Objective To explore clinical characteristics of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia complicated with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS).Methods Clinical data of 31 cases of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia complicated with RPLS were studied retrospectively.ResulIs These 31 cases with RPLS accounted for 48% of those with eclampsia,.and all presented with hypertension,headache and disturbalice of vision,24 cases with seizure episodes,19 cases with nausea and vomiting and 13 with continuous dysphoria after seizure.Neuroradiologic findings showed edema predominantly in the bilateral posterior cerebral white matter,especially in occipital-parietal lobe,with low density lesions in CT and long T1 and T2 signals in brain MRI. Conclusions Severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia tended to complicate with RPLS,presenting severe hypertension,headache,disturbance of vision and recurrent seizure as major clinical manifestations.

OBJECTIVE: Internal carotid artery (ICA) trunk aneurysms are rare constituting about 0.9 to 6.5% of all ICA aneurysms. They may arise from medial, lateral, ventral (posterior) or dorsal (anterior) walls of ICA. The most frequent site of origin is dorsomedial, followed by dorsal, dorsolateral and ventromedial wall. ICA dorsal wall aneurysms can be divided into the saccular type and blister type, which have different shapes, wall histological features and surgical tactics. The authors report an analysis of 27 cases of ICA trunk aneurysms treated with surgical clipping or GDC embolization. METHODS: Of 145 cases of ICA aneurysms from May 1998 to December 2005, we found 27 cases (17.5%) of such unusual aneurysms located at nonbranching sites of the intradural ICA. Features of neuroimagings and medical records were analyzed. RESULTS: Out of 27 aneurysms, 10 were located at ICA dorsal wall, 8 aneurysms were developed at ICA medialwall. Seven aneurysms originated from ICA ventral wall. Seven cases presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and 20 cases were found unruptured. Two patients had blister-like aneurysm, and the others had saccular aneurysms. All patients were treated successfully with microsurgical clippings or GDC embolization. Microsurgical clipping were performed in 14 cases and among them, removal of anterior clinoid process was done in 12 cases. Eleven aneurysms were occluded with detachabel coil. Two patients underwent balloon occlusion of ICA. Blister aneurysm was clipped including a portion of the normal ICA wall. Good outcomes were obtained in 25 patients, and two patients were dead. CONCLUSION: ICA trunk aneurysms are developed at any site of ICA circumference. Therefore we consider a variety of treatment strategies. On clipping of aneurysms at proximal ICA trunk, removal of anterior clinoid process is important. Endovascular treatment may be good an alternative. However, surgical treatment is essential for blister like aneurysms.

Objective To observe the serum level of C-reactive protein(CRP) in transient ischemic attack(TIA) patients,and to assess the correlation between CRP and other dangerous factors of cerebral infarction.Methods 102 TIA patients were divided into two groups: TIA deteriorated into cerebral infarction in two weeks(group A,n=40) and TIA could be relieved in two weeks(group B,n=62).Many factors were measured within 24 h,such as CRP,BP,BS,FIB,TC,TG,HDL-L,and LDL-L.67 healthy subjects were usded as control group.Relative analysis was performed between CRP and 8 parameters mentioned above.Results ①The serum CRP level of TIA patients was higher than that of healthy controls(P

Objective To perform the clinical characferistics of diagnosis and treatment of duodenal trauma and to improve the result of surgical treatment in patients with duodenal injury.Methods The clinical data of 32 cases with duodenal injury were analyzed retrospectively.Results All cases were surgically treated.26 cases were cured 13 cases were with complications,of which 9 cases with duodenal fistula,4 cases with peritoneal infection.6 cases died.Conclusion Early diagnosis and surgical treatment,proper management and intensive postoperative care can improve the result of patients with duodenal trauma and decrease complications.
