OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban for early neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS A total of 126 patients with early neurological deterioration of acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to the Department of Neurology, Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method, with 63 cases in each group. All patients received standardized treatment such as lipid-lowering and blood pressure-lowering therapy. Based on the standard treatment, patients in the control group additionally took Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg+Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets 75 mg orally (once a day, for 14 consecutive days). The patients in the observation group received Tirofiban hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection based on the standardized treatment [first intravenous infusion of 0.40 μg/(kg·min) for 30 min, and then continuous intravenous infusion of 0.10 μg/(kg·min) for 47.5 h]; subsequently, patients were given Aspirin enteric-coated tablets (100 mg) and Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets (75 mg) once a day for 14 consecutive days. The clinical efficacy, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, and hemorheological indexes before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the adverse reactions were recorded. RESULTS The total effective rate (87.30%) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (71.43%) (P<0.05). NIHSS scores of the two groups at 1st, 7th and 14th day after treatment, the mRS score at 90th day after treatment, and the platelet aggregation rate, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen at 14th day after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in the same group, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group at the same period (P<0.05). The total incidences of adverse reactions such as nausea, headache, fever, gastrointestinal bleeding, oral and nasal mucosal bleeding and thrombocytopenia in both groups of patients were 28.57% respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS For patients with early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic stroke, the addition of tirofiban can accelerate the recovery of neurological function, improve blood hyperviscosity and platelet aggregation, and improve the prognosis of patients with good safety.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and clinical effects of laparoscopic pneumovesical Cohen and laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir ureteral replantations for the treatment of primary obstructive megaloureter (POM) in children.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted.The clinical data of 51 children with unilateral POM admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to October 2023 were collected.Random number table method was used in the selection of surgical methods.They were divided into the laparoscopic pneumovesical Cohen ureteral replantation group (group A, 22 cases) and the laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir ureteral replantation group (group B, 29 cases) according to the surgical method.The anterior-posterior diameter(APD), maximum ureteral diameter and differential renal function parameters on the affected side were measured by color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, and compared between and within the two groups before and after surgery.The operation time, blood loss and postoperative intubation time were compared between the two groups.The incidence of postoperative complications such as reflux, bladder spasm, urinary retention and urinary tract infection was recorded.The independent and paired sample t-tests were used for statistical analysis. Results:The operation time and hematuria duration of group B [(125.7±14.2) min, (1.5±0.6) d] were significantly shorter than those of group A [(142.6±14.7) min, (2.8±0.7) d] (all P<0.05). The APD, maximum ureteral diameter, and differential renal function on the affected side of group A were (21.7±7.9) mm, (11.6±3.2) mm, and (28.2±4.9)% before surgery, and (10.3±4.5) mm, (6.0±2.0) mm and (43.8±4.4)% after surgery, respectively.The APD, maximum ureteral diameter, and differential renal function on the affected side of group B were (21.1±5.6) mm, (11.3±4.6) mm, and (30.2±5.5)% before surgery, and (10.2±4.5) mm, (6.6±2.0) mm, and (42.4±5.2)% after surgery, respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in the values of APD, maximum ureteral diameter, and differential renal function before and after surgery between the two groups of children (all P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences in the values of APD, maximum ureteral diameter, and differential renal function before and after surgery between the same group of children (all P<0.01). No significant difference was found in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative intubation time, and postoperative complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Both surgical methods are effective in the treatment of POM in children.Laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir ureteral replantation has advantages of less operation time compared with laparoscopic pneumovesical Cohen ureteral replantation.

Objective:To investigate the application status of emergency radiology in China, and to provide data support for the standardized development, scientific management and big data research of emergency radiology.Methods:From August 12th to October 19th, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted through WeChat"Questionnaire Star"to send targeted questionnaires to investigate the relevant data of the current status of emergency radiology in China, mainly including digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT). This study was initiated by the Chinese Emergency Radiology Database Collaboration Group, and comprehensively investigated emergency imaging personnel, equipment, workload, critical value reporting process, and artificial intelligence (AI) application status.Results:There were 123 hospitals in the study. The survey showed that emergency DR/CT reports were mainly completed by residents and above (69.1%). There were 21 DR brands, 10 CT brands and 8 MR brands used for emergency imaging examinations. The median number of DR examinations in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals investigated from January to June 2022 was 4 642 and 2 015 cases respectively, and the median number of CT examinations was 16 512 and 3 762 cases respectively. The average single-shift workload of DR in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift in tertiary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies and 21-50 copies, and the average single-shift workload of CT in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift was mainly 21-50 copies and 51-100 copies, while the average single-shift workload of DR/CT in the emergency radiology department during the day/night shift in secondary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies. In terms of critical value reporting process, 74.8% of emergency imaging doctors and 84.6% of emergency imaging technicians took the way of phone/text message to notify the clinical doctor or the patients′ family. The overall deployment rate of AI in emergency imaging was about 60.2%. 75% of the respondents believed that in the future, AI can improve emergency radiology work from aspects such as emergency screening, aided diagnosis and process optimization.Conclusions:The emergency medical imaging mainly based on DR and CT has the current situations such as generally low seniority of doctors, diverse brands of imaging equipments, large volume of examinations and intense workload per doctor, especially in tertiary hospitals, and dependence on traditional means for critical value reporting. At present, AI is emerging in the field of emergency imaging, and there is still a long way to go to play the huge potential of AI in the intelligent whole process of emergency imaging in the future.
