Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2009;8(4):230-233
Objective To analyse subtyping of iscbemic stroke by the criteria of Trial of Org 10 172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST), its distribution, and relationship between TOAST subtypes, its risk factors and recurrence. Methods Clinical data of 441 patients of ischemic stroke were collected prospectively during October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007. All the patients were classified by TOAST criteria into five major subtypes and followed-up for one year since its first episode. Dates of its recurrence and death due to recurrence were recorded. Results All the 441 patients with ischemic stroke could be subtyped etiologically according to TOAST criteria as follows: etiology undetermined in 42.3 percent, small-vessel occlusion in 30.9 percent, large-artery atherosclerosis in 17.3 percent, cardioembolism in 9.3 percent, and others in 0.2 percent, without statistically significant difference in its gender and age distributions. Recurrence rate of iscbemic stroke in one year since its first episode for varied subtypes was 33.3 percent for cardioembolism, 14. 6 percent for etiology undetermined, 13.7 percent for large-artery atherosclerosis and 6.9 percent for small-vessel occlusion, respectively. There was no significant difference in risk factors for varied subtypes of iscbemic stroke, including history of smoking, hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disease, and serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fihrinogen and glucose. Conclusions Varied subtypes of iscbemic stroke had different risk factors and recurrence rate by TOAST criteria, which can be used as an etiologic classification for its secondary prevention.

Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2003;0(04):-
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of TNF-? on osteoclast differentiation in primary murine bone marrow cell culture with and without RANKL. Methods: M-CSF-dependent bone marrow cells were isolated from 5-6 weeks old mice, and cultured in the presence of M-CSF (25 ?g/L) with different concentrations of TNF-? (0, 1, 10, 100 ?g/L) for 5 days, the formation of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells was observed. These cells were also cultured in the presence of both RANKL (30 ?g/L) and M-CSF (25 ?g/L) with or without 10 ?g/L TNF-? for 4, 5, 6 and 9 days. The number of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells and resorption pits on dentine slices were counted under light microscope. Results: In the absence of RANKL, TNF-? was unable to induce osteoclast formation from murine bone marrow precursors. In the presence of RANKL, TNF-? augmented osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, and this effect occurred only on the early stage. Conclusion: TNF-? enhances RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and function, but can’t substitute for RANKL. TNF-? stimulates osteoclast differentiation, but not survival.

Objective To compare the preemptive analgesia effect of flurbiprofen axetil with tramadol in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods Ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy were divided randomly into group A (n=30), group B (n=30) and group C (n=30). The patients in group A were administrated 1mg/kg flurbiprofen axetil intravenously before tracheal intubation, and in group B 2mg/kg tramadol intravenously before tracheal intubation, while in group C 1mg/kg flurbiprofen axetil were administrated intravenously at the end of operation. The postoperative analgesic effects (1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours) were evaluated by VAS score and BCS score, while the times of pain-killer boosting and the side effects were recorded. Results VAS scores of group C were significantly higher than those of group A and B at all time points (P<0.05), except for 12 hours and 24 hours after the surgery, while BCS scores of group C Were lower than those of group A and B at the same time points (P<0.05).The side effects of group A and group C were significantly lower than those of group B (P<0.05). Conclusion Preemptive analgesia with flurbiprofen axetil and tramadol in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy is effective and convenient, while flurbiprofen axetil has less side effects.

Objective: To establish the permanent tooth germ missing animal model for future research on the root resorption of deciduous tooth in the absence of permanent tooth germ. Methods: The permanent tooth germ missing animal model was established by surgical removal of the permanent tooth buds in a male 11-week-old Beagle dog. Root resorption of the deciduous teeth without permanent successors was observed by taking periapical films periodically,and compared with physiological root resorption. Once the sign of root resorption of the deciduous teeth without permanent successors was detected on radiographic films, the animal was sacrificed and the mandibular bone was collected for histological study. Results: Root resorption of the deciduous teeth with the presence of permanent tooth germ started at 20 weeks after birth, while root resorption of deciduous teeth without permanent tooth germ started 26-27 weeks which was significantly delayed. Histological studies showed that a large number of multinucleated giant cells were present on the pulpal surface of the root, while only few of them were seen on the outer surface. Conclusion: The permanent tooth germ missing animal model was successfully established in this study which simulated the case of congenital absence of permanent tooth germ in human. Root resorption of deciduous tooth without permanent tooth germ was significantly delayed than the deciduous tooth with permanent tooth germ.
