International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;20(9):686-689
Objective To investigate the effect of mild hypothermia therapy on plasma tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA)/plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in patients with massive cerebral infarction (MCI).Methods The patients with MCI were randomly divided into the conventional therapy group and the mild hypothermia therapy group.On the basis of conventional therapy,the latter received local mild hypothermia therapy for 48 hours immediately after admission.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect plasma tPA and PAI-1 at admission and at 48 hours after mild hypothermia,respectively.The general information and the tPA and PAI-1 levels before and after treatment in both groups were compared.Results A total of 46 patients with MCI were included.There were 26 and 20 patients in the conventional therapy group and the mild hypothermia therapy group,respectively.There were no significant differences in the general information,the tPA and PAI-1 levels before and after treatment in both groups,and the levels of plasma tPA (80.98 ± 34.64 pg/mL vs.110.1 ± 32.7 pg/mL; t =3.462,P =0.013) and PAI-1 (145.40 ± 45.29 pg/mL vs.174.2 ± 38.0 pg/mL; t =4.854,P =0.034) at 48 hours of mild hypothermia therapy in the mild hypothermia therapy group were significantly lower than those in the conventional therapy group.Conclusions Mild hypothermia therapy may decrease the plasma tPA and PAI-1 levels in patients with MCI,and it may be associated with the neuroprotective effect of hypothermia therapy.
2.Effect of mild hypothermia on fibrinolysis system in ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(4):307-309
The imbalance in the fibrinolytic system participates in the pathophysic-logical processes of ischemic stroke. Most researchers consider that the fibrinolytic activity decreases in patients with ischemic stroke, while others believe that it increases. Mild hypothermia is a therapeutic approach with great potential and plays the neuroprotective effect through a variety of mechanisms. Animal experiments have demonstrated that the treatment with mild hypothermia may increase the plasma fibrinolytic activity and decrease the expression of local plasminogen activator in ischemic area. Howere, the related clinical research studies are few, and most of them are limited in the safty and collaborative research of mild hypothermia combined with other treatment therapies.

Objective To discusses the clinical features of early inflammatory bowel obstruction (EPIS-BO) after abdominal surgery,and analyze diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with early inflammatory bowel obstruction after abdominal surgery were analyzed retrospectively from July 2005 to July 2015. Results 45 patients were recovered after non-operative treatment including gastrointestinal decompression , total parenteral nutrition (TPN),antibiotics,glucocorticoid and somatostatin. The average time of treatment was 17.45 days. The other 3 patients underwent laparotomy respectively on 16,19 and 20 days after conservative treat-ment.Two cases were turned to intestinal fistula after operation ,and one of them died after reoperation because of severe abdominal infection 9 days later. Conclusion Conservative treatment should be regarded as the first choice for EPISBO in clinical practice due to less complications and better effect than operative treatment.

High altitude polycythemia (HAPC) had become one of the main common chronic diseases, which had seriously threatened the health of Plateau people. In the Tibetan medicine classic bookSi-Bu Yi-Dian, there were recordings on HAPC treatment methods and medications, which had the unique advantages of identified therapeutic effect with little side effect. This article analyzed Tibetan medicine in the prevention and treatment of HAPC from aspects such as etiology and pathogenesis, clinical treatment advantages and modern innovation study. Questions were also raised on lacking of standardization on HAPC clinical effectiveness, as well as Tibetan medicine compound material basis and action mechanisms were unclear. It was proposed that based on the inheritance of Tibetan medicine theoretical basis and clinical therapeutic effect, the Tibetan medicine original thinking should be combined with modern science and technology, in order to strengthen the analysis of ancient literature collection in HAPC treatment and data mining in medication experiences. The clinical treatment standards and medication plan should be standardized. Methods of systems biology, such as metabolomics, can be used in the further study of the scientific connotation of HAPC treatment by Tibetan medicine.

Objective:To observe the changes of cognitive function, subcortical nuclei volumes, and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters (values of fractional anisotropy [FA], mean diffusivity [MD] and mean kurtosis [MK]) after surgery in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and analyze the correlations of cognitive dysfunction with subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters.Methods:A prospective sutdy was conducted;17 patients with aSAH confirmed by surgery in our hospital from September 2019 to June 2020 were selected as patient group, and 16 healthy volunteers whose age, gender, and education level were matched with the patient group were recruited as control group. Neuropsychological tests and MR imaging were performed in the patients 3 months after surgery and the controls right after enrollment. The structural image data of all subjects were post-processed. Bilateral subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters were analyzed. The differences of general clinical data, subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters were compared between the two groups. The correlations of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scores with subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters were analyzed.Results:As compared with the control group, the patient group had significantly lower MMSE and MoCA scores, and statistically decreased volumes of ipsilateral hippocampus, ipsilateral thalamus and ipsilateral lentiform nucleus ( P<0.05). The FA values of the contralateral caudate nucleus, bilateral thalamus and bilateral lentiform nucleus and MK values of the ipsilateral hippocampus in the patient group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the control group ( P<0.05); while the MD values of the ipsilateral caudate nucleus in the patient group were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group ( P<0.05). The volume of ipsilateral hippocampus was positively with MoCA scores ( r=0.604, P=0.038); the FA values of contralateral caudate nucleus were negatively correlated with MMSE scores ( r=-0.579, P=0.049). Conclusions:Cognitive dysfunction, atrophy of ipsilateral hippocampus, thalamus and lenticular nucleus, and changes of DKI parameters exist in patients with aSAH after surgery. The changes in ipsilateral hippocampus volume and FA values of caudate nucleus may be related to the postoperative cognitive dysfunction in these patients.
