Objective To explore the effect of patients with acute cerebral infarction and complication of acute gastric mucosal lesions (AGML) on their short-term prognoses.Methods Two hundred and sixteen patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology in Tianjin Nankai Hospital from January to December 2014 were enrolled, and they were divided into the control group without AGML (167 cases) and observation group with AGML (49 cases) according to whether AGML occurred or not. The digestive tract was monitored in the two groups, and the relationships between the incidence of AGML and the location of infarction, stroke classification, as well as the anti-thrombosis treatments like thrombolysis, anti-coagulation and anti-platelet, etc. were analyzed; the changes in scores of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission, 7 days and 14 days after onset and 14-day mortality of two groups were compared.Results AGML occurred in 49 of 216 patients (22.69%); the 14-day mortality of the observation group was obviously higher than that of the control group [6.12% (3/48) vs. 1.80% (3/167),P < 0.05], the incidence of infarction located in cerebellum, brainstem, multiple cerebral lobes, etc. (low density shadow > 1/3 hemispheres) in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [cerebellum: 18.37% (9/49) vs. 4.19% (7/167); brainstem: 24.49% (12/49) vs. 8.98% (15/167), multiple lobes: 16.33% (8/49) vs. 2.99% (5/167), all P < 0.05]; the incidence of cardiac cerebral embolism (CE) was significantly higher than that in the control group [55.10% (27/49) vs. 12.57% (21/167),P < 0.05]. With the extension of disease course, the NIHSS score of the observation group was increased, while the score of the control group was gradually reduced, and the NIHSS scores of the observation group were obviously higher than those of control group on the 7th and 14th day after onset (7 days: 18.12±4.20 vs. 10.93±6.73, 14 days: 19.33±3.11 vs. 9.66±9.15, bothP < 0.05). The thrombolysis, argatroban anti-coagulation and anti-platelet incidence between the two groups after treatments was of no statistically significant difference (the incidence in control group was 4.79%, 47.31%, 47.90%, and it was 4.08%, 44.90%, and 48.98% in observation group, allP < 0.05). Conclusion The occurrence of AGML complication in patients with acute cerebral infarction is closely related to their short-term prognoses, and when the cerebral embolus is cardiac in origin or the infarction is located at multiple cerebral lobes, brain stem or cerebellum, the probability of the occurrence of AGML is relatively high, suggesting a poor outcome.

Objective To study the effects of Buyang Huangwu decoction(BHD) on serum matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)levels and inflammatory reaction of patients with ischemic stroke accompanied by Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Methods Thirty-nine patients with acute ischemic stroke onset for 24-48 hours accompanied by Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were admitted into Nankai Hospital of Tianjin City,and in accordance with the random number table,they were divided into BHD treatment group(21 cases)and conventional western treatment control group(18 cases). The patients in both groups were given conventional western medicine,such as anti-platelet,descent of blood lipid and protection of brain. In the BDH group,the patients were additionally given BHD oral administration. Before and after treatment for 72 hours and 7 days,the changes of serum levels of MMP-9 and hs-CRP were observed in both groups. In the mean time,20 subjects having taken physical healthy examinations in outpatient clinics were assigned in the healthy control group. Results Compared to the healthy control group,before treatment the levels of MMP-9 and hs-CRP in western treatment control and BHD groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group〔MMP-9 (μg/L):403.3±32.9,417.9±45.3 vs. 86.5±6.1;hs-CRP(mg/L):7.4±0.7,6.9±0.6 vs. 2.2±0.4,all P<0.05〕. After treatment for 72 hours,the levels of MMP-9 and hs-CRP achieved their peaks,after treatment for 7 days, the levels of MMP-9 and hs-CRP were significantly lower than those at 72 hours in both groups〔the control group:MMP-9(μg/L):190.4±58.0 vs. 528.9±65.1,hs-CRP(mg/L):5.8±0.7 vs. 11.1±0.8;the BDH group:MMP-9 (μg/L):89.5±11.4 vs. 437.6±55.2,hs-CRP(mg/L):3.1±0.9 vs. 7.3±0.6,all P<0.05〕. Conclusions In patients with acute cerebral infarction,the serum levels of MMP-9 and hs-CRP are significantly increased. After conventional treatment,the levels gradually decline,and the descent in the group with addition of BHD is more remarkable,suggesting that BHD have prominent effect for treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction accompanied by Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome.

Objective To investigate the detection mode for those unpaid blood donors screening as positive HBsAg+ and/or positive anti-HCV could be permitted to recall again for re-detection under the regulation condition in order to determine whether or not regain their qualifications of donating blood and rejoin the blood donation again.Methods The unpaid blood donors preliminari-ly screening as positive HBsAg and/or positive anti-HCV in Shenzhen from Otcober 2007 to December 2013 and conforming to the rules for recalling to re-detection formulated by our center were analyzed and researched for conducting the feasibility discussion on the rejoin mode of unpaid blood donors.Results A total of 415 759 case-times of blood donation were conducted during 2007 ~2013.Among them,2 506 cases(0.60%)and 1 357 cases(0.33%)were screened as positive HBsAg or positive anti-HCV,respec-tively.The recall process of rejoin re-detection was initiated in 59 positive HBsAg donors and 16 positive anti-HCV donors with many times of blood donation.But only 31 positive HBsAg donors and 9 positive anti-HCV donors successfully completed the detec-tion items of re-detection process.Among them 29 positive HBsAg donor regained the qualifications of donating blood and 2 cases were shielded for the blood donation qualification due to unqualification in the following detection.All of the 9 recalled donators with positive anti-HCV regained the blood donation qualification.Conclusion Under present detection mode,the detection tech-nique of blood screening is hard to avoid the occurrence of false positive results caused by the reagents,instruments and personnel operating.In order to protect the donation qualifications of the unpaid blood donators,a set of scientific,reasonable and practical re-detection mode for rejoin of the blood donators should be established for protecting the limited blood donation resource.
