Abstract
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is considered a simple surrogate marker for insulin resistance and has been associated with cerebrovascular diseases. However, limited information is available regarding its association with the subclinical cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Here, we investigated the association of TyG index with the burden and distribution of enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) in the non-diabetic population. The data of 531 non-diabetic patients from 2017 to 2020 were assessed. Participants were grouped according to the burden of EPVS. TyG index was calculated using the log scale of fasting triglycerides (mg/dl) × fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2. The association of TyG index with EPVS burden and distribution was evaluated. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, the TyG index was associated with moderate to severe EPVS [odds ratio (OR): 2.077; 95% CI = 1.268–3.403]. The TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of moderate to severe EPVS in subgroups of age <65 years, male, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <90 mmHg, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥2.85 mmol/L, serum homocysteine <10 μmol/L, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90 ml/min/1.73 m2, as well as those without smoking. Further analysis of EPVS distribution, the TyG index was found to be associated with moderate to severe EPVS in the centrum semiovale (CSO), not in the basal ganglia (BG). Conclusively, the TyG index was independently and positively associated with moderate to severe CSO EPVS. TyG index may serve as an independent risk factor for CSVD in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Motion can strongly affect MRI image quality and derived imaging measures. We studied the effects of motion and retrospective motion correction (MC) on the visualization and quantitative measures of the perivascular space and penetrating vessel (PVSV) complex, an essential part of the glymphatic system, on high-resolution T2 -weighted MRI images at 7T. METHODS MC was achieved by adjusting k-space data based on head positions measured using fat navigator images. PVSV visibility and quantitative measures including diameter, volume fraction (VF), count, and contrast were compared between images with and without MC. RESULTS Without MC, VF, and count decreased significantly with increasing head rotation. MC improved PVSV visualization in all cases with severe motion artifacts. MC decreased diameter in white matter (WM) and increased VF, count, and contrast in basal ganglia and WM. The changes of VF, count, and contrast after MC strongly correlated with motion severity. MC eliminated the significant dependences of VF and count on rotation and reduced the inter-subject variations of VF and count. The effect sizes of age and breathing gas effects on VF and count, and contrast increased in most cases after MC, while those on diameter exhibited inconsistent behavior. CONCLUSIONS Motion affects PVSV quantification without MC. MC improves PVSV visibility and increases the statistical power of detecting physiological PVSV VF, count, and contrast changes but may have limited benefits for increasing the power for detecting diameter changes.

Abstract
Brain iron deposits (IDs) are indicative of microvessel dysfunction which may predispose to small vessel disease (SVD) brain damage and worsen cognition later in life. Visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (CSO-PVS) are SVD features linked with microvessel dysfunction. We examined possible associations of CSO-PVS volume and count with brain IDs and cognitive abilities in 700 community-dwelling individuals from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 who underwent detailed cognitive testing and multimodal brain MRI at mean age 72.7 years. Brain IDs were assessed automatically followed by manual editing. PVS were automatically assessed in the centrum semiovale and deep corona radiata supraventricular. General factors of overall cognitive function (g), processing speed (g-speed) and memory (g-memory) were used in the analyses. Median (IQR) volumes of IDs and CSO-PVS expressed as a percentage of intracranial volume were 0.0021 (0.011) and 0.22 (0.13)% respectively. Median count of CSO-PVS was 410 (IQR = 201). Total volumes of CSO-PVS and ID, adjusted for head size, were correlated (Spearman ρ = 0.13, p < 0.001). CSO-PVS volume, despite being correlated with all three cognitive measures, was only associated with g-memory (B = -114.5, SE = 48.35, p = 0.018) in general linear models, adjusting for age, sex, vascular risk factors, childhood intelligence and white matter hyperintensity volume. The interaction of CSO-PVS count with diabetes (B = -0.0019, SE = 0.00093, p = 0.041) and volume with age (B = 1.57, SE = 0.67, p = 0.019) were also associated with g-memory. Linear regression models did not replicate these associations. Therefore, it does not seem that CSO-PVS burden is directly associated with general cognitive ability in older age.

Abstract
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a broad category of cerebrovascular diseases which primarily affect the perforating arterioles, capillaries and venules with multiple distinct etiologies. In spite of distinctive pathogenesis, CSVD shares similar neuroimaging markers, including recent small subcortical infarct, lacune of presumed vascular origin, white matter hyperintensity of presumed vascular origin, perivascular space and cerebral microbleeds. The radiological features of neuroimaging markers are indicative for etiological analysis. Furthermore, in sporadic arteriosclerotic pathogenesis associated CSVD, the total CSVD burden is a significant predictor for stroke events, global cognitive impairment, psychiatric disorders and later life quality. This review aims to summarize the radiological characteristics as well as the clinical implication of CSVD markers and neuroimaging interpretation for CSVD symptomatology.
