Objective To explore the relationship between the early stage HbA1c level and two-year prognosis in the patients with first time onset of acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 513 inpa-tients with first time AIS in this hospital during 2018-2019 were selected as the study subjects.The clinical data,biochemical indicators and discharge situation were collected.The multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse reactions outcome within 2 years.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the all-cause mortality and stroke recurrence situation within 2 years.Results The sex,age,TOAST type,,diseases history such as diabetes,arrhythmia and coronary heart disease,medication history such as antidiabetic drugs,lipid-lowering drugs and anticoagulants,BMI,Urea,Crea,ALT,SBP,fasting blood glucose(FBG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),HDL-C,NIHSS score at admission,discharge mode,NIHSS score at discharge,hospitalization duration and hospitalization costs had statistical difference a-mong the patients with different HbA1c levels(P＜0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HbA1c＞7.4％was the independent risk factor for adverse outcome within 2 years(OR=4.470,95％CI:1.105-18.087,P=0.036).The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the survival time within 2 years had statistical difference among the patients with different HbA1c levels(P=0.009).The higher the HbA1c level,the shorter the survival time.Conclusion The high HbA1c level has the influence on the stroke recurrence and all-cause mortality within 2 years in the patients with first onset occurrence of AIS.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of narrow band imaging (NBI) international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) classification in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic colorectal polyps during routine clinical practice. Methods A total of 224 lesions detected by white light colonoscopy by non-expert endoscopists were collected in this retrospective study. Each lesion was assessed by NBI and classified by NICE classification. The results were compared with pathological findings from endoscopic or surgical resected specimen. Results Among these 224 polyps, there were 59 of type 1, 159 of type 2 and 6 of type 3 according to NICE classification. There were 58 non-tumorous and 166 tumorous polyps according to pathological diagnosis. The total diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of NICE classification for colorectal tumor were 91. 6%, 77. 6%, 92. 1%,76. 3%and 87. 9%, respectively.Diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy in big (＞10 mm in diameter), small (＞5-10 mm in diameter) and mini (≤5 mm in diameter) polyp groups were 100. 0%, 97. 0% and 80. 9%, as well as 95. 7%, 87. 8%, and 83. 3%, respectively. Diagnostic accuracy showed a decreasing tendency on polyp size, without significant difference between the three groups ( P＝0. 694). Conclusion NICE classification with non-magnified NBI is effective in distinguishing neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal polyps by non-expert endoscopists and is potentially worth popularizing for routine clinical practice.
