Currently,intravenous tissue plasminogen activator within 4.5 hours of stroke onset is the only proven treatment for acute ischemic stroke.However,recanalization rate within 24 hours after the administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator is low,especially when the occlusion site involves a large intracranial artery.The low recanalization rate has prompted the development of endovascular therapy.Nevertheless,all treatment is binary,there is no best but most suitable treatment.In this article we review available researches on endovascular therapy and patients selection for endovascular therapy.

Objective To observe the efifcacy of rosuvastatin in patients with unstable angina and its impact on the levels of lipids, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), homocysteine(Hcy) and troponin I (cTnI). Method 384 patients with unstable angina, from January 2010 to December 2012, were randomly divided into observation group and control group, each group had 192 cases, the control group received simvastatin, the observation group were gave rosuvastatin. The efficacy, and the levels of lipids, hs-CRP, Hcy and cTnI were observed after treatment. Results The total effective rate was 92.19%in observation group which was signiifcantly better than 81.25%in control group (χ2=9.044, P<0.01). Before treatment, the levels of TG , TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, Hcy, hs-CRP and cTnI showed no signiifcant difference, after treatment the levels of TG , TC and LDL-C, Hcy, hs-CRP and cTnI were signiifcantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.01), while, the levels of HDL-C signiifcantly increased than those before treatment (P<0.01), the reducing or increasing levels in observation group were more signiifcant compared with the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Rosuvastatin treatment in unstable angina not only can reduce plasma lipid, but also reduce their inflammation, and stabilize the arterial plaque for unstable angina, it play an important role in development and prognosis.

Objective To explore the feasibility to diagnose ureterolithiasis by 16-multidetector spiral computed tomography (16-MDCT) at different low doses based on body mass index (BMI).Methods A total of one hundred patients from 2009 Sep to 2010 Feb suspected of ureterolithiasis were randomly divided into 2 equal groups undergoing 16-MDCT at standard-dose (120 kV, 240 mA) or lowdose (120, 80, and 50 mA, respectively) based on the body mass index (BMI).Taking the clinical diagnosis as the standard, the sensitivity level, specificity level, and positive predictive value of these groups were compared.Results The dose length product ( DLP ) of the low-dose CT group and the average CT dose index (CTDIvol ) were 18.95 and 6.65 mGy, respectively.There was significant difference between the two groups ( t = 31.78, P < 0.01 ).The sensitivity level, specificity level, and positive predictive value of the low-dose group were 97.1% , 94.0% , and 94.3% , respectively, all not significantly different from those of the standard-dose groups (97.3% , 96.0% , and 97.3% , respectively,P >0.05).Conclusions It is feasible to diagnose ureterolithiasis by low-dose 16-MDCT based on BMI with the obtained image quality meeting the clinical diagnostic requirements.

Objective To assess the feasibility of nuclear matrix protein 22(NMP22)and urinary bladder cancer,antigen (UBC) for the early diagnosis of bladder transitional cell carcinoma and its influencing factors.Methotis 105 subjects,including 60 patients of bladder cancer,25 patients of urological benign disease and 20 normal (healthy)individuals were enrolled in this study.Urine NMP22 and UBC wag assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Urine NMP22 and UBC as well as exfoliocytology were conducted for the purpose to compare the sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value of these three ways.Results The sensitivity of NMP22(88.3%)and UBC(86.7%)were significantly better than exfolioeytology(40.0%,P<0.01).The specificity of NMP22,UBC and exfoliocytology were 80.0%,84.0%and 92.0%,respectively, the positive predictive values were 91.4%,92.9%and 92.3%,and the negative predictive values were 74.1%.72.4%and 38.9%.Conclusions NMP22 and UBC are sensitive,specific,simple,feasible and noninvasive diagnostic markers for the early detection of urinary bladder transitional cell cancer.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary pulmonary peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Methods Two cases of primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS were studied and relevant literature were reviewed. Results Case 1 diagnosed as primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS was a 44 years old woman and disease progressed after GLD (Gem+L-OHP+ DXM) chemotherapy regimen. At last, the patient died of respiratory failure after one month. Case 2 diagnosed as primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS was a 46 years old man and reach partial response after CHOP regimen, and still alive now.Conclusion Primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS is very rare. It is easy to be misdiagnosed due to non-specific clinical and imaging manifestations. Acquiring enough tissue specimens for pathologic examination is the key to a definitive diagnosis. At present, there is no standard chemotherapy regimen for these patients, the prognosis is relatively poor.

Objective To evaluate the reconstruction of bladder using a segmental sinus-body of stomach on the basis of a clinical study.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records,laboratory evaluations,imaging examinations,cystoscopy,urodynamic studies of 30 patients(17 men and 13 women;mean age,55 years;age range,21-69 years) who underwent the reconstruction of bladder using a segmental sinus-body of stomach.Of the 30 patients,24 had primary bladder cancer and 6 had tuberculous contracture of the bladder.Results After operation,the new gastric bladder worked well in keeping and emptying urine.All patients micturated through the urethra.The bladder capacity was 280-580 ml(mean,385 ml).The maximum urethral pressure was 20-60 cm H_2O(mean,49 cm H_2O).The filling bladder pressure was 5-15 cm H_2O(mean,12 cm H_2O).The maximum bladder pressure was 35-65 cm H_2O(mean,55 cm H_2O),and it was 28-60 cm H_2O(mean,46 cm H_2O) during urination.Qmax and post-void residual urine were 10-28 ml/s(mean,18 ml/s) and 5-85 ml(mean,20 ml),respectively.Follow-up ranged from 9 months to 24 years(mean,8.2 years).There were no disturbance of water and electrolyte metabolism,no vesicoureteral reflux,no uracratia,and no damage to renal function.Complications included perineal and vesical pain in 4 cases,enuresis in 5 cases,which gradually remitted 3-6 months after surgery,and bladder stone formation in 1 case,who underwent surgery again.At 3.5 years after surgery bladder tumor relapsed in 1 case,who then underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor. Conclusions Our data show that the substitution of a segmental sinus-body of stomach for urinary bladder worth popularizing because of low complication rate and approximately normal urologic indexes.

Diterpenes, an important class of natural compounds, are widely distributed in nature. As the valuable diterpenoids continue to be found, diterpene synthase in the course of diterpene synthesis get as much attention as possible. The multiformity of end-product-diterpenoids were also due to the diversity of diterpene synthase. This paper focuses on the advances in recent biosynthesis pathway of diterpene and types, cloning, catalytic mechanism, synthetic biology application.
