Mild stroke refers to ischemic stroke with mild neurological defects.In recent years,its incidence rate has increased gradually.However,there is no standardized definition for mild stroke,and there is a great controversy about whether to conduct thrombolytic therapy for mild stroke.The conventional wisdom holds that the patients with mild stroke should not be treated with intravenous thrombolysis;however,many studies have indicated that the short-term and medium-term outcomes are poor in patients with mild stroke without receiving thrombolytic therapy,and many patients with mild stroke may benefit from thrombolytic therapy.This article summarizes about the definition of mild stroke and the clinical studies of thrombolytic therapy in recent years,hoping to provide reference for clinicians in order to make better clinical decisions.

Objective To observe the characterization of fat emboli in cardiac chamber in pig model and the patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty(THA) by transesophageal echocardiography(TEE). Methods Different dose of fatty liquid was injected slowly via the internal jugular vein. The changes of the image were observed by continuous TEE. The lethal dose of fat embolism was recorded. Twenty-two patients underwent TEE during THA. Gray scale and echo intensity of fat embolism in right atrium were studied quantitatively in varied periods of the operation. Results With the increase of fat liquid injected in pig model, the strong- echo particles in right atrium and ventricle became more and more, the imaging of the particles was from “moving star”, “shower-like” to “snow fluffy”, at last paradoxical fat embolism occurred when the dose of fat liquid was over 4 ml. The accumulated lethal dose of fat embolism was 15.8 ~ 27.8 ml.②Fat emboli appeared as strong- echo particles in right atrium were found in different period of THA. Average gray scale and echo intensity of emboli in right atrium were significantly higher in period B than in other periods during THA. Conclusions Fat emboli in cardiac chamber can be found sensitively by TEE. Intra-operative monitoring and quantitative analysis is helpful to identifying fat embolism syndrome.Paradoxical embolism is a reliable evidence of fat embolism syndrome.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperacute intensive antihypertensive treatment on the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia region. Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,100 patients with intracerebral hematoma in basal ganglia region (onset ≤3 h)at the Neurological Intensive Care Unit,the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were enrolled prospectively. They all randomly received the intensive antihypertensive or standard antihypertensive treatment voluntarily. They were divided into either an intensive antihypertensive group or a standard antihypertensive group according to the random number table (n = 50 in each group). Within 1 h after beginning to treatment,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 130 -140 mmHg in the intensive antihypertensive group,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 160 -180 mmHg in the standard antihypertensive group,and the target systolic blood pressure was maintained respectively in the following 7 d. Head CT was performed gain at 24 h after treatment. The intracranial hematoma expansion was evaluated. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)and the modified Rankin scale (mRS)were used to
evaluate their prognoses. The differences of the cumulative mortality in both groups were compared at the same time. Results The incidences of hematoma expansion of the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 12. 0% (6/ 50)and 30. 0% (15/ 50)respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 4. 882,P = 0. 027). There were no significant differences in NIHSS scores within or between both groups at each time points (all P > 0. 05). They were followed up for 90 d,no adverse events occurred in both groups. The favorable prognosis rates of the neurological function were 36. 0% (18 / 50)and 18. 0% (9 / 50)respectively in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0. 411,P =0. 043). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the cumulative mortality at 24 h,within 7 d and 90 d in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 4. 0% (2 / 50),6. 0%(3 / 50),and 10. 0% (5 / 50),respectively,those of the standard antihypertensive group were 10. 0%(5 / 50),24. 0%(12 / 50),and 30. 0%(15 / 50),respectively. The results of Log-rank test found that there was significant difference in cumulative mortality between the 2 groups (χ2 =6.280,P =0.012). Conclusions The intensive antihypertensive treatment in the hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage is safe and feasible in basal ganglia region. It contributes to improve prognosis of neurological function,and reduce the incidence of hematoma expansion and the 90 d cumulative mortality.
