ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and progressing stroke.Methods103 patients with acute cerebral infarction within the first 24 hours from onset were tested with carotid color doppler ultrasonography during the first week from admission. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between carotid intima media thickness (IMT), plaque structure, the degree of artery stenosis and the early deterioration of cerebral infarction.ResultsPrevalence of carotid plaque and thickness of IMT in patients with progressing stroke were higher than that in non progressing patients. In logistic regression, presence of carotid plaque was independent predictors of progressing stroke. Plaque size, extent of artery stenosis and IMT were not included in the regression model.ConclusionPlaque structure and its chemical feature may be the cause of progressing stroke.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2015;38(2):126-130
Objective To explore the best plan of perioperative individualized fluid therapy in the elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Eighty elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery were divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method with 40 cases each.Conventional capcity treatment was given during surgery and postoperative period in control group.Individualized fluid therapy was used during surgery and postoperative period in intensive care unit of 24 h in experimental group,which was determined based on target controlled fluid therapy according to the cardiac index,stroke volume,and stroke volume variation.Traditional fluid therapy was used in control group in the intraoperative and postoperative period.The two groups were compared in terms of postoperative hemodynamic parameters,total fluid volume,incidence of adverse cardiac events,and recovery of gastrointestinal function.Results The mean arterial pressure at the beginning of the operation,the cardiac index at operation begining 1 h and at the end of operation were (80.4 ± 6.4) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),(4.0 ± 0.6) L/(min ·m2),(4.1 ± 0.8) L/(min ·m2) in experimental group and (76.9 ± 8.0) mmHg,(3.5 ± 0.4) L/(min· m2),(3.6 ± 0.3) L/(min · mè) in control group,and there were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05).During surgery and 24±hour stay in intensive care unit,the total fluid volume,crystal usage,urine and colloid usage were (2 915 ± 650),(2 715 ± 415),(1 515 ± 315),(1 225 ± 385),(419 ± 233),(619 ± 285),(1 015 ± 220),(1 535 ± 455) ml in experimental group and (3 645 ±770),(3 355 ±750),(2 315 ±320),(1 855 ±325),(602 ±31),(875 ±423),(805 ±250),(1 135 ± 205) ml in control group,and there were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05).The perioperative adverse cardiac events rate was 30% (12/40) in experimental group,lower than 45% (18/40) in control group,but the difference was no statistically significance (P > 0.05).Conclusion In the elderly patients with coronary artery disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery,individualized fluid therapy can effectively decrease adverse cardiac events,improve postoperative gastrointestinal function,and reduce length of hospital stay.
6.Early rapid diagnosis and rational choice of the first-line agents for acute aortic dissection in the emergency department: ses
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2015;24(10):1143-1146
Objective To explore the rapid diagnosis and the rational chice of the first-line agents for acute aortic dissection (AAD) in the emergency department.Methods The clinical data of 360 patients with AAD treated at our hospital from March 2007 to March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Of them,338 patients with suspected AAD were examined by chest radiography,trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE),and computed tomography angiography (CTA) successively.The reliabilities of results from each diagnostic method were verified by the gold standard of intra-operative findings and the comparisons of their diagnostic potential were carried out.Results The preoperative diagnostic sensitivity of chest radiography,TTE and CTA in the assessment of AAD were 64%,77% and 100%,respectively;the specificity is 86%,90% and 100%,respectively;the accuracy rats were 70%,78% and 100%,respectively;the positive predictive values were 93%,99% and 100%,respectively;the negative predictive values were 46%,27% and 100%,respectively.In the work-up of any patient with suspected AAD,the emergency bedside non-invasive TTE or computed tomography was the first-line initial diagnostic screening,and the best method for the accurate diagnosis of AAD was CTA.Medical management included pain control and deliberate hypotension therapy by using rapidly short-acting vasodilator and beta blockers to lower heart rate,and the hibernation therapy in small dose of specific agents might serve as a useful adjuvant method,and the early combination of vasodilatation medicines was better than the single one.Of them,242 patients fortunately survived on treatment,and 42 died of hypovolemic shock after rupture of AAD and multiorgan failure.Conclusions Acute aortic dissection is the most potentially life-threatening cardiovascular disease,though it is extremely rare in the hypertensive patients,attending doctors should pay more attention.Early rapid diagnosis is the key to AAD treatment.The best method for correctly diagnosing AAD is complementary use of TTE,CTA and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).Correct and timely diagnosis and strictly deliberate hypotension treatment are the essential determinant of decreasing mortality and improving prognosis of AAD.
