Objective To analyze quantitatively the safety and efficacy of statin therapy in acute phrase for acute ischemic stroke with the method of meta-analysis.Methods We performed a systematic literature search including the Cochrane Library,MEDLINE and EMBASE for published trials about statin therapy and the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke.Then we performed a meta-analysis with included studies to investigate the association between statin therapy and clinical outcome and mortality.All of the data were pooled and meta-analyzed by Cochrane Collaboration RevMan 5.3 meta-analysis software.Statistical heterogeneity between studies was evaluated by the chi-square and I-square tests.Forest plots were used to summarize study data and Egger tests were used to assess publication bias.Results A total of 27 studies including 52 034 patients,comprising 19 212 statin users and 32 822 non-statin users met the inclusion criteria,4 studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs),and 23 were observational trials (OTs).Both pre-or post-stroke statin use was associated with reduced mortality.Statin use is associated with favorable functional outcome at hospital discharge and on the ninetieth day regardless of initiation time for pre-stroke group and post-stroke group.The results from observational trials were consistent with randomized controlled trials.There was no evidence of publication bias for all comparisons by Egger tests.Conclusions Statin therapy before or after AIS is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cerebral artery stenosis (MCAS) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Continuous selected 636 cases of 50-80 years old inpatients or outpatients who examined by transcranial color Doppler ultrasound (TCD) in April 2012 to April 2013 in our hospital.Keep the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating (CDR) as the evaluation of cognitive function.Results Detected 124 cases of MCAS patients (MCAS group) and 512 cases of non-MCAS patients (non-MCAS group).Forty-four cases MCI were detected in MCAS group with the prevalence rate was 35.5％(44/124),and 114 cases of patients with MCI were detected in non-MCAS group with the prevalence rate was 22.3％ (114/512),the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Single factor analysis showed that there were no significant difference between two groups in waist circumference,hypertension,coronary heart disease,hyperlipidemia,smoking,diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol,uric acid,fasting glucose,C-reactive protein (P ＞ 0.05); There were significantly different between two groups in age,gender,education level,MCAS,history of diabetes,systolic blood pressure and triglyceride,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(P ＜ 0.05).Multiple factors analysis showed that the MCAS (OR =1.899,95％ CI 1.224-2.946),history of diabetes (OR =1.764,95％ CI 1.191-2.612),systolic blood pressure(OR =1.012,95％ CI 1.003-1.022),gender (OR =0.558,95％ CI 0.380-0.821),and age (OR =1.029,95％ CI 1.010-1.049) was the independent risk factor for MCI.Conclusion The MCAS related with MCI occurrence and development.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the middle cerebral artery stenosis (MCAS) and the mild cognitive function impairment (MCI),and the clinical efficacy of statins in patients with MCI. Methods Six hundred and thirty-six patientse,who received transcranial color doppler ultrasound (TCD)assay, were enrolled in our hospital hospitalization or outpatients. The simple mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating scale (CDR) were used as cognitive function assessment indexes. Forty-four cases of MCI with MCAS and 58 cases of MCI with NMCAS were used as the treatment group , who received the atorvastatin 20 mg every day , 56 cases of MCI with NMCAS were used as the control group , who only received the routine and basic diseases treatment. One yearlater,we determined the changes of MMSE and CDRagain. Results We detected 124 patients with MCAS, 512 patients with NMCAS, and 44 cases of MCAS patients with MCI, the prevalence was 35.5%,114 cases of NMCAS in patients with MCI, with the prevalence of 22.3%, the prevalence between the two groups was statistically different. One year later, the patients in the treatment group, MMSE score was improved, the score of MCI of the MCAS group improved more significantly. Conclusion The middle cerebral artery stenosis correlated with the occurrence of MCI. Atorvastatin could improve cognitive function in patients with MCI, especially for MCI which was caused by middle cerebral artery stenosis.

Objective To assess the clinical significance of the application of computer assisted navigation technology in excision for sacrum tumor.Methods From December 2007 to June 2009,13 patients with sacrum tumor were treated with computer navigation assisted aggressive curettage.There were 5 males and 8 females.aged 21 to 69 years,with the mean age of 44 years,10 cases were over the level of sacrum3 and 3 cases under the sacrum3.Pathologic diagnosis was chordoma in 7 cases.giant cell tumor in 4 cases and neurofibroma in 2 cases.Five cases were recurrence.The preoperative data of CT and MRI were input into the computer navigation workstation.CT images determined the scope of the invasion of tumor in bone tissue.MRI determined the scope of the invasion of tumor in soft tissue.The CT and MRI image fusion identified the precise boundaries of the tumor in CT images and made markers for navigation guidance in the operative in 10 cases.The Iso-c scan had been made for another 3 cases and fused the Iso-c images with preoperation CT images for improving the images quality.According to preoperative marker in CT images,the aggressive curettage were completed with the real time computer navigation for 7 cases,marginal resection in 4 cases and wide resection in 2.The precise surgical removal of the lesions boundary were verified by computer navigation according to the preoperative planning.Results Thirteen patients were followed up for 7 to 37 months,an average of 18 months,no recurrence cases with marginal resection and wide resection.Two cases with aggressive curettage had recurrence.Conclusion Computer navigation technology helps to precise excision the sacrum tumors,to reduce the recurrence rate.

To enhance the immunogenicity of DNA and adenoviral vector vaccines expressing HIV-1 subtype B gp160, human interleukin 15 (hIL15) DNA adjuvant (pVR-hIL15) was constructed. BALB/c mice received DNA prime/protein boost immunization with pVR-HIVgp160/Ad5-HIVgp160 alone or combined with pVR-hIL15. Cellular and humoral immune responses were evaluated by IFN-gamma enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Compared with those immunized with vaccines alone, the mice immunized with vaccines combined with pVR-hIL15 had significantly increased specific cellular response and antibody titer (P < 0.05). It suggests that the IL15 DNA adjuvant can enhance the immune responses induced by prime-boost regimen using DNA and adenoviral vector encoding HIV-1 subtype B gp160.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Free running EMG and stimulus triggered EMG, including time, frequency, amplitude, muscle group were observed and recorded simultaneously. Never root functional injury and restoration after surgery were detected.RESULTS: 378 pedicle screws in 74 patients were monitored intraoperatively, and only 3 pedicle screw malposition (2 of L_4, 1 of L_5) was detected and then replaced with the help of C-arm fluoroscopic examination. Myoelectricity appeared when the current intensity was less than 10 mA. The correct rate of implantation was 99.2%. Nerve root impingement was found in two cases during laminectomy for L_5 and S_1 decompression and never root solution, which alerted the surgical team of critical neural structures. Nerve symptoms of the lower limb were aggravated after surgery and restored following 2-4 weeks of conventional treatment. The error injury rate of nerve root was 2.7%. In all reported cases, no irreversible neurological deficit was observed 2-4 weeks after operation.CONCLUSION: Intraoperative EMG monitoring can find improperly placed screws and detect impending nerve root injury promptly. Combined EMG and 3-D imaging modality monitoring is a reliable and practicable method that can be used to protect neural structures during complex lumbosacral surgery.
