1.Precise medicine of traumatic brain injury
Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(8):788-790
With the efforts of several generations, modern medicine has been from experience medicine and evidence-based medicine to the precise medicine. The precision medicine has also become a common goal for global clinical workers. However, traumatic brain injury involves a wide range and various types of injuries. The extent of the brain damage caused by trauma is complex. There is still a big gap between current medicine and precise medicine in the treatment of traumatic brain injury. Therefore, to achieve accurate, punctual, sharing and individualized precision medicine of traumatic brain injury, we must follow the objective routines of traumatic brain injury, and constantly improve the monitoring and treatment means of traumatic brain injury, and constantly improve the clinical research with globalization, multi-center, large data and prospection.

Objective To evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA ) in medical treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) .Methods A total of 19 patients with CT-confirmed CSDH in our department from Mar 2014 to Aug 2015 received an in-travenous dose of 1g TXA in the first week ,and followed by a maintenance oral dose of 250 mg TXA three times a day for 1 - 5 months (2 .73 ± 1 .05) months .These patients received a follow-up period of 6 - 10 months .Hematoma volume and neurological functions were compared before and after treatment .Results The therapeutic outcome was divided into effectiveness and ineffec-tiveness .Thirteen cases (68 .4% ) were effective ;six cases (31 .6% ) were ineffective .Among them ,three patients (15 .8% ) whose neurological functions deteriorated underwent surgery ,one patient (5 .3% ) who did not show any improvement with initial one month of TXA underwent surgery ,one patient (5 .3% ) stopped the treatment due to the side-effect of drug ,one patient (5 .3% ) lost .Conclusion Results of this preliminary study show that the administration of TXA is effective and safe in treating CSDH .

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of LVIS stent combined with coil embolization of ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms during the acute phase.Methods From May 2014 to August 2017,the clinical and imaging data of 56 patients with ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysm treated with LVIS stents for acute phase assisted embolization at the Department of Neurosurgery,the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were treated with LVIS stent combined with coil embolization.Immediate postoperative angiography,six months after procedure,and follow-up imaging were evaluated by Raymond grade (RS grade).The clinical follow-up results were evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score.Results LVIS stent combined with coil embolization was performed in 56 patients with 60 aneurysms in this group.The success rate of stent release was 100%.Immediate angiography after procedure showed that the complete embolization rate of aneurysms was 80.0% (48/60),the near complete embolization rate was 13.3 % (8/60),and the incomplete embolization rate was 6.7% (4/60).Postoperative follow-up angiography at 6 monthrevealed that the complete embolization rate of aneurysms was 87.8% (36/41),nearly complete embolization rate was 7.3% (3/41),incomplete embolization rate was 4.9% (2/41).Postoperative follow-up angiography at 12 months revealed that the complete embolization rate of aneurysms was 83.0% (39/47),and near complete embolization rate was 12.8% (6/47),and incomplete embolization rate was 4.3% (2/47).Of the 56 patients,49 were followed up clinically and 7 were lost to follow up.The average follow-up time was 13 ± 4 months.The clinical follow-up showed that the good prognosis (mRS score 0-2) rate was 87.8% (43/49).Intraoperative complications occurred in 7 cases,5 were intraoperative parent artery thrombosis and 2 were intraoperative aneurysm rupture.Conclusions LVIS stent combined with coil embolization of ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms during the acute phase has good efficacy and safety.Its long-term efficacy remains to be confirmed by long-term follow-up.

Objective To explore the risk factors of recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) after drilling and drainage,and to explore the cumulative risk of various risk factors in recurrence.Methods A retrospective analysis of 257 patients with CSDH,admitted to and accepted complete drainage in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2015,was performed;234 patients were without recurrence and 23 patients with recurrence.The risk factors of relapse,including age,hypertension,diabetes,hematoma characteristics,preoperative hematoma thickness,preoperative median deviation,hematoma thickness at discharge,midline deviation at discharge and hematoma density,were analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was performed to conform the independent risk factors and cumulative risk of multiple possible risk factors.Results Univariate analysis showed that age,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,preoperative hematoma thickness,preoperative median deviation,hematoma thickness at discharge,midline deviation at discharge and hematoma density were significantly different between the patients without recurrence and patients with recurrence (P<0.05).Age,diabetes mellitus,preoperative hematoma thickness,and midline shift at discharge were independent risk factors for postoperative drilling recurrence.The cumulative effect of risk factors was that patients with two independent risk factors had a relapse risk of one 4.22-9.50-fold in patients with or without recurrence-independent risk factors,with a risk of recurrence of up to 38.0-fold in patients with three or four independent risk factors.Conclusions The risk factors of recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma after bile duct drainage are age,diabetes mellitus,preoperative hematoma thickness ≥20 mm and midline deviation ≥ 5 mm at discharge.When more independent risk factors are combined,fold increase of cumulative risk of recurrence is noted.

Objective To investigate the correlation of rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms with aneurysm diameter,blood pressure,neck width,gender,age,and smoking and alcohol histories of the patients.Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical and radiological data of 928 patients with intracranial aneurysm,admitted to our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012,was performed; according to rupture situation,these patients were divide into ruptured group (n=411) and unruptured group (n=517); univariate analysis and multivaviable Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms,including aneurysm diameter,blood pressure,neck width,gender,age,and smoking and alcohol histories.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical significances between the two groups on aneurysm diameter,blood pressure,aneurysm neck width,gender,smoking history (P<0.05); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that aneurysm diameter was the independent risk factor of rupture of aneurysms (P=0.001).Conclusion Aneurysm diameter is a key risk of rupture for intracranial aneurysms,while rupture of intracranial aneurysms is not correlated to the blood pressure,aneurysm neck width,gender,age,and smoking and alcohol histories.
