1.Risk Assessment Tools for Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(12):894-897
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is an independent risk factor of stroke. About two-thirds patients with TIA will reoccur TIA or stroke. To predict the risk of stroke after the onset of TIA may identify the prognosis of patients, so as to have an intervention for the high-risk patients as early as possible. This article reviews the various risk assessment tools for stroke after TIA, in order to provide ideas for the prognostic assessment of TIA.
2.Changes of myocardial ATPase activity and plasma TNF-α concentrations in rats with acute craniocerebral injury
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2011;20(12):1259-1263
Objective To investigate the changes of myocardial ATPase activity and plasma tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF- a) levels in rats with acute craniocerebral injury (ACI).Methods Sixtyfour male SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into sham group and model group.The observation intervals were set at 2 h,6 h,24 h and 72 h after ACI (n =8,at each interval).ACI model was established in rats by free falling objects hitting skull.Plasma levels of cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ) and TNF-αwere determined by using enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).And the myocardial Na +-K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -ATPase activity changes were determined by colorimetric method.Then the pathological change of myocardium with HE staining were observed under light - microscopy.Results Plasma cTnⅠ and TNF-α levels increased (P < 0.05),while myocardial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+- ATPase activity decreased in the rats with ACI (P < 0.05 ); There was a negative correlation between myocardial Na + -K + -ATPase、Ca2 + -ATPase activity and plasma Ievels of cTnI ( r =0.357,r =0.557,P < 0.05),and positive correlation between plasma levels of TNF-α and cTnⅠ ( r =0.920,P < 0.05 ).Vacuolar degeneration and necrosis with inflammatory cell infiltrates of myocardium were observed under light -microscopy.Conclusions ACI can lead to myocardial injury,resulting in increase in plasma cTnⅠ and TNF-αand decrease in myocardial ATPase activity.Decrease in myocardial ATPase and increase in TNF-αmay involve in the pathogenesis of myocardial injury after ACI.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(9):1124-1125,1128
Objective To explore the serum lipid metabolism and immunoregulation of patients with primary nephritic syndrome (PNS) .Methods 50 PNS patients were served as the test group and 50 healthy people the control group .Automatic biochemical analyzer was utilized to detect their serum low density lipid-cholesterol (LDL-C ) ,high density lipid-cholesterol (HDL-C ) , triglyceride(TG) ,total cholesterol(TC) ,apolipoprotein(Apo)A1 ,ApoB ,and lipoprotein (a) .Immunization rate nephelometry was employed to measure their serum IgG ,IgA ,IgM ,complement C3 ,complement C4 ,CD3+ ,CD4+ ,CD8+ and CD4/CD8 .Results Compared with the control group ,serum levels of TC ,TG ,LDL-C ,ApoB ,ApoA1 ,IgM and CD4/CD8 of patients in the test group were significantly higher ,while those of HDL-C ,IgG ,complement C3 ,complement C4 ,CD3+ ,CD4+ ,CD8+ were obviously lower , with both statistically significant differences (P<0 .05) .However ,the differences of serum lipoprotein (a) and IgA between the two groups was not statistical significant(P>0 .05) .Conclusion Serum lipid level of PNS patients is higher than healthy people ,and considerable loss of Ig and complements and T cell subsets disproportion results in humoral and cellular immune dysfunction .

Paroxysmalnocturnalhemoglobinuria(PNH)isadefectdiseaseofacquiredclonal hematopoietic stem cel s. It can be expressed as hemolytic anemia, hemoglobinuria, and venous thrombosis. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but serious complication of PNH. Here we report a PNH patient with CVST and reviewthe relevant literature. For patients who have the risk factors for CVST and neurological symptoms, such as headache and increased intracranial pressure, should early conduct brain imaging examination and make the diagnosis clear, and give an active treatment in the aspects of anticoagulation, dehydration, eliminating the causes of disease, and controling complications.
