OBJECTIVE:To explore the treatment effect and complication prevention of various stent materials for intracranial arteriostenosis.METHODS:A computer-based online search of Science Direct and Ei database (1998-01/2009-10) was performed for English articles with the key words of "intracranial arteriostenosis,stent placement" In addition,CNKI and CBM database (1998-01/2009-10) were searched for related Chinese articles with the same key words in Chinese.Moreover,related works were manually searched.Studies regarding various stent materials for intracranial arteriostenosis were included,including basic and clinical experiments.RESULTS:Multicenter studies of worldwide show that stent implantation displays obvious advantages in treating carotid artery stenosis compared with carotid endarterectomy.Recently,with developing of balloon and stent compliance,as well as stent technology,and application of various novel materials and cerebral protection device,stent has become a safe and effective therapy for intracranial arteriostenosis.However,complications following stent implantation,such as restenosis,ischemic stroke,cerebral hemorrhage hypertransfusion syndrome,and cerebral angiospasm,limit its application.CONCLUSION:The safety and efficacy of intracranial stent implantation remains validation of multicenter and perspective studies.High incidence of restenosis following stent implantation requires further improvement.

An analytical method of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed for simultaneous determination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and nine phenolic compounds (including (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, chlorogenic acid, rutin, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid) in 20 min.Ten components were detected and separated successfully by Diamonsil C_(18) column (150 mm x4.6 mm, 5 μm) at wavelength of 280 nm and column temperature of 42 ℃, with acetonitrile and 3% acetic acid solution as the mobile phase in gradient elution.The resultant correlation coefficients of the ten compounds were between 0.9911 and 0.9995 with detection limit from 0.2 to 0.5 mg/L, the RSD less than 2.4% and the average recoveries from 89.4% to 98.3%.These experimental results demonstrate that 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the nine phenolic compounds in different rice wine samples can be determined with the new method for practical uses.

Objective To research the association between the prognosis of Acinetobacter baumannii infection and drug resistance among patients in the intensive care unit( ICU). Methods Eighty-four patients with Acine tobacter baumannii infection from February 2003 to April 2009 in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital ICU were retrospectively analyzed and divided into alive group(59 patients) and dead group(25 patients) by using 30-day mortality. The impact of drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii on mortality was assessed by binary logistic regression. Results The mortality of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii infection was related to age, haematological malignancy, the Chanson Comorbidity Index, APACHEII score, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDRAB) , carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB ) , septic shock and antimicrobial inappropriate therapy by univariate analysis( P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression revealed that CRAB( OR = 3. 360,95%CI: 1. 563 ～7.223,P< 0.05)and the Charison Comorbidity Index( OR = 1. 633,95% CI: 1. 201 ～2. 221 ,P <0.05) were independent risk factors. Conclusions The prognosis of Acinetobacter baumannii infection was closely correlated with drug resistance. The patients with CRAB infection had a higher mortality.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the SF-36 health survey questionnaire used to investigate the quality of life (QOL) of the patients undergoing tibial bone transport.Methods Reliability analysis,correlation analysis and validity analysis were performed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the SF-36 scale.According to treatment time,94 patients who underwent tibial bone transport were divided into 3 groups:group A were 30 patients who had just started bone transport,group B 43 patients who had completed bone transport and removal of external fixation within 2 years,and group C 21 patients who had completed bone transport and removal of external fixation beyond 2 years.A mean comparison of items in the SF-36 scale was further carried out.Results The questionnaires were completed well.The Chonbach α indexes of all the items were more than 0.8,showing good reliability of the scale.Most of the correlation coefficients were almost or more than 0.5,indicating acceptable content validity of the scale.The QOL of the patients undergoing tibial bone transport was differentiated from that of normal people,proving good discriminant validity of the scale.Groups B and C obtained significantly better scores in all items of the scale than group A (P ＜ O.05).Group C scored significantly higher in physical functioning (PF) and role-emotional (RE) than group B (P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding other items of the scale (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions With good reliability and validity,the SF-36 health survey questionnaire can be used to assess the QOL of the patients undergoing tibial bone transport.The treatment of bone transport in the tibia can significantly and durably help improve the QOL of the patients.

Exosome is nanoscale vesicles with bilayer membrane structure, is secreted by multiple living cells in vivo, capable of carrying biological materials such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids etc.Exosome can protect the information material (such as miRNA), which is easy to be inactivated or degraded in the circulatory system, so that they can be safely transferred to the specific target cells to participate in signal regulation, and play an important role in the information transmission between cells.Exosome is widely found in human blood, urine, pleural effusion and other body fluid samples, and can provide rich, stable, sensitive and specific biological information.As a kind of liquid biopsy specimen, exosome has a very high clinical application value in the future.

Hereditary renal diseases (inherited kidney diseases) include glomerular diseases,tubular diseases and cystic diseases.The incidence of inherited kidney diseases is relatively low, but the variety of clinical insufficient understanding of the disease, the means test about inherited kidney diseases is also not standardized, easily lead to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.As the common clinical manifestation of hereditary renal disease and congenital/hereditary renal disease are mainly low blood potassium, kidney stones, polyuria, growth retardation, and may develop renal failure without treatment.Therefore, clinicians should pay special attention to the diagnosis of congenital/hereditary renal disease, and early interventions are recommended.
