P-glycoprotein is one of the members in the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters. It is expressed in many sites in vivo, and is correlated with multidrug resistance. Under physiological conditions, as an efflux pump, P-glycoprotein in the blood-brain barrier can eliminate endogenous substrates and xenobiotics to maintain the balance of internal environment. But at the same time, it also limits the concentration of therapeutic drugs in brain, and thus reduces therapeutic efficacy. P-glycoprotein inhibitors can get drugs across the blood-brain barrier. It is of great importance to improve the blood concentration in brain and bioavailability of central nervous system drugs.

Objective To investigate the effect of aspirin on the endometrium of patients with severe intrauterine adhesions after electrical resection.Methods 130 patients with severe intrauterine adhesions after electrical resection from August 2013 to August 2015 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group ( 65 cases in each group ); The control group were given progestogen sequential therapy, while the observation group were given aspirin for treatment on basis of the control group; All the two groups were treated for three menstrual cycles; Before and after treatment indexes including uterine endometrial thickness, ovulation of the uterine artery blood flow index artery pulsatility index in ultrasound (PI), resistance index (RI), endometrial blood flow parameters[vascular index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascular blood flow index (VFI)] were recorded and compared, as well as menstruation and uterine cavity shape 3 menstrual cycles after treatment;All the two groups were followed up for one year, and one year pregnancy rates in the two groups were recorded.Results After treatment, the total efficiency in the observation group was 92.3% significantly higher than 69.2% in the control group ( P <0.05 ) .After treatment, in the two groups endometrial thickness, PI, RI, VI, FI and VFI were significantly improved compared with before treatment (P<0.05), but the observation group improved more obviously (P<0.05).Within one years in the observation group the pregnancy rate was 57.1%higher than that in the control group 26.5%(P<0.05) .Conlcusions Application of aspirin can significantly improve the endometrial thickness on the basis of estrogen and progesterone sequential therapy , increase the endometrial blood flow and improve the pregnancy rate, which mechanism may be related to promoting endometrial repair and improving blood perfusion of the uterus.

Symptomatology and medical history taking are the focuses of diagnostics study. With the improvement of teaching and learning, students can basically master the standard process of clinical inquiry of chief complaints to family history efficiently. However, due to the lack of systematic learning of clinical diseases, it's difficult for most students to form a targeted, logical and speculative inquiry thinking pattern, so they are unlikely to write a medical history of present illness that reflects their thinking on disease inclusion and exclusion. In this study, we come up with the characteristics and defects of symptomatology teaching at present, and put forward a new idea of symptomatology teaching by introducing clinical manifestations of diseases and examples of inquiry.

Objective:To investigate the predictors of early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) based on the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) classification system.Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from February 2018 to November 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. According to the OCSP criteria, the patients were classified into total anterior circulation infarct (TACI), partial anterior circulation infarct (PACI), posterior circulation infarct (POCI), and lacunar infarct (LACI). END was defined as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) total score within 72 h after onset increased by ≥2 or motor function score increased by ≥1 compared with the baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for END in AIS patients with different OCSP types. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of each index for END in AIS patients with different OCSP types. Results:A total of 405 patients with AIS were enrolled. Their age was 68.84±12.27 years, and 250 were males (61.7%); 132 patients (32.6%) were in the TACI group, 108 (26.7%) were in the PACI group, 61 (15.1%) were in the POCI group, and 104 (25.7%) were in the LACI group. END occurred in 136 patients (33.6%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that homocysteine (Hcy) (odds ratio [ OR] 1.065, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.012-1.212; P=0.015), baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.209, 95% CI 1.095-1.335; P<0.001) and the time from onset to admission ( OR 1.663, 95% CI 1.282-2.082; P<0.001) were significantly and independently correlated with END in the TACI group. Hcy ( OR 1.137, 95% CI 1.040-1.244; P=0.005), fasting blood glucose ( OR 1.714, 95% CI 1.272-2.311; P<0.001), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ( OR 1.370, 95% CI 1.016-1.848; P=0.039) and the time from onset to admission ( OR 1.266, 95% CI 1.056-1.519; P=0.011) were significantly and independently correlated with END in the PACI group. NLR ( OR 1.446, 95% CI 1.031-2.027; P=0.033) was significantly and independently correlated with END in the POCI group. Fasting blood glucose ( OR 1.301, 95% CI 1.006-1.683; P=0.045), NLR ( OR 1.393, 95% CI 1.025-1.894; P=0.034) and the time from onset to admission ( OR 1.171, 95% CI 1.008-1.361; P=0.039) were significantly and independently correlated with END in the LACI group. ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) of Hcy and baseline NIHSS score for predicting END in the TACI group were 0.617 (95% CI 0.521-0.713; P=0.021) and 0.784 (95% CI 0.706-0.862; P<0.001). The optimal cut-off values were 15.91 μmol/L and 19.5 points, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 63.7% and 85.2%, 62.0% and 86.9%, respectively. The AUC of Hcy, fasting blood glucose and NLR for predicting END in the PACI group were 0.672 (95% CI 0.548-0.797; P=0.005), 0.794 (95% CI 0.697-0.891; P<0.001) and 0.674 (95% CI 0.560-0.788; P=0.005), respectively. The optimal cut-off values were 15.2 μmol/L, 6.85 mmol/L, and 3.71, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 61.3% and 77.9%, 80.6% and 72.8%, 67.7% and 79.4%, respectively. The AUC of NLR for predicting END in the POCI group was 0.850 (95% CI 0.735-0.964; P<0.001). The optimal cut-off value was 5.2. The sensitivity and specificity were 84.2% and 81.4% respectively. The AUC of fasting blood glucose and NLR for predicting END in the LACI group were 0.728 (95% CI 0.614-0.842; P<0.001) and 0.731 (95% CI 0.614-0.842; P<0.001), respectively. The optimal cut-off values were 5.44 mmol/L and 2.71 respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 80.0% and 62.7%, 76.0% and 79.2%, respectively. Conclusion:The predictors of END in AIS patients with different OCSP types are different.

Objective To study the clinical features of patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) having initial symptom of intractable hiccup and nausea (INH) to improve the recognition of the disease.Methods Fourteen patients with NMO having INH as onset,admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to April 2016,were chosen.The onset characteristics,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) results,serum aquaporins (AQP)4 antibody level,head and neck MR imaging of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results NMO with INH as onset was more common in young and middle-aged women;and the symptom was stubborn.Leukocyte increased slightly and total protein was normal or slightly increased in CSF.The positive rate of AQP4 antibody in serum was 79％ and oligoclonal band in CSF was 17％.MR imaging showed 8 patients (57％) had lesions in bulbar tegmentum and area postrema,6 patients (43％) had high cervical cord lesions without medullary lesion;most of the lesions in medulla oblongata and high cervical cord were linear;5 patients (36％) had abnormal signal of brain stem,corpus callosum and cerebral cortex.It was isointense or hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI and FLAIR sequences.Conclusions Antiemetic therapy of NMO with INH as onset is ineffective;the initial symptom is INH,followed by optic neuritis and/or myelitis symptoms.MR imaging shows lesions including bulbar tegmentum and area postrema,or linear signal changes in medulla and spinal cord.

OBJECTIVETo investigate changes in renal function, urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase enzyme (N-AG),liver function, myocardial enzymes, the pathology of renal damage and the mechanism of acute renal failure (ARF) associated with fish gall bladder poisoning.

METHODSEleven patients with acute fish gall bladder poisoning were consecutively admitted to our hospital from September 1997 to October 1999. Renal function, urine N-AG enzyme, liver function, and myocardial enzymes were assayed before and after treatment. One patient consented to a kidney biopsy and the pathology of renal damage was observed under light and electron microscopes.

RESULTSAll patients had multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and 11 patients suffered from ARF. Ten patients had liver dysfunction, ten patients had poisonous myocarditis, and 8 patients had gastrointestinal dysfunction. Renal function, urine N-AG enzyme, liver function, and myocardial enzymes were significantly improved after treatment compared with those of before treatment (P < 0.05). Kidney biopsy showed that the main damage site was the proximal renal tubule. All eleven patients recovered and were discharged from the hospital.

CONCLUSIONSIngestion of fish gall bladder leads to kidney damage, as well as liver, heart and gastrointestinal tract injury. The mechanism of acute renal function failure is the serious tubular damage, confirming the location of kidney damage. Necrosis of the proximal tubules plays an important role in the development of ARF. Immediate hemodialysis is the most effective treatment.
