtures loosening, not healing and other complications after fixation between these two groups. There were no incision infection in these two groups. The specimens bending test offset, axial compression experiments offset and torsion test torsion angle in tibial intramedul ary nail group were significantly less than those in the locking compression plate group (P<0.05). These results demonstrate that tibial intramedul ary nail and locking compression plate for treatment of open tibial fractures by stages can achieve the desired therapeutic effect, however, the biomechanics of tibial intramedul ary nail is more stable, and more in line with the biomechanical properties of human body, with the advantages of firm fixation, doing exercises in early stage and smal stress shielding. Choosing the appropriate materials according to patient’s symptoms and fracture location during treatment can improve the curative effect.
