Objective To investigate and analyze the relationship of the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and carotid artery atherosclerosis with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods Fifty-nine patients with ACI were assigned as experimental group and thirty healthy people as control group. The serum level of hs-CRP was measured, and the carotid plaques and the changes of carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography.Then the relationship between the serum level of hs-CRP and the severity of disease was analyzed.Results The serum level of hs-CRP was higher in ACI group than in control group [(5.96± 1.52)mg/L vs. (1.78±1.02) mg/L, t=15.383, P<0.01]. The detection rates of carotid plaques and the increased carotid IMT were higher in ACI group than in control group [77.97% vs. 36.67%, x2 =12.92, P<0.01; (1.18±0.17) mm vs. (1.02±0.15) mm, t=4.544, P<0.05]. The hs-CRP levels were higher in the severe cases [(15.68±1.45) mg/L] than in moderate cases [(4.16±1.39)mg/L] and mild cases [(1.88±0.34) mg/L, t=37. 217, 25. 243, both P<0.01]. Conclusions The elevated levels of hs-CRP have overt clinical significances for the atherothrombotic cerebral infarction. Early determination of hs-CRP is helpful to evaluate patient's condition and prognosis.

Objective:
To investigate the application value of Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skill Model (IMB)-based continuing care on the recovery of nerve function and life quality in patients with stroke after thrombolytic therapy.
Methods:
Stroke patients who underwent thrombolytic therapy were randomly assigned to IMB group(35 cases) and control group(35 cases) according to the method of random number table. The control group recieved routine thrombolysis nursing, IMB group was given IMB-based continuing care. After six months of intervention, nerve function was evaluated by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Scale(MRS), the active ability was performed by Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(FMA) and Barthel Index(BI), the quality of life was assessed by the item short from health survey(SF-36), respectively.
Results:
Before intervention, the scores of NIHSS, MRS, FMA, BI, SF-36 between two groups was no significant difference (

Objective To explore the relationship between serum miRNA-21 and miR-27b levels and prognosis of patients with renal clear cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 118 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma admitted to the Qinghai University Hospital from February 2019 to April 2021 were selected as the study subjects,and another 118 healthy patients in the same period as the control group.Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detect the expression of miR-21 and miR-27b in the serum of all subjects.The relative expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b between the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma and healthy control patients were compared.The expression and correlation of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma of different pathological stages and Fuhrman grading were analyzed.The relationship between the expression of serum miR-21 and miR-27b and the survival and prognosis of the patients was explored as well.Results The expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma were higher than those in the healthy control group(P<0.05).The serum miR-21 expression level in stage Ⅲ patients was higher than in stageⅠ(P<0.05),while the serum miR-21 expression level in the stage Ⅳ patients was higher than that in stagesⅠ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ(P<0.05).The expression level of miR-27b in the serum of patients gradually increased across the four stages,with a significant difference(P<0.05).The pathological staging was positively correlated with the expression of miR-21 and miR-27b(P<0.001).The expression levels of miR-21 and miR-27b in serum of patients gradually increased across grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ by Fuhrman grading,with significant difference(P<0.05).Fuhrman grading was positively correlated with the serum miR-21 and miR-27b expression(P<0.001).There was a statistically significant difference in the survival curve between the miR-21 high expression group and the low expression group(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the survival curve between the high expression group and the low expression group of miR-27b(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in patients with renal clear cell carcinoma is indicative of the progression and prognosis of the patient's condition.
