ObjectiveTo study the efficacy and safety of intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) on hyperacute cerebral infarction. Methods41 patients with the supra-early acute cerebral infarction were divided into two groups: thrombolytic group (n=21) and control group (n=20). They were evaluated with European Stroke Scale (ESS) and Barthel Index before and 24 h, 21 d, 90 d after treatment. ResultsThe scores of the thrombolytic group showed more efficacious than that of the control groups (P<0.05). One patient suffered from cerebral hemorrhage in thrombolytic group, however his prognosis was good. There was no death in both groups. ConclusionThrombolytic therapy with rt-PA in the hyperacute cerebral infarction shows positive effect and safety.

The application of Toric intraocular lens (IOL) provides an opportunity for patients who want to remove cataract and correct astigmatism at the same time.In order to optimize the postoperative result and minimize the residual astigmatism, the accurate preoperative measurement and calculation of Toric IOL are crucial.To improve the accuracy, different astigmatism measurement devices with various advantages have been introduced into clinical practice one after another.Knowing the principle, advantages and disadvantages of the devices contributes to personalized selection of devices according to the patient's condition.Manual keratometer is still the gold standard tool for measuring curvature, and corneal topography is used to assess whether the corneal astigmatism is regular.Most devices can provide reliable corneal data for Toric IOL calculation, and it is recommended that at least three different devices should be used to enhance the prediction accuracy preoperatively.The posterior corneal astigmatism, which has an effect on the measurement and calculation of Toric IOL, has been attracting more attention of ophthalmologists.With high accuracy and strong applicability, Barrett Toric Calculator is preferred in Toric IOL calculation.Moreover, various Toric calculators and formulas can give stable and accurate results after modification and optimization.In this article, the effects of various corneal curvature measurement devices, posterior corneal astigmatism and Toric calculator on Toric IOL measurement and calculation were reviewed.

Diffuse lower-grade glioma is a diversified group of infiltrative brain tumors comprising WHO grades II and III astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and mixed oligoastrocytomas. These tumors exhibit a wide range of clinical heterogeneity;thus, histopathological classification does not adequately predict clinical outcomes. In recent years, a number of molecular markers closely related to the clini-cal features and prognosis of gliomas have been discovered. These molecular markers include isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) muta-tion, chromosome 1p/19q codeletion, ATRX mutation, TERT promoter mutation, and MGMT promoter methylation. Furthermore, nu-merous studies focusing on the integrated molecular classification of diffuse lower-grade gliomas combined with these molecular markers have been conducted. Results indicate that integrated molecular pathological classification can improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy and facilitate therapeutic formulation. This paper reviews the research progress on integrated molecular classifica-tion of diffuse lower-grade gliomas.

Objective To explore the effects of 4-phenylbutyric acid(PBA) on cognitive dysfunction after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion and underlying mechanisms.Methods 62 male Sprague Dawley rats in clean degree were divided into sham group(n=14),chronic cerebral ischemia group(bilateral carotid arteries occlusion,2VO group,n=24),and chronic cerebral ischemia with PBA treatment(2VO+PBA group,n=24).The chronic cerebral ischemia models were produced by the occlusion of bilateral common caroid artery for 1 month.During the hypoperfusion,the rats were injected intraperitoneally with 11.25 mg · ml-1 PBA(90 mg · kg-1 · d-1) or equal volume of saline once a day for 3 days followed by every other day for 27 days.Learning and memory abilities were tested by Morris water maze and novel object recognition test.The expression and distribution of NR2A in hippocampus were examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results Morris water maze test showed that the 2VO group had significantly longer latent time than sham group in searching platform (P＜0.01) (from 2nd day to 7th day latency time),and the 2VO+PBA group had dramatically shorter latent time than 2VO group (2nd,5th,6th,7th (P＜0.01),3rd(P＜0.05)).Then the rats' memory test showed that 2VO group spent markedly longer time than sham group to reach the location of the former platform(P＜0.01),but the 2VO+PBA group spent dramatically shorter latent time than 2VO group (P＜0.01).The novel object recognition test showed the exploration ratio and discrimination index of novel object in 2VO group were noticeably smaller than that in sham group (P＜0.01),but the exploration ratio and discrimination index of novel object in 2VO+PBA group were noticeably higher than that in 2VO group (P＜0.01).The Western blot data showed that the level of NR2A in 2VO group was significantly lower than that in sham group (P＜0.01),but the level of NR2A in 2VO+PBA group was significantly higher than that in 2VO group (P＜0.05).The level of NR2B in hippocampus of 2VO group had no significant difference with sham group and 2VO+PBA group (P＞0.05).Immunohistochemistry data was consistent with the data of Western blot for NR2A level and distribution.The ratio of p-CREB/total CREB in 2VO group(0.62±0.04) was remarkably lower than that in sham group(1.00±0.07),but the ratio of p-CREB/total CREB in 2VO+PBA group(0.97±0.07) was remarkably higher than that in 2VO group(P＜0.01).Conclusion NR2A reduction is associated with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairment,which is rescued by the PBA treatment.It suggests that PBA may have a therapeutic effect on preventing chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the natural history of mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in a period of 15 years and search for the risk factors of progress as well as to recommend the modification program of school screening for scoliosis. Methods From a group of 204 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who were detected from school screening for scoliosis among 20 418 school children in Beijing from May 1985 to January 1986, 90 of the patients were reevaluated 15 years later. The follow-up items of the therapeutic history, physical examination and standing spinal X-ray films were carried out. The late data were compared statistically with the original data at the time of school screening. The final results were divided into four groups: 1)Resolved group with a current curve less than 10 degrees; 2)Reduced group with a current curve more than 10 degrees but reducing less than 5 degrees regarding to the original status; 3)Unchanged group with a current curve more than 10 degrees while progressing less than 5 degrees compared to the original data; 4)Progressed group with a current curve was more than 10 degrees and aggravating more than 5 degrees than the original curve. Results Of 204 patients, 111 patients were followed up, and X-ray films were taken in 90. The follow-up results suggested that 29 cases showed resolved(32.2%), 21 cases reduced (23.3%), 30 cases unchanged (33.3%) and 10 cases progressed (11.1%). In 10 cases of progressed group, there were 8 females and 2 males, furthermore, 6 patients were found with the cobbs angle of curve between 10 and 19 degrees and 4 patient with the cobbs angle of curve more than 20 degrees when school screening. The curve pattern of the 10 progressed patients consisted of double thoracic curves in 2, double thoracic and lumbar curves in 2, right thoracic curve in 3, thoraco-lumbar curve in 2 and lumbar curve in 1. Conclusion Most of cases with less than 20 degrees curve are of no progress. The high risks of progress are as followed: curve more than 20 degrees, female, double thoracic curve, double thoracolumbar curve, right thoracic scoliosis and top vertebral rotation more than grade Ⅱ. The school screening for scoliosis should be carried out by school medical team who were trained by orthopaedists. The specialists should reexamine the suspected children and monitor the patients with high risk of progress.
