1. Clinical manifestations and cerebral angiographic findings of moyamoya disease
Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2010;22(2):131-134
Objective: To study the clinical features and angiographic findings of moyamoya disease (MMD) as well as their relationship. Methods: A total of 22 MMD patients received routine digital substraction angiography (DSA). The clinical manifestations and angiographic findings were analyzed. Results: Clinical manifestations varied and each patient often had multiple symptoms, including cerebral infarction in 9 patients with an average age of 23.6 (13-39 years) and cerebral hemorrhage in 7 patients with an average age of 31.2 (28-46 years). Angiographic examination found that all the diseased sides showed MMD blood vessels. The patients who received encephalo-myo-arterio-synangiosis (EMAS) had better prognosis than those without receiving the treatment. Conclusion: Cerebral infarction is frequent in children and adolescents with MMD, whereas cerebral hemorrhage is common in adults. DSA is a golden criterion for diagnosing MMD. Surgical treatment, EMAS blood supply reconstruction in particular, should be prescribed.

Purpose: To explore the clinical value of 99mTc-MIBI imaging in differentiating malignancies from benign breast masses. Methods: 195 patients underwent the examination for 99m Tc-MIBI. Comparative diagnosis was done by postoperative pathology in all cases. Results: 69 of the 84 cases of breast cancer were preoperatively diagnosed by 99mTc-MIBI, the causes of false-negative results were small size of the mass and the higher degree of malignancy. 102 of the 111 patients with benign lesions were scintimammographically negative, the cause of false-positive results was large fibroadenomas with surplus blood supply. The sensitivity was 82. 1%, specificity was 92.0%, and the diagnostic accuracy was 89.2%. Conclusions: 99mTc-MIBI examination is an effective, simple and noninvasive diagnostic method for primary breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the value and feasibility of Microsim medical simulation training system in medical students' clinical thinking training. Method 96 students of 5-year program of medicine of Grade 2009 and Grade 2010 were the research object. These students were randomly divided into two groups (group A:After 3 weeks' clinical practice in respiratory medicine, taking 1 week Microsim training. group B: Taking 4 weeks clinical practice in respiratory medicine. Each group has 48 students.). The examination and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were observed after the end of the internship. SPSS 17.0 statistical software was used to analyze the collected data (measurement data matching t test, counting data by chi-square test). Results The Microsim system score: group A was (89.37±7.18), group B was (61.95±15.34). The difference between groups was statistically signifi-cant. The following scores suggested the assessment of students' ability of clinical thinking: ability to analyze problems [group A (89.95±4.02) vs. group B (75.51±6.34)], the ability to deal with the prob-lem [group A (78.81±8.09) vs. group B (59.67±9.33)], treatment scheme [group A (86.74±6.59) vs. group B (70.39±7.05)] and the treatment effect [group A (88.61±8.16) vs. group B (63.54±11.48)]. In these aspects, the two groups had statistically significant difference, but communication [group A (82.47 ±5.23) vs. group B (84.09 ±3.72)] had no statistically significant difference between the two groups. 89.6% (43) of the participants believed that the Microsim medical simulation training system could significantly improve the clinical thinking ability, but only 58.3% (28) of the students believed that the basic theory of knowledge could be consolidated. Conclusion Microsim medical simulation training system can improve the students' ability of clinical thinking and clinical comprehensive treat-ment ability. It can be used as an effective complement to clinical practice teaching.

Objective To compare the activities of daily living(ADL) of the elderly in different styles of providing.Methods 662 subjects were in range of 60~100 years old living in the organization for the aged and 620 subjects were in the range of 60~98 years old living at home from Beijing urban. They were evaluated with the ADL rating scales and a self-designed health status questionnaire.Results The total scores of ADL were not significantly difference between the elderly living at home and living in the organization(t=-0.299, P>0.05). But age (OR=3.05, 95%CI: 1.805~2.935), educational level (OR=2.01, 95%CI: 1.512~2.544), and physical health (OR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.524~2.012) were related to ADL. Conclusion Age is the important factor affecting ADL (OR=3.05, 95%CI: 1.805~2.935), but ADL of the elderly in different styles of providing is not significantly difference.

Objective To evaluate the structure and stiffness of the common carotid artery (CCA) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by RFQIMT and RFQAS technology and analyze the relationships between the parameters of CCA and cardiovascular risk factors.Methods 113 participants with habitual snoring suspected OSAS were divided into control group,mild,moderate and severe OSAS groups according to apnea hypopnea index(AHI)<5,5-20,20-40,>40 event/hour respectively.Carotid parameters included intima-media thickness (IMT),diameter (D),distension (Dis),distensibility coefficient (DC),compliance coefficient (CC),pulse wave velocity (PWV),stiffness index α and β were collected by RFQIMT and RFQAS.Multivariate linear regression analysis was applied to analyze the relationships between CCA parameters and cardiovascular risk factors.Results ①The clinical characteristics:blood pressure had significant difference among the four groups (P <0.05).SO2,SO2 min decreased and T90,ODI increased significantly in mild,moderate and severe group (P <0.05).②The structure parameters of CCA:IMT,D and plaques had no significant difference among the four groups (P >0.05).③The elasticity parameters of CCA:Compared with control group,Dis increased significantly in mild group (P <0.05).PWV,α,β increased significantly in moderate group (P < 0.05).Compared with mild group,PWV,α,β increased significantly in moderate group (P <0.05).Compared with moderate group,α,β increased significantly in severe group (P <0.05).④By multivariate linear regression analysis,age was an independent predictor of IMT,Dis,D,CC,PWV,α,β(P <0.05).A blunted nocturnal fall was an independent predictor of D,DC,CC,PWV (P <0.05),SBP,DBP and PP of daytime had an important effect on D (P <0.05).SO2 was independently correlated with PWV (P <0.05).PP was an independent predictor of PWV,α,β (P <0.05).Smoking was an independent predictor of plaque (P <0.05).Conclusions ①Stiffness is damaged earlier than morphology of CCA in patient with OSAS.②PP,a blunted nocturnal fall and SO2 are correlated with stiffness of CCA significantly.It indicates that abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm and hypoxia are associated significantly with stiffness of CCA in patient with OSAS.
