OBJECTIVE:To explore the treatment effect and complication prevention of various stent materials for intracranial arteriostenosis.METHODS:A computer-based online search of Science Direct and Ei database (1998-01/2009-10) was performed for English articles with the key words of "intracranial arteriostenosis,stent placement" In addition,CNKI and CBM database (1998-01/2009-10) were searched for related Chinese articles with the same key words in Chinese.Moreover,related works were manually searched.Studies regarding various stent materials for intracranial arteriostenosis were included,including basic and clinical experiments.RESULTS:Multicenter studies of worldwide show that stent implantation displays obvious advantages in treating carotid artery stenosis compared with carotid endarterectomy.Recently,with developing of balloon and stent compliance,as well as stent technology,and application of various novel materials and cerebral protection device,stent has become a safe and effective therapy for intracranial arteriostenosis.However,complications following stent implantation,such as restenosis,ischemic stroke,cerebral hemorrhage hypertransfusion syndrome,and cerebral angiospasm,limit its application.CONCLUSION:The safety and efficacy of intracranial stent implantation remains validation of multicenter and perspective studies.High incidence of restenosis following stent implantation requires further improvement.

An analytical method of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed for simultaneous determination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and nine phenolic compounds (including (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, chlorogenic acid, rutin, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid) in 20 min.Ten components were detected and separated successfully by Diamonsil C_(18) column (150 mm x4.6 mm, 5 μm) at wavelength of 280 nm and column temperature of 42 ℃, with acetonitrile and 3% acetic acid solution as the mobile phase in gradient elution.The resultant correlation coefficients of the ten compounds were between 0.9911 and 0.9995 with detection limit from 0.2 to 0.5 mg/L, the RSD less than 2.4% and the average recoveries from 89.4% to 98.3%.These experimental results demonstrate that 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the nine phenolic compounds in different rice wine samples can be determined with the new method for practical uses.

Objective To research the association between the prognosis of Acinetobacter baumannii infection and drug resistance among patients in the intensive care unit( ICU). Methods Eighty-four patients with Acine tobacter baumannii infection from February 2003 to April 2009 in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital ICU were retrospectively analyzed and divided into alive group(59 patients) and dead group(25 patients) by using 30-day mortality. The impact of drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii on mortality was assessed by binary logistic regression. Results The mortality of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii infection was related to age, haematological malignancy, the Chanson Comorbidity Index, APACHEII score, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDRAB) , carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB ) , septic shock and antimicrobial inappropriate therapy by univariate analysis( P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression revealed that CRAB( OR = 3. 360,95%CI: 1. 563 ～7.223,P< 0.05)and the Charison Comorbidity Index( OR = 1. 633,95% CI: 1. 201 ～2. 221 ,P <0.05) were independent risk factors. Conclusions The prognosis of Acinetobacter baumannii infection was closely correlated with drug resistance. The patients with CRAB infection had a higher mortality.

Objective:To study the effects of different Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load, induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy and concurrent radiochemotherapy on patients with stage Ⅲ nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods:A total of 178 patients with stage Ⅲ NPC were selected as the study subjects in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the First People′s Hospital of Xianning of Hubei Province from January 2012 to March 2019, including 44 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. According to the pre-treatment EBV DNA load of 1 000 copies/ml, the patients were divided into high viral load group (EBV DNA≥1 000 copies/ml, n=53) and low viral load group (EBV DNA<1 000 copies/ml, n=125), and 14 patients in the high viral load group and 30 patients in the low viral load group received adjuvant chemotherapy. According to treatment method, the patients were divided into induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group ( n=105) and concurrent radiochemotherapy group ( n=73). The general clinical data, recurrence rate, 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, disease free survival (DFS) rate, local recurrence free survival (LRFS) rate and disease metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rate of each group were compared. Results:Among 178 patients with stage Ⅲ NPC, 34 cases recurred, accounting for 19.10%, and 29 cases died, accounting for 16.29%. There was a statistically significant difference in N staging between the induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group and the concurrent radiochemotherapy group ( χ2=6.40, P=0.01). The tumor recurrence rate in the high viral load group was 33.96% (18/53), and that in the low viral load group was 12.80% (16/125), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=10.79, P<0.01). The recurrence rate of lymph nodes [(9.43% (5/53) vs. 1.60% (2/125), χ2=4.15, P=0.04], the distant metastasis rate [18.87% (10/53) vs. 5.60% (7/125), χ2=7.59, P=0.01] were significantly higher than those in the low viral load group, and there were statistically significant differences. The tumor recurrence rate of patients in the induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group was 17.14% (18/105), and that in the concurrent radiochemotherapy group was 21.91% (16/73), and there was no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.63, P=0.43). The 5-year OS rate, DFS rate, LRFS rate and DMFS rate of 178 patients with stage Ⅲ NPC were 84.68%, 72.80%, 79.68% and 79.54%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate (79.25% vs. 92.80%, χ2=6.86, P<0.01), DFS rate (73.58% vs. 88.00%, χ2=5.67, P=0.01), LRFS rate (73.21% vs. 89.24%, χ2=8.32, P<0.01) and DMFS rate (65.24% vs. 78.00%, χ2=4.15, P=0.02) in the high viral load group were significantly lower than those in the low viral load group, and there were statistically significant differences. The 5-year OS rate (89.52% vs. 87.67%, χ2=0.15, P=0.70), DFS rate (84.76% vs. 82.19%, χ2=0.21, P=0.65), LRFS rate (80.38% vs. 79.84%, χ2=0.00, P=1.00) and DMFS rate (79.52% vs. 81.78%, χ2=0.05, P=0.83) in the induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group were not statistically significant compared with those in the concurrent radiochemotherapy group, and there were no statistically significant differences. The 5-year OS rate of 44 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (93.77% vs. 87.49%), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.21, P=0.02). In the high viral load group, the 5-year OS rate of patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (93.77% vs. 84.13%), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.11, P=0.03). Conclusion:Induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy can achieve the same therapeutic effect as concurrent radiochemotherapy. High viral load is associated with high recurrence rate and poor survival rate. For these patients with high viral load, treatment intensity needs to be strengthened.
