ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the incidence, risk factors of malignant brain edema (MBE) and the influence of MBE on outcomes after early successful recanalization of acute large vascular occlusion stroke (ALVOS).Methods:A total of 149 patients (age (68±11) years, male 85 (57.0%)) with ALVOS who underwent early endovascular treatment and achieved successful recanalization at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2014 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline data, perioperative data, and 90-day prognostic information were collected from patients enrolled in the study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to explore the relationship between MBE and outcomes, and the risk factors of MBE.Results:Among the 149 patients, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 16 (13, 20), baseline Alberta Stroke Project early CT score was 9 (8, 10), the time of onset-to-puncture was (248.3±61.3) minutes, and the onset-to-recanalization time was (312.4±69.7) minutes. MBE occurred in 23 patients (15.4%, 23/149). The 90-day favorable outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale score≤ 2) in patients with MBE was significantly lower than those without MBE (17.4% (4/23) vs 61.1% (77/126), χ 2=14.985, P<0.001), and the 90-day mortality in patients with MBE was significantly higher than those without MBE (43.5% (10/23) vs14.3% (18/126), χ 2=10.861, P=0.003). MBE was shown to be an independent predictor of 90-day poor outcome (adjusted OR=12.078, 95 %CI 1.934-75.443, P=0.008) and death (adjusted OR=4.146, 95 %CI 1.060-16.216, P=0.041). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the collateral circulation status was related to the incidence of MBE in patients with ALVOS after successful recanalization (level 2 vs level 0, adjusted OR=0.109, 95 %CI 0.021-0.563, P=0.008). Conclusions:MBE is an independent risk factor of ALVOS patients with poor outcome or death in 90 days. For patients with ALVOS, even if the occlusive vessels have been successfully recanalized after early endovascular treatment, MBE is still not uncommon. The collateral circulation state is an independent predictive factor of the development of MBE after recanalization by early endovascular treatment in patients with ALVOS.

ABSTRACT

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. In recent years, the overall incidence of CRC in China has shown an upward trend. According to the national estimates of cancer in China, CRC was the second most commonly diagnosed cancer of the digestive system. Screening of CRC can significantly reduce its morbidity and mortality. The screening methods are diverse. At present, a two-step screening program based on fecal immuno-chemical test (FIT) and colonoscopy is recommended by authoritative guidelines or consensus in many countries. Other screening methods can be used as individualized options and supplements. Multigene germline mutation detection should be performed for extremely high-risk population with multiple colorectal polyps (>10 polyps) and CRC personal or family history; or with more than 20 polyps.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the efficacy of open reduction and osteotomy combined with internal fixation to reconstruct the distal tibial articular surface in the treatment of old pilon fracture.@*Methods@#A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 20 patients with old pilon fracture admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital from July 2014 to February 2018. There were 14 males and six females, aged 21-45 years, with an average of 31.5 years. According to AO classification, there were four patients with C1 type, seven with C2 type and nine with C3 type, all of which were closed fractures. Eleven patients received non-operative treatment while nine patients underwent surgeries. After the surgery, malunion was seen in eight patients, and incomplete union in 12 patients. There were eight patients with posterior articular surface collapse of distal tibia, seven patients with anterior articular surface collapse of distal tibia, three patients with varus deformity and two patients with valgus deformity. All patients were treated with open reduction and osteotomy with internal fixation to reconstruct the articular surface of distal tibia. The time of fracture healing was recorded, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), ankle flexion and extension range of motion, and AOFAS ankle-hind foot function score were compared before and at the last follow-up. The complications were recorded.@*Results@#All patients were followed up for 7-36 months, with an average of 26.4 months. Fracture healing time was 3-7 months, with an average of 4.1 months. At the last follow-up, VAS, ankle metatarsal flexion, dorsal extension and AOFAS scores were significantly improved compared with those before operation [(1.9±1.0)points vs. (6.6±1.4)points, (31.6±2.4)° vs. (18.5±4.4)°, (25.7±2.7)° vs. (15.6±2.7)°, (79.6±7.3)points vs. (42.6±5.6)points] (P<0.05). One patient developed severe ankle traumatic arthritis 7 months after operation and underwent fusion of ankle joint.@*Conclusion@#For old pilon fracture, open reduction and osteotomy to reconstruct the distal tibial articular surface can effectively relieve pain, improve joint mobility and restore ankle function.

ABSTRACT

Objective This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between the rs1187929 polymorphism of tyrosine kinase B gene and post-stroke depression (PSD). Methods A total of 78 depression patients (PSD) and 112 non-depression patient controls (NPSD patients) were included in the study. All participants were evaluated using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and further divided into PSD and NPSD groups. PSD patients were diagnosed in accordance with DSM-V criteria. The rs1187929 polymorphism of TrkB was genotyped by using PCR product purification and Sanger double termination sequencing. Results The total prevalence rate was 41.05% . The prevalence rate was 42.86% in men and 38.82% in women ( 字2=0.316,P=0.57). The CC, CT and TT frequencies of PSD group were 26.92% , 48.72% and 24.36% respectively. The CC, CT and TT frequencies of NPSD group were 42.86%, 45.54% and 11.61% respectively. Based on the CC genotype, the relative risk of homozygous mutant TT was 3.341 (字2=7.347, P=0.007, OR=3.341),and the T allele frequency in the PSD group was 48.72% which was higher than 34.38% in the NPSD group. The relative risk of allele T relative to allele C was 1.814 (字2=7.798, P=0.005, OR=1.814). Homozygous mutant TT and allele T were risk factors for post-stroke depression (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a correlation between rs1778929 gene polymorphism and PSD in Han population in South Anhui Province, which warrants further large-scale studies.

ABSTRACT

Objective To optimize the parameters for the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)of the ulnar nerve in elbow.Methods 5 groups of DTI sequences with different b values and numbers of diffusion gradient directions (NDGDs)were used to collect ulnar nerve images from 13 volunteers,and then the diffusion tensor tractography (DTT)was established.The fractional anisotropy (FA),apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),length of ulnar nerve fiber and DTI image quality were compared under different imaging parameters. Results DTI results for 18 normal ulnar nerves were included in the study.Under different imaging conditions,FAs showed no significant differences.With constant NDGDs,increasing b value decreased both image quality and ADCs of the ulnar nerve.NDGDs had no significant effects on ADCs or image quality.When b=1 000 s/mm2 and NDGDs=20,the length of the ulnar nerve fiber was the longest and DTT had the best subjective scoring in image quality.Conclusion b=1 000 s/mm2 and NDGDs=20 is recommended for DTI of elbow ulnar nerve,so as to obtain high image quality and stable observing targets.

ABSTRACT

Objective Research on the correlation of dyslipidemia of civil aviation pilots and the TCM constitution aimed to explore that how professional environmental affects the lipid metabolism and the constitution.MethodsMeasure the lipid statusand TCM constitution of 656 pilots, and 496 of them with dyslipidemia were studied. The sample were stratified according to the age and the types of dyslipidemia, including young and middle-aged groups, only abnormal total cholesterol metabolism (TC), only abnormal triglyceride metabolism (TG), and both abnormal cholesterol and triglycerides metabolism groups and then the differences in prevalence of traditional Chinese medicine in different groups were analyzed and discussed. ResultsThe prevalence of abnormal lipid metabolism was 75.61% in 656 pilots. The top three TCM constitutions among the pilot with dyslipidemia were phlegm dampness constitution (35.89%), dampness heat constitution (33.06%) and deficiency of Yang(20.97%). If age was not considered, the prevalence of TCM constitutions were not significantly different between the groups of only abnormal TC and TG (P>0.05), while the prevalence of Yang deficiency and dampness heat constitutions of only either TC or TG abnormal group were significantly higher than those of the group of both abnormal TC, TG (χ2 values were 6.793, 5.077, P<0.05). Take age as considered, TC metabolic abnormalities in youth group, the prevalence of damp heat constitution of the only TC abnormal group was higher than both TC, TG abnormal group (χ2=7.637,P<0.01); and the prevalence of Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency constitution of the only TG abnormal group were higher than both TC, TG abnormal group (χ2values were 6.139, 7.525,P<0.05). In the middle-aged group, the prevalences of Yang deficiency and Qi stagnation constitution of only TC abnormal group were higher than only TG abnormal group (χ2 values were 9.750, 3.922,P<0.05), and the prevalence of Yang deficiency of only TC abnormal group was higher than both TC, TG abnormal group (χ2=5.208,P<0.05). The prevalence of Yang deficiency of both TC, TG abnormal group was higher than only TG abnormal group (χ2= 4.489,P<0.05). Conclusions The result showed high prevalence of dyslipidemia in the population of civil aviation pilots. Age and lipid metabolism status could affect the types of TCM constitution. Damp-heat constitution was the common type of TCM constitution in the population of the young pilot, and Yang deficiency and Qi stagnation constitution were the common types in the population of middle-aged people whose lipid metabolism were disorder. The group of only abnormal TC influence on TCM constitution more than both abnormal TC and TG.
