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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the etiology and prognosis of asymptomatic hematuria in children.MethodsThe etiological factors, clinical features and prognosis of asymptomatic hematuria were analyzed retrospectively in 431 children from Jan. 2001 to Dec . 2014. ResultsIn 431 children (197 males and 234 females) with asymptomatic hematuria, the mean age of ifrst visit was 5.52±2.77 years (8 months-17 years). Four hundred and twenty-ifve cases had persistent microscopic hematuria and 6 cases had gross hematuria. Three hundred and iffteen cases (73.1%) were glomerular hematuria, among which 286 cases were isolated hematuria, 5 cases were acute glomerulonephritis, 13 cases were minimal change glomerulopathy, 4 cases were IgA nephropathy, 4 cases were mesangial proliferation glomerulonephritis and 3 cases were thin basement membrane nephropathy. One hundred and thirty-six cases (31.5%) were non-glomerular hematuria, among whom 113 cases were left renal vein entrap-ment syndrome, 17 cases were idiopathic hypercalciuria, 4 cases were kidney stone, 1 case was urinary tract infection and 1 case was left kidney absence. The mean follow-up period was 3.05±2.69 years (0.5-13.5 years). One hundred and forty-ifve patients showed the resolution of microscopic hematuria, among whom 110 cases (75.8%) had the resolution in 3 years after the ifrst visit. In 24 cases with family history of hematuria, only 6 cases showed the resolution. At the end of the follow-up, renal function remained stable in all children.ConclusionsThe onset age of asymptomatic hematuria in children varies widely, and most of them are glomerular hematuria. Most children with isolated hematuria show resolution within three years after the ifrst visit. The children with familial hematuria may last longer. The isolated hematuria has good prognosis but needs to be followed up.

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.

Objective: To analyze the survival rate of stomach cancer patients and its variation during different periods in Linzhou city, Henan Province, from 1988 to 2004, and evaluate the level of secondary prevention and diagnosis of stomach cancer in this area. Methods: All of the incidence and death records of stomach cancer from 1988 to 2004 were collected and matched from Linzhou Cancer Registry. The records that were identified as duplicate cases or had only death certificate (DCO) were excluded. The tumor cause eliminated life tables in this area were calculated and linked to the data of incidence and death of stomach cancer. FivE-year observed survival rates and fivE-year relative survival rates in three periods (1990-1994, 1995-1999, and 2000-2004) were calculated using period survival analysis mehod. The relative survival curves in the three periods were plotted. Results:The 5-year relative survival rate of stomach cancer was 26.66% during 1990-1994, 32.01% during 1995-1999, and 40.43% during 2000-2004 in Linzhou city. It showed a gradually increasing trend. The 5-year survival rates were higher in males than those in females. During 1990-1994 and 1995-1999, the 5-year survival rates of gastric cardia cancer were higher than those of non-cardia cancer. During 2000-2004 period, the 5-year survival rate of gastric cardia cancer was lower than that of non-cardia cancer. Conclusion: The survival rates of stomach cancer in Linzhou city are increasing gradually since 1990s in 20 century. It indicates that the levels of secondary prevention and clinical diagnosis and treatment on stomach cancer kept increasing in this area.

Objective To explore the short-term efficacy of green channel surgery for hip fractures in the elderly patients.Methods A retrospective study was conducted of the 128 elderly patients with hip fracture who had been operatively treated at Department of Orthopaedics,The First People's Hospital of Beijing Fangshan from January 2015 to September 2017.They were 44 men and 84 women,aged from 65 to 91 years (average,75.5 years).The interval from injury to surgery ranged from 24 to 48 hours for the green channel group of 63 cases but exceeded 48 hours for the non-green channel group of 65 cases.The 2 groups were compared in terms of complications during hospitalization,mortality 3 months after operation and good to excellent rate of hip function.Results The 2 groups were compatible due to insignificant differences in age,gender,internal disease upon admission or fracture type (P ＞ 0.05).All the patients were followed up for 0.5 to 3.0 months (average,2.7 months).The total incidence of complications during hospitalization,and incidences of hypostatic pneumonia,acute cardiac and cerebrovascular accidents and venous thromboembolism were all significantly lower in the green channel group than in the non-green channel group (P ＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of in delirium,sudden death,pressure sore,postoperative urinary infection,or mortality 3 months after operation (P ＞ 0.05).No wound infection or pulmonary embolism was observed in either group.According to the scoring system for hip functions modified by Li Zirong,the good to excellent rate was 76.6％ in the green channel group (36/47) and 68.6％ (35/51) in the non-green channel group,showing no significant difference between the 2 groups (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Establishment of green channel surgery and multidisciplinary collaboration can significantly reduce incidence of postoperative complications.Its effect on the mid-and long-term mortality in these patients needs further observation.

Objective:To characterize the histopathological subtypes and their clinicopathological parameters of gender and onset age by common, rare and sparse primary esophageal malignant tumors (PEMT).Methods:A total of 272 437 patients with PEMT were enrolled in this study, and all of the patients were received radical surgery. The clinicopathological information of the patients was obtained from the database established by the State Key Laboratory of Esophageal Cancer Prevention & Treatment from September 1973 to December 2020, which included the clinical treatment, pathological diagnosis and follow-up information of esophagus and gastric cardia cancers. All patients were diagnosed and classified by the criteria of esophageal tumor histopathological diagnosis and classification (2019) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The esophageal tumors, which were not included in the WHO classification, were analyzed separately according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis. The χ 2 test was performed by the SPSS 25.0 software on count data, and the test standard α=0.05. Results:A total of 32 histopathological types were identified in the enrolled PEMT patients, of which 10 subtypes were not included in the WHO classification. According to the frequency, PEMT were divided into common (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ESCC, accounting for 97.1%), rare (esophageal adenocarcinoma, EAC, accounting for 2.3%) and sparse (mainly esophageal small cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., accounting for 0.6%). All the common, rare, and sparse types occurred predominantly in male patients, and the gender difference of rare type was most significant (EAC, male∶ female, 2.67∶1), followed with common type (ESCC, male∶ female, 1.78∶1) and sparse type (male∶ female, 1.71∶1). The common type (ESCC) mainly occurred in the middle thoracic segment (65.2%), while the rare type (EAC) mainly occurred in the lower thoracic segment (56.8%). Among the sparse type, malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were both predominantly located in the lower thoracic segment (51.7%, 66.7%), and the others were mainly in the middle thoracic segment.Conclusion:ESCC is the most common type among the 32 histopathological types of PEMT, followed by EAC as the rare type, and esophageal small cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma as the major sparse type, and all of which are mainly occur in male patients. The common type of ESCC mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment, while the rare type of EAC mainly in the lower thoracic segment. The mainly sparse type of malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma predominately occur in the lower thoracic segment, and the remaining sparse types mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment.
