Objective To explore the effect of brain shift on electrode displacement during deep brain stimulation (DBS) and its related factors. Methods A total of 268 patients who underwent bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS and 31 patients who underwent bilateral internal globus pallidus (GPi) DBS, admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital from October 2018 to June 2021, were involved in this study. The lead localization was based on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), immediate postoperative and longer follow-up computed tomography (CT) . Unilateral pneumocephalus volume percent (uPVP) and brain volume percent were also evaluated. Results Advanced normalization tools (ANTs) followed by brain shift correction performed efficiently. After minimizing brain shift during STN-DBS, lead position immediately postoperation was (0. 29± 0. 47) mm medial and (0. 63±0. 55) mm posterior. Slightly different results were obtained in GPi-DBS (0. 21±0. 66) mm medial, (0. 96±0. 53) mm posterior, and (0. 17±0. 67) mm ventral. The uPVP was significantly related to lead displacement. Conclusion The lead position immediately post-operation is medially, posteriorly and ventrally displaced, and is related to uPVP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To investigate the clinical features of hypopituitarism with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease（NAFLD） in children after sellar tumor surgery and the association between hypopitarism and NAFLD in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of children with hypopituitarism and NAFLD after sellar tumor surgery who were followed up regularly in Wuhan Children’s Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from January 2017 to December 2021, and their clinical features were analyzed. Results There were 32 children with regular follow-up and complete clinical data after sellar tumor surgery, and 10 children（31.25%） developed NAFLD, among whom there were 5 boys and 5 girls. Among these 10 children, 9 had craniopharyngioma and underwent surgical treatment, and 1 had germinoma and underwent local radiotherapy. The 10 children had a median age of 8.4（6.29.8） years at the diagnosis of hypopituitarism and a median age of 11.9（8.7-12.6） years at the diagnosis of NAFLD. The median number of years from the diagnosis of hypopituitarism to the diagnosis of NAFLD was 2.0（1.4-4.0） years. At the diagnosis of NAFLD, all 10 children had obesity, and body mass index（BMI） was increased by 7.26±4.25 kg/m² on average since the diagnosis of hypopituitarism; the 10 children had a mean fasting blood glucose level of 4.67±0.55 mmol/L, a mean fasting insulin level of 25.40±5.93 μIU/ml, and a mean HOMA-IR index of 5.26±1.29. Among these 10 children, 9 had hypertriglyceridemia, and 1 had elevated triglyceride, with a mean level of 3.08±1.09 mmol/L; 6 children had hypercholesterolemia, with a mean level of 5.67±1.25 mmol/L; 8 children had high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, with a mean level of 3.97±1.27 mmol/L. After the diagnosis of NAFLD, 2 children were treated with recombinant human growth hormone and metformin and achieved reductions in BMI, HOMA-IR, and triglyceride after treatment, and total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were reduced to the normal range. Conclusion Children may experience weight gain, hypopituitarism, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia after sellar tumor surgery, which may lead to the onset of NAFLD. Weight management and active pituitary hormone replacement therapy are recommended for such children, as well as routine screening and management of fatty liver disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To study the effect of brain morphological features in predicting the severity of depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Methods 106 PD patients were examined by head MRI, and the MRI structure image data of the patients were collected. The patient's data is divided into training set and test set. Vertex base and generalized linear model are used to analyze the correlation between cortical thickness and the severity of depressive symptoms, and the support vector machine method is used to predict symptoms. Results The severity of depressive symptoms in this group of patients was related to the cortical thickness of multiple brain regions in the cerebral hemispheres on both sides. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the predicted Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) score and the real HAMD score was 0.394 (P = 0.0312). The coefficient of determination is 0.155. Conclusion The severity of depressive symptoms in PD patients has a certain correlation with the thickness of the cerebral cortex; and these brain morphological features can be used to predict the severity of depression symptoms in PD patients.

The black soil area of Songnen Plain is an important corn production area in China. The area of continuous corn cropping is large, and a large amount of straw is left over, which causes environmental pollution by burning in the open air. Returning straw to the field is one of the important ways for sustainable development of agriculture. At the same time, straw returning affects the adsorption and fixation of phosphorus in soil, which has a direct impact on the availability of soil phosphorus. In order to explore the effects of straw returning and phosphorus application rate on phosphorus adsorption and desorption characteristics of black soil under the continuous corn cropping in Songnen Plain. A frame culture experiment was initiated in 2016 at Northeast Agricultural University Experimental Station, where corn was continuously planted for three years. A two-factor split-plot design was adopted in this experiment, the main plot was straw returning method with no straw returning (S0), straw burying (S1) and straw burning (S2), and the sub-plot was phosphorus application level with 0 (P0), 34.50 (P1), 69 (P2), 103.50 (P3) kg/hm² (P2O5). After the corn was harvested in 2018, the 0-20 cm soil layer was collected to determine the adsorption and desorption performance of soil phosphorus and the content of soil available phosphorus. The results showed that: 1) Langmuir isothermal adsorption equation was the most suitable for fitting the adsorption characteristics of phosphorus of black soil. 2) Both straw returning and phosphorus application rate significantly affected the phosphorus adsorption and desorption characteristics of black soil, and the interaction between them was significant. Under the same straw returning method, with the increase of phosphorus application rate, the phosphorus adsorption amount of soil, Qm(maximal P adsorption), K(adsorption affinity constant), MBC(maximum buffer capacity) and SPR(standard phosphorus requirement) decreased gradually, while the RDP(readily desorbable P), DPS(degree of P saturation) and the phosphorus desorption amount and rate of soil increased gradually, with the largest difference under S0 treatment, followed by that under S2 treatment, and the smallest difference under S1 treatment. Under S0 treatment, the average phosphorus adsorption amount of P3 treatment decreased by 10.22% compared with P0 treatment (P<0.05). Under S2 treatment, the average phosphorus adsorption amount of P3 treatment decreased by 4.51% compared with P0 treatment (P<0.05). However, under S1 treatment, there was no significant difference between P3 and P0. Under the same phosphorus application level, compared with S0 treatment, both S1 and S2 could reduce the phosphorus adsorption capacity and increase the phosphorus desorption amount and rate of soil, however there was no significant difference between S1 and S2. Among them, under no phosphorus application (P0), the phosphorus adsorption amount of soil under S1 and S2 treatment decreased the most, which were 6.87% and 5.31% (P<0.05), respectively. Under high phosphorus application (P3), there was no significant difference in the phosphorus adsorption amount of soil under S0, S1 and S2 treatment. 3) The standard phosphorus requirement (SPR) under different phosphorus application treatments ranged from 71.02 to 91.67 kg/hm², of which the SPR (73.58 kg/hm² ) of S1P2 was the closest to the phosphorus application level of P2 (69 kg/hm² ), which was the appropriate phosphorus application method of black soil area in Songnen Plain. The purpose of this study is to provide some theoretical basis and reference for the rational application of straw returning and phosphate fertilizer in black soil area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
