1.Effects of Edaravone on the levels of hs-CRP and D-dimer in Patients with Acute Cerebral infarction
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(17):2316-2317
Objective To investigate the effects of edaravone on the levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and D-dimer in patients with acute ischemic cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 86 patients with acute ischemic cerebral infarction were randomly divided and assigned into therapy group and control group. The control group was given a routine treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The therapy group was treated with edaravone in addition to the routine treatment. hs-CRP and D-dimer were measured before and after treatment. Barthel index(BI) and Chinese stroke Scale(CSS) of two groups were assessed before treatment and after treatment. Results The levels of hs-CRP and D-dimer were deceased after treatment. After the start of edaravone ,the levels of hs-CRP and D-dimer of therapy group were significantly lower than those of control group(P <0.05). The scores of CSS and BI of two groups improved after treatment,and scores of CSS and BI of the therapy group were better than those of the control group(P< 0.05). Conclusion Edaravone could decrease the levels of hs-CRP and D-dimer and is beneficial to improve neurofunctional recovery.

Objective To investigate clinical value of levels of CA125 and LPA as a panel for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.Methods The levels of two tumor markers(CA125 and LPA)in serum were determined in 76 patients with ovarian cancer,35 patients with benign tumor and 29 healthy control.Results The results showed that the levels of two tumor markera in ovarian cancer patients were significantly higher than those in benign tumor patients and controls(P<0.05).Butuo siguificant difforences was loud betwcen benigutumor patient and coatrols.Conclusion Combined detection of the two markers represent a potential biomarker for diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer because of its diagnostic accuracy in ovarian cancer case.
