Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of transcranial ultrasound to arterial recanalization in acute ischemic stroke patients.Methods: Eighty cases of patients with acute ischemic stroke from February 2010 to May 2013 in our hospital were chosen as the experimental objects, and were divided into experimental group and control group randomly. The control group were treated with urokinase and transcranial ultrasound, the experimental group were treated with urokinase and placebo. The clinical effects of each group were compared.Results: The experimental group in the 2h and 24h when the recanalization rate was obviously higher than the control group, and the difference is statistically significant(x2=8.916,x2=8.155,P<0.05). Symptoms improved rate of patients in the 2h and 24h in the experimental group was obviously higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. The experimental group prognostic good rate was 56.09%, while the control group was 23.08%, the difference was statistically significant(x2=9.081,P<0.05). The two groups had no statistically significant difference in mortality(x2=0.005,P<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with acute ischemic stroke with transcranial ultrasound treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of the patients condition, improve the rate of recanalization.

Objective: To investigate trends in the disease burden of tumors among children aged 0 to 14 years in China in 1990 and 2019, so as to provide insights into management of pediatric tumors in China. Methods: The Global Burden of Disease 2019 data were retrieved from the Global Health Data Exchange, and the mortality and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) of pediatric tumors were evaluated among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China in 1990 and 2019, and the disease burdens due to pediatric tumors in China were compared with the regions with different social population index (SDI). Results: The mortality of tumors decreased from 13.10/105 in 1990 to 4.96/105 in 2019 (a 62.17% reduction) among children aged 0 to 14 years in China, and the DALY rate decreased from 1 118.93/105 to 424.77/105 (a 62.04% reduction). The mortality and DALY rate of tumors decreased from 13.48/105 to 5.38/105, and from 1 147.09/105 to 458.65/105 among male children, and from 12.69/105 to 4.46/105, and from 1 088.22/105 to 384.94/105 among female children. The disease burden of pediatric tumors was concentrated among children at ages of 0 to 4 years. The three highest disease burdens of pediatric tumors were measured in leukemia, brain and nerve system tumors, and lymphoma in 2019. Compared with the regions with different SDI, the largest reductions were seen in the mortality and DALY rate of tumors among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China, which were still higher than in middle, high-middle and high SDI regions. Conclusions The disease burden of tumors declined among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China in 2019, compared with 1990; however, it is still higher than in middle and higher SDI regions. The disease burden of pediatric tumors was high among children at ages of 0 to 4 years and among male children, with leukemia, brain and nerve system tumors and lymphoma as predominant types.

Objective: To explore the effect of KangXin oral solution on brain mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) deletion mutation in aged Balb/c mice.Methods: The Balb/c mice were divided into the young group(6weeks),middle-aged group(6months) and aged group(14 months),each group has 10 mice.Brain mtDNA were obtained and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique was used to examine the fragment deletion of brain mtDNA,thus,to confi rm there was deletion of mtDNA in aged mice,s brain.The aged Balb/c mice were divided into two groups: the aged blank control group being given 0.9% normal sodium,KangXin oral solution group.After being treated for four months,the brain mtDNA were obtained and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique was used to amplify wild-type and deletion from of mtDNA.Gel imaging meter was used to detect optical density,then,to compare the optical density ratios of deletion from mtDNA/ wide type mtDNA in two groups.Results: There were 304bp mtDNA deletion in brain mitochondrial of aged Balb/c mice,but same mtDNA deletions were not detected in brain mitochondrial of young and middle-aged mice.Compared with aged blank control group,the mtDNA deletion of aged Balb/c mice in KangXin oral solution group decreased obviously(P〈0.001).Conclusion: mtDNA deletion mutation accumulates with the increase of age.KangXin oral solution can inhibit mtDNA deletion of aged mice.
