Children with infantile spasms showed significant mental retardation, severely abnormal electroencephalogram recordings, and bilateral diffuse cerebral cortex hypometabolism with I^F-FDG PET imaging. MRI in these cases showed brain atrophy, multi-micropolygyria, macrogyria, and porencephalia. In cases with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, 18F-FDG PET showed bilateral diffuse glucose hypometabolism, while MRI showed cortical atrophy, heterotopic gray matter and tuberous sclerosis. MRI in cases with myoclonic encephalopathy demonstrated bilateral frontal and temporal cortical and white matter atrophy and 18F-FDG PET imaging showed bilateral frontal lobe atrophy with reduced bilateral frontal cortex, occipital cortex, temporal cortex and cerebellar glucose uptake. In children who could not be clearly classified, MRI demonstrated cerebral cortical atrophy and ~aF-FDG PET exhibited multifocal glucose hypometabolism. Overall, this study demonstrated that the degree of brain metabolic abnormality was consistent with clinical seizure severity. In addition, ~SF-FDG PET imaging after treatment was consistent with clinical outcomes. These findings indicate that ~SF-FDG PET can be used to assess the severity of brain injury and prognosis in children with epileptic encephalopathy.展开更多

It is of monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 6.3882(7), b = 9.9033(11), c = 15.4925(17) , β = 91.923(2)°, V = 979.57(19) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.232 mg/m3, μ = 0.088 mm-1, F(000)= 392, R = 0.0465, wR = 0.0989 and λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 . The structure indicates that the four cycles (A: C(1)–C(2)–C(3)–N(1)–C(5)–C(10), B: C(5)–C(6)–C(7)– C(8)–C(9)–C(10), C: C(8)–C(14)–C(13)–C(12)–C(11)–C(9), D: C(14)–C(15)–C(16)–C(17)–C(13)) are in chairand trans-configurations. The results of crystal structure determination show that there exist weak intra-molecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in a two-dimensional supramolecular frame-work of the title compound.展开更多

It crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c. The complex has a interpenetrating 2D structure with hydrogen-bonded grid networks. Carboxylic acid to melamine proton transfer occurs in the complex. The adjacent HMA^+ cations related by an inverse center form cationic [HMA^+]∞ ribbons via a pair of N-H…N hydrogen bonds. Adjacent FB-anions are paired by C-H…F hydrogen bonds to form dimers, which are connected to [HMA^+]∞ ribbons through N-H…O interactions. The supramolecular features in the complex are guided by control of strong N-H…N, N-H…O and O-H…O hydrogen bonds, as well as highly directional weak C-H…F interactions and aromatic π-π stacking interactions.展开更多

The spinal cord was cut into serial frozen sections. The Fluoro-ruby labeling was clearly delineated from the surrounding structure. The labeling traversed the cervical, thoracic and lumbar segments, and was located on the ventral portion of the posterior funiculus on the injected side, proximal to the intermediate zone of the dorsal gray matter. The fluorescence area narrowed rostro-caudally. The spinal cord, spinal cord gray matter and corticospinal tract were reconstructed using 3D-DOCTOR 4.0 software, resulting in a robust three-dimensional profile. Using functionality provided by the reconstruction software, free multi-angle observation and sectioning could be conducted on the spinal cord and corticospinal tract. Our experimental findings indicate that the Fluoro-ruby retrograde fluorescent tracing technique can accurately display the anatomical location of corticospinal tract in the guinea pig and that three-dimensional reconstruction software can be used to provide a three-dimensional image of the corticospinal tract.展开更多
