Objective: To evaluate hemodynamic character and surgical effect of stenoses or occlusion of carotid artery system by perfusion-weighted MRI.
Methods: Twenty-one patients with stenoses or occlusion of carotid artery system underwent surgical treatment. Two patients underwent endarterectomy, extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass to 10 patients, and percutaneous stent angioplasty to 9 patients.
Results: Preoperative perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) revealed normal regional cerebral blood flow in all patients, with delayed time to peak in both middle cerebral artery distribution and border zone. Postoperative perfusion-weighted MR revealed normal time to peak in border zone, but abnormal in middle cerebral artery distribution. Evaluated by perfusion-weighted MR, it showed that surgical method can improve the hemodynamic disorder of this kind of disease. The early curative effect of endarterectomy and percutaneous stent angioplasty is better than extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass.
Conclusions: Perfusion-weighted MR is a good method to evaluate hemodynamic character of stenoses or occlusion of carotid artery system. Surgical method is helpful to this kind of disease, and its curative effect can be evaluated impersonally and accurately by this new technique.

The preoptic area of the hypothalamus is critical for regulation of brain-body interaction, including circuits that control vital signs such as body temperature and heart rate. The preoptic area contains approximately 70 molecularly distinct cell types. The gene is expressed in a subset of preoptic area cell types.

Earthquakes, as significant natural disasters, still cannot be accurately predicted today. Although current earthquake early warning systems can provide alerts several seconds in advance, acute stress responses (ASR) in emergency situations can waste these precious escape seconds. To investigate the correlation between personality and ASR, this study collected the temperament and character of all participants using the Chen Huichang-60 Temperament Scale and the DISC Personality Inventory.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the use of transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as a modern and efficient method for evaluating graft flow.* -
- Key measurable parameters such as mean graft flow, pulsatility index, diastolic filling, and systolic reverse flow are assessed to predict the success of CABG grafts, although cut-off values vary based on hemodynamic conditions.* -
- The review highlights the importance of fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of TTFM waveforms, suggesting that waveform morphology may provide additional insights into graft quality beyond standard flow measurements.*

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between autonomic nervous function (ANF) and cognitive abilities, such as memory and attention, using the Kana pick-out test (KPT). The participants were 11 female college students aged 21 years old. Each participant completed the KPT ten times, during which their ANF was assessed via heart rate variability analysis.

The aim of the study was to reveal the patterns of the age-related dynamics of the frequency-dependent regulation of heart rate variability (HRV) based on the analysis of Holter ECG recordings from healthy subjects of four age groups: neonates, one-year-old infants, adolescents, and adults. A wide spectral composition of HRV is shown, consisting of nine Hilbert-Huang modes in the frequency range from 0.0001 to 2 Hz.
