Objective To investigate the clinical features and surgical treatment of cerebral amyloid angiopathy hemorrhage (CAAH) caused by cerebral vascular amyloidosis.Methods The clinical data,radiological diagnoses,pathology results and treatment efficacies of 76 patients with CAAH,admitted to and performed surgery in our hospital from August 2010 to September 2015,were retrospectively analyzed.Results The first preoperative CT indicated that prompt hematomas were located in the cerebral hemisphere brain cortex,forming lobulated or irregular shape;2 or more lesions of recurrent hemorrhage were noted in 14 (18.4%);34 (44.7%) were with subarachnoid hemorrhage,16 (21.1%) were with intraventricular hemorrhage.Histopathological examination supported the diagnosis.Sixteen patients (21.1%) underwent second operation during hospitalization due to large amount of bleeding.During hospitalization,18 (23.7%) died,and 20 (26.3%) had long-term coma.During the follow-up period,23 patients (30.3%) had recurrent intracranial hemorrhage,of which,6 patients (7.9%) underwent surgical treatment,and 17 patients (22.4%) died.Conclusion The bleeding sites of CAAH mainly locate in the lobes of the brain surface,with lobulated or irregular shape,which is easily complicated with subarachnoid hemorrhage or intraventricular hemorrhage,with multiple features;diagnostic rate of CAAH can be improved by pathological examination of brain tissues and blood vessels;CAAH after surgery has high relapse rate and poor surgical results.

Respirasome, as a vital part of the oxidative phosphorylation system, undertakes the task of transferring electrons from the electron donors to oxygen and produces a proton concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane through the coupled translocation of protons. Copious research has been carried out on this lynchpin of respiration. From the discovery of individual respiratory complexes to the report of the high-resolution structure of mammalian respiratory supercomplex IIIIIV, scientists have gradually uncovered the mysterious veil of the electron transport chain (ETC). With the discovery of the mammalian respiratory mega complex IIIIIV, a new perspective emerges in the research field of the ETC. Behind these advances glitters the light of the revolution in both theory and technology. Here, we give a short review about how scientists 'see' the structure and the mechanism of respirasome from the macroscopic scale to the atomic scale during the past decades.
