Atherosclerosis is the pathological basis of ischemic stroke. Peripheral blood leukocytes are involved in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis and cause vascular endothelial injury. A series of changes of peripheral immune cel take place after acute ischemic stroke and cause inflammatory cel infiltrating into the brain tissue. The elevated leukocyte count is closely associated with the occurrence and prognosis of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Studies have also shown that the elevated leukocyte count may influence the occurrence of ischemic stroke, neurological deficit, recurrence, and death. This article reviews the relationship between peripheral blood leukocytes and ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and clinical effect of percutaneous transhepatic bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation in treating malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods Twenty patients with inoperable malignant biliary obstruction were enrolled in this study. Of the 20 cases , 2 had biliary stent re-occlusion. Percutaneous transhepatic bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation was carried out in all patients. The ablation power was 5 - 12 W, single ablation time was 60 - 120 s, the average duration of ablation was 4.66 min (1.5 - 8.5 min), and the mean effective ablation extent was 5.76 cm (4 -10 cm). After ablation, balloon catheter was inserted to dilate the occluded segment, which was followed by implantation of biliary metal stent. The clinical efficacy , safety and complications were recorded. Results Percutaneous transhepatic bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation was successfully completed in all the 20 patients. Implantation of biliary metal stent was performed in 17 patients , among them balloon dilatation was employed in 11 patients before stent implantation , simple balloon dilatation with no stent implantation was employed in one patient, and ablation was adopted after biliary stent re-occlusion occurred in two patients. After the ablation, no complications such as biliary fistula, biliary tract infections, liver penetrating injuries, peritonitis, etc. occurred. Biliary drainage was successfully completed in all patients. The median follow-up period was three months(0.5-10 months); the stent patency rate at the end of one and three months was 100% (19/19) and 79% (11/14) respectively. The one-month and 3-month survival rate was 95% (19/20) and 93% (14/15) respectively. During the follow-up period, 8 of the 20 patients were alive and 12 died. The median survival time was 144 days (13 - 330 days) and the median time of stent patency was 60 days (30-210 days). Of the 12 fatal patients, 8 died of cachexia with multi- system failure although their total bilirubin level was not elevated during the follow- up period. Conclusion For the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice, percutaneous transhepatic bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation is a newly-developed, safe and feasible means. Clinically, this technique has already achieved some certain effect although its long-term results need to be further evaluated.

Objective:To examine the occurrence of seizures and perioperative risk factors in children after obtaining cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:Electroencephalograph (EEG) and cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO 2) were monitored in 87 patients (aged 3 days-110 months, with the median at 4.4 months) and they were admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) from May 2018 to April 2019, with 77 patients for 72 h after CPB and 10 cases with clinical seizures after CICU discharge for 8-180 h. Clinical data were recorded every 4 hours, including blood pressure, central venous pressure (CVP), temperature, arterial blood gases, lactate, doses of Dopamine, Milrinone, and Adrenalin, and daily C-reaction protein (CRP) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP). Demographic data, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery(STAT) mortality classification and clinical outcomes (duration of mechanical ventilation, CICU and hospital stay, and death) were recorded. Results:Seizures occurred in 24 patients (27.6%) within 48 h after CPB.EEG seizures appeared in 7 patients, both EEG and clinical seizures in 7 patients, and clinical seizures in 10 patients.Three patients developed epilepsy.There were 2 hospital deaths and both had EEG seizures.Patients with seizures had higher STAT categories, longer operative time and worse clinical outcomes (all P<0.05). Univariate regression revealed that the occurrence of seizures was positively related to adrenalin, temperature, lactate level (all P<0.01), blood pressure, CVP (all P<0.05) and CRP ( P<0.1), and negatively correlated with arterial carbon dioxide tension[ pa(CO 2)], ScO 2 and dose of Milrinone (all P<0.05). In multivariate regression, only dose of Adrenalin ( P<0.001) and lactate level ( P<0.01) remained significant. Conclusions:The incidence of seizures was high in children after CPB.Numerous perioperative factors that were related to seizures were identified.The most significant risk factors were higher dose of adrenaline and lactate level.Studies on neurological injury after CPB are urgently needed in China in order to reduce brain injury and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Objective To construct several human proinsulin mutants plasmid related to diabetes and to express in INS-1 (Insulin secreting beta cell derived line) cell. Methods Human mild proinsulin gene was used as template , and site-directed mutagenesis PCR was employed to generate four human proinsulin plasmid mutants. Each mutant plasmid was sequenced then transfected with empty plasmid and mild plasmid into INS-1 cell by liposome 2000. Insulin value in each cell solution was determined by radioimmunoassay. Results Proinsulin mutants plasmid were confirmed by sequencing. In-sulin values in culture solution of H-C(B19)G、H-L(B11)P、H-R(S6)C mutants are less than those in wild type and H-F (B25)L(P＜0.05). Comparison of insulin values between H-C(B19)G、H-L(B11)P、H-R(S6)C groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05), and all these three groups showed no significant differences with empty plasmid group statistically (P>0.05).Insulin value of H-F(B25)L was of no significant differences statistically with empty plasmid(P>0.05). Conclu-sion Four human proinsulin mutants plasmid were constructed and expressed successfully in INS-1 cell, and different mu-tants plasmid result in diabetes through different mechanism.

Background:With the deepening of researches on etiology of gastrointestinal bleeding,bleeding caused by pancreatic diseases has been understood better by the clinicians. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB)is an uncommon but highly lethal complication of pancreatic diseases. Aims:To analyze the clinical characteristics of UGIB caused by pancreatic diseases for improving the diagnosis and management of this condition. Methods:A total of 22 inpatients who were diagnosed as UGIB caused by pancreatic diseases from Sep. 2010 to Sep. 2016 at Daping Hospital,the Third Military Medical University were recruited and analyzed retrospectively. Results:There were 15 males and 7 females;the disease was more prevalent in young patients than in middle-aged and elderly patients (45. 5% vs. 31. 8% and 22. 7%). The top five causes of bleeding were as follows:stress ulcer related to acute pancreatitis (36. 4%),pancreatic pseudocysts related to chronic pancreatitis (18. 2%),severe acute pancreatitis (13. 6%),post-operative bleeding related to pancreatic surgery (9. 1%)and left-sided portal hypertension (9. 1%). The diagnosis was commonly made by gastroscopy, abdominal contrast-enhanced CT and angiography. Ten patients received medical therapy only,6 were treated by surgical operation,5 by endoscopic hemostasis,and 1 by angioembolization. Hemostasis was achieved in 18 patients (81. 8%), and rebleeding occurred in 4 patients,of which two received medical therapy initially. Two elderly patients died of uncontrollable bleeding and multiple organ failure,respectively. Conclusions:UGIB caused by pancreatic diseases are prone to occur in young and middle-aged males. Pancreatitis and its complications are the major cause of this condition. Medical therapy is ineffective for most of the patients and a multidisciplinary approach of endoscopy,transarterial intervention and surgery is recommended.
