Objective To explore the feasibility of individualized low rate contrast agent injection scheme combined with low tube voltage scanning in CTA imaging of low body mass index(BMI) subjects' head and neck. Methods Ninety cases of head and neck CTA examination of low BMI subjects in our department from January 2020 to November 2020 were selected for the study, and randomly divided into three groups with 30 cases in each group. Group A applied 80 kV scanning, low flow rate and low total volume injection scheme. Group B applied 120 kV scanning, high flow rate, low total volume injection scheme. Group C applied 120 kV scanning, high flow rate and high total volume injection scheme. The injection velocity, injection volume, radiation dose length product (DLP) among three groups were compared. In each image of the aortic arch, common carotid artery, basilar artery and the central part of sternocleidomastoid, the CT value, the signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio were evaluated. Two experienced radiologists performed image quality evaluation. Results Image quality in group A and B by subjective evaluation got 4 points out of 4, and group C got 3 points out of 4, and there was statistical difference between group A, B and C in subjective evaluation of image quality (P<0.05). The injection velocity and DLP of contrast agent in group A were 27.75% and 47.10% lower than those in group B and C, respectively. The total amount of contrast agent injection in groups A and B was decreased by 39.87% compared with group C, with statistical difference (P<0.05). The corresponding CT values of each vessel in group A were slightly higher than those in group B and C, and there were statistically significant differences in the Objective parameters of other vessels except for aortic arch (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of individualized low flow rate and precise contrast agent injection scheme with low tube voltage scanning technology for low BMI subject could not only reduce the injection rate and risk of contrast agent, but also reduce radiation dose, on the premise of meeting the diagnostic requirements of image quality. It is worthy of popularization and application.

目的 探讨肌电生物反馈对正常人脑血流动力学的影响及其变化规律。方法 总数30人的健康正常受试者纳入研究,按照表格法随机分为生物反馈实验组和对照组。其中生物反馈组20人,对照组10人。该试验采用肌电生物反馈作为反馈方法,记录两组试验前后双侧大脑前动脉、大脑中动脉和大脑后动脉的平均血流速度和脉动指数。每次生物反馈试验后间隔3天,作为一个生物反馈阶段,总共进行7个阶段。结果 生物反馈组大脑中动脉的平均血流速度在试验前、后高于对照组(P<0.05),而其脉动指数则低于对照组(P<0.05)。生物反馈组在试验前、后大脑中动脉的平均血流速度随着生物反馈次数的增加而增快(P<0.05),而脉动指数则随之而降低(P<0.05)。结论 肌电生物反馈能够增加正常人大脑中动脉的平均血流速度和降低其脉动指数,且随着生物反馈次数的增加而呈现累积效应。

Objective To discuss the effect of electromyographic biofeedback on cerebral hemodynamics in health people. Methods A total of 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study, and randomly divided into biofeedback group (n=20) and control group (n=10). The biofeedback group had been done with electromyographic biofeedback for seven times with 3 days intervals after each test. The data including the mean velocity (Vm) and pulse index (PI) of anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery (MCA) and posterior cerebral artery were collected bilaterally before and after the test using transcranial Doppler in the two groups. Results The values of Vm (P<0.05) were higher and PI (P<0.05) were lower in biofeedback group than those in control group before and after the test. The values of Vm (P<0.05) increased and PI (P<0.05) decreased gradually in biofeedback group from 1st to 7th tests. Conclusion The electromyographic biofeedback can induce to the increasing of velocity of cerebral blood flow and decreasing of PI in MCA, and the additive effect was observed during the 7 tests in biofeedback group.

Objective The mechanism about biofeedback is not complete clear. Our aim was to study changes of cardiac function (electrophysiology) during biofeedback with the help of approximate entropy (ApEn), and a potential new mechanism about neurofeedback may be detected. Methods A total of 30 healthy volunteers participated in this study which consisted of the neurofeedback group(n=20) and the control group (n=10). We applied electromyogram neurofeedback as the feedback method, and simultaneously recorded electroencephalogram(EEG) and electrocardiogram(ECG). We applied the nonlinear analysis ApEn assess obtained data. Results In the biofeedback group the average of heart rate was higher than that of control group in the last two sessions. As the biofeedback experiment sessions were progressed, the standard deviation of heart rate gradually reduced and the ApEn of ECG increased with statistic significance in the biofeedback group. Conclusion We found that biofeedback can influence cardiac electrophysiological system and make cardiac systems progress healthily and achieve greater ability of anti-stress.
