International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(12):1583-1584,1587
Objective To investigate the correlation of matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9 )and tissue inhibitor of metalloprotei-nase-1(TIMP-1)with hemorrheology in male patients with diabetic cerebral infarction.Methods 56 patients with type 2 diabetic cerebral infarction(group A),49 cases with non-diabetic cerebral infarction(group B),and 40 cases of community healthy men (group C)were enrolled in the study.The serum levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 and hemorrheology indexes were detected.Results The levels of MMP-9 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 in group A were significantly higher than those in group B and C(P<0.05),however, TIMP-1 level in group A was significantly lower than that of group C(P<0.05).The levels of MMP-9 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 in group B existed significant increasing,compared with group C(P<0.05).The levels of high shear viscosity,plasma viscosity,and platelet aggregation index in group A were significantly higher than those in group B and C(P<0.05).While the levels of low shear viscosity,plasma specific viscosity,and platelet aggregation index showed significant differences between group B and C(P<0.05). MMP-9 positively correlated with high shear viscosity,plasma specific viscosity,and platelet aggregation index(P<0.05).TIMP-1 negatively correlated with high shear viscosity and plasma ratio viscosity(P<0.05).And MMP-9/TIMP-1 showed significant cor-relation with high shear viscosity,low shear viscosity,plasma specific viscosity,and platelet aggregation index(P<0.05).Conclusion In patients with diabetic cerebral infarction,MMP-9,TIMP-1 and their ratio show some correlation with hemorrheology indexes. Detecting these indexes would be helpful for the diagnosis of diabetic cerebral infarction.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of TCD and MRI in transient ischemic attack (TIA) of internal carotid artery system.Methods The clinic data was analyzed to contrast the relation of the clinic manifestation and the TCD and MRI results of 66 patients suffered from TIA of the internal carotid artery system.then chi-square test was adopted.Results In TIA interval, extensive hemodynamics changes were occurred in the intracranial arteries among 60 patients(90 9%), and 22 patients(33 3) presented different degrees of stricture on the corresponding symptom side, MRI test showed lacunar infarct or small infarct foci among 50 patients(75 8%), and ischemic leukoenporosis among 35 patients(53 5%). But the foci took a two-side distribution and were relatively symmetrical. No significant correlation existed between the symptom and the foci,and the positive rate of TCD did not show remarkable difference between the symptoms and the foci, and the positive ratio of TCD did not show remarkable difference whether the MRI infarct foci existed or not. Meanwhile, there were also no notable distinction between the stricture change of arteries in the corresponding symptom side with the infarct foci and that of arteries in the corresponding symptom side without the infarct foci.Conclusions TCD can find the change of arteries related in TIA of the internal carotid artery system, and can be used as routine and primary screening. While MRI may bear no special clinic significance to TIA of the internal carotid artery system, but it has localization meaning to CWS, a clinical subtype of TIA.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of MRS in prostate cancer based on sextant localization. Methods There were 110 patients, 54 patients with pathologically confirmed prostate cancer and 56 patients confirmed non-prostate cancer proved by ultrasound guided systemic biopsy. The (choline + creatine)/citrate (CC/C) value in each voxel and ratio of positive voxel (PVR) in sextant localization were measured. The ROC analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of CC/C in single voxel and PVR in sextant localization. Results There are 1673 and 2426 voxel in prostate cancer and non-prostate cancer respectively. The median of CC/C in cancer sextants was 2. 137; the median of CC/C in noncancer sextants was 0. 600. The difference of these two groups was statistically significant (Z = -41.7, P < 0. 01 ). The diagnostic sensitivity was 81.4% ( 1362/1673 ), the specificity was 83.1% (2018/2426), and the accuracy was 82.4% [ (1362+2018)/4099] for prostatic cancer with the cutoff point 0. 911 of the CC/C value. The median of PVR in cancer sextants and noncancer sextants were 1 and 0 respectively, the difference of PVR was statistically significant (Z = -11.7,P < 0.01 ). The diagnostic sensitivity was 77. 5% (148/191), the specificity was 76. 9% (247/321), and the accuracy was 77. 1% [ ( 148 + 247 )/ 512] for prostatic cancer with the cutoff point 0. 519 of the PVR. Conclusion Detecting the cutoff point of the CC/C value in single voxel and the PVR in sextant localization may be valuable in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
