Objective: To compare blood levels of NT-proBNP and uric acid (UA) in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A prospective research was conducted in 288 acute dyspnea patients treated in our hospital from 2010-06 to 2015-05. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on clinical diagnosis: PTE group,n=107 and CHF group, n=181. Blood levels of NT-proBNP and UA were examined in all patients, statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 17.0 software, independent samplet test or variance analysis were used to make comparison between 2 groups. Results: There were more male patients as 64/107 (59.8%) in PTE group and 103/181 (56.9%) in CHF group. Compared with CHF group, PTE group had the lower blood levels of NT-proBNP (2421.7±1678.1) pg/ml vs (6964.3±3873.1) pg/ml and UA (340.6±121.3) μmol/L vs (492.1±166.2) μmol/L, allP<0.01. Conclusion: In our research, blood levels of NT-proBNP and UA were lower in PTE patients than CHF patients; with general background, such phenomenon might be helpful to distinguish PTE and CHF in acute dyspnea patients in clinical practice.

Objective To clarify the intravenous thrombolysis utilization of acute ischemic stroke patients in Huashan hospital,and to analyze the factors affecting thrombolytic therapy compliance.Methods The data from a prospective cohort were analyzed.Consecutive acute stroke and transient ischemic attack patients from Huashan Hospital emergency room were recruited in 2014.Eligible ischemic stroke patients were divided into two groups according to intravenous thrombolysis or not.Results Totally 220 patients from emergency room were assessed in 2014.Among eligible patients,43 patients refused intravenous thrombolysis,whereas 59 patients chose this therapy.After multiple analysis,age,baseline NIHSS score,limb weakness,hemiplegic paralysis,facial paralysis or speech symptoms were significantly different between the two groups (U =936.000,P =0.024;U =284.500,P < 0.01;x2 =8.824,P =0.003;x2 =7.732,P=0.005;x2 =5.169,P=0.038;x2 =5.040,P=0.025).Patients with NIHSS score <7 tended to refuse thrombolysis therapy in the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (sensitivity 0.93,specificity 0.71).From 2008 to 2014,244 cases were analyzed in the thrombolysis database.Compared with patients with higher baseline NIHSS score,intracranial hemorrhage rate (2.6% vs 19.4%;x2 =12.466,P <0.01),7-day mortality rate (1.3% vs 16.9%;x2 =12.308,P <0.01) and 3-month mortality rate (3.8% vs 21.1%;x2 =11.993,P <0.01) were lower in patients whose baseline NIHSS score < 7 (minor group).A higher rate of excellent outcome (3-month modified Rankin Scale score ≤ 1)was observed in minor group (78.2% vs 38.0%;x2 =34.403,P < 0.01).Conclusions Intravenous thrombolysis was performed in 54.6% of eligible ischemic stroke patients.Age,baseline NIHSS score,limb weakness,hemiplegic paralysis,facial paralysis or speech symptoms were associated with patients' decision of thrombolysis.The effectiveness and safety of intravenous thrombolysis were promising for patients with mild stroke.
