Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using alteplase for intravenous thrombolysis combined with vascular intervention for treatment of patients with acute intracranial large arterial occlusion.Methods Clinical data of 7 patients with acute intracranial large arterial occlusion treated by using alteplase for intravenous thrombolysis combined with intravascular intervention admitted to Department of Neurosurgery in Affiliated Hospital of the Logistics University of Cinese People's Armed Police Force from July 2015 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 7 patients were treated by alteplase dry powder (50 mg or 20 mg each ampule),solvent dose was 0.9 mg/kg,the maximum dose being < 90 mg,firstly 10% dose was intravenously injected,and the remaining dose was continuously infused into a vein in 60 minutes,during or after intravenous thrombolysis,digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed immediately,and according to the results of the angiography,at least one of the 3 kinds of intravascular mechanical intervention therapy,thrombectomy,balloon dilatation or stent placement,were chosen,and 24 hours after surgery,the anti-platelet aggregation drug and calcium channel antagonists were given,The effect of interventional therapy was analyzed,and the clinical outcome of 90-day treatment was evaluated.Results The mean age of the patients was (60.0 ± 12.6) years.Seven patients all successfully completed the treatment,and satisfactory re-canalization was achieved [they all obtained grade 3 or 2b in accord with the gradation of Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia Scale (TICI)] in all the 7 cases (100%),after treatment,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was significantly lower than that before treatment (5.86 ±4.10 vs.19.71 ± 5.56,P <0.01).Clinical outcome of 90-day follow up was excellent [Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-2] in 3 cases (42.8%).Conclusion Using alteplase for intravenous thrombolysis combined with endovascular intervention for treatment of patients with acute intracranial large arterial occlusion can achieve good re-canalization rate.

Objective To explore the efficacy of ultra-early stent-assisted coil (SAC) in the treatment of intracranial rupture of wide- necked aneurysms. Methods The angiographic and clinical data of 24 patients (including 8 male, 16 female, age ranged from 29 to 86 years, with a median age 59) with acutely ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms treated with SAC were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative complications and clinical results were observed. The postoperative embolization was assessed according to the Raymond grading standard. The assessment of the follow-up results from 6 to 12 months after procedure was observed according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. Results Procedure-related complications occurred in 3 patients (12.5%). All of them were hemorrhagic events, of which 2 cases died. Perioperative death was found in 3 cases. Of the 19 surviving patients, 17 showed good recovery (mRS 0-2). After 6 to 12 months of DSA, no recurrence of aneurysm was found in 10 follow-up patients. Conclusion Ultra-early stent-assisted coil treatment for intracranial wide-neck rupture aneurysm can improve the success rate of embolization and reduce the recurrence.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravesical instillation of BCG vaccine in the prevention of early recurrence of middle and high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.Methods From July 2015,patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer aged 18-75 years with informed consent were screened and underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).Immediately intravesical instillation of epirubicin 50 mg was given postoperatively.After pathology was comfirmed,patients was enrolled in group 1 (BCG15) or group 2 (BCG 19) or the control group (epirubicin 18) randomly with SAS 9.3 software.Data of follow-up and Adverse event was collected and analyzed.Results By May 31,2019,531 patients were enrolled in the study.The drop-off rate was 20.1%.167 patients (143 males and 24 females)in group 1,172 patients (141 males and 31 females)in group2 and 84(75 males and 9 females) in the control group with follow-up data were analyzed.There were no significant differences in age,gender,BMI,ECOG score,risk stratification between the three groups (P =0.8641,P =0.2906,P =0.9384,P =0.6126).The median follow-up time makes no statistical difference between the groups (P =0.9251),12.0 (6.0,22.5) months,13.0 (6.0,22.3) months,and 13.0 (7.0,22.3) months.The median recurrence time of the three groups was 4.0 (3.0,6.0) months,4.5 (3.0,9.8) months,4.5 (3.0,8.8) months.There was no statistical difference between the three groups (P =0.2852).Risk stratification in the patients got no significant difference between the three groups (P > 0.05).The 1-year recurrence-free survival rates were 80.0% in the group 1 and 88.3% in the group 2 and 73.7% in the control group.The group 2 was superior to the group 1 and the control group (P =0.0281,P =0.0031).There was no significant difference between group 1 and control group (P =0.2951).There was no significant difference in the cumulative recurrence-free survival between the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 2,(95% CI 0.80-2.43,P =0.2433).The cumulative recurrence-free survival in the group 1 and the group 2 was better than the control group (95 % CI 0.31-0.92,P =0.0266;95 % CI 0.20-0.65,P =0.0008).All the cases underwent instillation were analyzed for adverse events.The incidence of overall AE(adverse events) in group 1 was 68.5% (152/222),the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ AE was 53.2% (118/222),the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE was 15.3% (32/222).The incidence of overall AE in the group 2 was 71.8% (160/223),the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ AE was 60.1% (134/223),and the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE was 11.7% (26/223).The overall AE rate in the control group was 53.2% (59/111),of which the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ AE was 42.4% (47/111),and the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE was 10.8% (12/111).There was no difference in the incidence of overall AE between the group 1 and the group 2 (P =0.4497).The incidence of AE in the two experimental groups was higher than that in the control group (P =0.0062,P =0.0008).There was no difference in the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE between the three groups (P =0.3902).Conclusions BCG(19 instillation schedule) has a better effect on preventing recurrence after 1 year of bladder surgery,which is superior to epirubicin group.The long-term efficacy of BCG in preventing recurrence and the efficacy of different schedules need to be further followed up.The lower urinary tract symptoms,which are mainly urinary frequency,are one of the causes of case fallout and should be fouced in future.Compared with epirubicin,BCG perfusion does not increase the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ adverse reactions,and is safe to use.
