Objective To investigate the relation of the associated biomarkers and the early clinicaloutcomes in acute cerebral infarction. Methods Three hundred and seventeen patients with cerebral infarctionwere enrolled after the first onset. Coagulation function, liver, kidney function, blood cholesterol, andelectrolytical were tested within 24 hours of onset. Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS) and National Institutes of HealthStroke Scale (NHISS) were scored on admission, and NHISS on the tenth day after admission were scored.Evaluated the severity on admission and early functional recovery on the tenth day after admission with CSS andthe difference of NHISS. According to CSS, patients were divided into three groups: mild, moderate and severegroup. According to scale margin of NHISS between on admission and the tenth day after admission , patients weredivided into three groups: improved group, unchanged group and worsened group. Difference of biomarkers amongdifferent groups were statistical analyzed. Results Serum calcium (SC), TBIL, FIB, HCY, SUA levels amongmild, moderate and severe group were significantly different (P < 0.05). The more severe, the higher TBIL,FIB, HCY, SUA levels and the lower SC level. The SC, FIB, SUA levels were significantly different amongimproved group, unchanged group and worsened group (P < 0.05). SC level were the lowest in worsened group,while FIB, SUA levels were the highest. Conclusions In acute cerebral infarction patients, SC, FIB, SUAlevels are closely related to the severity and early clinical prognosis.

In this study, calcium phosphate cements (CPC) were prepared by mixing cement powders of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) with a cement liquid of phosphate acid saline solution. Tetracycline (TTC)-CPC, chitosan-CPC and chitosan-TTC-CPC were investigated with different premixed schedule. It was demonstrate that both TTC and chitosan worked on the phase transition and crystal characteristics. TTCP mixed with phosphate acid saline solution had similar features of Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) no matter it was mixed with chitosan or TTC or both. TTC premixed with cement liquid or powder had significant different features of FT-IR and 876 cm(-1) seemed to be a special peak for TTC when TTC was premixed with cement liquid. This was also supported by XRD analysis, which showed that TTC premixed with cement liquid improved phase transition of TTCP to OCP. Chitosan, as organic additive, regulates the regular crystal formation and inhibits the phase transition of TTCP to OCP, except when it is mingled with cement liquid premixed with TTC in field scanning electron microscope. It was concluded that the premixed schedule influences the crystal formation and phase transition, which may be associated with its biocompatibility and bioactivities in vivo.
