Advances in resuscitation and intensive care have led to high rates of survival among neonates with life -threatening conditions such as asphyxia,prematurity and congenital malformations.The sequelae of neurologic con-ditions arises in the neonatal period include lifelong disabilities such as cerebral palsy,epilepsy,intellectual and beha-vioral disabilities.There is an increasing demand for resource -intense strategies for acute neurological care within neo-natal intensive care unit.Neonatal neurocritical care is a multidisciplinary subspecialty that combines expertise in neo-natology,pediatric neurology,radiology,rehabilitation,surgery,and has led to improved outcomes in newborn that have critical illnesses.Neonatal neurocritical care focus the needs of the developing newborn brain,including attention to physiology to help prevent secondary brain injury,a protocol -driven approach for common conditions such as hypoxic -ischemic encephalopathy and seizures,education of specialized teams that use brain monitoring and imaging to evaluate the effect of critical illness on brain function.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between ankle-brachial index(ABI)and intracranial atherosclerosis in patients with ischemic stroke.MetlaTds:qhe ABI of 73 patients with ischemic stroke were detected using vascular Doppler ultrasound;head magnetic resonance angiography(MkA)was performed using a 1.5 T magnetic resonance imahing system,and the extent of intracranial artery stenosis was graded.The correlation between ABI and the grade of intracranial artery stenosis in patieras with ischemic stroke was analyzed.Results:The ABI in patients without intracranial artery stenosis(n=38)was significantly higher than those with intracranial artery stenosis(n=35)(0.975±0.114 vs 0.837±0.096,P<0.001).The ABI was significantly negatively correlated with the extent of intracranial artery stenosis(r=-0.736,P=0.001).Conclusions:The ABI was negatively correlated with the extent of intracranial artery stcnosis.It can he used as a preliminary screening means of intracranial atherosclerosis.

Objective To evaluate the value of amplitude-integrated EEG(aEEG)as a quantitative predictor of neurodevelopment outcome of full-term infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Method EMBASE,Ovid,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Springer Database,CNKI,CSJD and Wanfang Database were searched from when the database was founded to June 30,2010 for studies about aEEG as a predictor of neurodevelopment outcome in full-term infants with HIE.Characteristic information of each articles was extracted and QUADAS items were used to evaluate the qualities of included studies.Meta-disc software 1.4 was used to perform the metaanalysis.All included studies were combined with weighted quantity; sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,negative likelihood ratio and their 95 ％ CI were calculated.Results Eleven studies were eligible for the primary meta-analysis and totally 717 subjects were included.There was an overall sensitivity of 86％(95％ CI:81％-89％),specificity of 90％(95％ CI:86％-93％),positive likelihood ratio of 7.70(95％ CI:5.69-10.43),negative likelihood ratio of 0.17(95％ CI:0.13-0.22)and the area under the curve(AUC)of summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.95 for aEEG tracings to accurately predict poor outcome of HIE in full term neonates.Conclusion aEEG is a valuable bedside tool for predicting long-term neurodevelopment outcome in term infants with HIE.

Objectives To examine the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation on arterial elasticity in stroke patients to provide clinical evidence for secondary prevention of patients with cerebral ischemic stroke. Methods Total 192 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled and then divided into the EECP (n=107) and control (n=85) group. Auto-matic measurement synchronous atherosclerosis detector was use to measure brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (BaP-WV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). The difference of BaPWV and CAVI were evaluated before, at 36 hours and one month after EECP. Results The BaPWV and CAVI significantly decreased at 36 hours and 1 month after treat-ment in EECP groups compared to either pre-therapy or control groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions EECP can signifi-cantly reduce the BaPWV and CAVI and improve the arterial elasticity in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke. Thus, arterial elasticity may be an important index to evaluate the effects of EECP on cerebral ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of new-type patent endotracheal tube in difficult endotrachea intubation patients.Methods Seventy-three patients with the abnormal airways were selected as our subjects.Patients were given the traditional endotracheal tube by mouth after anesthesia.The successes patients in terms of endotracheal intubation were as group Ⅰ (n =73).The failed patients were asgroup Ⅱ (n =63),who performed the secondary endotracheal intubation with new type patent endotracheal tube.Analyze the success rate of intubation of the two groups when on use the tube core.Results The first time intubation success rate and intubation success rate was (2.7％ (2/73),13.7％ (10/73) respectively) in Ⅰ group,and 73.02％ (46/63) and 98.41％ (62/63) respectively in the group Ⅱ,and there was the significant difference between two groups (x2 =36.01,31.08 respectively,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The new type endotracheal tube was proved with three advamage of good plasticity,without need of auxiliary core intubation with trachealtube and give full play to lead the soft cannula guide tubes leading role.Therefore,the new type patent endotracheal tube has more efficacy over traditional tube.

Objective To determine the incidence, clinical manifestation and risk factors of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndromes (IRIS) in highly active antirctroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV/AIDS patients. Methods Two hundred and twelve HIV/AIDS patients received HAART, and were followed up for 6 months. The incidence time and disease spectrum of IRIS were observed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for IRIS. Results Among 212 patients, there were 59 (27.8%) experienced an IRIS event during the first 6 months of HAART, 2 of which died (2/59,3.39% ). Median time of IRIS onset was 21 days form HAART initiation. The disease spectrum included tuberculosis, herpes virus infections, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, cryptococcal meningitis and penicillium marneffei infection. Risk factors of IRIS included baseline infections ( OR = 1. 655, P =0.010),fever during HAART ( OR = 2. 344, P= 0.006), and baseline CD4 + count ( OR = 1. 556, P = 0. 034).Conclusions IRIS usually occurred within the first month from HAART initiation, and tuberculosis and herpes virus infection are most common. The occurrence of IRIS is associated with the antigens burden and the decreased baseline CD4 + count.

Objective To discuss the artery effects of enhanced external counterpulsation for the progressive stroke patients.Methods Ninety-two progressive stroke patients who were treated in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenzhen from August 2010 to February 2015 were selected and equally divided into the treatment group and the control group based on the random number table.The control group were received conventional therapy,and the treatment group were added treated with enhanced extemal counterpulsation therapy.Results All patients were successfully completed treatment,the C-reactive protein (CRP) and Endothelin-1 (ET-1) were presented decreased significantly after treatment (P＜ 0.05),and the C RP and ET-1 values in the treatment group were (2.09±2.11) mg/L,(13.98±6.30) mg/L,significantly lower than those of the control group((8.12±2.46) mg/L,(46.09± 11.02) mg/L;t =15.309,14.985;P＜0.05).After treatment,the FMD and NMD values in the treatment group were significantly increased from (5.26±1.34)％ to (11.93 ±2.13) ％,and from (13.20±5.33)％ to (22.98±8.34)％,in the control groupand were from (5.27±1.33)％ to (8.10±1.43) ％,and from (13.67±4.10)％ to (16.09±5.12)％ (t=16.934,21.787,8.443,12.345;P ＜0.05),and the value of FMD and NMD in treatment group were significantly higher than in the control group(t =7.982,9.113;P ＜ 0.05).The cardio ankle vascular index (CAVI) and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) values in the treatment group were significantly reduced after treatment,the difference was significant (P＜0.05),and compared with the control group the difference was also statistically significant (t =4.281,8.456;P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Enhanced external counterpulsation for the progressive stroke patients can effectively inhibit the expression of endothelin and inflammatory factors,improve endothelium-dependent relaxation of blood vessels,improve arterial elasticity,and thus play more effective treatment.
