China Pharmacy 2015;(21):2933-2935
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect and safety of small-dose argatroban vs. aspirin in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. METHODS:136 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into observation group and control group. All patients were given routine treatment,such as anti-intracranial pressure,oxidative stress,brain protection,oxygen,blood pres-sure,blood sugar control,anti-infective,water and electrolyte acid-base balance,etc. Based on it,control group was treated with Arginine aspirin for injection 100 mg,adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 ml,iv,once a day. Observation group was treated with Argatroban injection 40 mg,adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 500 ml,24 h continuous infusion for continu-ous 2 d,iv;then dose was decreased to 10 mg,adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 100 ml,iv,once a day,for continu-ous 5 d. The course of both was 7 d. The clinic data was observed,including clinical efficacy,NIHSS(National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale)score,Bathel index scores before and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions. The recurrence rate of cere-bral infraction during the 2-year follow-up period was observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was signifi-cantly higher than control group,the recurrence rates of cerebral infarction in observation group within 1 and 2 year(s)were signifi-cantly lower than control group,with significant difference(P<0.05). After treatment,the NIHSS score in 2 groups were signifi-cantly lower than before,observation group was lower than control group;Bathel score was significantly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,with significant differences(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treatment,compared with aspirin, small-dose argatroban can significantly commute the nerve function of acute cerebral infarction,and reduce the recurrence rate of cerebral infarction,with good safety.

Objective To explore the treatment strategies for grade Ⅱ supination adduction ankle fracture. Methods From March 2003 to September 2008, 32 patients with grade Ⅱ supination adduction ankle fractures were treated surgically. There were 21 males and 11 females, at a mean age of 44.5 years (range, 21-76 years). Three patients had open ankle fractures. Anteromedial approach to the medial malleolus was taken to expose the vertical medial malleolus fractures and tibial plafond for exploring damage to distal articular surface of the tibia and that to cartilage of the talus. Open reduction and internal fixation with impaction of the articular fragment and possible bone grafting were applied to restore the height of the collapsed tibia. Medial mallcolus fractures were anatomically reduced and the intra-articular cartilage debris removed under direct vision. Repair of the lateral ligament injuries was decided acoording to the stability of the ligament. Different internal fixation was chosen according to fracture displacement of the block size and degree of lateral malleolus fractures. Fracture union, internal fixation and osteoarthritis were detected by X-ray examination. The range of ankle motion was measured. Maryland foot score was taken to assess the ankle function.Results Twenty-three patients were followed up postoperatively for a mean period of 27.9 months ( range, 6-47 months). Two prominent screws were removed from one patient five months after operation because of loosening. Bony fusion was achieved in all patients after an average period of 2.9 months ( range, 2.3-5.1 months). X-ray examination revealed no other internal fixation loosening or osteoarthritis. The average range of motion was 13 degrees of dorsiflexion (range, 6-17 degrees) and 36 degrees of plantarflexion (range, 27-46 degrees). According to Maryland foot score, ankle function was excellent in 19 patients and good in four, with excellence rate of 100%.Conclusions Understanding injury mechanism of supination adduction ankle fracture, strengthening the diagnosis and treatment of damage of tibial plafond articular surface height, cartilage and talar articular surface cartilage can effectively reduce the incidence of complications such as osteoarthritis. Anteromedial incision allows excellent exposure of the medial tibial plafond for clearance of intra-articular cartilage pieces, recovery of distal tibial articular surface height and placement of internal fixation.

Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) between the patients with hypertensive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in elder age (HHCME) and the patients with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (HTN-LVH).
Methods: Our work included 2 groups, HHCME group,n=47 and HTN-LVH group,n=44. Duplex Doppler echocardiography was performed to determine left atrial diameter (LAd), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), velocity of early diastolic period (VE) and velocity of end-diastolic period (VA) in mitral valve oriifce. Plasma level of NT-proBNP was measured by ELISA. The above indexes were compared between 2 groups.
Results:①Compared with HTN-LVH group, HHCME group presented decreased LVEDd and increased IVST, LVEF, allP<0.001. There were no signiifcant differences in VE/VA ratio and LAd between 2 groups, allP>0.05.②Plasma level of NT-proBNP was higher in HHCME group,P<0.01. With the adjusted age, gender, history of hypertension, LAd, IVST, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, the level of NT-proBNP in HHCME group (1317.19 fmol/ml) was still signiifcantly higher than that in HTN-LVH group (526.19fmol/ml),P<0.01.
Conclusion: The plasma NT-proBNP level was higher in HHCME patients than that in HTN-LVH patients which indicated that HHCME patients may have worse prognosis. NT-proBNP might be helpful for differencing HHCME.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in neonates.MethodsFrom July 2010 to July 2015, seven neonates were diagnosed with IBD in Affiliated BaYi Children's Hospital, Clinical Medical College in Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, Southern Medical University. The data regarding these neonatal cases were analyzed and compared with 45 children with IBD from literature. Thet-test andChi-square test were used for statistical analysis of the data.ResultsSix cases had ulcerative colitis, and one case had Crohn's disease, both occurred 2-20 days after birth, and were characterized by diarrhea, no increase in body weight, anemia and intermittent higher hypersensitive C-reactive protein. Compared with IBD in children, abdominal pain and abdominal mass were rarer, while anemia was more common in neonatal IBD. All fecal cultures and blood cultures in the seven cases of neonatal IBD were negative. Abdominal X-ray revealed intestinal wall thickening in four cases. Multiple ulcers were observed from the cecum to the rectum by colonoscopy. Chronic intestinal mucosal inflammation associated with acute inflammation were found on pathological examination. Six infants received treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid (combined with glucocorticoid in four cases), and one received glucocorticoid treatment only. One infant was started on infliximab treatment from two years old. One of these seven cases died one month after discharge due to refusal to continue treatment, and the disease was controlled in the other six cases. After treatment, one infant was lost to follow-up six months after discharge, two were cured at six and 12 months old without further treatment, and three improved and continued treatment.ConclusionsIn neonates with diarrhea, anemia and no increase in body weight, especially when antibiotic treatment is ineffective, colonoscopy should be performed to facilitate early diagnosis of IBD. Standard treatments result in good outcomes.
