ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction after taking Tongnaoyin, a traditional Chinese medicine, based on head and neck computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) combined with brain CT perfusion imaging (CTP). MethodA total of 240 patients with cerebral infarction of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome treated in Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2018 to September 2023 were randomly divided into a control group (99 cases) and a Tongnaoyin group (141 cases). Based on the guidelines, the control group was treated with conventional treatment such as anti-aggregation, anticoagulation, lipid-lowering and plaque stabilization, brain protection, and supportive treatment. The Tongnaoyin group was treated with Tongnaoyin of 200 mL in warm conditions in the morning and evening on the basis of the control group. Both groups underwent CTA combined with CTP within 24 hours after admission, and they were reexamined by CTA and CTP in the sixth month after admission. The degree of intracranial artery stenosis was determined according to the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) method. The relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP) of the lesion area before and after treatment were compared. The adverse outcomes of the two groups within six months after discharge were compared. ResultCompared with the group before treatment, the degree of vascular stenosis in the Tongnaoyin group was significantly reduced, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=105.369,P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the improvement rate of vascular stenosis in the Tongnaoyin group was higher (χ2=84.179,P<0.01), and the curative effect was better.After treatment, the rCBV and rCBF of patients in the Tongnaoyin group were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). MTT and TTP showed a trend of shortening, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in rCBV, rCBF, MTT, and TTP in the control group. Compared with those in the control group after treatment, the rCBV and rCBF in the Tongnaoyin group were significantly increased, while MTT and TTP were significantly reduced (P<0.01). After six months of discharge, the risk of poor prognosis in the Tongnaoyin group was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionTongnaoyin has a good effect on improving cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It can be used as an effective supplement for the conventional treatment of ischemic stroke to improve clinical efficacy.

Acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) refers to the rapid decrease in cardiac output in a short period of time, and it leads to severe insufficient perfusion of various organs and causes systemic microcirculatory dysfunction, which is the most common cause of the death of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). At present, the main strategy for clinical treatment of AMI-CS is revascularization, which reduces the mortality of AMI-CS. However, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion can cause ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, induce myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction, and a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis of cardiomyocytes is the main reason of cardiomyocyte death during reperfusion injury. This article summarizes the role of mitochondrial in AMI-CS, which focus on three aspects of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, mitochondrial autophagy and mitochondrial fusion/division. It is expected to provide new ideas for clinical AMI-CS and identify potential complications targets.

Objective: The aim of the study is to validate whether the Recognition Of Stroke In the Emergency
Room (ROSIER) scale can be used by general practitioners (GPs) in an emergency medical service
(EMS) protocol to transfer stroke patients from primary care center to advanced hospital with acute
stroke center. Methods: GPs prospectively performed the ROSIER scale and the Cincinnati Prehospital
Stroke Scale (CPSS) on suspected stroke patients as a transfer protocol. All patients were immediately
transferred to the Level-II hospital for further treatment. Results: 468 of the 512 suspected stroke
patients met the inclusion criteria in this study. The ROSIER scale showed a diagnostic sensitivity
of 83.13% (95% confidence intervals [CI] 79.74-86.52%) and specificity of 80.88% (95% CI 77.32-
84.44%). The CPSS showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 78.01% (95% CI 74.26-81.76%) and specificity
of 70.59% (95% CI 66.46-74.72%). The Kappa statistic value of the ROSIER scale and the CPSS
were 0.601 and 0.454, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of ROSIER scale was large than
the CPSS (AUC 0.855 vs. 0.791). However, the difference was not significantly different.
Conclusions: This study suggest that ROSIER and CPSS could be used in an EMS protocol to transfer
stroke patients from a primary care center to an advanced hospital offering thrombolysis service

Objective To reveal the pathophysiological changes of sepsis, the plasma metabonomics of septic rats was determined and differential metabolites were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Methods Male Spraguee-Dawley (SD) rats about 8 weeks were randomly divided into sham group (n = 18) and sepsis group (n = 24). Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to build sepsis model, while cecum was kept intact only in the sham group. 6 hours after the operation, rats were anesthetized, and blood was harvested through heart thoracotomy. Then the plasma metabonomics was detected by GC-MS and metabolic profile analysis was performed to find the relative differential metabolites.Results Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed that the metabolic profiling of the sepsis group was significantly different from the sham group. 259 kinds of metabolites were got by GC-MS, and 69 kinds of differential metabolites were found between sham group and sepsis group, in which 23 differential metabolites were related to amino acid metabolism. Compared with sham group, the contents of putrescine, N-glutamic acid, hydroxynorvaline, 3-cyanuric acid, D-alanyl-D-alanine and urea in the plasma of septic rats increased significantly, which ratios of sepsis/sham group were 10.876, 6.394, 2.800, 2.226, 1.323, 1.203, respectively (allP < 0.05). On the other hand, the contents of oxygen generation of proline, citrulline, glutamine, su-beta-hydroxy aspartic acid, citric acid, N-methyl-DL-alanine, serine, lysine, threonine, N-formyl-L-methionine, methionine, alanine, nicotinuric acid, N-methyl-L-glutamic acid, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, proline, L-glutamic acid in the plasma of septic rats decreased significantly, which ratios of sepsis/sham group were 0.858, 0.853, 0.834, 0.816, 0.816, 0.814, 0.813, 0.801, 0.793, 0.792, 0.774, 0.766, 0.748, 0.727, 0.716, 0.674, 0.603, respectively (allP < 0.05).Conclusions Through the GC-MS analysis of plasma metabonomics of septic rats, we found abnormal energy metabolism changes. The content of amino acid in plasma might be a method to evaluate the energy metabolism status of sepsis.
