Objective:
To explore the hemorrhagic transformation(HT) and its effect on prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS) after mechanical thrombectomy(MT).
Methods:
A total of 114 patients with AIS received MT were enrolled. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the clinical outcome at 90 days of onset(0-2 points were good prognosis; 3-6 points were poor prognosis). The patients were divided into HT group(n=25) and non-HT group(n=89) according to their HT conditions. Binomial Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the vascular risk factors of HT after MT and the effect of HT on prognosis.
Results:
Among 114 patients, there were 25 cases of HT and 89 cases of non HT. The proportion of patients with diabetes in HT group was significantly higher than that in non-HT group. The NIHSS score of HT group at discharge was significantly higher than that in non-HT group. The proportion with good prognosis at 90 days in HT group was significantly lower than that in non-HT group(allP<0.05). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, high levels of cholesterol and smoking were the major vascular risk factors for HT after thrombectomy(allP<0.05). HT was an important factor affecting the poor prognosis after arterial thrombectomy(P=0.026).
Conclusion
Diabetes, high levels of cholesterol and smoking are the main risk factors of HT after MT for AIS. HT is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis after MT.

Objective To evaluate FIB-NLR,a combined neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and fibrinogen concentration (FIB) in predicting the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).Methods Data of 79 GIST patients who underwent surgery from Jun 2010 to Dec 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into 3 groups:NLR < 2.30 and FIB < 3.85 g/L were defined as group 0,NLR≥2.30 and FIB <3.85 g/L or NLR <2.30 and FIB≥3.85 g/L as group 1,NLR≥2.30 and FIB≥3.85 g/L as group 2.The clinicopathological features of the three groups and the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate after surgery were compared.Results FIB concentration and NLR were significantly correlated with NIH risk grade and tumor size in GIST patients (x2 =9.517,12.41 1,6.081,20.067,all P < 0.05).FIB-NLR was closely related to tumor size,tumor risk and tumor mitosis (x2 =14.406,12.514,28.225,all P < 0.05).Survival analysis showed that high FIB predicts lower 5-year recurrence-free survival rate,it was 87.4% for group 0,60.8% for group 1,21.1% for group2,x2 =29.617,P<0.000).Conclusion FIB-NLR independently predicts the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
