Objective To investigate the correlation between thyroid antibody level and carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled retrospectively.They were divided into a non-plaque group and a plaque group according to the findings of carotid artery color-Doppler ultrasonography.The plaque group was redivided into a stable plaque subgroup and a non-stable plaque subgroup.Chemiluminescence method was used to measure the serum thyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) levels and they were compared.Results A total of 383 patients were enrolled in the study,including 116 (30.3％) did not have plaque and 267 (69.7％) had plaque,68 of them had unstable plaque,and 199 had stable plaque.The level of TGAb in the plaque group was significantly higher than that in the non-plaque group (Z =-4.826,P ＜0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the level of TGAb might be an independent risk factors for carotid plaque (odds ratio 1.007,95％ confidence interval 1.001-1.012;P =0.016).The serum level of TPOAb in the stable plaque group was significantly higher than that in the unstable plaque group (Z =-2.114,P=0.035),but multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that it was not the independent risk factor for unstable plaque (odds ratio 1.001,95％ confidence interval 0.996-1.006;P =0.786).Conclusions The level of serum thyroid antibodies increased in patients with acute ischemic stroke,especially the increased level of TGAb might be associated with the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque,however,it was not associated with the plaque stability.

Radiotherapy has been an effective non surgical treatment for brain metastases.While the benefit of survival was achieved,the potential cognitive impairment caused by radiotherapy gradually arouse people's attention.To improve patient's prognosis,ensuring tumor control and caring patients' quality of life and neurocognitive functions should be weighed equally.This article reviews the related research on the neurocognitive protection of brain metastasis radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and factors of recurrence of abdominal wall endometrioms ( AWE). Methods 19 cases of AWE diagnosed at Shaoxing People' s Hospital from January 2005 to April 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Results All patients had a history of cesarean section. Eleven patients (57.9%) had the typical complaint of an enlarging mass and pain during menstruation. All patients received surgical excision and postoperative adjuvant therapy of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) or Mifepristone treatment for 6 months. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination in all patients. At follow- up, ranging from 1 month to 3 years, there was 1 case of recurrence of endometrioms during a follow -up of 2 years. Conclusion AWE could be diagnosed easily by its typical clinical manifestations preoperatively. Sonography or MRI may be helpful in identifying the exact anatomical location of the lesion and in excluding other surgical conditions, however it lacks specificness. Surgical excision is the only effective treatment, and complete and wide local excision is the key point to prevent recurrence. Combination surgical excision with postoperative adjuvant therapy might reduce the recurrence, although its effectiveness need being testified in the future.

Objective To study the clinical and imaging characteristics of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Methods Clinical data of 9 cases with CVST were retrospectively analyzed.Results All patients had headache,nausea and vomiting; 5 patients had epilepsy; 3 patients had focal neurological deficits; 3 patients had fever; 3 patients had palilledema; 3 patients had disturbance of consciousness. CSF examination showed prominent high intracranial pressure, but conventional and biochemical examinations were normal. 8 patients did CT scan, but the diagnosis was not clear. All patients first MRI showed venous sinus and related brain areas long T1 and T2 signal; MRV showed that the involved venoussinus had non-visualized signal. MRI in chronic phase showed slightly higher T1 and T2 signal; MRV showed sinus enhancement.The outline of uncomplete reconalzation was unclear. Conclusions The common high intracranial pressure is unspecific sign and symptom of patients with CVST. CSF examination show that the intracranial pressure is prominent high, but conventional and biochemical examination are normal. MRI can show that the normal flow void of the dural sinus is disappeared, instead of abnormal high or equality intensities. The characters of CVST in MRV are those the blood flow signal of involved venous sinus be disappeared or showed anormalism.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Calcitriol soft capsules combined with Telmisartan tab-lets in the treatment of early diabetic nephropathy(DN),and the effect on the levels of inflammatory factors. METHODS:Totally 110 patients with early DN were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The control group was orally given Telmisartan tablets with the initial dose of 40 mg,qd,and the maximum dose was 80 mg,qd;the observation group was orally giv-en Calcitriol soft capsules 0.25μg based on the treatment of control group,qd. The course was 1 month. The clinical data was com-pared,including the clinical efficacy and 24 h urinary protein,serum creatinine(Scr),urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER),se-rum C reactive protein (CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were observed. RESULTS:After treatment,the total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than con-trol group,with significant difference (P<0.05);the 24 h urinary protein,Scr,UAER,and levels of CRP,TNF-α and IL-6 in observation group were significantly lower than control group and before treatment,with significant differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Calcitriol soft capsules combined with Telmisartan tablets has better efficacy than only Telmisartan tablets in the treatment of DN,and can more effectively improve the levels of CR, TNF-αand IL-6,which is helpful to delay progression of patients.

Objective To establish an effective method for inducing mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells(MNCs) to differentiate into hepatocytes.Methods MNCs were isolated by gradient density centrifugation,and the cells were cultured in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's medium supplemented with 10 % new bovine serum(NBS),20 ng/ml hepatocyte growth factor(HGF),10 ng/ml fibroblast growth factor-4(FGF-4) and 10 ng/ml oncostatin m(OSM) for 21 days' induction.The medium was changed every 3 days.Results When MNCs were cultured with HGF,FGF-4 and OSM,cuboidal morphology was observed,and cells also expressed marker genes specific for liver cells in a time-dependent manner.?-fetoprotein(AFP) and cytokeratin 19(CK19) were expressed on the day 7,and CK18 and TAT were detected on the day 14-21,in common with the immunofluoresence results.Differentiated cells further demonstrated these cells also acquired functional characteristics of hepatocytes.Conclusion Mouse MNCs can differentiate into hepatocytes when induced by HGF,FGF-4 and OSM.
