1.Intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for acute cerebral infarction
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(2):113-118
Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) thrombolysis is the most effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke. Its most serious complication is symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The overall incidence reported in the literature is 6%. It is correlated with the wascular injury and the increased vascular permeability. Some clinical features, imaging and laboratory tests can predict the risks of the complication of intracerebral hemorrhage. The mortality and disability are very high in patients with the complications of intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolytic therapy, and their prognosis is very poor. This article reviews the classification, incidence, predictive factors, and prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis.

Objective To investigate the major clinical manifestations and their effect on prognosis in patients with posterior circulation stroke (PCS).Methods The clinical data of 129 consecutive hospitalized patients with acute PCS confirmed by clinical and imaging were registered prospectively,and they were followed up for 3 months.The patients were divided into a good prognosis group (modified Rankin scale [ mRS] score ≤ 2) and a poor prognosis group (mRS score ≥ 3) according to their mRS scores.Results 90.7% patients had 4 to 12 symptoms and signs,only 1 presented an isolated symptom.The most common symptoms and signs were unilateral.Crossed paralysis (1.6%) or quadriplegia (0.8% ) was rare.Univariate analysis showed that the symptoms of unilateral limb weakness (relative risk [RR] 1.262,95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.030-1.546; P =0.030),slurred speech (RR 1.434,95%CI 1.133 - 1.816; P=0.004),dysphagia (RR 2.216,95% CI 1.131 -4.341; P =0.017),and the signs of decreased unilateral muscle strength (RR 1.288,95% CI1.047-1.583; P=0.021),central facial/tongue paralysis (RR 1.467,95%CI 1.164- 1.850; P=0.002),dysarthria (RR 1.468,95%CI 1.154- 1.867; P=0.002),ocular motor dysfunction (RR 3.073,95%CI1.346 - 7.017; P =0.005),and conscious disturbance (RR 5.736,95% CI 1.268 - 25.946; P =0.023) were the risk factors for poor prognosis,while ataxia (RR O.478,95% CI 0.284 -0.804; P =0.002) was associated with good prognosis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that after adjusted for all risk factors,the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (odds ratio [ OR] 1.513,95% CI1.107-2.066; P=0.009),dysarthria (OR,7.11,95% CI 1.207-41.877; P=0.030),ocular motor dysfunction (OR 8.653,95% CI 1.230- 60.887; P=0.030),and large-artery atherosclerotic stroke (OR5.482,95% CI 1.008 -29.803; P =0.049) were the independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with PCS,while ataxia (OR 0.251,95% CI 0.067- 0.941; P=0.040) was independently associated with good prognosis of the patients.Conclusions The clinical manifestations in patients with PCS are complex,the majority of their symptoms and signs are unilateral.Most of the patients showed a variety of symptoms,and the isolated symptoms axe rare.Some symptoms and signs may indicate the prognosis of patients.

To study on the association between the different levels of C-peptide of type 2 diabetes and colorectal adenoma and cancer risk.We detected the concentration of serum C-peptide in 45 type 2 diabetes who were diagnosed as colorectal adenoma and cancer.It showed that serum C-peptide level was higher in type 2 diabetes with colorectal adenomas and cancer than without colorectal adenomas and cancer.The serum C-peptide level may have relationship with colorectal adenomas and cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of electrolytes on the stability of fat emulsion in ALL IN ONE.METHODS: The size of fat emulsion particulates was observed under microscope in 400 - fold magnification.The oil - water demixing was observed with naked eye.RESULTS:The higher the concentration of electrolytes,the stronger the influence on the fat emulsion particulates aggregation and the easier the oil - water demixing appeared.The influence of bivalent ions was stronger than that of monovalent ones.The longer the mixture stored the stronger the influence.CONCLUSION:In order to keep the stability of ALL IN ONE,the concentrations of electrolytes should not be too high,and ALL IN ONE must be used up in 24 hours.

Objective To study the effect of pioglitazone on the differentiation and function of rat osteoclast-like cells (OLC), and to probe the relationship between activated PPARγ2 and osteoclasts. Methods On day 1 of OLC formation from nonadherent bone marrow ceils (BMC) obtained from rats induced by M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-кB ligand (RANKL), 1, 5 and 10μmol/L pioglitazone hydrochloride was added. RT- PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expressions of PPARγ2 and receptor activator of NF-кB (RANK) on day 3, 5 and 7 during incubation, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells,the number of bone resorption pits and the ratio of its area on dentin slice were counted, the activity of TRAP and the mean fluorescence intensity of integrin β3 (CD61) of OLC were also measured. Results (1) The effect on the differentiation of OLC: The addition of pioglitazone at the start of the culture period induced a dose-dependent decrease in TRAP-positive OLC and the activity of TRAP (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) ; the mRNA expression of PPARγ2 was up-regulated by 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone in the early stage of incubation and attenuated with thematuration of OLC on the contrary, however, the expression of RANK was down-regulated by 5 and 10 μmol/L piolitazone in every stage of incubation (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), combined with decrease in TRAP-positive OLC from day 3 by 10 μmol/L pioglitazone. (2) The effect on the function of OLC: the number of bone resorption pits and the ratio of its area on dentin slice were decreased in groups of 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05), no obvious change was noted in the group with 1 μmol/L pioglitazone compared with the control group; the mean fluorescence intensity of CD61 were down-regulated in groups of 5 and 10 μmol/L pioglitazone (P < 0.05 or P <0.01). Conclusion Activation of PPARγ2 pathway by pioglitazone could partially inhibit differentiation and function of OLC derived from rat BMC.

From the perspective of state differentiation and treatment, it is believed that the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is that evil poisons injured the lungs, and the lung qi suddenly collapsed, then blocked and exhausted, and the qi failure to control blood and liquid, then the fluids overflow outside the vessels, and damp phlegm, stasis, and toxins became knotted up in the body, which ultimately leads to qi dysfunction, and a series of symptom arise, so qi impairment is the principal mechanism of ARDS. A combination of Chinese and Western medicine was proposed to treat ARDS by combining tangible qi and intangible qi, using Chinese herbal medicine to boost qi and relieve collapse, percolate and drain dampness with bland medicinals, resolve toxins and dissolve stasis, and regulate qi, and combining with Western medicine to assist qi circulation to improve qi's consolidation, propulsion, and transformation, so as to make the evil qi go away, the positive qi restored, the viscera qi circulated, qi, blood, yin, and yang connected, and the activities of life maintained, and thus to achieve the goal of treating ARDS by integrated Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
