1.Progress in studies on the relationship between body weight and stroke occurrence and prognosis
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2016;10(3):233-236
Overweight or obesity is a risk factor for many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Overweighed people have higher risk of stroke occurrence. However the relationship between stroke patient prognosis and body weight is controversial. Based on many studies, there are currently two opposite opinions. One believes that the body weight higher than normal is associated with more adverse effects with regard to stroke patient prognosis, including stroke recurrence, functional recovery and risk of death. The opposite opinion believes that the body weight higher than normal is protective in stroke patients. The present article reviews the relationship between body weight and stroke occurrence and prognosis, in order to provide guidance and reference for weight management of stroke patients during their rehabilitation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of anthracycline and taxane combination regimen in the treatment of advanced breast cancer in patients who were previously treated with anthracycline and taxane.Methods Twenty-six patients who previously failed to respond to anthracycline and taxane based chemotherapy received pemetrexed and tegafur combination regimen (pemetrexed:500 mg/m2,ivgtt on the first day; tegafur:80 mg/(m2 · d),twice daily during day 1-14).The regimen was repeated at least two cycles of three weeks each and the clinical response was recorded at two weeks after treatment.Results Of the 26 patients,he tumor control rate was 65.3% (17/26),and the overall response rate was 46.2% (12/26),including 3 patients with complete remission and 9 patients with partial remission.The symptoms were stable in 5 patients and improved in 9 patients.There was no severe complications or death observed.The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were myelosuppression,nausea,vomitting,rash and hepatic function impairment.Conclusion Pemetrexed combined with tegafur in the treatment of patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer who did not respond to anthracycline and taxane treatment is effective with minimal adverse reactions and can be tolerated by patients.

Objective To evaluate the value of real-time enhanced-ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of hepatic tumor. Methods Twenty-nine patients with 34 hepatic solid lesions were examined by real-time EUS,including 16 primary liver malignant tumors,4 metastatic liver tumors,5 focal nodular hyperplasias (FNH),and 9 hemangiomas. All the cases were confirmed by histopathology. The ultrasound unit (Esaote Megas) with real-time EUS technique was used. The contrast agent used was SonoVue (Bracco,Italy). Results After injection of SonoVue,all the lesions were variously enhanced on real-time ultrasonogram. A holistic inhomogeneous enhanced pattern with quick disappearing was mostly detected by real-time EUS in hepatic malignant tumors,a peripheral and centripetal enhanced pattern was mostly shown in hamangiomas,and a radial centrifugal enhanced pattern with homogeneity and quickly was observed in FNHs. If the lesions with enhancement in arterial phase and disappearing in portal phase after injection of SonoVue were regarded as a sign for malignant liver tumor,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of liver cancer with real-time EUS were respectively 95%(19/20),100%(14/14) and 97% (33/34). Conclusions The dynamic enhanced fashions and various enhanced features in various hepatic tumors will be reflected by real time EUS,which improves the accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of liver tumors.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis of hepatic tumors by contrast-enhanced color Doppler ultrasonography. Methods Thirty-two patients with known focal liver lesions(diameter 11-112 mm,mean 43 mm) were studied with color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) before and after injection of 2.4 ml SonoVue at the concentration of 5 mg/ml. The pathological diagnosis included 13 benign lesions and 19 malignant ones. Analysis was performed on signal intensity of intratumoral vascularity,time of enhancement duration,resistant index and maximum velocity of intratumoral arterial blood flow. The data were compared between benign and malignant lesions. Results Before injection of SonoVue,intratumoral blood flow could be detected among 53.8 %(7/13) benign lesions and 78.9 %(15/19) malignant tumors. However these detection rates went up to 76.9 %(10/13) and 100%(19/19) respectively after administration of SonoVue. Significant difference between benign and malignant tumors was observed in time of enhancement duration. Furthermore RI showed significant difference between benign and malignant lesions.Diagnostic accuracy of hepatic tumors increased from 75.0 %( 24/32 ) to 90.6 %(29/32) after enhancement. Conclusions The clinical results showed the ability of contrast-enhanced CDFI in reflecting the blood supply of the hepatic tumors,demonstrating the high sensitivity and specificity of the technique,which could be of great value to the diagnosis of hepatic tumors.

BACKGROUND:Pedicle screw fixation has been used in children with thoracic injury. Conventional method is screw implantation by hand. This method can meet the needs of surgery, but its accuracy was low, and incidence of complications was high. The application of digital image navigation aid module is possible. OBJECTIVE:To study accuracy and safety of digital image navigation aid module in thoracic pedicle screw placement. METHODS:Eight thoracic vertebral bodies were equal y and randomly assigned to the manual insertion group and the digital image navigation aid module group. Manual insertion group received manual screw insertion. In the digital image navigation aid module group, navigation aid module was made according to CT scan results combined with principle of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. Pedicle screw was placed using the digital image navigation aid module. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Success rate of once screw set was significantly higher in the digital imaging navigation aid module group than in the manual insertion group (P<0.05). (2) Twenty-eight screws were implanted in the digital image navigation aid module group and manual insertion group separately. The excellent and good rate of screw placement was 96%in the digital image navigation aid module group and 75%in the manual insertion group (P<0.05). (3) These findings suggested that digital image navigation aid module can effectively improve the success rate of pedicle screw insertion. Moreover, this method is simple, easy to operate, and can make a personalized nail placement program for each child.
