Objective To report 2 cases of Fabry disease with early-onset ischemic stroke and investigate the clinical and image features. Methods The 2 patients developed dizziness, diplopia and progressive memory decline at 32 and 25 years of age respectively. The α-galactosidase A (GLA)activity was 4. 3 U in case 1 and 1. 0 U in case 2 ( normal range 100-500 U). Skin biopsy showed numerous membrane bounded osmiophilic laminar material in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. GLA gene analysis revealed GLA exon 7 1033-1034 TC del in case 1 and GLA exon 3 466G > A in case 2. The 2 patients were evaluated by Mainz severity score index (MSSI) and cranial MRI. Results The general MSSI was 32 in case 1 and 16 in case 2, with the highest score of neurological score ( 11 and 14). Both cases showed multifocal infarcts in bilateral cerebellum, occipital lobe, basal ganglia, which were hypointensity on T1 WI and hyperintensity on T2WI. There were hyperintensity changes in the pulvinar and basal ganglia on T1 WI in case 2. Conclusions Cerebral ischemic stroke could appear as initial symptoms in Fabry disease,which predominantly involved the posterior circulation. There might be no dilation of basal-vertebral artery.

Purpose To analyze the perfusion differences of different pancreatic diseases using the low-dose whole organ dynamic volume CT perfusion imaging, and to provide the evidence for the clinical application. Materials and Methods Twenty-eight patients suspected as pancreatic disease were applied by 640 layer volume CT perfusion imaging for the pancreas. Data were collected at the same time of bolus injection of contrast agent, then were analyzed by spatial alignment and perfusion calculation using the perfusion software. The time-density curve, blood perfusion flow diagram and tissue artery blood flow were obtained using the maximum slope method. Results Normal pancreatic tissue (n=9) blood flow was (117.04±12.05) ml/(min?100 ml), pancreatitis organizations (6 cases with acute pancreatitis and 3 cases with chronic pancreatitis) (118.67±37.18) ml/(min?100 ml), pancreatic carcinoma tissue (n=10) was (67.16±18.94) ml/(min?100 ml). There was significant difference among three groups (F=8.59, P<0.001);the difference was demonstrated in pancreatic cancer vs. normal pancreas and pancreatic cancer vs. pancreatitis group (q=3.70, P<0.05), which could be clearly demonstrated by blood perfusion flow diagram. The difference was not statistically revealed pancreatitis and normal pancreas group (q=2.91, P>0.05). The total dose of X-rays in the whole scanning process was 21.5-23.9 mSv. Conclusion Low-dose whole pancreas organ CT perfusion scan can quantitatively analyze the hemodynamic changes in pancreatic disease, which be of great value for evaluating changes in microcirculation during the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To investigate the variation characteristics and influencing factors of HIV/AIDS subtypes in Wuxi city of Jiangsu Province from 2014 to 2016.Methods:HIV/AIDS population in Wuxi city in 2014 was selected as the research object, and the HIV molecular epidemiology and follow-up study were carried out. Collect epidemiological information, extract DNA from blood samples, amplify pol gene fragment by nest-PCR and sequence, use ChromasPro 1.6 software and MEGA 7.0 software to construct the HIV-1 sequence database, and use FastTree2.1.10 software to construct the phylogenetic tree to confirm the subtype; in 2016, the same population was followed up, and the HIV subtype variation was analyzed, and the influencing factors of subtype variation were explored by multivariate logistic regression. Results:A total of 612 HIV/AIDS cases in 2014 and 2016 were collected. The age of the subjects was mainly 30 years old or above (85.46%, 523/612), and the proportion of people over 50 years old was higher (228/612, 37.25%). The main route of transmission was homosexuality, accounting for 49.67%. A total of 1224 samples were detected and CRF01 _ AE、CRF07_ BC、B、CRF08_ BC、CRF67_ 01B、CRF55_ 01B、CRF68_ 01B, 7 subtypes of HIV-1 and 5 unique recombinant types (URFs) was detected. CRF01_ AE and CRF07_ BC was still the main genotype in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, accounting for 66.75%. There were 29 cases (3.56%) of URFs recombinant strains. During 2014-2016, the variation rate of subtypes was 14.63%, and the most common variation was CRF01_ AE changes to CRF07_ BC(13.95%). Marital status (OR=0.363, 95% CI: 0.137-0.964) and baseline CD4 level (OR=0.414, 95% CI: 0.192-0.891) were associated with subtype variation.Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes of HIV/AIDS patients in Wuxi city are diverse and complex, the proportion of recombinant subtypes is rising, the URFs that are difficult to determine the genotype increase significantly, and the variation rate of HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS infected people is high. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of HIV-1 subtypes.

Objective Toinvestigatetheoperativeeffectandsafetyofendovascularstentingfor thetreatmentofsymptomaticvertebralarteryostialstenosis.Methods Fortypatientswithsymptomatic vertebral artery ostial stenosis and stenosis rate ≥70% were admitted to the Department of Neurology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from November 2010 to January 2013 were enrolled retrospectively. All patients received endovascular stenting therapy,15 of them were implanted bare metal stents,and 25 were implanted drug eluting stents. The technical successful rate of operation,perioperation complications,and symptom remission rate of the patients were analyzed. At the same time,stroke and death incident as well as the related ischemic symptoms of the stent vascular feeding area in the follow-up period (13 to 36 months)wereobservedandtherestenosisratewasdocumented.Results Atotalof42stentswereimplanted in 40 patients,and the technical success rate was 100. 0%. The preoperative stenosis rate of vertebral artery ostial stenosis was 75% to 99%(mean 85 ± 7%);the postoperative stenosis rate was 0% to 20%(mean 6 ± 4%). There was no perioperative complication. The clinical symptoms of 19 patients disappeared completely,16 were improved significantly within the follow-up period,and the symptom remission rate was 87. 5%. No stent vascular feeding area related stroke and death occurred. Four patients had transient ischemic attack in posterior circulation,13 had restenosis after procedure (10 of them with bare mental stents and 3 with drug eluting stents). There was significant difference in restenosis rate between the bare mental stents andthedrugelutingstents(10/15vs3/25,P=0.001).Conclusion Endovascularstentingforthe treatment of the severe symptomatic vertebral artery ostial stenosis is a safe and efficient method. Although its restenosis rate is high,but it can improve the symptom of posterior circulation ischemia effectively.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk and application of nutritional support among elderly hospitalized patients.Methods:Elderly hospitalized patients from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) were consecutively enrolled from Feb 2016 to Feb 2019. Nutritional risk was measured by using nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002) within the first 24h after admission. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), grip strength (GS), lean body mass (LBM), body fat (BF) and dietary intake were measured and compared between the patients at risk and not at-risk. Nutritional support was evaluated on 14th day of admission or the discharge day. The relationship between nutritional risk and nutrition support was analyzed.Results:A total of 428 elderly hospitalized patients who met entry criteria and obtained informed consent were consecutively enrolled. The prevalence of nutritional risk (NRS score≥3) was 57.9% (248/428), and it increased significantly with age ( χ2 value was 39.11, P<0.05). Compared to not at-risk group, body weight ( t value was 3.405, P<0.01) , BMI ( t value was 2.715, P<0.05) , GS ( t value was -0.975, P<0.05) , BF% ( t value was 2.934, P<0.05) , LBM ( t value was 1.570, P<0.05) , 75% target energy intake ( χ2 value was 22.55, P<0.01)and 75% target protein intake ( χ2 value was 25.91, P<0.01) were significantly decreased in those of at risk group. There were 62.5% patients at nutritional risk and 19.7% not at-risk which received nutrition support. The average ratio of EN and PN was 1.0∶0.6. Conclusions:NRS-2002 might be used for nutritional screening among elderly inpatients. A large proportion of elderly inpatients were at nutritional risk. The nutritional status of elderly patients in different disease states is different, which deserves attention. The application of EN and PN was some inappropriate in these inpatients, and evidence-based nutritional support guideline is needed to improve this situation.
