1.Cryptogenic stroke in patients w ith patent foramen ovale
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(1):75-78,79
Cryptogenic stroke refers to ischemic stroke that can not be defined by routine examination at present. Studies have show n that patent foramen ovale may be a common cause of cryptogenic stroke, and its possible mechanism is the paradoxical embolism. With the development of imaging technology , more and more studies have show n that patent foramen ovale is closely associated w ith cryptogenic stroke. This article review s cryptogenic stroke in patients w ith patent foramen ovale.

Objective To investigate the effect of Botulinum toxin type A(BTXA)and rehabilitation intervention on upper limb Brunnstrom stages and ADL performance of stroke patients. Methods In a randomized controlled trial, 30 patients were allocated to either an experimental group (n=15) that received BTXA injection into muscles of the affected arm or to a controlled group (n=15). All patients' Brunnstrom stage and MAS stage were ≥gradeⅡ. All the patients were treated with rehabilitative techniques. The intervention was applied for 3 months. All were evaluated for the severity of spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale,MAS),the level of impairment (Brunnstrom assessment and Fugl-Meyer upper limb test) and disability(Functional Independence Measure,FIM) before and after 1 week, 1,2,3 months of treatment. Results Patients who received BTXA had significant reduction of muscle tone (P

Objective To investigate the variation of serum Thymidine Kinase 1(TK1) in patients with non‐small cell lung canc‐er(NSCLC) and its clinical value .Methods Serum TK1 level of 129 patients with NSCLC and 90 healthy volunteers were measured by sensitive chemiluminescence dot‐blot assay .The serum TK1 level variation of 76 patients with NSCLC were compared before and after operation .Results Serum TK1 level of NSCLC patients were significantly higher than the level of healthy control group(P<0 .05) .Serum TK1 level in Stage Ⅲ >Stage Ⅳ >Stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ >Stage Tis ,comparison between each other was of statistical differ‐ence(P<0 .05) .The serum TK1 level of NSCLC patients at 30th day after surgery was remarkably lower than which before surger‐y(P=0 .001 ,P<0 .01) .The serum TKl level was correlated with lymphatic metastasis(P<0 .01) ,but not with other factors such as pathology types ,age ,sex and smoking .The serum TK1 measurement was high sensitivity and specificity to the diagnosis of NSCLC .Conclusion The serum TK1 level detection has important clinical significance in diagnosis and evaluation of NSCLC pa‐tients .

Aim To investigate the inhibitory and in-duction effects of the active components of SIWU de-coction on cytochrome P450 enzymes ( CYP ) and as-sess the CYP based drug interaction. Methods Ac-tive components fructose, ferulic acid, paeoniflorin, li-gustrazine and their combinations were incubated sepa-rately with human liver microsomes ( HLM) and probe substrates. Metabolites of the CYP probe substrates were determined by LC-MS/MS to assess the inhibitory activities on human CYP1 A2 , 2 B6 , 2 C9 , 2 C19 , 2 D6 and 3 A4 . Sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes model was used to evaluate the CYP1 A2 and CYP3 A1/2 induc-tion. Results The inhibitory rates on CYP1A2, 2B6, 2 C9 and 2 C9 by the test groups at 100 μmol · L-1 were all < 62%, while the activities of CYP3 A4 and 2D6 were not affected. The CYP1A2 activities in the test groups of peoniflorin and its combinations ( 50μmol·L-1 ) were significantly enhanced, with the in-creasing fold more than 40% of positive control group. No significant induction on rat CYP3 A1/2 was ob-served for four principles and their combinations. Con-clusions The active components of SIWU decoction do not show significant inhibitory effects on six CYP isoforms. Peoniflorin could induce the CYP1A2 activity in rat hepatocytes. The induction activity is enhanced by the concomitant use of peoniflorin with ferulic acid and/or ligustrazine.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in rats.Methods Eighteen healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 260-290 g,were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg.POCD was induced by injecting Aβ-40 2μl into the bilateral hippocampi by using a brain stereotaxic apparatus.The rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:normal sahne group (group NS),POCD group,and HBO treatment group(groupHBO).0.9% normal saline 2 μl was injected into hippocampus in group NS.In group POCD,Aβ0 2 μl was injected into hippocampus.In group HBO,Aβ 2μl was injected into hippocampus,and then the rats received hyperbaric oxygen treatment lasting for 60 min once a day within 1-5 days after operation.Morris water maze test was performed on 7,14 and 21 days after operation in each group and the swimming distance and speed and escape latency were recorded.The animals were sacrificed after the end of test,the hippocampi were then removed to detect the activation of astrocytes (by immuno-histochemistry) and content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (by ELISA).Resets There were no significant differences in the parameters of behavior in Morris water maze test on 7 and 14 days after operation between the three groups.Compared with group NS,the swimming distance and escape latency were significantly prolonged,and the activation of astrocytes and TNF-α content were increased on 21 days after operation in group POCD,and the swimming distance and escape latency were significantly prolonged,the activation of astrocytes was increased,and no significant change was found in TNF-α content on 21 days after operation in group HBO.Compared with group POCD,the swimming distance and escape latency were significantly shortened,and the activation of astrocytes and TNF-α content were decreased in group HBO.There was no significant difference in the swimming speed at each time point among the three groups.Conclusion HBO treatment can alleviate POCD in rats,and the mechanism is related to inhibition of activation of astrocytes and inflammatory responses in hippocampi by HBO.

Objective To analyze the incidence of capsular contracture in breast augmentation with smooth versus textured breast implants using a Meta method.Methods Terms such as breast augmentation, capsular contracture, smooth implant, textured implant, breast implant were searched in databases such as MEDLINE,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,CBM and VIP.Documents about breast augmentation with textured and smooth implants were totally collected,and the data of these trials were extracted to obtain a pooled odds ratio of capsular contracture and other complications.Meta analyses were performed by RevMan 5.2 software to estimate the combined effect values.Results Eleven clinical controlled trials were included.The results of meta analysis showed that textured implants group and smooth implant group presented the risk of capsular contracture combined OR=0.32 (95% CI,0.18 to 0.58,P=0.0002),and also presented the risk of other complications combined OR=1.31 (95% CI,0.96 to 1.77,P=0.09).Conclusions Compared with smooth implants,textured implants reduce the risk of capsular contracture after breast augmentation.
