Objective:To investigate the status of cognitive function in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From August 2020 to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 100 patients with cognitive impairment after intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology of Shaoxing People's Hospital as the research object. The patients were followed up three months after intravenous thrombolysis. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Scale and Self-made Cognitive Motor Training Compliance Scale and Exercise Training Compliance Scale were used to evaluate the cognitive function recovery and training compliance of the patients. Univariate analysis of variance and Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive function in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed, 100 valid questionnaires were recovered with the recovery rate of 100%.Results:Three months after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction, there were 85 patients with good cognitive function and 15 patients with abnormal cognitive function. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combined with hypertension, combined with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores, thrombolysis time, infarct site, compliance with cognitive training and motor training were risk factors for cognitive function of patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Cognitive function of patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis is related to hypertension, abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, NIHSS score, thrombolysis time, infarct location, and compliance cognitive with training, motor training. Ultra-early intravenous thrombolysis can protect cognitive function in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It is recommended to strengthen the prevention and control of the above risk factors and carry out early cognitive training and motor training to promote the early recovery of patients.

Objective:To investigate the perinatal prognosis and its impact factors for premature infants with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) who were born at ≤34 weeks of gestation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 68 pregnancies of TTTS with gestational age ≤34 weeks at delivery, among them 106 preterm infants (TTTS group) were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2003 to February 2019. During the same period, another 178 twins without TTTS, congenital malformation, and intrauterine intervention who matched the TTTS group in maternal age (differences within two years) and gestational age (differences within one week) were assigned as non-TTTS group. Perinatal prognosis of TTTS infants born at ≤34 weeks was analyzed by comparing the differences in postnatal early complications and perinatal outcomes (survival time morn than 28 days or not) between the TTTS and non-TTTS groups, recipient and donor twins, mild and severe TTTS infants, and among TTTS infants with different intrauterine interventions. The risk factors for perinatal survival in TTTS infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks were analyzed. Two independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, rank-sum test, Chi-square test, and ordered logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) Among the 68 pregnancies, the overall perinatal survival rate of the neonates was 72.1% (98/136), the double-twin survival rate was 48.5% (33/68), and the rate of at least one survivor was 95.6% (65/68). (2) In the TTTS group, 62 were recipients and 44 were donors. Stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ TTTS was found in 41 cases (mild TTTS group) and stage Ⅲ-Ⅴ in 65 cases (severe TTTS group). (3) The rate of severe brain injury was higher in the severe-TTTS group than those in the mild-TTTS group [9.2% (6/65) vs. 0.0% (0/41), χ 2=4.01, P=0.045]. (4) Gestational age ≤28 weeks ( OR=101.90, 95% CI: 5.07-2 048.37), stage Ⅳ ( OR=14.04, 95% CI: 1.56-126.32) and stage Ⅴ TTTS ( OR=51.09, 95% CI: 3.58-728.81) were independent risk factors for death within 28 days (all P<0.05). (5) Compared with the non-TTTS group, the TTTS group had higher rates of neonatal anemia [51.9% (55/106) vs. 33.1% (59/178), χ 2=9.71], polycythemia [5.7% (6/106) vs. 0.6% (1/178), χ 2=7.18], neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension [3.8% (4/106) vs. 0.0% (0/178), χ 2=6.81], sepsis [15.1% (16/106) vs. 7.3% (13/178), χ 2=4.40], state Ⅲ or higher retinopathy of prematurity [3.8% (4/106) vs. 0.0% (0/178), χ 2=6.81], congenital cardiac structural abnormality [19.8% (21/106) vs. 0.6% (1/178), χ 2=33.45], heart failure [8.5% (9/106) vs. 0.6% (1/178), χ 2=12.29], and renal insufficiency [14.2% (15/106) vs. 1.1% (2/178), χ 2=20.04] (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the twin premature infants without TTTS, those with TTTS and ≤34 gestational age were more likely to have cardiac, cerebral, and renal complications. The more severe the TTTS, the higher the incidence of severe brain injury. TTTS preterm infants with gestational age ≤28 weeks and stage Ⅳ or above have high risk of death.

OBJECTIVE
To explore the moisture and components change law of Peucedani Radix slices during microwave vacuum drying, and effectively improve the drying efficiency and slice quality of Peucedani Radix slices, by carring out drying characteristics analysis and simulation of Peucedani Radix Slices during microwave vacuum drying.
METHODS
Microwave vacuum drying experiments of Peucedani Radix slices under different drying conditions (microwave power density, vacuum degree and slice thickness) were carried out. The changes of moisture ratio and drying rate during drying process were studied. The contents of three coumarin ingredients (praeruptorin A, praeruptorin B and praeruptorin E) in dried Peucedani Radix slices were determined by HPLC. Weibull function was used to simulate and analyze the moisture ratio curve during drying process.
RESULTS
Microwave vacuum drying process of Peucedani Radix slices has three stages: acceleration, constant speed and deceleration. Compared with vacuum degree and slice thickness, increasing microwave power density could shorten drying time and improve drying efficiency more effectively. In the range of experimental parameters, the optimum drying conditions were as follows: microwave power density was 3.0 W·g–1, vacuum degree was 800 Pa, and slice thickness was 2 mm. The changes of all drying conditions had no significant effect on the content of coumarins in dried Peucedani Radix slices. The results of Weibull function simulation and analysis showed that the scale parameters under different drying conditions ranged from 17.43 to 45.38, and the smaller the value, the shorter the drying time. The shape parameters ranged from 1.41 to 1.77 and were all greater than 1, indicating that the drying process was controlled by internal and external water diffusion.
CONCLUSION
The research work not only provides important theoretical basis and technical support for the process improvement and quality control of microwave vacuum drying process of Peucedani Radix slices, but also provides important reference for the standardization of Peucedani Radix slices drying and the formation of quality characteristics.
