Subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD) is considered to be the most important and common cause of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). If patients with subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment (sVCI) can be found early, it is possible that vascular dementia (VaD) can be identified before occurrence and even reverse the process. Recent studies have shown that resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) may provide the objective basis for the diagnosis of SIVCI. This article reviews the application of rsfMRI in the diagnosis of SIVCI.

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether AN69 ST membrane would prolong filter lifetime in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) without anticoagulation in patients with high risk of bleeding.Methods A single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind control trial with crossover design was conducted. From March 1st to December 31st in 2013, patients who were admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University meeting CRRT treatment indications, but could not receive systemic anticoagulation because of high risk of bleeding were studied. The selected patients were randomly divided into two groups according to a random number table, and four filters consisting of two AN69 ST100 membrane filters (A) and two traditional AN69 M100 membrane filters (B) were used for them. GroupⅠ with the filter order of A-B-A-B, and groupⅡ with the order of B-A-B-A. The clinical data of patients was recorded in detail, and conventional AN69 ST and AN69 membrane filter lifetime, their influence on coagulability, and the incidence of bleeding complications were compared.Results Seventeen patients were enrolled, with 10 in groupⅠ, and 7 in groupⅡ. The basic medical characteristics including gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APAECHⅡ) score, sequential organ failure score (SOFA), Acute Renal Injury Network (AKIN) stage, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), platelet count (PLT), and use of mechanical ventilation were not significantly different between two groups. But the use of vasoactive drug was more frequent in groupⅡcompared with that of groupⅠ[100.0% (7/7) vs. 30.0% (3/10),χ2 = 8.330,P = 0.010]. AN69 ST filter lifetime (n =34) was (15.92±2.10) hours, there was no statistically significant difference compared with that of AN69 membrane (t = 0.088,P = 0.942), filter lifetime of which (n = 34) was (16.12±1.38) hours. It was also found by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis that there was no significant difference between the two membrane filter lifetime (χ2=1.589,P =0.208). Logistic regression analysis showed that the life of the first filter was not correlated with coagulation indicators, including APTT, PT, INR, and PLT [APTT: odds ratio (OR) = 0.977, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.892-1.071, P = 0.623; PT:OR = 1.001, 95%CI = 0.901-1.109,P = 0.988; INR:OR = 1.078, 95%CI = 0.348-3.340,P = 0.896;PLT:OR = 0.996, 95%CI = 0.974-1.019,P = 0.735]. The application rate of vasoactive drugs, which was different between two groups for basic medical indications showed no effect on filter life time (OR = 2.541, 95%CI = 0.239-26.955,P = 0.439). Reasons of clotting in filters were also analyzed, and it was found that blood coagulation in the filter ranked the top (88.2%), and the other reasons were catheter-related problems, death, and unscheduled transport. No difference in blood coagulation function was found in both groups after treatment for 12 hours, and there was no bleeding complication.ConclusionDuring the CRRT without systemic anticoagulant, both surface-treatment with polyethyleneimine AN69 and AN69 ST membrane cannot prolong filter lifetime.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) shows increasing morbidity and mortality. Clinical manifestations of PAD, such as intermittent claudication, rest pain and nonhealing ulcer, contribute to impaired quality of life, and ischemic stroke caused by PAD can be life-threatening. Unfortunately, PAD patients often receive suboptimal treatment, and pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear. Over the past decade, the evolving technology and interdisciplinary collaboration have enabled improvement of diagnosis and treatment for PAD. This review makes a brief summary of the current status and progress in genetics research on PAD, which included candidate gene studies, linkage analyses, genome-wide association studies, and applications and development prospects of epigenetics, mitochondrial DNA and other new technologies.

Varicose great saphenous vein is a common disease of vascular surgery. The treatment needs of a large number of patients and the progress of surgical techniques provide the necessity and feasibility for the active implementation of day surgery. Endovenous thermal closure techniques (laser closure and radiofrequency ablation) and non-thermal, non-tumescent techniques have the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery and fewer complications, and the effective rate and recurrence rate are not inferior to ligation and stripping. Sclerotherapy and phlebectomy are important auxiliary techniques.This paper analyzes and compares the technical characteristics and effectiveness of ambulatory surgeries for varicose great saphenous vein.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the effect of different doses and timing of normal saline (NS) resuscitation combined with norepinephrine (NE) on endothelial glycocalyx in rabbits with early septic shock.
METHODS:
Thirty New Zealand male rabbits were randomly divided into sham group, model group, 30 mL and 60 mL timely resuscitation groups (30 mL and 60 mL timely group), and 30 mL delayed resuscitation group (30 mL delayed group) with 6 rabbits in each group. The rabbit model of septic shock was reproduced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The rabbits in sham group were only received abdominal cavity open without cecal and ligation. The rabbits in 30 mL and 60 mL timely groups and 30 mL delayed group were intravenous infused with 30 mL/kg or 60 mL/kg NS immediately or 1 hour after model reproduction for 1 hour, and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained over 75 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) compared with intravenous pumping of 0.02-0.05 μg×kg-1×min-1 NE followed by 5 mL/h NS infusion till the end of the experiment. The rabbits in sham and model groups were only given 5 mL/h NS. The changes in arterial blood gas before and immediately after resuscitation were observed in three fluid resuscitation groups. The internal jugular vein blood was collected at 0, 3, 6 hours after model reproduction. The levels of syndecan-1 (polysaccharide envelope marker) in plasma were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The rabbits were sacrificed at 6 hours after model reproduction, and the lung tissue was harvested. Western Blot was used to determine the protein expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and syndecan-1. The positive expression of syndecan-1 in lung tissue was observed by immunohistochemical method.
RESULTS:
(1) Blood gas analysis: compared with the results before resuscitation, the levels of lactic acid (Lac) after resuscitation in three fluid resuscitation groups were significantly decreased, especially in 30 mL timely group; the central venous blood oxygen saturation (ScvO2) was significantly increased, especially in 30 mL delayed group. Oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was improved in 30 mL timely and 30 mL delayed resuscitation groups, which was decreased in 60 mL delayed group. (2) Plasma marker: compared with sham group, plasma syndecan-1 level in model group was significantly increased with a time-dependent manner. Plasma syndecan-1 levels at 3 hours in 30 mL timely and 30 mL delayed groups were significantly decreased as compared with those of model group (ng/L: 138.0±2.4, 139.7±15.7 vs. 161.5±4.1, both P < 0.05), but it was significantly increased at 6 hours in 30 mL delayed group (ng/L: 213.1±19.4 vs. 206.4±15.5, P < 0.05). The plasma syndecan-1 levels at 3 hours and 6 hours in 60 mL timely group were significantly higher than those in model group (ng/L: 233.0±28.9 vs. 161.5±4.1, 252.3±27.2 vs. 206.4±15.5, both P < 0.05). (3) Protein expression in lung tissue: compared with sham group, the protein expressions of ICAM-1 and MMP-2 in lung tissue of model group were significantly increased, and syndecan-1 protein expression was significantly decreased. After 30 mL timely or 30 mL delayed resuscitation, the protein expressions of ICAM-1 and MMP-2 in lung tissue were significantly decreased, and syndecan-1 protein expression was significantly increased, especially in 30 mL timely group, which showed statistical differences as compared with those of model group (ICAM-1 protein: 0.56±0.09 vs. 1.04±0.05, MMP-2 protein: 0.83±0.15 vs. 1.06±0.06, syndecan-1 protein: 2.09±0.08 vs. 0.99±0.03, all P < 0.05). The change tendency of protein expressions in 60 mL timely group was opposite to the other two resuscitation groups. (4) Immunohistochemistry: the positive expression of syndecan-1 in lung tissues was significant in the sham group, and it was lowered in model group. The positive expression of syndecan-1 was increased after 30 mL timely or 30 mL delayed resuscitation, but further weakened in 60 mL timely group.
CONCLUSIONS
The dose and timing of resuscitation with NS in septic shock can affect pulmonary vascular endothelial glycocalyx function. The timely resuscitation with 30 mL NS in combination with NE plays a protective effect on endothelial cell and glycocalyx. However, NS resuscitation which was not timely or excessive infusion can make the glycocalyx degradation more obvious, resulting in increased endothelial permeability, microcirculation damaged, thus aggravate lung injury.
