Objective:To investigate the relationship between cerebrovascular variation and the occurrence and recurrence of cerebral infarction, and provide a theoretical basis for the precise prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction.Methods:Totally 13 939 patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) examination at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were grouped according to clinical symptoms combined with the imaging report, including 4 412 cases in the cerebral infarction group and 9 527 cases in the control group.2 048 patients in the cerebral infarction group were eventually enrolled in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 1 479 cases of initial cerebral infarction and 569 cases of recurrent cerebral infarction.SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.The χ2 test was used to compare the incidence of cerebral infarction with different cerebrovascular variations.Univariate analysis of suspected risk factors for recurrent cerebral infarction was performed with χ2 test, nonparametric test and t test.The binary logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors of recurrent cerebral infarction. Results:The incidence of cerebral infarction in the dual-system cerebrovascular variant patients, the single-system cerebrovascular variant patients, and the non-cerebrovascular variant patients were 40.9%, 30.7% and 31.8% respectively.The incidence of cerebral infarction in the dual-system cerebrovascular variant patients was the highest compared with those in the single-system cerebrovascular variant patients and the non-cerebrovascular variant patients (both P<0.05). The incidence rates of embryonic posterior cerebral artery, vertebral artery dominance, and bilateral common origin anterior cerebral arteries were 14.09%, 10.76% and 5.32%, respectively.The incidence of bilateral common origin anterior cerebral arteries in the cerebral infarction group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the difference was statistically significant.Patients with cerebral infarction who were familial aggregation ( OR=2.207, 95% CI=1.591-3.062), hyperhomocysteinemia ( OR=1.262, 95% CI=1.014-1.570), hypertension ( OR=1.461, 95% CI=1.114-1.918), diabetes mellitus ( OR=1.348, 95% CI=1.072-1.694), coronary heart disease ( OR=1.491, 95% CI=1.196-1.858) were more likely to recurrent cerebral infarction ( P<0.05), and patients with cerebral infarction had a significantly increased risk of recurrent cerebral infarction with age ( OR=1.031, 95% CI=1.020-1.042, P<0.05). Conclusion:Dual-system cerebrovascular variation and bilateral common origin anterior cerebral arteries are risk factors for cerebral infarction.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of drilling and drainage combined with atorvastatin calcium tablets in treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).Methods Totally,46 patients with CSDH,admitted to and received therapy in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2017,were selected for this research.These patients were divided into control group (n=16) and experimental group (n=30) according to therapeutic schemes.The patients from the control group underwent drilling and drainage.Besides that,the patients from the experimental group were given atorvastatin calcium tablets additionally,20 mg/d×2 months.Two months after that,the curative efficacy,hematoma volume before and after operation,pneumocephalus volume one week after operation,duration of tube drainage,length of hospital stay,China stroke scale (CSS) scores,activities of daily life-Barthel index scale (ADL-BI) and visual analog scale (VAS) score were compared between the patients from the two groups.Results Two months after treatment,patients from the experimental group had significantly decreased hematoma volume as compared with those from the control group (P＜0.05).The hematoma volume in both groups 2 months after treatment was significantly decreased as compared with that before treatment (P＜0.05).The pneumocephalus volume,indwelling time of drainage tube,and hospital stays in the experimental group were significantly shorter/lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05).The CSS scores and VAS scores in the experimental group 2 months after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05).The ADL-BI scores in the experimental group 2 months after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05).The ADL-BI scores in both groups 2 months after treatment was significantly increased as compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05).Conclusion As compared with simple use of drilling and drainage,drilling and drainage combined with atorvastatin calcium tablets can help hematoma absorption,decrease incidence of pneumocephalu,and improve prognosis effectively.
