Objective To investigate the correlation between microembolic signal (MES) and immune inflammation in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods The consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enroled. According to the results of MES, they were divided into either a positive group or a negative group. The Immune inflammatory indexes, demographics, and baseline clinical data in both groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of MES in acute ischemic stroke. Results A total of 237 patients were enroled, including 52 in the MES positive group and 185 in the MES negative group. There were significant differences in the levels of triglyceride (2. 130 ± 0. 933 mmol/L vs. 1. 811 ± 0. 962 mmol/L; t = 2. 126, P = 0. 035), plasma fibrinogen (2. 946 ± 0. 255 g/L vs. 2. 833 ± 0. 322 g/L; t = 2. 332, P = 0. 021 ), Lp-PLA2 level ( 288. 265 ± 27. 855 μg/L vs. 261. 652 ± 29. 961 μg/L; t = 2. 897, P = 0. 004 ), as wel as the proportions of CD4 + CD25high Treg (8. 695% ± 1. 461% vs. 9. 445% ± 1. 397% ; t = 3. 386, P = 0. 001), artery stenosis ≥70% (21. 15% vs. 5. 41% ; χ2 = 10. 592, P = 0. 001 ) and smal arterial occlusive stroke (9. 62% vs. 23. 24% ; χ2 = 4.667, P = 0. 031) between the MES positive group and the MES negative group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increased plasma fibrinogen level (odds ratio [OR] 3. 257, 95%confidence interval [CI] 1. 124 - 9. 438; P = 0. 030), artery stenosis ≥ 70% (OR 3. 585, 95% CI 1. 394 -9. 219; P = 0. 008), and the decreased ratio of Treg (OR 3. 801, 95% CI 1. 190 - 12. 148; P = 0. 024) were the independent risk factors for positive MES, and smal arterial occlusive stroke was its independent protective factor (OR 0. 244, 95% CI 0. 072 - 0. 829; P = 0. 024). Conclusions MES may be associated with immune inflammation. The relationship between stroke and immune inflammation should be taken seriously.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for the clinical use and dosage form development of Strychnos nuxvomica. METHODS: The prescriptions containing S. nuxvomica were collected and sorted from the Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription, and then formula name, prescription source, name of treatment disease, composition, usage and dosage, medication route were input into Access 2010 and database was established. According to the usage, these prescriptions were divided into internal use and external use, and the frequencies of diseases treated by internal/external use prescriptions were counted respectively. Apriori algorithm of SPSS Modeler 18.0 software was used to analyze the drug combination rule of compound prescription containing S. nuxvomica. RESULTS: A total of 78 prescriptions were included, of which 42 were oral prescriptions, 33 were external prescriptions and 3 were both oral and external prescriptions. Internal prescriptions were used to treat diseases such as atrophy-flaccidity disease, arthralgia, hemorrhoids, anal fistula, bones and muscles pain. The external prescriptions were mainly used to treat skin diseases, tumors, lump. Internal and external prescriptions could treat sore, injuries and fractures. In internal prescriptions, S. nuxvomica was often compatible with Boswellia carterii, myrrha, Daemonorops draco, Manis pentadactyla, pyritum, Angelica sinensis, Ephedra sinica, Aconitum kusnezoffii. In external prescriptions, S. nuxvomica was often compatible with Radix Paeoniae, Rehmannia glutinosa, Phellodendron chinense, Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Angelica sinensis, Angelica dahurica, Buthus martensii. Most of S. nuxvomica were used after processing, and mainly took sesame oil as an auxiliary material (77.97%). CONCLUSIONS: Diseases treated with the prescriptions containing S. nuxvomica can be classified into three types of diseases, i.e. polymyalgia rheumatica and paralysis, bruise and bone fracture, carbuncle and stubbornness tinea. In external prescriptions, S. nuxvomica is often compatible with drug for clearing heat and drying dampness, cooling blood and activating blood, and relieving pain. In internal prescriptions, S. nuxvomica is often compatible with the agents for blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicinal. In addition, the processing of S. nuxvomica with sesame oil is an important measure to ensure its safety.

Objective To investigate visual impairment students' quality of life and its influencing factors in Braille learning class at Quanzhou Special School. Methods November, 2020, 52 students (aged seven to 26) with the best corrected distance visual acuity of the better eye above 0.02 were investigated with near visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and Chinese-version Low Vision Quality of Life Questionnaire (CLVQOL). The subjects were divided into second grade blindness group, first grade low vision group and second grade low vision group according to the best corrected distance visual acuity of the better eye. Results There were significant differences in distance visual acuity (Z = 45.671, P < 0.001), near visual acuity (Z = 24.972, P < 0.001), and contrast sensitivity (CS) ( Z = 13.285, P = 0.001) among three groups. There was a correlation between near visual acuity and distance visual acuity (r = 0.74, P < 0.001), CS to distance visual acuity (r = -0.58, P < 0.001) and near visual acuity (r = -0.57, P < 0.001), score of CLVQOL and CS (r = 0.44, P < 0.001). There were significant differences in the total score (Z = 10.145, P = 0.006), distance visual acuity subscale (Z = 13.586, P = 0.001), psychological adjustment subscale (Z = 7.824, P = 0.020), reading and fine work subscale (Z = 7.923, P = 0.019) of CLVQOL among the three groups. Conclusion Quality of life is different with the visual impairment for students in special school, especially the distance visual acuity, psychological adjustment and fine reading. CS correlates to the quality of life of visually impaired students, which needs to be a part of evaluation of visual function.
