Background Intracranial vascular malformation causes different neurophthalmological symptoms and signs due to oppressing visual-related tissue and cranial nerves after hemorrhage.However,there is no availably systematic clinical research on this disease up to now.Objective This retrospective cases analysis was to explore the neurophthalmological features of intracranial vascular malformation.Methods The clinical datas were collected from 100 cases with intracranial vascular malformation in Affiliated Third Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June,2007 to June,2013.The neurophthalmological clinical features including general condition,initial symptom,concomitant symptoms and image results were retrospectively surveyed.Results Neurophthalmological symptoms and signs were found in 20 patients with intracranial vascular malformation by CT and MRI with the detectability 20％ (20/100).The main neurophthalmological symptoms were visual field defect (50％,10/20) and vision loss (45％,9/20).The neurophthalmological signs were pupil abnormalities (35％,7/20).Other neurophthalmological features included optic nerve atrophy (5 ％,1/20),papilloedema (5 ％,1/20) and oculomotor nerve palsy (5 ％,1/20),etc.The relevant cranial diseases included cerebral arteriovenous malformation in 60％ patients (12/20),cavernous angiomas in 35％ (7/20) and venous malformation with cavernous angiomas (1/20).The lesions of cerebral arteriovenous malformation were located in occipital lobe (4 cases),parietal-occipital area (3 cases),temporal lobe (3 cases) and frontal lobe (1 case),midbrain area (1 case) ; while those of cavernous angiomas were located in parietal lobe (1 case),occipital lobe (1 case),gyrus cingulated area occipital lobe (1 case),carvenous sinus (1 case),temporal lobe (1 case),parietal-temporal area (1 case) and pons area (1 case).Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 14 patients in subarachnoid space (6 cases) and brain (8 cases).Conclusions The patients with intracranial vascular malformation have different neurophthalmological symptoms and signs.Sufficient attention should be paid to the patients with neurophthalmological symptoms and signs.

Objective To observe the neuro-ophthalmological features of intracranial aneurysm.Methods 169 patients with intracranial aneurysm were retrospectively studied.45 patients, including 18 men and 27 women, had neuro ophthalmological symptoms or signs.Their average age was (56.21 ± 16.11) years and 32 (71.11％)patients' age was more than 50 years.The onset time ranged from 30 minutes to 20 years.20 (44.44％) patients' onset time was among 24 hours.CT, CT angiography, MRI, MRI angiography and cerebral digital subtraction angiography were performed alone or combined in all 45 patients.Visual acuity, pupil reflex and eye movement were examined.Clinical data including general condition, initial symptoms, neuro-ophthalmological changes, imaging data and treatment effects were recorded.Results 26.63％ of the 169 patients had neuro-ophthalmological symptoms or signs.There were 6 patients (13.33％) with neuro ophthalmological changes as their first manifestation and 39 patients (86.67 ％) with neurologic changes as first manifestation.Neuro-ophthalmological symptoms included vision loss (10 patients, 22.22％), diplopia (4 patients, 8.89％) and ocular pain (2 patients, 4.44％).The most common neuro-ophthalmological sign was pupil abnormality which was found in 31 patients (68.89 ％).The second most common sign was eye movement disorder (16 patients, 35.56％).The other signs included ptosis (8 patients, 17.78％), nystagmus (2 patients, 4.44％), exophthalmos (1 patient, 2.22％) and disappeared corneal reflection (1 patient, 2.22％).Imaging examination indicated that intracranial hemorrhage happened in 29 patients (64.44％).The most common neuro-ophthalmological features were pupil abnormality, eye movement disorder and vision loss in both patients with or without intracranial hemorrhage.The incidence of pupil abnormality was higher in patients with intracranial hemorrhage than that without intracranial hemorrhage, the difference was statistically significant (x2=7.321, P=0.007).Pupil abnormality and vision loss were common in patients with internal carotid artery aneurysm, and eye movement disorder was common in patients with internal carotid artery aneurysm and posterior communicating aneurysms.Conclusions Patients with intracranial aneurysm have different neuroophthalmological features.The most common features are pupil abnormality, eye movement disorder and vision loss.

Objective We tried to investigate the current status of pediatric nursing post setting and analyze the practical application effect in the clinical working practice for the foundation of readjusting and setting up the pediatric nursing positions.Methods By convenient sampling method,the general condition and current post setting situation in the pediatric wards of 7 hospitals with self-designed questionnaires were investigated.The results underwent analysis Results The nursing post setting in pediatric wards of 7 hospitals were not all the same,nursing posts in the pediatric ward included three categories:management positions,teaching positions and clinical positions.Management positions included the head nurse,deputy head nurse and head nurse assistant; teaching positions included the teaching secretary and clinical total teaching nurse; the seven kinds of clinical nursing positions were office job,day shift,night shift,evening shift,midnight shift,late-morning shift,auxiliary job.Though some nursing jobs differed in the position names and working hours,their job contents were nearly identical.Conclusions Pediatric nursing post setting management in our country is still in the exploratory stage at present,it has not form a unified perfect job management system.Pediatric nursing positions should be set from the perspective of evidencebased theory,satisfying the demands of patients as the guidance,coming from clinical needs as the first principle,in the full implementation of the accountability for nursing and based on comprehensive consideration of various factors,so that the post setting can be scientific and reasonable.

Currently,the most effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke is administration of tissuetype plasminogen activator for intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis within 3 to 6 hours after symptoms onset.However,the narrow therapeutic time window and the risk of intracranial hemorrhage have limited its clinical application.Angiogcncsis refers to the process of the formation of new functional blood vessels with the manner of germination from the already existing network of blood vessels.An increasing number of studies have shown that histone deacetylases involve in the regulation of angiogenesis.It may become a potential stroke treatment strategy.This article reviews the role of histone deacetylases in the regulation of angiogenesis.

Objective To assess the role of intervention of dexmedetomidine in lung tissue and plasma of septic rats induced by lipolysaccharide.Methods Forty SD rats weighing 250-300 g were divided into 4 groups:control group (n =10)with saline (1 ml·kg-1·h-1 )infused through the tail veins of rats for 6 h;dexmedetomidine (DEX)group (n =10)with dexmedetomidine,injected 6.5 μg ·kg-1·h-1 for 10 min followed by 5 μg·kg-1·h-1 ,continuously infused through tail veins for 6 h;li-polysaccharide (LPS)group (n = 10 )with lipolysaccharide (7.5 mg/kg)infused through the tail veins of rats;LPS+DEX group (n =10),after infusion of LPS,rats were treated with dexmedeto-midine (bolus 6.5 μg·kg-1·h-1 ,10 min;5 μg·kg-1·h-1 ,continuous infusion)through the tail veins for 6 h.ELISA and Western blot were performed to assess the protein expression of IL-1,IL-6, TNF-αand TLR4;the wet/dry ratio (W/D)of lung tissue in each group was measured and the injury scores were recorded through the Murakami method.Results There was no statistical significance between the control group and DEX group in plasma level of inflammatory factors,pulmonary TLR4 expression,wet/dry ratio and injury score of lung tissues,however,compared to the control group, there was a significant elevation in the above-mentioned biomarkers,W/D and injury score of lung tis-sue (P <0.01).Compared to the control group,there was no statistical significance in the LPS+DEX group.Compared to the LPS+DEX group,the biomarkers mentioned above,W/D and injury score of lung tissues were significantly elevated in the LPS group (P <0.01).Conclusion The irrita-tion of LPS can trigger the elevation of inflammatory factors in plasma,TLR4 expression in lung tis-sues in rats,while the intervention of dexmedetomidine can significantly alleviate this tendency. Dexmedetomidine can suppress the inflammatory reaction and pulmonary edema in septic rats.
