0.05). Beer's law was obeyed when methanol concentration was 0-0.07 mg/ml with the correlation coefficient r=0.986. Conclusion This method was accurate and precise, which was suitable for the determination of methanol in cosmetics containing ethanol or not.

Objective To explore the prognostic effect of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging vascular hyperintensity (FVH)on intravenous thrombolysis of acute ischemic stroke.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and imaging data of intravenous thrombolytic patients with acute anterior circulation infarction admitted from May 2009 to December 2013.The presence of FVH was evaluated,and its associations with reperfusion and clinical outcome after thrombolysis were assessed.Results Ninety-three patients were analyzed.FVH was detectable in 55 (59.1％) cases.Patients with FVH had higher NIHSS scores (11.8 ± 6.0 vs 7.2 ± 4.5,P ＜ 0.01),larger initial DWI lesions (5.5 ml vs 2.0 ml,Z =-3.030,P=0.002) and perfusion lesions (42.0 ml vs 3.0 ml,Z=-6.104,P =0.005),compared with those without FVH.The history of hyperlipidemia (OR =0.264,95％ CI 0.07-0.90,P =0.048) and proximal large vessel occlusion(OR =48.874,95％ CI 11.6-205.924,P ＜ 0.01) were independently associated with the presence of FVH.The presence of FVH independently predicted the poor neurological outcome at 3 months (OR =4.143,95 ％ CI 1.440-11.919,P =0.008).However,early reperfusion was associated with favorable outcome in patients with FVH after intravenous thrombolysis (OR =8.500,95％ CI 1.964-36.790,P =0.004).Conclusions The presence of FVH is associated with proximal large vessel occlusion,which predicts poor outcome in patients with intravenous thrombolysis.However,early reperfusion among patients with FVH can improve the outcome.

Objective To explore the effect of time tracking on speed of tissue-type plasminogen activator treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke,and the correlation between door to needle time (DNT) and onset to door time (ODT).Methods Time tracking tables had been prospectively collected since October 2012.The data of intravenous thrombolytic candidates with acute ischemic stroke were retrospectively reviewed from June 2009 to September 2013.Baseline characteristics and the correlation between ODT and DNT were assessed respectively before and after the implementation of time tracking.Results Three hundred and forty-two cases were finally included.Before the implementation of time tracking,ODT was negatively correlated with DNT (r =-0.169,P =0.015) ; Patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stoke history (β =-0.168,P =0.020) and ODT (β =-0.246,P =0.001)accounted for the length of DNT independently.Since the implementation of time tracking,the elderly accounted for more (19.4％ (25/129) vs 10.3％ (22/213) ; x2 =5.552,P =0.018),the baseline nervous impairment was NIHSS scores (milder 11.0 ± 6.3 vs 12.5 ± 6.7 ; t =2.065,P =0.040),the proportions of patients taking multi-modality imaging were larger (63.6％ (82/129) vs 51.6％ (110/213) ; x2 =4.638,P =0.031) and the DNT decreased significantly ((87.6 ± 33.2) min vs (108.4 ± 52.4) min;t =4.274,P =0.000),which was especially seen in patients arrived within 1 hour after onset ((90.3 ±21.0) min vs (132.5 ± 46.0) min; t =5.048,P =0.000),and the previous inversely correlated DNT and ODT (r=-0.169,P=0.015) became irrelevant (r=-0.013,P=0.885).Conclusion Implementation of time tracking reduces DNT,and clears up the effect of ODT on DNT.

Targeting such setbacks as difficulty to registerand difficulty to see doctors at outpatient clinic services,the hospital adopted the lean management since August 2010.For example,diversified reengineering of the outpatient service process in place,which has improved outpatient traffic at the registration section by means of innovated appointment mode and outpatients total reservation;workload balance by means of through-counters for registration and fee payment as well as the timeinterval outpatient visits to doctors; reduced human costs and outpatient back-forth movement by means of integrated service and resources integration.Lean management plays a positive role in hospital management,as proven by much shortened outpatient waiting time,much higher outpatient satisfaction,for a win-win of both patients and the hospital.

Objective To investigate whether cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) can predict hematoma expansion in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage bleeding.Methods One hundred and forty-four patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage bleeding in 6 hours after the onset of symptom were included.Gradient echo pulse sequence-T2 WI (GRE-T2 WI) and computed tomography (CT) were performed to detect the size of hematoma in half an hour after hospital admission.Based on the performance of GRE-T2 WI,patients were divided into microbleeds group and no microbleeds group.CT was performed 24 and 72 hours later to check whether hematoma was enlarged,the ratio of hematoma enlargement and the increased hematoma volume were compared between 2 groups.Results A variable number of CMBs were found in 74 cases by GRE-T2WI on admission.The hematoma volume was increased in 12.5％ (18/144) of patients by CT 24 hours later,and in 13.9％ (20/144) by CT 72 hours later.The ratio of CMBs in microbleeds group was higher than no microbleeds group significantly (70.0％ (14/20) vs 48.4％ (60/124),x2 =4.221,P ＜0.01).Besides,the ratio of the patients with the increased hematoma volume in microbleeds group was significantly higher than no microbleeds group(17.6％ (13/74) vs 10.0％ (7/70),x2 =3.172,P ＜ 0.05).Logistic multiple regression showed that CMBs was the only risk factor which could enter regression equation (OR=2.213,95％CI 1.320-2.972,P＜0.01).Conclusion CMBs patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage bleeding in GRE-T2WI can predict the high risk of hematoma expansion.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between stenosis of intra- or extra-cranial cerebral large artery and capsular warning syndrome(CWS). Methods Eleven consecutive CWS patients hospitalized during period of time from November 2008 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Result In these 11 patients with CWS, 5 patients had motor symptoms only, 4 patients had pure sensory symptoms, and 2 patients had sensorimotor symptoms. Ten patients underwent cervical contrast-enhanced MRA and intracranial MRA examination. The results showed no sign of arterial stenosis. Seven CWS patients eventually had strokes, 1 progressed to stroke despite receiving the therapy of antiplatelet and anticoagulation. All stroke lesions were located in the capsula interna. All the CWS patients had vascular risks: 7 were smoker, 8 had hypertension, 1 had diabetes mellitus, and 5 had hyperlipidemia. One patient had a history of previous stroke; no patient had a history of ischemic heart disease or atrial fibrillation. At follow-up(10. 2 ±3.4)mouths, the average modified Rankin scale score for all patients was 0. 73 ± 1.20.Conclusion CWS was not associated with stenosis of the intra and extra-cranial large cerebral arteries.CWS may be associated with small-vessel single-penetrator disease.

Objective To investigate the impact of the pretreatment perfusion weighted imaging (PWI)-diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) mismatch on reperfusion and early neurological improvement after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.Methods We retrospectively reviewed our collected clinical,laboratory,and radiologic data in patients receiving intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator therapy,who had performed multimodal MRI in both pretreatment and 24 h post-treatment in our hospital..The target mismatch of PWI-DWI was defined as a PWI lesion that was 10 ml or more and 120％ or more of the DWI lesion,with DWI lesion less than 70 ml and PWI lesion less than 140 ml.The smalllesion was defined as a DWI and PWI volume both less than 10 ml.The others were termed non-target mismatch.Reperfusion required a 30％ or greater reduction in PWI lesion volume on the 24-hour follow-up scar.The early neurological improvement was defined as the patients with an NIHSS score of 0 to 4 or 6-point or greater improvement at 7 days.Results Among 45 patients analyzed,19(41％) patients presented target mismatch,of which 8 patients were treated over 4.5 h.The rate of reperfusion and early neurological improvement after thrombolysis in target mismatch group were both significantly increased comparing with non-target mismatch group( 16/19 vs 5/12,x2 =6.092,P ＜0.05 and 13/19 vs 2/12,x2 =7.888,P ＜ 0.05,respectively ),although the recanalization rate demonstrated no significant difference between two groups.The pooled OR for reperfusion was 6.4(95％ CI 1.156-35.437,P =0.034),and the pooled OR for favorable clinical response was 21.7 ( 95％ CI 2.234-210.110,P =0.008 ) in target mismatch patients.Among the target mismatch group,13/16 of patients with reperfusion had early neurological improvement,while no patients without reperfusion had neurological improvement.The rate of recanalization,reperfusion and neurological improvement after thrombolysis demonstrated no significant difference between target mismatch group treated within 4.5 h and beyond 4.5 h.Conclusion Patients with target mismatch profile before thrombolysis had a high reperfusion rate and were prone to get early neurological improvement,indicating that the evaluation of PWI-DWI mismatch may facilitate the selection of patients who may benefit from thrombolysis beyond the time window.

Nowadays, health care products based on static magnetic fields (SMF) and merchandise of magnetic therapy are popular around the world. But the biomedical effects of SMF to animals or human beings remain a widely concerned controversy. In this paper, the recent researches in China and abroad about the biomedical effects of SMF were reviewed in three levels: the cellular, animal and human levels. Nevertheless, these data were not consistent with each other and even some contradicts others' researches. So, it is necessary to do more and further studies on SMF dosing regiman, sham control magnetic device and blinding procedures to obtain the optimal magnetic intensity, the desired therapeutic effects in practical cases and prepare for applying the SMF in biomedical fields more effectively in the future.
