CT perfusion (CTP) has provide a novel approach for the diagnosis of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. The evaluation indices include cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, time to peak, and mean transmit time. These semi-quantitative indices used for evaluating cerebral blood perfusion have very important significance for the guidance of choosing the best treatment protocol and efficacy observation. CTP is mainly used in acute ischemic stroke to identify penumbra and infarct, as well as predicting hemorrhagic transformation in combination with other means and choosing thrombolytic candidates. In addition, CTP is also used to assess cerebrovascular reserve capacity in patients with chronic ischemic diseases and diagnose cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and their efficacy evaluation.

The occlusal interference model in rats was established. In the masseter the level of MDA was increased, but both SOD and GPX were decreased in the presence of the occlusal interference, while the expression of UCP3 was higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0. 05) .The findings indicate that the occlusal interference can induce the oxidative damage of masseter in rats, which has a correlation with UCP3.

Objective To investigation the incidence of central venous catheter related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) and the distribution of pathogens in patients in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU),and analyze the risk factors of central venous catheter related bloodstream infection.Methods Clinical materials of the patients with central venous catheters in the emergency intensive care unit in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2015 to March 2016 were collected. The indwelling of central venous catheters and the infection situation were investigated with the self-designed central venous catheter monitoring table. Results From April 2015 to March 2016,108 cases of catheters were indwelled in EICU. The total number of days of central venous catheter indwelling was 688 days. There were 9 cases of CRBSI. The incidence of CRBSI was 13.08‰. There were 66.67% of catheters inspected. The gram-negative bacterium infection was the main pathogen of hospital infection. The main CRBSI risk factors were whether contaminated dressings were changed in time and timely removing unnecessary catheters.Conclusions Long term continuous targeted monitoring, timely understanding of infection related factors,and taking timely appropriate preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of catheter related bloodstream infection.

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic impact of tumor deposits on the overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer (GC) patients. Methods: Between January 2007 and December 2012, 312 GC patients undergoing curative resection in The First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University were enrolled. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the tumor deposit status of postopera-tive pathology: positive group, presence of tumor deposits and negative group, absence of tumor deposits. The correlations of tumor deposit status with clinicopathological and potential prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: Eighty-four (26.9%) patients had tumor deposits. There were significant differences in Borrmann type, tumor size, depth of invasion, N stage, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and lymphovascular invasion between the two groups on univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that Borrmann type, N stage, and lymphovascular invasion were independently associated with the presence of tumor deposits. In univariate survival analy-sis, age, tumor location, Borrmann type, tumor size, TNM stage, type of gastrectomy, lymphovascular invasion, and presence of tumor deposits were found to be significant prognostic factors. GC patients with tumor deposits had a significantly lower 5-year OS rate than those without tumor deposits (5-year OS: 34.5% vs . 67.5% , P<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age, Borrmann type III/IV, TNM stage, lymphovascular invasion, and presence of tumor deposits were independent prognostic factors for this cohort. Further stratified analysis demonstrated that the significant prognostic differences between the two groups were only observed in patients with stage N0-3a disease. There were no significant differences in survival between patients with and without tumor deposits at the N3b stage. The prognosis of GC patients with tumor deposits was independently correlated with N stage, lymphovascular invasion, and postoperative chemotherapy. Conclusions: The presence of tumor deposits was an independent prognostic factor in GC patients and can be used as a prognostic indicator for GC patients with stage N0-3a disease. GC patients with tumor deposits should receive postop-erative chemotherapy regardless of TNM stage.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), squamous cell carcinoma-associated antigen (SCCAg) and miRNA let-7a in lymph node metastasis and postoperative recurrence in patients with laryngeal cancer.Methods:A total of 82 patients with laryngeal cancer in the Second Central Hospital of Baoding from November 2017 to October 2019 were selected as the research subjects, including 18 cases of lymph node metastasis (metastasis group) and 64 cases of non metastasis (non metastasis group). The blood routine was tested before operation, and the baseline data, serum VEGF, SCCAg and miRNA let-7a levels were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the related influencing factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with laryngeal cancer. The correlation between serum VEGF, SCCAg, miRNA let-7a levels and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve was used to analyze the value of each index and the combined diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in patients with laryngeal cancer. After 1 year of follow-up, the serum VEGF, SCCAg and miRNA let-7a levels of patients with or without recurrent laryngeal cancer were compared. ROC curve was used to evaluate the value of VEGF, SCCAg, and miRNA let-7a in predicting the recurrence of laryngeal cancer.Results:There were statistically significant differences in tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, degree of infiltration, degree of differentiation, serum VEGF, SCCAg, and miRNA let-7a levels between the metastasis group and non metastasis group (all P<0.05). Serum VEGF, SCCAg, miRNA let-7a levels in patients with laryngeal cancer were related to TNM stage, degree of infiltration and degree of differentiation (all P<0.05). The combined diagnosis of serum VEGF, SCCAg and miRNA let-7a levels in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in patients with laryngeal cancer showed that the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 88.89% and 70.31%, respectively. The serum VEGF and SCCAg levels of patients with recurrence after operation were higher than those without recurrence, and the level of miRNA let-7a was lower than those without recurrence (all P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of combined serum VEGF, SCCAg and miRNA LET-7a levels in predicting postoperative recurrence of laryngeal cancer were 72.97% and 91.11%, respectively. Conclusions:VEGF, SCCAg, miRNA let-7a in patients with laryngeal cancer have a certain correlation with clinicopathological characteristics, which can assist in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis and help clinical prediction of postoperative recurrence in patients with laryngeal cancer, and provide a reference for the formulation of clinical treatment plans.
