Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy and safety of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction and investigate the prognostic factors of thrombolysis. Methods The clinical data of 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction from January 2009 to November 2013 in Department of Emergency, Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were retrospectively analyzed;of them, 30 cases received intravenous rt-PA thrombolytic treatment, being in the thrombolytic group, 0.9 mg/kg rt-PA was given to the patient within 4.5 hours after the disease onset, the total dosage could not exceed 90 mg, in which 10%was intravenously injected and the rest 90%was intravenously dripped slowly within 60 minutes. That another 30 cases did not undergo thrombolytic therapy was assigned as the control group, and they took aspirin, etc anti-platelet aggregation routine treatment. Before and after thrombolytic treatment for 1 hour, 24 hours and 14 days, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was evaluated in the two groups;before and after thrombolytic therapy for 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 hours, the patient's scores of Barthel index (BI) were observed in the two groups. In thrombolytic group, the situations of hemorrhage transformation, symptomatic hemorrhage and modified Rankin scale (mRS) score in 3 months of the patients with different ages, complications and NIHSS scores were observed. Results Before treatment, no statistically significant differences were found in the NIHSS score (15.2±3.6 vs. 15.5±3.3) and BI score (45.0±8.8 vs. 44.1±7.6) between the control group and thrombolytic group (both P>0.05);after treatment with the extension of time, the NIHSS score was gradually reduced, reaching the lowest level on the 14th day after thrombolytic treatment, while the BI score was gradually increased, reaching its peak at 1.5 hours after thrombolytic treatment, the changes being more prominent in thrombolytic group (NIHSS score:9.7±2.6 vs. 12.8±4.2, BI score:82.6±7.8 vs. 69.6±9.8, both P<0.05). In thrombolytic group, there were cerebral hemorrhage transformation 2 cases, gum bleeding 3 cases, skin bleeding 1 case, urethral bleeding 1 case, gastrointestinal bleeding and black stool 1 case. In control group, cerebral hemorrhage transformation was seen in 1 case. There was no obvious systemic hemorrhage in the two groups. In the 30 cases in thrombolytic group, the baseline NIHSS score of patients>80 years old was higher than that in cases≤80 years old (15 vs. 12); the age (years: 71.0±4.1 vs. 61.5±2.6), baseline NIHSS score (14 vs. 11) and bleeding conversion rate [37.50% (3/8) vs. 18.18% (4/22)] of cases with atrial fibrillation were higher than those not complicated with atrial fibrillation; the NIHSS score of cases with elevated international normalized ratio (INR) was lower than those without elevated INR (11 vs. 14);The bleeding conversion rate [16.67%(1/6) vs. 29.17%(7/24)] with NIHSS score≤4 were lower than those with NIHSS score>4;the mRS score in 3 months (4 vs. 2), and percentage of 3-month mRS score≤2 [11.1%(1/9) vs. 52.38%(11/21)] in cases with NIHSS score≥20 was higher than that in cases with NIHSS score<20 (all P<0.05). The fatality rate of two groups was 3.33%. Conclusions The intravenous rt-PA thrombolytic treatment can significantly promote the early recovery of neurologic impairment for patients with acute cerebral infarction. The therapy can improve the prognosis and its safety is relatively good. Meanwhile it is similarly effective for cases over 80, with complications such as atrial fibrillation, raised INR, and with different degrees of severity.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of extrahepatie recurrences after curative resection of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Clinicopathologic data of 238 curative resected cases of primary HCC were retrospectively reviewed for parameters affecting postoperative extrahepatic recurrences. Results During a median follow-up of 34 months (7 - 78 months), extrahepatic recurrences were observed in 32 out of 238 patients (13.4%). According to univariate analysis, the risk factors for extrahepatic recurrences were preoperative serum a-fetoprotein (AFP) level of > 1000 ng/ml,aspartate aminotransferase level of > 50 IU/L, presence of hepatic vein invasion, neighboring organ invasion, tumor satellites, and lack of tumor capsule formation. Preoperative serum AFP levels of > 1000 ng/ml, hepatic vein invasion, neighboring organ invasion proved to be independent risk factors by multivariate analysis. Conclusions Extrahepatic recurrences after curative resection of HCC was found to be related to preoperative serum AFP level of > 1000 ng/ml, hepatic vein invasion, and neighboring organ invasion.

OBJECTIVETo analyze and summarize the characteristics and treatment of acute spinal cord decompression sickness. To explore the factors that influence the treatment effect.
METHODS77 cases of acute spinal cord decompression sickness patients should be divided into 4 groups according to the pressurized treatment and drug treatment options. They were group I, group II, group III and group IV. At the same time they were get hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other treatment. The evaluation index, were Frankel function classification and paraplegia index. There were 17 factors that affected the treatment effect.
RESULTSThe rate of early cure was 57.14% (44/77). The rate of late cure was 74.03% (57/77). Their difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In 3 months and 1 year the cure rate of group IV and group B were the highest. But there was no difference between them(P>0.05). They were higher than group ii and group I (P<0.05). The Frankel function classification in 3months and 1 year in each group was higher than before treatment (P<0.05). The paraplegia index in 3 months and 1 year in each group was lower than before treatment (P<0.05). In 3 months and 1 year the Frankel function classification was increased gradually and the paraplegia index was decreased gradually in group I , group II, group III (P<0.05). In group IV and group III the Frankel function and the paraplegia index had not significant difference (P>0.05). Among the 17 factors that affect the treatment effect there are 9 factors that affect the proportion of the large.
CONCLUSIONSThe first choice of treatment method for the patients with acute spinal cord decompression sickness would be group III. Drug therapy was also imporpant. At the same time the hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other treatments were taken. Although the cure rate was not high in this article. But most of the cure is within 3 months. Within 1 year.the cure rate still could be improved. 9 factors that affect the efficacy of acute spinal cord decompression sickness was more noteworthy.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of rhein lysinate (RHL)on the blood vessel damage induced by oxidative stress in the mice,and to explore its mechanism.Methods The mouse models of oxidative damage were established by intraperitoneal injection of paraquat.30 C57 mice were randomly divided into control, paraquat model,and RHL prevention groups.The mice in RHL prevention group were given RHL by gavage for one week before performing model.The mice in other two groups were given equal volume of distilled water.For making model,paraquat was intraperitoneally injected in the mice in paraquat model and RHL prevention groups once a week for two weeks.The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the content of serum malonaldehyde (MDA) of the mice were detected 2 weeks after modeling. The pathological profile of blood vessel was observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining and the level of reactive oxygen species was observed by DCFH-DA staining.The expressions of genes related to blood vessel damage were detected by Western blotting method.Results Compared with control group,the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased and the content of MDA was increased in paraquat model group (P < 0.05 ). Compared with paraquat model group,the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased and the content of MDA was decreased in RHL prevention group (P <0.05).The pathological examination indicated the structure of blood vessel of the mice was damaged and the level of reactive oxygen species of blood vessel was increased (P <0.05)in paraquat model group.The pathological changes were significantly improved and the level of reactive oxygen species of blood vessel of the mice was decreased (P < 0.05 )in RHL prevention group. The Western blotting analysis showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of nitric oxide endothelial synthase (eNOS)and caspase-3 of the mice in paraquat model group were decreased (P < 0.05),however the expression level of cleaved fragment of caspase-3 was increased (P < 0.05).Compared with paraquat model group,the expression levels of eNOS and caspase-3 of the mice in RHL prevention group were increased (P < 0.05 )and the expression level of cleaved fragment of caspase-3 was decreased (P <0.05).Conclusion Paraquat could induce vascular cell damage in vivo through increasing the levels of reactive oxygen species, and RHL could antagonize the effects of paraquat by scavenging reactive oxygen species, and up-regulating the eNOS expression and reducing the expression of the cleaved fragment of caspase-3.
