Objective To investigate the therapeutic method and effect of thrombolysis via super-selective ophthalmic artery catheterization treating central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Methods 9 patients with CRAO were treated by urokinase infusion via super-selective ophthalmic artery catheterization with Seldinger technique. Results In the 9 patients, the visual acuity was improved to different extent in 8, and remained unchanged in 1. No complications was found during the treatment in any patients. Conclusions Thrombolysis via super-selective ophthalmic artery catheterization for CRAO can improve the visual acuity of most of the patients in different degrees. No positive relation exists in clinical therapeutic effect, time of onset, quantity of urokinase and the visual acuity before the treatment. The method of thrombolysis via super-selective ophthalmic artery catheterization for CRVO is safe and reliable.

Objective To investigate the changes of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)in acute phase of cerebral infarction. Methods From March 2011 to June 2012,95 patients with early cerebral infarction from the Neurology Clinic,the Emergency Department and the Cerebral Apoplexy Screening Project Base,and the Neurology Ward of Renhe Hospital were used as an infarction group;61 non-stroke subjects received physical examination in the Physical Examination Center of our hospital in the same period were used as a control group. The cerebral infarction group and the patients with cerebral infarction in different onset of time groups (an onset < 12 h group and an onset 12-24 h group),the different National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score groups (NIHSS 0 -4 group and NIHSS 5 -19 group),and the levels of UCH-L1 and GFAP in the control group were measured and compared among the groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve was established. The cut-off values of the relevant parameters in the diagnosis of cerebral infarction,and the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis were obtained. Results The UCH-L1 and GFAP values of the cerebral infarction group were all higher than those of the normal control group (0. 13[0. 09,0. 21]μg/ L vs. 0. 05[0. 02,0. 13]μg/ L,0. 030[0. 008,0. 130]μg/ L vs. 0. 004[0. 004,0. 020]μg/ L,Z values were 3. 62 and 4. 95 respectively;all P < 0. 01). The UCH-L1 and GFAP values of the NIHSS score 5 -19 group were higher than those of the NIHSS score 0 -4 group (0. 12[0. 08,0. 21]vs. 0. 09[0. 08,0. 18],0. 07 [0. 01,0. 11]vs. 0. 04[0. 01,0. 10];all P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in the UCH-L1 and GFAP values between the onset 12 -24 h group and the onset < 12 h group (0. 12[0. 08,0. 21]μg/ L vs. 0. 09[0. 08,0. 18]μg/ L,0. 030[0. 010,0. 110]μg/ L vs. 0. 040[0. 008,0. 100]μg/ L;all P > 0. 05). The analysis results of ROC curve of UCH-L1 and GFAP for diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction showed that when the plasma UCH-L1 was ≥0. 18 μg/ L,the sensitivity and specificity of UCH-L1 were 68% and 74%respectively;When the plasma GFAP was ≥0. 11 μg/ L,the sensitivity and specificity of GFAP were 70% and 86% respectively. The area under the ROC curve of UCH-L1 and GFAP diagnosis of cerebral infarction were 0. 64 and 0. 71 respectively. Conclusions UCH-L1 and GFAP have obvious change in acute phase of cerebral infarction. UCH-L1 and GFAP may have certain correlation with the severity of stroke.

With the wide development of intra-arterial thrombolysis,the risk factors and the occurrence mechanism of hemorrhagic transformation have drawn great attention.Hemorrhagic tramformation is the most dangerous complication of intra-arterial thrombolysis.The understanding of the occurrence mechanism of hemorrhagic transformation from macroscopic tO microscopic,it is attributed ultimately to the destruction of vascular wall structure or function.The related mechanisms include oxidative stress reaction,leukocyte infiltration and inflammatory reaction,vascular reaction,and extracellular proteolysis.

Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIP) refers to a transient and non-lethal ischemic adaptation in non-vital organs after the vital organs having experienced long-term lethal ischemic injury. Relative to the remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC),RIP has more value in clinical application. However,RIP is still in the cognitive stage of research. This article reviews the advances in research on RIP of each system.

Objective To study the protective effect of different doses of rosiglitazone (RSG)against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods Forty male sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following groups:sham-operation,control,lowdose RSG(1 mg/kg·d),moderate-dose(2 mg/kg·d),high-dose(4 mg/kg·d)goups(n=8 in each grow).A rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 hours and reperfusion for 22 hours were induced by the intraluminal suture method.An automatie biochemical analyzer was used to detect the blood glucose and lipid levels.A solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine serum insulin levels,and the insulin sensitivity indexes were calculated.The effect of rosiglitazone on infarct volume and behavioristics was observed.Results Compared with the control group,the infarct volume was significantly reduced,and the neurological function scores were improved significantly in each RSG group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The insulin sensitivity was significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and hyperglycemia was reduced significantly after cerebral ischemia(P<0.05)and showed a dose-dependent manner.Conclusions RSG has obvious neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia/repeffusion injury in rats.Its mechanism may be associated with the increase of insulin sensitivity.

Objective To study the utilization of DSA for interventional examination and therapy in acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Methods The summarization of properly utilizing the DSA equipment and events happening in the process were analyzed after application on 550 cases with acute ischemic cerebrovascular attacks. Results Application of perfusion DSA is useful to obtain rapid diagnosis and evaluation of interventional therapeutic efficacy for acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. The practical projection angle can display the features and extent of vasculopathy clearly, and offer the best operative position for promotion of rotation DSA and the diagnostic imaging and therapeutic efficacy, three-dimensional reconstruction are usful to the success of interventional management. Imaging measuring technique of DSA would provide precise data for doctors to choose the accurate intervention materials. Conclusion Reasonable utilization of DSA equipment plays an important role in interventional therapy of acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and also is the gold standard for displaying images for rapid diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of internal jugular vein (IJV) intervention therapy in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)with color Doppler ultrasound (CDU). Methods Twelve patients with CVST diagnosed by CDU and the 13 IJV lesions (localized luminal stenosis in 9 cases,venous long-segment slender in 2 cases,and right IJV localized luminal stenosis,and long-segment slender on the left in 1 case)confirmed by magnetic resonance venography (MRV)and/ or digital subtraction angiography (DSA)were enrolled retrospectively. CDU examinations were used at 1 week before and after IJV intervention therapy,6 months,1 year,and 2 years. The changes of the maximum diameter and the maximum velocity (V max )of the IJV were compared. The success rate and the long-term efficacy of the intervention therapy were analyzed. Results One week after treatment,the CDU examinations showed that the diameter of IJV stenosis in 13 IJV were increased significantly compared with those before procedure (4. 7 ± 2. 1 mm vs. 2. 3 ± 1. 3 mm;t = 5. 325,P < 0. 01). The velocity of blood flow of IJV was improved compared with before procedure (localized stenosis in 10 IJV[50 ± 15 cm/ s vs. 87 ± 24 cm/ s];t = 6. 285,P < 0. 01). Six of the 12 patients were followed up for a mean of 18 ± 7 months, two patients had restenosis after balloon dilatation. Conclusions For CVST patients with IJV lesions,the preliminary observation has indicated that IJV intervention therapy may improve the lesion lumen and hemodynamics. However,the intervention therapy,especially after balloon dilatation,the incidence of restenosis is higher. CDU can be used as an objective evaluation means for the long-term efficacy of IJV stenosis.
