Objective To investigate the baseline factors that influenced prognosis after intravenous thrombolytic therapy. Methods All 82 patients received intravenous urokinase (UK) for acute ischemic stroke. The modified Rankin scale score at 90 days was dichotomized into good outcome (mRS 0-1) and poor outcome (mRS 2-6) as the primary outcome measure. Multivariable logistic regression method was used to analyze independent predictors of good outcome. Results The mRS was good in 36.6% and poor in 63.4%. Univariate analysis indicated that age, time from stroke onset to treatment, atrial fibrillation, pretreatment ESS score, baseline serum glucose, early ischemic changes on baseline CT scans and dose of UK were shown correlated significantly with mRS. However, the multivariate logistic regression did select the ESS score, time to treatment, dose of UK and serum glucose as the independent predictors of good outcome. Conclusion Pretreatment ESS score, time to treatment, dose of UK and baseline serum glucose should be independently predictive of outcome in patients with acute cerebral infarction treated by intravenous UK.

Objective To compare the difference in pharmacokinetics characteristics of vancomycin in cerebrospinal fluid between administration by continuous infusion and interim infusion.Methods Twenty postoperative patients in the Department of Neurosurgery of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University admitted into intensive care unit (ICU) to receive vancomycin for prophylaxis of intracranial infection were enrolled, and they were randomly distributed to a continuous intravenous infusion group and a interim intravenous infusion group, each group 10 cases. In continuous intravenous infusion group, the patients received a loading dose of vancomycin (15 mg/kg) by continuous intravenous pump infusion for 1 - 2 hours followed by 30 mg/kg vancomycin in a constant pump infusion rate for 24 hours; while in interim intravenous infusion group, the patients received 15 mg/kg vancomycin administered by intravenous pump infusion for 1 - 2 hours, once every 12 hours. The concentration of vancomycin in the cerebrospinal fluid at different time points was measured by two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) method, the parameters of pharmacokinetics were calculated in the two groups, and the adverse reaction was observed.Results The comparison between the ratio of areas under the concentration-time curves (AUC) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the continuous and interim groups showed no significant difference (19.7±14.0 vs. 16.1±6.4,P > 0.05). However, in the continuous intravenous infusion group, the drug concentration reached the peak value (0.96± 0.77)μg/mL at 12 hours, and later revealed a plateau concentration 0.91-0.93μg/mL for 12 hours; while in the intravenous infusion interim group, the drug concentration reached the peak value (0.92±0.47)μg/mL at 16 hours, in the later 2 hours declined to (0.84±0.45)μg/mL, and afterwards still had a tendency of persistent declination. In all the patients, no any adverse reaction related to the drug occurred.Conclusion Continuous intravenous infusion and interim intravenous infusion of vancomycin for the postoperative neurosurgical patients without intracranial infection have the similar efficacy of medication, but the former can achieve the peak concentration faster and later the fluctuation of drug concentration in cerebrospinal fluid is smaller than those in the latter.

Objective To evaluate the mechanism,prevention and prognosis of complications after stent angioplasty in the treatment of carotic artery stenosis. Methods[WT5”BZ] From 1997 to 2003,312 cases of carotid artery stenosis were treated by transluminal stent-assistant angioplasty. Results Procedure-related complication developed in 23 cases including 19 cases of transient mild complications such as transient arrhythmia and hypotension in 10 cases (3.2%) during deploying stent or balloon dilation,transient cerebral ischemia symptoms in 6 cases after balloon dilation,hypotension in 3 cases after the procedure. Severe complications occurred in 4 cases after the procedure,including embolus detachment,stent migration,carotic artery occlusion and fatal cerebral hemorrhage. Conclusion Although stent-assistant angioplasty are effective for treatment of carotid artery stenosis,severe complications could develop.

Objective: To explore the application effects of enhanced computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional reconstruction technology in the reconstruction of pediatric post-burn scars with expanded flaps. Methods: From May 2016 to March 2019, 19 children with hypertrophic scars after thermal injuries were admitted to our unit, including 10 boys and 9 girls, aged from 4 years and 5 months to 15 years and 11 months. The area of scars ranged from 5 cm×4 cm to 23 cm×9 cm. One or more skin and soft tissue expanders with suitable volume and shape were implanted into the normal skin area around scar of children. Three to six months later, enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction were performed before the second stage operation to obtain three-dimensional images of the vascular branches in the donor site for expanded flaps to be cut, so as to determine the course and distribution of the vascular branches and guide the design of expanded flaps. According to the design scheme, the resection of scar, removal of expanders, and excision and transfer of flaps were performed to repair the wounds after scar resection. The area of flaps ranged from 6 cm×4 cm to 25 cm×10 cm. The donor site was closed directly. The number of flaps was counted. The anatomical structure, vascular distribution, and adverse reactions during enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction of site for expanded flaps to be cut, the survival of expanded flaps and the follow-up after the second-stage operation were observed. Results: A total of 48 expanded flaps were designed and excised in 19 children. The anatomical structure of the site for expanded flaps to be cut and the adjacent spatial position relationship were visually observed through the three-dimensional reconstruction after enhanced CT, and no adverse reactions were observed. Arterial branch blood supply or venous return was observed in 29 sites for expanded flaps to be cut. All the expanded flaps survived well without blood supply disorder after the second stage operation. The children were followed up for 6 months to 1 year and 6 months after the second stage operation. The appearance of the flaps was natural, and the color and thickness of the flaps were similar to those of the surrounding normal skin, except for one child with obvious linear scar. Conclusions Enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction can assist the vascular assessment of the expended flaps, which is helpful for rational design of the flap excision and transfer protocol to improve the survival rate of flaps. Thus, it has certain clinical application value in the reconstruction of post-burn scar in children with expanded flaps.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between the level of thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT)/α2-plasmin inhibitor-plasmin complex (PIC) and the utilization rate of mechanical ventilation (MV) in critically ill patients. 【Methods】 For the cross-sectional study, adult patients who had been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for one day or longer and had a record of the first four tests for thrombosis were enrolled. Age, gender, the results of TAT and PIC, disseminated intravascular coagulation score, treatment, and diagnostic information were retrospectively collected from the hospital information system and laboratory information system. Logistic regression model was used to explore the relationship between TAT/PIC and the MV utilization rate. Interaction analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore whether there was any difference between patients with different age and gender, patients with/without DIC, and with/without infection. 【Results】 A total of 1 176 patients were enrolled in this study. The median of the first TAT/PIC was 15.84 (8.13-33.11) in all the patients. The multivariable Logistic regression model results showed that for every 5 increase in TAT/PIC, the possibility of using MV increased by 2.9% (OR=1.029, 95% CI: 1.008-1.050), and the possibility of using MV in Q3 patients was 1.566 times than that in Q1 patients (OR=1.566, 95% CI: 1.095-2.239); the possibility of using MV in Q4 patients was 2.457 times than that in Q1 patients (OR=2.457, 95% CI: 1.694-3.563). Interaction results showed that the relationship between the level of TAT/PIC and MV usage was different in patients with and without infection (Pinteraction=0.02). Further subgroup analysis showed that in the infected patients (674 cases), the possibility of using MV increased by 5.9% for every 5 increase in TAT/PIC (OR=1.059, 95% CI: 1.022-1.097, P=0.001), while there was no significant difference between different TAT/PIC and MV usage in non-infected patients (502 cases) (OR=1.012, 95% CI: 0.984-1.040, P=0.405). 【Conclusion】 There is a correlation between the level of TAT/PIC and mechanical ventilation in patients with infection in the ICU.
