Predictors of short-term outcome in patients with acute middle cerebral artery occlusion: unsuitability of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity scores

Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery （FLAIR） vascular hyperintensity （FVH） is used to assess leptomeningeal collateral circulation, but clinical outcomes of patients with FVH can be very different. The aim of the present study was to assess a FVH score and explore its relationship with clinical outcomes. Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to middle cerebral artery M1 occlusion underwent magnetic resonance imaging and were followed up at 10 days （National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale） and 90 days （modified Rankin Scale） to determine short-term clinical outcomes. Effective collateral circulation indirectly improved recovery of neurological function and short-term clinical outcome by extending the size of the pial penumbra and reducing infarct lesions. FVH score showed no correlation with 90-day functional clinical outcome and was not sufficient as an independent predictor of short-term clinical outcome.

Early Diagnosis of Recurrent Optic Neuritis Using Contrast-Enhanced T2 Fluid-attenuated Inversion Recovery Imaging：a Case Report

The diagnosis of the recurrent optic neuritis is commonly established clinically,and sometimes it could be challenging because the involved optic nerve does not always show significant enhancement on conventional contrast enhanced-T1 weighted imaging（CE-T1W1）.In this paper,we reported a middle-aged female with early diagnosis of recurrent optic neuritis using contrast-enhanced T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging（CET2FLAIR）.The involved optic nerve presented evident enhancement on CE-T2FLAIR and no enhancement on CE-T1W1.This case suggested that the CE-T2FLAIR may be a useful diagnostic tool specifically for the recurrent optic neuritis in clinical practice.

Diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease:One-case report

The diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease （sCJD） is extremely difficult. Diffusion-weighted imaging has been shown to be the most sensitive technique for the detection of signal alterations in sCJD patients. The present study analyzed the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence in the early stage of sCJD in one female patient and correlated the clinical symptoms during disease course and magnetic resonance manifestations. Thalamic and basal ganglia hyperintensities were observed on magnetic resonance images in a very early stage, i.e., when the clinical typical manifestations of the disease were not present. With the progression of the disease, cortical and basal ganglia hyperintensities were observed on magnetic resonance images, showing an obvious cerebral atrophy. These findings suggest that diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence are helpful in diagnosing sCJD.

Three-dimensional gravity inversion based on sparse recovery iteration using approximate zero norm

This research proposes a novel three-dimensional gravity inversion based on sparse recovery in compress sensing. Zero norm is selected as the objective function, which is then iteratively solved by the approximate zero norm solution. The inversion approach mainly employs forward modeling; a depth weight function is introduced into the objective function of the zero norms. Sparse inversion results are obtained by the corresponding optimal mathematical method. To achieve the practical geophysical and geological significance of the results, penalty function is applied to constrain the density values. Results obtained by proposed provide clear boundary depth and density contrast distribution information. The method's accuracy, validity, and reliability are verified by comparing its results with those of synthetic models. To further explain its reliability, a practical gravity data is obtained for a region in Texas, USA is applied. Inversion results for this region are compared with those of previous studies, including a research of logging data in the same area. The depth of salt dome obtained by the inversion method is 4.2 km, which is in good agreement with the 4.4 km value from the logging data. From this, the practicality of the inversion method is also validated.

Optimized cardiac magnetic resonance imaging inversion recovery sequence for metal artifact reduction and accurate myocardial scar assessment in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices

Late gadolinium enhancement(LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance(CMR) is the gold standard for imaging myocardial viability.An important application of LGE CMR is the assessment of the location and extent of the myocardial scar in patients with ventricular tachycardia(VT), which allows for more accurate identification of the ablation targets.However, a large percentage of patients with VT have cardiac implantable electronic devices(CIEDs), which is a relative contraindication for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging due to safety and image artifact concerns.Previous studies showed that these patients can be safely scanned on 1.5 T scanners provided that an adequate imaging protocol is adopted.Nevertheless, imaging patients with a CIED result in metal artifacts due to the strong frequency off-resonance effects near the device; therefore, the spins in the surrounding myocardium are not completely inverted, and thus give rise to hyperintensity artifacts.These artifacts obscure the myocardial scar tissue and limit the ability to study the correlation between the myocardial scar structure and the electro-anatomical map during catheter ablation.In this study, we developed a modified inversion recovery technique to alleviate the CIED-induced metal artifacts and improve the diagnostic image quality of LGE images in patients with CIEDs without increasing scan time or requiring additional hardware.The developed technique was tested in phantom experiments and in vivo scans, which showed its capability for suppressing the hyperintensity artifacts without compromising myocardium nulling in the resulting LGE images.

Facile synthesis of chromium chloride/poly(methyl methacrylate) core/shell nanocapsules by inverse miniemulsion evaporation method and application as delayed crosslinker in secondary oil recovery

Cr(III)ehydrolyzed polyacrylamide(HPAM)gels have been extensively studied as a promising strategy controlling waste water production for mature oilfields.However,the gelation time of the current technologies is not long enough for in-depth placement.In this study,we report a novel synthesis method to obtain chromium chloride/poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)nanocapsules which can significantly delay the gelation of HPAM through encapsulating the chromium chloride crosslinker.The chromium chloride-loaded nanocapsules(CreNC)are prepared via a facile inverse miniemulsion evaporation method during which the hydrophobic PMMA polymers,pre-dispersed in an organic solvent,were carefully controlled to precipitate onto stable aqueous miniemulsion droplets.The stable aqueous nanodroplets(W)containing Cr(III)are dispersed in a mixture of organic solvent(O1)with PMMA and nonsolvent medium(O2)to prepare an inverse miniemulsion.With the evaporation of the O1,PMMA forms CreNCs around the aqueous droplets.The CreNCs are readily transferred into water from the organic nonsolvent phase.The CreNCs exhibit the tunable size(358-983 nm),Cr loading(7.1%-19.1%),and Cr entrapment efficiency(11.7%-80.2%),with tunable zeta potentials in different PVA solutions.The CreNCs can delay release of Cr(III)and prolong the gelation time of HPAM up to 27 days.

Delay enhancement patterns in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by phase-sensitive inversion recovery sequence

Objective:Late gadolinium enhancement(LGE) patterns of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) relying on PSIR(phase-sensitive inversion recovery sequence) techniques had been used to determine the characteristics of LGE in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(ApHCM). Methods:Forty patients pure ApHCM[age,(60.2±10.4) years,31 men]were enrolled.LGE images were acquired using PSIR,and analyzed using a 17-segment model.Summing the LGE areas in all short axis slices yielded the total volume of late enhancement,which was subsequently presented as a proportion of total LV myocardium(%LGE).Results:Mean maximal apical wall thickness was(17.9±2.3) mm,and mean left ventricular(LV) ejection fraction was(67.7±8.0)%.LGE was detected in 130 segments of 30 patients(75.0%),occupying(4.9±5.5)% of LV myocardium.LGE was mainly detected at the junction between left and right ventricles in 12(30%) and at the apex in 28(70%),although LGE-positive areas were widely distributed,and not limited to the apex.Focal LGE at the non-hypertrophic LV segments was found in some ApHCM patients,even without LGE of hypertrophied apical segments.Conclusions:LGE was frequently observed not only in the thickened apex of the heart but also in other LV segments,irrespective of the presence or absence of hypertrophy.The simple presence of LGE on CMR was not representative of adverse prognosis in this population.

增强T2 FLAIR序列在颅内肿瘤影像诊断中的研究进展

在颅内肿瘤诊疗过程中,对比增强MRI扫描是常用的影像学评估手段。临床上颅脑MRI增强检查首选T1WI序列。长期以来,增强T2液体衰减反转恢复(fluid-attenuated inversion recovery,FLAIR)被认为是评估软脑膜疾病和脑转移瘤的辅助序列。近年来,不断有研究报道增强T2 FLAIR序列在血脑屏障、血软脑膜屏障、血脑脊液屏障、血眼屏障、血迷路屏障及淋巴系统损伤相关疾病的检出、鉴别诊断方面具有一定优势。增强T2 FLAIR序列尽管在颅内肿瘤影像诊断中展现出巨大的潜力,但目前尚未广泛应用于临床,原因包括:(1)增强T2 FLAIR适用的疾病谱尚未完全阐明,(2)增强T2 FLAIR的规范扫描参数尚未确定,(3)增加MRI检查时间等。本文针对增强T2 FLAIR序列的技术特点、正常影像表现以及在颅内肿瘤影像诊断中的应用现状、最新进展进行综述,为以后进一步科研、临床应用提供参考。

Assessing the Viability of Gandhar Field in India’s Cambay Basin for CO_(2) Storage

Our research is centered on the Gandhar oil field, which was discovered in 1983, where daily oil production has declined significantly over the years. The primary objective was to evaluate the feasibility of carbon dioxide(CO_(2)) storage through its injection into the siliciclastic reservoirs of Ankleshwar Formation. We aimed to obtain high-resolution acoustic impedance data to estimate porosity employing model-based poststack seismic inversion. We conducted an analysis of the density and effective porosity in the target zone through geostatistical techniques and probabilistic neural networks. Simultaneously, the work also involved geomechanical analysis through the computation of pore pressure and fracture gradient using well-log data, geological information, and drilling events in the Gandhar field. Our investigation unveiled spatial variations in effective porosity within the Hazad Member of the Ankleshwar Formation, with an effective porosity exceeding 25% observed in several areas, which indicates the presence of well-connected pore spaces conducive to efficient CO_(2) migration. Geomechanical analysis showed that the vertical stress(Sv) ranged from 55 MPa to 57 MPa in Telwa and from 63.7 MPa to 67.7 MPa in Hazad Member. The pore pressure profile displayed variations along the stratigraphic sequence, with the shale zone, particularly in the Kanwa Formation, attaining the maximum pressure gradient(approximately 36 MPa). However, consistently low pore pressure values(30-34 MPa) considerably below the fracture gradient curves were observed in Hazad Member due to depletion. The results from our analysis provide valuable insights into shaping future field development strategies and exploration of the feasibility of CO_(2) sequestration in Gandhar Field.

目的分析磁共振弥散加权成像(MRI-DWI)在脑梗死缺血半暗带评估及复发的预测价值。方法收集我院2020年1月~2022年6月收治的62例急性脑梗死患者临床资料,所有患者均在入院后行MRI检查,并接受静脉溶栓治疗,根据入院时DWI与液体衰减反转恢复序列(FLAIR)信号是否一致分为DWI-FLAIR匹配组与DWI-FLAIR不匹配组,比较两组基础疾病、梗死病灶区表观弥散系数(ADC)等基线资料及临床结局,并对所有患者随访1年,观察1年复发率。结果DWI-FLAIR不匹配组病灶体积及溶栓前美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分均显著低于DWI-FLAIR匹配组(P<0.05),ADC值明显高于DWI-FLAIR匹配组(P<0.05)。DWI-FLAIR不匹配组溶栓1d及7d后NIHSS评分显著低于DWIFLAIR匹配组(P<0.05),溶栓30d后预后良好率高于DWI-FLAIR匹配组(P<0.05)。DWI-FLAIR不匹配组1年复发率明显低于DWI-FLAIR匹配组(3.57%vs 26.47%,P<0.05);1年复发患者初次入院时ADC值为(0.29±0.04)×10^(-3)mm^(2)/s,明显低于1年未复发患者入院时的ADC值(0.40±0.08)×10^(-3)mm^(2)/s(P<0.05),ROC曲线也显示,入院时ADC值对预测患者1年复发有统计学意义(P<0.05),其截断值为0.33×10^(-3)mm^(2)/s。结论DWI-FLAIR不匹配提示急性脑梗死患者存在缺血半暗带,静脉溶栓预后较好、复发风险较低,梗死病灶区ADC值也有利于预测患者1年复发风险。

目的:探讨液体衰减反转恢复序列(Flair)高信号血管征联合中性粒细胞计数对急性脑梗死(ACI)患者短期神经功能预后的预测价值。方法:选取96例经头颅磁共振确诊的ACI患者,入院时采用美国国立卫生院神经功能缺损评分量表(NIHSS)进行神经功能缺损评分,根据NIHSS评分将其分为轻度组(41例)、中度组(30例)和重度组(25例)。所有患者均进行磁共振检查,对Flair序列上高信号血管征进行评分,分析Flair高信号血管征、中性粒细胞计数与ACI患者短期神经功能预后的关系。患者发病6个月后,采用改变Rankin量表(mRS)评分将其分为预后良好组(81例)和预后不良组(15例)。结果:重度组患者年龄≥60岁、高血压及冠心病史的患者比例、入院时NIHSS评分、病灶直径、中性粒细胞计数均高于中度组和轻度组,而Flair高信号血管征评分低于中度组和轻度组(P均<0.05)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,年龄≥60岁、高血压及冠心病史、入院时NIHSS评分≥12分(OR=1.267,95%CI:1.140~1.409)、中性粒细胞计数升高(OR=1.719,95%CI:1.351~2.188)、Flair高信号血管征评分<4.76分(OR=2.190,95%CI:1.437~3.338)是影响ACI患者神经功能缺损的独立危险因素(P均<0.05)。预后不良组患者Flair高信号血管征评分较低,而中性粒细胞计数较高(P均<0.05)。以预后不良为因变量绘制受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线,结果显示Flair高信号血管征评分截断值为4.76分时,预测ACI患者短期神经功能预后的ROC曲线下面积为0.76(95%CI:0.745~0.826),敏感度和特异度分别为70.33%和64.33%;中性粒细胞计数截断值为5.82×10^(9)/L时,预测ACI患者短期神经功能预后的ROC曲线下面积为0.74(95%CI:0.723~0.814),敏感度和特异度分别为77.56%和63.24%;两者联合预测ACI患者短期神经功能预后的ROC曲线下面积为0.81(95%CI:0.839~0.876),敏感度和特异度分别为80.25%和63.46%。结论:Flair高信号血管征评分降低,中性粒细胞计数升高是影响ACI患者短期神经功能预后的独立危险因素,对评估患者预后具有重要参考价值。
