Objective To study the effect of mild hypothermia on aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expressions and cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage and the mechanisms of mild hypothermia on hemorrhagic brain edema. Methods The model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was established by infusing collagenase into right globus pallidus of the rat. The temperature was regulated by ice cubes and daylight lamp, which was modulated to an appropriate distance to the animals. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the cerebral AQP4 expressions. Dynamic change of brain edema was observed through wet-dry weighing method. Results The brain water content (BWC) of injured side and level of AQP4 expression in perihematom tissue in ICH rats were obviously higher than those of the sham group (all P

Objective To evaluate the surgical procedures and clinical results to treat the bleph arochalasis.Methods A series of 43 blepharochalasis in 23 patients were surgically treated.A double eyelid fold incision was made.Surgeon clippd redundant skin of upper eyelid with forceps,so that would be excised was marked out.Then redundant skin and muscles as well as hernia septal fat were removed.The lacrimal glands were found and repositioned into lacrimal glands fossa behind superolateral orbital rim.We choose different methods to perform plastic operation in 23 cases of blepharochala sis according to different topographic anatomic characteristics.Results Postoperatively,not only the patients recovered in a followed-up period of 1-3 years,but all lacrimal glands were normally rep soitioned.Conclusions These methods are effective in patients with blepharochalasis and meet the cosmetic demands.Good clinical results in both function and appearance are achieved.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and stroke etiology classification in patients with acute isolated penetrating artery territory infarction.Methods:Patients with first-ever acute isolated penetrating artery territory infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2017 to May 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. According to the Chinese Ischemic Stroke Subclassification (CISS) system, they were divided into large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and perforating artery disease (PAD). According to the distribution of infarcts, they were divided into lenticulostriate artery (LSA) territory infarction and paramedian pontine artery (PPA) territory infarction. The demographics, vascular risk factors, baseline clinical data, WMHs location, and Fazekas Scale scores were documented. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent influencing factors of stroke etiology classification. Results:A total of 440 patients with acute isolated penetrating artery territory infarction were enrolled, including 120 (27.3%) in the LAA group, and 320 (72.7%) in the PAD group; 213 (48.4%) with LSA territory infarction, and 227 (51.6%) with PPA territory infarction. The proportion of patients with total Fazekas score 3-6 and periventricular WMHs (PWMHs) score 2-3 in the PAD group was significantly higher than those in the LAA group (all P<0.05). In patients with LSA territory infarction, the proportion of the patients with hypertension, WMHs total Fazekas score 3-6 and PWMHs score 2-3 in PAD subgroup was significantly higher than those in the LAA subgroup, while the proportion of the patients with hyperlipidemia was significantly lower than that in LAA subgroup (all P<0.05). In patients with PPA territory infarction, the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and homocysteine in the PAD subgroup were significantly lower than those in the LAA subgroup. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PWMHs score 2-3 was an independent correlation factor of PAD (odds ratio [ OR] 2.220, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.085-4.541; P=0.029). In patients with LSA territory infarction, hyperlipidemia was independently correlated with LAA ( OR 0.432, 95% CI 0.192-0.972; P=0.042), and PWMHs score 2-3 was independently correlated with PAD ( OR 3.846, 95% CI 1.193-12.397; P=0.024). In patients with PPA territory infarction, higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 0.660, 95% CI 0.494-0.883; P=0.005), homocysteine ( OR 0.958, 95% CI 0.930-0.987; P=0.005) and C-reactive protein ( OR 0.987, 95% CI 0.977-0.997; P=0.008) were independently correlated with LAA. Conclusions:WMHs are common in patients with acute isolated perforating territory infarction caused by LAA and PAD, and more severe PWMHs suggest that PAD is more likely to be the cause of the acute isolated perforating territory infarction, especially in patients with LSA territory infarction.

After the status quo of medical treatment quality management and its relevant problems were analyzed, how to build the platform for medical treatment quality management was proposed by establishing perioperative clinical data center and intelligent management engine through data sharing, integration and reconstitution based on the present hospital information system in order to standardize perioperative medical behaviors and protect the safety of patients.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Astragalus injection as an adjunctive therapy on the biology in patients with schizophrenia and its clinical efficacy. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to trial group(n=50) or control group(n=50). The trial group received routine antipsychotic drugs plus Astragalus injection (40 mL?d-1, iv gtt) for 7 days, and the control group received antipsychotic drugs alone without addition of traditional Chinese medicine for 7 days. All the patients received for a total of 4 courses of treatment. Besides, both groups received additional benzodiazepine but not other hipnotics. RESULTS: After treatment, there were significant differences between the trial group and the control group in ECG QTc duration, sugar level, therapeutic efficacy, PANSS scores (total score and the sub-item scores) and adverse reactions etc(P

Objective To study whether abnormalities can be detected by MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technology in radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) patients with normal-appearing white matter (NAWM).Methods Twenty-seven patients who met diagnostic criteria for RIS were collected.Sixteen age-and sex-matched healthy controls with normal neurologic examination findings and no history of neurologic or psychopathic disorders were included.All subjects were examined by both conventional scan and DTI scan on GE Signa 3.0 T MRI.All the images were transmitted to the Advantage Workstation 4.2P and postprocessed using functool software.Anisotropic maps and average diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were reconstructed.Two ROIs were selected in the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum separately at the trigone of lateral ventricle level.Other 2 ROIs were selected in the anterior and posterior body of the corpus callosum separately at the level of the lateral ventricle body,and 1 ROI was selected in the white matter of bilateral frontal and occipital lobe separately,then the FA and MD values were measured.The diffusion indices (FA and MD)were analysed by SPSS 13.0.Independent-sample t test was performed to examine the group differences in each subregion.Intraclass correlation coefficient analysis was performed to assess the diffusion indices of two measurements in each subregion.Results The ICC of 2 measurements was 0.934-0.989 (P ＜ 0.01),which showed favorable consistency.The FA values were decreased obviously in the genu,anterior and posterior body of the corpus callosum of the RIS patients compared with controls (0.705 ±0.040 vs 0.738 ±0.045,0.632 ±0.043 vs 0.675 ±0.042,0.628 ±0.043 vs 0.666 ± 0.045,t =-3.526,-4.487,-3.890,P ＜0.01),but the FA values of the two groups did not show any significant difference in the splenium,the white matter of the frontal and occipital lobe respectively (t =-1.387,-0.683,-1.243,P ＞0.05).In comparison with controls,the RIS patients had increased MD values in the genu,anterior and posterior body of the corpus callosum.(0.891 ±0.038 vs 0.874 ±0.035,0.839 ± 0.047 vs 0.794 ± 0.031,0.833 ± 0.039 vs 0.792 ± 0.057,t =2.101,5.836,5.146,P ＜ 0.05),but the MD values of the two groups did not show any significant difference in the splenium,the white matter of the frontal and occipital lobe respectively (t =1.671,1.702,1.624,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The NAWM abnormalities in the patients with radiologically isolated syndrome could be detected by DTI.

A novel method for simultaneous detection of mycotoxins (e.g.,aflatoxin B1) or their metabolic residues in animal plasma with impurity adsorption purification followed ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed.Extraction of mycotoxins and their metabolites from animal plasma sample was performed with 0.1％ formic acid-acetonitrile solution after addition of sodium chloride and hydrous magnesium sulfate.The extract was then dehydrated and purified with hydrous magnesium sulfate,C18,primary secondary amine,and alumina-A.3 mL of the supernatant was evaporated and re-dissolved with 0.5 mL of 0.1％ formic acid aqueous solution/acetonitrile (70∶ 30,V/V) for UPLC-MS/MS detection.The analytes were separated by a C18 column utilizing gradient elution with 0.1％ formic acid aqueous solution containing 0.5 mmol of ammonium acetate and 0.1％ formic acid-methanol solution,and finally detected by tandem mass spectrometry in positive/negative ESI mode.Identification and quantification were achieved by LC-MS/MS with multi-reaction monitoring (MRM).Good linearity in response was obtained in the analytes concentration range of 0.05-100 ng/mL with correlation coefficients larger than 0.99.The limits of quantification (S/N=10) were around 0.05-0.5 ng/mL.The recoveries of mycotoxins and their metabolites spiked in blank plasma samples were in the range of 62.0％-116.4％,with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 19.0％.

Two kinds of β2-agonistresidues in sheep plasma and urine were disposed by enzymolysis and organic solvent extraction pretreatment methods, and UPLC-MS/MS was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Detection results were compared to study the influences of two pretreatment methods. The experimental results showed that more than 95% of Ractopamine and 40% of Salbutamol exist in the conjugated form in sheep plasma. The detection results of 2 kinds of β2-agonist residues were significantly enhanced when adding β-glucuronidase/aryl sulfatase. The experimental repeatability is very poor ( RSD>40%) when the enzymolysis was not carried out. There were 57% of Ractopamine and less than 1% of Salbutamol exists in the conjugated form in sheep urine. Enzymolysis pretreatment method was useful for the Ractopamine residues determination in urine, and Enzymolysis pretreatment method was useless for Salbutamol determination in urine. Matrix effect of plasma was less than the effects of urine. The influence of organic solvent extraction pretreatment method on the detection results was unremarkable, and there was the possibility that organic solvent extraction could lead partial loss of target compound in extraction process. However, it did not influence the detection results by using internal standard calibration.

Objective To compare the clinical features between radiological isolated syndrome (RIS) and classical multiple sclerosis (CMS), in order to improve the understanding of the RIS. Methods All 35 patients with RIS and 32 patients with CMS were selected. The epidemiological and clinical findings, cerebrospinal fluid, neural electrophysiological examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were analyzed. Results There were no statistical differences in sex ratio and onset age between RIS patients and CMS patients (P>0.05). The main symptoms of in patients with RIS were headache (45.7%, 16/35), dizziness (40.0%, 14/35), hypomnesis (20.0%, 7/35) and psychiatric disorders (11.4%, 4/35). But the main symptoms of in patients with CMS were limb weakness (75.0%, 24/32), sensory abnormalities (68.8%, 22/32) and ocular symptoms (34.4%,11/32). The incidences of limb weakness, sensory abnormalities and ocular symptoms in patients with CMS were significantly higher than those in patients with RIS:75.0%(24/32) vs. 0, 68.8%(22/32) vs. 0 and 34.4%(11/32) vs. 0, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). The 18 patients with RIS and 21 patients with CMS underwent the examination of cerebrospinal fluid, and there was no significant difference in leukocyte between patients with RIS and patients with CMS (P>0.05). The cerebrospinal fluid protein and the incidences of IgG index>0.7 in patients with RIS were significantly lower than those in patients with CMS:0.175 (0.03-0.69) g/L vs. 0.440 (0.04-1.09) g/L and 3/18 vs. 47.6%(10/21), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The 15 patients with RIS and 22 patients with CMS underwent the examination of neural electrophysiological, and the abnormality rates of visual evoked potential (VEP) and brain stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) in patients with RIS were significantly lower than those in patients with CMS:4/15 vs. 63.6%(14/22) and 3/15 vs. 54.5%(12/22), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). But there was no statistical difference in the abnormality rate of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) between patients with RIS and patients with CMS (P>0.05). On MRI, the demyelinating lesions of RIS and CMS were both mainly distributed in the periventricular, semi-oval center, infratentorial white matter, partly involving corpus callosum or cortical. The rates of demyelinating lesions in brainstem and cerebellum in patients with RIS were significantly lower than those in patients with CMS:5.7%(2/35) vs. 34.4% (11/32) and 2.9% (1/35) vs. 25.0% (8/32), and there were statistical differences (P<0.01 or <0.05). Comparison with CMS lesions, RIS lesions mainly showed patching and stippled, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01 or <0.05). The rates of lesions enhancement and spinal cord injury in patients with RIS were significantly lower than those in patients with CMS: 2/17 vs. 45.0% (9/20) and 1/14 vs. 43.5% (10/23), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions There are differences in clinical findings, cerebrospinal fluid, neural electrophysiological examination and MRI appearances between RIS and CMS.
