Objective To compare the outcomes of Solitaire AB stent mechanical thrombectomy for the treatment of large-artery atherosclerotic stroke (LAA) and cardioembolic stroke (CES).Methods Acute ischemic stroke patients treated with Solitaire stent retriever device were enrolled retrospectively. They were divided into either a LAA group or a CES group according to the etiology. The outcomes in both groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor outcome (defined as the modified Rankin Scale score > 2) at 90 d after onset. Results A total of 39 patients were enrolled in the study. There were 18 patients in the LAA group (49. 2％), 6 (33. 3％) had good outcome at 90 days; there were 21 patients (50. 8％) in the CES group, 9 (42. 9％) had good outcome at 90 days. There was no significant difference in the the good outcome rate at 90 days in both groups (P = 0. 223). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only age was independently associated with poor outcome (odds ratio 1. 107, 95％ confidence interval 1. 016-1. 206; P = 0. 047), and stroke etiology subtype was not independently associated with poor outcome (odds ratio 0. 671, 95％ confidence interval 0. 078- 5. 743; P = 0. 716). Conclusions There was no significant difference in the clinical outcome between the patents with LAA and CES who received mechanical thrombectomy with Solitaire AB stent.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of rescue stenting after failure of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO). Methods From December 2015 to December 2017, patients with AIS caused by LVO and treated with Solitaire AB stent thrombectomy in the Fifth Central Hospital of Tianjin were enrolled retrospectively. CT scans were performed within 24 h after surgery. Symptomatic intracraninal hemorrhage (sICH) was defined as CT confirmed intracranial hemorrhage and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score increased ≥4. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale at 90 d after onset, and 0 to 2 was defined as good outcome. According to whether to receive rescue stenting or not, the patients were divided into 2 groups. The clinical outcomes and incidence of sICH were compared between the 2 groups. Results A total of 39 patients were enrolled. Among them, 29 (74. 3％) were successfully recanalized by mechanical thrombectomy and 10 (25. 6％) performed stenting after failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Four (40. 0％) in the stenting group and 11 (37. 9％) the non-stenting group had good outcomes respectively at 90 d. There was no significant difference (P = 1. 000). Two patients (20. 0％) and 1 patient (3. 4％) developed sICH within 24 h after operation in the stenting group and the non-stenting group respectively. There was also no significant difference (P = 0. 156). Conclusions Rescue stenting can be used as a safe and effective remedy for patients with failure of mechanical thrombectomy.

Objective: To isolate and identify exosomes from human serum, explore the feasibility of exosomal CEA for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Methods: Retrospective study.64 cases with colorectal cancer patients(41 cases with normal CEA results and 23cases with high CEA results), 20 cases with benign colorectal diseases patients and 40 cases with healthy people of department of physical examination from October 2015 to December 2016 in Tongji Hospital of Tongji University. Exosomes were isolated from these serum using ExoQuick, and then identified by using transmission electron microscopy, and Western Blot for morphology and molecular phenotype.The serum level of CEA and exosomal CEA was measureed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The diagnostic efficacy of serum Exosomal CEA concentration in the colorectal cancer by using U test and the subject work characteristic curve (ROC). Results: Exosomes in human serum was successfully extracted with ExoQuick kit.Exosomal CEA concentration in 64 cases with colorectal cancer patients (1 056.36-28 637.78)pg/ml was significantly higher than in cases with benign colorectal diseases patients (394.61-2 437.83)pg/ml and healthy controls(610.89-2 076.70)pg/ml(U=124.000, U=119.000, P<0.01). Exosomal CEA concentration in 41 colorectal cancer patients with normal serum CEA concentration(1 056.36-5 832.07)pg/ml was significantly higher than in benign colorectal diseases patients and healthy controls(U=113.000, U=119.000; P<0.01). ROC analysis of exosomal CEA yielded an AUC(area under the ROC curve)of 0.954(95% CI=0.919-0.988), which was higher than the serum CEA.The area under the ROC curve of serum Exosomal CEA concentration for colorectal cancer diagnosis is 0.954(95% CI=0.919-0.988), which is superior to the serum CEA concentration[0.636 (95% CI=0.531-0.742)]. Conclusions Isolation and detection of serum Exosomal CEA concentrations have a good diagnostic efficacy in colorectal cancer. It′s possible to be a marker for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 503-508)

Objective To investigate the impacts of tanshinone ⅡA(Tan ⅡA)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)induced proliferation and apoptosis of dental pulp stem cells by regulating the fatty acid synthase(Fas)/fatty acid synthase ligand(FasL)signaling pathway.Methods Identification of human pulp stem cells(hDPSCs)isolated from the third molar of 18～20 years old patients requiring orthodontics.Lps-induced hDPSCs were treated with low,medium and high doses of Tan ⅡA,and then human recombinant FasL protein(rh FasL)was used to intervene the LPS-induced hDPSCs after high dose Tan ⅡA.Proliferation and apoptosis of hDPSCs,levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin(IL)-6 in hDPSCs supernatant,proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),Cleaved aspartate-specific cysteine proteinase-3(Cleaved Caspase-3),Fas,FasL protein expression were detected.Results hDPSCs were successfully isolated.In a dose-dependent manner,Tan ⅡA promoted LPS-induced proliferation,inhibited apoptosis,up-regulated PCNA protein expression,and inhibited TNF-α,IL-6 level,Cleaved Caspase-3,Fas,and FasL protein expression.The effect of rh FasL on LPS-induced dental pulp stem cells was opposite to the above indexes(P<0.05).rh FasL attenuates the effect of high-dose Tan ⅡA on pro-liferation and apoptosis of LPS-induced dental pulp stem cells.Conclusion Tan ⅡA may promote LPS induced hDPSCs proliferation and inhibit apoptosis by inhibiting the Fas/FasL signaling pathway.

Drug therapy is a common method to cure diseases and relieve symptoms.The value of patient-reported outcome(PRO)in evaluating the effect of drug therapy has been increasingly paid attention.The PRO scale is a standardized questionnaire,which can scientifically evaluate the experiences and subjective effects of drug use from a patient-centered perspective,and help patients and clinicians make more reasonable medication decisions.By reviewing and sorting out relevant global literature,this paper found that the content of the PRO scales relevant to drug therapy focused on five fields:"medication satisfaction""medication adherence""drug treatment burden""medication-related quality of life"and"adverse drug reactions".This paper described the basic information,measurement characteristics and application of common scales in recent years respectively,and summarized and analyzed the problems and enlightenment of scale development,aiming to provide theoretical reference for the selection,application and development of PRO scales.
