Objective To investigate the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods Forty-two non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis adult patients were enrolled in this study [mean age was (48.2± 12.3) years,50％ was male].CIMT was determined by carotid ultrasound.Patients were divided into two groups according to CIMT:CIMT normal group (CIMT ＜ 0.9 mm) and CIMT thickening group (CIMT≥0.9 mm).HbAlc,2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG) and other factors of the patients were analyzed with Spearman rank correlation and multiple linear regression.Results CIMT was correlated with age,2hPBG,LDL-C,TG,TC,HbA1c in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients (r =0.355,0.373,0.416,0.345,0.351,0.456,all P ＜ 0.05).Multiple linear regression showed that HbA1c was the most powerful influence factor of CIMT(β =0.459).Conclusion HbA1c level is positively correlated with CIMT and may be a predictor of carotid atherosclerosis in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients.

Objective To identify the relationship between impaired glucose regulation of neuronal apoptosis in hip-pocampus and the ability of learning/memory in rats.Methods The model rats were made by high fat and sugar diet;The morris water maze was used to detect the learning and memory function;The TUNEL method was used to detect neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus .Expression of Bcl-2/Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA/Bax mRNA factor in hippo-campus neurons was detected with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization .Results Compared with NGT group, in IGR group the learning and memory ability were meaningfully decreased (P<0.05);the number of neuro-nal apoptosis in hippocampus was increased significantly ( P<0.05 ); the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2 mRNA in hippocampus decreased significantly ( P<0.05);the expression of Bax and Bax mRNA in hippocampus increased sig-nificantly ( P<0.05 );The ability of learning and memory was positively correlated with expression of Bcl -2 ( P<0.05) and negatively correlated to the expression of Bax (P<0.05).Conclusions There is a relationship between impaired glucose regulation and the ability of learning and memory in rats , its mechanism may be potentially related to hippocampal neuronal apoptosis .

Objective To investigate the effect of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging guidance in the treatment of acute cere?bral infarction. Methods Patients (n=200) with acute cerebral infarction who visited our clinic within 6 hours underwent CTP examination and were divided into two groups:penumbra group and non-penumbra group according to their CTP imag?ing (presence of penumbra or not). Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt- PA) was administrated for intravenous thrombolysis in both groups. NIHSS (The NIH Stroke Scale), BI (Barthel Index), mRS (modified Rankin Scores) and hemor?rhagic transformation events of two groups were determined before and after thrombolysis to evaluate its effect and prognosis in these two group. Results Compared with non penumbra group, NIHSS was reduced in penumbra group from 7 days after rt-PA (6.67±3.46 vs 4.76±2.04), and this decrease became obvious at 4 weeks after rt-PA (6.67±3.46 vs 3.68±1.93). Effi?ciency rate at 4 week (60.3%) and good prognosis rate at 3 months(71.7%)were both significantly improved in penumbra group than those in non penumbra group(34.7%,56.8%). Conclusion rt-PA under CTP guidance is effective and safe in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. The thrombolytic therapy window can be enlarged according to the presence of pen?umbra or not and the bleeding conversion rate remains at low level.
