Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;3(10):450-453
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging in patients with cerebral infarction and to explore the values of diagnosis and predicting prognosis of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with cerebral infarction in different stages. Methods: Forty patients with cerebral infarction in different stages and 40 healthy volunteers were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including conventional T1 and T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging and DTI. Fractional anisotropy (FA) images were reconstructed. The values of FA and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were measured in the infarcted regions, corresponding contralateral normal regions and corresponding normal regions in normal control group. Results: DTI showed that the size of infarction foci was more accurate and clearer than that of the conventional MRI. The FA values of the infarcted regions, infarcted ipsilateral posterior limb of internal capsule, cerebral peduncle, and corticospinal tract in cerebral infarction group were 0.12 ± 0.01, 0.29 ± 0.03, 0.36 ± 0.12 and 0.35 ± 0.04, respectively. They were lower than those in the contralateral corresponding regions 0.35 ± 0.08, 0.50 ± 0.13, 0.53 ± 0.14 and 0.56 ± 0.07, and they all had significant differences (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the ADC and FA values at the uninjured sides in patients with cerebral infarction as compared with the corresponding regions in the normal control group (P > 0.05). The FA and ADC values in brain tissues changed regularly with the time of infarction after cerebral infarction. The FA values in the affected sides had no consistent changes as compared with the contralateral sides in the superacute phase. They increased or decreased slightly, then (during acute stage, subacute stage and chronic stage) decreased irreversibly; the ADC values in the affected sides changed with time regularly; they decreased significantly; then gradually returned to normal, and after that increased again. Conclusion: DTI examination contributes to the diagnosis of cerebral infarction. The combination of the ADC and FA values may more accurately conduct clinical stage and evaluate the time of the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

Objective To observe the relationship between the changes of plasma D dimer in pathogenic course and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods Changes in plasma D dimer levels of 93 patients with ACI and 20 cases healthy persons were detected dynamically by Latex semi quantitative method. The relation between D dimer levels and focus size, severity of infarction and prognosis were analyzed. Results There was significant difference( P

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the changes of interleukin-6(IL-6) contents in serum and urine in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS).Methods The contents of IL-6 in serum and urine in 38 cases of PNS were exa-(mined) by ELISA before and after treatment with prednisone 2 mg/(kg?d) for 8 weeks.Results Before the treatment with prednisone,the contents of IL-6 in serum in steroid-responsive group and steroid-resistant group were significantly higher than those in the normal controls(P0.05).In the steroid-responsive group and steroid-resistant group,the levels of IL-6 in urine were significantly higher than those in the normal controls(P0.05).The contents of IL-6 in steroid-resistant group in serum and urine had significant difference in the comparison with the normal controls(P

Objective To improve the accuracy of diagnosis of the greater omentum blunt trauma(GOBT)by analyzing the MSCT findings and pathological features.Methods The MSCT appearances of 5 1 cases of GOBT with operation and (or)pathological con-firmed were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were underwent MSCT plain scan in whole abdomen.Two experienced radiolo-gists blinded to the clinical diagnosis,reached a diagnosis from the MSCT findings by two ways of plain and plain joint post-process-ing MSCT images.The detection rates of GOBT were compared by two-related-samples Fisher exact probability chi-square test.Re-sults Fifty-one cases of GOBT were distributed over the intestine,in the superior abdominal cavity,the left and the right abdominal cavity,those cases were 27,18,3 and 3 respectively.The MSCT findings of GOBT mainly consist of greater omentum(GO)streak-ing,GO hematoma and fluid around GO.Those detectable rates were 80.3%,68.6%and 90.2 % respectively.The accuracy in di-agnosis of GOBT with MSCT was 94.1%(48/51)in our study.The detection rate of GOBT by two ways was significant (P=0.04).The detection rate of GOBT was increased obviously by the way of plain joint post-processing MSCT images.Conclusion MSCT manifestations of GOBT has some characteristics.A more accurate diagnosis of GOBT could be made according to the MSCT findings by plain joint post-processing MSCT images.

Objective To analyze and discuss the clinical effect of sequential radiotherapy and chemotherapy in 40 patients with advanced gastric cancer after operation.Methods 80 postoperative gastric cancer patients who received sequential radiotherapy and chemotherapy in our hospital were prospectively analyzed.According to the order of admission,80 patients were divided into two groups,40 cases of the control group(chemotherapy)and 40 cases of the observation group(sequential chemotherapy).The clinical effects of the two groups were compared.Results In the observation group,1 year survival rate and 2-year survival rate(77.50%,47.50%)were higher than those in the control group(50.00%,25.00%),there were statistically significant differences between the two groups(x2=19.20,32.65,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions of the control group was 12.50%,which was lower than 30.00% of the observation group,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(x2=9.15,P<0.05).The mortality rate of the observation group was 32.50%,which was lower than 45.00% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.29,P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the simple chemotherapy after the operation of gastric cancer,sequential radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively improve the clinical efficacy,significantly reduce the rate of postoperative metastasis and recurrence of gastric cancer,and it is worthy of promoting.
