International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(6):524-528
Objective To investigate the correlation between thyroid antibody level and carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled retrospectively.They were divided into a non-plaque group and a plaque group according to the findings of carotid artery color-Doppler ultrasonography.The plaque group was redivided into a stable plaque subgroup and a non-stable plaque subgroup.Chemiluminescence method was used to measure the serum thyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) levels and they were compared.Results A total of 383 patients were enrolled in the study,including 116 (30.3%) did not have plaque and 267 (69.7%) had plaque,68 of them had unstable plaque,and 199 had stable plaque.The level of TGAb in the plaque group was significantly higher than that in the non-plaque group (Z =-4.826,P <0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the level of TGAb might be an independent risk factors for carotid plaque (odds ratio 1.007,95% confidence interval 1.001-1.012;P =0.016).The serum level of TPOAb in the stable plaque group was significantly higher than that in the unstable plaque group (Z =-2.114,P=0.035),but multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that it was not the independent risk factor for unstable plaque (odds ratio 1.001,95% confidence interval 0.996-1.006;P =0.786).Conclusions The level of serum thyroid antibodies increased in patients with acute ischemic stroke,especially the increased level of TGAb might be associated with the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque,however,it was not associated with the plaque stability.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and factors of recurrence of abdominal wall endometrioms ( AWE). Methods 19 cases of AWE diagnosed at Shaoxing People' s Hospital from January 2005 to April 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Results All patients had a history of cesarean section. Eleven patients (57.9%) had the typical complaint of an enlarging mass and pain during menstruation. All patients received surgical excision and postoperative adjuvant therapy of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) or Mifepristone treatment for 6 months. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination in all patients. At follow- up, ranging from 1 month to 3 years, there was 1 case of recurrence of endometrioms during a follow -up of 2 years. Conclusion AWE could be diagnosed easily by its typical clinical manifestations preoperatively. Sonography or MRI may be helpful in identifying the exact anatomical location of the lesion and in excluding other surgical conditions, however it lacks specificness. Surgical excision is the only effective treatment, and complete and wide local excision is the key point to prevent recurrence. Combination surgical excision with postoperative adjuvant therapy might reduce the recurrence, although its effectiveness need being testified in the future.

Objective To study the clinical and imaging characteristics of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Methods Clinical data of 9 cases with CVST were retrospectively analyzed.Results All patients had headache,nausea and vomiting; 5 patients had epilepsy; 3 patients had focal neurological deficits; 3 patients had fever; 3 patients had palilledema; 3 patients had disturbance of consciousness. CSF examination showed prominent high intracranial pressure, but conventional and biochemical examinations were normal. 8 patients did CT scan, but the diagnosis was not clear. All patients first MRI showed venous sinus and related brain areas long T1 and T2 signal; MRV showed that the involved venoussinus had non-visualized signal. MRI in chronic phase showed slightly higher T1 and T2 signal; MRV showed sinus enhancement.The outline of uncomplete reconalzation was unclear. Conclusions The common high intracranial pressure is unspecific sign and symptom of patients with CVST. CSF examination show that the intracranial pressure is prominent high, but conventional and biochemical examination are normal. MRI can show that the normal flow void of the dural sinus is disappeared, instead of abnormal high or equality intensities. The characters of CVST in MRV are those the blood flow signal of involved venous sinus be disappeared or showed anormalism.

The annual incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is 9.0/100000.Although it only accounts for 5% of all strokes,its prognosis is poor.Among the aSAH survivors,46% of them do not completely recover within 1 year,50% have progessive memory impairment,14% have language disorders,and 39% have emotional disorders.Because the social and family responsibilities shouldered by the relatively young patients,the demand for quality of life,as well as the lack of about the prognostic data of aSAH in China,all these are particularly important for the study of the prognosis of cognitive function,quality of life,and the ability of returning to work in patients with aSAH.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypobaric hypoxia postconditioning( HHP) on neurological func-tion prognosis in traumatic brain injury( TBI) rats. Methods 48 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group(n=12),fpi group(n=18) and HHP group(n=18). The rat model of TBI was made by the method of fluid percussion injury( FPI) and rats in HHP group were submitted to HHP(360 Torr,2 h,3 trails spaced at 24 h) starting 3 h after FPI. The learning and memory abilitiy,motor coordination,anxiety and depression-like behaviors and surviving neurons of ipsilateral hippocampus were evaluated by Morris water maze( MWM) ,rotatord test,open-field test and hippocampus nissl stain respectly. Results Morris water maze:compared with sham and HHP group, learning and memory abilitiy of rats in fpi group were significantly decreased(F=4. 257 6,P<0. 05),whereas no difference was observed between sham and HHP group(P>0. 05);Rotatord test:compared with sham group,motor coordination of rats in HHP group were significantly decreased ( F=4. 335 , P<0. 05 ) , whereas no difference was observed between sham and fpi group ( P >0. 05 );Open-field test:compared with sham group, rats of fpi group showed significant anxiety and depression-like behavioral changes, whereas no difference was observed between sham and HHP group;Nissl stain:No difference of surviving neurons of ipsilateral hippocampus CA1 and CA3 re-gion was observed among three gourps at 3 d after FPI(P>0. 05). There were significantly fewer surviving neurons of ipsilateral hippocampus CA1 and CA3 region in fpi group than sham and HHP group at 24 d after FPI ( F =46. 758,5. 486,P<0. 05). Conclusion TBI induces learning and memory impairment,anxiety and depression-like behaviors and neurons death in hippocampus. HHP was first discovered having double effects on neurological func-tion prognosis in TBI rats. On the one hand,HHP can remove the impairment of learning and memory,anxiety and depression-like behaviors and neurons death in hippocampus;on the other hand,HHP impairs motor coordination at the same time.

Objective To compare rotational DSA with routine DSA in the assessment of intracranial aneurysms. Methods Conventional anteroposterior, lateral and oblique views of DSA and rotational DSA were respectively performed in 20 patients suspected of intracranial aneurysms in subarachnoid hemorrhage using DSA (Philips Integris V 3000DSA system). Images were compared for localization of the aneurysm, shape of the aneurysmal neck and vascular branch anatomy. Results Among 20 patients, only 18 intracranial aueurysms were found by convertional DSA and the other two were only by the rotational DSA. Furthermore, conventional DSA examination could not clarify the relationships of 6 (6/18) aneruysms with their parent arteries and with the vascular branch anatomy including the aneurysmal neck could not be clarified in 7 (7/18) patients. However, shape of the aneurysms and visibility of the aneurysmal neck could be clarified after using the rotational DSA, and meanwhile, vascular anatomy can be indentified with the rotational DSA. Conclusion Rotational DSA often allows better visibility of vascular anatomy and aneurysmal neck compared with conventional DSA, offering more important information for operation.

Objective To study the effect of exogenous 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) on blood glucose of normal mice. Methods Kunming male mice were divided into two groups: 3-DG (5mg/kg) treatment and control group.At day 1,week 1 and week 2 after treatment, we compared fasting blood glucose,and did the glucose tolerance test in 3-DG group after 2 weeks' 3-DG administration. Results Blood glucose was increased obviously 2h after administration with 3-DG once versus pre-administration and control (7.78±0.694 vs 6.41±0.408,and 6.43±0.43,all higher than control,but no statistical significance (P>0.05). There were no differences in 6 hour fasting blood glucose after once administration with 3-DG and in 12 hours fasting blood glucose two weeks after administration with 3-DG between 3-DG and Con groups. After 3-DG administration for two weeks,as compared with Con, the 30 minute blood glucose of 3-DG administration mice during OGTT was obviously increased (19.47±1.541 vs 17.22±1.911,P<0.05), but glucose levels at 60 minute and 120 minute had no changes (P>0.05). Conclusions Exogenous 3-DG increases the normal mice's blood glucose immediately after once administration with 3-DG and results in up-moving of glucose physiological curve and leads to a light impairment of glucose tolerance when mice were continuously fed with 3-DG for 2 weeks.
