ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and progressing stroke.Methods103 patients with acute cerebral infarction within the first 24 hours from onset were tested with carotid color doppler ultrasonography during the first week from admission. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between carotid intima media thickness (IMT), plaque structure, the degree of artery stenosis and the early deterioration of cerebral infarction.ResultsPrevalence of carotid plaque and thickness of IMT in patients with progressing stroke were higher than that in non progressing patients. In logistic regression, presence of carotid plaque was independent predictors of progressing stroke. Plaque size, extent of artery stenosis and IMT were not included in the regression model.ConclusionPlaque structure and its chemical feature may be the cause of progressing stroke.
5.Progress on molecular mechanism of mercury induced neurotoxicity in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(5):489-493
Mercury is one of the ubiquitous environmental neurotoxins which causes adverse effects on the development of children's neural system.Considering the severe neurotoxicity of mercury,finding and minimizing the sources of mercury exposure is essential for children's health.Amongst the mercury compounds,the toxicity of organic mercury is the most severe.Methyl mercury (MeHg) is the most detrimental and represents a major source of human exposure of mercury.Recent studies on molecular mechanisms of MeHg neurotoxicity points out that MeHg mainly mediates its toxic effects through the impairment of intraceilular calcium homeostasis,alteration of glutamate homeostasis,and oxidative stress.These concepts provide the biochemical interpreting of MeHg neurotoxicity.This review provides the current information on mercury,including environmental sources,neurotoxicity,and molecular mechanisms of MeHg-induced neurotoxicity.It will be helpful to find some effective ways of interfering children mercury exposure.
6.Multidisciplinary approach to acute massive gastrointestinal bleeding caused by Dieulafoy's lesion
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2012;(11):916-919
Objective To explore the multidisciplinary treatment for acute massive gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding caused by Dieulafoy's lesion.Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with Dieulafoy's lesions treated at our hospital from April 2007 to April 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 48 patients,40 were males and 8 were females,with a mean age of 46.7 years (range 21 -52 years).Accurate diagnosis was established by emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, angiography and emergency laparotomy.Results The most common location of the bleeding Dieulafoy's lesion was at the body of stomach (40 cases),followed by the cardia (4 cases),the duodenum (2 cases) and the jejunum (2 cases ),with most lesions being located in the upper part of the stomach within 6 cm of the gastroesophageal junction.Correct diagnosis was made by endoscopy in 46 patients and by emergency laparotomy in 2 cases.Of the 18 patients initially treated endoscopically epinephrine injection and endoscopic hemoclips,2 cases needed angiography to identify the source of bleeding and were cured by transcatheter arterial embolization.23 patients underwent surgical therapy.In this series,47 cases were cured,1 patient died of hypovolaemic shock and multi-organ failure during the hospital stay.Average length hospital stay was (10.8 ± 2.5 ) d.Conclusions Dieulafoy' s lesion is less common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding.Endoscopy plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment.Topical epinephrine injection and haemoclipping may cure the patients,if it fails angiography and embolization provides a therapy.Most patients may need a laparotomy and surgery as a decisive measure.
