Objective To investigate the efficacy and security of tirofiban with low-dose heparin for treating progressing stroke with intracranial vessel stenosis,to analyze the clinical value of tirofiban in the treatment of ischemic stroke.Methods Clinical data of 26 patients treated with tirofiban and low-dose heparin for progressing stroke were retrospectively collected with NIHSS increment ≥3 within 6 days of stroke as the diagnosis standard.The degree of intracranial vessel stenosis was checked by CT angiography (CTA).The efficacy of tirofiban for treating progressing stroke,and the correlation between the degree of intracranial vessel stenosis and the prognosis of progressing stroke were observed.Results The percentage of progressing stroke patients with intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion was higher than without intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion (88.5 ％vs.11.5％,x2=14.786,P 0.000).There was a significant difference in NIHSS scores between progressing stroke patients with and without intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion before treatment (t 2.17,P=0.046).NIHSS scores were significantly decreased (t=3.59,P=0.021) in both two groups after treatment.MRS was lower in progressing stroke patients without intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion than in progressing stroke patients with intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion after treatment (t=6.79,P=0.001).The efficacy of tirofiban was higher in progressing stroke patients without intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion than in progressing stroke patients with intracranial vessel stenosis/lesion (60.2％ vs.30.8％,x2=4.35,P＜0.05).Conclusions Combination of tirofiban with low-dose heparin is safe and effective in the treatment of progressing stroke.The degree of intracranial vessel stenosis is correalted with progressing stroke prognosis.

Vascular Ti-Ni alloy stent which has the special shape memory and superelastic was analyzed about the effect on interaction with plaque and vessels and blood flow using finite element method(FEM) with COSMOS Works and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) with COSMOS FloWorks.The results showed that COSMOS could exactly simulate the hyperelasticity of Ti-Ni alloy stent;shape memory could cause great compliance of vessels but not easily damage vascular wall;the hyperelasticity might cause stronger supporting force to properly shorten length of supporting tendon so as to increase the supporting force of the stent;the compliance was beneficial for blood circulation and decrease incidence of vascular restenosis.

αB-crystallin is the structural protein of vertebrate lens, w hich is w idely expressed in non-lens tissue. As one of the heat shock protein fam ily m em bers,αB-crystallin possesses biological proper-ties of m olecular chaperones and anti-apoptotic effects. Multi-factor injuries, such as retinopathy, inflam-m ation and nervous system diseases, have a closely relationship w ith αB-crystallin. T his paper review s the research progress of the expression and m echanism ofαB-crystallin in retina and extraocular tissues and organs.

Objective To investigate concentration and distribution in blood and tissues of form icacid after m ethanol intoxication in rats. Methods The Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into groups for con-trol group and 3-day and 7-day intoxication treatm ent groups. The experim ental groups were adm inis-tered m ethanol by gavage with the initial dose of 8 m L/kg and followed with 4 m L/kg supplem ental dose 24 h later. After 3 days and 7 days later, rats were killed by decapitation. Then sam ples of cardiac blood, liver, kidney, brain, heart and stom ach of each group were collected. Form icacid concentrations were detected by high perform ance liquid chrom atography. Results Form icacid concentrations in tissues were higher than in blood. Com pared with 3-day intoxication group, there was an increase form icacid of concentration in brain and stom ach in 7-day intoxication group, while a decrease in liver and kidney (P<0.05). Conclusion H igh perform ance liquid chrom atography could be used to accurately detect form icacid. As the m etabolite of m ethanol, form icacid accum ulates in rat blood and tissues after intoxication and the concentrations in organs and tissues are obviously higher than in blood.

Objective To investigate the CT,MRI features and differential diagnosis of central nervous system primitive neuroec-todermal tumors (cPNET).Methods The CT and MRI findings of 1 5 cases with cPNET proved by pathology were analyzed retro-spectively,and we summarized the imaging features and differential diagnosis.Results For this group,the average age was (8.82± 2.53)and the male to female ratio was 9 ︰6.All lesions located in supratentorial region,which had relatively large volume (average diameter of 6.3 cm),cystic necrosis (12/15),and no or mild peritumoral edema.cPNET showed isodensity,slight hyperdensity or slight hypodensity on CT plain scan,and demonstrated uniform or inhomogeneous enhancement.On MRI plain scan,solid part showed isointensity or slight hypointensity signal on T1 WI,isointensity or slight hyperintensity signal on T2 WI,hyperintensity sig-nal on DWI(12/15),isointensity(9/15)or slightly hyperintensity signal on FLAIR,and showed obvious uniform,honeycombed or irregular enhancement after enhanced scan,no enhancement in cystic necrosis.Conclusion cPNET have certain characteristics,inclu-ding the lower onset age,relatively large volume with well-defined edge and no or mild peritumoral edema,hyperintensity signal on DWI,isointensity signal on FLAIR.

Objective To investigate the risk factors on children with coronary artery lesions (CAL) secondary to Kawasaki di-sease(KD). Methods One hundred and forty - five patients with KD from January 1999 to December 2001 were collected. Among them, 93 cases without CAL and 52 cases with CAL. The test results, therapeutic methods and prognosis were analyzed in two groups. Results The duration of fever was longer and mean value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) higher in group with CAL than those m the group without CAL(P0.05).The incidence of CAL was 18.8% (18/96) in patients of IVIG treatment within 10 days from onset, and 69.4% (34/49) in patients without IVIG treatment (P

Objective To explore if there is a difference in blood pressure in left and right extremities.Methods A total of 20164 adults who took part in health check-up at Health Examination Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between December 2009 and August 2011were enrolled in this study.Age,height and body weight were recorded,and blood pressure in extremities was measured in synchronous way by using an arteriosclerosis detector.Results (1) Blood pressure in upper left extremity was slightly higher than that in upper and lower right extremity ( all P =0.0001).( 2 ) Difference in diastolic blood pressure in upper left and right limbs in females (2.1±6.7) mm Hg(1mm Hg =0.133 kPa) was more significant than that in males (1.4 +6.5 ) mm Hg ( P =0.0000).In males,difference in systolic blood pressure between two lower extremities ( 2.3 ± 9.6 )mm Hg was more significant than that in females (1.9 ±13.4) mm Hg ( P =0.0225 ).( 3 ) The above mentioned differences were found in low or normal weight and over-weight/obesity populations,which was not correlated with body mess index.(4) The difference of diastolic blood pressure in left and right limbs of relatively taller adults ( ＞170 cm) was more significant than that in shorter populations ( ＜170 cm ) (P =0.001).Conclusion The differences in blood pressure in left and right extremities do exist.
