8.Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Synodrome
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(12):-
The etiology of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS)is more complex.Its pathogenesis has a lot of controversies,and its clinical manifestations are headache, nausea,vomiting,epileptic seizure,consciousness disturbance and visual abnormality.Neuroim- aging examinations have shown that diffuse symmetrical white matter edema is predominantly in the bilateral posterior brain regions.Clinical symptoms and neuroimaging changes can be recov- ered completely after timely and effective treatment.If the treatment is delayed,it may compli- cate with cerebral infarction or hemorrhage,and lead to irreversible damage.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban,a platelet glycoproteinⅡb/Ⅲa Inhibitor,in percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)of patients with acute non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarct(NSTEMI).Methods:A total of 114 patients with acute NSTEMI were enrolled in the trial from Sep.2005 to Jan.2007;they were randomly divided into 2 groups:tirofiban group(n=57)and placebo group(n=57).Patients in tirofiban group were given tirofiban for 24 h after PCI.All patients were routinely given heparin,aspirin and clopidogrel before CPI.The composite occurrence of death,myocardial infarction(MI),need for target vessel revascularization(TVR)after PCI,and the adverse effects(hemorrhage and thrombocypenia)were compared between the 2 groups.Results:One(1.8%)patient had angina pectoris and the other(1.8%)developed subacute thrombus in control group within 24 h after PCl;there was no such event in the tirofiban group.Two(3.6%)patients developed angina pectoris and 2(3.6%) developed subacute thrombus within 30 days after PCI in control group;one patient(1.8%)in birofiban group developed angina pectoris and one patient in birofiban group developed subacute thrombus.Each group had one case(1.8%)of upper digestive tract bleeding during hospitalization.No intracranial hemorrhage,skin/ mucosa hemorrhage,thrombocytopenia,or-death occurred in the 2 groups.Intravenous tirofiban treatment reduced the composite occurrence of death of NSTEMI patients after PCI(P
