At present, the pathophysiological mechanisms of progressive stroke remain unclear. It is difficult to accurately predict which patients will have deterioration of neurological function. 1he factors of blood pressure, C-reactive protein concentration, cerebral artery stenosis, hyperglycemia, and infarct location in early stroke are closely associated with progressive stroke. It has some predictive values for its occurrence.

Objective To study the chest radiographic appearances of the non-tuberculous mycobacterial(NTM) pulmonary infection in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods Ten patients with AIDS and NTM underwent chest X-ray radiography and 7 patients performed high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan. Chest radiographic features of NTM in patients with AIDS were retrospectively analyzed. Results The chest radiograph showed bilateral pulmonary involvement in 6 cases and single lung involvement in 4 cases (3 cases in the right, 1 case in the left). Patchy air space consolidation (6 cases), large consolidation (5 cases), cavitation (5 cases), small nodules (3 cases),military nodules (2 cases), linear opacity ( 1 cases) were demonstrated on radiography. On HRCT, air space consolidation (7 cases), small nodules (6 cases), large consolidation (5 cases) with cavitation and cylindric bronchiectasis after the absorption of consolidation, enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes (4 cases), ground-glass opacities (3 cases), military nodules and "tree-in-bud" sign (2 case), pleural effusion ( 1 case), pericardial effusion ( 1 case) and fibrotic band ( 1 case) were found. Conclusion The most common radiographic appearances of NTM in patients with AIDS are bilateral small nodules, large consolidation with cavitation and cylindric bronchiectasis, enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes.

Objective:To investigate whether octyl ester derivative of ginsenoside Rh2(Rh2-O)can induce immunogenic cell death of Huh-7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells and possible mechanism.Methods:Huh-7 cells were cultured in vitro,and divided into control group,Rh2-O group,positive control group(mitoxantrone treatment).Viability and apoptosis of cells were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry,respectively.Concentrations of high mobility family protein 1(HMGB1)and adenosine triphosphate(ATP)in supernatant were detected by ELISA and chemiluminescence assay,respectively.Membrane eversion of calreticulin(CRT)was detected by immunofluorescence assay.ROS level in cells was detected by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA,and expressions of proteins associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway were detected by Western blot.Results:Rh2-O treatment significantly reduced cell viability,promoted apoptosis,induced secretion of HMGB1,ATP,membrane eversion of CRT,increased accumulation of ROS in cells,and enhanced expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins PERK,eIF2α,p-eIF2α(all P<0.05).After addition of endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA),membrane eversion of CRT induced by Rh2-O was significantly inhibited(P<0.05).Conclusion:Rh2-O can induce immunogenic cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma cells,whose mechanism may be associated with activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and promotion of CRT membrane eversion.
