Recent studies suggest that lacunar infarction is a high risk ischemic cerebrovascular disease highly correlated with the time, which optimistic prognosis is not as good as previously thought.In addition, the role of macrovascular diseases has not been paid attention, it is not conducive to secondary prevention and early intervention for the etiology of lacunar infarction.This review focu-ses on application of imaging diagnosis of lacunar infarction, the etiology of non-lacunar infarct, and differential diagnosis of lacunar in-farction.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value and safety of radiotherapy combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with brain metastasis driven by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation.Methods A retrospective cohort of 21 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutation-driven brain metastasis was recruited.10 patients (treatment group) were randomly selected for radiotherapy combined with TKI treatment,and 11 patients (control group) were treated with radiotherapy.Tumor size was measured and clinical efficacy was evaluated by MRI in the four weeks after radiotherapy.Since then,a clinical response was evaluated every three months until disease progression,and the median overall survival time was calculated.Results The objective remission was 8 cases in treatment group and 4 cases in control group.The disease control was 9 cases in treatment group and 8 cases in control group.The median overall survival time of treatment and control groups was 11.2 months and 6.4 months,respectively.Adverse reactions in treatment group mainly contained nausea,diarrhea and rash,which all were tolerated.Conclusion Radiotherapy combined with TKI is superior to radiotherapy alone in effect and safety for treatment of NSCLC with EGFR mutation-driven brain metastasis.

Objective To analyze risk factors of vascular disease in the lower limbs in type 2 diabetes patients.Meth- ods Investigating the lower limb vein of 80 type 2 diabetes patients with Siemens G-50 color Doppler ultrasonograph, and recording their age,sex,course of disease,and blood pressure,at the same time,take some tests as follows: FBG,P2hBG,FIN,C-peptide HbA_1c,Tch,UAE.Results Compared to the control group,blood pressure, FBG,P2hBG,Tch,TG,HbA_1c,Tch,UAE of the type 2 diabetes patients with lower limb vascular disease,are all increased significantly(P

The effect of bee pollen of Brassica campestris L. and its alcohol extract on lipid peroxidation was observed in vivo and in vitro.The results showed that the production of lipid peroxides in normal liver hotnogenate of mice and elevation of production of lipid peroxides induced by cysteine and FeSO4 in homogenate were found to be inhibited significantly by in vitro addition of alcohol extract of bee pollen.The elevation of lipid peroxides in serum and liver in adult mice induced by alloxan 75 mg/kg(iv)or by administration of peroxidized corn oil 0.2 ml/mouse was markedly inhibited by oral administration of bee pollen (10 g? kg-1?d-1)for 20 days as compared with respective control groups.The level of lipid peroxide in geriatric mice was also markedly lowered by oral administration of bee pollen (10 g?kg-1?d-1)for 3 months as compared to non-treated geriatric mice.Based on the above in vitro and in vivo experimental results, it may be suggested that bee pollen and its alcohol extract protect tissues against destruction by lipid peroxides.

A novel solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent for simultaneous extraction of atrazine (ATZ) and its metabolites, deisopropylatrazine (DIA) and deethylatrazine (DEA) from environmental water samples was prepared. Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PAN NFs) mat was prepared via electrospinning, and was further functionalized to obtain polypyrrole modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PPy-PAN NFs) mat, hydrazine modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (NH2-PAN NFs) mat and carboxyl modified polyacrylonitrile (COOH-PAN NFs) mat. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of COOH-PAN NFs mat was better than other three NFs mats in both static (2.0 mg/g) and dynamic (0.19 mg/g) experiments. Meanwhile, the runoff ratios of COOH-PAN NFs mat were the lowest (less than 30.0％) in the adsorption of three analytes, especially for high polar analytes, which showed that the hydrogen bond between carboxyl groups and analytes was the main interactive force. A combination of mat-based SPE and high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection was further established for determination of 3 analytes in environmental water samples. The recoveries were 81.4％-120.3％ and the limits of detection were 0.12 ng/mL for DIA, 0.09 ng/mL for DEA and ATZ, respectively.

Based on the current shortage of genuine/false authentication and quality evaluation in the molecular identification, and the weak functional gene research in the establishment of two-dimensional molecular markering methods for Chinese materia medica, the authors proposed a new method, the bimolecular marking methods (BIMM) for Chinese materia medica, combining DNA marker and metabolomics marker, that could simultaneously research the species and quality differences at the molecular level at the present stage. The authors introduced the concept, principle, methods, and technical process of BIMM, and summarized the technical advantages in this paper. Meanwhile, the application of BIMM in the identification of multiple sources of Chinese materia medica, years-identification, different locations, elite germplasm research, discovery of new drugs resources, protection of new varieties was also discussed. As a supplement of two-dimensional molecular markering method for Chinese materia medica, BIMM would not only expand connotation of identification of Chinese materia medica but also provide another effective way for quality evaluating.

Objective To realize the feature of drug resistance in elderly inpatients with tuberculosis in Tianjin. Methods The data of anti-tuberculosis drug sensitivity test of 296 elderly inpatients in Tianjin Haihe Hospital were collected from January 2008 to September 2009. And they were retrospectively analyzed compared with the non-elderly tuberculosis inpatients in the same period.Results (1)The 296 elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were enrolled in this study. The total rate of drug resistance was 28.7% and total rate of multi-drug resistance was 8.8 %. The initial drug resistance rate was 22.2% and initial multi-drug resistance rate was 6.1%. The acquired drug resistance rate was 41.8% and acquired multi-drug resistance rate was 14.3%. (2)The order of drug resistance rate from high to low was isoniazid, streptomycin, rifampin and ethambutal, respectively.(3) The drug resistance rate did not show significant difference among different sex groups (x2 =0. 002, P＞0. 05). (4)The drug resistance rate and multi-drug resistance rate between elderly patients and non-elderly patients had significant differences (x2 = 10.8, 5.24, both P＜0.05). Conclusions The proportion of elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is high, however, its drug resistance rate and multi-drug resistance rate are much lower than non-elderlies.

Objective To validate the analytical performance of four LP(a)reagents with Immunoturbidimetry method used on the automatic biochemistry analyzer for preliminary clinical application.Methods The performance of four LP(a)reagents (labeled as A,B,C,D)with method from RANDOX,Zhejiang Kuake Co.,Beijing Leadman Co.and Beijing Jiuqiang Co.on Olympus AU5800 automatic biochemistry analyzer were assessed.The precision,linearity range,accuracy,disturbance (vita-min C,bilirubin,hemoglobin,TG)were assessed.Results The within-run CVs of the four reagents (A,B,C and D)were 0.64%~1.18%,3.59%~4.75%,1.33%~3.05% and 1.43%~2.01% respectively.The between-run CVs in A,B,C and D were 1.04%~1.7%,3.81%~4.93%,2.16%~4.76% and 2.33%~3.21% respectively,lower than the stated.The lin-earity range was 82~923 mg/L (r2 =0.997),130~935 mg/L (r 2 =0.996 4),120~1025 mg/L (r 2 =0.992 1)and 117~943 mg/L (r2 =0.999 5)in the four reagents,which demonstrated a sound linear correlation.For interference tests,no re-markable interferences (<±10%)of reagent A and reagent D were detected when Vitamin C≤10 mg/dl,hemoglobin≤200 mg/dl,bilirubin≤40 mg/dl and TG≤500 mg/dl.Interference of reagent B was found when VC≥5 mg/dl,TG≥250 mg/dl and when TG≥250 mg/dl reagent C was interfered significantly.The four LP(a)reagents were used to detect the lipid con-trol,and the deviations of the target value were - 8.07%,1.34%,- 8.05% and 7.38% respectively.Conclusion When used in automatic biochemical analyzer,the four LP(a)reagents showed high precision.The four reagents are all able to meet clinical test requirements,nevertheless,anti-interference capability were different.
